The brain, more complex than any computer that has ever been invented, is what makes us human. The science of the brain—neuroscience—has emerged as one of the most exciting fields of research and now occupies a central role in medicine, providing a firm scientific basis for clinical practice. At the heart of neuroscience lies the structure of the nervous system: neuroanatomy. An understanding of the nervous system and its anatomy is essential not just to researchers and not just to neurologists and psychiatrists but to clinicians in all subspecialties, because they all will encounter patients with disorders involving the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Stroke, for example, is the third most frequent cause of death in industrialized societies; mood disorders such as depression affect more than one person in 10; and dysfunction of the nervous system can be seen in 25% of patients in most general hospitals at some time during their hospital stay. The neuroanatomy basis for many of these disorders is already known, and for other disorders it will soon be discovered.

Six hundred million Chinese in 1950, and double that today. Eight hundred million Africans on the eve of the third millennium, and probably three times that in 40 years. Humankind under threat from a third world population explosion. Industrial societies enfeebled by depopulation and the opposing risk of a population implosion. Pension systems hard-pressed by aging populations. Northern societies living in entrenched fear of invasions from the east or south, be it history’s yellow peril or the more recent open floodgates from across the Mediterranean or Rio Grande, turning a convenient blind eye to their own ancestral past as invaders, with their most overwhelming wave (toward North America) being a matter of recent history. For the past 50 years, population issues have dogged our contemporaries and they remain as live an issue as ever.

This is a groundbreaking new work from a leading scholar in the field of international relations. Offering a highly original analysis of world events, especially in the light of the Iraq War, Kees van der Pijl explores the history and development of relations between major countries in the international community, and the impact that successive wars and changes in the global political economy have had on the way states relate to each other today. Tracing the liberal state structure back to the closing stages of the English Civil War and settlement in North America, he argues that the rise of the English-speaking West has created rivalries between contender states that are never entirely put to rest. With each round of Western expansion, new rivalries are created. Offering a truly global analysis that covers every area of the world—from Europe and America to China, the Middle East, Latin America and Russia—he analyses the development of international relations after World War II, and questions whether the neoliberal project and its human rights ideology have collapsed back into authoritarianism under the guise of the "war on terror."

Cutting through over half a century of historical build-up, this new and convincing account of World War II uses a global perspective to explain the complicated course in military terms. Black, a distinguished military historian , bucks the current trend to demilitarise and gives due weight to the campaigns and battles that made up the war. In doing so he challenges common interpretations and includes new insights to make this one of the most exciting new histories of the Second World War. Covering all the main areas of conflict, the chronological approach includes analysis of attacks at land, air and sea and a comparison of military resources.
