Although he officially retired in 1977, Meadows could never leave the army behind, and he went undercover in the clandestine operations to free American hostages from Iran in 1980.The...

I deduced that Sardinia was not Italy and had to have a separate history'. It is not surprising that islands tend to be different from the country to which they are in some way attached. But Sardinia's personality differs even more from that of Italy than one might expect. This book explores that differ...

In this book two ways of writing of the past meet and mesh. One of us has written on mediation and arbitration history for many years, the other on women's history. Because we have worked in the same room during that time, reading and commenting upon everything the other has written, we have influenced each other's content, so that the dispute resolution histories have included women and the women's history have, where practical, included dispute resolution. Then came the time to take that...

Various prophetic voices confirmed that I was destined to write a book, yet the topic remained elusive. Then, in 2023, I received a divine word from someone who had no knowledge of my j...

She has her place in its hi...
