Most casual observers see the conflict between Greeks and Turks on a strategic Mediterranean island as a struggle within a sovereign state. Borowiec concludes that there has never been a Cypriot nation, only Greeks and Turks living in Cyprus, separated by the hostility reflecting the traditional animosity between their motherlands. If these two groups could forget their past conflicts--as did, for example, Germany and Poland--there might be a way to end the partition of Cyprus. At the present time, however, the crisis is likely to continue with varying degrees of tension, threatening the entire Eastern Mediterranean and undermining NATO s cohesion. Borowiec traces the history of Cyprus from antiquity through Ottoman and British colonial rule and the post-independence period. He describes the break between the island s communities in 1963, the UN intervention of 1964, and the path toward the Athens junta s coup in 1974 which caused the Turkish invasion and occupation of the northern part of Cyprus. He compares the conflicting views of the protagonists--the Greek Cypriot majority and the Turkish Cypriot minority. Considerable attention is paid to the two separate economic and political entities on the island. Borowiec analyzes the futility of myriad international mediation efforts and suggests possible ways of creating a climate propitious to dialogue. This important new look at the Cypriot conflict will be valuable to researchers, policy makers, and scholars involved with the Eastern Mediterranean and conflict/peace studies. Minimize

The first thing that hits you about Mojo is that the spirit of the Mudcrutch sessions has carried on with Tom Petty & Heartbreakers. This is the sound of a band playing together in a room - not a studio - facing each other, all singing and playing at the same time. The music is alive, with no overdubs or studio trickery. What you hear is what they created on the spot at that time.As for the songs, Mojo showcases a wide variety of American music from rock n roll to country and both electric and acoustic blues. And then there are the images in Petty s lyrics which slip in on the melodies and set up a home in your head: The barefoot girl in the high grass chewing on a stick of sugar cane, the run-in with the law that begins when a carload of buddies decide to party with the motel maids, and the hilariously audacious idea of opening an album with an electric blues rocker about Thomas Jefferson s love affair with Sally Hemings. Petty would probably chuck a rock at anyone who called him a poet, but he sure is a southern writer of humor and sensitivity.Mojo has juice and guts but it also has some sweet balladry for the slow dancers and even a wacked-out reggae number that is unlike anything that Heartbreakers have done before. It s the kind of album nobody s supposed to be able to make anymore. It got here just in time. Minimize

Never has it been more obvious that some people shouldn t be related in Sisterhood. One sister, Catherine Saint John-Burke (Isabelle Defaut), is an independent, uptight, status-obsessed British woman living alone. Despite an ill-advised affair with a married man, her life is rather humdrum. One day, however, that life is turned upside down when she returns home to discover Shirley Zachary (Sisterhood writer Emily Corcoran; The Invitation), an uncouth Kiwi, drinking a beer on her living room sofa. Much to Catherine s surprise and chagrin, Shirley soon announces that she is a long lost half-sister and their father - whom Catherine thought died when she was a child - is alive and trying to make claims on both of their properties following the death of their mothers!After a DNA test confirms Catherine s worst nightmare, the sisters agree to work together to track down their lothario con-man of a father, Jack McClarkey (Nicholas Ball, Footballer s Wives, Croupier, Eastenders), and get rightful ownership of their inheritance. Of course, hiding from the local Mob, Jack is not an easy man to find. But as Catherine and Shirley get underway by following a man called Sir Crawford , the hilarious, confounding hijinks begin, boldy underscoring the fact that you can t choose your family! Minimize

Almost two decades, six albums and 32 million records sold, vocalist/guitarist Dexter Holland and bassist Greg K, along with fellow classmate (and school custodian) guitarist Noodles, are still delivering on their seventh and latest effort, Splinter. The album was recorded in L.A. and Atlanta, produced once again by Brendan O Brien (who was behind the boards for 2001 s Conspiracy Of One), with The Vandals Josh Freese sitting in after the departure of drummer Ron Welty, who d been with the band since 1986. Completing the old-school punk reunion are Pennywise s Jim Lindberg and former California gubernatorial candidate Jack Grisham of TSOL (who are signed to Dexter s Nitro Records) doing backing vocals on The Noose and Da Hui. Splinter, a name the band chose only after rejecting first choice Chinese Democracy, the ill-fated title Guns N Roses Axl Rose wanted for his yet-to-be-completed new album, stresses the different directions individual members of the band has set out to achieve. Still, the disc boasts some of the group s signature high energy rock on the apocalyptic, doomsday-laden The Noose, the rush of Long Way Home, the introspective dirge of Race Against Myself and the pure punk thrash of Da Hui, the group s tribute to the original native Hawaiian surf brotherhood on the North Shore of Oahu. Dexter and Noodles, surfers themselves, went to the Island to shoot a video riding the waves with Da Hui, which will be included on Splinter s enhanced-CD. Minimize

A secret U.S. military strike force battles a vampire infestation in the South American jungle in this action/horror film commissioned for the Sci Fi cable network. The top brass can t officially admit that vampires exist, but that doesn t stop Col. Jessica Weaver (Lynda Carter) from sending Army commando Hawk (Casper Van Dien) and his team to the rain forest, where entire villages are being overrun by bloodsucking fiends. Things get even trickier when Hawk finds out that his ex-wife, Laurie (Jennifer O Dell) -- who is also Col. Weaver s niece -- is in the same region conducting scientific research. Grieves (Kevin Grevioux), Hawk s right-hand man, soon gets enlisted into the ranks of the undead. But it s Laurie who unwittingly stumbles on the king of all vampires: Javier (Tony Plana), a seemingly mild-mannered nobleman whose secret history beings with the conquistadors and their quest for the fountain of youth. Slayer premiered July 8, 2006 on Sci Fi. Star Van Dien and writer/director Kevin VanHook previously teamed up for the 2005 horror film The Fallen Ones, while Van Dien and Grevioux are both veterans of Tim Burton s Sleepy Hollow. Brian J.

At the end of a nine month European tour, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals landed in a Paris recording studio and completed their new album, Lifeline, in just seven days. The result: a soulful masterpiece with beautifully direct lyrics, undeniable grooves and an effortless energy that recalls the best works of Otis Redding, Bill Withers and Beggars Banquet-era Rolling Stones. Yeah...it s that good. It s no surprise that most bands today don t record albums live, straight to tape, in one room, no Pro Tools, no auto-tune. There are only a handful of modern artists that can pull it off. Since Ben & The Innocent Criminals were so musically connected after such a long tour, they entered the studio immediately. And on a sixteen track tape machine and one full week in the City of Lights, they successfully recorded and mixed an album that will sit alongside all of your old favorites...just like a classic record should.

Film Synopsis: In the turbulence of the 1970s, the international drug trade underwent a fast, violent and lucrative revolution and one ordinary American was at its center. He could have been your next-door neighbor. But in just a few short years, George Jung (Johnny Depp), a high-school football star from Small Town USA, single handedly became the world s premiere importer of cocaine from Colombia s Medellin cartel, changing the course of an entire generation. Blow is a high-velocity look at George Jung s spectacular rise and fall based on the true story of how powder cocaine turned into America s biggest drug problem and how one man from the blue-collar suburbs became the 35 billion-dollar a-year conduit to the Colombian cartels. Ted Demme (The Ret, Beautiful Girls, Life and Monument Ave.) directs this riveting look at the manic allure and dangerous reality of a drug smuggler s everyday life, and unfolds one of the great untold stories from the recent annals of American crime and culture. With smart humor and probing detail, Blow outlines the lifestyle of a mega-rich smuggler the border crossings, the ruthless negotiations, the sudden betrayals, the wild characters, the run-ins with the justice system, the inherent problems in dealing with massive amounts of cash, the temptations and, ultimately, the tragedy of blowing all of your dreams for greed. Blow also stars Penelope Cruz, Rachel Griffiths, Franka Potente, Paul Reubens and Ethan Suplee. The screenplay is by Nick Cassavetes and David McKenna (American Histary X). Minimize

Rascal Flatts won the 2002 CMA Horizon Award. These Days, the debut single from the album Melt rocketed up the Billboard and R&R Streets charts. To learn more about Rascal Flatts, click here.Melt - Cut by Cut THESE DAYS - Steve Robson, Danny Wells, Jeffrey Steele We knew this was a special song. We d already completed the album but we dropped a song that we wrote to put this on our album. GARY This song just blew our hair back. Although we had already tracked everything, we learned we were still budgeted for a little more, so we tracked this the next day and it was stunning. Joe Don TO GOOD IS TRUE Jay DeMarcus, Danny Orton It took just a couple of hours to write that one. I m always a fan of uptempo tunes with great melodies and hooks, and I think we came up with a good one.-JAY As soon as I heard it I loved it. It is catchy, uptempo, and has a lot of energy. It was a no-brainer. JOE DON I MELT Gary Levox, Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley That was truly enjoyable to write. Neil and Wendell had the melody idea and a chorus idea, and they called me in and we finished it that day. It s a sexy tune. I think a lot of women would like to hear a man say they don t have to do anything special to make him melt. GARY Just a big old power ballad. It s one of my favorites on the record. If that song doesn t move you, then there s something wrong. JAY MAYBERRY Arlos Smith It hit us the first time we heard it. It s got chord progressions that are really different and unique. We kept that one on hold for a long time and it s one of my favorites on the record. JAY The banjo really stands out on this track. It tells a lot about life in 2002, how busy you can get being caught up in the rat race. It reminds me of my childhood and it s a really cool tune one of our favorites. GARY LOVE YOU OUT LOUD Brett James, Lonnie Wilson That was another one we got when the tracks were finished. It knocked us out. We just knew we had to cut it. It s Rascal Flatts to a T . It s energy, fun, all about being in love and what any man would want to do for his girl. JOE DON Lonnie s a great writer and a great friend, and he and Brett called and said, Man, we ve got a gift for you. They were right. Yeah, that s definitely us. GARY DRY COUNTRY GIRL - Marcus Hummon, Chuck Jones I was writing with Marcus last year and he said, Mind if I play you a song? He played it in my truck while we were on the way to lunch and I was blown away. The melody is so captivating. I played it for Jay and Gary and we loved it and put it on hold. It has a lot of energy and a good little story.--JOE DON The musicians that played on our album took this thing to another level. It really stood out. Plus, melodically, it s so cool. GARY LIKE I AM Joe Don Rooney, Danny Orton This is a very special song for me, since I wrote it after a conversation with my girlfriend Kassidy. For me, like a lot of men, when a women says great things about you it can be hard to believe. I thought, I don t see everything you se in me, but since you see it, I ll try to be that way. It was very easy to write, and as soon as I came up with the melody I shared the idea with Danny Orton and we wrote It. JOE DON I think you can tell Joe Don was influenced by those 80s power ballads. I think we knew we would all love it because we re all suckers for big sappy ballads, and that song just says it all. JAY YOU Brad Crisler, James LeBlanc We were tracking the 11th song for the album when I was going through some tapes and found one that had just been dropped off. I put the song You on in the headphones and said, Gosh, this is great! I played it for Marty and they thought it was great too. We called the publisher and the song was on hold for Tim McGraw, whose people said if he didn t cut it by 2 p.m. that day, we could have it. He didn t cut it and we tracked it that day. That s how things happen in Nashville when the right person hears it at the right time. JOE DON Melodically it felt like it was us, and again, it was a song wi Minimize

Sydney J. Besthoff III, past president and owner of K&B Drug Stores and grandson of Sydney J. Besthoff (founder with Gustave Katz of Katz & Besthoff Drug Store), is a meticulous keeper of records. The photographs found in this book are from his personal collection, covering the 92-year life span of Katz & Besthoff and K&B Drug Stores. This is a rare opportunity to see these photographs, which chronicle a piece of New Orleans history, during which time the store became a part of the community. K&B Drug Store grew from a local pharmacy with more than 50 locations in the New Orleans area to 186 stores in six states while remaining based in New Orleans. Fondly remembered as the purple dragon, K&B is greatly missed by all those who passed through its purple doors and were rung up on its purple cash registers. Come sit inside a Katz & Besthoff location one last time and have a Nectar soda--and don t forget to pick up half a gallon of K&B ice cream on your way home. Minimize

The road is an enduring theme in American culture; from The Wizard of Oz to Thelma and Louise, and from Bonnie and Clyde to Natural Born Killers, cinematic portrayals of road journeys continually captivate the American imagination. But what is so American about the genre and why does it translate well to some countries but not others? In The Road Movie Book, Steven Cohan and Ina Rae Hark collect essays that attempt to answer these, as well as other questions, about one of the key genres of modern cinema. Organized into three sections, the first, Mapping Boundaries, contains essays that sketch broad themes and ideological tropes of the genre. The following section, American Roads, further historicizes the issues raised in section one and traces the continual reinvention of the genre in Hollywood film from the early 1940s to the end of the 1980s. Alternate Routes, the final section of essays, concentrates on road films that depart from the American landscape or that travel on its cultural margins to explore why the road movie is so pertinent to those who are alienated or marginalized by society. The essays discuss a broad range of films, including Easy Rider, Thelma and Louise, The Grapes of Wrath, It Happened One Night, Faster Pussycay! Kill! Kill!, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and My Own Private Idaho. With 44 stills from the movies discussed, this fascinating collection is the most comprehensive volume devoted solely to the genre of the road movie. Minimize

Recorded in Ireland, Amarantine is classic Enya and once again, the record is a product of the extraordinary and long-standing creative partnership Enya has enjoyed throughout her career with producer/arranger Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan. From the soaring choruses of the title track to the exquisite nuances of Wild Violet based on a haiku by the Japanese poet Basho, everything you could want from an Enya record is here in abundance. Lyrically, however, you will find one or two innovations. In the past, Enya has sung lyrics written for her by Roma in Gaelic, Welsh, Latin and Spanish, as well as English. This time there is no Gaelic. But in addition to the song in Japanese, Enya sings three songs written in a customised language invented by Roma. The idea arose after she d written lyrics in Elvish when Enya was invited to sing the theme song for The Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring soundtrack, at the personal request of director Peter Jackson. With more than 65 million album sales to date, Enya is one of the world s biggest selling artists. A Day Without Rain was released in 2000 and became her biggest selling album to date, staying on the Billboard album chart for over two years. In 2001 two of Enya s songs May It Be and An ron appeared in the film The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring. Enya, Nicky and Roma were all nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for May It Be. Now comes Amarantine, Enya s most rounded and fully realized work to date, music that is as timeless and enduring as the amaranth itself, the mythical flower that never fades. Minimize

The authors analyze the schism between accounting practitioners and academics, providing historical, philosophical, and political perspectives on this division. They support the efforts of the Accounting Education Change Commission in its call for sweeping changes in the scope and quality of accounting education. This schism originated before the turn of the century in the United States over concerns about the best preparation for professional accountants. Since that time, the nature of the schism has broadened considerably. Accounting has largely been taught in a structured framework, far removed from the dynamic and ill-structured situations resulting from environmental changes in which accounting is practiced. This gulf between accounting and practice reflects the schism today, which has become a division between individuals with different philosophical, economic, and political goals and attitudes. Nevertheless, the authors view the schism in a positive light--as a natural reflection of different ideas that lead to beneficial changes. The authors begin with a philosophical perspective on the schism, as a division between opposing ideas, and deal with three areas of the accounting schism: education, practice, and standard-setting. The main focus is on education. The history of the schism is then delineated. Other views of the schism are considered next, including economic, political, and utilitarian. The function of the schism in the world of accounting is examined. Recent changes in the nature and complexity of the environment in which accounting is practiced are presented. This book is suitable for use in accounting theory and policy courses at the undergraduate and graduate levelsand in accounting education seminars at the graduate level. In addition, the book should be of interest to accounting practitioners. Minimize

Before your grandfathers fathers were born, and even before ... Read more

Before your grandfathers fathers were born, and even before their fathers, the Dragon Riders were formed. To protect and guard was their mission, and for thousands of years they succeeded. Their prowess in battle was unmatched, for each had the strength of ten men. They were immortal unless blade or poison took them. For good only were their powers used, and under their tutelage tall cities and towers were built out of the living stone. Wealth flowed into the cities of Alagaesia, and men prospered.Though no enemy could destroy them, they could not guard against themselves. And it came to pass at the height of their power that a boy, Galbatorix, was born. At ten he was tested and it was found that a great power resided in him. The Riders accepted him as their own, and he exceeded all others in skill. Gifted with a sharp mind and strong body, he quickly rose among the Riders ranks.The Riders grew arrogant in their power and ignored caution. During a reckless trip Galbatorix and two friends were ambushed, his friends killed, and his dragon slayed. For months he wandered, becoming more and more mad, until he was found unconscious by a kind farmer, and returned to the Riders council.When the Riders refused to grant him another dragon, Galbatorix grew mad with rage. Vowing revenge on the Riders, he began to hone his use of dark secrets, learned from a Shade. Then, in the dark of the night he stole a dragon hatchling, and convinced Morzan, a weak-minded Rider, to join him in his practice of dark secrets and forbidden magic. Together they gained strength, and waged a war of revenge against the Riders. Twelve more of the Riders, desiring power and revenge, joined Galbatorix, and they became the Thirteen Forsworn.In the last bloody battle, Galbatorix gained dominance over all, and anointed himself king over all Alagaesia. And from that day on, he has ruled.When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it s the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself.Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands. Minimize

Since making his recording debut in 2005, Trey Songz has patiently and artfully crafted some of the most acclaimed and compelling R&B music of the decade. His first two Songbook Entertainment/Atlantic albums, I GOTTA MAKE IT (2005) and TREY DAY (2007), yielded a trio of top ten singles, Girl Tonight, Last Time, and Can t Help But Wait. And when the latter song garnered Trey a coveted Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, it marked the validation of the faith shown in Trey by the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who hailed him as one of the most promising R&B artists we have had since we started the company 60 years ago. Now, with the 2009 release of READY, Trey Songz is more than ready to claim his place in the pantheon of R&B greats. From the street single, Brand New, to his self-described male version of Mary J. Blige s Be Without You in One Love, the Virginian draws on a range of influences to craft an album that will thrill his longtime fans and happily surprise all newcomers to the Trey Songz story. Indeed, with its blend of hip-hop, R&B, and pop - exemplified by tracks like Black Roses, where Trey croons over a distorted guitar - READY demonstrates his growth on every front. The third time around, Trey displays a new vocal maturity combined with his renowned ability to twist notes and keys effortlessly, while presenting an increasing breadth of subject matter. Minimize

Fanatic, dogmatic, fundamentalist --these are the words most often used in the West to describe the Ayatollah Khomeini. The essays in this book challenge that view, arguing that Khomeini and his Islamic movement should be seen as a form of Third World political populism--a radical but pragmatic middle-class movement that strives to enter, rather than reject, the modern age.Ervand Abrahamian, while critical of Khomeini, asks us to look directly at the Ayatollah s own works and to understand what they meant to his principal audience--his followers in Iran. Abrahamian analyzes political tracts dating back to 1943, along with Khomeini s theological writings and his many public statements in the form of speeches, interviews, proclamations and fatwas (judicial decrees). What emerges, according to Abrahamian, is a militant, sometimes contradictory, political ideology that focuses not on issues of scripture and theology but on the immediate political, social, and economic grievances of workers and the middle class.These essays reveal how the Islamic Republic has systematically manipulated history through televised recantations, newspapers, school textbooks, and even postage stamps. All are designed to bolster the clergy s reputation as champions of the downtrodden and as defenders against foreign powers. Abrahamian also discusses the paranoia that permeates the political spectrum in Iran, contending that such deep distrust is symptomatic of populist regimes everywhere. Minimize

The genocide in Rwanda showed us how terrible the consequences of inaction can be in the face of mass murder. But the conflict in Kosovo raised equally important questions about the consequences of action without international consensus and clear legal authority. On the one hand, is it legitimate for a regional organization to use force without a UN mandate? On the other, is it permissible to let gross and systematic violations of human rights, with grave humanitarian consequences continue unchecked? (United Nations Secretrary-General Kofi Annan). This book is a comprehensive, integrated discussion of the dilemma of humanitarian intervention. Written by leading analysts of international politics, ethics, and law, it seeks, among other things, to identify strategies that may, if not resolve, at least reduce the current tension between human rights and state sovereignty. Humanitarian Intervention is an invaluable contribution to the debate on all aspects of this vital global issue. J.L.

Deep within the woods and canyons of California, four teenagers happen upon an ancient book containing the secrets of a strange, malevolent world that coexists with that of mankind.
