g e n e r a l i n t e r e s t 1 Way 2 C the World Writings 1984–2006 Marilyn Waring 1984 famine remain as contemporarily relevant as her recent writings on the post-9/11 world. Brimming with pieces that are essential reading for anyone concerned with the state of the world, 1 Way 2 C the World is bound to fascinate and inspire. Marilyn Waring is a professor in the Institute of Public Policy at the Auckland University of Technology. ‘Over the years, I have read much of Marilyn Waring’s published work and I am always struck by several things. First, its lucidity – her prose is richly textured but also clean, crisp, and uncluttered. Secondly, its content and tone – her work is always challenging, thought-provoking, and illuminating but also warmly human and infused with humour. Thirdly, the immediacy of its ‘voice’ – Marilyn’s voice. Reading one of her books feels like one is settling into a stimulating and enjoyable conversation.’ T. Brettel Dawson, Department of Law, Carleton University Marilyn Waring is a truly absorbing figure known as a distinguished public intellectual, a leading feminist thinker, environmentalist, social justice activist, and for her early political career after election to New Zealand’s parliament at age twenty-three. Assembling some of her most thought-provoking writings, 1 Way 2 C the World is a compelling collection of essays and reflections on many important issues of our time. Written in lively, crisp, and often humourous prose, Waring provides illuminating commentary on topics such as gay marriage, human rights, globalization, the environment, and international relations and development. In Waring’s vividly written collection, her accounts of being in India at the time of Indira Gandhi’s assassination and in Ethiopia during the Also by Marilyn Waring: Counting for Nothing What Men Value and What Women are Worth, Second Edition 978-0-8020-8260-2 $27.95 / 1999 North American rights only.

g e n e r a l i n t e r e s t The Science of Bombing Operational Research in RAF Bomber Command Randall T. Wakelam Drawing on previously unexamined files that reassess the efficacy of strategic bombing from tactical and technical perspectives, Wakelam reveals the important role scientific research and advice played in operational planning and how there existed a remarkable intellectual flexibility at Bomber Command. A fascinating glimpse into military strategy and decision-making, The Science of Bombing will find a wide audience among those interested in air power history as well as military strategists, air force personnel, and aviation historians. Randall T. Wakelam is the director of research and symposia at the Canadian Forces College and an assistant professor of Defence Studies with the Royal Military College. After suffering devasting losses in the early stages of the Second World War, the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force established an Operational Research Section within bomber command in order to drastically improve the efficiency of bombing missions targeting Germany. In The Science of Bombing, Randall T. Wakelam explores the work of civilian scientists who found critical solutions to the navigational and target-finding problems and crippling losses that initially afflicted the RAF.
