Klare THE RACE FOR WHAT’S LEFT The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources Publication: March 2012 Category: Current Affairs Editor: Sara Bershtel The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of resource depletion--a crisis that goes beyond “peak oil” to encompass shortages of coal and natural gas, copper and cobalt, water and arable land. With all of the Earth’s habitable areas already in use, the desperate hunt for supplies has now reached the final frontiers. The Race for What’s Left takes us from the Arctic to war zones to deep ocean floors, from a Russian submarine planting the country’s flag under the North Pole to the large-scale buying up of African farmland by Saudi Arabia and other nations. As Klare explains, this frenzy of extreme exploration and acquisition carries grave consequences. With resource extraction growing more complex, the environmental risks are becoming increasingly severe; the Deepwater Horizon disaster is only a preview of the dangers to come. At the same time, the intense search for dwindling supplies is igniting new border disputes, raising the likelihood of military confrontation. The only way out, Klare argues, will be to alter our consumption patterns altogether--a crucial task that will be the greatest challenge of the coming century. Michael Klare is the author of Resource Wars, Blood and Oil, and Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet. Klare, the Five College Professor of Program Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College in Amherst. Klare also serves on the boards of directors of Human Rights Watch, and the Arms Control Association. He is a regular contributor to many publications including The Nation, TomDispatch, Mother Jones, and is a frequent columnist for Foreign Policy In Focus. “If you think oil is the only major thing we’re running short of, think again. Michael Klare has long been farsighted about the many hazards of a resource-hungry world, and this crisp, authoritative survey does more than just show what the other dangers are. It also feels like a guidebook to wars to come.” —Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost British: Henry Holt Translation: Henry Holt Options: UK / Oneworld, Italian / Edizioni Ambiente, Spanish / Ediciones Urano, Chinese (Complex) / Wealth Press, Chinese (Simplified) / Hainan Publishing House, Korean / Korea Institute for Maritime Strategy
Publication: September 2000 Editor: Jack Macrae Christian Science Monitor Previously Published – Henry Holt Fiction George V. Higgins THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE A Novel Eddie Coyle is a small-time punk with a big time problem—who to sell out to avoid being sent up again. Eddie works for Jimmy Scalisi, supplying him with guns for a couple for bank jobs. But a cop named Foly is onto Eddie, and he’s leaning on him to finger Scalisi, a gang leader with a lot to hide. These and others make up the bunch of hoods, gunmen, thieves, and executioners who are wheeling, dealing, chasing, and stealing in the underworld of Eddie Coyle. “Simultaneously a brilliant thriller and a cold and convincing business prospectus of felony.” –The New Yorker “First-rate, absolutely convincing, enormously readable.” –The “Chilling… the most penetrating glimpse yet into what seems the real world of crime… Positively reeking with authenticity.” –The New York Times Book Review “Higgins can plot a whole book like one log chase scene. He can write dialogue so authentic it spits… This cops-and-robbers novel qualifies him for the corner table where all the best tellers of low tales sit.” –Life British: Orion Translation: Henry Holt Rights sold: Italian / Einaudi, Spanish / Libros del Asteroide
