Product Description
Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed (...) A peace based exclusively upon the political and economic arrangements of governments would not be a peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and sincere support of the peoples of the world, and the peace must therefore be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind.

So states the Constitution of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Its purpose was defined as: "to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations." Its clearly lofty goals were ratified and accepted by twenty nations in 1946, with the current membership now nearing two hundred. Over a near half-century of existence, UNESCO has made contributions across several disciplines and fields of international concern, from economic development projects to multinational conferences. It publishes serials and provides grants for study. Although some criticism has been leveled at the organization for being too intellectual and not concerned enough with concrete progress, UNESCO has been invaluable as a think tank and source of ideas for improving the welfare of people across the globe. While the practicality of some of its goals may be called into question, there is no doubt of their well-intentioned origins.

This book offers a substantial and carefully selected bibliography of books and literature about UNESCO, its history, mission, and future prospects. Further access is then provided through author, title, and subject indexes. With the importance of global cooperation to deal with international crises never having been more clear, this book is an essential reference tool for anyone hoping to stay on the cusp of one of the world's most longstanding multilateral organizations. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Biased survey of dissent and disintegration
THIS COLLECTION of 31 essays from the magazine `Index on Censorship'is about Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from 1972 to 1997. It traces the rise of anti-Communist dissent, the dissolution of the socialist societies and their disintegration into the poverty-stricken chaos that we see today.

The enforcers from the International Monetary Fund are only temporarily, we hope, in control there, imposing cuts in wages and welfare spending, privatising and deregulating. They are trying to destroy all collective thought and action, and all peaceful coexistence between peoples and nations. The result is commonly described as shock without the therapy.

The US Government and its NATO allies used `dissidents' to attack independent states and progressive governments, just as scabs are used against trade union struggles. The dissidents themselves are not the daring, creative individuals of their own legends; they are sterile oppositionists, now drowning in a tidal wave of the crassest commercial garbage from the West.

The censorship that the dissidents used indiscriminately to attack is now used against the working class's organisations and publications. The laws that prevented fanning religious, racial and national hatreds have vanished: the fomentors of these violent hatreds, pornographers, and criminals are now running private fiefdoms, little military and commercial empires of corruption.

In Britain, the dissidents' supporters found it easy to support human rights abroad and condemn abuses abroad. They paid just lip-service to opposing the destruction of freedoms at home, and to fighting Thatcher's imposition of the most restrictive laws against unions in Europe. They praised Solidarnosc, while doing nothing about Thatcher's attempted destruction of Britain's trade unions, local government and civil liberties.

What lessons can we learn from the events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union? Primarily, that we must ceaselessly search for improvements in the party's relations with the class. There no models for this, just as there are no models for society as a whole. We cannot just import wholesale whatever they did inthe Soviet Union, or China, or Cuba. Nor can we look to others for example, as some do to the USA or the European Union.

We must build on the unique strengths of the British working class. We have to developa style of work that draws on the strengths of the class, that encourages initiatives from all. We must build on our class's sense of fairness and justice, on the positive attitude to work, on the infinite varieties of workers' skills, and on respect for equality of being.

The British working class is worthy of all respect, for its two-hundred year struggle for existence, to create independent organisations of its own, for the civil liberties necessary to function - presumption of innocence, freedom from arbitrary arrest, trial by jury. It has forced the capitalist class to put up with these achievements, and it has cut down those like Thatcher who wanted to erase them. Our working class needs no lessons from Eastern Europe in asserting our liberties: we will assume responsibility for Britain. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
In almost every volume of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, revisions or supplements interfere with the systematization of the Latin inscriptions. New editions, corrections, annotations, and addenda pertaining to previously published inscriptions make it difficult to keep track. They are, however, the necessary consequence of the growth in the collection of inscriptions from the Roman Empire, a body of material constantly in need of updating. The 150th anniversary of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum is being marked by the publication of the Index numerorum, which provides the entire corpus with a catalogue of all inscription references that are scattered in diverse publications. The Index is an invaluable resource for the epigrapher wishing to maintain a grasp of nearly 200,000 inscriptions. It also contains cross-references to the publication of inscriptions in the Ephemeris epigraphica, Bucheler's Carmina Latina epigraphica, Dessau's Inscriptiones Latinae selectae, Hubner's Exempla scripturae epigraphicae, the Greek inscriptions documented in Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum and Inscriptiones Graeca, and the Inscriptiones Christianae urbis Romae. ...
