Albert Einstein, world-renowned as a physicist, was also publicly committed to radical political views. Despite the vast literature on Einstein, Einstein and Twentieth- Century Politics is the first comprehensive study of his politics, covering his opinions and campaigns on pacifism, Zionism, control of nuclear weapons, world government, freedom, and racial equality. Most studies look at Einstein in isolation but here he is viewed alongside a ''liberalinternational'' of global intellectuals, including Gandhi, Albert Schweitzer, Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Romain Rolland, Thomas Mann, and John Dewey. Frequently called upon to join campaigns on great issues of war, peace, and social values, they all knew or corresponded with Einstein. Thisvolume examines how Einstein and comparable intellectuals sought to exert a ''salutary influence'', as Einstein put it in a letter to Freud. Close attention is given to the unique qualities Einstein brought to his interventions in political debate. His influence derived in the first instance from his celebrity status as the scientist of genius whose theory of relativity was both incomprehensible to most and seemingly relevant to many aspects of aspects of culture and the cosmos. Einstein''scomplex and enigmatic personality, which combined intense devotion to privacy and a capacity to perform on the public stage, also contributed to the Einstein myth. Studying Einstein''s politics, it is argued here, takes us not only into the mind of Einstein but to the heart of the great public issues of thetwentieth century.

What causes Anti- Americanism and where are its historical roots? What is the impact of 9/11 on America's sense of itself and its role in the world? Is America paradoxically a victim of its own political and economic power? This book seeks to understand the terrible attacks of September 11th within a broader historical, political and ideological context. Rather than drawing on simple 'clash of civilisation' oppositions, the author argues that it is important to have an awareness of the complex historical processes which influence: America's sense of itself and its changing view of the world How the world, especially the Muslim world, views America The changing nature of international politics and the global system since the end of the cold war. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary and historical sources Richard Crockatt has written a balanced, subtle and highly readable book which provides genuine insight into American foreign policy, anti-Americanism and Islamic fundamentalism. It will be important reading for all those seeking to understand the background to the 'war on terror'.

This book is about the generation of small boat sailors in Britain whose main achievements took place between 1945 and the mid 1960s. These included circumnavigations of the world as well as Atlantic crossings, and a variety of distances and destinations between. Some voyages were full of drama, others were simply (or perhaps not so simply) supremely competent feats of seamanship.All in one way or another pushed boundaries, even if few records were broken or indeed aimed at. In most cases the voyages were carried out without the glare of media attention, but to devotees of small boat sailing the names of the crews and boats still resonate powerfully: Eric and Susan Hiscock (Wanderer III), Peter and Anne Pye (Moonraker), Adlard Coles (Cohoe), Edward Allcard (Temptress and Sea Wanderer), Humphrey Barton (Vertue XXXV), Stanley Smith, Colin Smith, and Charles Violet (Nova Espero), George and Isabel Millar (Truant, Serica, Amokura), Ann Davison (Felicity Ann), Patrick Ellam and Colin Mudie (Sopranino), Miles and Beryl Smeeton (Tzu Hang), John Guzzwell (Trekka).The experiences of these sailors conjure up a particular moment in the history of small boat voyaging. Most were born in the first two decades of the twentieth century and learned their sailing between the wars. Though several served in the Navy or related services, the war brought them a sudden enforced abstinence from pleasure sailing which stoked an appetite for a new start once the war was over.
