The book is based on the results of the investigations of the authors in the semi-arid and arid regions (ASAR) of the globe. These investigations brought to the conclusion that the warming climate will cause the drying up of the water resources in these regions. In this case the principles of Sustainable Development will not be able to avert forthcoming catastrophes. These conclusions brought to the compilation of the policy of "Progressive Development", emphasising investment in the development of new water resources and changing the natural environments while advancing the local populations on the dimension of knowledge by education.

For many generations, Guy Fawkes and his gunpowder plot, the 'Man in the Iron Mask' and the 'Devils of Loudun' have offered some of the most compelling images of the early modern period. Conspiracies, real or imagined, were an essential feature of early modern life, offering a seemingly rational and convincing explanation for patterns of political and social behaviour. This volume examines conspiracies and conspiracy theory from a broad historical and interdisciplinary perspective, by combining the theoretical approach of the history of ideas with specific examples from the period. Each contribution addresses a number of common themes, such as the popularity of conspiracy theory as a mode of explanation through a series of original case studies. Individual chapters examine, for example, why witches, religious minorities and other groups were perceived in conspiratorial terms, and how far, if at all, these attitudes were challenged or redefined by the Enlightenment. Cultural influences on conspiracy theory are also discussed, particularly in those chapters dealing with the relationship between literature and politics. As prevailing notions of royal sovereignty equated open opposition with treason, almost any political activity had to be clandestine in nature, and conspiracy theory was central to interpretations of early modern politics. Factions and cabals abounded in European courts as a result, and their actions were frequently interpreted in conspiratorial terms. By the late eighteenth century it seemed as if this had begun to change, and in Britain in particular the notion of a 'loyal opposition' had begun to take shape. Yet the outbreak of the French Revolution was frequently explained in conspiratorial terms, and subsequently European rulers and their subjects remained obsessed with conspiracies both real and imagined. This volume helps us to understand why.

In this erudite and engaging collection, Paul Bodine gathers together two decades of his provocative forays into books and culture, from the popular fiction of Stephen King and Richard North Patterson to the ageless classics of D. H. Lawrence and T. S. Eliot. Bristling with wit, frank analysis, and versatile intelligence, Operative Words features reviews of more than thirty books by such authors as Jay McInerney, Daniel Boorstin, John Keegan, and Doris Lessing as well as detailed profiles of twenty-five major American writers (from Cleveland Amory to Tom Wolfe), all originally appearing in major American newspapers and reference books. Bonus features include in-depth analyses of short stories by Vladimir Nabokov and F. Scott Fitzgerald, the critical reception of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets , and cutting-edge French and American literary theory. No less spirited and eclectic are Bodine's takes on music, which range from an interview with an up-and-coming violinist and reviews of Mahler and Stravinsky biographies to the sounds and images of Roxy Music and John Lennon. A rich feast of opinion and reflection.
