Community in the Digital Age

North American social scientists and philosophers, most working in communications or information, offer divergent and often contending views of the social and political implications of the Internet. They were asked to argue their case rather than proselytize for a position.

The Economics of the Short Period

The foundations of the treatment of the short period were laid by Marshall, and it is his discussion of the concept in "Principles" and his conception of quasi-rent which, together with the additions of later economists, provide the material upon which the author elaborates here.

The Global Industrial Complex

This volume consists of high-quality essays addressing "the global industrial complex dominated by capitalist growth and profit imperatives, bureaucratic efficiency requirements, technological mass production of standardization, and hierarchical administration." A beginning essay by Noam Chomsky sets the stage. The following 11 essays treat topics such as the corporate war economy, the security industrial complex, and the linkage between the media and the military. Ward Churchill's outstanding chapter on the history of government repression is a high point of the volume. Surprisingly, Churchill, famous for his extensive analysis of government mistreatment of Native Americans, does not address this subject except for including the American Indian Movement in a list of organizations that have been targeted. Toby Miller's much shorter study also requires special notice. Miller shows how the government has been able to influence the media, which has been more than willing to produce material that serves propagandist purposes. Singling out these two contributions is not intended to diminish the importance of the other contributions. The essays are well written and devoid of unnecessary jargon. The book's structure is such that students will find it especially useful in terms of research in these subjects, and specialists will also profit from this collection. Summing Up: Highly recommended.

Mishmash - My "After-Mash" Experiences

Mishmash My After-Mash ExperiencesA Pictorial Memoir Richard (Dick) KahnA Synopsis Mishmash has a review of why the United States intervened in the "Korean Conflict" emphasizing college deferments, occupation duty and overall military service. I describe how the Korean people lived in the countryside, in peacetime, in a postwar country. The period of acclimation and assignment from the 21st Medical Regiment to Able Company at the D.M.Z. depicts many experiences with the military and the Korean people. Able Company was the first line of defense in case of a North Korean attack. The military setup, with my medical responsibilities and situations are explained. My first R and R in February 1956 was in Tokyo. There were training activities leading up to Able Company's relocation south of the DMZ. At that time I volunteered for permanent guard duty at the 21st Medical Company. I write about the prevalence of prostitution, revealing my personal experiences. April and July 1956 I went on two Religious Retreats to Japan. September 1956 religious services were arranged for the Jewish Holidays at the 8th Army Headquarters. For my final R and R, in November, my companion arranged for me to stay with a Japanese family followed by touring Niko National Park. Traveling home on emergency leave was quite an episode!
