But as Rob de Wijk shows in this book, power politics very much remains a force on the international scene. Offering analyses of such actions as Putin's annexation of the Crimea and China's attempts to claim large parts of the South China Sea, de Wijk explains why power politics...

Dr. Jetske Ultee asks, "Do you, too, dream of having beautiful skin? Have you already spent a small fortune on creams, lotions and serums, pursuing that dream? If so, you probably discovered some time ago that those products often promise the earth, but don't actually do that much. The more I have delved into the workings of cosmetics, the more shocked I have become by the nonsense, the half-truths and the out-and-out lies that we are bombarded with by adverts, commercials, and on the labels of all...

Alfred Scheepers A survey of buddhist thought
General in its approach, yet penetrating, this book allows the reader to become acquainted with the highlights of Buddhist philosophy. It not only treats the ideas of the founder of the religion, but follows the development of his thought through the ages. It points out how these ideas were used by the psychologists of the Abhidharma, how they issued in the mystical conceptions of Mahayana. But before all, the book treats the more intellectual notions about time and being as found in the Madhyamaka...
