Besieged Bedfellows: Israel and the Land of Apartheid (Contributions in Political Science)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 88.86 $Of the several books that deal with the relationship between Israel and South Africa, this is the most scholarly and sophisticated. Joseph argues that the relationship took a long time to evolve and that it rests on a community of interests and complementary resources. Most important, as the world's two remaining political systems committed to separatist philosophies that exclude indigenous Third World majorities, they have developed an underlying sense of solidarity and kinship. . . . [T]his is a valuable and solid contribution to an understanding of what is widely held to be a highly anomolous relationship. ChoiceA provocative look at the surprisingly close relationship between Israel and South Africa. Besieged Bedfellows draws on a wealth of Western, South African, Israeli sources, including materials previously published only in Hebrew. The book examines the commercial and military spheres of this relationship as well as the available information on Israeli-South African nuclear cooperation. A seperate chapter addresses the familiar objection, Everyone does it [business with South Africa]--why focus on Israel? The book next gives a profile of South African Jewry and what, if any, role this community might have played in forging the connection. Besieged Bedfellows goes on to present a compelling case that there is a great deal more to the Israeli-South African relationship than expediency and realpolitik. The author demonstrates that as well as conducting business, South African whites and Israelis have shown a considerable amount of solidarity and understanding towards each other. He then carefully examines the backgrounds and ruling ideologies of these two political groups.

Reluctant Bedfellows: Feminism, Activism and Prostitution in the Philippines
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 53.34 $This book outlines key facets of the authors’ five year development project on sex tourism and prostitution in the Philippines, and is a powerful reflection on the raging debates taking place among feminists about the Third World. Ralston and Keeble follow the history of prostitution in former military outpost Angeles City, the women and foreign men who live by the trade and the varied organizations attempting to deal with prostitution. Making a strong call for action, the authors encounter resistance and anger from Western feminists who claim any action by Westerners in developing countries is necessarily neo-colonial and ethnocentric.Academic feminist theorizing and identity politics, the two argue, has reached the level of “analysis paralysis” where women and women’s groups do not act for fear of being pejoratively labeled. This has many negative consequences for rights-seeking groups, as Ralston and Keeble experience firsthand in working to bring Angeles City and Canadian women’s organizations together. Both an eye-opening picture of the workings of a community seeped in sex tourism and a sharp review of current feminist theorizing, Reluctant Bedfellows offers much-needed perspective on ways to bring disputing parties together and actually promote change.To see the companion DVD, Hope in Heaven, click here.

Strange Bedfellows: The First American Avant-Garde [first edition]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 35.00 $This book tells the story of the first American avant-garde in art, poetry and the theatre. The people discussed in this book include Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Marcel Duchamp and the Stettheimer sisters. The author suggests that this exchange of ideas transformed modern culture. Quotations from letters, diaries and interviews enliven this history. The development of the avant-garde depended as much on social intercourse, whether sexual, suppressed or platonic, as on aesthetics. By the time of the 1913 Armory Show, bohemia had made a home for itself in New York's Greenwich Village.

Strange Bedfellows: NATO Marches East
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 30.42 $In the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse, the overwhelming majority of policymakers in the United States opposed the eastward expansion of NATO, on the grounds that such expansion would only poison the emerging relationship between Russia and the West. Strange Bedfellows tells the fascinating story of the fierce battle that pitted a handful of passionately committed policy activists and intellectuals against the proponents of this conventional wisdom. Elegantly written, meticulously researched, and benefiting from interviews with more than 60 international affairs experts in the U.S. and Europe, Strange Bedfellows traces the battle for NATO expansion, from its earliest stages, all the way through to the favorable action taken by the Senate on April 30, 1998.

Very Strange Bedfellows: The Short and Unhappy Marriage of Richard Nixon & Spiro Agnew
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 28.44 $Nixon and Agnew were an odd couple whose political love affair disintegrated over five years into a calamitous denouement. Agnew's divisive rhetoric skyrocketed his popularity, but he grew weary of exclusion from the Nixon inner circle. Nixon, concluding that Agnew was not the man to succeed him, conspired to dump him in 1972 and later to remove him from the line of presidential succession. But before Nixon's presidency collapsed in Watergate, a tawdry scandal of payoffs to Agnew in the White House accomplished the job.Jules Witcover, a leading political reporter of that period, wrote political biographies of both men and coauthored the acclaimed account of the Agnew resignation, A Heartbeat Away. Now, with three decades of perspective, a trove of new material including Nixon's White House tapes and interviews with close Nixon-Agnew associates, Witcover has written a captivating narrative that reveals how the foibles, pettiness and weaknesses of each man destroyed that marriage, and ultimately their careers. Very Strange Bedfellows' revealing look into the flawed and fascinating Nixon presidency will be catnip to anyone interested in American politics and American history.

Renaissance and Baroque Silver, Mounted Porcelain and Ruby Glass from the Zilkha Collection
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 8.23 $Silver, porcelain and ruby glass seem unlikely bedfellows, yet the objects in the Zilkha Collection are all united by the medium of silver or luxury metalwork. The objects were also made, for the most part, over about a century and a half. All of them tell a fascinating story of the particular circumstances that produced them: a maker, a workshop, a patron. They also tell the wider story of the society that made them necessary or desirable; the science that made them possible; and of their survival down the centuries.

Mathematicians and their Gods: Interactions between mathematics and religious beliefs
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 72.36 $To open a newspaper or turn on the television it would appear that science and religion are polar opposites - mutually exclusive bedfellows competing for hearts and minds. There is little indication of the rich interaction between religion and science throughout history, much of which continues today. From ancient to modern times, mathematicians have played a key role in this interaction. This is a book on the relationship between mathematics and religious beliefs. It aims to show that, throughout scientific history, mathematics has been used to make sense of the 'big' questions of life, and that religious beliefs sometimes drove mathematicians to mathematics to help them make sense of the world. Containing contributions from a wide array of scholars in the fields of philosophy, history of science and history of mathematics, this book shows that the intersection between mathematics and theism is rich in both culture and character. Chapters cover a fascinating range of topics including the Sect of the Pythagoreans, Newton's views on the apocalypse, Charles Dodgson's Anglican faith and Godel's proof of the existence of God.

By Night In Chile [first edition]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 188.56 $A deathbed confession revolving around Opus Dei and Pinochet, By Night in Chile pours out the self-justifying dark memories of the Jesuit priest Father Urrutia.As through a crack in the wall, By Night in Chile's single night-long rant provides a terrifying, clandestine view of the strange bedfellows of church and state in Chile. This wild, eerily compact novel-Roberto Bolano's first work available in English-recounts the tale of a poor boy who wanted to be a poet but ends up a half-hearted Jesuit priest and conservative literary critic, a sort of lapdog to the rich and powerful cultural elite, in whose villas he encounters Pablo Neruda and Ernst Junger. Father Urrutia is offered a tour of Europe by agents of Opus Dei to study "the disintegration of the churches"-a journey into realms of the surreal-and, ensnared by this plum, he is next assigned, after the destruction of Allende, the secret never-to-be-disclosed job of teaching Pinochet, at night, all about Marxism, so the junta generals can know their enemy. Soon, searingly, his memories go from bad to worse.Heart-stopping and hypnotic, By Night in Chile marked the American debut of an astonishing writer.
