Fine UNREAD 1999 1st Ed Cover bright minimal shelfwear Pages clean bright tight Synopsis: The U.S.-Mexican border region is one of the most dynamic in the world, experiencing high population growth rates and substantial economic expansion since the 1940s. This growth was accelerated by the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA) in 1994 and, today, border communities face significant problems related to basic infrastructure, economic prosperity, social well-being, and deterioriation of the environment.

They react to specific problems that currently threaten the quality of life of border residents. Border communities must also begin to anticipate and plan for future needs. The Border Institute, organized by the Southwest Center for Environmental Research and Policy (SCERP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in collaboration with the Border Trade Alliance (BTA), initiated the process of determining how to ensure adequate environmental quality for border residents in the future.

New York: The Free Press, 1995. Near Fine 1995 1st printing Cover bright, minor shelfwear mainly to spinetips, back bottom edge chipped Pages clean bright tight Dust Jacket bright, minor shelfwear to edges, spinetips, few sm scuffs Book Description Shortly before releasing deadly sarin gas on the Tokyo subway in March 1995, the Aum Shinrikyo religious cult published a vicious 95-page antisemitic tract that declared war on its Jewish archenemy. The gassing of the Tokyo subway was the culmination of a century of Japanese theorizing about Jews, an important part of which has been antisemitic. In recent years, books blaming Jews for everything from the designs on Japanese currency to the 1995 Kobe earthquake have appeared, and some have sold millions of copies. What explains this virtual obsession with Jews in Japan--a country that "has" no Jews? In this highly original cultural and intellectual history, David G. Goodman and Masanori Miyazawa show that present-day Japanese attitudes toward Jews are the result of a process of accretion that began nearly 200 years ago. Skillfully tracing the historical development of Japanese images of Jews against the background of the development of modern Japanese culture, they describe how these images reflect the great themes of modern Japanese intellectual life. Spanning fields ranging from politics to poetry, the authors demonstrate how Japanese attitudes toward Jews have had real political and cultural consequences, culminating in the 1995 subway gassing and resonating into the twenty-first century..
