International Arms Control: Issues and Agreements
$23.68
Book
This is a reproduction edition from the 1976 publication.
This is an exhaustive analysis of national and international arms control: its history, philosophy, cultural context, technology, economic and political ramifications, achievements, and future prospects. The book reflects the combined contributions of the Stanford Arms Control Group, an interdisciplinary group of nearly twenty faculty members who have been jointly teaching an undergraduate arms control course at Stanford University since 1971.
The book will assist the general reader in understanding and forming intelligent opinions on such issues as the role of doctrine in military strategy, the difficulties posed by rapidly changing technology, and the value limitations of arms control as a way to prevent war. It is also designed as supplementary reading for courses in international relations, diplomatic history, and foreign policy.
An appendix contains the text of eighteen major arms control agreements. The volume concludes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading.
John H. Barton is Professor of Law at Stanford University. Lawrence D. Weiler is
Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Stanford University.

Icefall, Lambert Glacier, Antarctica
Image taken 12/2/2000
The Lambert Glacier in Antarctica, is the world's largest glacier. The focal point of this image is an icefall that feeds into the Lambert glacier from the vast ice sheet covering the polar plateau. Ice flows like water, albeit much more slowly. Cracks can be seen in this icefall as it bends and twists on its slow-motion descent 1300 feet (400 meters) to the glacier below.
This Icefall can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 42 Row 133/134/135, center: -70.92, 69.15. Image courtesy of USGS National Center for EROS and NASA Landsat Project Science Office.
This is a silver halide photographic poster print on archival Kodak paper.
