A Higher Form of Killing opens with the first devastating battlefield use of lethal gas in World War I, and then investigates the stockpiling of biological weapons during World War II and in the decades afterward as well as the inhuman experiments con-ducted to test their effectiveness. This updated edition includes a new Introduction and a new final chapter exposing frightening developments in recent years, including the black market that emerged in chemical and biological weapons following the breakup of the Soviet Union, the acquisition of these weapons by various Third World states, the attempts of countries such as Iraq to build up arsenals, and--particularly and most recently--the use of these weapons in terrorist attacks.

FLA/FAIFE places great importance on its biennial World Report. This carefully researched survey provides the information professions with a regular insight into the state of intellectual freedom worldwide as it relates to libraries. It seems to be the nature of the sector that few out and out causes celebres emerge (although a few could be named). The world of journalism is a constant ferment of dangerous and threatening activity, and book publishing produces difficult cases all the time. Internet problems feature prominently in the press and on the Internet itself. Yet it might be possible to assume that libraries exist in an intellectual freedom safe haven. Unfortunately this is not the case. Libraries also share in the threats to privacy and the restrictions on access that trouble the world of knowledge and communication generally. Possibly because the threats creep up on libraries and are often experienced at second hand (for instance, through the suppression of a book or the blocking of a website), they are easier to ignore. The World Report is intended to open our eyes, alert us to dangers and enable us to fight emerging threats or support colleagues in other parts of the world.

The evidence has become notorious. As our chronological distance from Nazism and its phenomenal core the mass extermination has increased, the latter's historical weight has grown as well. No introduction can do justice to this paradox's many sources, some of which I explore in the chapters that follow. Let us here simply note that the growing centrality of the Holocaust has altered the entire warp and woof of our sense of the passing century. If, well into the 1970s, wide-ranging portraits of the epoch would grant the Holocaust a modest (if any) mention, it now tends to fill the entire picture. The incriminated event has thus become the epoch's marker, its final and inescapable wellspring.

There is an integrity, consistency, rigor and even poetry to all of John Roth’s work. His wrestling with Ethics During and After the Holocaust: In the Shadow of Birkenau is deep and penetrating. It is the mature work of a distinguished scholar who asks all the difficult questions and refuses to accept the simple answers; thus the questions deepen and they are shared with the reader. Roth refuses to accept cheap grace. All issues are handled not just with care but with a sensitivity, and a depth of intellect that is matched by compassion. Roth’s grasp is wide; his understanding profound, his insights glisten, and even the most complex of ideas are expressed with clarity, sensibility and wisdom.

The task of compiling a register of standards and other works of a similar nature in the field of preservation and conservation is daunting, especially when it is intended to be useful in an international context. Over time, the goal of this work is to be comprehensive in the sense of including citations to translations of documents in addition to the original sources, while still being relatively compact, current, and focused.

A total departure from previous writing about television, this book is the first ever to advocate that the medium is not reformable. Its problems are inherent in the technology itself and are so dangerous -- to personal health and sanity, to the environment, and to democratic processes -- that TV ought to be eliminated forever. Weaving personal experiences through meticulous research, the author ranges widely over aspects of television that have rarely been examined and never before joined together, allowing an entirely new, frightening image to emerge. The idea that all technologies are "neutral," benign instruments that can be used well or badly, is thrown open to profound doubt. Speaking of TV reform is, in the words of the author, "as absurd as speaking of the reform of a technology such as guns."

This supplement to the consolidated edition of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) provides full examples in sixteen languages of cataloguing, i.e., the languages used for notes and other non-transcribed parts of the description. The purpose of the supplement is to make it easy to understand the structure of the ISBD and to improve efficiency in the practical application of the consolidated edition of the ISBD. A preliminary edition of the supplement was published online in late 2009. With the revision of the consolidated ISBD in 2011, it was necessary to revise the Examples supplement. As a result, the new ISBD Examples Study Group prepared tentative text for content form and media type in Area 0 for the examples in the previous version of this document. In addition, some of the examples were put into paragraph format instead of tabular format to demonstrate the differences in display.
