The Encyclopedia of Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories
35
 
 
The Encyclopedia of Conspiracies and Conspiracy TheoriesConspiracies and conspiracy theories, both documented and undocumented, abound in our world. Many of these, even though documented, are only theoretical and not actual fact, and as author Newton states, "some are absurd, transparently ridiculous, or even physically impossible." However, they certainly make for fascinating reading.

This volume's 500-plus entries are arranged alphabetically and encompass people; conspiratorial organizations and movements; nations involved in conspiracies; specific events; and general essays on social, political, or religious movements. The selection of topics represents what Newton considers "significant" conspiracy and conspiracy theories--that is, those that affect large numbers of people or inspire widespread interest. Entries are typically one-half to three and one-half pages in length. Names or terms in small caps within an entry refer to subjects with their own entries. The volume contains more than 80 black-and-white photographs. The 200 or so listings in the bibliography are limited to sources published or translated in the English language.

Folks, be sure of it: Englishtips rule the world :D (this is why there is no entry about it in the Encyclopedia, deep cover, ye see :D ) - stovokor

Indonesia: A Global Studies Handbook
15
 
 
Indonesia: A Global Studies Handbook A one-stop source for essential information on the history, geography, politics, religion, economy, and culture of the fourth most populous country in the world. It's the "little giant" of Southeast Asia, with beautiful temples, breathtaking scenery, and a rich culture. But it's also a widely dispersed island-nation with grinding poverty, endemic corruption, bloody secessionist movements, and growing Islamic militancy. Indonesia examines pre-colonial periods of the country's development, as well as its independence movement.
