The Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups: The 100 Most Terrifying Conspiracies of All Time
The one hundred conspiracy theories of all time-from Harold Wilson as a Soviet agent to Princess Diana's death, from the attacks on 9/11 in the U.S. and on 7/7 London. This volume presents research and plausible cover-up theories for the reader to judge.
How the dome took shape, where it originated, and why it became the outstanding feature of Byzantine and Islamic architecture are questions which have not been satisfactorily answered either by the Orient or Rome controversy or by the misconceptions implicit in the prevailing theories regarding the origin and purpose of the domical shape.
This book provides readers with an understanding of the disparate theories concerning development, their assumptions and the intellectual forces underpinning them. Leading contributors from the field of development studies present the relevant material to analyze and evaluate current debates about development, together with the intellectual tools to judge contemporary arguments concerning developing countries and the ability to relate theories to contemporary policy issues.
