This book deals with the fascinating set of diseases in which the immune system turns traitor and begins to attack the body. The attack may take many forms, culminating in serious skin disease, or disorders affecting the joints, heart, lungs, kidneys, and central nervous system, to name only a few of the possibilities. While the severity of the diseases varies considerably, as many as one in twenty people develop an autoimmune disease at some point during their lifetime. Friendly Fire is the first book to explain the nature of these diseases for a general audience. For each of these conditions, the authors provide a short historical guide, followed by a comprehensive description of the components of the normally functioning immune system. The authors explain how autoimmune diseases develop and how they interact to cause potentially lethal conditions. They highlight the enormous diversity of self-destructive diseases along with current types of treatment and the exciting range of recent ideas about future therapy.

How have the central issues in political theory-the ends of politics, the location and exercise of political power, and challenges to authority-been tackled by various thinkers over the course of history? By emphasizing chronology and context, John Morrow provides an organizationally innovative introduction to political thinkers and themes. The book balances a coherent account of theoretical traditions with a grounded awareness of the social and political currents which produced them. Morrow combines detailed coverage of the great figures of political thought, such as Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Marx, and Mill with important but lesser known names such as Bodin, Grotius, Maurras, Bartolus, Paley, Godwin, and Bakunin. Spanning ancient times to the twentieth century and providing timelines and charts to organize the material, The History of Political Thought is an exceptionally lucid and integrated introduction to the ways in which Western thinkers have come to grips with the problems and paradoxes of political life.

The Great War

The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front. By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa. From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political.
