Yetiv tells the interconnected story of oil, globalization, and terrorism. Yetiv asks how Al-Qaeda, a small band of terrorists, became such a real and perceived threat to American and global security, a threat viewed as profound enough to motivate the strongest power in world history to undertake extraordinary actions, including two very costly wars.Yetiv argues that Middle East oil and globalization have combined to augment the real and perceived threat of transnational terrorism. Globalization has allowed terrorists to do things that otherwise would be more difficult and costly: exploit technology, generate fear beyond their capabilities, target vulnerable economic and political nodes, and capitalize on socio-economic dislocation. Meanwhile, Middle East oil has fueled terrorism by helping to bolster oil-rich regimes that terrorists hate, to fund the terrorist infrastructure, and to generate anti-American and anti-Western sentiments about American support for oil-rich regimes and perceived Western designs on Middle East oil. Together, Middle East oil and globalization have combined in various ways to help create Al-Qaeda's real and perceived threat, and that of its affiliates and offshoots. The combined effect has shaped important contours of the Petroleum Triangle and of world affairs.A sweeping analysis of contemporary world politics and American foreign and military policy, The Petroleum Triangle convincingly argues that it is critical to understand the connections among oil, globalization, and terrorism if we seek to comprehend modern global politics. What happens within the Petroleum Triangle will help determine if the death of Osama bin Laden will ultimately cripple Al-Qaeda and its affiliates or be yet another milestone in an ongoing age of terrorism.Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsPetroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsUnited StatesTerrorismEconomic aspectsGlobalizationEconomic aspectsGlobalizationPolitical aspectsElectronic books.Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspects.Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsTerrorismEconomic aspects.GlobalizationEconomic aspects.GlobalizationPolitical aspects.338.2/7282MF 9150rvkYetiv Steven A870714MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457707503321The petroleum triangle2471867UNINA03287nam 2200553 a 450 991046282840332120200520144314.01-61673-242-3(CKB)2670000000368390(EBL)3399701(SSID)ssj0001105065(PQKBManifestationID)11590513(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001105065(PQKBWorkID)11099442(PQKB)10695267(MiAaPQ)EBC3399701(Au-PeEL)EBL3399701(CaPaEBR)ebr10715610(CaONFJC)MIL528585(OCoLC)923350630(EXLCZ)99267000000036839020080509d2009 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe nuclear express[electronic resource] a political history of the bomb and its proliferation /Thomas C.

The entire perioperative spectrum of care is addressed in chapters written by an international panel of experts in the field. Initial sections discuss preoperative assessment and intervention, fluid management, and perioperative pain control. Subsequent chapters focus on the specific aspects of operative approach and technique, including minimally invasive surgery, fluid management, parenchymal transection, and use of drains, tubes and stents. The text concludes with chapters on perioperative pain control, management of complications as well as the role of enhanced recovery pathways. A brief review of the existing literature addressing the particular topic follows in each section. Extensive illustrations, figures, and tables provide reinforcement to the educational content.
