A couple of book reviews.
Pakistan: The Eye of the Storm
By Owen Bennett Jones
Pakistan--with its political instability, pressing economic and
social
problems, access to nuclear weapons, and proximity to
Afghanistan--stands at
the very center of global attention. Can General Musharraf,
Pakistan's
military ruler, control the forces that helped create the
Taliban in
Afghanistan? In this fascinating book, correspondent Bennett
Jones looks at
Pakistan's turbulent past, recounts its recent history, and
assesses its
future options.

Science and Colonial Expansion
By Lucile H. Brockway
This widely acclaimed book analyzes the political effects of
scientific
research as exemplified by one field, economic botany, during
one epoch, the
nineteenth century, when Great Britain was the world's most
powerful nation.
Lucile Brockway examines how the British botanic garden network
developed
and transferred economically important plants to different parts
of the
world to promote the prosperity of the Empire.
