Book Description
In a lucid, colorful account, Stanley Meisler brings alive the personalities and events of the first fifty years of the United Nations. It is a story filled with action and heartbreak. "Stanley Meisler tells the story of the United Nations, its promise and its problems, with clarity and authority. He brings to life the history of the world organization and a half-century of America's hopes for and frustration with world government . . . . You will learn why China is almost by chance one of five permanent members on the Security Council, how the Council's veto power was adopted at Stalin's demand, why Adlai Stevenson left his post as U.S. ambassador in lonely despair, how Kurt Waldheim hid his past to become Secretary General, how the Bush administration maneuvered the United Nations into supporting Operation Desert Storm, and much, much more. This is the definitive account of the United Nations for a general audience, told by a master." -- Jim Hoagland, chief foreign correspondent, The Washington Post

Underrated.......2007-03-12
I cannot recommend this book enough. Get it before it disappears from the world! (It was written in 1995)
It is an easy, quick read filled with interesting quirks and quotes from the most important figures in recent history.
It provides a condensed history of crisis, war, leaders and resolutions from 1945 to 1995.
Definitely worth reading, it's the most entertaining way i have come across of learning 50 years of dynamic history.
An interesting book.......2006-08-03
Stanley Meisler's fascinating book takes us through the history of the United Nations' first fifty years. And the focus is on the UN's incredible series of disasters in international policy. We see nothing about, say, Planned Parenthood or the elimination of smallpox. But we do see U.N. involvement in one war after another.
We see the U.N. mess up as early as 1946, with Iran. Next we see the U.N. fail to defend Israel in 1948 when it was attacked by Arabs. In addition, we see how the United States managed to have its President espouse one policy (recognition of Israel) while its State Department and United Nations representative did the opposite! And we see how a U.N. mediator, Count Bernadotte, did a truly terrible job that would probably have been even worse had be not been assassinated.
The next section is about the Korean War. Even here, the UN failed to accomplish much. And then we read about Suez and Hungary in 1956. Meisler admits that the Soviet suppression of the Hungarians in 1956 "mocked the power of the U.N." I agree. But he then boasts that "settlement of the Suez crisis was one of the most spectacular single achievements of the U.N. during its first fifty years." I disagree about this, and I encourage folks to read what Arthur Herman has said about Suez this year. Herman says that Suez "destroyed the United Nations." He adds "instead of teaching Nasser and his fellow dictators that breaking international law does not pay, Suez taught them that every transgression will be forgotten and forgiven, especially if oil is at stake." This "ushered in a new era of international gangsterism" and "destroyed the moral authority of the world community." I agree with Herman here. And I think that Meisler ought to have mentioned Egypt's closing of the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping in 1956, which was significant both then and in 1967.
After this, we see further United Nations misadventures: in the Congo, with the Cuban missile crisis, with Viet Nam, and then the Six Day War, in which the UN peacekeeping force pulled out of the Sinai at once, as soon as it was actually needed. Even Meisler admits that the Six Day War dealt the U.N. a "devastating blow."
After that, Kurt Waldheim, a former member of a cavalry unit of the Sturmabteilung (also known as the Storm Troopers, S.A., or Brownshirts) became the secretary-general of the United Nations. And perhaps it should be no surprise that Yasser Arafat actually was permitted to address the U.N. in 1974 (a major turning point for the U.N. that Meisler does not even mention in this book). Meisler does discuss the infamous "Zionism Is Racism" resolution of 1975, which was finally repealed in 1991. And he does admit that this resolution hurt the U.N. badly (he shows that before this, U.S. public opinion polls generally showed support for the idea that the U.S. should cooperate fully with the U.N. at over 60%, but that after this, that support immediately went below 50%). Nevertheless, I think he still manages to underestimate the significance of this absurd resolution. I think the appointment by Caligula of a horse to the Roman Senate has finally been overshadowed by this gratuitous and cheap act of wickedness.
If a person is willing to commit a disgraceful act of violence in public to steal ten dollars, we'll all realize that this person would be even more eager to do such a thing to steal ten thousand dollars, ten million dollars, or ten billion dollars. I think that the "Zionism Is Racism" resolution is an example of the U.N. being willing to disgrace itself for practically nothing. The fact that it could do such a thing convinces me that it is capable of doing literally anything, no matter how wicked, should it get the opportunity. And that convinces me that the U.N. is dangerous and counterproductive. It also makes me very suspicious of global organizations in general. Some folks say that such organizations will eventually wind up supporting tyranny, with the worst available people rising to the top. And after witnessing the U.N. and its first fifty years, I have to agree.
Meisler does mention the hijacking of the U.N. 1975 Conference on Women by anti-Zionists. But he does not follow this up by explaining the extent to which the General Assembly became obsessed with Israel, passing one absurd resolution against it after another and confirming that the General Assembly had been reduced to an opponent of human rights and a propaganda arm of a terrorist organization.
Oh, there's more in this book, including material about Iraq, Rwanda, and Bosnia. But it is interesting to see that the U.N. has not been helpful in any of these situations. And that brings us to Meisler's conclusions. He quotes Arthur Goldberg as saying that "if the U.N. were junked, we'd have to recreate it tomorrow." I surely do not believe that. I think if one is cured of a serious illness today, the last thing one would want or need to do is fall prey to it tomorrow. And his final words in this book are "the United Nations has served the world nobly and well for fifty years." Well, he wrote these words over ten years ago. But I very strongly disagree with them. I think the U.N. has done far worse than pretty much anyone could have predicted back in 1945. And my advice is simple: outlaw the U.N. and make sure we never try to establish anything like it again.
This book is interesting and informative, so I'm giving it three stars. But I think it vastly overestimates the value of the United Nations.
a good introduction.......2003-01-31
Meisler writes in an engaging style and with an eye for the telling detail. He often manages to convey the crux of a complex situation in relatively few words. Given the length of the book, it is to be expected that the discussion is thin in places, and, of course, some fairly important elements of UN history are omitted.
I would add that the chapter on the Suez crisis is marred by a glaring lacuna: Meisler fails to mention that along with nationalizing the Suez Canal, Nasser closed off the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping. As a result of this omission, Israel's motivations for going along with Anglo-French adventure are left wholly unexplained. (Indeed, the question of what might be in it for Israel was never so much as raised.) Furthermore, when it comes to the war of June 1967, the full significance of Nasser's closing of the Strait on that occasion--i.e. his re-closing in violation of previous agreements--is lost.
Good for "UN 101", but a little thin.......2002-07-26
Meisler has done an excellent job in introducing the UN to the general public with a format and language that makes it an entertaining and easy read. The most intense crises that the UN faced since its creation after WWII are all here, as are some of the greater personalities like Ralph Bunche and Dag Hammarskjold.
However, the book only briefly discusses the creation of the outlying organizations of the UN family - like UNESCO, UNICEF, and FAO. I find this to be a flaw due to the fact that these are the organizations that the UN is mostly associated with today - and not the major crises of the Cold War and beyond.
But all in all Meisler has done a magnificent job that will deepen your understanding of the UN's origins, mission, potentials, and short-comings.
Essential Reading For Those Interested In World Politics.......2001-01-14
This book is a gem in terms of the analysis it presents. Its concise easy to read and broken in to parts which allows the reader to examine major events involving the united nations during the last 50 years. It of course deals with the establishment of the UN in 1945 and quickly moves to its first major test in 1948, the construction of a Palestinian settlement involving the Ralph Bunche who following his efforts received the noble peace prise. The reader gets enough information to work out exactly the main players and positions relating to many of the crisis which have faced the organisation since 1945.
The Suez crisis of 1956 and the role of the Dag Hammershold receive particular attention. It explained the establishment of the first peace keeping force to be set up with a mandate agreed by the parties to the conflict. Later under the direction of Secretary General Uthant this force was withdrawn under pressure from the Egyptian Government leading ultimately to the Six-Day war of 1967. This and many other issues like it are examined with a critical eye. The book is not shy on pointing out the failures of the organisation however in doing this one is challenged to consider whether or not we could have afforded to live the last half century without some form of internationally agreed political/security organisation.

From the supplier: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was meant to insure the dignity and material well-being of all people, but it is threatened in the 1990s by multiculturalism and advocates of abortion, euthanasia, eugenics, and population control. Political tensions of the Cold War prevented realization of the UDHR goals throughout the world, but the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 created a new opportunity for Eastern Europe to adopt the UN objectives. The UDHR was adopted by the UN on Dec 10, 1948.

A great book about Nova Scotia's Little River tolling retrievers which are bred to ATTRACT as well as retrieve ducks. Lots of background stories about the breeders and owners of these dogs.
A prize!.......1999-01-17
This story of dogs bred to attract ducks is more than entertaining. Gail MacMillan takes the reader back from the show dogs, the registered Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, back to the Little River Duck Dogs, and to their owners who have, for centuries now, kept these beautiful dogs. Toller, retriever, and family pet, the Little River Duck Dog is a prize and so is the book by Gail MacMillan.
Delightful stories about the Little River Dog and its owners.......1999-01-06
Gail MacMillan, has, with a great deal of sensivity brought together stories about the Little River Duck Dog (from Nova Scotia) and the people who have bred them over the years. Archival photos show the delightful dog, their owners, and the the love that takes place......

Birding Sites of Nova Scotia.......2006-07-17
This book contains a wealth of information. It is a little different from the birding guides I have previously used in that it is not a "go here, see this" format. However, the author is very thorough and knowledgeable. Each county is well covered. I just got back from Nova Scotia and it was my "bible".

Book Description
Well-known naturalist and artist Linda Johns shares her woodland home with a menagerie of injured wild birds -- starlings, blue jays, pigeons, baby woodpeckers, a rose-breasted grosbeak, a semi-palmated sandpiper, and even a gannet. She and her "saner half," Mack, have gone so far as to transform their living room into an indoor forest, complete with two dead trees providing a variety of perches and a screened porch making do as a practise flyway. Johns nurses her feathered convalescents day and night, helping them to drink and bathe and hunt, and gaining deep insights into their highly individual personalities. Most she attempts to release back into the wild but a few, inevitably, move in to stay. Birds of a Feather: Tales of a Wild Bird Haven is a warm and funny account of eight months -- from May to December -- in the life of this caring wildlife rescuer. Fans of JohnsÂ's earlier wildlife books will relish her humorous descriptions of the antics of such irresistible characters as Blossom, the media-savvy chicken, and the goats Mower and Munch. Enhanced by line drawings of her avian housemates, this delightful collection of anecdotes in the tradition of James Herriot and Farley Mowat celebrates some of NatureÂ's smallest and most awe-inspiring miracles.
Customer Reviews:
Heartwarming and highly recommended for bird lovers especially.......2005-09-05
Black-and-white photographs illustrate Birds Of A Feather: Tales Of A Wild Bird Haven, which tells true-life stories of award-winning author Linda Johns' experiences rehabilitating wild birds. From raising a chick to its first feathers to taking in a badly injured mother duck and her children to learning how to write with a pigeon on one's arm, Birds Of A Feather gives an unabashed look at the ups, downs, special joys and sad tragedies of caring for feathered friends in need day in and day out. Heartwarming and highly recommended for bird lovers especially.
Book Description
A successful painter and sculptor living in a woodland studio, Linda Johns has become widely known as the "Bird Lady" for her work in rescuing and caring for birds and other wildlife. She began by taking in the occasional wounded or orphaned bird that came her way; today she shares her home with an ever-shifting population of birds and other creatures, some of whom have moved in to stay.
In A Feathered Family, Johns writes lyrically about the natural world around her studio. Enhanced by the author's drawings of many of her avian housemates, this charming book is a must-read for all wildlife lovers.
Customer Reviews:
Mostly loved it........2007-03-21
One of my favorite genres of books these days includes the memoirs of people who share their lives with formerly-wild animals. I've got a Listmania list going, in fact, and I'll be including this book on that list just as soon as I finish this review.
This book definitely rates among the better books of that genre. The author shares her home with a variety of birds, including pigeons, roosters, a quail, and many others. She is known in her area for her knowledge of wild birds and their illnesses, so she frequently takes in and tends to injured birds brought by neighbors.
Her stories of these birds, both the type that come to her for brief convalescence, as well as those who live with her permanently, are very charming and sweet. The stories are made more fun by the lovely illustrations that accompany the stories, and which were rendered by the author herself. You'll be in love with Bubble and Squeak and Basho right away, no doubt.
I suppose I must admit I did not especially care for the passages where the author waxes philosophical. This genre of memoir seems almost of necessity to include alternating chapters of this sort, and I almost invariably find them tedious and I always find them meandering. So I wind up skimming, as I did here.
Also, the author's love affair with adverbs was distracting. Things never just happened, they happened "gingerly" or "insistently". Which is fine but if it happens so much that I start noticing it, then it's too much.
Having said all that, this author has some chops and spins a lovely yarn.
Entertaining reading for all bird and wildlife enthusiasts.......2001-03-14
Linda Jones is an accomplished painter and sculptor who lives in a woodland studio and became widely known as the "Bird Lady" because of her work in rescuing and caring for birds and other wildlife. She began by tending the occasional wounded or orphaned bird that came her way and today shares her home with an ever-shifting population of birds and other creatures -- some of whom having moved in to stay! In A Feathered Family: Nature Notes From A Woodland Studio, Linda Johns writes lyrically and engagingly about the natural world around her studio and the feathered characters who visit her and who share her home. With a natural talent for storytelling, Johns regales the reader with funny, affectionate stories enhanced with her drawings of avian house mates. A Feathered Family is enthusiastically recommended and entertaining reading for all bird and wildlife enthusiasts.
I want this woman's life.......2001-01-24
I started reading this book for my job, which means I didn't have any expectations. Boy, was I in for a surprise. Linda Johns' writing is a perfect winter read since her lyrical prose is like a warm blanket. She invites you into her world of rural simplicity without any presumptions and introduces you to her feathered family of roosters, pigeons, quails, robins, blue jays and who ever else happens to fly in and out of those pages. Yet Johns doesn't concentrate solely on the birds in her life, she also speaks of the harmonious connection she has with the lanscape around her and the significance of time and seasons. Her life and writing is like a magical dream and she has the rare talent on offering that feeling to her readers. I know this book is great since I would rather sit with a cup of hot apple cider and read than watch any prime-time television shows.

Book Description
A concise full-colour guide to the common and not-so-common birds that can be seen across Nova Scotia
Birdwatching expeditions are becoming more and more popular and Nova Scotia is an internationally recognized destination for birding opportunities.
This book introduces 200 of the top species found all around the province, at the seashore, in the Cape Breton Highlands, the city parks and around the thousands of pristine lakes in the province.
Whether observing spectacular hawks or eagles in the wild or seabirds over the ocean, listening for warblers in the forest, or the first spring birds at the feeder, this guide is designed to allow for quick and easy identification. Original full-colour illustrations by Jeffrey Domm show prominent features that birdwatching enthusiasts can use to identify a species. Text and graphic keys give helpful tips for observing. They also show habitat preference egg (for in-province breeding species) months the bird can be seen in the area preferred bird feeder type.
The birding hotspot section (with an accompanying map) shows 46 locations across the province where good birdwatching is assured.
The New Formac Pocketguide to Nova Scotia Birds is a worthy successor to Jeff Domm's very popular Pocketguide to Nova Scotia Birds. It is a handy reference for beginners and a useful local guide for practised birders.
Book Description

Whether observing spectacular hawks or eagles in the wild or looking at warblers and thrushes at the feeder, the Pocketguide helps identify many of the common--and less common--birds found in the province. There are original full-colour illustrations by Jeffrey Domm painted for this book, along with details of nesting sites, egg size and colour, feeder preferences and size.
The book features full-colour illustrations, an observation calendar, and keys to identifying characteristics of each bird--size, foot type, flight characteristics, feeding technique, and egg type, if breeding in Nova Scotia.
The Pocketguide to Nova Scotia Birds is a handy reference for beginners and practised birders, and includes 25 suggested locations around the province where good birdwatching is assured.

Still an essential reference for Maritime birders.......2005-06-20
A very good provincial work with status accounts for each of the province's species, enlivened by notes and anecdotes collected by the late Dr. Robie Tufts during his 90+ years of observing birds in N. S. Updated by Dr. Ian McLaren, one of the current deans of N. S. birders, and others. The colour illustrations by Roger Peterson and John Crosby, and line drawings by John Dick are still delightful.
