NBR Q&A on Sustaining Rebalancing in an Era of Fiscal Restraint
***********
From: Tracy Timmons-Gray [ttimmonsgray@nbr.org]

NBR just released a new Q&A with Thomas G. Mahnken (U.S. Naval War
College) that explores how the current debate over U.S. defense spending
may affect the government's "rebalancing" towards Asia. A link to the
full interview and a summary are below:

"Sustaining Rebalancing in an Era of Fiscal Restraint"

Q&A with Thomas G. Mahnken, U.S. Naval War College

Link: http://m.nbr.org/OEcOqs


SUMMARY

In January 2012 the United States announced that it would commence a
strategy of "rebalancing" toward the Asia-Pacific, in light of the
growing geopolitical importance of the region. However, this ambitious
plan comes at a time when the United States finds itself facing severe
financial constraints. In addition to previously announced cuts, the
Department of Defense faces the challenge of implementing additional
cuts required under the 2011 Budget Control Act (sequestration) for a
total of approximately $950 billion in cuts over the next ten years.

NBR asked Thomas G. Mahnken (U.S. Naval War College) about the
prospects of effectively executing and sustaining the U.S. rebalance
during a time of fiscal restraint.

Read the full interview for insights on the following questions:

- What key defense programs, platforms, and weapons systems will the
U.S. need to continue to develop in order to execute a strategic
rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific?

- How do U.S. allies in Asia view the current debate over U.S. defense
spending?

- How will the debate over defense spending and cuts play out in the
2012 U.S. presidential election? Read Now: Sustaining Rebalancing in an
Era of Fiscal Restraint

Member self-introduction; interest in Burma's nats
**********
From: Sally Bamford [sbamford@iprimus.com.au]

Hello all,

My name is Sally Bamford, and I graduated from the Australian National
University last year as an Bachelor of Art History & Curatorship
(Hons.). I first travelled to Burma as an ignorant backpacker in 1995
and since then have been interested in learning more about its art and
history.

At present, I am continuing my research into Burma's nats for a PhD
thesis on their representation in art and material culture, and would be
very appreciative of any information, pictures, stories, contacts and
advice from other list members on this topic. I look forward to hearing
from everyone.

Kind regards
Sally Bamford

Subject: World History (ancient to 1700) books

From: Peter Dykema
Arkansas Tech University
pdykema@atu.edu

Regarding books to supplement a textbook in a world history survey up to
1700, I'm sure others will suggest a few classics. But given your time
crunch, I'm going to suggest you look at some world-history series which
offer short, topical titles.

For example:
Connections: Key Themes in World History (Pearson / Prentice-Hall) has a few
titles on topics such as disease, European expansion, slave trade.
Explorations in World History (McGraw-Hill) now has about 10 published
titles on topics such as oceans, religion, women, the silk roads: all of
these topics are explored "in world history."
Themes in World History (Routledge) probably has over 20 titles in the
series.

All 3 of these series are thematic in approach, so if you wish to address
women/gender, or trade, or disease, or religion, you may find a title that
will work for you.

Another suggestion would be to look at the Bedford Series in History and
Culture published by Bedford/St Martin's. Several titles would work well in
a world history perspective, for example, Victors and Vanquished: Spanish
and Nahua ['Aztec'] Views of the Conquest of Mexico, ed. Stuart Schwartz.

From: Tom Taylor

twtaylor@seattleu.edu

I have recently been appointed to the Gaffney Chair here at Seattle
University. It is a 2-year appointment focused on promoting the Jesuit
identity and mission of the University. I will focus on the theme of Jesuit
Missionaries in Historical and Comparative Perspective. I would like to use
this opportunity to help showcase some of the new and interesting work in
world history on the history of the Jesuits as a global missionary order.
Three years ago when the WHA met in Salem, MA I remember several excellent
panels that focused on different aspects of the Jesuit Missionary history.
I would appreciate it if people on this listserve would let me know of new
works, whether monographs and articles in this field, which I should be
paying attention to. I'd also like to learn about work underway in this
topic that may not have yet made it to print.

From: Pamela McVay
Ursuline College
PMCVAY@ursuline.edu

It's been probably ten years since I last taught the first half of world
history, but here are three primary sources I love working with in
interdisciplinary humanities. I haven't a clue what to use as a secondary
text and would be interested to know what others suggest.

I would only use portions of them. So: Apuleius' _The Golden Ass_ ; Lane's
translation of _Thousand and One Nights_ , and Arthur Waley's abridged
translation of _Journey to the West_ (title, _Monkey: A Folk Tale of China_
in most editions) are nice companion readings. They all are adapted from
extensive prior traditions, have strong comic elements students usually can
respond to, and are mostly presented in episodes that are easily excerpted.

Plus, the cartoon version of the first few chapters of _Journey to the West_
is available in 6 or 7 chunks on youtube, and my students adored it.

The Russians may be disappointed in the end. The Japanese Aerospace
Exploration Agency, Earth Observation Research Center, has data since
the 1980s on the extent of Arctic sea ice, and while the current
coverage is on the low side of the data, it is not really unprecedented
nor is there any indication (to date) that it will not recover. I
recommend visiting the link and viewing the actual data:
