About this product
Product Information
Covers the significant persons, places, agencies, organizations, conferences, conventions, treaties, and acts that have influenced arms control and disarmament from the beginnings of recorded western history to present times. The introductory essay reviews where arms control has come from and where it is heading during this period of global transition, as well as how the definitions of the terms and the conduct of the field have developed, and why arms control and disarmament remain both very much alive and relevant, today and into the future. A list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, and a comprehensive bibliography complement the dictionary entries of this unique reference.

In addition to the 1,000-plus dictionary entries, the text features a chronological timeline from 1100 B.C. to 2004, a brief introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography, organized thematically into sections on history and negotiations, institutions, regional perspectives, war prevention, reducing the consequences of war, reducing the costs of war preparation, journals and internet websites.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
