This provocative and timely work examines various scenarios in which the deployment of nuclear weapons could occur, the probable consequences of such an escalation, the likely world reactions, and the plausible policy ramifications. Rather than projecting the physical damage that would result from nuclear attacks, George H. Quester offers an exploration of the political, psychological, and social aftermath of nuclear conflict. The prospect of nuclear attack-sixty years after atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki-is difficult to confront on many levels. We may avoid the discussion for emotional reasons, for fear of generating a self-confirming hypothesis, or simply because of the general nuclear taboo. But there are also self-denying propositions to be harnessed here: if the world gives some advance thought to how nuclear weapons might be used again, such attacks may be headed off. If the world avoids nuclear weapons use until the year 2045, it will be able to celebrate one hundred years of nuclear concord. Quester suggests that this may be achieved through the careful consideration of possible nuclear deployment scenarios and their consequences. In this insightful analysis, he provides a starting point for informed and focused reflection and preparation.

My pets love it.
Size: 23" x 23", Color: Beige, Size: 23" x 23", Color: Beige
I bought this as a replacement to another donut bed that I had had for my dog. He is a 20 pound Jack Russell Terrier. This bed is in his crate. He loves his bed. Not only does the dog, but I also have several cats and during the day when Riggs is loose my cats will go in his dog crate and sleep in the bed. I have had the bed for almost a year now and it’s holding up great. Actually over the weekend I did have to wash it because it looks like he got sick and spit up in his crate. Came out of the washer and dryer great.

It’s a two piece and it’s pretty stiff. The dogs like it though.

Cute and Sturdy Cat Scratcher
Size: Large - 27" H
Very nice scratcher that is reasonably priced. Was very easy to put together...literally took me less than 5 minutes. The base is nicely weighted, so no worries about my x-large kitties knocking it over. Well made, study and it's so cute. It's a nice size also. My cats love it. Happy I bought this item and a bargain at the price I paid!
