Don't Let the Goats Eat the Loquat Trees

The Adventures of an American Surgeon in Nepal

by Thomas Hale ...

Thomas Hale writes about being a missionary surgeon in the same delightful way James Herriot writes about being a country veterinarian. Dr. Hale's incredible experience in tiny, mountainous Nepal are surpassed only by his talent for telling about them. Imagine, for example, the culture shock of moving to a Hindu country under such rigid religious control that it is not only illegal to proselytize, ... Read more

Captain Hale is charged with protecting Caribbean trade from pirate craft that refuse the battles the navy is prepared to fight.A frigate guarding a convoy cannot pursue every suspicious sail. A fast sloop can test the escort line, escape across shoal water, and recover through hidden coastal contacts before the patrol can rebuild a reliable picture.

A Blueprint for Formal Proofs

Series Book 400 - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
The 400-year-old Kepler conjecture asserts that no packing of congruent balls in three dimensions can have a density exceeding the familiar pyramid-shaped cannonball arrangement. In this book, a new proof of the conjecture is presented that makes it accessible for the first time to a broad mathematical audience. The book also presents solutions to other previously unresolved conjectures in ... Read more

It is equally common to note the failures of the international institutions the world relies on to address such challenges.

The Politics of Transnational Commercial Disputes

by Thomas Hale ...

We could not have a global economy without a system to resolve commercial disputes across borders, but the international regime that performs this key role bears little resemblance to other institutions underpinning the global economy. A hybrid of private arbitral institutions, international treaties, and domestic laws and courts, the regime for commercial dispute resolution shows that effective ... Read more

Why Global Cooperation is Failing when We Need It Most

by Thomas Hale, Kevin Young, David Held ...

The issues that increasingly dominate the 21st century cannot be solved by any single country acting alone, no matter how powerful. To manage the global economy, prevent runaway environmental destruction, reign in nuclear proliferation, or confront other global challenges, we must cooperate. But at the same time, our tools for global policymaking - chiefly state-to-state negotiations over treaties ... Read more
