Rivers of Blood speech
Enoch Powell's April 20, 1968 address to the General Meeting of the West Midlands Area Conservative Political Centre (commonly called "Rivers of Blood") was a speech criticising Commonwealth immigration, and anti-discrimination legislation that had been proposed in the United Kingdom. Powell (1912–1998) was the Conservative Member of Parliament for Wolverhampton South West. Though Powell referred to the speech as "the Birmingham speech", it is otherwise known as the "Rivers of Blood" speech, a title derived from its allusion to a line from Virgil's Aeneid.[1] Although the phrase "rivers of blood" does not appear in the speech, the name alludes to the line, "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.'"
The speech caused a political storm, making Powell one of the most talked about, though divisive, politicians in the country, and leading to his controversial dismissal from the Shadow Cabinet by Conservative party leader Edward Heath.[2] According to most accounts, the popularity of Powell's perspective on race may have played a decisive contributory factor in the Conservatives' surprise victory in the 1970 general election, and he became one of the most persistent rebels opposing the subsequent Heath government.[2]
Powell made the speech on 20 April 1968 in Birmingham, to a meeting of the Conservative Political Centre. The Labour government's Race Relations Bill 1968 was to have its second reading the following Tuesday, and the Conservative Opposition had tabled an amendment significantly weakening its provisions.[3] The Bill was a successor to the Race Relations Act 1965.
The Birmingham-based television company ATV saw an advance copy of the speech on the Saturday morning, and its news editor ordered a television crew to go to the venue, where they filmed sections of the speech. Earlier in the week, Powell said to his friend Clement Jones, who was a journalist at the Wolverhampton Express & Star, "I'm going to make a speech at the weekend and it's going to go up 'fizz' like a rocket; but whereas all rockets fall to the earth, this one is going to stay up."
The speech[edit]
Powell recounted a conversation with one of his constituents, a middle-aged working man, a few weeks earlier. Powell said that the man told him: "If I had the money to go, I wouldn't stay in this country… I have three children, all of them been through grammar school and two of them married now, with family. I shan't be satisfied till I have seen them all settled overseas." The man finished by saying to Powell: "In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man."[4] Powell went on:
" | Here is a decent, ordinary fellow-Englishman, who in broad daylight in my own town says to me, his Member of Parliament, that the country will not be worth living in for his children. I simply do not have the right to shrug my shoulders and think about something else. What he is saying, thousands and hundreds of thousands are saying and thinking – not throughout Great Britain, perhaps, but in the areas that are already undergoing the total transformation to which there is no parallel in a thousand years of English history.[4] | " |
Powell went on to say:
" | We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependants, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant descended population. It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit unmarried persons to immigrate for the purpose of founding a family with spouses and fiancées whom they have never seen.[5] | " |
Powell quoted a letter he received from a woman in Northumberland, about an elderly woman living in a Wolverhampton street where she was the only white resident. The elderly woman had lost her husband and her two sons in World War II and had rented out the rooms in her house. Once immigrants had moved into the street she was living in, her white lodgers left. Two black men had knocked on her door at 7 am to use her telephone to call their employers, but she refused, as she would have done to any other stranger knocking at her door at such an hour, and was subsequently verbally abused. She had asked her local authority for a rates reduction, but was told by a council officer to let out the rooms of her house. When the woman said the only tenants would be black, the council officer replied: "Racial prejudice won't get you anywhere in this country."
He advocated voluntary re-emigration by "generous grants and assistance" and he claimed that immigrants had asked him whether it was possible. Powell said that all citizens should be equal before the law, and that:
" | This does not mean that the immigrant and his descendants should be elevated into a privileged or special class or that the citizen should be denied his right to discriminate in the management of his own affairs between one fellow-citizen and another or that he should be subjected to an inquisition as to his reasons and motives for behaving in one lawful manner rather than another.[6] | " |
He argued that journalists who urged the government to pass anti-discrimination laws were "of the same kidney and sometimes on the same newspapers which year after year in the 1930s tried to blind this country to the rising peril which confronted it." Powell said that such legislation would be used to discriminate against the indigenous population and that it would be like "throwing a match on to gunpowder."[6] Powell described what he thought the position of the indigenous population would be:
" | For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.[7] | " |
Powell argued that although "many thousands" of immigrants wanted to integrate, he contended that the majority did not, and that some had vested interests in fostering racial and religious differences "with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population".[8] Powell's peroration of the speech gave rise to its popular title. He quotes the Sibyl's prophecy in the epic poem Aeneid, 6, 86–87, of "wars, terrible wars, / and the Tiber foaming with much blood."
" | As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.[9] | " |
According to C. Howard Wheeldon, who was present at the meeting in which Powell gave the speech, "it is fascinating to note what little hostility emerged from the audience. To the best of my memory, only one person voiced any sign of annoyance."[10] The day after the speech Powell went to Sunday Communion at his local church and when he emerged there was a crowd of journalists and a local plasterer (Sidney Miller) said to Powell: "Well done, sir! It needed to be said."[11] Powell asked the assembled journalists: "Have I really caused such a furore?" At midday Powell went on the BBC's World This Weekend to defend his speech and he appeared later that day on ITN news.
The Labour MP Edward Leadbitter said he would refer the speech to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe spoke of a prima facie case against Powell for incitement. Lady Gaitskell called the speech "cowardly" and the cricketer Sir Learie Constantine condemned it.[12]
The leading Conservatives in the Shadow Cabinet were outraged by the speech. Iain Macleod, Edward Boyle, Quintin Hogg and Robert Carr all threatened to resign from the front bench unless Powell was sacked. Margaret Thatcher thought that some of Powell's speech was "strong meat",[13] and said to Heath when he telephoned her to inform her Powell was to be sacked: "I really thought that it was better to let things cool down for the present rather than heighten the crisis". The Conservative leader, Edward Heath, sacked Powell from his post as Shadow Defence Secretary, telling him on the telephone that Sunday evening (it was the last conversation they would have). Heath said of the speech in public that it was "racialist in tone and liable to exacerbate racial tensions". Conservative MPs on the right of the party—Duncan Sandys, Gerald Nabarro, Teddy Taylor—spoke against Powell's sacking.[14] On 22 April 1968, Heath went on Panorama, telling Robin Day: "I dismissed Mr Powell because I believed his speech was inflammatory and liable to damage race relations. I am determined to do everything I can to prevent racial problems developing into civil strife… I don't believe the great majority of the British people share Mr Powell's way of putting his views in his speech."[15]
The Times newspaper declared it "an evil speech", stating "This is the first time that a serious British politician has appealed to racial hatred in this direct way in our postwar history."[16] The Times went on to record incidents of racial attacks in the immediate aftermath of Powell's speech. One such incident, reported under the headline "Coloured family attacked", took place on 30 April 1968 in Wolverhampton itself: it involved a slashing incident with 14 white youths chanting "Powell" and "Why don't you go back to your own country?" at patrons of a West Indian christening party. One of the West Indians who was cut, Wade Crooks of Lower Villiers Street, was the child's grandfather. He had to have eight stitches over his left eye. He was reported as saying, "I have been here since 1955 and nothing like this has happened before. I am shattered."[17] An opinion poll commissioned by the BBC television programme Panorama in December 1968 found that 8 per cent of immigrants believed that they had been treated worse by white people since Powell's speech, 38 per cent would like to return to their country of origin if offered financial help, and 47 per cent supported immigration control, with 30 per cent opposed.[18]
On 23 April 1968, the Race Relations Bill had its second reading in the House of Commons.[3] Many MPs referred or alluded to Powell's speech. For Labour, Paul Rose, Maurice Orbach, Reginald Paget, Dingle Foot, Ivor Richard, and David Ennals were all critical.[3] Among the Conservatives, Quintin Hogg and Nigel Fisher were critical, while Hugh Fraser, Ronald Bell, Dudley Smith, and Harold Gurden were sympathetic.[3] Powell was present for the debate but did not speak.[3]
Earlier that day, 1,000 London dockers had gone on strike in protest at Powell's sacking and marched from the East End to the Palace of Westminster carrying placards saying "Don't knock Enoch" and "Back Britain, not Black Britain". 300 of them went into the Palace, 100 to lobby the MP for Stepney, Peter Shore, and 200 to lobby the MP for Poplar, Ian Mikardo. Shore and Mikardo were shouted down and some dockers kicked Mikardo. Lady Gaitskell shouted: "You will have your remedy at the next election." The dockers replied: "We won't forget."[19] The organiser of the strike, Harry Pearman, headed a delegation to meet Powell and said after: "I have just met Enoch Powell and it made me feel proud to be an Englishman. He told me that he felt that if this matter was swept under the rug he would lift the rug and do the same again. We are representatives of the working man. We are not racialists."[20]
On 24 April 600 dockers at St Katharine's Docks voted to strike and numerous smaller factories across the country followed. 600 Smithfield meat porters struck and marched to Westminster and handed Powell a 92-page petition supporting him. Powell advised against strike action and asked them to write to Harold Wilson, Heath or their MP. However, strikes continued, reaching Tilbury by 25 April and he allegedly received his 30,000th letter supporting him, with 30 protesting against his speech. By 27 April, 4,500 dockers were on strike. On 28 April, 1,500 people marched to Downing Street chanting "Arrest Enoch Powell".[21] Powell claimed to have received 43,000 letters and 700 telegrams supporting him by early May, with 800 letters and four telegrams against.[22] On 2 May, the Attorney-General, Sir Elwyn Jones, announced he would not prosecute Powell after consulting the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Whilst a section of the white population appeared to warm to Powell over the speech, the author Mike Phillips recalls that it legitimised hostility, and even violence, towards black Britons like himself.[23]
The Gallup Organization took an opinion poll at the end of April and found that 74 per cent agreed with what Powell had said in his speech; 15 per cent disagreed. 69 per cent felt Heath was wrong to sack Powell and 20 per cent believed Heath was right. Before his speech Powell was favoured to replace Heath as Conservative leader by 1 per cent, with Reginald Maudling favoured by 20 per cent; after his speech 24 per cent favoured Powell and 18 per cent Maudling. 83 per cent now felt immigration should be restricted (75 per cent before the speech) and 65 per cent favoured anti-discrimination legislation.[24]
Powell defended his speech on 4 May through an interview for the Birmingham Post: "What I would take 'racialist' to mean is a person who believes in the inherent inferiority of one race of mankind to another, and who acts and speaks in that belief. So the answer to the question of whether I am a racialist is 'no'—unless, perhaps, it is to be a racialist in reverse. I regard many of the peoples in India as being superior in many respects—intellectually, for example, and in other respects—to Europeans. Perhaps that is over-correcting."[25]
Powell was mentioned in early versions of the song "Get Back" by the Beatles.[26][27]
In November 2010, the actor and comedian Sanjeev Bhaskar recalled the fear which the speech instilled in Britons of Indian origin: "At the end of the 1960s, Enoch Powell was quite a frightening figure to us. He was the one person who represented an enforced ticket out, so we always had suitcases that were ready and packed. My parents held the notion that we may have to leave."[28]
In his book The British Dream, David Goodhart claims that Powell's speech in effect "put back by more than a generation a robust debate about the successes and failures of immigration".[29]
" | "Just when a discussion should have been starting about integration, racial justice, and distinguishing the reasonable from the racist complaints of the white people whose communities were being transformed, he polarised the argument and closed it down."[29] | " |
Identity of the woman mentioned in the speech[edit]
After Powell delivered the speech, there were attempts to locate the Wolverhampton constituent whom Powell described as being victimised by non-white residents. Despite combing the electoral register and other sources, the editor of the local Wolverhampton newspaper the Express & Star, Clem Jones (a close friend of Powell who broke off relations with him over the controversy) failed to identify the woman.[30]
Shortly after Powell's death, Kenneth Nock, a Wolverhampton solicitor, wrote to the Express and Star in April 1998 to claim that his firm had acted for the woman in question, but that he could not name her owing to rules concerning client confidentiality.[31] In January 2007, the BBC Radio Four programme Document, followed by the Daily Mail, claimed to have uncovered the woman's identity. They said she was Druscilla Cotterill (1907–1978), the widow of Harry Cotterill, a Battery Quartermaster Sergeant with the Royal Artillery who had been killed in World War II. She lived in Brighton Place in Wolverhampton, which by the 1960s was dominated by immigrant families. In order to increase her income, she rented rooms to lodgers, but did not wish to rent rooms to West Indians and stopped taking in any lodgers when the Race Relations Act 1968 banned racial discrimination in housing. She locked up the spare rooms and lived only in two rooms of the house. According to those who remember the period, the many children in the street regarded her as a figure of fun and taunted her.[32]
Support for the speech[edit]
In the United Kingdom, particularly in England, "Enoch [Powell] was right" is a phrase of political rhetoric, inviting comparison of aspects of contemporary English society with the predictions made by Powell in the Rivers of Blood speech. The phrase implies criticism of racial quotas, immigration and multiculturalism. Badges, T-shirts and other items bearing the slogan have been produced at different times in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Powell gained support from both right-wing and traditionally left-leaning, working-class voters for his anti-immigration stance.
In November 2007, Nigel Hastilow resigned as Conservative candidate for Halesowen and Rowley Regis after he wrote an article in the Wolverhampton Express & Star that included the statement: "Enoch, once MP for Wolverhampton South-West, was sacked from the Conservative front bench and marginalised politically for his 1968 'rivers of blood' speech, warning that uncontrolled immigration would change Britain irrevocably. He was right and immigration has changed the face of Britain dramatically".[33][34]
In January 2014, UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage stated that 'the basic principle' of the speech was 'right'.[35] In June of that year, in response to an Islamist plot to infiltrate schools in Birmingham, Conservative peer and former minister Norman Tebbit wrote in The Daily Telegraph "No one should have been surprised at what was going on in schools in Birmingham. It is precisely what I was talking about over 20 years ago and Enoch Powell was warning against long before that. We have imported far too many immigrants who have come here not to live in our society, but to replicate here the society of their homelands".[36] Conservative MP Gerald Howarth said on the same issue "Clearly, the arrival of so many people of non-Christian faith has presented a challenge, as so many of us, including the late Enoch Powell, warned decades ago".[37]
Acknowledgement from politicians[edit]
The Labour Party MP Michael Foot remarked to a reporter that it was "tragic" that this "outstanding personality" had been widely misunderstood as predicting actual bloodshed in Britain, when in fact he had used the Aeneid quotation merely to communicate his own sense of foreboding.[38]
Thirty years after the speech, Edward Heath said that Powell's remarks on the "economic burden of immigration" had been "not without prescience."[38]
In an interview for Today shortly after her departure from office in 1991, Margaret Thatcher said that Powell had "made a valid argument, if in sometimes regrettable terms."[38]

Very similar to a Dirty Sanchez - Reaming a chick from behind (doggy-style) and then rimming her asshole with two fingers with which you run it (fecal matter and all) under her nose as to make a moustache with one finger, while the other shit-covered finger runs under her lower lip. Then, you rim the girl's ass again, and this time, you run both fingers down the side of her mouth down to her chin, making the girl look like a Kung Fu star.

Lung compliance during laparoscopic surgery in paediatric patients. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 9483594 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Insufflation of CO2 and positioning of patients induces changes in cardiovascular and respiratory function during laparoscopic procedures. This study was initiated to assess respiratory mechanics such as lung compliance and peak airway pressure (PIP) during laparoscopic surgery in paediatric patients. Ten consecutive patients (age 1-15 years) scheduled for laparoscopic procedure were included in this open prospective single-group study. Anaesthesia was induced and maintained with intravenous infusions of propofol and alfentanil. Vecuronium was administered to maintain muscle relaxation. Head down tilt induced a mean decrease of 17% in lung compliance, which was further decreased by 27% from the baseline during insufflation of intraabdominal CO2 (intraabdominal pressure 12 mmHg). Coincidently, PIP increased by 19% and 32% from the baseline during Trendelenburg position and peritoneal insufflation. Lung compliance and PIP returned to their respective baseline values after removal of CO2 from the peritoneal cavity. Endtidal CO2 increased from a baseline value of 4.3 kPa to 5.4 kPa (33-42 mmHg) during surgery when ventilator settings were not altered. We conclude that insufflation of CO2 induces significant increases in peak airway pressure with simultaneous decreases in lung compliance. |

I'm not quite sure what the question is driving at but if we are talking materials then my suits are all 100% wool (some with 10% or so of a mohair/cashmere/cotton blend).
Good materials usually goes hand in hand with good construction and good detailing. I can spot a good quality suit a mile away (although am well aware that most folks couldn't or wouldn't care).
Ended up buying this one in the sale ASOS Slim Fit Grey Suit at ASOS I definitely wasn't dissapointed for the price. A 38 chest 32 waist is a perfect fit although i compeltely agree that it's tight on the arms, (rolled slevels would definitely need to be quite tightly rolled otherwise there's an unsighlty bulge). But for money's worth it seems to be a great suit, it seems fairly similar in quality to a ben sherman I have and that has held up fairly well.
Bought an Asos suit the other week. Sent it back the same day it arrived. The trousers were awful and the Jacket was poorly constructed.

Although I mentioned three service calls, I do not downgrade them for that. I think we all know that any boat, no matter how new, will have things break. So the yardstick to measure them is not the absence of service calls, but how quickly they get you up and running when something does need attention. Their 4-hour guarantee is about as good as it can get in that respect, and their response was significantly faster than that in my case.
I also recommend Ed Hamilton Co. to act as a broker. They can help you shop around, and the free copy of the Scotts Cruising Guide is a nice perk.

Description [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The present invention relates to microprocessors and, in particular, to mechanisms for handling errors in FRC-enabled processors. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] Servers and other high-end computing and communication systems are designed to provide high levels of reliability and availability. Soft errors pose a major challenge to both of these properties. Soft errors result from collisions between high-energy particles, e.g. alpha particles, and charge storing nodes. They are prevalent in storage arrays, such as caches, TLBs, and the like, which include large numbers of charge storing nodes. They also occur in random state elements and logic. Rates of occurrence of soft errors (soft error rates or SERs) will likely increase as device geometry decreases and device densities increase. [0005] Highly reliable systems include safeguards to detect and manage soft errors, before they lead to silent, e.g. undetected, data corruption (SDC). However, to the extent error detection/handling mechanisms that support high-reliability operations take a system away from its normal operations, the system's availability is reduced. For example, one such mechanism resets the system to its last known valid state if an error is detected. The system is unavailable to carry out its assigned task while it is engaged in the reset operation. [0006] One well-known mechanism for detecting soft errors is functional redundancy checking (FRC). A single processor enabled for FRC may include replicated instruction execution cores on which the same instruction code is run. Depending on the particular embodiment, each replicated execution core may include one or more caches, register files and supporting resources in addition to the basic execution units (integer, floating point, load store, etc.). FRC-hardware compares results generated by each core, and if a discrepancy is detected, the FRC system passes control to an error-handling routine. The point(s) at which results from different execution cores are compared represents the FRC-boundary for the system. Errors that are not detected at the FRC boundary can lead to SDC. [0007] Since FRC errors indicate only that the execution cores disagree on a result, FRC errors are detectable but not recoverable. As noted above, the FRC error handling routine typically resets the system to the last known point of reliable data. This reset mechanism is relatively time consuming. It takes the system away from its normal operations, reducing system availability. [0008] FRC is only one mechanism for handling soft errors, and for random logic and random state elements, it is the primary mechanism. Array structures present a different picture. Array structures typically include parity and/or ECC hardware, which detect soft errors by examining properties of the data. In many cases, the system can correct errors created by data corruption using relatively fast hardware or software mechanisms. However, for FRC-enabled processors, such errors are likely to be manifested as FRC errors, since they take the execution cores out of lock-step. Handling these otherwise recoverable errors through a reset mechanism reduces system availability. [0009] The present invention addresses mechanisms for combining recoverable and non-recoverable error handling mechanisms efficiently in FRC-enabled processors. [0010] The present invention may be understood with reference to the following drawings, in which like elements are indicated by like numbers. These drawings are provided to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. [0011]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a processor including dual execution cores and FRC-detection and handling logic. [0012]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the processor of FIG. 1 that is capable of operating in multiple modes. [0013]FIG. 3A is a block diagram of one embodiment of a computing system that implements the multi mode processor of FIG. 2. [0014]FIG. 3B is a block diagram of a mechanism for signaling recoverable errors in the computing system of FIG. 3A. [0015]FIG. 4 is a block diagram representing the data paths of the computing system of FIG. 3A. [0016]FIG. 5 is a flowchart representing one embodiment of a mechanism for recovering from soft error in an execution core. [0017]FIG. 6 is a flowchart representing one embodiment of a mechanism for recovering from a soft error in a multi execution core processor. [0018]FIG. 7 is a block diagram representing one embodiment of an FRC checker that mitigates race conditions between recoverable and non-recoverable error mechanisms. [0019] The following discussion sets forth numerous specific details to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, those of ordinary skill in the art, having the benefit of this disclosure, will appreciate that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In addition, various well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail in order to focus attention on the features of the present invention. For example, aspects of the present invention are illustrated using a dual-core processor, but persons skilled in the art will recognize that more than two cores may be used with appropriate modifications of the reset and recovery mechanisms. [0020]FIG. 1 is a block diagram representing one embodiment of an FRC-enabled processor 110 in accordance with the present invention. Processor 110 includes first and second execution cores 120(a), 120(b) (generically, execution core 120), an FRC checker 130, an error detector 140, a recovery module 150, a reset module 160, and shared resources 170. A portion of the FRC-boundary is indicated by dashed line 104. For purposes of illustration, recovery module 150 and reset module 160 are shown as part of processor 110. These modules may be implemented in whole or in part as hardware, firmware or software and located on or off of the processor die. Similarly, shared resources 170 may include components that are on the processor die as well as components that are on one or more different die. [0021] Each execution core 120 includes a data pipeline 124 and an error pipeline 128 that feed into FRC checker 130 and error detector 140, respectively. Data pipeline 124 represents the logic that operates on various types of data as it moves through processor 110 toward FRC checker 130. Data processed by data pipeline 124 may include result operands, status flags, addresses, instructions and the like that are generated and staged through processor 110 during code execution. Error pipeline 128 represents the logic that operates on various types of data to detect errors in the data and provide appropriate signals to error detector 140. For example, the signals may be one or more bits (flags) representing the parity or ECC status of data retrieved from various storage arrays (not shown) of processor 110. Soft errors in these arrays may appear as parity or ECC error flags when the corrupted data is accessed. [0022] If an error reaches error detector 140 from either core 120, recovery module 150 is activated to implement a recovery routine. Recovery can be implemented with relatively low latency by hardware, software, firmware or some combination of these. For example, there is an extremely small probability that data is corrupted in both execution cores 120 at the same (or nearly the same) time. This leaves an uncorrupted copy of the data available to restore data integrity to processor 110. However, an FRC error will be triggered if the corrupted data from one execution core and an uncorrupted version of the data from the other execution are allowed to reach FRC checker 130 before recovery module 150 is activated. Since FRC errors are not recoverable, reset module 160 resets the system, if FRC checker 130 signals an FRC error before the underlying parity/ECC error is detected. [0023] Not all FRC-errors are traceable to underlying parity/ECC or other correctible soft errors. For those that are, it is faster for error detector 140 to address the underlying soft error than for FRC-checker to address the FRC error that results when the corrupted data reaches FRC boundary 104. As noted above, the reset process has a significantly longer latency than the recovery process, and it is to be avoided if the error can be corrected by recovery module 150. In addition, reset usually brings the entire system down, whereas recovery only results in a temporary performance loss. For this reason, FRC checker 130 is temporarily disabled if error detector 140 detects an error in either error pipeline 128, since execution cores 120 are no longer in lock step. [0024] Execution cores 120 operate in lock step during normal FRC mode, but data pipeline 124 and error pipeline 128 may operate relatively independently. For example, ECC hardware is relatively complex and, consequently, relatively slow, especially for 2-bit errors. A flag signaling such an error may reach error detector 140 before, after, at the same time as the data with which it is associated reaches FRC checker 130. This flexibility is generally beneficial. For example, it allows data to be used speculatively before its error status is determined. Since soft errors are relatively rare, and error pipeline 128 is generally as fast as data pipeline 124, this flexibility is net positive. As long as the error flag arrives at error detector 140 in time to disable FRC checker 130 before it acts on a mismatch attributable to the corrupted data, the relatively low latency recovery routine is engaged. [0025] As discussed below, processor 110 may implement strategies to mitigate the race between recoverable and non-recoverable error mechanisms. For example, a streamlined signaling mechanism may be used in FRC mode to speed disabling of FRC checker 130 in the event of a non-FRC error. In addition, FRC errors may be delayed for an interval prior to reset, in case a late arriving recoverable error signal obviates the need for reset. [0026] For one embodiment of the invention, processor 110 is capable of operating in a high reliability (e.g. FRC) mode or a high performance (e.g. multi-core) mode. The operating mode may be selected, for example, when a computing system that includes processor 110 is booted or reset. In FRC mode, execution cores 120(a) and 120(b) may appear to the operating system as a single logical processor. Execution cores 120(a) and 120(b) process the same code sequence, and the results generated are compared by FRC checker 130. If the results agree, a machine state corresponding to the code sequence is updated. [0027] In FRC mode, one of execution cores 120 may be designated as the master. The master refers to the execution core that is responsible for updating the resources shared by execution cores 120. The other execution core 120 may be designated as the slave. The slave is responsible for generating results from the same code sequence to be checked against those of the master. Since an error may occur in either the master or slave, embodiments of the present invention allow the master/slave designation to be changed dynamically. As discussed below, this allows the slave to take over the master designation to implement recovery if a recoverable error is detected in the execution core that is currently designated as master. [0028] In multi-core mode, execution cores 120(a) and 120(b) may appear to the operating system as two different logical processors on a single processor die. In this mode, execution cores 120(a) and 120(b) process different code sequences, and each updates a machine state associated with the code sequence it processes. Portions of the machine state of a logical processor may be stored in a cache and/or register associated with the corresponding execution core. At some point(s) on the processor die, results from execution cores 120(a) and 120(b) are routed to shared resource(s) 170 for, e.g., storage (cache) or transmission off of the processor die (bus). For this embodiment, additional logic is provided to mediate access to shared resources 170 by execution cores 120(a) and 120(b). In general, multi-core mode allows the execution cores of the processor to be controlled separately. [0029]FIG. 2 is a block diagram representing an embodiment of processor 110 that is capable of operating in multiple modes, e.g. FRC mode and multi-core mode. For the disclosed embodiment, an arbitration unit 180 is provided to manage transactions to shared resources 170 by execution cores 120(a) and 120(b), when processor 110 operates in multi-core mode. Arbitration unit 180 is associated with FRC unit 130, placing the arbitration point for multi-core mode operation proximate to the FRC boundary for FRC mode operation. In multi-core mode, signals from execution cores 120, e.g. transaction request signals, may be processed by arbitration unit 180, which manages access to shared resource(s) 170. In FRC mode, signals from execution cores 120 may be processed by FRC checker 130, which compares them to detect soft errors in either execution core. Locating FRC checker 130 and arbitration unit 180 in close proximity expands the FRC boundary to encompass most, if not all, of the logic for which signals from the two execution cores remain distinct. It also reduces the wiring necessary to support processor 110 in FRC and multi-core modes. [0030] Expansion of the FRC boundary in this manner naturally increases the time necessary to propagate signals to FRC checker 130. This increased �flight time� provides more time for a parity or ECC error to reach detector 140, which increases the opportunity for error recovery. As noted above, the recovery routine triggered by error detector 140 provides greater system availability than the reset routine triggered by FRC checker 130. Expanding the FRC boundary thus increases both the amount of logic that is duplicated for execution cores 120 and the flight time, during which detectable errors may be identified. The former increases FRC protection, albeit through a reset mechanism. The latter increases the likelihood that errors identifiable through parity, ECC or similar core-specific protections are handled through recovery rather than reset. [0031]FIG. 3A is a block diagram representing one embodiment of a computing system 300 in accordance with the present invention. The disclosed embodiment of system 300 includes a processor 310, chipset 370, main memory 380, non-volatile memory 390 and peripheral device(s) 398. For the disclosed embodiment of system 300, processor 310 may be operated in FRC mode or in multi-core mode. The mode may be selected, e.g., when computing system 300 is booted or reset. Chipset 370 manages communications among processor 310, main memory 380, non-volatile memory 390 and peripheral devices 398. [0032] Processor 310 includes first and second execution cores 320(a) and 320(b), respectively (generically, execution cores 320). Each execution core includes execution resources 324 and a bus cluster 328. Execution resources 324 may include, for example, one or more integer, floating point, load/store, and branch execution units, as well as register files and cache(s) to supply them with data (e.g. instructions, operands, addresses). Bus cluster 328 represents logic for managing transactions to a cache 340 that is shared by execution cores 320(a) and 320(b), as well as to a front side bus 360, for those transactions that may miss in shared cache 340. Resources corresponding to the error pipeline of FIGS. 1 and 2 may be associated with execution resources 324 and/or bus cluster 328. [0033] Interface units (IFU) 330(a), 330(b) (generically, IFU 330) represent a boundary between execution cores 320 and shared resources, cache 340 and FSB 360. The disclosed embodiment of IFU 330 includes an FRC unit 332 and an arbitration unit 334. As noted above, FRC unit 332 and arbitration unit 334 receive signals from execution cores 320, and locating them proximate to each other results in significant savings of wiring on the processor die. Also shown in FIG. 3A are error units 336(a) and 336(b), which include components to monitor for detectable errors in execution cores 320(a) and 320(b). [0034] For FRC mode, FRC unit 332 compares signals from execution cores 320 for transactions to shared resources like cache 340 and FSB 360. FRC unit 332 thus forms part of the FRC boundary of processor 310. For multi-core mode, arbitration unit 334 monitors signals from execution cores 320 and grants access to its associated shared resource according to an arbitration algorithm. The arbitration algorithm implemented by arbitration unit 334 may be, for example, a round robin scheme, a priority-based scheme or similar arbitration algorithms. For both FRC and multi-core mode, error unit 336 may monitor signals from execution cores 320 for recoverable errors. [0035] Portions of recovery module 150 and reset module 160 (FIG. 2) may be located on processor 310 or elsewhere in system 300. For one embodiment, a recovery routine 392 and a reset routine 394 may be stored in non-volatile memory 390 and images of these routines may be loaded in main memory 380 for execution. For this embodiment, recovery module 150 and reset module 160 may include pointers to recovery routine 392 and reset-routine 394, respectively (or their images in main memory 380). [0036] The disclosed embodiment of system 300 also includes interrupt controllers 370(a) and 370(b) (generically, interrupt controller(s) 370) to process interrupts for execution cores 320(a) and 320(b), respectively. Each interrupt controller 370 is shown having first and second components 374 and 378, respectively, to accommodate the different clock domains in which interrupt controller 370 may operate. For example, FSB 360 typically operates at a different frequency than processor 310. Consequently, components of processor 310 that interact directly with FSB 360 typically operate in its clock domain, which is indicated as area 364 on processor 310. [0037] The disclosed embodiment of interrupt controller 370 also includes an FRC-boundary-like component in the form of XOR 372. XOR 372 signals an FRC error if it detects a mismatch between outgoing signals, e.g. interrupt responses, of components 374(a) and 374(b) from execution cores 320(a) and 320(b). Errors attributable to interrupt controllers 370 may still arise, however, from soft errors in components 378(a), 378(b) in FSB clock domain 364. These error may be detected by the discrepancies they introduce between the subsequent operations of execution cores 320(a) and 320(b). [0038] For the disclosed embodiment of system 300, a common snoop block 362 processes snoop transactions to and from execution cores 320(a) and 320(b). XOR 366 provides FRC-checking on snoop responses from execution cores 320(a), 320(b) and signals an error if a mismatch is detected. XORs 372 and 366 may be disabled if processor 310 is operating in multi-core mode. [0039]FIG. 3B is a block diagram representing one embodiment of an apparatus 344 for broadcasting-recoverable error conditions to components of computing system 300. For example, error units 336(a) and 336(b) may represent ECC or parity error detection logic for various arrays (register, caches, buffers, etc) of execution cores 320(a) and 320(b), respectively, and/or exception logic to handle these errors. An OR gate 338 monitors error signals from execution cores 320 and asserts a signal to disable FRC unit 332 if either error signal is asserted. The error signal may be a high level interrupt, such as the machine check abort (MCA) defined for Itanium� processors. The output of OR gate 338 is also fed back to execution cores 320 to indicate to the error-free execution core that a recovery mechanism is to be initiated. A second OR gate 339 is provided to transfer error signals to execution cores 320 from the shared resources. [0040] If the error signal does not disable FRC unit 332 the corrupted data triggers an FRC error, and an otherwise recoverable error is treated as a non-recoverable, e.g. FRC, error. That is, the system goes through a reset operation rather than a shorter recovery operation. Depending on the particular implementation of the system, there may be a number of cases in which the race to FRC unit 332 between the error signal and the mismatched data signals from the execution cores (created by the recoverable error) is close. For this reason, apparatus 344 may include a mechanism to accelerate error signal propagation, at least in FRC mode. [0041] For one embodiment, apparatus 334 supports a high level interrupt such as an MCA that operates in both FRC and high performance modes. In high performance mode, the error signal is subject to pipeline stalls, e.g., in the front end of the execution core or in the L2 cache. This ensures that no unnecessary MCAs are taken, since the event that triggered the stall may make the error signal moot. In FRC mode, the error signal bypasses these stalls. Bypassing stalls in FRC may result in the processing of some unnecessary error signals, but it also reduces the probability that an FRC error is triggered before the (non-FRC) error signal disables FRC unit 332. As discussed in conjunction with FIG. 7, embodiments of processor 110 may also include a hardware mechanism to mitigate the race between the error signal and the core signals that reflect the corrupted data. [0042]FIG. 4 is a block diagram representing data paths for one embodiment of computing system 310, including FRC components to support processor 310 in FRC mode. For the disclosed embodiment, cache 340, FSB 360 and execution cores 320 are coupled through a series of buffers. For example, a write-out buffer (WOB) 410 stages data evicted from cache 340 to main memory 380, and a snoop data buffer (SDB) 420 provides snoop data from execution cores 320 or cache 340 to FSB 360, responsive to a snoop hit in these structures (Execution cores 320 may each have one or more levels of cache in addition to shared cache 340). [0043] A pair of write-line buffers (WLB) 430(a), 430(b) stage data from execution cores 320(a), 320(b), respectively, to cache 340 or FSB 360, and a pair of read-line buffers 440(a), 440(b) stage data from FSB 360 to cache 340 or execution cores 320. Coalescing buffers (CB) 450(a), 450(b) collect data to be written to memory 380 and forward it to FSB 360, periodically. For example, multiple data writes to the same line of memory may be collected in CBs 450 before triggering a write transaction on FSB 360. [0044] For the disclosed embodiment, logic associated with these buffers provides the FRC-checking and data routing functions when processor 310 is operated in FRC mode. For example, logic block 454 represents MUX and XOR functions for data in CBs 450(a), 450(b). The XOR function provides FRC checking if processor 310 is operating in FRC mode. The MUX function provides data routing if processor is operating in multi-core mode. Logic blocks 434 and 444 provide similar functions for data in WLBs 430(a), 430(b) and RLBs 440(a), 440(b), respectively. MUXs 460, 470 and 480 route data from different sources to cache 340, FSB 360 and execution cores 320. [0045] As noted above, the recovery mechanism for errors detected within the FRC boundary may be handled by various combinations of hardware, software and firmware modules. One embodiment of the recovery mechanism employs code that is closely associated with the processor. For example, the Itanium� Processor Family of Intel� Corporation, employs a layer of firmware called the processor abstraction layer (PAL), which provides an abstraction of the processor to the rest of the computing system. Implementing recovery in the PAL hides the recovery process from system level code, such as the system abstraction layer (SAL), e.g. BIOS, and the operating system. PAL-based implementations of the recovery mechanism should be able to complete quickly enough to avoid triggering a time-out period enforced by the operating system. Recovery mechanisms may also be implemented using system level code, e.g. SAL/BIOS, or operating system code. The latter implementations may not be subject to the same time constraints as the PAL-based implementation. Unless otherwise noted, the recovery mechanisms discussed below may be implemented using code associated with any of the foregoing sources. [0046]FIG. 5 is a flowchart representing a mechanism for recovering from an error detected in one of the execution cores before it triggers an FRC reset. Responsive to a parity, ECC or other error detected in one of the execution cores, a signal is broadcast 510 to indicate the start of a recovery routine. As long as the error is detected before it triggers an FRC reset, the corrupted data can be localized to one of the execution cores, leaving the machine state data of the other execution core available for recovery. Accordingly, the machine state of the good core is saved 520. To prepare the processor for recovery, both cores are initialized 530 to a specified condition, and the saved machine state is restored 540 to the initialized cores. FRC mode is then restored 550 and the processor returns 560 to the interrupted code. [0047] For one embodiment of the invention, one of execution cores 120 may be designated as the master core and the other as the slave core when processor 10 is operating in FRC mode. For this embodiment, signals generated by the master and slave cores are compared at the FRC boundary to determine if reset is necessary. If no FRC reset is warranted, signals generated by the master core are transferred to shared resource(s) 170, and signals generated by the slave core are dropped. For this embodiment, a bit in a status register of each execution core 120 may be used to indicate its status as master or slave. The bit may be set, for example, when the system is booted or reset. As discussed below in greater detail, the master/slave status of an execution may also be changed dynamically to allow recovery for an error in either core. For errors detected within the FRC boundary, e.g. recoverable errors, the actions of the master and slave core may differ, depending on which core generated the error. [0048]FIG. 6 is a flowchart representing one embodiment of a mechanism 600 for recovering from an error detected in an execution core designated as the slave execution core. Operations of the slave execution core are shown on the left, and operations of the master execution core are shown on the right. [0049] Routine 600 is initiated if the slave execution core detects 610 an error (parity, ECC, etc.). The slave core triggers 620 an interrupt to signal the error condition to other components of the computing system. For embodiments of routine 600 implemented by PAL or comparable processor-level code, broadcast of the interrupt signal may be limited to components within the processor chip, such as the master execution core. In addition to signaling the error, the slave execution core disables 630 the FRC unit and suspends its activities. Disabling the FRC unit prevents the error from triggering an FRC reset when it reaches the FRC boundary, and suspending activities in the slave core prevents it from disrupting the recovery process. [0050] In response 624 to the interrupt, the master execution core determines 640 whether its state data contains any errors. For example, each execution core may include a status bit that is set if an error is detected. The master execution core may check this bit to determine if it has also generated an error. Except for the very rare case in which soft errors occur in both execution cores almost simultaneously, the master core is likely to be clean. If it is not clean 640, there is no uncorrupted processor state with which to implement a recovery. In this case, the master core signals 642 a reset condition to the slave core and the computing system executes 644 a full, e.g. FRC-level, reset. [0051] If the state data for the master core is not corrupted, the master core saves 660 its machine state and flushes 664 queues and buffers in its pipeline. For example, the master core may save the contents of its data and control registers and low-level cache(s) to a protected area of memory. The master core also signals 668 a limited reset to the slave core and sets 676 it resources to a specified state, e.g. initializes its pipeline. The slave core detects 670 the limited reset and initializes 674 its pipeline, synchronizing the states of the cores. [0052] With the cores thus synchronized, FRC mode is reactivated 680. This may be accomplished, for example, by having each core execute a handler routine, which sets appropriate state bits in its status/control registers. The saved state is restored 684 to both execution cores, and control is returned 690 to the interrupted code sequence. [0053] Method 600 represents an embodiment of the recovery mechanism for the case in which the error is detected in the execution core that is currently designated as the slave core. For one embodiment, the slave core is the execution core that does not �control� the shared resource(s). For example, in FRC mode, signals from the slave execution core are dropped following comparison with those from the master execution core at the FRC boundary. If no FRC error is detected, signals from the master core are used to control the shared resources outside the FRC boundary. [0054] If the error originates in the master core rather than the slave core, recovery may be handled by changing the master/slave designations of the execution cores. For example, master/slave designation may be indicated by the state of a bit in a status register associated with each execution core. The execution core for which this status bit is in the master state controls the shared resources, which are used to implement the state-saving operations of recovery routine 600, e.g. operation 660. [0055] For one embodiment of the recovery routine, the execution core in which the error originates may check its master/slave status bit. If the status bit indicates it is the slave, method 600 may be implemented as described. If the status bit indicates it is the master, it may signal the slave to change its status to master, change its own status to slave, and suspend activities. [0056]FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of an FRC-checker 730 that mitigates race conditions between recoverable and non-recoverable error handling. The disclosed embodiment of FRC checker 730 includes a compare unit 734, queue 736, and timer unit 738. Queue 736 receives data from execution core (a), and compare unit 734 compares the data from cores A and B, and sets a status flag to indicate if the comparison yields a match. If the data matches, the status flag is set to indicate the match. [0057] If the data does not match, the status flag is set to indicate the mismatch and timer unit 738 is triggered to begin a countdown interval. If error detector 140 receives an error flag before the timeout interval expires, it disables FRC checker 730 and triggers recovery unit 150 to implement the recovery routine. [0058] There has thus been disclosed a mechanism for handling recoverable and non-recoverable errors in multi-core processor. The multiple cores may be operated in FRC mode, in which case, one or more checker units compare signals from the cores to detect non-recoverable errors. In addition, each core includes an error unit to detect recoverable errors. If a recoverable error is detected, the checker units are disabled and a recovery routine is implemented. A multi-core mode embodiment of the multi-core processor may include an arbitration unit, proximate to the checker, to control access to the shared resource(s). Proximity of the FRC boundary to the shared resources increases the logic protected by the FRC boundary and reduces wiring necessary for the multi-core mode implementation. [0059] Embodiments of the present invention detect virtually all errors that are undetected in non-FRC-enabled systems, and they support recovery of virtually all detectable errors, including those that are typically handled through reset in other FRC-enabled processors. [0060] The disclosed embodiments have been provided to illustrate various features of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art of processor design, having the benefit of this disclosure, will recognize variations and modifications of the disclosed embodiments, which none the less fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Close on the heels of the fourth anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks, Arvind Kerjriwal-led India Against Corruption has taken up the cause of some National Security Guard commandos who have allegedly been deprived of recognition by the State for their sacrifice and also their shares in private donations made for their welfare.
According to IAC, Surender Singh was one such commando who was seriously injured in Operation Black Tornado while rescuing people trapped inside Taj Hotel in Mumbai. The young commando from Jhajjar in Haryana, on deputation from the Army's Grenadiers unit, joined the operation barely four days after his first child was born.
In the ensuing battle with the heavily armed Pakistani terrorists, Surender's team liquidated two of them. But then a grenade exploded close to him, riddling his body with splinters.
"He was treated at the NSG and Army Base hospitals. Doctors recorded that he had suffered serious injuries in the right shoulder, left leg and the blast had also rendered him deaf in both ears. They later tendered a report declaring him medically unfit for service in the Army. His service was terminated thereafter," said Mr. Kejriwal.
The IAC alleged that persistent enquiries on the credit due to these NSG commandos, including that of Surender, earned them nothing but the ire of their superiors. Mr. Kejriwal said while in service, Surender came to know that his name along with that of eight other commandos seriously injured in the operation had not been included in the list of those conferred bravery awards on January 26, 2009. When enquiries were made, superiors from time to time gave assurances that never fructified.
Meanwhile, the Home Ministry reply to an RTI query by one Anand Singh of Bahadurgarh in February 2010 revealed that no recommendations for bravery awards to the nine NSG commandos were pending nor received. "It means that Army officers gave false assurances," alleged Mr. Kejriwal.
Another reply from the NSG revealed that of the 11 injured commandos, two were conferred Shaurya Chakra, one with Sena Medal and the rest were given commendation letters. "The commendation letter given to Surender Singh (who also took part in the Kargil war) does not bear signature of any officer nor any date of issuance, hence it carries little significance. Irregularities in distribution of the government and private assistance offered to the commandos were also detected," alleged Mr. Kejriwal, adding that only four of the commandos were given Rs.2.5 lakh each from the amount received from Royal Western India Turf Club.
The IAC alleged that several cheques sent by various organises for the injured commandos never reached them, besides Rs.2 lakh shown as given to Surender on behalf of Rohan Motors had never been made. In reply, the authorities said they were not authorised to receive such donations.
After the aggrieved commandos finally presented themselves before the media on August 13, 2010, seeking redress, they were allegedly threatened with dire consequences. The IAC alleged that what followed was sheer harassment of the commandos, who were chucked out of the NSG to parent units one after the other. One of them opted for voluntary retirement.
Since Surender was under treatment, he could not be repatriated. But then on October 15, 2011, he was relieved on medical grounds after a service of 14 years, three months and ten days, without an entitlement for pension. In response to his claim, the Grenadiers Records said his service tenure fell short of the mandatory 15 years.
In response to the statement issued by the Army on Thursday, the IAC said the Army was now only claiming that an approval has been given to Surender's pension and retirement gratuity. "The money was not paid. In fact, the Grenadiers Records letter refuses to acknowledge his claim on pension. If at all such an approval had been given, why was Surender not informed through a letter? In case, such a process has been initiated, it is only after our press conference," said IAC, rebutting the assertions made by the Army.

As I mentioned, I am reading 1491. Having finished it, I highly recommend it as a way to reset your understanding of the Americas. Author Charles Mann's purpose is to debunk three commonly held ideas about the Americas before Columbus: that the continents were sparsely populated, that the social and technical development was limited and that the locals left the environment untouched.
In discussing scholarly debates on these subjects, he convincingly argues that the population, before the decimation of disease, was quite high. The debate is just how many people there were rather than whether the continents were pristine unoccupied lands waiting for the taking. The major factor here is the spread of Old World disease.
On the question of social and cultural development, he argues that Peru and Mesoamerica should be counted among the birthplaces of human culture. While they didn't develop in the same way as Asian or European societies, they represent great achievements that best took advantage of their situation.
His final point is that the locals were extensive modifiers of the environment. In fact he goes so far as to say that the Amazon as we know it is the result of thousands of years of human engineering.
All of these arguments have their foes and Mann gives them room in the book as well. It's a fair, easy to read book that will likely educate and entertain all but specialists.

Finishing 1491

A reading question: do you think people who liked Jared Diamond's "guns Germs and Steel" would like this book? Or vice versa? Either way, I've got to check it out. Thanks for the review.
- Tripp said...
Yes, do check out the book. In regards to your question, I think people who like one will like the other with the following qualifications.
Because 1491 is about one region as opposed to the three or four discussed in Guns, it is a lot more detailed. Those who like or dislike detail may not like the other book. Those who want to go deeper than Diamond could will eat this up.
While both books are about dispelling commonly held beliefs ( the West took over the rest due to inherent superiority in Western culture(Diamond) and the population, development and environmental concerns (Mann), 1491 places more emphasis on the development of the specific cultures than the effect of the geographic environment.
They are equally good as stylists, which is nice. - 1:32 PM
- Tripp said...
I will add that although I have not read Collapse, I think Mann takes a different approach to the Maya than Diamond does in that book. Mann thinks the ecological collapse theory is overstated.
This is based on my reading of reviews, so take it with a grain of salt. - 1:46 PM
- Nonanon said...
Thanks Tripp-
This is all very helpful information. I work in a library and the demand for Diamond's work is insatiable, so I'm always on the lookout for other, similar titles to recommend. I personally hated the Diamond books so it's also hard for me to naturally stumble across other similar books! I appreciate the thoughtful replies. - 11:36 AM
- Tripp said...
Glad to help! You might also consider David Landes Wealth of Nations, which is something of a retort, arguing that culture is the key determinant of global success. It's not as good a book, but it is a good counter argument.

Press Release:
Comic art legend Neal Adams is coming to Lee's Comics this Friday! Neal entered the field of comics illustration in the 1960s, and changed the look of comic books forever.

Recently Neal returned to Marvel and DC with ground-breaking new works: "The First X-Men", and "Batman: Odyssey." Neal will be joined for the signing by his talented son Josh Adams, artist on IDW's Doctor Who.
Neal will be offering a free signature on your favorite item, and free signatures on Prints and other items brought in from NealAdams.com. There will be a $10 fee for additional signatures.
