Inside a U.S. Embassy is widely recognized as the essential guide to the Foreign Service. This all-new third edition takes readers to more than fifty U.S. missions around the world, introducing Foreign Service professionals and providing detailed descriptions of their jobs and firsthand accounts of diplomacy in action.
In addition to profiles of diplomats and specialists around the world—from the ambassador to the consular officer, the public diplomacy officer to the security specialist—is a selection from more than twenty countries of day-in-the-life accounts, each describing an actual day on the job. Personal reports from the field give a sense of the extraordinary challenges—the coups, the natural disasters, the civil wars—and rewards of representing America to the world.
Inside a U.S. Embassy includes new chapters on the highly competitive Foreign Service entrance process, Foreign Service life outside the embassy, and briefings on topics such as handling high-level visits and service in war zones.

Описание: After losing her mother on the day of her high school graduation, Dillon Bloom enters college and discovers that her calling is to become a writer. When she finds out that the father she thought had died in her infancy may be a very much alive and famous, but reclusive, novelist she is determined to find him and discover whether he is, in fact, her father. Martin Bloom, her father, is killing himself with alcohol and, after being fired from teaching positions at Harvard and Stanford, he is living a degenerate life on a boat in Saigon, Vietnam, hoping to regain his ability to write. Dillon's search for her father, a quest which takes her from Oregon to Massachusetts to California and finally to Vietnam, is an odyssey of alternating hope and despair in which two anti-social people, father and daughter, struggle with their identities and the meaning of the other in each of their lives.

About the Author
As a physician, educator, and scientist, Hugh Dorman has spent many years trying to heal the sick, train residents and medical students, and promote improved patient care through research. He has always believed that living with gratitude and hope is a gift, providing an inside track to happiness. Family to Dorman is of utmost importance: it is a source of help and support that will smooth the bumps in the road. His experience suggests that altruistic deeds benefit the giver more than the recipient and true charity is best provided anonymously. Moreover, it has become obvious to him that forgiveness and tolerance are essential to calm the soul and feed the spirit. Dorman trusts in God's plan and knows that life unfolds the way it is supposed to. He would not know joy without tragedy, feel love without loving, and appreciate success without failure.
Dorman has made more than his share of mistakes, which have served to educate and provide a guide for an improved way of life in a meaningful way and has come to understand that everyone has something valuable to offer, if only he took the time to listen. Finally, introspection of his life has taught him that the simple act of acceptance can result in an outlook on daily life that is less frustrating and more enjoyable.

Описание:
Providing for National Security: A Comparative Analysis argues that the provision of national security has changed in the 21st century as a result of a variety of different pressures and threats. In this timely volume experts from both the academic and policy worlds present 13 different country case studies drawn from across the globe—including established and newer states, large and smaller states, those on the rise and those in apparent decline—to identify what these key players consider to be their national security priorities, how they go about providing national security, how they manage national security, and what role they see for their armed forces now and in the future. The book concludes that relative standing and the balance of power remains important to each state, and that all see an important role for armed forces in the future.
