However, an adequate appreciation of his contribution still remains a desideratum of scholarly research. One serious impediment to scholarly progress is the fact that the critical edition of his main philosophical work in calumniatorem platonis is incomplete and that this work has not been translated in its entirety into any modern language yet. Same can be stated about several minor but equally important treatises on literary, theological and philosophical subjects. This makes editing, translating and interpreting his literary, religious and philosophical works a scholarly priority. Papers assembled in this volume highlight a number of philological, philosophical and historical aspects that are crucial to our understanding of bessarion's role in the history of european civilization and to setting the directions of future research in this field.[Byzantinists, historians of philosophy, renaissance studies, historians of the 15th century 9783110636253 3110636255!egyptian archaeology / egyptology?�\yrs|�_I��~��I��v�Rir�pS�^{�Wl�'YO��$The Animals Of The Artemidor PapyrusAn Indian Embassy To Rome<Archiv F�r Papyrusforschung Und Verwandte G< ebiete  Beihefte44Kinzelbach, Ragnar 2020-08-31190�The artemidorus papyrus, originating from alexandria, contains on its verso sketches of 45 animal species, thereof 15 from india.

External factors are represented by aggressive competition and volatile product demand. Internally, the industry must face an increasingly shorter life cycle of the product and the need to innovate both product and organizational development. The competitive advantage of the industry lies in its ability to design a value-creating system based on the management of both external and internal relationships. The successful management of these relationships relies not only on successful customer relationship management but also on effective product supply and demand upkeep. Management and inter/intra organizational relationships in the textile and apparel industry provides emerging research exploring relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research underlining the complexity of management applications within the textile industry. 9781799818601 9781799819509 1799819507'k�N�~NmT��v:S�WNSOSN*gegT\O!P��VRegional Integration And Future Cooperation Initiatives In The Eurasian Economic Union:Advances In Finance, Accounting, And Economics (2327-5677)Maria Lagutina3392The integration of the eurasian economic union has been under constant development as officials try to successfully implement new economic policies within its various regions.

What is often overlooked in this political development is the work of the independent labour party (ilp) which was a formative influence in the growth of the political labour movement and its leaders in the late nineteenth century and the early to mid-twentieth century. The ilp supplied the labour party with some of its leading political figures, such as ramsay macdonald, and moved the labour party along the road of parliamentary socialism. However, divided over the first world war and challenged by the labour party becoming socialist in 1918, it had to face the fact that it was no longer the major parliamentary socialist party in britain. Although it recovered after the first world war, rising to between 37,000 and 55,000 members, it came into conflict with the labour party and two labour governments over their gradualist approach to socialism. 9780367495015504 9781138671331 1138671339K7�2m�Safrican american studies^�Ԉ��V�NN�[���k�l��y�e0�S�SN�s�X+African Americans And The Mississippi River!Race, History And The Environment"Routledge Environmental HumanitiesDorothy Zeisler-vralsted 2020-06-14@This book follows the historical trajectory of african americans and their relationship with the mississippi river dating back to the 1600s and ending with hurricane katrina and the still-contested delta landscape.Long touted in literary and historical works, the mississippi river remains an iconic presence in the american landscape. Whether referred to "old man river" or the "big muddy," the mississippi river represents imageries ranging from the pastoral and acadian to turbulent and unpredictable.

Accurate studies for subject, discipline, and significance have not yet given an organic and systematic vision of augustine s theory of the sign. The underlying aspiration is that such an endeavour will prove to be beneficial to the scholars of augustine s thought as well as to those with a keen interest in the history of semiotics. The study uses augustine s own accounts to investigate and interpret the philosophical problem of the sign. The focus lies on the first decade of augustine s literary production.

Bush presidency. In drawing upon "african american," "american," and "european" modalities of jazz identity, european jazz musicians emerge as both resourceful and also as not so different from their american counterparts. The book disentangles a complicated twenty-first century discourse--the "eternal triangle" framework-- by consolidating existing scholarship and enabling a wide audience to apprehend the dynamic links between postmodern gen-e jazz productions and their american modernist and/or african american traditionalist counterparts. It shows how young european musicians triangulate their own jazz identities in relation to a) other europeans; b) cultural-imperialist america; and c) africa< n americans. 201905T&F 9781138058514 9781538114834 1538114836social science 07u�NNsY�N:'`+R�v�eS�^�g 0 �,{�NHr;Women And Men: Cultural Constructs Of Gender, Fifth EditionBy Nancy BonvillainRowman & Littlefield PublishersjA cross-cultural study of gender roles and relationships, women and men: cultural constructs of gender, 5/e has a cross-cultural emphasis with coverage of a wide range of ethnographic and historical data on us and global economic development - with a focus on both material conditions and ideological valuations that affect and reflect cultural models of gender. 9781538114827 2020-07-05 201810KNV 9783161565014 3161565010 new testament^y�v�Q�z�T^y�vb�X�,TWl��N�TvQ�N�r*Y�N�v�X�&Divine Conflict And The Divine Warrior+Listening To Romans And Other Jewish Voices Wunt Ii 507Ryan, Scott C.Morh Siebeck Publisher 2020-03-17Scott c.

The history that culminated in the end of a lifeway begins with the arrival of algonquin-speaking peoples in north america, proceeds through the emergence of the cheyennes and arapahos on the central plains, and ends with the incursion of white people seeking land and gold. Beginning in the earliest days of the southern cheyennes, kraft brings the voices of the past to bear on the events leading to the brutal murder of people and its disastrous aftermath. Through their testimony and their deeds as reported by contemporaries, major and supporting players give us a broad and nuanced view of the discovery of gold on cheyenne and arapaho land in the 1850s, followed by the land theft condoned by the u.S. Government.+NN�VfN:��V��xvz, �2mpS,{�[�Nxvz, �SxQxvz, �Q�N�S, ?e�lf[, �6q�yf[ ���R�T'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[ 9781544372211 1544372213business & management (general)�~�~�Si��N*Nb�TL��R�v�]wQSOrganizational ChangeAn Action-oriented Toolkit0Gene Deszca, Cynthia Ingols And Tupper F.

In the us, military veterans of world war ii are widely revered as the foremost representatives of 'the greatest generation', a generation that vanquished fascism in europe and the far east, faced down the threat of communism during the cold war, and achieved unprecedented levels of prosperity and social mobility in their own society. Elsewhere, america's service men and women are often remembered more ambivalently for their material abundance, their hedonism, and even their rapacity. God and uncle sam shows that bothperspectives are problematic: america's armed forces were the products of one of the most diverse and dynamic religious cultures in the western world and were the largest ever to be raised by a professedly religious society. 9781939125736 1939125731J5�]z��/gart & architecture��_)YX�vS���1g�`�"�k�yr�vi_�~�s�tz�/gThe Path To Paradise%Judith Schaechter's Stained-glass ArtJessica Marten Rit Press176WFrom her start in the 1980s, judith schaechter (b. 1961) has stretched the medium of stained glass into an incisive art form for the twenty-first century, boldly paving her path in the diverse arena of contemporary art.

Brondarbit225FThe reigns of edward iv and richard iii have long engendered fascination and debate, not least concerning the extent of the authority and power of key individuals surrounding the court at the time. This book examines the most influential men and women at the centre of their regimes: the political power-brokers. They served the king in matters of diplomacy, warfare, court ceremony, local government, and the attempt to keep order amid the ongoing crisis of kingship sparked by the wars of the roses. Their close royal association to the king led to rapid increases in their power and fortune. Among their ranks are well-documented figures such as the tragic "kingmaker", richard neville,earl of warwick, and the steadfast baron william, lord hastings. This volume however is also concerned to bring to the forefront lesser discussed figures, including sir thomas montgomery, edward's close friend whose career was remade by the yorkist usurpation, and sir john fogge, one of the leading men of kent who prospered under yorkist rule, yet risked everything by rejecting richard's right to rule. 9780901134776 09011347751 0�W������_����yyr�v�[�^ T�Q 0 � 0���eyr/O5r+Y�NNm_^WKQ 0 �1265t^:'Y��VfN�� �8877u�SThe Household Roll Of Eleanor De Montfort, Countess Of Leicester And Pembroke, 1265#British Library, Additional Ms 88770Publications Of The Pipe Roll Society New SeriesLouise J.

The essays collected here introduce and analyse a spectrum of masculinities, from the sagas of icelanders, contemporary sagas, kings' sagas, legendary sagas, chivalric sagas, bishops' sagas, and eddic and skaldic verse, producing a broad and multifaceted understanding of what it means to be masculine in old norse-icelandic texts. A critical introduction places the essays in their scholarly context, providing the reader with a concise orientation in gender studies and the study of masculinities in old norse-icelandic literature. This book's investigation of how masculinities are constructed and challenged within a unique literature is all the more vital in the current climate, in which old norse sources are weaponised to support far-right agendas and racist ideologies are intertwined with images of vikings as hypermasculine. 9789211172225 9211172225�politics & government|international relations|international institutions//politics & government|international relations|united nations & un agencies//economics|international economics|international trade//economics|international economics|trade agreements8�f�O)RSag>k���OIl͋Glh���/-N/�O�eHr �_Trade Facilitation Terms: An English-russian-chinese Glossary (english/chinese/russian Edition)-United Nations Economic Commission For EuropeUnited Nations Publications 2020-02-28326�This glossary represents an english-russian-chinese dictionary of terms that are widely used in trade facilitation.

Lexiteers today make the case that the four freedoms (of goods, services, capital and people), inherent to the functioning of a neoliberal eu, undermine the potential for national progressive policies in relation to, among other areas, labour markets, state intervention and finance. There is, at the very least, a great deal of sympathy for such ideas within the contemporary left-wing labour leadership.

At rfist glance, brandt's genres may appear unrelated, but when analyzing his career in its entirety, a common theme comes to the forefront: what psychologist sigmund freud and philosopher eugenio trias called "the sinister." from his earliest photographs taken as an amateur in the 1930s to his late portraits and studies of the female body, brandt expresses a fascination with the strange and dark aspects of life that only he can reveal.

Patricia jabbeh wesley guides us through the complex and intertwined highs and lows of motherhood and all the roles that it encompasses: parent, woman, wife, sister, friend. Her work is deeply personal, drawing from her own life and surroundings to convey grief, the bleakness of war, humor, deep devotion, and the hope of possibility. These poems lend an international voice to the tales of motherhood, as wesley speaks both to the african and to the western experience of motherhood, particularly black motherhood. She pulls from african motifs and proverbs, utilizing the poetics of both the west and africa to enrich her striking emotional range. Leading us to the depths of mourning and the heights of tender love, she responds to american police brutality, writing "to be a black woman is to be a woman, / ready to mourn," and remembers a dear friend who is at once "mother and wife and friend and pillar / and warrior woman all in one.���R�T'Yf[ 9781793620750 179362075XH0��f[language��V�eYe^S��v�O��:N�~KN�N�v��[W݋�\Rhetoric Of The Protestant Sermon In America: Pulpit Discourse At The Turn Of The Millennium�Eric C Miller; Jonathan J Edwards; Jonathan J Edwards; Cory Geraths; Theon E Hill; Lauren Lemley; Eric C Miller; Kelsey W Minnick; Robert Stephen Reid; Meridith I Styer174GIn rhetoric of the protestant sermon in america: the pulpit at the turn of the millennium, ten scholars analyze notable sermons from the fifty-year span between 1965 and 2015, during which the protestant sermon has undergone significant change in the united states.

Instead of the homogenizing national identity in iraqi literature created before 2003, postoccupation literature presents iraqi society as a kaleidoscope of multiple religious identities converging in an accommodating iraqi national identity. The author argues that this could not have happened without the upheaval of 2003 and its conseque< nt results: democracy and political restructuring that incorporated shia for the first time into the ruling political coalition in recognition of their numerical majority. Literature was consequential to processing the complicated subject of shia-sunni relations and the sectarian identity of each and, even more, in the wake of the geopolitical events of 2003, literature was instrument in bringing representation of the kurds, the small minorities, and even the last jews of iraq to the fore. 9780813068091 0813068096K85�eir��SZbisac category: history | caribbean & west indies | general / social science | archaeology _�f��\�vwm NW��N+The Maritime Heritage Of The Cayman IslandsRoger C.

Then it reviews china's rural land system transition in history as well as its current circumstances and problems. Based on theoretical thinking and practice, this book proposes land trust and expounds on its nature and content.

These land grant maps, or mapas de mercedes de tierras, recorded the boundaries of cities, provinces, towns, and places; they made note of markers and ownership, and, at times, the extent and measurement of each field in a territory, along with the names of those who worked it. With their corresponding case files, these maps tell the stories of hundreds of natives and spaniards who engaged in legal proceedings either to request land, to oppose a petition, or to negotiate its terms. Mapping indigenous land explores how, as persuasive and rhetorical images, these maps did more than simply record the disputed territories for lawsuits. They also enabled indigenous communities - and sometimes spanish petitioners - to translate their ideas about contested spaces into visual form; offered arguments for the defense of these spaces; and in some cases even helped protect indigenous land against harmful requests. 9783161539671 3161539672 old testament�l o�Sb_: 0peW[KNfN 0-N�vxvzDesert TransformationsStudies In The Book Of NumbersFat 137Frevel, Christian{Christian frevel brings the book of numbers' regularly misunderstood interplay between narrative and legislative material into new light, examining its texts equally as inner-biblical interpretations and tradition-bound innovations.

It analyzes the complex network of entities that make up a nation's infrastructure, and identifies vulnerabilities and risks in various sectors by combining network science, complexity theory, risk analysis, and modeling and simulation. This approach reduces the complex problem of protecting water supplies, energy pipelines, telecommunication stations, power grid, and internet and web networks to a much simpler problem of protecting a few critical nodes. The new third edition of critical infrastructure protection in homeland security: defending a networked nation incorporates a broader selection of ideas and sectors than the previous book.

They outwardly embraced catholicism but preserved judaism in their hearts. While the marranos are commonly associated with the persecution of jews at the time of the spanish inquisition, donatella di cesare sees the marranos as the quintessential figure of the modern condition: the marranos were not just those that modernity has cast out as the 'other', but were those 'others' who were forced to disavow their beliefs and conceal themselves. They were 'the other's other', the product of a double exclusion, condemned to a life of existential duplicity with no way out, spurned by both catholics and jews and unable fully to belong to either community. But this double life of the marrano turned out also to be a secret source of strength. 9781509542031 9781509538157 1509538151 �y�[�bhy�^�/f:_6R'`�vT?"Should Secret Voting Be Mandatory?Political Theory Today James Johnson 2020-09-17 9781509538164 9781119712565 1119712564personal finance%Z)R N�~Cfay��vxvzcWS2021:�V�[6e�v0M�u�N�T�T�f�N�bD�(,{5wS) 2020-09-11 9781119712534 111971253XZ)R N�~Cfay��vxvzcWS2021:�~Nmf[(,{2wS) 9781119712503 1119712505Z)R N�~Cfay��vxvzcWS2021:&Ot�T�[ϑ�e�l(,{1wS) 9783631798324 3631798326 english language and literatures1͑�e�`a��T͑�e�[MO�~�~�T O�efW^\��c"}�OW�eY�eyr�TeYU�^UaKQ�v�W^\�-N�v_MOzz���T,{ Nzz��1Re-imagining And Re-placing New York And IstanbulYExploring The Heterotopic And Third Spaces In Paul Auster's And Orhan Pamuk s City Novels Bay, Hatice�The author re-examines the urban novels of auster and pamuk in the light of foucault's heterotopia and bhabha's the third space, respectively. Furthermore, for the discussions of the nature of the relationship between the self and the other, this present study deploys emmanuel levinas's ethics. This book argues that examining the urban spaces and characters of auster and pamuk through the prisms of foucault, bhabha and levinas establishes a new critical framework that gives a constructive and ethical angle to the negative late twentieth-century and early twenty-first century discourses on the city and its inhabitants. The reader of this book will discover urban subjects who actively transform their respective cities into either heterotopic or third spaces and thereby become response-able for and attentive to their immediate surroundings, to their national or personal histories and, most importantly, to other people. 9781119712541 1119712548Z)R N�~Cfay��vxvzcWS2021:"��R�bJT�TR�g(,{3wS) 9781119712558 1119712556%Z)R N�~Cfay��vxvzcWS2021:lQ�S"��R ��bD��~T�{t�T��hy(,{4wS) 9781799841838 1799841839ؚI{Ye��-N�vZ��b�y�Rf[`N;m�R:Virtual And Mobile Learning Activities In Higher EducationIAdvances In Educational Technologies And Instructional Design (2326-8905) Lisbeth Amhag 2020-04-03200?Digitization has undergone a number of paradigm shifts where structures, processes, and behaviors have changed, including in education.

The tsinza occupies an important position in bura culture. Old musicians emphasized that it was originally an important funeral instrument. Today, however, the instrument has assumed other roles with an entirely different meaning for many in the society. The traditional context of use of the instrument is disappearing, but new contexts have surfaced that keep the instrument a lively art amongst the people.

This involves tracing the ways in which free speech has been mobilized in far-right politics, in the recycling of race realism and other discredited forms of knowledge, and in the politics of immigration and integration. Where there is intense political contestation and public confusion as to what constitutes racism and who gets to define it, free speech has been adopted as a primary mechanism for amplifying and re-animating racist ideas and racializing claims. 9781509536160"certification (msce/ novell/ etc.)Sybex 9780730384052 0730384055 management ��܀� O�vkQ�b��SThe 8 Keys Of A Winning Team Tim Baker 9780730383659 0730383652B821-49�Nu‰0�Nu�Tf[ �YUOZPN*N�_PNT N�v�N How To Be A Happy Thriving Human Jenny Brockis 9781119697183 1119697182Z)R:N2020 Cima�Ջf[`NcWS(pS7R),Wiley Study Guide For 2020 Cima Exam (print) 2020-01-10 9781119651543 1119651549marketing & sales0%��NlQsQ�v�eĉR��YUO)R(u�Q�[%��0�d�[0>y�N�ZSO0�N�]zf��0Ɖ���v�d�T�e���Rceg�v�c�c�pN�[�The New Rules Of Marketing And Pr: How To Use Content Marketing, Podcasting, Social Media, Ai, Live Video, And Newsjacking To Reach Buyers DirectlyDavid Meerman Scott 2020-04-15�The seventh edition of the pioneering guide to generating attention for your idea or business, packed with new and updated information in the digital age, marketing tactics seem to change on a day-to-day basis.

Yet, by most measures, across many sectors and regions, severe labour exploitation continues to soar. Corporate social responsibility is not working. Why? in this landmark book, genevieve lebaron lifts the lid on a labour governance regime that is severely flawed and limited. She takes a close-up look at the millions of corporate dollars spent on anti-slavery networks, ngo partnerships, lobbying for new transparency legislation, and investment in social auditing and ethical certification schemes, to show how such efforts serve to bolster corporate growth and legitimacy as well as government reputations, whilst failing to protect the world's most vulnerable workers. To eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking in global supply chains a new approach is needed; one that confronts corporate power and profits, dismantles exploitative business models, and regulates the booming private industry of accounting firms, social auditors, and consultants that has emerged to 'monitor' and 'enforce' labour standards. 9781509513666 9781509537051 1509537058B0�Tf[t��general philosophy��0{^ɉ0�u�rError, Illusion, MadnessBento Prado Jr. 9781509537044 1509513663GOver the last decade, the worlds largest corporations - from the coca cola company to amazon, apple to unilever - have taken up the cause of combatting modern slavery.

Highlighting the ways in which popular culture and the media actively produce and sustain the cultural imaginary for social polarization, she shows how there is substantial pressure on women not just to be employed, but to prioritize working life. She fiercely challenges the media gatekeepers who shape contemporary womanhood by means of exposure and public shaming, and pays particular attention to the endemic nature of anti-welfarism as it is addressed to women, thereby reducing the scope for feminist solidarity. In this theoretically rich and deep analysis of current cultural processes, mcrobbie introduces a series of concepts including 'visual media governmentality' and the urging of women into work as 'contraceptive employment'. Foregrounding a triage of ideas as the 'perfect-imperfect-resilience' mcrobbie conveys some of the key means by which consumer capitalism attempts to manage the threats posed by the new feminisms. 9781509525072�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[ 9780730384700 0730384705 ㉳Q^y�y�vW[�Fd7R�e%Solving Cryptic Crosswords Fd RefreshDenise Sutherland 2020-02-12 9780367136611 0367136619behavioral sciences���_N'`L�:N N�z�R�N�S�l�_tf[xvzMemory And Sexual Misconduct+Psychological Research For Criminal Justice8Edited By Joanna Pozzulo, Emily Pica And Chelsea Sheahan�Memory and sexual misconduct: psychological research for criminal justice investigates the veracity of memories of sexual misconduct and the factors that may influence accurate recall, and fundamentally assesses whether psychological science can help the criminal justice system in determining which accusations are likely to be accurate, and which are not. In recent years, the public has been inundated with announcements of sexual assault allegations, in particular against public figures like politicians, businessmen, movie moguls, and professional athletes. Many of these accusations concern events that occurred several years prior to their announcements and trials. Drawing upon a compilation of real-life sexual assault cases and psychological science on recall and sexual trauma, this book provides an analysis of memory reports of sexual misconduct, including inappropriate comments, behaviors, harassment, and assault. 9780367134099 9781509541973 1509541977continental philosophy;NcckIN:sQ�N�l\yr�,gpgf�v N�{���e.Doing Justice: Three Essays On Walter Benjamin Pablo Oyarzun 9781509541980 9781509534500 1509534504B82 &Otf[�S��_�Tf[ �historical western philosophy �Tf[ �&Otf[�T?e�lf[Philosophy, Ethics And Politics Paul Ricoeur 9781509534517 9780730385394 0730385396self/help special topics g(u�O�_�OckNUseful Belief Revised N Chris Helder 2020-04-21 2020-06-18 9781119716211 1119716217digital cameras & photography sO�� T8I/850DGP�N$Canon Eos Rebel T8i/850d For DummiesJulie Adair King 2020-08-07gGet the photos of your dreams with your canon dslr photographers who desire full control over all aspects of their images turn to digital slr cameras to fill their needs.

Coombes and ruth b. Phillips museum transformations: decolonization and democratization addresses contemporary approaches to decolonization, greater democratization, and revisionist narratives in museum exhibition and program development around the world. The text explores how museums of art, history, and ethnography responded to deconstructive critiques from activists and poststructuralist and postcolonial theorists, and provided models for change to other types of museums and heritage sites. The volume's first set of essays discuss the role of the museum in the narration of difficult histories, and how altering the social attitudes and political structures that enable oppression requires the recognition of past histories of political and racial oppression and colonization in museums. Subsequent essays consider the museum's new roles in social action and discuss experimental projects that work to change power dynamics within institutions and leverage digital technology and new media. 9780745697864 0745697860sociology of economics"��[WealthEconomy And SocietyYuval Elmelech 9780745697871 9781509513789 1509513787>yOD�,gSocial Capital Joonmo SonSocial capital is a principal concept across the social sciences and has readily entered into mainstream discourse. In short, it is popular. However, this popularity has taken its toll. Social capital suffers from a lack of consensus because of the varied ways it is measured, defined, and deployed by different researchers. It has been put to work in ways that stretch and confuse its conceptual value, blurring the lines between networks, trust, civic engagement, and any type of collaborative action. This clear and concise volume presents the diverse theoretical approaches of scholars from marx, coleman, and bourdieu to putnam, fukuyama, and lin, carefully analyzing their commonalities and differences. Joonmo son categorizes this wealth of work according to whether its focus is on the necessary preconditions for social capital, its structural basis, or its production. He distinguishes between individual and collective social capital (from shared resources of a personal network to pooled assets of a whole society), and interrogates the practical impact social capital has had in various policy areas (from health to economic development). 9781509513796 9781509541218 1509541217l;N�S�[�1u;NIN:�[�vtQw��Tp�=�/Democracy< Against Liberalism: Its Rise And FallAviezer Tucker 9781509541201 9781119691228 1119691222�_eu�p\O������ZSOq��R�v�mqN@\b��v"��RV{euDIgnore The Hype: Financial Strategies Beyond The Media-driven Mayhem Brian Perry 2020-08-14QThis book's goal is 3-fold: 1) to enhance awareness of the difference between long-term investing and short-term trading; 2) to help individual investors filter the information overload that volatile markets and the financial media subject them to; and 3) to provide a toolkit based upon empirical academic research which can provide a foundation for long-term investment success.

But such a future for natural gas is by no means certain. In this timely volume, mike bradshaw and tim boersma offer a sober and balanced assessment of a global gas industry whose fortunes hang in the balance. They examine the emergence of shale gas in north america and assesses the prospects for a wider shale gas revolution. Russia's key role in global gas markets, is also explored, both in terms of the geopolitics of russia-eu gas relations and the prospects for expanded russian exports to the asia-pacific region. The exploitation of unconventional gas reserves and the expansion of liquefied natural gas (lng) production capacity has indeed heralded a new age of plentiful and affordable natural gas. Yet, as the authors ably show, gas will not realise its potential unless it can displace coal in future energy demand growth in asia and overcome the many geopolitical challenges that will shape its ongoing role in the global energy system. 9780745659978 1509528350 9781522599746 1522599746D93/97T�V�l�_l;N�V�[�v�NT�Q�[�gN�v�{�|�~��etQ�vxvz�T:gO^Internet Censorship And Regulation Systems In Democracies: Emerging Research And Opportunities5Advances In Information Security, Privacy, And Ethics#Nikolaos Koumartzis; Andreas Veglis Igi Global�As the internet has been regulated from its conception, many widespread beliefs regarding internet freedom are actually misconceptions.

The trump administrations attack on the legacy of the civil rights movement is undermining americas claims to be a multi-racial democracy. This moment of peril has worrying parallels with a previous era of american history. The gains of the reconstruction era after the civil war, which saw african americans given full democratic rights, were totally reversed within a generation. There is a serious risk that the advances of the civil rights era - the second reconstruction - will go the same way unless we learn from the past and appreciate that american democracy has never been a story of linear progress. Skilfully analysing the similarities - and the differences - between the 1870s and the 2010s, johnson outlines a political strategy for avoiding a disastrous repetition of history in in the twilight of the second reconstruction. 9781509538348 9780745692029 0745692028!sociology of organizations & work �yl�R�]N�e N3z�['`�e�N�%Immigrant Labor And The New PrecariatImmigration And Society Ruth MilkmancImmigration has been a contentious issue for decades, but in the twenty-first century it has moved to center stage, propelled by an immigrant threat narrative that blames foreign-born workers, and especially the undocumented, for the collapsing living standards of american workers. According to that narrative, if immigration were summarily curtailed, border security established, and ""illegal aliens"" removed, the american dream would be restored. In this book, ruth milkman demonstrates that immigration is not the cause of economic precarity and growing inequality, as trump and other promoters of the immigrant threat narrative claim. Rather, the influx of low-wage immigrants since the 1970s was a consequence of concerted employer efforts to weaken labor unions, along with neoliberal policies fostering outsourcing, deregulation, and skyrocketing inequality. These dynamics have remained largely invisible to the public. The justifiable anger of us-born workers whose jobs have been eliminated or degraded has been tragically misdirected, with even some liberal voices recently advocating immigration restriction. 9780745692012 9781119690894 1119690897 /T�RO���v50y�;m�R(50 Activities To Kickstart Your MeetingsSivasailam Thiagarajan�Discover how to unleash the full potential of your meetings inefficient meetings plague even the most well-run organizations.

They shared the same literary agent, published in the same literary magazines, fought legal battles against censorship, and were both pirated by samuel roth. This is the first book to explore the resonances between the two writers, shattering the historical silence between joyceans and lawrentians. The parallels run deep between these epic figures of the literary canon, and this volume explores the classic modernist paradoxes shared by the two writers. Both were at once syncretists and shatterers, bourgeois cosmopolitans, prudish libertines, displaced nostalgists, and rebels against their native lands. 9780813068268 0813068266�literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: general//social studies|society & culture: general|media studies//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//literature & literary stud^�8^ g����N�b\+Y �W̑�h0RKQ̑�e mKQ�v�UgR�r`Furiously Funny+Comic Rage From Ralph Ellison To Chris RockTerrence T.

The second and concluding volume of carl rollyson's ambitious biography finds faulkner lamenting the many threats to his creative existence. Feeling, as an artist, he should be above worldly concerns and even morality, he has instead inherited only debts--a symptom of the south's faded fortunes--and numerous mouths to feed and funerals to fund. And so he turns to the classic temptation for financially struggling writers--hollywood. Thus begins roughly a decade of shuttling between his home and family in mississippi--lifeblood of his art--and the backlots of the golden age film industry. Through faulkner's hollywood years, rollyson introduces such personalities as humphrey bogart and faulkner's long-time collaborator howard hawks, while telling the stories behind films such as the big sleep and to have and have not.T{|�W�VfN��,NN�NXT�S�vsQf[!hxvz�T��υ 9780815636823 0815636822�literature & literary studies< |literature: history & criticism|literary studies: general//literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary reference works|literary companions�ef[�n4l�1r\pQ�T�R�R�kwmfN�Q-N�vT�kl���_Literary Drowning2Postcolonial Memory In Irish And Caribbean Writing Irish StudiesStephanie Pocock BoeningerSyracuse University Press�Literary depictions of drowning or burial at sea provide fascinating glimpses into the often-conflicted human relationship with memory.

As he moved from futurism to neoclassicism, symbolism to socialist realism, bazhan consistently displayed a creative approach to theme, versification, and vocabulary. Many poems from his three remarkable early collections (1926, 1927, and 1929) remain unknown to readers, both in ukraine and the west. Because bazhan was later forced into the straitjacket of officially sanctioned socialist realism, his early poetry has been neglected.

Focusing particularly on pope's horatian imitations, ohsumi attempts to identify the extent to which mimesis plays a role in pope's oeuvre. Horace has remained one of the central roman figures in classical tradition, and renaissance humanism propelled western european writers to explore his life and career and weave them into their own creative accounts. Poets could easily identify with horace, and they turned to him for channels through which to intimate ideological strife and vicissitudes of life, often as dislocated individuals in their native lands. While retaining interauthorial quality in his textual output, pope metamorphoses into his own independent self as artist and poet as he evinces a renewed hope for his contemporary england.'Yf[,�VfN��,�e�yf[b�,1r\pQxvz 9781421431536 142143153X!biography & autobiography / women?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdeg����hijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~� Center For Pushkin Studies James RannlIn the early twentieth century, a group of writers banded together in moscow to create purely original modes of expression. These avant-garde artists, known as the futurists, distinguished themselves by mastering the art of the scandal and making shocking denunciations of beloved icons. With publications such as a slap in the face of public taste, they suggested that aleksandr pushkin, the founder of russian literature, be tossed off the side of their "steamship of modernity." through systematic and detailed readings of futurist texts, james rann offers the first book-length study of the tensions between the outspoken literary group and the great national poet. He observes how those in the movement engaged with and invented a new pushkin, who by turns became a founding father to rebel against, a source of inspiration to draw from, a prophet foreseeing the future, and a monument to revive. Rann's analysis contributes to the understanding of both the futurists and pushkin's complex legacy. The unlikely futurist will appeal broadly to scholars of slavic studies, especially those interested in literature and modernism. 9780807764176 0807764175Seducation|teaching skills & techniques//education|curriculum planning & development:Nl;Nu;m �Ye��틌T�S�S��X-N�W�Ny��v�vf[`NTeaching For A Living Democracy;Project-based Learning In The English And History ClassroomJoshua Block; Carla ShalabyTeachers College Press�This classroom narrative explores how teachers can build and sustain an intellectually and emotionally fulfilling teaching practice while changing the way students experience school.

Belinda thomson gives a comprehensive and accessible account of the life and work of one of the most original artists of the late nineteenth century. Gauguin's work - painting, sculpture, prints and ceramics - is discussed in the light of his public persona, his relations with his contemporaries, his exhibitions and their critical reception.

If religion once seemed to have played out its role in the intellectual and political history of western secular modernity, it has now returned with a vengeance. In this engaging study, hent de vries argues that a turn to religion discernible in recent philosophy anticipates and accompanies this development in the contemporary world. Though the book reaches back to immanuel kant, martin heidegger, and earlier, it takes its inspiration from the tradition of french phenomenology, notably emmanuel levinas, jean-luc marion, and, especially, jacques derrida. Tracing how derrida probes the discourse on religion, its metaphysical presuppositions, and its transformations, de vries shows how this author consistently foregrounds the unexpected alliances between a radical interrogation of the history of western philosophy and the religious inheritance from which that philosophy has increasingly sought to set itself apart.���R�T'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,[r%m'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[ 9781680540246 1680540246Yeducation//education|teaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needspef[Ye��-N�v�N'`S���x�_���eS��.Humanizing Disability In Mathematics EducationForging New Paths8Paulo Tan; Alexis Padilla; Erica N. Mason; James Sheldon1National Council Of Teachers Of Mathematics(nctm)�Humanizing disability in mathematics education: forging new paths is about enhancing the practices of mathematics teachers by extending the concepts of access, equity, and empowerment to include students living with all types of disabilities. These students are rarely thought of as mathematics doers and thinkers, and so are seldom offered opportunities to engage in mathematics in meaningful and connected ways. Humanizing disability examines the current mindset and pedagogy that students with different learning needs encounter, and then offers strategies and practices to humanize the mathematics experience for these students. In the first part of the book, the authors lay out some key ideas about humanizing mathematics education for students with disabilities. As teachers of mathematics of teacher educators and students with disabilities, as well as with their own backgrounds as learners with identified disabilities, the authors' case and perspective are informed by hands-on episodes of their work and their own lived experiences. Foundational to the authors' advocacy are these compelling concepts: students with disabilities are mathematics doers and thinkers.�Tpef[Ye��xvz, pef[Ye��, f[u,YePg�T���O(u 9780807172667 0807172669�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups//religious studies|religion: general|history of religion%(WTN�l�/Oi`(1780-1845t^)�v�eYe`�`-N�[lb�Qe�OO�:�1u�TtY��6R%To Preach Deliverance To The CaptivesFFreedom And Slavery In The Protestant Mind Of George Bourne, 1780-1845.Antislavery, Abolition, And The Atlantic WorldRyan Mcilhenny< �George bourne was one of the early american republic's first immediate abolitionists, an influential figure who paved the way for the campaign against slavery in the antebellum period.

By juxtaposing the exilic experiences of two contemporaries who are geographically and culturally separated and yet share some of the same concerns, this book expands the boundaries of shin buddhist studies and jewish studies. It demonstrates that the integration into a new environment for shinran and the creative mixture of cultures for maimonides allowed them to view certain issues from the position of empathic outsiders. Maymind demonstrates that the biographical experiences of these two thinkers who exhibit sensitivity to the neglected and suffering others, resonate with conditions of exile and diasporic living in pluralistic societies that define the lives of many individuals, communities, and societies in the twenty-first century. 9781433170164 1433170167�^5uƉ�5uƉ�^NASt^ �,{�NHr Teacher Tv7Seventy Years Of Teachers On Television, Second Edition Counterpoints"Dalton, Mary M. / Linder, Laura R. 2020-04-28�Teacher tv: seventy years of teachers on television, second edition examines some of the most influential teacher characters presented on television from the earliest sitcoms to contemporary dramas and comedies.

Far less often discussed are the twelve cold war novels he published, after an eleven-year hiatus as a screenwriter, between 1951 and 1981. This study argues that his entire corpus manifests late modernism's impulse toward a broadly social, political, and cultural critique of the times. Ambler's fiction from the mid-1950s onward is also remarkable for its ludic turn as he assesses the self-deceptions of an increasingly bureaucratized and media-focused world blind to its own follies. In these later works can be seen elements of what has come to be known as postmodernism, though in his commitment to chronicling the juggernaut of modernity he remains a uniquely independent witness of what is now being called the long twentieth century. 9780520298682 0520298683�NM�8nb�'`+R�YUOQX �b�N�v�~O�e_The Mating Game#How Gender Still Shapes How We Date Lamont, Ellen 2020-02-18�Despite enormous changes in patterns of dating and courtship in twenty-first-century america, contemporary understandings of romance and intimacy remain firmly rooted in age-old assumptions of gender difference.

But until now the region which is wyoming's last frontier has not received comprehensive treatment. This new study examines the big horn basin during its frontier period.Isolated by indian lands and impassable natural barriers, the big horn basin remained a frontier for years after the frontier faded from other western regions. The indian treaties of 1868 had left the basin effectively encircled by crow, sioux, and shoshoni indians. The yellowstone cordillera, big horn river and wind river cut off travel on the west, east and south. Secluded and remote, the big horn basin attracted only the most rugged and foolhardy, giving it a history distinct in the american saga. Trail breakers, fur traders and gold seekers, the first to open the basin to settlement, are each highlighted. The efforts of jedediah smith, charles kemble, william gordon, robert campbell, william ashley and others were the first to blaze routes into the basin for fur trade. 9780815636878 0815636873�politics & government//politics & government|international relations//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|middle eastern history//politics & government|political science & theory//history & archaeology|history|history: earliest times ��tl;N��W�S�v�Ra�Ǐ!nWatermelon DemocracyEgypt's Turbulent Transition<Modern Intellectual And Political History Of The Middle EastJoshua Stacher�In egypt, something that fails to live up to its advertised expectations is often called a watermelon: a grand promise that later turns out to be empty talk.

It places prominence on persistent racialized violence in the lives of black americans as influential in how black people in the u.S. And abroad perceive themselves as black in juxtaposition to their perceptions of white people and other people of color. An absence of understanding of the often-masked role of violence in the lives of black people increases the likelihood of reproducing it. The author offers a reformulation of racial identity theory to examine the construction of manichaeism in people and societies, and how meaningful engagement that confronts the violence is vital to psychological development, though this engagement also is not without dire risks. 9783030135966>���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,&Ofe'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,��wt�]'Yf[ 9781138330818 1138330817 N�e>yO�v�SU\h���/The Development Trajectory Of Eastern Societies Zhao Jiaxiang 2020-04-091150In the four volumes of the development trajectory of eastern societies and the theories and practices of socialism, the author re-examines marx and engels theories on the development trajectory of eastern societies by integrating theoretical analysis of marxist theories and an historical investigation of socialist revolution and socialist construction around the world.Pointing out the guiding significance of five aspects of the basic principles of marxism for studying how eastern societies develop, this volume interrogates various assumptions that have prevailed in academia, addresses unexplained topics and offers insight into the understanding of these basic principles.

To maximize the effectiveness of their efforts and investments, program leaders and policymakers need research-based evidence to inform program design, implementation, and evaluation. With the goal of addressing this knowledge need, this volume presents a collection of research studies that examine several categories and variations of college promise programs. These theoretically grounded empirical investigations use varied data sources and analytic techniques to examine the effects of college promise programs that have different design features and operate in different places. Individually and collectively, the results of these studies have implications for the design and implementation of promise programs if these programs are to create meaningful improvements in attainment for people from underserved groups.Ye���vsQf[!h,:g�g�Sxvz�NXT�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[47 9780813064499 081306449X�bisac category: social science | gender studies / social science | anthropology | cultural & social / social science | sociology of religion / religion | christianity | history�$R \͑��N�e��>m �7u'`l(��TYs|<\�RqQ�T�V�v�|^yCgZ?e�lNegotiating Respect^Pentecostalism, Masculinity, And The Politics Of Spiritual Authority In The Dominican RepublicBrendan Jamal Thornton288�Caribbean studies association barbara t.

Different temporalities interact dynamically; sometimes they coexist tensely, sometimes they clash violently. In this innovative volume, editors dan edelstein, stefanos geroulanos, and natasha wheatley bring together essays that challenge how we interpret history by focusing on the nexus of two concepts "power" and "time" as they manifest in a wide variety of case studies. Analyzing history, culture, politics, technology, law, art, and science, this engaging book shows how "temporal regimes" are constituted through the shaping of power in historically specific ways. Power and time includes seventeen essays on wide variety of subjects: human rights; sovereignty; islamic, european, and indian history; slavery; capitalism; revolution; the supreme court; and even the manson family. 9780268103507 026810350X�bisac category: philosophy | movements | phenomenology / philosophy | history & surveys | modern / philosophy | movements | existentialism�|^y�sa�f[The Phenomenology Of Spirit(G.

Yet the extent of this progress, argues martin duberman, has been more broad and conservative than deep and transformative. One of the most renowned historians of the american left and the lgbtq movement, as well as a pioneering social-justice activist, duberman reviews the half century since stonewall with an immediacy and rigor that informs and energizes. He revisits the early gay movement and its progressive vision for society and puts the left on notice as failing time and again to embrace the queer potential for social transformation. Acknowledging the elimination of some of the most discriminatory policies that plagued earlier generations, he takes note of the cost the sidelining of radical goals on the way to achieving more normative inclusion. 9780520298866 9783487155197 3487155192aS\����QKQ�1824-1910t^ ��T���k!��PNZSir��CCarl Reinecke (1824  1910) Und Das Leipziger Musikleben Seiner ZeitRHochschule F�r Musik Und Theater "felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig - Schriften138Ute Schwab, Stefan Sch�nknecht, Thomas Schipperges (hg.)�Mit carl reineckes tod am 10.

Uscinski�Conspiracy theorizing (or what richard hofstadter famously called the paranoid style) is an enduring part of american politics. For such a common feature of the political landscape, there is little consensus on why conspiratorial beliefs blossom. This is not for want of attention; large literatures have addressed the phenomenon. For example, some argue that the causes of conspiracy theories are psychological, stemming from cognitive quirks, authoritarian personality traits, or psychopathologies. Sociological arguments contend that group dynamics and social status drive conspiracy theorizing. Political scientists argue that institutional power (or lack thereof) drives people to adopt conspiracy theories. Philosophers, on the other hand, argue that conspiracy theories gain traction because of their unique epistemological features, which allow beliefs to prosper without standards of evidence. 9781538121191���R�T'Yf[,���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[ 9781978704503 197870450X�_�l0#W�kN�Nf:�egWl��R)R)R�v�r*Y�[Ye6R�^N�~NmL�:NjTorah, Temple, And Transaction: Jewish Religious Institutions And Economic Behavior In Early Roman Galilee Alex J. Ramos�In this book, alex j. Ramos examines production, consumption, and transaction in the regional economy of galilee during the early roman period. Drawing on literary sources-including biblical texts, josephus, and the mishnah-and archaeological evidence, he assesses the ways that the roman and herodian states, settlement patterns, and jewish religious obligations would have shaped household economic behavior. Approaching the topic through new institutional economics, ramos considers the role of state institutions of administration and taxation and religious institutions derived from the torah and the temple in structuring for galilean jews the incentives, priorities, and costs of economic decision making. In contrast to classical economic assumptions of what is economically "rational" behavior, he considers the ways that the laws of the torah defined the bounds of rational and socially permissible approaches to economic production, consumption, and transaction. 9780367474386 0367474387'economics/ finance/ business & industry�[Ye^:WSThe Marketization Of Religion2Edited By Fran�ois Gauthier And Tuomas Martikainen138=The marketization of religion provides a novel theoretical understanding of the relationship between religion and economy of today s world. A major feature of today's capitalism is  marketization . While the importance that economics and economics-related phenomena have acquired in modern societies has increased since the consumer and neoliberal revolutions and their shock waves worldwide, social sciences of religion are still lagging behind acknowledging the consequences of these changes and incorporating them in their analysis of contemporary religion.Religion, as many other social realities, has been traditionally understood as being of a completely different nature than the market. Like oil and water, religion and the market have been mainly cast as indissoluble into one another. Even if notions such as the marketization, commoditization or branding of religion and images such as the religious and spiritual marketplace have become popular, some of the contributions aligned in this volume show how this usage is mostly metaphorical, and at the very least problematic. 9780367514372 9780826501363 0826501362�[~bnfW�~{v�e���V�sŖ���N ��f�eHr,g�,{�NHr ��e �^In Search Of Providence: Transnational Mayan Identities, Updated Edition (second Edition, New)Patricia FoxenVanderbilt University Press376KIn the mid-1990s, patricia foxen traveled back and forth between the guatemalan highlands and providence, rhode island, to understand the migration paths of k'iche' mayan indians who had fled t< he guatemalan civil war to work in the factories and fisheries of new england.

Putting policy documents and presidential addresses into conversation with previously unmined personal letters, diaries, local media coverage, and antinuclear ephemera, bishop demonstrates that the nuclear crisis years of 1957 to 1963 were not just pivotal for the history of international relations but were also a transitional moment in the social histories of the white middle class and american fatherhood. During this era, public concerns surrounding civil defense shaped private family conversations, and the fallout shelter emerged as a site at which ideas of nationhood, national security, and masculinity collided with the complex reality of trying to raise and protect a family in the nuclear age.

As they explored divergent but overlapping understandings of what mystical experience might be, these authors rejected claims that modernity's celebration of the secular and rational left no place for the mystical; rather, they countered, sensitivity to a greater reality could both establish and validate personal agency, and was integral to their identities as modern women. Their preoccupations with the dynamism of human connection drew on prevailing ideas of "vital energy" or "life force" developed by arthur schopenhauer and henri bergson in ways that channeled modernity's erotic energy of change. 9780128204696 0128204699social sciences �[��>yO�_tf[�vۏU\*Advances In Experimental Social Psychology62Gawronski, Bertram354OThe advances in experimental social psychology series is the premier outlet for reviews of mature, high-impact research programs in social psychology.

The author argues that there is a subcategory of narrative representations that provide moral knowledge regardless of their categorisation as fiction or non-fiction, and which therefore can be employed as a means of moral improvement. Mcgregor applies this narrative ethics to the criminology of inhumanity, including both crimes against humanity and terrorism. Expanding on the methodology of narrative criminology, he demonstrates that narrative representations can be employed to evaluate responsibility for inhumanity, to understand the psychology of inhumanity, and to undermine inhumanity - and are thus a means to the end of opposing injustice. 9781786606334 9781498564816 149856481X荇eSsY'`;NIN�Tf[:�Ǐ-N��vG�͑�e`��]_N�V�~mTranscultural Feminist Philosophy: Rethinking Difference And Solidarity Through Chinese - American Encounters>Feminist Strategies: Flexible Theories And Resilient Practices Yuanfang Dai�Questions about difference are at the heart of many debates within contemporary feminism in the united states. In transcultural feminist philosophy: rethinking difference and solidarity through chinese-american encounters, yuanfang dai critically assesses various approaches to the feminist difference critique, arguing that the fact that women experience gender oppression in different forms d< ue to different social and cultural locations does not lead to the conclusion that it is impossible to generalize women's experiences. She thus proposes that we can construct a category of women that captures and respects differences among women and the possibility and the dynamics of what women can be in the future. To challenge the troubling ideology of multiculturalism and its institutionalization, dai advances the claims of multicultural feminism and the postcolonial feminist critique by arguing that we need to reconceptualize not only culture, but also need to rethink multiculturalism as a framework. 9781538120712 1538120712я�N#W�N�SM|��xQ.Historical Dictionary Of The Latter-day SaintsHHistorical Dictionaries Of Religions, Philosophies, And Movements Series!Thomas G.

Studies In History, Memory And Politics29Aupienko, AleksanderThe book offers a wide perspective on the history of the capital of the kingdom of poland. The kingdom was a small part of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, which passed under the rule of the russian tsars. The book presents the life of the streets, squares and parks, special events, the changing infrastructure and the rise of consumerism. It describes how warsaw became a monumental capital in a short period of 1815 1830. The main plot of the book is the political dimension of the space: publicly expressed sympathies and aversions towards politicians, rising control and russification, acts of loyalty and anti-russian demonstrations to regain hegemony in the early 1860s. The author reflects on the question if the modern definitions of the public space can be applied to a historic city. 9781978707382 197870738X�OWN^y�vb_a�Paul And The Image Of GodChris Kugler; N T Wright284�In this book, chris kugler situates paul's imago dei theology within the complex and contested context of second-temple judaism and early christianity in the greco-roman world. He argues that paul adapted the jewish wisdom and middle platonic traditions regarding divine intermediaries so as to present the preexistent jesus as the cosmogonical image of god (according to which adam himself was made) and toward which the whole of humanity was destined. In this way, paul includes jesus within the most exclusive theological category of second-temple jewish monotheism: cosmogonical activity. Paul's imago dei christology, therefore, is a clear instance of "christological monotheism." moreover, kugler demonstrates that this interpretation of paul's imago dei theology allows for a fresh reading of some of the most contested texts in paul's letters: 2 corinthians 3-4; romans 7-8; and colossians 1. 9781793607218 1793607214 �O�NKNMR��S�s,{Nup'`aƋ4Before Belief: Discovering First Spiritual Awareness3Emerging Perspectives In Pastoral Theology And CareBruce A.

Before belief explores the precognitive human experience of transcendence, illuminating how such foundational experiences are formative of attachment relationships with people and ultimately with god. The book proposes an implicit learning model rather than rely on freud's or jung's understanding of the unconscious, with a goal of recovering unconscious spiritual learning. Once discovered and put into language, early learning needs to be tested and integrated into life experience and expressed in committed living. The theories examined and advanced in the work are also carried through in practical case studies that demonstrate the pastoral and clinical salience of understanding and connecting people to those grounding experiences.171 9781476683669 14766836621812t^b�N�S�b63MO\�Q O���v�[tet^h�NThe War Of 1812: A Complete Chronology With Biographies Of 63 General Officers Bud Hannings399Although the american revolution ended in 1783, tensions between the united states and britain over disruptions to american trade, the impressment of american merchant sailors by british ships, and british support of native american resistance to american expansion erupted in another military conf< lict nearly three decades later.

Since these verbs typically allow for relatively free object order, it is not clear whether any of the object orders is basic or if they constitute separate underlying structures. The study reports the results of five experiments testing acceptability of scope interpretation of polish quantified objects in two object orders, using variables such as coordination, to reveal which scope changing mechanism is responsible for ambiguity. The results showed that only the do-io order allowed for scope ambiguity, however, to a different degree depending on the semantic class of the verb.

This critique-in-motion of creative figures and conceptual personae from (non) philosophy illuminates the emergence of sense in the city, shows how "transcendental empiricism" operates within it, and how the everyday life of the streets--the ordinariness of experience as well as the screen/projector of urban surfaces--uncovers new pathways for politics, experience, and relationalities.

Anthony St. Shenouda; Ii, Pope Tawadrous�The practice of continuous prayer has been known in the christian church as early as the second century ad, well before the beginning of christian monasticism. One of the ways early christians practiced continuous prayer was through the repetition of short bible verses throughout the day. While this mode of prayer did not have any specific name until the twentieth century, its practice has always been characterized by the imagery of warfare and, more specifically, the use of arrows. It was probably this that gave rise to its name, the arrow prayer, on account of its brevity and its use to attack evil thoughts. However, most research on continuous prayer only focuses on the jesus prayer, and presumes that the arrow prayer and other prayer practices are extensions of it. In this book, fr anthony st shenouda scrutinizes this conclusion by examining the sources that attest to any practice of continuous prayer, and the cultural backdrop that gave rise to these practices. 2020-06-12 9781498588683 1498588689�ǏAmL��eS�b6R:_xY�eS:'`(WbKNT<Resisting Rape Culture Through Pop Culture: Sex After #metoo Kelly WilzsResisting rape culture through pop culture: sex after #metoo provides audiences with constructive models of affirmative consent, tender masculinity, and pleasure in popular culture that work to challenge toxic dominant and hegemonic constructions.

During that difficult, painful, and confusing time, rogers noticed a lone gravestone across the road from his home in shelburne county, nova scotia. It was the gravestone of donald mcdonald, a native of the isles of lewis in what was known as north britain, who "departed his life" in 1881. The encounter with mcdonald's gravestone inspired rogers to explore the parallel processes of dispossession and how local communities are decimated by the imposition of new ways of life. In this book rogers compares the experience of dispossession suffered by nineteenth-century scottish crofters who, like mcdonald, were expelled from their ancestral lands during the highland clearances, with his own personal experience of dispossession when the fishing industry in nova scotia succumbed to the forces of capitalism in the 1990s.

Often manifested in romanticized representations of the past, indianthusiasm has developed into a veritable industry in germany and other european nations: there are western and so-called "indian" theme parks and a german hobbyist scene that attract people of all social backgrounds and ages to join camps and clubs that practise beading, powwow dancing, and indigenous lifestyles. Containing interviews with twelve indigenous authors, artists, and scholars who comment on the german fascination with north american indigenous peoples, indianthusiasm is the first collection to present indigenous critiques and assessments of this phenomenon.���R�T'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[ 9780367365462 0367365464multidisciplinary psychology�V~��rj�_tf[Reviewing Crime Psychology'Edited By David Canter And Donna Youngs�The recent explosion of research and practice relating to offending and the related investigative and legal processes makes it extremely difficult for anyone to master these emerging areas of research.

This first-ever study of contemporary canadian hoaxes in visual art and literature asks why we trust authority in artistic works and how that trust is manifest. This book claims that hoaxes, far from being merely lies meant to deceive or wound, may exert a positive influence. Through their insistent disobedience, they assist viewers and readers in re-examining unquestioned institutional trust, habituated cultural hierarchies, and the deeply inscribed racism and sexism of canada's settler-colonial history. Through its attentive look at hoaxical works by canadian artists iris h?ussler, brian jungen, and rebecca belmore, photographer jeff wall, and writers and translators david solway and erin mour?, this book celebrates the surprising ways hoaxes call attention to human capacities for flexibility, adaptation, and resilience in a cultural moment when radical empathy and imagination is critically needed.1912'YO�eingramlistchildhood studies 9781527540194 1527540197social and behavioral sciences��Yef[-N�v�k�;NIN�-N�V�v�s�rNNative-speakerism In English Language Teaching: The Current Situation In ChinaThe Current Situation In ChinaJunshuan Liu, Songqing LiThis book is the first systematic, large-scale study of the current situation of native-speakerism in the realm of china s english language teaching (elt).

Moving away from european notions of property, appropriation encompasses the many ways in which social actors consider a space as their own. This space may be physical or immaterial, public or intimate, lived or imagined.In modern empires, spatial appropriations amounted neither to a material and violent dispossession orchestrated by european or japanese powers, nor to an ongoing and unquestioned resistance by subaltern peoples. They were rather sites of complex interactions, in which the part of each actor owed as much to �� Sforeign�� � domination as to other political, social, economic and environmental factors.Cutting across common historiographical boundaries, the chapters of this book bring to light the declination and conjugation of various forms of spatial appropriation in the modern imperial age (1820-1960), taking readers on a journey from russia to china, from the united states to south america, and from the mediterranean world to africa.nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[,��wt< �]'Yf[ 9781527537910 1527537919 NLu�S��-N�v���ef[�S`6Rethinking Language And Literature In A Changing World Genevoix Nana�This volume is a blend of language and literature papers highlighting linguistic functionality and topicality in poetry, novels, translation and education.

For most of the 20th century, the western was a major american genre. The production of westerns decreased in the 1960s and 1970s; by the 1980s, it was apparent that the genre occupied a less prominent position in popular culture. After an extended period as one of the most prolific hollywood genres, the western entered its  afterlife . What does it now mean for a hollywood movie to be a western, and how does this compare to the ways in which the genre has been understood at other points in its history? this book considers the conditions in which the western has found itself since the 1980s, the latter-day associations that the genre has acquired and the strategies that more recent westerns have developed in response to their changed context. 9780128233627 0128233621�]N�^�����{Kb�Q)Industrial Construction Estimating ManualStorm, Kenneth�Industrial construction estimating manual offers a necessary reference for engineers working in process plants.

The book rejects the idea of a comprehensive right to democratic institutions, and instead argues for a minimal  human right to democracy which is best understood as an individual s right to voice. The human right to voice is a right, enjoyed by any individual independently of his or her place of residence or nationality, to be heard and supported in cases of severe injustice that is tolerated or condoned by the political community or polity of which the individual is a member.VScholars, institutes, libraries (political science, political philosophy, law, ethics) 9781509518470 1509518479social philosophy�eP��RXTInfinite MobilizationPeter Sloterdijk�The core of what we refer to as 'the project of modernity' is the idea that human beings have the power to bring the world under their control, and hence it is based on a 'kinetic utopia' the movement of the world as a whole reflects the implementation of our plans for it. But as soon as the kinetic utopia of modernity is exposed, its seemingly stable foundation cracks open and new problems appear: things don't happen according to plan because as we actualize our plans, we set in motion other things that we didn't want as unintended side-effects. We watch with mounting unease as the self-perpetuating side-effects of modern progress overshadow our plans, as a foreign movement breaks off from the very core of the modern project supposedly guided by reason and slips away from us, spinning out of control. What looked like a steady march towards freedom turns out to be a slide into an uncontrollable and catastrophic syndrome of perpetual mobilization. 9781509518487medical history 9781527540934 1527540936�S��_t͋xQ:�[�Nv^^��Qzz �egThe Bilingual Mental LexiconThey Did Not Come From Nowhere Longxing WeiCThis book proposes the bilingual lemma activation model as a method for exploring the nature and activity of the bilingual mental lexicon in both speech production and language acquisition.

To test this model, the book analyzes bilingual speech data from naturally occurring intrasentential code-switching instances involving various language pairs.A second claim of this model is that code-switching naturally occurs because certain lemmas underlying some particular lexical items stored in the bilingual mental lexicon are language-specific, and such lemmas are in contact in bilingual speech..Professional & vocational; general (us: trade)53Food & Agriculture Organization=Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations (fao)141"�T�NT{|�VfN��, ?eV{xvz�S6R�[:g�g, �QgrnN�{t�S�[‰xvzKN(u 9782503584218 2503584217religion & theology / judaism �r*Y�N�T�WcwYe�_�v�e�N&Juda�sme Et Christianisme Au Moyen �ge,Juda�sme Ancien Et Origines Du Christianisme M-a Vannier�Les rapports entre juda�sme et christianisme au moyen �ge ont �t� souvent pr�sent�s comme conflictuels.

Brown-In this unique and original study, joshua brown seeks to demonstrate the fruitfulness of chinese philosophy for christian theology by using confucianism to reread, reassess, and ultimately expand the christology of the twentieth-century catholic theologian hans urs von balthasar. Taking up the critically important confucian idea of xiao (filial piety), brown argues that this concept can be used to engage anew balthasar s treatment of the doctrine of christ s filial obedience, thus leading us to new christological insights. To this end, brown first offers in-depth studies of the early confucian idea of xiao and of balthasar s christology on their own terms and in their own contexts. The author then proposes that confucianism affirms certain aspects of balthasar s insights into christ s filial obedience. 9781527541139 1527541134 ͋GlV{eu�W�� ��N�cؚ��\O:N����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Y틄v,{�N��`N�_�peW[ � O�d�T�eSdVocabulary Strategy Training To Enhance Second Language Acquisition In English As A Foreign Language#Digital, Communication, And CultureMaria Pilar Agustin Llach�This volume brings together three important aspects within strategy studies.

To understand how these women writers understood and reframed the discussion about melancholy and women�� "!s experience of suffering in their art, it turns to the twentieth-century french feminist theorist julia kristeva, whose radical work on melancholy in black sun: depression and melancholia (1989) provides an alternative psychoanalytic perspective for considering melancholy discourse created by women experiencing alienation, depression, and anguish in earlier periods. Kristeva offers a theoretical lens for understanding loss as a significant and ongoing perspective on life experience that finds expression through art and language. This text argues that early women writers created a new expressive mode, revising existing models to account for their own losses during a time of cultural and political transitioning in england. 9783030427375 3030427374 media designꏯe<\Ee�N�p�TpeW[S ,{2HrDisney StoriesGetting To DigitalKrystina Madej; Newton Lee�The second edition of disney stories: getting to digital will be of interest to lovers of disney history and also to lovers of hollywood history in general.

Through discussions informed by the humanities, arts, social and natural sciences, the book deals with the way different disciplines approach this relationship. These diverse perspectives are compared to enable a cross-cutting analysis of human/nature interface throughout history. Changes forced by the utilization of resources and habitats, as well as climate changes are analysed and discussed, enhancing the importance of a multifaceted approach for a better understanding of the complexity of both the human/world relationship and diverse interspecies connections and impacts. 9781527542518 1527542513?Q�z0�zt^�T*geg:荇eSƉ҉@Children, Childhood, And The Future: Cross-cultural PerspectivesKAndrea Kleeberg-niepage, Yaw Ofosu-kusi, Sandra Rademacher, Michael Tressat�Although most of the world�� "!s children live in the global south, much of the corpus of scientific knowledge which forms the basis of the current notion of �� Sgood childhood�� � worldwide is drawn from research on western, middle-class children.

No principality was more affected by these impulses than france under its king, louis ix or "saint louis." the monarch surrounded himself with gifted, energetic moralists to carry out his efforts. Servant of the crown and steward of the church explores the career of one of the most influential of king louis s reformers, philippe of cahors. Born into a bourgeois family dwelling on the periphery of the medieval kingdom of france, philippe rose through the ecclesiastical hierarchy to the office of judge. There he came to the attention of royal administrators, who recommended him for the king s service. He ascended rapidly, and was eventually entrusted with the royal seal, effectively constituting him the chancellor of the kingdom, the highest member of the royal administration. 9781487524616)���R�T'Yf[,���R�T'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[ 9781527540903 1527540901L2�Q\Oċ0O����_eu�v�b�Q�b�]��e,gpeW[�~Nm-N�vsY'`�T�R�R�R6L2 Writing Assessment: The Neglected Skill Of Spelling*Women And Labor In Japan's Digital Economy Elena Kkese 2019-11-11�When severe reading and spelling problems are not detected at an early stage in the school context, students may not be able to overcome them even in adulthood. Such problems in the worst cases may lead to developmental dyslexia or developmental dysorthographia, which are severe learning disabilities. Early intervention, though, can prevent these problems. Consequently, involving students in an active writing programme and providing them with ample opportunities to use spelling words in frequent writing can be the answer to such an inquiry. Meaningful writing can further facilitate spelling acquisition since in this manner, they can gain control over their work and learn to focus on the writing process and not exclusively on the final product. The book addresses these issues in order to help educators and clinicians identify such problems early, while it also acts as a practical guide to instruction and assessment. 2020-04-07 9781527541948 1527541940business�eS-N�v�{t�`��"Paradoxes Of Management In CultureAlexander Nikolayevich Yakupov 2019-12-30�This book discusses the problems associated with the development of musical art and education, with a focus on two interrelated facets of this.

From the eurozone crisis to the sovereign debt crisis, and from the migration crisis to brexit, the european union has found itself confronted with unprecedented internal and external threats and pressures. The global strategy of 2016 and the permanent structured cooperation (pesco) in the field of defence of 2017 are just two of the new strategies and policies to which it has turned. Whether the franco-german engine will succeed in surpassing this critical moment and trigger a deep reform of the european union remains to be seen.

However, the implications of this development are not fully understood.

This volume explores the intersection between politics and new media, which involves crucial ideals, values and aspirations, such as informed democracy, citizens empowerment and social debate, but also negative aspects like manipulation and polarization. 9781938946080 1938946081�education|teaching of a specific subject//education|schools|primary & middle schools//young adult/ children's & educational|educational material �V�[�yf[Ye^OSO N�~0W�VƖ&The Nsta Atlas Of The Three Dimensions Ted Wilard6The National Science Teachers Association (nsta Press)oThe atlas features 62 maps that describe the progressions of understanding for what students should know and be able to do with regards to the three dimensions of science as described by the framework for k-12 science education, the next generation science standards, and other state standards based on the framework.

The protection of these environmental refugees requires a different approach than that of ‘traditional war refugees’. Most environmental refugees are internally displaced. As a result, developing countries that are hit hardest by the negative effects of climate change, also have to deal with high numbers of internally displaced persons. These countries rely on international support to be able to bear the costs of mitigation and adaptation measures. The current legal system not only offers insufficient protection for environmental refugees, but also offers insufficient opportunities for support by the international community.342Woodhead Publishing446 9781119647133 1119647134�d�[�vO�R�ib'Y�d�[ ��[MON�Rv^8T_�eP��v�SOaThe Podcast Advantage: Grow Your Podcast, Position Your Business, And Reach An Unlimited AudienceJeffrey GitomerThe podcast book is a must read for anyone looking to launch a podcast, grow their podcast, grow and promote their business through the podcast world, establish themself as an authority, capture a new audience, and more.

This publication presents a different view of trees and forests, one calling for a shift from domination and irreverence to respect and care��  even kinship.

From the oil crises of the 1970s to today's rapid expansion of renewable energy sources, every shift in global energy patterns has important repercussions for international relations. In this new book, thijs van de graaf and benjamin sovacool uncover the intricate ways in which our energy systems have shaped global outcomes in four key areas of world politics: security, the economy, the environment and global justice. Moving beyond the narrow geopolitical focus that has dominated much of the discussion on global energy politics, they also deftly trace the connections between energy, environmental politics, and community activism. The authors argue that we are on the cusp of a global energy shift that promises to be no less transformative for the pursuit of wealth and power in world politics than the historical shifts from wood to coal and from coal to oil.

Such information indicates that, whether we like to accept it or not, our conduct is often governed by biochemical agents within in the brain, an expression of our animalistic ancestral past, governed by our genetic inheritance, and all beyond the level of our conscious decision-making. 9781527541429 1527541428:N�NHNsQ�N2008t^ё��qS:g�v O�~zfga�N6q/f�v�ASt^T[Why The Conventional Wisdom About The 2008 Financial Crisis Is Still Wrong: Ten Years LaterPaul D.

The crisis was not simply created by people�� "!s �� Sirrational exuberance�� � or �� Sanimal spirits.�� � perhaps most importantly, it did not require bailouts and thousands of pages of new regulations to fix. Instead, it came about because of significant market distortions created by government subsidies, misregulation, and perverse incentives.The conventional wisdom blames unbridled markets for mortgage fraud, imprudent risks, and extreme leverage in financial institutions. Policy makers told us that the failure of lehman brothers, and the near failure of american international group and many large banks, would have resulted in catastrophic decline and perhaps another great depression. After the crisis, thousands of pages of new regulations were written to limit the types of risk banks can take and the kinds of investments they can make so that a financial crisis of this magnitude can�� "!t happen again. 9781527543164 15275431616�#zNYe�v�N�r*Y�NNw�����~��y��N�r*Y�NNw�����~��y�JJesus And The Ioudaioi: Reading John�� "!s Gospel < With Jewish People In Mind0Reading John's Gospel With Jewish People In Mind Tom WilsonGJohn�� "!s gospel is a particularly difficult text for jewish-christian relations.

However, behind their taken-for-granted threads, they conceal a considerable meaning potential that may turn them into malleable vehicles of human goals and agendas. The novelty of this volume lies in the special focus it places on the intersections of naming, identity and tourism, pointing to how names may play a role in the multifaceted process of identity-formation by shaping and promoting tourist attractions, be they topographical or metaphorical locations. The volume collects original contributions on this emerging field of enquiry that foster an eclectic approach to the study of names. The thematic focus and the several approaches adopted here will make the text appealing to postgraduate students and researchers from several disciplinary fields ranging across onomastics, linguistics, cultural and social geography, history, archaeology, heritage, literature, postcolonial studies, and media studies. 9781527544291 152754429X pencR�g-N�v:SWW��Blockchain In Data AnalyticsMohiuddin Ahmed�Blockchain technology facilitates a decentralized database where business is rendered transparent without the involvement of middlemen.

Blockchain has redesigned the way in which people deal with their money due to its effectiveness, especially in terms of security. Therefore, from the data analytics point of view, investigation of the application of blockchain technology in a wide range of domains is crucial.

Some were established authors before the first world war and others continued to write after the second world war, but this book focuses particularly on their writing between 1918 and 1939. Stella benson, bradda field, ivy compton-burnett, stella gibbons and winifred watson had much in common: they all wrote novels full of comic moments, which often challenged the cultural politics of the interwar period. Drawing on the literary and critical contexts of each novel, the essays here discuss the use of comic structures that enabled the authors to critique the dominant patriarchal structures of their time, and offer an alternative, sometimes subversive, view of the world in which their characters reside. This book contributes to the growing scholarly interest in interwar fiction, focusing principally on novelists who have fallen out of public view. 9781527542723 1527542726)Y;NYeO�v�#�6R�T���[�R� g�_9eۏ�v0W�e� g�_9eۏ�v0W�eOAccountability And Leadership In The Catholic Church: What Needs To Be ImprovedWhat Needs To Be Improved Brian DivevThe catholic church is many things: a sign and instrument of christ; a gathering of flawed human beings; and a mystery.

The italian odes have been little-studied, but provide an important gloss on charles burney�� "!s comments on arne�� "!s inability to set the italian language. Study of the cantata texts that arne set reveals that they are often pastiches which make use of the words of william congreve, alexander pope, christopher smart and others. The resulting process of adaptation and recombination re-contextualizes the borrowed material, resulting in differing emphases and changed meanings.

These ideas are contextualized within ancient community rituals, social justice gatherings, pedagogical practices, and map-making.

Schizophrenia is one mental disorder intimately linked with creative thinking and achievement. There is no shortage of eminent scientists, thinkers, writers, artists, composers, and political activists tentatively theorized to have precariously balanced the great divide between the demons of schizophrenia and the muses of creative illumination, including rene descartes, emanuel swedenborg, john forbes nash, leonardo da vinci, and joan of arc, to name but a few. However, is that association veracious in an empirical sense? if it is, how exactly are schizophrenia and creative illumination related? using new empirical findings, this book sheds new light upon the age-old assumption and goes further still in explaining how creative potential with world-fashioning powers can be channelled in individuals with this diagnosis. 9781527541290 1527541290�r*YYeN6�#zJudaism And Jesus Zev GarbernThis insightful volume represents the �� Shands-on�� � experience in the world of academia of two jewish scholars, one of orthodox background and the other a convert to the jewish faith.

People use negative sentences in everyday conversations, and they display complex semantic and syntactic properties when doing so. Crucially, some languages employ negative sentences to assert affirmative and surprise propositions. A clear example of this is offered by italian, as in: �� �e non (not) mi �� scesa dal treno maria?!�� "! (�� �maria got off the train!�� "!). This special type of negation is called surprise negation, and it belongs to the class of expletive negation. This book sheds light on this puzzling phenomenon, by means of a theoretical analysis and an experimental study. It explores the contexts, mainly syntactic, in which negation receives its expletive interpretation, and considers whether expletive negation is grammatically distinct from standard negation. 9781527542952 1527542955!(WNN���WۏL��틤NAm��k̑P�eY�ؚ���v���e��k̑P�eY�ؚ���v���eNCommunicating English In Specialised Domains: A Festschrift For Maurizio Gotti A Festschrift For Maurizio Gotti*Stefania Maci, Michele Sala, Cinzia Spinzi"This volume is dedicated to maurizio gotti, in honour of his long and noteworthy academic career.

It will be of special interest to university students of linguistics and phonetics, since transcription skills will give them a clearer, more systematic picture of english pronunciation and spelling. Because the book assumes no prior knowledge of phonetics, it can be used by anyone looking to improve their pronunciation. In this regard, it will benefit especially those readers who speak english as a foreign language. They will find a rich collection of exercises focusing on a variety of pronunciation phenomena. These exercises feature common fixed expressions such as spitting image; thus, in addition to learning to use the transcription alphabet, learners can also enrich their vocabularies. 9781527543355 1527543358D917KQ g^�2m�vP�%������>yO�l�_Ɖ҉�>yO�l�_Ɖ҉HOvercoming The Corruption Conundrum In Africa: A Socio-legal PerspectiveA Socio-legal PerspectiveAnzanilufuno Munyai:This book adopts a holistic approach to identifying what could be done to surmount the corruption conundrum in the african continent. It acknowledges the objective reality of corruption in africa, and identifies primary solutions to the issue. The volume takes a socio-legal approach in order to reveal the nature and extent of corruption, and suggests that solutions can be found simply by interrogating how society reacts to it. In conjunction with this, the book identifies and critiques constraints in the formation of a definitive definition of corruption. As shown here, although it is critical for african states to develop anti-corruption strategies, the solution to the problem requires an understanding of the significance of political will, and how the lack thereof has led to the endurance of corruption in africa.< 9781527541078 152754107X�S�s ��c"}�T�[E\�v���,{N6��kMbbsf[u5The Language Of Discovery, Exploration And SettlementFor Phase I Mbbs StudentsNicholas Brownlees5This volume offers the first fully-focused study on the language and discourse employed in historical accounts of discovery, exploration and settlement, stretching from the 16th to 19th centuries, and covering areas as far afield as the americas, africa, india, australasia and the arctic.In the examination of the discourse (and accompanying paratextual features when present), the contributors make use of qualitative and quantitative analysis in order to identify the manner in which the knowledge disseminators of the time adapted, created and exploited the language of the genre in which they were communicating to inform or persuade contemporary readers.

The relationship between sandhi and citation tones is shown to be morphophonemic, while the relationship between phrase-final and citation tones is allophonic. 9781527543805 15275438031940t^�v�e��\O�:N*N N�S`���vt^�N:N*N N�S`���vt^�N(The Diarists Of 1940: An Annus MirabilisAn Annus MirabilisAndrew Sangster�This book examines the integrity of diary keeping and selects seven major diarists from germany, italy and britain who wrote their diaries as the events of 1940 unfolded.

Despite wartime censorship, leslie and cecil wrote frank and forthright letters that show how the young men viewed the war, as well as what they observed both during training and from the trenches in some of the war's bloodiest battles. The letters also deal with the war's political context, including conscription and the union government, as well as social issues such as the emerging role of women, the role of the growing middle class, nativism, and the use of liquor overseas. R.B.

As the seventy-fifth anniversary of these cataclysmic bombings draws near, american and japanese citizens are seeking new ways to memorialize these events for future generations. In discordant memories, alison fields explores--through the lenses of multiple disciplines--ongoing memories of the two bombings. Enhanced by striking color and black-and-white images, this book is an innovative contribution to the evolving fields of memory studies and nuclear humanities. To reveal the layered complexities of nuclear remembrance, fields analyzes photography, film, and artworks; offers close readings of media and testimonial accounts; traces site visits to atomic museums in new mexico and japan; and features artists who give visual form to evolving memories. According to fields, such expressions of memory both inspire group healing and expose struggles with past trauma. Visual forms of remembrance--such as science museums, peace memorials, photographs, and even scars on human bodies--serve to contain or manage painful memories. 9780813232898 0813232899�religious studies|christianity|history of religion//religious studies|christianity|history of religion//social studies|society & culture: general|ethical issues & debates(u�_up�vCultivating A Sacramental Imagination In An Age Of PornographyElizabeth T.

Throughout the history of the twentieth century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From hitler to mussolini, fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the base of their power and popular sovereignty.This history continues in the present, when lies again seem to increasingly replace empirical truth.

Ranging from late antiquity through the middle ages, crossing confessional boundaries explores the complex roles played by saints, sages, and friends of god in the communal and intercommunal lives of christians, muslims, and jews across the mediterranean world, from spain and north africa to the middle east to the balkans. By examining these stories in their broad institutional, social, and cultural contexts, crossing confessional boundaries reveals unique theological insights into the interlocking histories of the abrahamic faiths. 9780520287921N6���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[ 9780226526164 022652616Xeducation/general!h�V̑�v}^up:���R�TWS萄v�y�e;NIN�Tf[!hsQ�Ghosts In The Schoolyard2Racism And School Closings On Chicago's South Side Eve L.

And that conversation needs to start with an acknowledgement that racism is coded into even the most ordinary interactions. Every time we interact with another human being, we unconsciously draw on a set of expectations to guide us through the encounter. What many of us in the united states especially white people do not recognize is that centuries of institutional racism have inescapably molded those expectations. This leads us to act with implicit biases that can shape everything from how we greet our neighbors to whether we take a second look at a resume. This is tacit racism, and it is one of the most pernicious threats to our nation. In tacit racism, anne warfield rawls and waverly duck illustrate the many ways in which racism is coded into the everyday social expectations of americans, in what they call interaction orders of race. 9780226703558 9780226680248 022668024X(W�Q�zKN N:�~ASW[O�T�NS�;NIN^�?e�^�~�~�蕄vb_bAbove The Fray;The Red Cross And The Making Of The Humanitarian Ngo Sector Shai M.

With a particular focus on the red cross, dromi reveals that ngos arose because of the efforts of orthodox calvinists, demonstrating for the first time the origins of the unusual moral culture that has supported ngos for the past 150 years.

First and always examines factors that coalesced to make washington such a remarkable and admirable leader, while also chronicling how washington mistreated some of his enslaved workers, engaged in extreme partisanship, and responded with excessive sensitivity to criticism.

The great russian poet and essayist osip mandelstam is forty-seven years old and is dying in a transit camp near vladivostok after having been arrested by stalin's government during the repression of the 1930s and sent into exile with his wife. Stalin, "the kremlin mountaineer, murderer, and peasant-slayer," is undoubtedly responsible for his fatal decline. From the depths of his prison cell, lost in a world full of ghosts, mandelstam sees scenes from his life pass before him: constant hunger, living hand to mouth, relying on the assistance of sympathetic friends, shunned by others, four decades of creation and struggle, alongside his beloved wife nadezhda, and his contemporaries anna akhmatova, marina tsvetaeva, boris pasternak, and many others.

Now, rob sullivan makes the case for geography as a powerful conceptual framework for seeing the everyday anew and for pushing back against its "givenness": its capacity to so fade into the background that it controls us in dangerously unexamined ways. Drawing on a number of theorists (foucault, goffman, marx, lefebvre, hagerstrand, and others), sullivan unpacks the concepts and perceived realities that structure everyday life while grounding them in real-world cases, such as nigeria's troubled oil network, the working poor in the united states, china's urban villages, and ultra-high-end housing in london and cairo. In examining the everyday from a geographical perspective, sullivan ranges widely across time, space, history, geography, marxian reproduction, the body, and the geographical mind. The everyday, sullivan suggests, is where change occurs and where resistance to change can begin. 9783035802320 3035802327biography & autobiography/music�T���v�PNKN�XPynchon s Sound Of MusicChristian H�nggi Diaphanes@Pynchon's sound of music is dedicated to cataloging, exploring, and interpreting the manifold manifestations of music in thomas pynchon's work.

From the fictional moneylender shylock demanding his pound of flesh to the wall street banker, for centuries jews have been portrayed as caring only for profit and motivated by greed. This is a construction that is allied to the history of anticapitalism. Whether medieval theologians or antiglobalist protesters, capitalism is commonly criticized as exploitative and immoral as are the providers of capital. This book tells the story of how, when, and where jews and capital became negatively stereotyped. With a new perspective, it places the issue of antisemitism within a larger ideological question, debated since the beginnings of capitalism. Is making money off money immoral and is there such a thing as excessive profit? the book shows that jews were not the sole creditors or even the dominant ones, that their history was not one of unceasing hostility, and that it is when that stereotype of jews and money is a political tool that it is at its most dangerous. 9781509532353 1509532358*general & introductory religion & theology!�TOcr�WcwYe�_�v`�`�SU\��eAsNA�~+Rĉ��v03�~�N�[hQD��nyDevelopments In Christian Thought For Ocr: The Complete < Resource For Component 03 Of The New As And A Level Specification Dennis Brown 2020-03-13�Developments in christian thought for ocr is an ideal guide for students taking the developments in religious thought component of the ocr religious studies as and a level course. 9781509532360 9788024643793 8024643790+religion/christianity/literature & the arts Xbl��N��v�_̑KQ�^yf[u;m Tom�a `pidl�kA Theological Life Karel Sl�dek#Karolinum Press, Charles University130 Tom�š špidl�k: a theological life offers one of the first comprehensive reflections on the life and work of the enigmatic czech theologian.

These interviews, however, are not just the recollections of participants they are also deliberations on the history of czechoslovakia, the fall of the soviet union from the perspective of central europe, and the values that form the czech nation. Accompanied by a wealth of photographs and a detailed chronology, the book documents the events leading up to that fateful month and the path czechs and slovaks have taken since. As the interviews and interviewers represent a diverse variety of professions, generations, and opinions, the velvet revolution: 30 years after offers a multifaceted meditation upon one of the most dynamic periods in recent history. 9781912208227 1912208229"biography & autobiography/military ���\��~_g O�-N�vRommelThe End Of A LegendRalf Georg Reuth�Erwin rommel is the best-known german field commander of world war ii. Repeatedly decorated for valor during the first world war, he would go on to lead the german panzer divisions in france and north africa. Even his british opponents admitted to admiring his apparent courage, chivalry and leadership, and he became known by the nickname "desert fox." his death, in october 1944, would give rise to speculation for generations to come on how history should judge him. To many he remains the ideal soldier, but, as reuth shows, rommel remained loyal to his f�hrer until forced to commit suicide, and his fame was largely a creation of the master propagandist joseph goebbels. Stripping away the many layers of nazi and allied propaganda, reuth argues that rommel's life symbolizes the complexity and conflict of the german tragedy: to have followed hitler into the abyss, and to have considered that to be his duty. 9781787393943 1787393941G89�eSO;m�Rpuzzles �y\id�e�1��[���#Sherlock Holmes Escape Room PuzzlesJames Hamer-mortonJoin the world's greatest fictional detective as you use your own powers of deduction and observation to break out of, or into, a series of rooms by solving challenging cases and macabre mysteries.

These essays foreshadow a number of the major themes in his life s work. The significance of these essays is enormous, not only for an understanding of the later trajectory of lonergan s own work but also for the development of a contemporary systematic theology. In an important entry from 1965 in his archival papers, lonergan wrote that the "mediated object" of systematics is geschichte or the history that is lived and written about. In the same entry, he stated that the "doctrines" that this systematic theology would attempt to understand are focused on "redemption." the seeds of such a theology are planted in the current volume, where the formulae that are so pronounced in his later work first appear. 9781487506483���R�T'Yf[,���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,6���'Yf[ 022668010X 9781776146185 1776146182�literary studies: fiction/ novelists & prose writers|literary companions/ book reviews & guides|gender studies: women|black & asian studiesv^�Q Nb�vEe�N�WS^�ў�N�YsY�v\�And Wrote My Story Anyway#Novels By Black South African WomenBarbara Boswell@Part literary history, part feminist historiography and wrote my story anyway: novels by black south african women critically examines influential novels in english by eminent black female writers.

Known at the time as the "pearl of the danube," it boasted some of europe's most innovative architectural and cultural achievements, and its growing middle class was committed to advancing the city's liberal politics and making it an intellectual and commercial crossroads between east and west. In addition, as historian anita kurimay reveals, fin-de-si�cle budapest was also famous for its boisterous public sexual culture, including a robust gay subculture. Queer budapest is the riveting story of non-normative sexualities in hungary as they were understood, experienced, and policed between the birth of the capital as a unified metropolis in 1873 and the decriminalization of male homosexual acts in 1961. � kurimay explores how and why a series of illiberal hungarian regimes came to tolerate, protect, and contain queer life. 9780226705798 9780674660069 0674660064political theory�eN6R;NINThe New Despotism Keane, John\One day they ll be like us.

His magnum opus, here for the first time in english translation, is one of the liveliest, most accessible, and most influential accounts of the rise and fall of aztec mexico derived from indigenous sources and memories and written from a native perspective. Composed in the first half of the seventeenth century, a hundred years after the arrival of the spanish conquerors in mexico, the history of the chichimeca nation is based on native accounts but written in the medieval chronicle style. It is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, seduction, betrayal, war, heroism, misfortune, and tragedy. Written at a time when colonization and depopulation were devastating indigenous communities, its vivid descriptions of the cultural sophistication, courtly politics, and imperial grandeur of the nahua world explicitly challenged european portrayals of native mexico as a place of savagery and ignorance.*���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,��wt�]'Yf[ 9780520344525 0520344529�lbS�V�SxQ׋LkClassical Telugu PoetryVoices From AsiaNarayana Rao/shulman�The classical tradition in telugu, the mellifluous language of andhra pradesh in southern india, is one of the richest yet least explored of all south asian literatures.

This massive state intervention lasted for 106 days and led to the rounding up of over 7,000 people in areas the state deemed "crime hot spots." the government justified this action and subsequent police violence on the grounds that these measures were restoring "the rule of law." in this milieu of expanded policing powers, protests occasioned by police violence against lower class black people have often garnered little sympathy. But in an improbable turn of events six officers involved in the shooting of three young people were charged with murder at the height of the state of emergency. To explain this, the host of crime watch, the nation's most popular television show, alleged that there must be a special power at work: obeah.

Big theological questions should be asked in the most genuinely helpful manner. Often, and inevitably from a human perspective, we ask questions such as "why doesn't god...?" or "why does god allow...?" or, perhaps more appropriately, "what is the best way to conceive of god through his engagement with creation?" in real divine insight and human consciousness, andrew bigg considers the logical and eschatological consequences of the pivotal union of "perspectives" in the christian concept of incarnation. The systematic approach proceeds as "according to a whole," or both theologically and scientifically relevant. We are aware, not least through biblical texts, that there is a divine viewpoint of creation. The bible says, "for my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways...For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (isaiah 55:8-9). Furthermore, "the lord does not see as mortals see" (1 samuel 16:7), and we even hear the charge "you thought that i was one just like yourself" (psalm 50:21). 2020-05-12 022671232X 9781684580095 1684580099history/europe/general�S�r*Y;NIN�v�b�b'`]w�:eg��OW�e0LNKQpQ�T�lpQ�vxQ�WHh�OResistible Rise Of Antisemitism0Exemplary Cases From Russia, Ukraine, And PolandLaura EngelsteinBrandeis University Press)Antisemitism emerged toward the end of the nineteenth century as a powerful political movement with broad popular appeal. It promoted a vision of the world in which a closely-knit tribe called "the jews" conspired to dominate the globe through control of international finance at the highest levels of commerce and money lending in the towns and villages. This tribe at the same time maneuvered to destroy the very capitalist system it was said to control through its devotion to the cause of revolution. It is easy to draw a straight line from this turn-of-the-century paranoid thinking to the murderous delusions of twentieth-century fascism. Yet the line was not straight.

Yet the world, represented at the time by the allied powers, almost did not stand up despite the magnitude of the horrors perpetrated by the nazis. Seeking justice for the holocaust had not been an automatic--or an obvious--mission for the allies to pursue. In this book, graham cox recounts the remarkable negotiations and calculations that brought the united states and its allies to this point. At the center of this story is the collaboration between franklin d. Roosevelt and herbert c. Pell, roosevelt's appointee as u.S. Representative to the united nations war crimes commission, in creating an international legal protocol to prosecute nazi officials for war crimes and genocide. Pell emerges here as an unheralded force in pursuing justice and in framing human rights as an international concern. 9780226699820 022669982Xhistory/europe/franceR ��|^yir(�:�s�N�l�V�v^y�~f[0�_tf[�T�bMaking Spirit Matter4Neurology, Psychology, And Selfhood In Modern FranceLarry Sommer Mcgrath�The connection between mind and brain has been one of the most persistent problems in modern western thought; even recent advances in neuroscience haven't been able to solve it satisfactorily. Historian larry sommer mcgrath's making spirit matter studies how a particularly productive and influential period of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century french thinkers attempted to answer this puzzle by showing the mutual dependence of spirit and matter. The scientific revolution taking place during this moment in history across disciplines, from biology to psychology and neurology, located our spiritual powers in the brain and offered a radical reformulation of the meaning of society, spirit, and the self. Tracing connections among thinkers such as henri bergson, alfred fouill�e, jean-marie guyau, and others, mcgrath plots alternative intellectual movements that revived themes of agency, time, and experience by applying the very sciences that seemed to undermine metaphysics and theology. 9780226699790 9781475854800 1475854803pef[�v���Ye^�vpef[�wƋ�YUOq_�TYef[[The Language Of Mathematics: How The Teacher's Knowledge Of Mathematics Affects InstructionBy Patrick M.

Britten; Charles Trimble� The 1960s and 1970s were a time of radical change in u.S. History. During these turbulent decades, native americans played a prominent role in the civil rights movement, fighting to achieve self-determination and tribal sovereignty. Yet they did not always agree on how to realize their goals. In 1971, a group of tribal leaders formed the national tribal chairmen's association (ntca) to advocate on behalf of reservation-based tribes and to counter the more radical approach of the red power movement. Voice of the tribes is the first comprehensive history of the ntca from its inception in 1971 to its 1986 disbandment. Scholars of native american history have focused considerable attention on red power activists and organizations, whose confrontational style of advocacy helped expose the need for indian policy reform. Lost in the narrative, though, are the achievements of elected leaders who represented the nation's federally recognized tribes. In this book, historian thomas a. Britten fills that void by demonstrating the important role that the ntca, as the self-professed "voice of the tribes," played in the evolution of federal indian policy. 9781509534814 1509534814���N>yOf[�w�['` �Y�~'`�TAm�R'`JThe Sociology Of Identity: Authenticity, Multidimensionality, And MobilityWayne H.

While this volume focuses on hasidism, it wrestles with a core set of questions that permeate modern jewish thought and religious thought more generally: what is the relationship between god and the world? what is the relationship between god and the human being? but hasidic thought is cast with mystical, psychological, and even magical accents, and offers radically different answers to core issues of modern concern. 9781684580163 022669979X 9781938769535 1938769538%fiction/short stories (single author)-N�_0W&^~p��'`Heartland CalamitousMichael Credico]Emerging from deep in america's hinterland, michael credico's flash fiction portrays an absurdist, exaggerated, and bizarre vision of the midwest known as the heartland.

It will be of particular interest to catholics and scholars of other religious traditions. Strauss had a great deal of interaction with his contemporary catholic scholars, and many of his students or their students teach or have taught at catholic colleges and universities in america. Leo strauss and his catholic readers brings together work by scholars from two continents, some of whom knew strauss, one of whom was his student at the university of chicago. The first section of essays considers catholic responses to strauss's project of recovering classical natural right as against modern individual rights. Some of the authors suggest that his approach can be a fruitful corrective to an uncritical reception of modern ideas. Nevertheless, most point out that the catholic can< not accept all of strauss's project. The second section deals with areas of overlap between strauss and catholics. Some of the chapters explore encounters with his contemporary scholars while others turn to more current concerns. 97808132304366���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[ 9780128180280 0128180285nichesꁨRS�SvQ�[‰�~NmT�g�t�� ���nc�T>yOq_�T-Automation And Its Macroeconomic Consequences#Theory, Evidence, And Social ImpactPrettner, Klaus Automation and its macroeconomic consequences reveals new ways to understand the economic characteristics of our increasing dependence on machines.

Tisch Professor Of Law, New York UniversityManhattan Institute>Modern administrative law has been the subject of intense and protracted intellectual debate, from legal theorists to such high-profile judicial confirmations as those conducted for supreme court justices neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh. On one side, defenders of limited government argue that the growth of the administrative state threatens traditional ideas of private property, freedom of contract, and limited government. On the other, modern progressives champion a large administrative state that delegates to key agencies in the executive branch, rather than to congress, broad discretion to implement major social and institutional reforms. In this book, richard a. Epstein, one of america's most prominent legal scholars, provides a withering critique of how the administrative state has gone astray since the new deal. 022669240X 9780520343191 0520343190 O�efW^\ ��eOuKN�W:�W^�oۏ;NIN �?e�S �W3�vQ�v���_Istanbul, City Of The Fearless1Urban Activism, Coup D'etat, And Memory In TurkeyHouston, Christopher�Based on extensive field research in turkey, istanbul, city of the fearless explores social movements and the broader practices of civil society in istanbul in the critical years before and after the 1980 military coup, the defining event in the neoliberal reengineering of the city. Bringing together developments in anthropology, urban studies, cultural geography, and social theory, it offers new insights into the meaning and study of urban violence, military rule, activism and spatial tactics, relations between political factions and ideologies, and political memory and commemoration. Its theoretical and conceptual contributions have implications far beyond its particular focus on istanbul.

Brouwer�Border control has changed significantly in recent decades. Whereas globalisation appears to have diminished the relevance of international borders, states have simultaneously sought ways to regain some form of control over cross-border mobility. In this process, alternative and novel means of border enforcement have emerged. What do these bordering practices look like? how are they implemented on the ground and experienced by those subjected to them? these are the main questions this dissertation aims to answer. To that end, it looks at bordering practices in the netherlands through the lens of crimmigration, the term used to refer to the growing merger of criminal justice and migration control. Relying on extensive empirical fieldwork – including observations, focus group discussions, surveys, and in-depth interviews – the dissertation examines two bordering practices: intra-schengen migration policing and the punishment and deportation of criminally convicted non-citizens. 9783447113236 3447113235�2. weltkrieg/ kriegsgeschichte/ griechenland/geschichte/ partisan warfare/ world war ii/ milit�rgeschichte/ greece/modern history/ fallschirmj�ger/ crete/history/ kreta/2. weltkrieg�XN)RL��R:1941t^5g`S��KQ̑yr�\Operation Mercury#The Occupation Of Crete In May 1941 Peleus (93)93Richter, Heinz A.

The churches flourished especially in southern and western states, including oklahoma. In this compelling history, historian w. David baird examines the key characteristics, individuals, and debates that have shaped the churches of christ in oklahoma from the early nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Baird's narrative begins with an account of the stone-campbell movement, which emerged along the american frontier in the early 1800s. Representatives of this movement in oklahoma first came as missionaries to american indians, mainly to the cherokees, chickasaws, and choctaws. Baird highlights the role of two prominent missionaries during this period, and he next describes a second generation of missionaries who came along during the era of the twin territories, prior to statehood. In 1906, as a result of disagreements regarding faith and practice, followers of the stone-campbell movement divided into two organizations: churches of christ and disciples of christ.6���'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[ 9780520300354 0520300351 �Q�['`�vQ�~:bT�V�P^:WThe Decisive Network*Magnum Photos And The Postwar Image Market Bair, Nadya�Since its founding in 1947, the legendary magnum photos agency has been telling its own story: its photographers were witnesses to history and artists on the hunt for decisive moments, and their pictures were humanist documents of the postwar world.

Leaders can easily identify the gear creating the most friction and then take action to better align that gear with the strategy generating better results. This then creates momentum to improve the alignment and performance of other gears. This approach also emphasizes the ways everyone in the organization has some influence over every gear. Based on sean ryan s consulting and training with organizations from start-ups to the fortune 100, he s found that these performance gears drive better results. 9780367471491 9781433170379 143317037Xwm NN�~KNv OGY/n�S:�l�(�l�])*Legendary Port Of The Maritime Silk RoutesZayton (quanzhou) Wang, Qiang�Legendary port of the maritime silk routes: zayton (quanzhou) is a book of asian premodern maritime history from global perspectives.

The biggest reason: they didn't accumulate those traditional lifetime stats in hits, home runs or wins that typically punch hall of fame tickets. New york fan favorites keith hernandez, ron guidry, david cone and others had the misfortune of playing before today's accepted measurement tools like on-base percentage, slugging percentage and era-plus (adjusting a pitcher's earned run average to the league norm in a given year) became commonplace. Some players were overshadowed by bigger personalities who were better able to take advantage of the new york spotlight. This book makes an in-depth case for the induction of seven mets and yankees, and evaluates many more who have been looked over for a spot in the hall of fame. Giving these players a fresh look, it uses advanced stats that weren't around when these men were playing and places traditional stats in the context of their era. 9780674244849 0674244842history / economicshQt;NIN��^�V�v�~�~N�e�1u;NIN�vދu Globalists0The End Of Empire And The Birth Of NeoliberalismSlobodian, Quinn^Do neoliberals hate the state? in the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, quinn slobodian follows neoliberal thinkers from the habsburg empire s fall to the creation of the world trade organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to deploy them globally to protect capitalism. 9781475845921 1475845928l��S;S�u�OePYe����^(u�~��Ye�� ��[��f�m;R�vS��_�S`UTransforming Healthcare Education: Applied Lessons Leading To Deeper Moral Reflection:Teaching Ethics Across The American Educational ExperienceCEdited By Philip C. Scibilia - Series Edited By Dominic P. Scibilia\This book sets the scene for the deliberations on ethics and its application to healthcare in the twenty-first century. The word ethics, in classical greek, means the  beliefs of the people the study of what is right and good in human conduct and the justification of such claims. Without a doubt this task is not simply about setting up a list of rights and wrongs. Rather, it is a discussion, a process that helps tease out the real issues and find < and teach ethical solutions to complex practical problems. The centrality of the patient is of prime consideration in this book, and the health of the individual patient is the first consideration in the teaching considerations discussed. Applied ethics in healthcare may have lost sight of what traditional ethics was trying to accomplish: a good life for good people over a lifetime in society with others. 9781475855906 1475855907�ʑNR��`�`�wS��v gsQS_�NNLu�S�SAmL�'`�vNR �,{2wSBy Chris EdwardsTWorld history is not a subject; it is all the subjects.

JacobsFrom the 1790s until world war i, western museums filled their shelves with art and antiquities from around the world. These objects are now widely seen as "stolen" or "plundered" from their countries of origin, and demands for their return grow louder by the day. In this pathbreaking study, justin m. Jacobs challenges the longstanding assumption that coercion, corruption, and deceit were chiefly responsible for the exodus of cultural treasures from northwestern china. Based upon a close analysis of previously neglected archival sources in english, french, and chinese, jacobs finds that many local elites in china acquiesced to the removal of art and antiquities abroad, understanding their trade as currency for a cosmopolitan elite. In the decades after the 1911 revolution, however, these antiquities went from being "diplomatic capital" to disputed icons of the emerging nation-state. 9780226711966 9780226701592 022670159Xmusic/history & criticism�N3�5g�T4Y�:`��eg�s�N��V�v�PNBoth From The Ears And Mind,Thinking About Music In Early Modern EnglandLinda Phyllis Austern 2020-05-20�Both from the ears and mind offers a bold new understanding of the intellectual and cultural position of music in tudor and stuart england. Linda phyllis austern brings to life the kinds of educated writings and debates that surrounded musical performance, and the remarkable ways in which english people understood music to inform other endeavors, from astrology and self-care to divinity and poetics. Music was considered both art and science, and discussions of music and musical terminology provided points of contact between otherwise discrete fields of human learning. This book demonstrates how knowledge of music permitted individuals to both reveal and conceal membership in specific social, intellectual, and ideological communities. Attending to materials that go beyond music's conventional limits, these chapters probe the role of music in commonplace books, health-maintenance and marriage manuals, rhetorical and theological treatises, and mathematical dictionaries. 9781609386856 160938685X�social studies|society & culture: general|social issues & processes|child abuse//biography & true stories//biography & true stories YeXT^�byr��V�_U_P��_ Faculty BratA Memoir Of Abuse Dominic BuccaUniversity Of Iowa Press�When dominic was nine years old, his stepfather began sexually abusing him in the faculty housing attached to the boys' dorm his parents oversaw.

Shattering myths, hortis reveals how cosa nostra actually obtained power at the inception. The author goes beyond conventional who-shot-who mob stories, providing answers to fresh questions such as: -why did the sicilian gangs come out on top of the criminal underworld? -can economics explain how the mafia families operated? -what was the mafia's real role in the drug trade? -why was cosa nostra involved in gay bars in new york since the 1930s? drawing on an unprecedented array of primary sources, the mob and the city is the most thorough and authentic history of the mafia's rise to power in the early-to-mid twentieth century. 16845801612Ariel Mayse| Sam Berrin Shonkoff| Ariel Evan Mayse 9780226693354 022669335X#literary criticism/european/generalASW[�QN�_�v;N��:�b�` �jm+o�TPg�e �11500R1500t^Subject Of Crusade+Lyric, Romance, And Materials, 1150 To 1500 Marisa GalvezSIn the middle ages, religious crusaders took up arms, prayed, bade farewell to their families, and marched off to fight in holy wars.

His new book demolishes the claim that jesus was a socialist. Jesus called on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? or centrally plan the economy? or even impose a welfare state? hardly. Point by point, reed answers the claims of socialists and progressives who try to enlist jesus in their causes. As he reveals, nothing in the new testament supports their contentions. Was jesus a socialist? could not be more timely. Socialism has made a shocking comeback in america. Poll after poll shows that young americans have a positive image of socialism.

Ortlund�The interpretation of anselm of canterbury's proslogion has a long and rich tradition. However, its study is often narrowly focused on its so-called "ontological argument." as a result, engagement with the text of this work tends to be lopsided, and the prayerful purpose that undergirds the whole book is often completely ignored. Even the most rigorous engagements with the proslogion often have little to say, for instance, about how the prayers of proslogion 1, 14, and 18 contribute materially to anselm's argument, or how his doctrine of god develops organically from the divine formula in the early chapters to the doctrines of eternity, simplicity, and trinity in later chapters. There are very few works that offer a sustained analysis to anselm's flow of thought throughout the entire proslogion, and no one has explored how anselm's doctrine of creaturely joy in heaven in proslogion 24-26 is a fitting climax and resolution to the book. Anselm's pursuit of joy attempts a sustained, chapter-by-chapter textual analysis of the proslogion, and offers the first effort to situate anselm's doctrine of heaven in proslogion 24-26 as the climax of the earlier themes of anselm's work. 9780813066523 0813066522tart/ photography & architecture|photography & photographs//history & archaeology|history|regional & national historygT�vKb�k��r*YWS�wm�n �1977 1986t^The Last ResortJewish South Beach, 1977-1986 Gary Monroe�Before the high rises, the nightlife, and the fashion scene, miami's south beach was a retirement haven for american jews.

He explores how robots and their many kin have not only conceptually connected but literally embodied some of the most critical questions in modern culture. 9783035802269 3035802262philosophy/political �e?e�^;NIN/f�NHN?What Is Anarchism?BConversations With Mehdi Belhaj Kacem And Assia Turquier-zauberman David Graeber!David graeber is not only one of today's most important living thinkers, but also one of the most influential. He is also one of the very few engaged intellectuals who has a proven track record of effective militancy on a world scale, and his impact on the international left cannot be overstated. Graeber has offered up perhaps the most credible path for exiting capitalism as much through his writing about debt, bureaucracy, or "bullshit jobs" as through his crucial involvement in the occupy wall street movement, which led to his more-or-less involuntary exile from the american academy.

What political, social, and cultural forces led to the election of president donald trump? political analyst bradford r. Kane explores ten dynamics of american politics and society that played a role in the 2016 presidential election and continue to exert an influence on current politics. The author examines both the present impact of the trump presidency an< d the future trajectories of the trends that brought trump to power. Some of these dynamics have deep historical roots, such as the cultural divide between those who define our national identity in terms of rugged individualism versus those who emphasize community collectivism. The author notes that these opposing viewpoints helped craft our national identity as far back as the 1700s. He also considers the effect of changing demographics, such as the trend that points to the emergence of a new majority composed of combined minority groups, which will have a profound effect on community relations and politics. 9783838213644 3838213645 pol060000 0��Yr 0:eg��y"}�lS萄vEe�N:eg��y"}�lS萄vEe�N'Dragon s Teeth: Tales From North KosovoTales From North KosovoBalkan Politics And Society Bancroft, IanIbidemlTwenty years on from the end of war, the status of the north of kosovo remains disputed.

Works by these queer artists have rarely been taken seriously as contributions to the theories of sexuality or aesthetics. But in before queer theory, dustin friedman argues that aestheticism deploys its "art for art's sake" rhetoric to establish a nascent sense of sexual identity and community.Friedman makes the case for a claim rarely articulated in either victorian or modern culture: that intellectually, creatively, and ethically, being queer can be an advantage not in spite but because of social hostility toward nonnormative desires. Showing how aesthetes among them walter pater, oscar wilde, vernon lee, and michael field harnessed the force that georg wilhelm friedrich hegel called "the negative," friedman reveals how becoming self-aware of one's sexuality through art can be both liberating and affirming of humanity's capacity for subjective autonomy. 9781421431475#&Ofe'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[ 9780500204566 050020456X�YsY0z�/g�T>yOWomen, Art, And Society#Whitney Chadwick And Flavia Frigeri�Whitney chadwick's acclaimed study challenges the assumption that great women artists are exceptions to the rule, who 'transcended' their sex to produce major works of art. While acknowledging the many women whose contribution to visual culture since the middle ages have often been neglected, chadwick's survey amounts to much more than an alternative canon of women artists: it re-examines the works themselves and the ways in which they have been perceived as marginal, often in direct reference to gender. In her disussion of feminism and its influence on such a reappraisal, the author also addresses the closely related issues of ethnicity, class and sexuality. With a new preface and epilogue from an exciting new authority on the history of women artists, this revised edition continues the project of charting the evolution of feminist art history and pedagogy in recent years, revealing how artists have responded to new strategies of feminism for the current moment. 9780367178024 0367178028human resource management*�zzlQ�S%����z�N�o�p�s�X N�S�_b�R�vV{euAirline Marketing9Strategies For Success In A Hyper-competitive EnvironmentAviation Fundamentals#Blaise Waguespack And Scott AmbroseEApplying fundamentals of marketing to commercial passenger air transportation, this textbook puts the emphasis on marketing principles and illustrative ways in which airlines can distinguish themselves within the highly competitive global marketplace.

In this important book, henry dietz presents an in-depth historical, sociological, and political analysis of a major latin american city in the post-world war ii period. Dietz examines electoral data for lima's districts from six censuses conducted between 1940 and 2007, framed against a backdrop of extensive demographic data for the city, to trace the impact of economic collapse and extended insurgency on lima and its voters. Urbanization in lima since world war ii has at times been rapid, violent, and traumatic, and has resulted in marked social inequalities. Dietz looks at how equity across the city has not in general improved; lima is today segregated both spatially and socially. Dietz asks if and how a high degree of segregation manifests itself politically as well as socially and spatially. 9780674987289 0674987284politics / economics 0l;N�v�N�N:ё���YUOQX �?e�l�N�S�YUO�^�[ 0The Price Of Democracy1How Money Shapes Politics And What To Do About It Cag�, Julia[Julia cag� scrutinizes contemporary democracies and offers a new approach to the crisis of political representation.

It's the pulse of the body, a power that orders matter, a strange and natural force that flows through us. Virginia woolf describes it as a "wave in the mind" that carries us, something we can no more escape than we could stop our hearts from beating. Vincent barletta explores rhythm through three historical moments, each addressing it as a phenomenon that transcends poetry, aesthetics, and even temporality. He reveals rhythm to be a power that holds us in place, dispossesses us, and shapes the foundations of our world. In these moments, barletta encounters rhythm as a primordial and physical binding force that establishes order and form in the ancient world, as the anatomy of lived experience in early modern europe, and as a subject of aesthetic and ethical questioning in the twentieth century. 9780226685878���R�T'Yf[,���R�T'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN�� 9780393714067 0393714063/bisac category: education / bilingual education/ec�eu���f[`N��v!P�[Nc�[Supporting Newcomer Students-Advocacy And Instruction For English LearnersKatharine Davies Samway Tesol Press�In this much-needed book, the authors marshal research and several decades of their own experience to provide instructional practices and activities that will help teachers develop newcomers as readers and writers of english and engage them in content learning across the curriculum.

Designed to be used by conflict practitioners (mediators, facilitators, negotiators) and those in other professions where dealing with injustice is a constant struggle, the book's contributions show that impartial parties can be advocates for justice. In this engaging collection of personal stories, seasoned mediators show how they have worked to help justice emerge in or as a result of conflicts in families, institutions, organizations, and communities and across geographic boundaries. From the streets of baltimore and charlottesville to karachi and berlin, we hear of divided communities, terrible losses, relational wounds that appear to be beyond healing. We hear also of courage, compassion, imagination, and heart. These conflict practitioners are paving the way for others to see beyond conventional limits on the practice of mediation. 9781771124140 17711241487bisac category: fiction | african american | historical�e�y�e��| �W�\O �1901-1904t^ The New RaceSelected Writings, 1901-1904Early Canadian Literature$William H.

During his youth, his family were "station masters" of the underground railroad in various towns in indiana, helping blacks escape to freedom in canada. Although indiana was ostensibly a free state, the law allowed bounty hunters to recapture those who had freed themselves. Johnson's family ultimately fled to ontario.

This volume proposes that this concept is the 'encryption of power', a category of analysis that reveals the weakness of political liberalism when it takes the place of the legitimate fundament of d< emocracy, as well as its consummate capacity to conceal new mechanisms of global power. The theory of encryption of power understands that there is only a world where difference exists as the fundamental and sole order, but also that such a possibility is heavily obstructed by the concentration of power in forms of oppression. The world hangs on the thread of this entangled reality, made up of difference and its denial, of democracy and its simulations, of truth and its codifications. 2020-05-03 9781487523251 1487523254�political science \ canadian politics/ political science \ canadian politics \ public policy & administration/ political science \ canadian politics \ social policy/ environmental studies \ environmental policyR ��SNzz��:?eV{ckIN�TOSFUl;N�v�[���b�]Creating Spaces Of Engagement@Policy Justice And The Practical Craft Of Deliberative DemocracyLevac, Leah R.

But who exactly is "the public"? what does their engagement in policy-making processes look like? how can our understanding of "the public" be expanded to include  or be led by  diverse voices and experiences, particularly of those who have been historically marginalized? and what does this expansion mean not only for public policies and their development, but for how we teach policy? drawing upon public engagement case studies, sites of inquiry, and vignettes, this volume raises and responds to these and other questions while advancing policy justice as a framework for public engagement and public policy. Stretching the boundaries of deliberative democracy in theory and practice, creating spaces of engagement offers critical reflections on how diverse publics are engaged in policy processes. 9781487504311472 9780128191361 0128191368Џ��NkSu%Advances In Transportation And Health/Tools, Technologies, Policies, And DevelopmentsNieuwenhuijsen, Mark548�Transportation and health provides state-of-the-art knowledge on the many linkages between transport and health, the available tools needed to estimate and evaluate the health impacts of transport, future technologies, the developments that can change the direction and magnitude of the health impacts, and the policy and education issues that can result in better practice and knowledge translation.

The book shows how the filmmakers of the long 1960s built stories around male protagonists who felt disoriented by a world that was becoming increasingly suburbanized, rebellious, consumerist, household-oriented, and scientifically complex. The dramatic tension of 1960s cinema revolved around the male protagonists inability to navigate the challenges of postwar life. Selling over three billion tickets annually, the soviet film industry became a fault line of postwar cultural contestation. By examining both the discussions surrounding the period s most controversial movies as well as the cultural context in which these debates happened, the book captures the official and popular reactions to the dizzying transformations of soviet society after stalin. 9781487507466 1487507461�medieval studies \ medieval literature/ medieval studies \ medieval literature \ anglo/saxon literature/ literary studies \ medieval literature/ literary studies \ book & print culture����S��#W�~׋Lk:1g<\�S�e�vfN�T׋Lk#Reading Old English Biblical Poetry"The Book And The Poem In Junius 11Eriksen, Janet Schrunk�Reading old english biblical poetry considers the junius 11 manuscript, the only surviving illustrated book of old english poetry, in terms of its earliest readers and their multiple strategies of reading and making meaning.

Read in light of each other, the books of lamentations, ecclesiastes, esther, song of songs, and ruth forge a path that slowly moves from the shadows into sunlight. If lamentations and ecclesiastes have much to say about languishing in pits of agony and anguish, esther shows how the will to survive can turn the tables on evil that relies on lies. 9780875657479 0875657478Mbisac category: fiction | historical | general / fiction | westerns | generalN�NFeudist Daniel Herman�The feudist: a novel of the pleasant valley war is both a traditional western tense, authentic, fast-paced and an anti-western that tells the story of what was perhaps the bloodiest range war in us history, arizona s 1880s pleasant valley war.

The necessity of storing and processing foodstuffs encompassed political and social boundaries: food shaped identities and it was not by chance that, for the mesopotamian mindset, civilization started with the consumption of bread and beer. At any managerial level, storage practices and food processing reflect the economic organization of a society, its control mechanisms, and its interdependent social structures. This volume includes eight papers by scholars of the ancient near east, who draw on a wide range of sources and methodologies, from (bio-)archaeological evidence to cuneiform texts, in order to explore what actually happened after the harvest in the shared horizon of bronze age mesopotamia. The different case-studies gathered together here examine the impact of continuity  and crucially, of change  in the technical, economic, and social solutions that were adopted by people in response to the common needs of everyday life. 9780268106614 0268106614�bisac category: history | united states | state & local / midwest(ia/il/in/ks/mi/mn/mo/nd/ne/oh/sd/wi / history | united states | 19th century / social science | social classes & economic disparity / history | united states | state & local / general)n(��~\�pS,{�[�~�]N�W�vtQp� Yountsville,The Rise And Decline Of An Indiana Mill TownRonald V.

Threats to security are now as likely to come from armed propagandists, popular militias, or mercenary organizations as they are from conventional armies backed by nation-states. In this timely book, national security expert max g. Manwaring explores a little-understood actor on the stage of irregular warfare - the gang.Since the end of the cold war, some one hundred insurgencies or irregular wars have erupted throughout the world. Gangs have figured prominently in more than half of those conflicts, yet these and other nonstate actors have received little focused attention from scholars or analysts. This book fills that void. Employing a case study approach, and believing that shadows from the past often portend the future, manwaring begins with a careful consideration of the writings of v. I. Lenin.

Some can be seen in their original context, such as the church or chapel as the donor intended; others have been moved to new locations, often in order to protect and conserve them; others yet survive only in the notes and drawings of long-deceased antiquaries. Now, for the first time, the richness and variety of mediaeval oxford's epigraphy are revealed in this comprehensive catalogue of inscriptions from the twelfth century to the mid-sixteenth. Each entry includes the type of artefact, the dimensions where known, the materials and type of lettering, a description, the text of the inscription (with a translation of non-english text), a commentary and references to previous notices. 9780674238268 0674238265T�/gN�N�v \%N:�v�y��_�b�s|pQY�b�T�N(W�s�N���_-N�vo�Magic And The Dignity Of Man5Pico Della Mirandola And His Oration In Modern MemoryCopenhaver, Brian P.@Pico della mirandola, one of the most remarkable thinkers of the renaissance, has become known as a founder of humanism and a supporter of secular rationality.

Eberl 2020-06-25442�The questions of whether there is a shared nature common to all human beings and, if so, what essential qualities define this nature are among the most widely discussed topics in the history of philosophy and remain the subject of perennial interest and controversy. This book offers a metaphysical investigation of the composition of the human essence that is, with what is a human being identical or what types of parts are necessary for a human being to exist: an immaterial mind, a physical body, a functioning brain, a soul? it also considers the criterion of identity for a human being across time and change that is, what is required for a human being to continue existing as a person despite undergoing physical and psychological changes over time? jason eberl's investigation presents and defends a theoretical perspective from the thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian thomas aquinas. Advancing beyond descriptive historical analysis, this book places aquinas s account of human nature into direct comparison with several prominent contemporary theories: substance dualism, emergentism, animalism, constitutionalism, four-dimensionalism, and embodied mind theory. 9781487506964 1487506961Ulaw & society \ philosophy of law/ philosophy \ social/ political/ & legal philosophyON�NEx Horto: Dumbarton Oaks Texts In Garden And Landscape StudiesHardie, Alison< .Dumbarton Oaks Research Library And Collection;The dumbarton oaks anthology of chinese garden literature is the first comprehensive collection in english of over two millennia of chinese writing about gardens and landscape.

This event, known in spain as 11-m, was the second of three highly visible jihadist attacks on the west between 2001 and 2005, and the first in europe, occurring just days before the national elections in spain. Arguing that 11-m marked a critical turning point in spanish society, this book reveals how poetry played a unique role and reflected a new political and cultural sensibility defined by informal and non-hierarchical networks of communication and memorialization. After the attacks, poems circulated in public spaces in unexpected ways, creating links and relationships that were binding: they were inscribed on banners and monuments; musicalized in anthems, protest songs, and hip-hop music; reproduced on manifestos and blogs; sent by email and text; scribbled on scraps of paper and posted on walls; performed publicly; and painted as graffiti. 9780812252156 0812252152(political science / civics & citizenshipW3�vQ�v��V�bgq���V;NIN�e�N�v�VlAmerican Passport In Turkey3National Citizenship In The Age Of TransnationalismOzlem Altan-olcay; Evren Balta University Of Pennsylvania Press�The american passport in turkey explores the diverse meanings and values that people outside of the united states attribute to u.S.

Inspired by augustine's candid presentation of his own life, hal k writes about his spiritual journey within a framework of philosophical theology; his work has been compared to that of c. S.

He describes his conversion to christianity during the time of communist persecution of the church, his secret study of theology, and secret priesthood ordination in east germany (even his mother was not allowed to know that her son was a priest). Hal k speaks candidly of his doubts and crises of faith as well as of his conflicts within the church.

Using pennsylvania as a case study, christopher pearl demonstrates how a history of ineffective colonial governance precipitated a process of state formation that was greatly accelerated by the demands of the revolutionary war. The powerful state governments that resulted dominated the lives of ordinary people well into the nineteenth century. Many questions vital to the nascent american society-including economic development, party formation, citizenship, public education, the separation of church and state, and the entrenchment of slavery through law and regulatory policy-were answered at the state rather than the federal level. 9780190869953 019086995X`�`p�T{k�N���V�e��Lu�wƋRP[�v}TЏWhere Ideas Go To Die,The Fate Of Intellect In American JournalismMcdevitt, MichaelOxford University Press:Ideas die at the hands of journalists. This is the controversial thesis offered by michael mcdevitt in a sweeping examination of anti-intellectualism in american journalism. A murky presence, anti-intellectualism is not acknowledged by reporters and editors. It is not easily measured by scholars, as it entails opportunities not taken, context not provided, ideas not examined. Where ideas go to die will be the first book to engage in a serious study of the issue, at a time when thoughtful examination of our society's news media is arguably more important than ever.tStudents and scholars of media studies, political communication, journalism studies, sociology, and intellectualism. 9780190869946�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN�� 9780197523803 0197523803politics:N�NHN}Y�NZPOW�N+Why Good People Do Bad Environmental ThingsDesombre, Elizabeth R.234156�Why do people behave in ways that cause environmental harm? despite not wanting to create environmental problems, we all do so regularly in the course of living our everyday lives.

Why is this so and what can be done about it? this book identifies the mistakes china and america made in their mutual relations and explain their causes and consequences. Drawing on international relations theory and historical lessons they develop a holistic approach to conflict management and resolution. It is based on a sophisticated staging of deterrence, reassurance, and diplomacy. Minimal deterrence combined with multiple forms of reassurance and sustained diplomatic efforts to reduce or finesse key areas of conflict offer the promising pathway for america and china to enhance their security and buttress their self-esteem.Chapter 1: thinking differently about conflict management; chapter 2: imagining the worst, hoping for the best; chapter 3: american mistakes; chapter 4: chinese mistakes; chapter 5: deterrence; chapter 6: reassurance; chapter 7: diplomacy; chapter 8: conclusions; references�Undergraduate and graduate students in international relations and the foreign policies of america and china; scholars of sino-us relations and the international relations of east asia; policy experts, pundits, and officials in america, china, and asian c 9780197521946 9781107188419 1107188415ipolitical science/ law/ the courts/ american political behavior/ public opinion/ and political psychologyO�6R�lb��lQO:NUO6R�~�S�l�r�zCurbing The Court/Why The Public Constrains Judicial IndependenceBrandon L.

In the contemporary world, we see two major opposing trends. The first involves nationalistic and populistic movements. Transnational solidarity has been under pressure for a decade because of, among others, global economic and migration crises, leading to populistic and authoritarian leadership in some european countries, the united states and brazil. Countries withdraw from international commitments on climate, trade and refugees and the european union struggles with brexit. The second trend, partly a reaction to the first, is a strengthened transnational grass-root community - a cosmopolitan movement - which protests primarily against climate change.335 9780198812081 0198812086society and culture�s�N�]���{�N Modern BrazilPereira, Anthony W.\Anthony pereira introduces the country and idea of brazil, from its depiction in the 2016 olympic games in rio, to brazil's colonial past, and the country's transformation from a poor agricultural outpost to an integral part of the 21st century global order.

In adaptation under fire, david barno and nora bensahel identify the characteristics that make militaries more adaptable, illustrated through historical and contemporary examples. The authors argue that the u.S. Military often adapted well in iraq and afghanistan at the tactical level, but also displayed disturbing failures by some of its senior leaders. They conclude that the u.S. Military must become far more adaptable in order to address future security challenges effectively, and recommend ways to do so before it is too late.�Introduction: why military adaptation? ; part i: a framework for analysis; chapter 1: understanding adaptation; chapter 2: the role of doctrine; chapter 3: the role of technology; chapter 4: the role of leadership ; part ii: the recent wars; chapter 5: doctrinal adaptation in iraq and afghanistan; chapter 6: technological adaptation in iraq and afghanistan; chapter 7: tactical leadership adaptation in iraq and afghanistan; chapter 8: theater leadership adaptation in iraq and afghanistan ; part iii: looking to the future; chapter 9: the challenges of future war; chapter 10: u.S.

This book offers one of the first systematic explorations of the ways in which subnational dominant-party enclaves influence citizens' political attitudes and behaviors through a focus on the provinces and states of argentina and mexico.Chapter 1: welcome to the machine; chapter 2: dominant-party citizens; chapter 3: conceptualizing and measuring dominant-party enclaves; chapter 4: tilling the soil of an uneven landscape: dirty politics in dominant-party enclaves; chapter 5: the view from inside the machine: democratic attitudes in dominant-party enclaves; chapter 6: severed linkages: distorted accountability in dominant-party enclaves; chapter 7: stacking the deck: political participation in dominant-party enclaves; chapter 8: conclusion; references; appendixpStudents and scholars of latin american politics, political behavior, democratization, and subnational politics. 9780190919627 0190919620u�KNS���]~g��ǂ�v�yf[0�]z�Nz�/gThe Way Of Cane2The Science, Craft, And Art Of Bassoon Reed-making Arbiter, Eric364�Written by seasoned professional bassoonist and reed maker eric arbiter, the way of cane demystifies the reed-making experience for musicians of all levels.WIntroduction; dedication; acknowledgements; part i: foundations; 1.

Fionnuala walsh demonstrates how irish women threw themselves into the war effort, mobilising in various different forms, such as nursing wounded soldiers, preparing hospital supplies and parcels of comforts, undertaking auxiliary military roles in port areas or behind the lines, and producing weapons of war. However, the war's impact was also felt beyond direct mobilisation, affecting women's household management, family relations, standard of living, and work conditions and opportunities. Drawing on extensive research in archives in ireland and britain, walsh brings women's wartime experience out of the historical shadow and examines welfare and domestic life, bereavement, social morality, employment, war service, politicisation, and demobilisation to challenge ideas of emancipation and reflect upon the significant impact of the great war on irish society. 9781108729079 110872907Xteacher education/ australiaf[`NxvzNxvzf[`N�Ye���cWS-Learning To Research And Researching To LearnAn Educator's GuideAnnette Hilton�Learning to research and researching to learn is an essential introduction to developing research skills and conducting practitioner research in the field of education.�1.

In particular, they focus upon some of the interpretative issues that arise in dealing with this kind of epigraphic evidence, the archaeological contexts of the texts, social institutions and social groups in ports, legal issues relating to harbours, case studies relating to specific ports, and mercantile connections and shippers. While much attention is inevitably focused upon the richer epigraphic collections of ostia and ephesos, the papers draw upon inscriptions from a very wide range of ports across the mediterranean.

In this 150-year history of the region, michael bollig looks at how this 'arid eden' came into being, how this 'last frontier' was construed, and how local pastoralists relate to the landscape. Putting the intricate and changing relations between humans, arid savannah grasslands and its co-evolving animal inhabitants at the centre of his analysis, this history of material relations, of power struggles between commercial hunters and wildlife, between wealthy cattle patrons and foraging clients, between established homesteads and recent migrants, conservationists and pastoralists. 9783110631937 3110631938S'k�V�[�S�r*Y;NINxvz�v�S�SN�s�rAntisemitism In The NorthHistory And State Of Research!Religious Minorities In The NorthAdams, Jonathan / He�, Cordelia�Compared to other minorities, jews and anti-jewish stereotypes remain relatively underresearched in scandinavia, even though antisemitic stereotypes have been present in the north ever since christianization.

Whisker; John R. Coe�This book by dynamic scholars james whisker and john coe examines the short life of the nazi ideologist alfred rosenberg, one of the most overlooked individuals in the pantheon of leaders in the third reich. Born to german mercantile parents in the baltic region of the russian empire, he was a student in russia during the bolshevik revolution. Deeply influenced by the anti-semitic forgery the protocols of the elders of zion, a propaganda pamphlet distributed by the tsar's secret police, he carried it to germany, where he introduced it to adolf hitler. Rosenberg leaned heavily on heterodox christian writings that challenged mainstream christian thought. He revived interest in a variety of philosophies and individuals long forgotten, such as the cosmic dualistic cathars and the mystic master eckart von hochheim. Rosenberg came to view history from a perspective often called "scientific racism," which held that the history of humankind had been marked by a struggle between the aryan race and their supposed inferiors. Race was the newest subject for the application of cosmic dualism, which is the spiritual belief that two fundamental concepts exist. 9781538120477 153812047X �OW�eT����S�S͋xQ/Historical Dictionary Of The Russian Federation!Historical Dictionaries Of EuropeRobert A.

Stewardship as teacher leadership: portraits from the profession discusses the impact of changing that language to stewardship, a term that in more inclusive, more professional, and more morally-based. At a time when the work of teachers is critiqued and denigrated, the concept of stewardship within the profession b< etter supports the efforts of all teachers, but particularly early career teachers. Stewards have the best interests of the profession at the forefront of their actions. Through the "portraits" of a variety of teachers, readers of stewardship as teacher leadership will engage with and recognize how teachers are stewards as they make intentional and deliberate choices in their daily work that have lasting impacts on their relationships with colleagues, their school programs, and the profession in a multiplicity of ways that traditional teacher leadership models often miss.

First, our mental models of employment and education are still based on institutions developed in the early twentieth century, as work first moved from farm to factory and then to factory to office. But they no longer work in an economy that is constantly changing. As a result, our current work identities are, in many cases, stifling our ability to adapt to new and technology-driven opportunities. Second, long-held cultural norms have collapsed. Family and sexuality norms are changing, and american demographics are changing. Third, digitization is deconstructing the old economy. As a result of these forces, stress at work is at an all-time high. 202002WILEY 9781975503192 1975503198�[��-N�v9eۏ�yf[���e�Ye^ ��YXTObXT�SvQf[ucWSlThe Improvement Science Dissertation In Practice: A Guide For Faculty, Committee Members, And Their Students+Improvement Science In Education And Beyond*Jill Alexa Perry; Debby Zambo; Robert Crow�The improvement science dissertation in practice provides a narrative and illustration about the purpose and features comprising the dissertation in practice and how this culminating experience is well suited to using improvement science as a signature methodology for preparing professional practitioners.

The postcolonial paradigm, and the more recent decolonial paradigm, raise the issue of the universal: is the postcolonial the first phase of a new universalism, one which would be truly universal because it would be fully inclusive, or is it on the contrary the denial of all universalism, the triumph of the particular and of fragmentation? in addressing this issue diagne and amselle also tackle many related themes, such as the concepts of race, culture and identity, the role of languages in philosophy as practised in different cultural areas, the various conceptions of islam, especially in west africa, and the outlines of an africa which can be thought of at the same time as singular and as plural. 9781509540297 1509540016�Latin america has experienced a profound transformation in the first two decades of the 21st century: it has been fully incorporated into the global economy, while excluding regions and populations devalued by the logic of capitalism. Technological modernization has gone hand-in-hand with the reshaping of old identities and the emergence of new ones. The transformation of latin america has been shaped by social movements and political conflicts. The neoliberal model that dominated the first stage of the transformation induced widespread inequality and poverty, and triggered social explosions that led to its own collapse. A new model, neo-developmentalism, emerged from these crises as national populist movements were elected to government in several countries. The more the state intervened in the economy, the more it became vulnerable to corruption, until the rampant criminal economy came to penetrate state institutions. 9781509541263 1509541268>yOЏ�R�YUO�bQel;N��n� N萄vl;NR�eJHow Social Movements Can Save Democracy: Democratic Innovations From BelowDonatella Della Porta�The birth of democracies owes much to the interventions and mobilizations of ordinary people. Yet many feel as though they have inherited democratic institutions which do not deliver for the people - that a rigid democratic process has been imposed from above, with increasing numbers of people feeling left out or left behind. In this well-researched volume, leading political sociologist donatella della porta rehabilitates the role social movements have long played in fostering and deepening democracy, particularly focusing on progressive movements of the left which have sought to broaden the plurality of voices and knowledge in democratic debate. Bridging social movement studies and democratic theory, della porta investigates contemporary innovations in times of crisis, particularly those in the direction of participatory and deliberative practices - crowd-sourced constitutions, referendums from below and movement parties - and reflects on the potential and limits of such alternative politics. 9781509541270 9781509539178 1509539174l�e͑QX�qS:g�e�N�v�O�[;NIN5Remaking One Nation: Conservatism In An Age Of Crisis Nick TimothyCWhat is going wrong with our politics, and why is it happening? in this groundbreaking book, nick timothy, one of britains leading conservative thinkers and commentators, explores the issues behind the publics anger with mainstream politics. Drawing on his experience at the top of government, timothy traces the crisis of western democracy back to flaws in philosophical liberalism. Sparing no sacred cows, he proposes a new kind of conservatism, respecting personal freedom but demanding solidarity, reforming capitalism and rebuilding community, rejecting selfish individualism while embracing our obligations towards others. Only by building a mutual web of duties and a unifying sense of the common good that binds us together can we reject both extreme economic and cultural liberalism, heal our divisions, and remake one nation. 9780745672182 0745672183race & ethnicity studies��V}v�NWhiteness In AmericaMonica McdermottOWhen americans think about race, white is often the furthest thing from their minds. Yet whiteness colors so much of social life in the united states, from the organization and maintenance of social structures to an individuals sense of self. White has long been the invisible default category against which other racial and ethnic groups are silently compared and marked out as different. At the same time, whiteness is itself an active marker that many bitterly fight to keep distinctive, and the shifting boundaries of whiteness reflect the nations history of race relations, right back to the earliest period of european colonization. One thing that has remained consistent is that whiteness is a definitive mark of privilege. Yet, this privilege is differentially experienced across a broad and eclectic spectrum, as is white identity itself. 9780745672199 9781509534166 1509534164philosophy of science�NHN/f�yf[�Tf[�What Is Philosophy Of Science?What Is Philosophy?

The challenges of sustainability and the discovery of ecological limits to growth are transforming how we understand the core concepts at the heart of political theory. In this essential new textbook, leading political theorist steve vanderheiden examines how the concept of sustainability challenges - and is challenged - by eight key social and political ideas, ranging from freedom and equality to democracy and sovereignty. He shows that environmental change will disrupt some of our most cherished ideals, requiring new indicators of progress, new forms of community, and new conceptions of agency and responsibility. He draws on canonical texts, contemporary approaches to environmental political theory, and vivid examples to illustrate how changes in our conceptualization of our social aspirations can inhibit or enable a transition to a just and sustainable society. Vanderheiden masterfully balances crystal clear explanation of the essentials with cutting-edge analysis to produce a book that will be core reading for students of environmental and green political theory everywhere. 9781509542666 1509542663�^��_����vƋT�ςm�34!k NT�e�[�vr^��>A Left That Dares To Speak Its Name: 34 Untimely Interventions Slavoj �i�ek6With irrepressible humour slavoj ?i?ek dissects our current political and social climate, discussing everything from jordan peterson and sex unicorns to greta thunberg and chairman mao.

Richard tuck's ongoing commentary on the brexit crisis demolishes this narrative. He argues that by opposing brexit and throwing its lot in with a liberal constitutional order tailor-made for the interests of global capitalists, the left has made a major error. It has tied itself into a framework designed to frustrate its own radical policies. Brexit therefore actually represents a golden opportunity for socialists to implement the kind of economic agenda they have long since advocated. Sadly, however, many of them have lost faith in the kind of popular revolution that the majoritarian british constituti< on is peculiarly well-placed to deliver and have succumbed instead to defeatism and the cultural politics of virtue-signalling. Another approach is, however, still possible. 9781509542284 9781509538058 1509538054�ZSO�[�The Media ManifestoThe Manifesto SeriesNatalie Fenton'Our media systems are in crisis.

The purpose of the collection concerns starting a conversation about the practice and task of the philosophical interpretation of scripture. Reflections on the philosophical interpretation of scripture have been treated more as a "conversation-stopper" than a conversation-starter within the american academy. To start such a conversation, this collection offers substantive accounts of the role of scripture in the philosophical thought of fifteen american philosophers: jane addams, henry bugbee, stanley cavell, john dewey, jonathan edwards, ralph waldo emerson, margaret fuller, william james, martin luther king, jr., charles sanders peirce, josiah royce, richard rorty, george santayana, henry david thoreau, and cornel west.204 ���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[ 9783791386263 3791386263-^�R�z�/g'Y^Schiele: Masters Of Art Isabel Kuhl�Egon schiele left an enormous artistic legacy that is all the more powerful for the brevity of his career.

Gayford's journeys, often to rather inaccessible places, involve frustrations and complications, but also serendipitous meetings and outcomes, which he makes as much part of each story as the final destination. Ever amusing, informative and self-deprecating, gayford recounts trips to see brancusi's endless column in romania, prehistoric cave art in france, the museum island of naoshima in japan, the judd foundation in marfa, texas, and an installation by roni horn in the far northwest of iceland.

It explores how a group of ostracized female-identified sex workers transformed themselves into a collective to promote the health and well-being of women working in the sex industry. Weighed down by the old and tenacious whore symbol, the sex workers at stella had to find a way to navigate the criminality of sex work and sex workers, in order to do advocacy and support work, and create safer spaces for sex workers to engage in such advocacy. This book focuses on sex workers, but the advocacy challenges and strategies it outlines can also apply to the lives of other marginalized groups who are often ignored, pitied, or reviled, but who are seldom seen as fully human. 9781538129005 1538129000MR�s�N��V�{�S:�N�S�N0R19N�~SA Concise History Of Premodern Korea: From Antiquity Through The Nineteenth Century$A Concise History Of Premodern KoreaMichael J.

Lee|What is the church? what does it mean to be a member of the church? this book examines how the earliest christian theologians in the latin west understood the nature, ends, and boundaries of the church. By analyzing the thought and practices of figures such as tertullian of carthage, cyprian of carthage, augustine of hippo, and pope leo the great, james k. Lee shows how early latin theologians forged distinctive views of the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Lee argues that according to the latin fathers, the church was one complex reality with visible and invisible aspects that could be distinguished but not separated. God could work outside of the church's visible bounds, yet all who were saved were joined to the church's invisible bond of charity. The church's unity was found in charity, and for the early latin fathers, there was no salvation outside of the church. 2020-08-11 9781475842067 1475842066:N@b g�e�NR �z�/g:�S�N�T�s�N�ef�v�S�s�T�wƋVCreating Art For All Ages: Discovery And Knowledge In Ancient And Modern CivilizationsCreating Art For All Ages>Frances Flicker; Jeanne Richins; Jacqueline G.

Military during the american civil war. Lauded as a war hero, he later earned acclaim for his influence on military reforms, which lasted well beyond his lifetime. An account of upton's life is not complete, however, without a look into his brief, yet passionate, marriage to emily norwood martin (1846-1870). This edition of emory and emily's letters unveils the private life of a brilliant civil war personality. It also introduces readers to the devout young woman who earned the general's fanatic devotion before her untimely death from tuberculosis. Until now, only a few of the couple's intimate letters have been published. During the years he spent editing and publishing emory upton's correspondence, salvatore g. Cilella jr. Deliberately set aside the general's voluminous letters to his wife. Unfortunately, as cilella explains in his editorial notes, emily's letters to emory did not survive, but he was able to draw on the rich trove of letters emily wrote to her mother and father while on her honeymoon and during her stays in key west, nassau, and atlanta. 9781498598521 1498598528vP6q�v;`cw�W/Oyr����(WpS�^.The Accidental Viceroy: Robert Lytton In IndiaEdwin HirschmannSThe age of imperialism reached its peak in the late 19th century. The british empire was the foremost colonial power, and the keystone was india. However, even at its peak, the british india empire was beset by internal rivalries and fears of external threats. In 1875, british prime minister benjamin disraeli chose as vicroy lord robert bulwer-lytton, diplomat and poet, the son of an old friend, but someone with no indian experience. Lytton accepted reluctantly - and never enjoyed it. He was under the thumb of the secretary of state for india, the shrewd and ambitious third marquess of salisbury, during most of his four years in india. During his viceroyalty, lytton had to deal with shifting british policies, a major famine, the freedom-loving people of afghanistan, an entrenched civil service, and a rising generation of patriotic indians.���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,&Ofe'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN�� 9786164510357 616451035XN�~Nkp:�N�pS�^<\��NN^vl�\�v�~�~�TN�s�[MThread And Fire: Textiles And Jewellery From The Isles Of Indonesia And TimorLinda S.

For centuries this vast and rich environment favored local and regional exchanges, and it was only later that people visited from afar. New connections integrated these archipelagoes with the distant civilizations of continental asia: first india, later china and from the 13th century onwards, the islamic world. Finally, with the arrival of europeans in the early 16th century, global trade and connections grew rapidly.

He opened it to themes of love, nature, the world's chasmic depth at darkest midnight, making peace with death, resurrection, seeking one's creator, being at one with god-just to mention a few of his themes. Mahler's music is experiential in the sense that it contradicts textbook ideas of style, taste, structure, orchestration, and musical language, abandoning musical politesse for a more radical undertaking. Musicologist arved ashby takes readers into the seeming chaos of mahler's work to investigate the elements which make each work an experiential adventure which defines the symphonic genre in a new way. The book surveys mahler's symphonies and song cycles in detail -introducing them not as artworks but as intensely vivid, truthful, and lived and felt experiences. 9781119712886 1119712882social & cultural anthropology �_upN�|^y:�k��t��%Mind And Spirit: A Comparative TheoryHJournal Of The Royal Anthropological Institute Special Issue Book SeriesTanya Marie Luhrmann 9781683932338 1683932331 '`0�NCg�TlQqQ?eV{*Sexuality, Human Rights, And Public Policy�Chima J.

It examines how knowledge is formed and experienced at the intersections of culture, sexuality, race, and other axes of identity. The volume engages an array of questions including how public policy shapes the conceptualization of sexuality and rights and by extension the phenomena of inclusion and exclusion in contemporary society across the world. By evaluating how public discourse is employed to re-inscribe differences of gender, sexuality, and rights of citizens, the book provides a comparative analysis of how these processes and dynamics resemble each other or differ cross-culturally. The book demonstrates that in the realm of sexualities, approached from the ideal of human rights as a predominantly western notion is increasingly challenged by diverse views and new interpretations of human rights in non-western societies such as africa and the middle east. 9780300253870 0300253877 �ez� YtQ�eg�vz�/gNCg�R.The Escorial: Art And Power In The Renaissance Henry KamenYale University Press324BFew buildings have played as central a role in spain's history as the monastery-palace of san lorenzo del escorial.

Part palace, part monastery, part mausoleum, it has also served as a shrine, a school, a repository for thousands of relics and one of the greatest libraries of its time. Constructed over the course of almost twenty years, the escorial challenged and provoked, becoming for some a symbol of superstition and oppression, for others a 'wonder of the world'. Now a world heritage site, it is visited by thousands of travellers every year.

Curry bohm was a talented and highly regarded landscape artist who is most commonly associated with brown county, indiana. Most consider him a leader of the second generation of brown county painters. However, curry's career and success expanded well beyond the borders of brown county. The artist was born in nashville, tennessee, in 1894. Much of his artistic training was received in chicago. The illinois metropolis served as an important focus for his career development and an outlet for exhibitions until the 1950s. Curry permanently moved to brown county in 1930. Many of his works during the first half of his career portrayed landscapes painted in the smoky mountains of east tennessee. Later, harbor and marine landscapes painted along coastal sites in massachusetts and maine provided new challenges and satisfaction for him over the second half of his career.T{|�W�VfN��,NN�NXT�S�vsQf[!h 9780761871163 0761871160s^I{�bYb\Equality: More Or Less7Dialogues On Social Issues: Bard College And West Point�Robert E.

Putting black studies into conversation with climate change, baucom outlines how the ongoing concerns of critical race, diaspora, and postcolonial studies are crucial to understanding the anthropocene. He draws on materialist and post-materialist thought, sartre, and the science of climate change to trace the ways in which evolving political, cultural, and natural history converge to shape a globally destructive force. Identifying the quest for limitless financial gain as the primary driving force behind both the slave trade and the continuing increase in global greenhouse gas emissions, baucom demonstrates that climate change and the conditions of the black atlantic, colonialism, and the postcolony are fundamentally entwined.�T�NT{|�W�VfN��,NN�NXTyr+R/f>y�y�e�y�vsQf[!h 9781478007876 9781786304353 178630435Xtravel & tourism industry NLuT0W�v�e8n܀0WThe Tourist Places Of The WorldPhilippe Violier�Formerly a largely western practice, leisure travel is today the most dynamic industry in the world in terms of growth. Developments in transport and communication systems mean tourism is now an integral part of our understanding of the world, and involved in the exponential increase of links between societies and different cultures. The tourist places of the world has comprehensive data on the number of international visitors annually. It also includes an original map ? not dictated by country, but by major tourist areas and places. The hierarchy of destinations drawn is highlighted by the different levels of popularity and passenger flows; from the universal places where all societies meet to the still unfrequented places. Beyond the recognition of global tourism, the challenge is to understand how and why societies can achieve a better life through sustainable development, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions. 9781786606273 1786606275�S�[��Lu�:N�NHNNLu����N�v�1uAm�R<Against Borders: Why The World Needs Free Movement Of People-Off The Fence: Morality, Politics And Society Alex Sager 2020-02-16146This book provides a philosophical defence of open borders. Two policy dogmas are the right of sovereign states to restrict immigration and the infeasibility of opening borders. These dogmas persist in face of the human suffering caused by border controls and in spite of a global economy where the mobility of goods and capital is combined with severe restrictions on the movement of most of the world's poor. Alex sager argues that immigration restrictions violate human rights and sustain unjust global inequalities, and that we should reject these dogmas that deprive hundreds of millions of people of opportunities solely because of their place of birth. Opening borders would promote human freedom, foster economic prosperity, and mitigate global inequalities. Sager contends that studies of migration from economics, history, political science, and other disciplines reveal that open borders are a feasible goal for political action, and that citizens around the world have a moral obligation to work toward open borders. 9781786606280 9781978708976 1978708971�]\ONR �:�NR �0RT�s�N'`�v�Tf[xvzIWork And Creativity: A Philosophical Study From Creation To PostmodernityAndre Lacocque The bible highly praises human creativity.

In work and creativity, andre lacocque reflects on the biblical understanding of labor, juxtaposing texts from the book of genesis with the conceptions of work of psychoanalysts and philosophers such as sigmund freud and karl marx, and proposing a dialectical approach to human work and creativity.���R�T'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[ 9785912084133 5912084132�Q�['Y�T�y�N?b��,Grand And Private Rooms Of The Winter Palace,tatyana SoninaArcaqA stunning volume presenting the history of the winter palace.

Emerging capitalism in post-1989 hungary that once took pride in winning the eastern european race for catching up with the west has evolved into a reclusive, statist, national-populist system reminding the observers of its communist and pre-communist predecessors. Going beyond the self-description of the orban regime that emphasizes its christian-conservative and illiberal nature, the authors, leading experts of hungarian politics, history, society, and economy, suggest new ways to comprehend the sharp decline of the rule of law in an eu member state. 9781780688879 1780688873 �W�NAm z�v�W,gCg)R�[�g'Process-based Fundamental Rights ReviewHuman Rights Research Series88Huijbers�Courts often rely on process-based fundamental rights review.

Littlejohn�Daoism is the oldest indigenous philosophic-spiritual tradition of china and one of the most ancient of the world's spiritual structures. The name "daoism" comes from the term dao that is often used for a "way" or a "road" through the field or woods to one's village. It is also used of the "way" to do something, such as the way a master craftsman carves a candlestick, makes a bell, or even butchers an ox. But dao is also used as a nominative in the history of daoism. It is used for the energizing process that permeates and animates all of reality and moves it along simply as "the dao." however, both text and practice in this tradition insist that dao itself cannot be described in words. Dao is not god in the sense of western philosophy or religion. Daoism has no supreme being, even if there is an extensive grammar about numinal self-conscious entities and powers for which the chinese use the word "spirit" (shen). 9780367204181 0367204185health and social care�[�b'`�S�lN�S�[�NCg)R�͑�e��Ƌ'`�O�r�S�[�N�v҉r�'Adversarial Justice And Victims' Rights4Reconceptualising The Role Of Sexual Assault VictimsVictims, Culture And Society Mary Iliadis<The rights, status and treatment of sexual assault victims has emerged as a significant 21st-century concern, occupying the forefront of legal commentary on international policy agendas.

While connectivity seems almost ubiquitous today, it has been imagined and practiced in various ways and to varying political effects in different historical and geographical contexts. Often the conception of new connectivities also gives birth to new spaces of governance. The political denomination of spaces - whether maritime, continental, social, or virtual - reflects the situatedness of power. Yet, such crafting of new spaces also expresses particular imaginaries and technologies of connectivity that make governance possible. Whereas the study of international relations has traditionally focused on the role of agency and structure in power relations, the affects, beliefs, attitudes, and practices that intervene in how groups of people connect in given times have not attracted much scholarly attention overall, the detailed and original case studies examined in the book range from the 16th century, to the 19th century, to the present, and from spain, to the maritime alps, to germany, to the mediterranean, to china, to east asia. 9780252085628 0252085620Ray Bradbury*g�~�[ �,{2wSJonathan R EllerUniversity Of Illinois Press�A successful, award-winning writer on the brink of placing fahrenheit 451 in the american canon, ray bradbury entered the autumn of 1953 as a literary figure transcending fantasy and science fiction.

A growing number of speakers of austronesian languages returned to africa, reaching madagascar in the early centuries of the common era. The diffusion of domesticated plants, like bananas, from new guinea to south asia and africa where phytoliths are dated to the mid-fourth millennium in uganda and mid-first millennium bce in southern cameroon, provide additional evidence on early interactions between africa and asia. 9782503583044 2503583040�medieval & modern (indo/european) languages & literatures / comparative & cultural studies through literature / cultural studies (general & theoretical)hQt-NN�~�T�ez� YtQ�eg�v�_l��S=Paradigm Shifts During The Global Middle Ages And Renaissance6Arizona Studies In The Middle Ages And The RenaissanceAlbrecht Classen�� for a long time we have talked about the middle ages, the renaissance, and other periods, but at closer analysis all those terms prove to be constructed models to help us understand in rough terms profound changes that affected human conditions throughout time as the contributions to the present volume indicate, paradigm shifts have occurred regularly and constituted some of the critical developments in human existence. The notion of paradigm shift as first developed by thomas kuhn is here considerably expanded to address also literary, religious, scientific, and cultural-historical phenomena, to deal with contrasting conceptions of various parts of the world (china versus europe), conflicts between genders, economic changes pertaining to women s roles, social and political criticism, models of how to explain our existence, ideological positions and epistemological approaches. The study of paradigm shifts makes it possible to grasp fundamental movements both horizontally (the present world in global terms) and vertically (from the past to the present), exposing thereby central forces leading to shifts in power structures and in the mental-historical world-views. 9781786612953 178661295X �]�V�~�ۏekT��v�[�0Left Unity: Manifesto For A Progressive AllianceMarius S OstrowskibProgressive politics is facing a crisis that has been several decades in the making. The 'crisis of social democracy' in the wake of the 1980s neoliberal revolution has been followed shortly afterwards by the demise of the liberal 'end of history' since the wars and financial crises of the 2000s. Rapid increases in the size, complexity, and fluidity of modern societies have disrupted old communities and identities, and brought new ones into being to challenge them. Cultural tensions have risen alongside older economic and political divisions to the forefront of ideological contests. The result has been a very specific form of polarisation: the resurgence of the far right, and a fragmentation of the left towards the centre and the extremes. To confront this crisis, the progressive left must reevaluate its approach to ideological and strategic competition. 9781498592390 1498592392�[ў�N�e^y����v�['`xvz: +RJTɋb`O/f���y�N!

Calling someone a puritan is an insult reserved for prudes, prigs, or oppressors. Our american abolitionist forebears, however, would be shocked to hear this. In the decades before the civil war, abolitionists fervently embraced the idea that puritans were in fact pioneers of revolutionary dissent, and invoked their name and ideas as part of their anti-slavery crusade.Puritan spirits in the abolitionist imagination reveals how the leaders of the nineteenth-century abolitionist movement from landmark figures like ralph waldo emerson to scores of lesser-known writers and orators drew upon the puritan tradition to shape their politics and personae.

Through painstaking detective work into archival sources, newspaper accounts, and court proceedings, and via numerous interviews, thompson pieces together not only the story of his grandfather--and a long-forgotten gang of outlaws to rival the infamous younger brothers--but also the dark path of a cherokee diaspora from georgia to indian territory. Davis, born in 1891, grew up on a family ranch on the canadian river, outside the small community of porum in the cherokee nation. 9781945351945 1945351942�teaching of students with english as a second language (tesol)|english language teaching|elt grammar/ vocabulary & pronunciation͋GlYef[ ��O��HrTeaching Vocabulary, RevisedElt Development SeriesMichael Lessard-clouston 9780806164274 0806164271�bisac category: biography & autobiography | women / history | native american / political science | american government | executive branch / political science | women in politics g@b\O:N�b:NWW�Cg)R�T>yOckIN �bBMaking A Difference: My Fight For Native Rights And Social Justice)Ada Deer; Theda Perdue; Charles Wilkinson� This stirring memoir is the story of ada deer, the first woman to serve as head of the bureau of indian affairs. Deer begins, "i was born a menominee indian. That is who i was born and how i have lived." she proceeds to narrate the first eighty-three years of her life, which are characterized by her tireless campaigns to reverse the forced termination of the menominee tribe and to ensure sovereignty and self-determination for all tribes. Deer grew up in poverty on the menominee reservation in wisconsin, but with the encouragement of her mother and teachers, she earned degrees in social work from the university of wisconsin-madison and columbia university. Armed with a first-rate education, an iron will, and a commitment to justice, she went from being a social worker in minneapolis to leading the struggle for the restoration of the menominees' tribal status and trust lands.

TaaffeJ When the revolutionary war began, congress established a national army and appointed george washington its commander in chief. Congress then took it upon itself to choose numerous subordinate generals to lead the army's various departments, divisions, and brigades. How this worked out in the end is well known. Less familiar, however, is how well congress's choices worked out along the way. Although historians have examined many of washington's subordinates, washington's revolutionary war generals is the first book to look at these men in a collective, integrated manner. A thoroughgoing study of the revolutionary war careers of the continental army's generals--their experience, performance, and relationships with washington and the continental congress--this book provides an overview of the politics of command, both within and outside the army, and a unique perspective on how it affected washington's prosecution of the war.

They branded prometheus and daedalus as evil-doers, for 9 novelty: or 9 innovation: then stood for hybris. The greco-roman antiquity was markedly religious and political. Leaders and commoners had all to observe the sacrosanct cult. Thus, law and order were maintained, and change was precluded. The triumph of christianity, orchestrated by roman aristocracy, was to lead to intolerance and persecution even within the orthodox church.

Since then the country has undergone the two turnover test (huntington), and it overcame economic, financial, and political crises. However, social inequality is higher than before democratization, social conflict has been exacerbating, and political polarization has been on the rise. South korea s democracy has been going through a continuous stress test trying the polity s capacity to heal social conflict, integrate society, and mature politics as meeting these challenges is key to sustainable consolidation of democracy. The chapters of this edited volume, written by experts from south korea and germany in respective fields, examine the way in which south korea has coped with these challenges in its political system, political economy, and political society since its transition to formal democracy, and provide a focused critical assessment of three decades after democratization. 9783110685213 3110685213$western philosophy: c 1600 to c 1900�^�_��1r�` Kant On LoveRinne, P�rttyli>This is an immensely useful resource for other scholars and philosophers wishing to understand kant`s views on love.– rae langton, university of cambridge what did immanuel kant really think about love? in kant on love, p�rttyli rinne provides the first systematic study of �love` in the philosophy of kant. Rinne argues that love is much more important to kant than previously realised, and that understanding love is actually essential for kantian ethical life.The study involves two interpretative main propositions. First, that love in kant includes an underlying general division of love into love of benevolence and love of delight. Further, the study divides kant`s concept of love into several aspects of love, such as self-love, sexual love (and love of beauty), love of god, love of neighbor and love in friendship.Scholars, institutes, libraries 9783110543858"6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,[r%m'Yf[ 9783110685527 3110685523悾�KN����W�e�^W�e�v^yf[0ckIN�T�[�[0��O`�`The Flower Of SufferingRTheology, Justice, And The Cosmos In Aeschylus : oresteia9 And Presocratic Thought97 Scapin, Nuria�Greek tragedy occupies a prominent place in the development of early greek thought. However, even within the partial renaissance of debates about tragedy s roots in the popular thought of archaic greece, its potential connection to the early philosophical tradition remains, with few exceptions, at the periphery of current interest. This book aims to show that our understanding of aeschylus oresteia is enhanced by seeing that the trilogy s treatment of zeus and justice (dik�) shares certain concepts, assumptions, categories of thought, and forms of expression with the surviving fragments and doxography of certain presocratic thinkers (especially anaximander, xenophanes, heraclitus, and parmenides). By examining several aspects of the tragic trilogy in relation to presocratic debates about theology and cosmic justice, it shows how such scrutiny may affect our understanding of the theological  tension and metaphysical assumptions underpinning the oresteia s dramatic narrative.RScholars and students in the field of classics, philosophy, and reception studies. 9783110685992 311068599X#S�e�e�ecEN�v9ei��eg� *cZS��e�ecEN�v9ei� y��v�v,{ NwS�nf�g �'The Protracted Reformation In The NorthOH�getveit Berg, Sigrun / Heiseldal Bergesen, Rognald / Ernst Kristiansen, Roald430nThe formation of the european nation states was deeply affected by the reformation processes during the 16th century.

In doing so it accounts for trajectories from individual and small groups with local, territorial, physical and fully sensual interfaces to fully programmed and highly steered contact zones in the 21st century. 9783110666007 3110666006#UO�u;m(WN*N�[���vNLu�pS�^TNTX-��yO�QZ��R�T�N_�S �#The Ho: Living In A World Of PlentyKOf Social Cohesion And Ritual Friendship On The Chota Nagpur Plateau, India Reichel, Eva�The book is set in the anthropologically much-neglected multi-ethnic interior of highland middle india. It is the result of fieldwork done over a period of more than a decade among the ho, an indigenous community of approximately one million people, who have shared cultural norms and the space of the hilly region of the chota nagpur plateau with other aboriginal (adivasi) and artisan communities for ages. The book explores the structured tapestry of ho people s relations and interrelatedness within their culture-specific sociocosmic universe ensuring their social reproduction in the present and affording them the means for and the awareness of living in a world of plenty. This world of abundance  with the ho as its conceptual centre  includes the ho s dead, their complex spirit world and supreme deity, and their tribal and nontribal fellow humans, and it manifests itself in manifold facets of their lives: socially, ritually, economically, and linguistically.mAnthropologists, sociologists, academics interested in adivasi wordview and generally in indigenous societies 9783110672435 311067243X'k2m���f[0W�VƖ���Yeg�MO�v0W�W��f[(Towards The Phonological Atlas Of Europe)On The Areal-linguistics Of Loan PhonemesStudia Typologica25#Stolz, Thomas / Levkovych, NataliyaIIn contrast to many other levels of language, there is as yet no comprehensive areal-linguistic description of the segmental phonological properties of the languages of europe.To complement the synchronic picture of the languages of europe, it is time to take stock of their phoneme inventories to provide an empirical basis for generalizations about the similarities and dissimilarities of the languages of europ< e. The best way to visualize the areal phonology of europe is that of the phonological atlas of europe (phon@europe) which features the isoglosses of phonological phenomena on a plethora of maps. As a prequel to phon@europe, this study not only outlines the goals, methodology, sample, and theory of the project but also focuses on loan phonemes whose diffusion across the 210 doculects of the sample yields meaningful patterns.Students, researchers 9783110674507 3110674505 �r*YN�uSO�,{4wS0Corpus Papyrorum JudaicarumHacham, Noah / Ilan, Tal�The edition collects and presents all papyri and ostraca from the ptolemaic period, connected to jews and judaism, published since 1957.

It is a diverse mosaic of subjective, often contradictory interpretations and discrepant applications that prohibit a narrow, one-dimensional approach. This book argues that to uncover this complex reality and achieve a more accurate understanding of islam as a lived religion, it is imperative to consider islam from the point of view of human beings who practice their faith. Consequently, this book provides an important contribution through a detailed ethnographic study of two contemporary sufi communities. Although both groups shared much in common, there was a fundamental, almost perplexing range of theological convictions and ritual implementations. This book explores the mechanism that accounts for such diversity, arguing for a direct correlation between sufi multiformity and the agency of the spiritual leader, the shaikh.RScholars of islamic studies, religious studies, sociology of religion, ethnography 9783110677188 3110677180�`a�-N�v N͑OY�@bW蕋s06�#z�T�N̑�XY�_An Imaginary Trio"King Solomon, Jesus, And AristotleShavit, Yaacov�This book focuses on places and instances where solomon's legendary biography intersects with those of jesus christ and of aristotle.

Every legal order refers to the concept of justice, and muslims also regard their religious norms (the sharia) as offering just solutions to legal questions. But is the assumption that the sharia is just merely an acceptance of a status quo correct? and is justice the necessary aim of the sharia? in this volume, renowned scholars discuss these questions from different perspectives. In principle, the first normative source of islam, the qur'an, orders justice and fair conduct (rohe). At the same time, an analysis of the concept of justice in the classical age of islam (ahmed and poya) also shows that there existed ambivalent understandings of this concept. The relationship of the idea of justice in islam to political questions (ende), to war (poya), and to modern reform (mir-hosseini) again confirms the importance of the concept for a critical reflection on traditional assumptions and existing circumstances.1Scholars of islamic studies and religious studies 9783110685152 3110685159͑�e�[Ɖ���y�_����wƉ҉�v�eƉ҉Linguistic Taboo Revisited*Novel Insights From Cognitive Perspectives$Cognitive Linguistics Research [clr]Pizarro Pedraza, Andrea�Linguistic taboo has been relegated for a long time to a peripheral position within linguistics, due to its social stigmatization and inherent linguistic complexity. Recently, though, there has been a renewed interest in revisiting the phenomenon, especially from cognitive frameworks. This volume is the first collection of papers dealing with linguistic taboo from that perspective. The volume gathers 15 chapters, which provide novel insights into a broad range of taboo phenomena (euphemism, dysphemism, swearing, political correctness, coprolalia, etc.) from the fields of sexuality, diseases, death, war, ageing or religion. With a special focus on lexical semantics, the authors in the volume work within cognitive linguistics frameworks such as conceptual metaphor and metonymy, cultural conceptualization or cognitive sociolinguistics, but also at the interface of pragmatics, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, cognitive science or psychiatry. 9783110690019 3110690012�S ^J��ef[-N�v�l؞b��ŖxQ�[݋N,Faces Of Silence In Ancient Greek LiteratureAthenian Dialogues IPapadodima, Efi The volume offers new insights into the intricate theme of silence in greek literature, especially drama.

Research has not, however, kept pace by investigating how people talk about their faith with others who believe differently. This monograph addresses that deficit by taking an emergent path, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate and understand multilingual speakers' discursive behaviors in multiparty interreligious dialogues. Using 33 hours of recordings from conversations across seven research sites, sauer bredvik investigates how speakers multilanguaging practices interact with other indexical and referential signs (unfilled pauses, disfluency, pragmatic markers) to affect how constitute messages are understood. By combining corpus-assisted discourse analysis with emic data taken from observation and 11 hours of participant interviews, one is able to identify distinct patterns of use between these metalinguistic indicators and a dialogue outcome. 9783110695199 3110695197 theory of artƉɉ�_txvzb��h�_'`l��b0W�VƖ)The Visionary Academy Of Ocular MentalityThe Atlas Of Iconic TurnDel Baldo, Luca 2020-07-18�Luca del baldo's visionary academy of ocular mentality is an extraordinary testimony in the recent history of visual studies.

One of the objectives of this volume is to redress the balance by allowing more space to discussions of greek christian poetry. The contributions collected here ask how christian poets engage with (and are conscious of) the double reliance of their poetry on two separate systems: on the one hand, the classical poetic models and, on the other, the various genres and sub-genres of christian prose. Keeping in mind the different settings of the greek-speaking east and the latin-speaking west, the contributions seek to understand the impact of historical setting on genre, the influence of the paideia shared by authors and audiences, and the continued relevance of traditional categories of literary genre.7Scholars of classical, medieval, and byzantine studies.333 2020-04-11 9780367863357 0367863359"interdisciplinary literary studies ׋N�Tf[KN�N�荺N�eƉ҉)The Quarrel Between Poetry And Philosophy"Perspectives Across The HumanitiesBJohn Burns, Matthew Caleb Flamm, William Gahan And Stephanie Quinn106�The quarrel between poetry and philosophy: perspectives across the humanities is an interdisciplinary study of the abiding quarrel to which poet-philosopher plato referred centuries ago in the republic.

The constant evolution of technology and our relationship to devices and their misuse creates a complex challenge requiring interdisciplinary knowledge and exploration. This work addresses this need by bringing disparate areas of social science research on cybercrime together. It covers the foundations, history and theoretical aspects of cybercrime, followed by four key sections on the main types of cybercrime: cyber-tresspass, cyber-deception/theft, cyber-porn and obscenity, and cyber-violence, including policy responses to cybercrime.This work will not only demonstrate the current knowledge of cybercrime but also its limitations and directions for future study. 2020-06-09537 2020-03-28 0520339924 9781607817574 1607817578�religious studies|christianity|christian churches & denominations|other nonconformist & evangelical churches//religious studies|christianity|history of religion//religious studies|religion: general|history of religion//religious studies|religion: general| 0�wgTX N�v�[g�:�N�e�b�TX+Y1��,g�hNid�Ye�v�^�z 0Watchman On The Tower3Ezra Taft Benson And The Making Of The Mormon RightMatthew L Harris�Ezra taft benson is perhaps the most controversial apostle-president in the history of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.

Farag�Creating a successful sculpture requires an imaginative concept and a sound design that utilize the potential and avoid the limitations of the material and the process used in making it. Prior to a few decades ago, most sculptors were restricted to carving stone and wood or casting plaster, ceramics and bronze for their creations. Contemporary sculptors, however, are no longer bound by the limitations of these traditional materials and processes, and can now create works in sizes, forms and textures that could not have been achieved previously. Many modern sculptures are now made from materials ranging from steel and aluminum to plastics and composites using processes ranging from welding and adhesive bonding to molding and 3d printing. To fully utilize the full potential of such new materials, the sculptor needs to understand their points of strength, their limitations, and the most effective way of shaping them to achieve a given design. 9781527545106 1527545105?e�l�T�e���e,g�vY��y�Oo`Yt-N�v�\Issues In The Multilingual Information Processing Of Spoken Political And Journalistic TextsChristina K.

This study examines the deep history of human trafficking from late antiquity to the early modern period. It traces the evolution of trafficking patterns: the growth and decline of trafficking routes, the ever-changing relationships between traffickers and authorities, and it examines the underlying causes that lead to vulnerability and thus to exploitation. As the reader will discover, the conditions that lead to human trafficking in the modern world, such as poverty, attitudes of entitlement, corruption, and violence, have a long and storied past. When we understand that past, we can better anticipate human trafficking's future, and then we are better able to fight it.Nova Science Publishers 2020-08-09313 9781119705659 1119705657$finance & investments special topics�YUO�g�^penc>y:SHow To Build A Data Community Eva Murray�The intention behind how to build a data community is to provide readers with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand and practical guide for establishing analytics and data communities in their organizations.

Although the relationship between pollution and cancer is hard to distinguish in most of those cancer villages, villagers, media and local government all agree that high incidence of cancer is related to environmental pollution, and especially and mostly with industrial pollution. Cancer villages already exist as a fact of social life and affect the lives of villagers, prompting action by government. The authors comprehensively analyse the relationship of cancer incidence, environmental pollution and lifestyle habits of villagers, drawing on sociological theory and method. They present the phenomenon of cancer villages in the particular current chinese social, economic and cultural contexts and provide a wealth of informed analysis. 9781641893770 164189377Xhis037010|lan009010|lit011000AS�NN�~�v'`+R ����Nwt�\�P[̑�vsY�NIGender, Reading, And Truth In The Twelfth Century:the Woman In The MirrorArc - Medieval Media CulturesPowell, MorganArc Humanities Press^The twelfth century witnessed the birth of modern western european literary tradition: major narrative works appeared in both french and in german, founding a literary culture independent of the latin tradition of the church and roman antiquity. But what gave rise to the sudden interest in and legitimization of literature in these "vulgar tongues"? until now, the answer has centred on the somewhat nebulous role of new female vernacular readers. Powell argues that a different appraisal of the same evidence offers a window onto something more momentous: not "women readers" but instead a reading act conceived of as female lies behind the polysemic identification of women as the audience of new media in the twelfth century. This woman is at the centre of a re-conception of christian knowing, a veritable revolution in the mediation of knowledge and truth. 9789811218194 9811218196*physics/ general physics (popular reading).s�~�����vLkSong For Molly, ABernstein Jeremy�This book is both a love story and a science fantasy in which people like g� del and wittgenstein play a role.Key feature: �% there is nothing like this anywhereLaypersons and scientists 9789811218941 9781527544482 1527544486'͑�e`�Xbl��e�pg�e �sQ�NtY��6R�T�y�e�vW�\O� [ N^]'Y�l�[�e�l8l܏awɉ jRethinking Thomas Jefferson�� "!s Writings On Slavery And Race: �� S[god�� "!s] Justice Cannot Sleep Forever�� �M. Andrew Holowchak1Revisionism has been the historical vogue for well over two decades concerning jeffersonian scholarship. This movement has been an attempt to neutralize the avowed �� Shagiographical�� � scholarship on jefferson by aiming to offer an all-too-human thomas jefferson. The regrettable result has been a depiction, iterated and reiterated uncritically by scholars, of a less-than-human jefferson, presenting him as an inveterate hypocrite and racist. Thus, jeffersonian scholarship, as argued here, has become an exercise in useless, fatuous repetition of the same claims that has impeded attempts by serious scholars to gain fresh insights into the mind of one of the greatest americans.This book offers a stimulating, provocative challenge to the stale revisionist claims on jefferson concerning his hypocrisy and racism. 9781527544758 1527544753NWS'k��Sf[�T��Sf[�e�lf[�vg�e�SU\ZRecent Developments In Archaeometry And Archaeological Methodology In South-eastern Europe Ina MiloglavlThis volume presents papers given at the 3rd and 4th scientific editions of the conference �� Smethodology and archaeometry�� � held in 2015 and 2016 at the faculty of humanities and social sciences of the university of zagreb, croatia.

This volume focuses on the economic and financial dimensions of the premodern royal court, and especially on the women using money as an instrument of power. Methodological and theoretical reflections on an economic history of royal courts frame case studies from medieval england to early modern denmark and the holy roman empire. Empresses and queens, but also mistresses and favourites are discussed, including considerations of their spheres of influence, their financial strategies and means, and their successes and failures. 9781799833390 1799833399Y��Ye�[�vYef[�[���T��`�`FTeaching Practices And Language Ideologies For Multilingual Classrooms Ashok BhusalWhile standard language ideology (sli) is harmful in its exclusion of minorities through expression of language and race, translingualism provides a positive scaffolding characterized by the disposition of openness. Translingualism suggests that each utterance creates meaning and is a direct rebellion against sli. It privileges unprivileged varieties of english over so-called standard english. In order to combat sli, scholars have emphasized the need for congenial multicultural spaces where students can use their cultural and linguistic resources as an asset and which supports the idea of students learning from each other through their diversity. Teaching practices and language ideologies for multilingual classrooms is an essential scholarly publication that examines the educational necessities for diverse student populations and multilingual students and provides rich teaching resources for guiding the creation of classroom environments that engages multilingual students and supports their writing and problem-solving skill development. 978179983340612th 9781527544239 1527544230�e,g�v�Q�N�Rϑ��kS��vwck���R��kS��vwck���REJapan�� "!s Military Power: The True Ability Of The Self-defense Forces+The True Ability Of The Self-defense Forces%Robert D.

Both parables and riddles go beyond a simple rote presentation of facts, which may become tedious and likely to be tuned out or rejected. However, there is a major difference between the two. Parables are a dominant form of transmission of information in biblical writings, while riddles dominate those of ancient greece. Parables transmit an underlying, useful life-message in a way that will not be rejected. Riddles, in contrast, are largely unintelligible, leaving one helpless, unable to derive any life-lesson. This book will be of intellectual value to educators, writers, therapists, story-tellers, clergy, and classicists, as well as anyone interested in the implications of ancient views of wisdom for modern education. 9781527516076 ���R�T'Yf[,&Ofe'Yf[ 9781527542983 152754298X-renewable energy and alternative technologies �^��Sc�~���ncWS,A Guide To Sustainable Energy In West AfricaAbdou Mahaman Dango�This volume highlights the abundancy of clean energy resources with which the geographical area of west africa is endowed.

While arguing that neoliberal education policy is a dominant trend transcending the realities of school districts, states, or national governments, bocking also demonstrates the importance of local context to explain variations in education governance, especially when understanding the<  role of resistance led by teachers unions. 9781789381986 1789381983art/criticism & theoryDdq_\O:NsQ.��[���sQ�NvQ�N'`�v�lʑ Photography As Critical PracticeNotes On Otherness David BatesThe "other" is a topic of great interest within and across contemporary photographic practice and theory, yet it remains neglected outside the now well-established field of postcolonial studies. This volume brings together photography and written essays that relate to aspects of otherness and visual work. Presented together, the images and critical writings work in concert to construct a new social perspective on questions of otherness and alterity and to highlight photography as a form of critical practice. � in a departure from existing conceptions of otherness in postcolonial discourse, photography as critical practice places emphasis on the human condition not as a liberal concept, but as something formed and framed by a broader dimension of social, sexual, and cultural otherness. In this way, the book provides a fascinating new vista on the otherness of photography. 2020-08-16436 1509539700 9782503587912 2503587917+medieval & renaissance history (c.400/1500)z�/gt^t��Kb?z�T�eW[�vyr�k'`El Lenguaje Del Arte?Evoluci�n De La Terminolog�a Espec�fica De Manuscritos Y TextosTextes Et Etudes Du Moyen �geAna Gomez Rabal�El an�lisis de la evoluci�n de la terminolog�a t�cnica utilizada en la descripci�n cient�fica de textos y manuscritos desde la edad media hasta nuestros d�as es el argumento que los responsables de este volumen pretenden poner al alcance del lector como tema de discusi�n y de reflexi�n.

Recent reactions to the low grades emanating from rotten tomatoes, the iconic film review aggregation site, have inspired various constituencies to call for significant changes, including some major studio ceos, some actors, and the readers of reviews themselves. A new generation and breed of film critics is needed, not raised to please baby boomers or generation x movie fans, but younger viewers who make up 30% of ticket buyers. This study examines all this and offers five categories of film reviewers plying their trade as models of consistency. 9782503579900 2503579906xmedieval & modern (indo/european) languages & literatures / comparative & cultural studies through literature / literacy ��U_-NN�~'k2m�v�kN)Y��Q\Oi�}T�v>yOq_�T �1250-1350t^+Documenting The Everyday In Medieval Europe8The Social Dimensions Of A Writing Revolution, 1250 1350$Utrecht Studies In Medieval Literacy Paul Bertrand�This book explores the complex relations between the written word and medieval society by focusing on the proliferation of administrative and business documents during the so-called  long thirteenth century . It deals with northern france and the area covered by the historic low countries, but places these regions in a broader european context and in the general history of literacy. Based on an exhaustive first-hand analysis of numerous archives and many document types, and featuring over a hundred illustrations, this book presents the reader with a large sample of documentary sources. But it also presents important hypotheses regarding literacy and the sociological dimensions of writing in the middle ages. Using codicology, palaeography, and diplomatics, it offers a general outline of a key period in the history of literacy which, with hindsight, can be shown to have transformed the middle ages. Further, as the documents that are discussed were used in everyday life, they also have a significant social dimension. At first, these documents were not backed by a clear legal authority; there were no extant rules, formulas, or structural frameworks to which they needed to conform.���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,&Ofe'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[ 9789492771322 94927713229medieval & modern (indo/european) languages & literaturesAS]NN�~�v�bN�T�e�bN�ef[:�[��Nh��s4Le Latin Et La Litt�rature N�o-latine Au Xixe Si�clePratiques Et Repr�sentations*Etudes (institut Historique Belge De Rome)*Le xixe si�cle est connu comme l'�po< que o� l'essor des nationalismes et des langues nationales en europe a d�finitivement rel�gu� le latin aux marges du monde social.

The virtuosity of the eyckian technique and aesthetics remained hardly visible. And yet, this had never been observed before the start of the conservation treatment. By removing the overpaint, the tonal richness and the coherent rendering of light and space once again came to the fore. Especially the suggestion of volumes and the spaciousness of the ensemble gained strength because of the virtuoso play of deep shadows and bright light accents, and not in the least because of the surprising trompe-l'oeil effect of the frames conceived as a stone framework. Or to put it in the words of the comments of one of the experts, dr. Maryan ainsworth: the paintings live and breathe again in the time of the van eyck brothers. The sharp observation skills, the quick, accurate execution, the knowledge, curiosity and ingenuity about all the things that are depicted, are now unveiled after centuries.

Opening chapters address social justice, values and ethics, and theory, and challenge students to critically examine their own social positions, identities, and values. Later chapters present fields of social work and social justice practice, from micro through macro, historical and ideological contexts, and a variety of skills and forms of practice. Within each chapter, stories from the field provide students with reflections from practitioners and participants on anti-oppressive practice and social justice work, highlighting personal successes and challenges.323 9781527542587 1527542580%,{N!kNLu'Yb-N�v�o'Y)R�N�[�^�[�[�$NDQ_(W��~5��N �1916-1917t^bAn Australian Family Poignancy In Wwi: Two Brothers Killed On The Western Front, France, 1916-1917Bob EastEAustralia�� "!s participation in world war i��  and subsequent casualties��  was unparalleled in its short history, and, it is fair to say, will never be repeated again.

An ambitious new ruler who lacked the distinguished lineage so prized by the nobility, and a leader of an extraordinarily diverse population on the fringes of europe, he occupied a unique space in the continent s charged political landscape. This interdisciplinary study examines the strategies that roger used to legitimize his authority, including his relationships with contemporary rulers, the familial connections that he established through no less than three marriages, and his devotion to the church and saint nicholas of myra/bari. Yet while roger and his family made the most of their geographic and cultural contexts, it is convincingly argued here that they nonetheless retained a strong western focus, and that behind the diverse m�lange of norman sicily were very occidental interests. 9780875657493 0875657494�biography & true stories//lifestyle/ sport & leisure|sports & outdoor recreation//lifestyle/ sport & leisure|sports & outdoor recreation|ball games|baseballdk� ��l �y^Sincerely, Ty Cobb Hank O'neal�In 1948 hank o neal was eight years old, and his baseball mentors were his grandfather, c.

The volume is thus dedicated to the phenomenon of the limen, the threshold in medieval culture, < understood mainly as a spatial, ritual and temporal category. The structure of the book follows the virtual path of any medieval visitor entering the sacred space. While doing so, the visitor encountered and eventually crossed several "liminal zones" that have been constructed around a series of physical and mental thresholds. In order to truly access the sacred  once again both physically and metaphorically  many transitional (micro)rituals were required and were therefore given particular attention within this volume. The volume was published as proceedings of the liminality and medieval art ii conference, which was held in october 2018 at the masaryk university in brno. Authors were supposed to conceive their contributions in pairs in order to reflect on the selected topics with an interdisciplinary approach. In the end, the very same pattern was also maintained for the final publication. 9780299328009 0299328007�SxQŖxQ�v�O��Insults In Classical AthensWisconsin Studies In Classics Deborah Kamen�
scholarly investigations of the rich field of verbal and extraverbal athenian insults have typically been undertaken piecemeal. Deborah kamen provides an overview of this vast terrain and synthesizes the rules, content, functions, and consequences of insulting fellow athenians. The result is the first volume to map out the full spectrum of insults, from obscene banter at festivals, to invective in the courtroom, to slander and even hubristic assaults on another's honor. While the classical city celebrated the democratic equality of "autochthonous" citizens, it counted a large population of noncitizens as inhabitants, so that ancient athenians developed a preoccupation with negotiating, affirming, and restricting citizenship. Kamen raises key questions about what it meant to be a citizen in democratic athens and demonstrates how insults were deployed to police the boundaries of acceptable behavior. 9789462702233 9462702233�l�NHN���v:�b_m O�_S_ZP�Tf[�[eg�� Nothing To ItReading Freud As A PhilosopherFigures Of The UnconsciousEmmanuel FalqueThe confrontation between philosophy and psychoanalysis has had its heyday. After the major debates between paul ricoeur, maurice merleau-ponty, jacques derrida, gilles deleuze, and michel henry, this dialogue now seems to have broken down. It has therefore proven necessary and gainful to revisit these debates to explore their re-usability and the degree to which they can provide new insights from a contemporary point of view. It can be said that contemporary philosophy suffers from an  excess of meaning , and this is exactly where psychoanalysis comes in and may raise key questions. This is precisely what a philosophical reading of freud demonstrates. To say  nothing to it indicates that the  it  or freudian id is not visible as it never shows itself as a  phenomenon . Such a reading of freud exemplifies how psychoanalysis has a special role to play in phenomenology's development. 9781789206531 1789206537�S ��e�VLu:sY'`Ee�N�vCg�R,?e�l�T�e8^u;m(WN�_�T��_Friendship Without BordersRWomen s Stories Of Power, Politics, And Everyday Life Across East And West GermanyEthnography, Theory, Experiment+Kristensen, Regnar/adeath Villamil, Claudia�The children of gregoria portrays a struggling mexico, told through the story of the rosales family.

After all, his project remained unfinished and his corpse unburied. The figure of lumumba has been imagined through painting, photography, cinema, poetry, literature, theatre, music, sculpture, fashion, cartoons and stamps, and also through historiography and in public space. No art form has been able to escape and remain indifferent to lumumba. Artists observe the memory and the unresolved suffering that inscribed itself both upon lumumba s body and within the history of congo.

Contributing authors undertake a discussion of the borders, boundaries, and areas of contestation between the established social anthropological concept of liminality and the emerging field of critical event studies.

Taking an intersectional approach, the book argues that more open, egalitarian forms of masculinity, such as caring masculinities, are fostered by marginalised groups. Elliott investigates ways in which privileged men can move towards this openness alongside ongoing expressions of more traditional or regressive masculinity. Drawing on interviews, the book explores these navigations and the ways in which they are bound up with themes such as work, mobility, relationships, the privileges and pressures of masculinities, and the contradictions and difficulties of masculinities under neoliberalism. What is revealed is the need for change at individual, collective and structural levels, with care and openness amongst men as a means of achieving this change.>1.

In today s consumer society, luxury brands have become aspirational symbols. Yet, to date, a comprehensive overview of the different perspectives that have shaped the discourses about luxury is missing. Hannes gurzki provides a broad overview of luxury research, highlights and details important perspectives on luxury, and derives practical guidelines for managers based on research. Thereby the author combines insights from different disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, cultural studies, economics or management, to broaden and deepen our understanding of luxury and its creation principles.�The state of luxury research: a bibliometric citation analysis.-perspectives on luxury: an integrative model.-decoding luxury brand communications.-implications for luxury brand management.6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,��wt�]'Yf[ 9789811532269 9811532265economic growth-N�V�~Nm�e8^`��X�0�~�gN�R�RChina s Economic New NormalGrowth, Structure, And MomentumAResearch Series On The Chinese Dream And China s Development PathFang Cai�This timely volume on china s economic  new normal features articles by leading scholars from the chinese academy of social sciences and other research institutions across the country.

Throughout five case studies, the author develops the argument that social identities are nurtured by and may even emerge through the conflict between different aesthetic expressions. As it creates affective structures, narrative fiction enables the development and formation of political and cultural identities.This work is part of a field of research that deals with the aesthetics of the everyday and the idea of social aesthetics. It argues for a central role for the arts in the creation and formation of modern society. Social identities emerge in response to aesthetic-sensual patterns of perception.Focusing on five west german public debates in the years 1950 to 1990, this work sheds light upon the transformation of social reality through the discursive adaption of art.�1.

In this book, �sbj�rn melkevik corrects this common reading of the classical liberal tradition by introducing a theory of  rule egalitarianism . Not only is classical liberalism compatible with social justice, but it can also help us understand why some egalitarian endeavours are an essential feature of a market society. If a necessary link exists between the classical liberal tradition and the moral and institutional dimensions of the rule of law, then this tradition is bound to uphold a substantial form of social justice. Coherence requires that classical liberals like friedrich hayek and milton friedman adopt an authentic egalitarian program. They should ameliorate poverty and limit inequality not merely out of prudence or collective self-interest, but for the natural justice of ongoing social cooperation as well as for the impartiality of market institutions.PChapter1.

Positing that people s cultural beliefs and the language(s) they use are inseparable, the book argues that chinese language teachers possess a unique understanding of the various phenomena that reflect the influences of chinese culture by virtue of the language they speak and teach.

This international study of news is based on re-thinking and re-conceptualising the news values that underpin understandings of journalism. It goes beyond empirical descriptions of what journalism is to explore normative ideas of what it might become if practised alongside commitments to ethical listening, active citizenship and social justice. It draws lessons from both alternative and mainstream media output; from both journalists and scholars; from both practice and theory. It challenges dominant news values by drawing on insights from feminism, peace journalism and other forms of critical thinking that are usually found on the margins of journalism studies. This original and engaging contribution to knowledge proposes an alternative set of contemporary news values that have significant implications for the news industry, for journalism education and for democracy itself.01.

Rather than a discussion of african dance per se, the author challenges hegemonic perceptions of contemporary african dance theatre to interrogate the extent to which white supremacy and privilege weave through capitalist necropolitics and determine our perception of contemporary african dance theatre today. Multiple aesthetic strategies are discussed throughout the book to account for the affective experience of  un-suturing that touches white spectatorship and colonial guilt at their core. The critical analysis covers a broad range of dance choreography by artists from the democratic republic of congo, ivory coast, south africa, canada, europe, and the us as they travel, create, and show their works internationally to global audiences to contest racial divides and white supremacist politics.�1.

Historically, fetishes are implicated in specific struggles for sovereign (political) and/or religious (hierarchical) power, with their interwoven symbols defined as the primary location for transcendence in our world. This book defines the political consequences of fetish-objects within a western cultural, and primarily theological context through a comparative approach of various literatures on fetish-objects anthropological to the psychological, ma< rxist to the theological. It reconceives of fetishes as a form of resistance to oppressive structures, something which motivated christians themselves historically, and shaped our western understanding of the sacraments far more than has been acknowledged.f1.

At an early stage, cassirer was confronted with a scientific crisis triggered by the emergence of various forms of objective knowledge, such as the plurality of geometric axiom systems and non-euclidean geometry in relativistic physics. He finally developed a solution to the problematic unity of objective knowledge by replacing the overarching notion of objectivity with that of forms of objectification. This led him to consider the notion of  symbolic forms as the driving force in the objectification process. This concept would become instrumental in demonstrating that the objective and human sciences are not adversaries; they merely differ in their modes of semiotic construction. These modes cannot be summarized in a fixed list of symbolic forms but operate transversally, at a level where cassirer distinguishes between three specific operators: expression, evocation and objectification.dChapter 1: the epistemological situation of cassirer.-chapter 2.

Metzler 2020-02-27]This study is concerned with the use of the english modals (may, might, can, could, shall, should, will, would and must) in adverbial, relative complement clauses. It employs synchronic data from the british national corpus and quantitative methods to investigate similarities and differences between the core modals, as well as modal-specific preferences in subordinate clauses. The main finding is that modal verbs in subordinate clauses may be conceived of as meso-constructions and that they qualify as micro-constructions once further syntagmatic features are considered. This allows for distinguishing modal verb phrases with different degrees of complexity, schematicity, productivity and subjectivity. Further applications give us insights into collocations, modal harmony, semantic preference, and the attraction of dynamic meaning to relative clauses.Contentsconstruction grammar, behavioural profile analysis.-hierarchical configural frequency analysis, correspondence analysis.-monofactorial analyses, multifactorial analyses.-complexity, schematicity, productivity, subjectivity.-multicollinearity, generalisability, replicability. 9783030409920 3030409929B2B-N�v�[7b-�O�^FUsQ�|�FUNQ�~-N�SN��v�N�NƉ҉&Customer-supplier Relationships In B2b9An Interaction Perspective On Actors In Business NetworksAntonella La RoccaThis book explores customer-supplier relationships in b2b markets focusing on interaction between parties. Drawing on three fields of research  studies of relationships in marketing, social interactionism in sociology, and sense-making in social psychology  the author explores the concepts and roles of actors in business relationships and how the behaviour of actors within an interaction affects the development of those relationships.Based on a review of prior research and an original empirical study, the author argues that the presence of continuous close relationships between the customer and supplier organisations bestows features of a business network on b2b markets, with distinct interdependencies and ubiquitous interactions. Exploring buyer-seller interactions, the author contends that actors mutually perceived identities  continuously emergent and relationship-specific  are the main factor in the development of business relationships and discusses the implications for management practice and research.Y1.

Starting with the japanese occupation of indonesia (1942 1945), the war of independence (1945 1949) and the genocide of 1965, the volume analyses narratives in dutch and indonesian novels in relation to social and political narratives (1942 2015).

As we know, urbanization is the inevitable course for agricultural civilization to move towards industrial civilization. Over the past forty years, the urbanization of china has developed rapidly and has become an important push for economic development and social progress. At the same time, the rapid expansion of city scale, the shortage of public services, environmental pollution, traffic congestion, housing tension, as well as other urban pain points have emerged, and these have brought about serious challenges to urban governance. Delicacy management is the concentrated expression of modern scientific management theory and the inherent requirement to realize the modernization of national governance systems and governance capability. From delicacy management to delicacy governance, urban governance needs the transformation of logic. Shanghai has been identified as the only super city in the yangtze river delta and east china.

By considering a range of texts, including poetry, plays, pamphlets, and religious writing, the study reads this heroic tradition as a 'connected literary history,' a project shared by protestants throughout northern europe, which opened up both collaboration among writers from these different regions and new possibilities for communal identification. The work s central claim is that a pan-protestant literary field existed in the period, which was multilingual, transnational, and ideologically charged. Celebrated leaders such as william of orange posed a series of questions, especially for english protestants, over the relationship between english and protestant identity.�1.

We understand mind reading in a broad sense as the twentieth-century attempt to generate knowledge of what people held in their minds  with a focus on scientifically-based governmental practices. This volume considers the techniques of mind reading within a wider perspective of discussions about technological innovation within neuroscience, the juridical system,  occult practices and discourses within the wider field of parapsychology and magical beliefs. The authors address the practice of, and discourses on, mind reading as they form part of the consolidation of modern governmental techniques. The collected contributions explore the question of how these techniques have been epistemically formed, institutionalized, practiced, discussed, and how they have been used to shape forms of subjectivities  collectively through human consciousness or individually through the criminal, deviant, or spiritual subject.�Introduction: technologies of mind reading and constellations of testimony (laurens schlicht, carla seemann, christian kassung).-section i: technology and mind reading.-i.I media.-electrical potential: mind reading as collaborative action (melissa m.

This book examines whether analysing the effects of individual democratic features separately can contribute to a better understanding of cross-national variance in environmental performance. The authors show that levels of social equality in particular, as well as the strength of local and regional democracy, contribute significantly to explaining cross-national variation in environmental performance. On the other hand, a high level of political corruption affects a country s ability to adopt and implement environmental policies effectively. In exploring the inter-relationship between democratic qualities, political corruption, and environmental performance, this book presents policymakers and political theorists with a clear picture of which aspects of democratic societies are most conducive to producing a better environment.�Chapter 1  introduction.-chapter 2  disentangling the effect of the regime type on environmental performance.- chapter 3<   democracy qualities and environmental performance in democracies.- chapter 4  democracy qualities and environmental performance in autocracies.- chapter 5  democracy qualities, political corruption and environmental performance.- chapter 6  summary, conclusion and policy implications. 9789811531286 9811531285 {kR�pS�^�SvQ�N�V�[U\gThe Death Penalty"Perspectives From India And Beyond"Sanjeev P.

On a technical level the development of an algorithm to solve repayment games automatically is thoroughly documented. Eventually, new theoretic results on the performance of various credit schemes are established, the quality of existing lending schemes is scrutinised and new more efficient mechanisms are presented. The content therefore inspires theorists as well as it provides well-grounded advice to practitioners in the lending industry.

It is original and quite different from standard economic history, which has always sought for one prime mover of the industrial revolution after another. These supposed positive forces are usually depicted as novel and little reference is made to inertia. Instead the barriers dealt with here run, in the first section, from early misallocations of resources to nineteenth-century reforms which of their nature indicate the problems to be overcome. The second section deals with more physical impediments and shocks, such as floods and settlement fires. These too are ignored in ordinary treatments, which this book will supplement or even replace.

First and foremost, a paradigm shift arose in economic theories that fail to predict or explain the crisis. On the governmental side, we have been observing a natural parallel between authoritarianism and the way many democratic countries are being governed. Liberalism seems to have failed. Driven by the anger over the crisis and its heavy burden, a variety of technological innovations were birthed and gained momentum. Bitcoin was a manifesto to the monetary system; sharing economy was a rebellion to the consumerist lifestyle; and subscriptions were a threat to ownership.

BallsThis palgrave pivot offers a history of and proof against claims of "buying power" and the impact this myth has had on understanding media, race, class and economics in the united states. For generations black people have been told they have what is now said to be more than one trillion dollars of "buying power," and this book argues that commentators have misused this claim largely to blame black communities for their own poverty based on squandered economic opportunity. This book exposes the claim as both a marketing strategy and myth, while also showing how that myth functions simultaneously as a case study for propaganda and commercial media coverage of economics. In sum, while  buying power is indeed an economic and marketing phrase applied to any number of racial, ethnic, religious, gender, age or group of consumers, it has a specific application to black america.OChapter 1.

Susanne edler presents research that reveals that employment relations after recalls are less protected by labor market regulations and more exposed to the competitive market processes than continuously employed workers that grant wage premiums (rents) due to their higher shielding from the competitive labor market. However, compared to other discontinuous employment relations temporary layoffs can be the better alternative since employers as well as employees make use of their transaction-specific investments in human capital and thereby generate  composite rents. �Recall-employment as form of flexible employment.- closure mechanisms  explanations of labor market inequality.- employment patterns of recalled workers.- earnings differences.- differences in supervisors and coworkers support. 9783658293888 3658293888&�Sc�~�~%�N�~NΘi��{t�NZ���T:gG��vsQ�vN�RΘi�4ls^̀of N�vΘi�ċ0O�]wQ4Sustainable Business Performance And Risk ManagementaRisk Assessment Tools In The Context Of Business Risk Levels Related To Threats And Opportunities3Sustainable Management, Wertsch�pfung Und EffizienzRuxandra Maria Bejinariu�In this book ruxandra maria bejinariu introduces an innovative approach related to improving the risk assessment process by using unexploited methods that have been mainly used in limited areas of business and identifying both threats and opportunities that can be generated as a result of risk materialization.

It includes aspects of international relations, international development, and religion and politics to trace the relationship between the british government and faith groups, showing that the relationship is enhanced on three conditions: (i) the resurgence of religion in international affairs; (ii) the attitudes of politicians and political parties towards the third sector (i.E. Voluntary and private sectors); and (iii) the rising prominence of the international development agenda in british politics. The third condition triggers the need to understand this relationship in the wake of brexit. Thus, the book aims to analyze to what extent the increasing prominence of an international development agenda in british politics explains the relationship between the government and faith groups, and ultimately whether brexit has increased the prominence of international development agenda and brought faith groups into closer relations with the government.APart 1.- chapter 1.

These nontechnical skills are just as important as technical ones in terms of becoming a successful graduate student, yet they have seldom been taught systematically in courses. Further, they can bridge the gap from the classroom to the lab, making one of the most critical transition periods from student to researcher smoother and more enjoyable. 9789811536106 9811536104r & d/technology policy Y�V�v�c�bD�0�b/gNR�eFdi, Technology And InnovationN.

Arguably, these changes are likely to differ from those that the world has experienced over the past few decades; in particular, now that many countries have globalised their economies. The book begins by reviewing the changing pattern of fdi flows and technologies among developed and emerging economies, before identifying the determinants of this change by presenting specific studies on indian industries. It then addresses key questions such as: how are knowledge spillover mechanisms operationalised, and what are the implications of the internationalisation of the ipr process? the role of fdi is also analysed in order to make policy recommendations for fostering innovation in emerging economies like india.�Country origin of fdi in india manufacturing and its impact on productivity spillover.- knowledge spillover mechanisms.- implications of international harmonization of ipr on growth, tfp and welfare.- determinants of r&d behavior of foreign firms in india.- foreign direct investments and environmental policies: a meta-analysis.- innovation and competition in indian medium and high technology industries.- interplay of market structure and technological capabilities: story of consumer electronics in india.- push factors of outward fdi  a cross country analysis of developed and developing countries.- aggregate fluctuations and technological shocks: the indian case.- fdi, labor market, and welfare: how inequality navigate welfare loss?. 9783030421595 3030421597international security studies'k2m�[hQ:g�g�v�~�~��1�'kT'k�vqQ TY�NN�[hQ?eV{�TS�~*The End Of European Security Institutions?AThe Eu s Common Foreign And Security Policy And Nato After Brexit#Springerbriefs In Political Science Benjamin Zyla102HThis book discusses brexit s implications for the two most important security institutions in europe, the eu s common foreign and security policy (cfsp) and the north atlantic treaty organization (nato).

Widely adopted three decades ago, term limits for the office of the president are now being challenged by many african leaders. The power alternation debate in africa raises important questions concerning the future of democracy and development on the continent. Using a case study approach, this book explores in detail six situations in which leaders have either succeeded or failed in altering term limits.

The book begins with a study of the history and evolution of the mfn. It then presents a substantive analysis focusing on the drafting style and how it affects the scope of the mfn; rules of interpretation and arbitral case law on the scope of the mfn, procedural prerequisites to arbitration and jurisdiction of arbitral tribunals, and the implications of adopting an expansive approach to the mfn clause. The book s argument centres on the need for arbitral tribunals to interpret the mfn in a manner that reflects the expressed intent of the parties. This requires taking into consideration the text of the mfn, its purpose, and the overall context of the iia, rather than relying on values and assumptions that have nothing to do with the original intent of the parties. In making this argument, the book draws on articles 31 and 32 of the vienna convention on the law of treaties and other interpretative rules.�Chapter 1. Introduction.- chapter 2.

By locating the roots of the phenomenon in the trust crisis suffered by liberal democracy and its institutions, the book argues that post-truth serves as a space for ideological conflicts and geopolitical power struggles that are reshaping the world order. The era of post-truth politics is thus here to stay, and its reach is increasingly global: russian trolls organizing events on social media attended by thousands of unaware american citizens; turkish pro-government activists amplifying on twitter conspiracy theories concocted via internet imageboards by online subcultures in the united states; american and european social media users spreading fictional political narratives in support of the syrian regime; and facebook offering a platform for a harassment campaign by buddhist ultra-nationalists in myanmar that led to the killing of thousands of muslims.�Chapter 1.

It considers the establishment of significant professional organisations and journals, and the impact of feminism and political change.

Bethke; Matteo Dressler; V�ronique Dudouet193�This book argues that democracies emerging from peaceful protest last longer, achieve higher levels of democratic quality, and are more likely to see at least two peaceful handovers of power than democracies that emerged out of violent resistance or top-down liberalization. Nonviolent resistance is not just an effective means of deposing dictators; it can also help consolidate democracy after the transition from autocratic rule. Drawing on case studies on democratic consolidation in africa and latin america, the authors find that nonviolent resistance creates a more inclusive transition process that is more resistant to democratic breakdown in the long term.�Chapter 1: introduction.- chapter 2: theory.- chapter 3: statistical analysis.- chapter 4: mechanisms.- chapter 5: inching towards theory.- chapter 6: conclusion. 9783030429089 3030429083middle eastern politicsWS�N�v O�epQNl;N�_[�R�b�V�[�O!Islam And Democracy In South AsiaThe Case Of Bangladesh Md Nazrul Islam; Md Saidul Islam"Grounded in the weberian tradition,islam and democracy in south asia: the case of bangladeshpresents a critical analysis of the complex relationship between islam and democracy in south asia and bangladesh.

Though the role of the middle class and the media in the making of what is called the  modi wave is often talked about, a clear-eyed and unbiased look at how they transformed the political landscape in post-liberalization india is still wanting.

This change, which slowly began in the 1990s, has now reached a crescendo, and modi has become the icon of the changing economic demands of the middle class and their ideological rightward shift. The new middle class played a decisive role in the electoral outcomes of 2014 and 2019 two elections that have undoubtedly changed the way india imagines itself and how the rest of the world sees india. 9781544368269 1544368267�Nf[`N�:N-N�_�v�S��: ‰�[He�g�v19�yV{euLearner-focused Feedback#19 Strategies To Observe For ImpactAmy Tepper And Patrick Flynn�Nineteen strategies help leaders, coaches, and teachers improve their ability to identify desired outcomes, recognize learning in action, collect relevant evidence, and develop effective feedback cultivating a culture of learning in their schools. 9781529712247 1529712246�c�y�_t���R: eP�^�T>yO�OePNN�NXTcWSDemystifying Mental Capacity0A Guide For Health And Social Care Professionals+Post-qualifying Social Work Practice Series@Edited By Sally Lee, Lee-ann Fenge, Keith Brown And Michael Lyne!This very practical book helps professionals and students to engage critically with their practice by addressing mental capacity and adult safeguarding.

Its low social mobility is now an increasingly pressing issue and stagnating real wages signal a dark era of declining opportunities and the growing spectre of downward mobility.

The authors then call for a fundamental shift in debates about social mobility and social justice, arguing that tinkering with current policies will not transform society to the extent that is needed. 9781529732030 1529732034 9781526491060 1526491060�_tf[�T���6q�sa�: �c"}�S8^�v�~�SPsychology And The ParanormalExploring Anomalous ExperienceDavid F.

The form was the fashionable one of melodrama, yet irish melodrama was of a particular kind replete with hidden messages, and the language was far more allusive, colourful and entertaining than that of its english equivalent.

The findings thus provide evidence of the construct validity of the baseline reading test on the one hand, but are equally relevant to teaching practice on the other hand.

Based on archaeological sources, the authors reconstruct the character, extent, time and space of possible migration-invasive movements of communities from the east to central europe. Archaeology of migration focuses primarily on the growing base of cultural attributes and identifiers that cannot be attributed to local prehistoric communities. They also can help analyse the multiple layers of prehistoric processes and complex prehistoric social phenomena.

The lack of a common conceptual framework of integrated education in the system of higher professional education in different countries manifests itself in the attempts of researchers to either completely eliminate the achievements of their colleagues in this area or, without any scientific and practical justification, mechanically transfer foreign experiences in their conditions.

But how this structure is built and what it ultimately upholds  this is a primary focus of the human sciences. In this book, the author argues that in the human sciences, from its founders to contemporaries, a common premise is apparent: the fundamental property of all human-social reality is its character as something constructed. Through a vast set of analyses and reflections of his own, and by philosophers, psychologists, psychoanalysts, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists and linguists, the author shows how this premise, applied, which he coins as critical constructionist theory, constitutes the fundamental theory of the human sciences. 9780252043307 0252043308�N>y:S:N-N�_�v�e��N�N�N�N�R ��c"}㉳Q�eHhv^�^�z�O�NWCommunity-centered Journalism: Engaging People, Exploring Solutions, And Building Trust Andrea Wenzel#Contemporary journalism faces a crisis of trust that threatens the institution and may imperil democracy itself. Critics and experts see a renewed commitment to local journalism as one solution. But a lasting restoration of public trust requires a different kind of local journalism than is often imagined, one that engages with and shares power among all sectors of a community.Andrea wenzel models new practices of community-centered journalism that build trust across boundaries of politics, race, and class, and prioritize solutions while engaging the full range of local stakeholders. Informed by case studies from rural, suburban, and urban settings, wenzel's blueprint reshapes journalism norms and creates vigorous storytelling networks between all parts of a community. Envisioning a portable, rather than scalable, process, wenzel proposes a community-centered journalism that, once implemented, will strengthen lines of local communication, reinvigorate civic participation, and forge a trusting partnership between media and the people they cover. 9780252085222< 9780268106331 0268106339}bisac category: religion | christian theology | ethics / religion | christian theology | eschatology / religion | eschatology?�NY���v+gN��&OtN��6R�v��_<Aquinas's Eschatological Ethics And The Virtue Of TemperanceMatthew Levering In aquinas's eschatological ethics and the virtue of temperance, matthew levering argues that catholic ethics make sense only in light of the biblical worldview that jesus has inaugurated the kingdom of god by pouring out his spirit. Jesus has made it possible for us to know and obey god's law for human flourishing as individuals and communities. He has reoriented our lives toward the goal of beatific communion with him in charity, which affects the exercise of the moral virtues that pertain to human flourishing.Without the context of the inaugurated kingdom, catholic ethics as traditionally conceived will seem like an effort to find a middle ground between legalistic rigorism and relativistic laxism, which is especially the case with the virtue of temperance, the focus of levering's book. 9783631804933 3631804938�m9��L�:N!j�WConsumer Behavior ModelsAkta_, Hasret / ^im_ek, G�ksel�The customer was conceptualized as an individual who was surrounded by products and messages and could make a choice between these products and messages, but now the customer can shape the products and messages that are directed to him with engagement by producing content.

Symbolic artefacts - sculptures, badges and medals - featuring his likeness abounded. Streets were renamed after him, his speeches were quoted on gravestones and literary odes dedicated to him proliferated in the major press. But, by october, kerensky had been unceremoniously dethroned in the bolshevik takeover and had fled to paris and then to the us, where he would remain exiled and removed from his former glory until his death. The breakneck trajectory of his rise and fall and the intensity of his popularity were not merely a symptom of the chaos of those times but offer a window onto a much broader historical phenomenon which did not just begin with lenin and stalin - the cult of the leader. 9783631803967 3631803966�]\r^5uq_�TO'Y�vb�N:b�N�vEe�N Balkan Cinema And The Great Wars Our Story6Ionescu, Adrian-silvan / Arslan, Savas / Tutui, MarianBalkan cinema is a result of a common cultural space shared by different nations.

This was especially so in the area of foreign policy given that yudhoyono was widely lauded for his efforts and achievements on the international stage; and the general perception that widodo lacks sufficient foreign policy experience and knowledge. Will indonesia's foreign policy change with the new government? if so, how will indonesia's foreign policy change and why? if not, how not and why won't indonesia's foreign policy change?jokowi's indonesia and the world addresses these questions by evaluating the annual performance of the widodo government from 2014 to 2019, focusing primarily on the president's foreign policy track record, and tracing indonesia's successes and failures on the world stage.nPrologue: the beginning of jokowi's indonesia and the world; indonesia's foreign policy in jokowi's first year: few friends, many enemies?; jokowi's second year in charge: consolidating domestically, reacting externally; jokowi at the half way stage: mid-term wobbles; bad omens in jokowi's fourth year: entering the home stretch for 2019; epilogue: five more years;�Academics, undergraduates and graduates, and policymakers in indonesian/southeast asian politics; diplomatic community based in indonesia or foreign ministry officials handling indonesian/southeast asian affairs 9789811206252 9811206252asian studies/ china studies!�YUOb:NN*N�s�NS�v�V�[�-N�V�s�NS�bJTU\g(2001-2016)"How To Become A Modernized Country.China Modernization Report Outlook (2001-2016) He Chuanqi*Modernization is a complex phenomenon in the world, and is termed as a development goal in some countries and regions.

The regiment was made up of companies from dekalb, fulton, gwinnett, milton, newton, and walton counties. Fighting in the western theater, they were major participants at cumberland gap, champion's hill, vicksburg, resaca, atlanta, nashville, and bentonville. These georgians proved to be capable fighters and were, on four occasions, assigned to cover the retreat of the army of tennessee. The furious charge of the forty-second georgia that carried the federal trenches near the troup hurt house was a pivotal moment in the battle of atlanta. Their capture of a federal battery is depicted in the recently restored atlanta cyclorama painting. This detailed narrative highlights first person accounts drawn from soldier's letters, diaries, and field reports, as well as from federal soldiers directly across the trench lines. Excerpts from the letters and diaries of colonel lovick p.

Women in academia continue to experience racism, ethnocentrism, nativism, sexism, and classism in higher education. Working in the margins is an edited volume comprised of works by domestic and international communication scholars of diverse backgrounds in citizenship, language, ethnicity, race, class and educational heritage (first or second generation college educated). The title of this collection is a double entendre of the marginal place the contributors occupy in u.S. Systems of higher education and how they reclaim these ascribed positions by invoking their bodies as text and communicating their stories of difference. Each chapter draws on critical and feminist perspectives and also intersectionality to develop critical strategies for teaching, surviving and/or thriving in higher education. The authors use autoethnography and other forms of storytelling to illuminate how they work in the margins of their difference to transform student learning and minority experiences in higher education. 9781789971217 1789971217Lk�_�T�[Z�?��s���N:�y�_KN1r?)Goethe And Anna Amalia: A Forbidden Love?804 9783631791509 363179150X �^(u�f[�y�v\�exvz�(Applied Interdisciplinary Peirce StudiesPeirce Studies Bisanz, Elize�The volume focuses on the application of peirce s semeiotic as a methodological tool to establish a common field for interdiscipl< inary research.

A variety of issues relating to these topics are addressed as they are treated in a range of documentaries, including questions of form and formal traditions; the politics of documentaries and their real-world implications; the voice of the documentary filmmaker; regional, national, and international representations; and approaches to race, ethnicity, sexuality and gender in a fascinating array of films. 9783034339186 3034339186(WAm�R-NZP�[�^�^t�X�T�_�V�vؚ�b���ylDoing Family On The Move2Highly-skilled Migrants In Switzerland And GermanyTissot, FlorianThis book focuses on the coordination between family life and professional career under the condition of repeated mobilities. It analyses the division between the labour force work and the care work of couples of highly-skilled migrants settling in either switzerland or germany. A mutually exclusive model provides an innovative understanding of gendered hierarchies in career achievement. The male partners operate three parallel elements: an upward professional career, a family-life implying child(ren), and maintaining their availability to further unplanned relocations. The female partners can only coordinate two of these concurrently. In fact, the male partners combine the three elements by taking advantage of specific, and mostly invisible, care work that the female partner provides. 9783631817513 3631817517�^�_yb$R�Tf[-N�f[t��N�wƋt���vsQ�|�cvzsAn Inquiry Into The Nature Of Aesthetic Theory In Its Relation To Theory Of Knowledge In Kant's Critical Philosophy�zdoyran, G�ven(The primary objective of an inquiry into the nature of aesthetic theory in its relation to theory of knowledge in kant s critical philosophy is to investigate kant s aesthetic theory and its problematic relation to theory of knowledge in his transcendental philosophy. In the critique of judgment, kant constructs his aesthetic theory by arguing that the aesthetic experience is based on a certain type of feeling, namely, the feeling of pleasure, rather than a concept. He grounds such a feeling on the aesthetic judgment of reflection. In spite of its nonconceptual and subjective characteristic, an aesthetic reflective judgment still has a claim to be universally valid. Here, the feeling of pleasure in beautiful is produced by the free harmonious relation between the imagination and the understanding. 9783631810125 3631810121bgR-N�v>yO�_`��_tNƖSO�v;R;uSocial Minds In Drama.The Delineation Of Mentalities And Collectives9Literary And Cultural Studies, Theory And The (new) Media Shams, GolnazPThis study provides a new model for the construction of mentalities and intermental thought of characters in playscripts. It introduces a model that facilitates the analysis of the construction of consciousness, instances of collective thought, and the dynamics of group formation in late-victorian drama. It can be placed within the framework of cognitive studies because cognitive studies are interested in examining the mental state and the relationship between minds involved in cognitive interaction in narratives. For a long time narrative studies have neglected drama as a genre and, even after the long overdue acceptance of plays in the family of narratives, most critics were eager to focus on performance rather than on playscripts. This book introduces a model through which the analysis of playscripts will be rewarding and worthwhile. 9789811217623 9811217629 �e�RaWNS�N~vt^�S�S��lʑHr6One Hundred Years' History Of The Chinese In SingaporeThe Annotated EditionSong Ong SiangWSince its publication in 1923, sir song ong siang's one hundred years' history of the chinese in singapore has become the standard biographical reference of prominent chinese in early singapore, at least in the english language.

Sociolinguistic Study+Sprach- Und Kulturkontakte In Europas MitteGolachowska, Ewa)The book discusses the sociolinguistic status and prestige of the polish language and the changes in the national identity of catholics in belarus due to the switch from polish to belarusian in the catholic church. The research shows that the national identification of catholics in belarus is changing. The oldest generations most often self-identify as polish. For those from the middle and youngest generations, the link between nationality and their religion is not obvious as being a catholic does not exclude a belarusian self-identity. Belonging to the catholic church results from being baptized in the catholic rite, while national identity can be defined in many ways and re-defined by various life experiences. Catholicism has proven to be a less debated and more durable category than nationality. 9783631793398 3631793391�h�g̑�v�u�r:u`^y�y�vh��s?Madness In The Woods: Representations Of The Ecological Uncanny]Studien Zu Literatur, Kultur Und Umwelt / Studies In Literature, Culture, And The Environment74Pusse, Tina-karen / Schwarz, Heike / Downes, RebeccaGSince storytelling began, narratives of getting lost in the woods or of choosing to live in the heterotopian space of the woods have remained popular and are, at the time of writing, experiencing a new revival. The theory of ecopsychology supplies a productive paradigm for understanding mental well-being in a cultural landscape suffused with reimaginings of nature as 'unspoiled wilderness'. The eco-psychopathologies presented in the essays in this volume range in origin from medieval literature to contemporary films and online games. The classic romantic or gothic trope of getting lost in the forest, but also its recreational function (forest-bathing) reflect mental states humans develop when they step into the culturally constructed entity of the woodland. These ecocritical analyses present different facets of such encounters. 9789811214653 9811214654"economics & finance/ globalization 0Wt��T��~6R21N�~�V1� GeofusionMapping Of The 21st CenturyCsizmadia NorbertNGeofusion is an exciting journey around the main issues of the 21st century.This is a book with roadmaps that show the complexity of our world, the interconnections between places, people, schools of thoughts, and disciplines.

Telerehabilitation, implying the use of telecommunications in rehabilitation activities, is being used widely in the treatment of communication and mental health disorders. The use of telerehabilitation services makes rehabilitation more feasible, fast, time-saving and cost-effective for people who face constraints in physically presenting themselves to healthcare providers due to extent of retardation, illness or commuting issues. It is thus a boon for the people who stay in remote areas and have no access to healthcare professionals in close vicinity. Therefore, research is underway on the optimal means to deliver telerehabilitation services both locally and globally and is now seen as a critical activity in healthcare. 9781799855576 1799855570͑�e����21N�~�vYef[0���[�T,gWYe��NRedesigning Teaching, Leadership, And Indigenous Education In The 21st CenturyLeesha Nicole Roberts�Research in the area of teaching and learning within education is a dynamic area that continues to evolve because of new technologies, knowledge, models, and methods within formal and non-formal educational settings.

Until 1798, the swiss confederation consisted of a conglomerate of around 50 local authorities with different constitutional statuses. The number of legislative jurisdictions was even greater; each territory, however small, had its own legal system before 1798. In the 19th century, legal unity was initially created within the framework of cantonal law and, since 1848, at the national level. Key developments of the 20th century were equality between men and women, social legislation and the influence of technological development.

Therefore, digital transformation is one of the most debated issues in today's business world. Being aware of this issue, turkish-german university (tgu) hosted a conference on  digital transformation in business in cooperation with bielefeld university of applied sciences in istanbul. The conference offered a platform where academicians as well as practitioners discussed current issues of digital transformation.

The author employs in-depth historical reflection on szymborska s beginnings to reveal that  without describing her post-war beginnings and reflecting on her early entanglement in socialist realist newspeak  szymborska s mature anti-dogmatic attitude will remain unclear. The book shows how szymborska s rhetoric and stylistics  figures of reservation, negation, contradiction, tautology, and repetition  are closely connected with the construction of the poetic world and affect the shape of her messages. After all, wisBawa szymborska is a poet of sophisticated wit, a surprising freedom of expression, and an unusual game with various literary styles, even with colloquial polish. 9783631806524 3631806523 OZS�N�v�eP[sYZZ�Y�T?Q�z6e{Q5Childless Marriages And Child Adoption Among The IgboEkwunife, John KachikwulumAt the heart of every marriage union among the igbo people of nigeria is the desire to have one s own children, preferably male ones who will perpetuate the family name from generation to generation. Hence, no stone is left unturned to make sure that this aim is achieved in marriage. Oftentimes, this desire, despite every effort, is not realized by every married couple. Some marriages still remain childless. The precolonial igbo were also confronted with childless marriages. But knowing the consequences of a childless marriage, they designed some methods of circumventing the problem. Almost all the methods they employed to make sure that no man died childless, which are extensively discussed in this work, are condemned by the catholic church. The church proffered child adoption among other things as a solution to infertility in marriage. Child adoption, however, is frowned upon by some igbo on the ground that it is against their culture. This situation, therefore, places some igbo childless couples who want to remain faithful to the christian faith on a crossroad of not knowing what to do in the face of infertility. 9789811217852 98112178580environmental science/ energy studies / research���nHe�s �R�e��c�RA~c� ��Q\�c>eEnergy Efficiency3Innovations: Driving Prosperity, Slashing Emissions0World Scientific Series In Current Energy Issues Kelly HenryEnergy efficiency touches all parts of the economy and lies at the heart of all plausible strategies for addressing climate change.

By focusing on the past, the book also aims to provide a historical lens through which modern educational problems can be viewed.

On the one hand, omitted pronouns result in simpler and more efficient structures, provided their antecedents are retrievable from the context. On the other hand, the choice between overt and omitted pronouns depends on several grammatical constraints, which in turn may entail an increase in system complexity. Two methodologically different but complementary case studies are presented, which contribute new findings to the literature at the crossroads of research on world englishes, complexity, efficiency, and pronoun omission. 9783631640128 3631640129�{t-N�v�eS�S`!Cultural Reflection In Management#New Horizons In Management SciencesSuBkowski, Aukasz�Culture in management is an important issue from both theoretical and practical points of view. Culture is a universal medium, in which people act and organisations are submerged. It is a basis for all processes, such as communication; and it also remains an open and ambiguous phenomenon. This book deals with different visions of culture in management, emphasising epistemological and methodological pluralism, and the need for the development of new, creative concepts of culture. The book presents reflections on the most significant cognitive problems of cultural currents, provides an analysis of well-known and popular functionalist concepts of culture in management and ends with a presentation of less popular perspectives. 9783631805527 3631805527_g�N�/O<\�TyY�v���0�$R�v�V�P05Frances Burney And Her Readers.

This corpus of eriugena's poetry includes recent discoveries of new items. Works laid under contribution by the poet have also been expanded. De imagine represents the latin translation of gregory of nyssa's treatise on the creation of man (de opificio hominis), a text that had already attracted the attention of dionysius exiguus in the sixth century. Probably a juvenile work, it witnesses to eriugena's interests for translating greek texts and in this respect can be paralleled to major texts like the translation of maximus the confessor and of dionysius the areopagite. Moreover, large portions of the text were paraphrased or directly employed in the periphyseon and, later on, were used by william of st thierry in his de natura corporis et animae.This new critical edition is based on the collation of the two extant manuscripts, compared against the greek text, and is accompanied by a source apparatus that also highlights the reprises in periphyseon and the parallel passages in de natura corporis. 9789353883522 9353883520pS�^(WT�T�V:)R�v�T�SR�v�v�N\O(uIndia In The United Nations%Interplay Of Interests And Principles C.S.R.

It intentionally centers the expertise of black parents, challenging what is considered knowledge, whose knowledge counts, and how knowledge can be co-generated for learning, sharing and advocacy. The book speaks directly to black parents on the autism journey. To right systemic racial inequities and to cultivate culturally responsive practices, it is critical for practitioners and professionals to understand what is known about black families experiences with autism in general and how these experiences differ because of our intersecting identities. University faculty and students in programs involving medicine, speech and language pathology,< occupational therapy, nursing, political science, school psychology, teaching, special education and leadership can benefit from the wisdom offered by these parents. 9781433174193 9781509540877 1509540873S_b�/f�v�ePWhen I Say Yes Carolin EmckeeHow should we talk about desire, power and equality in the wake of the #me too debate? for carolin emcke, bestselling author and winner of the german peace prize, the debate demonstrates one thing above all: a conversation about abuse and sexuality has emerged that can no longer be stifled. Too many questions remain unanswered: which images and concepts shape our imaginings of desire and revulsion? how is violence exposed and obstructed? how do the norms and structures into which men, women and those in between must fit get constructed? what gets hushed up, and who remains powerless? how can the plurality of desire and sexuality be expressed, without sacrificing their intricacies? by interrogating her own experiences as well as social practices, music and literature, emcke demonstrates the enduring complexity of the relationship between sexuality and truth. 9781509540884 9783631806678 3631806671(WckIN��T�T�[��v�N�e��KN�X�sQ�NckIN���vT�T�[���N�e��ċ0OMA Pentecostal Voice On The Joint Declaration On The Doctrine Of JustificationLJoint Declaration On The Doctrine Of Justification: A Pentecostal AssessmentElsadanam, Isaac�The joint declaration on the doctrine of justification which is considered to be 'a milestone on the journey of ecumenism' has a very significant place in the theological-ecumenical realm since it hoped to overcome the disunity between the protestant churches and the catholic church at large. This work analyzes and redefines the jddj from a pentecostal perspective, and proposes a new pentecostal view of ecumenism for this century. The major questions that are considered here are: what is the ecumenical and ecclesiastical significance of this joint declaration in the 21st century, what are the neglected theological elements in the joint declaration, what are the controversial issues connected to the jddj and what challenge can it give to the present world of christianity?. The jddj has become a basis for theological agreement and further discussions. This study also brings out ecumenical and theological understandings of the pentecostal church and substantiates the pentecostal assessment of the jddj. 9781433165931 1433165937�[-N�V^�VTg�v�eƉ҉::NUO-N�V�law0New Perspectives On China s Late Imperial PeriodWhy China SleptLeung, Patrick426�The book offers new perspectives on the history of china s late imperial period and presents a much-needed novel explanation for china s stagnation and decline in recent centuries.

Economics studies resource allocations in an uncertain market environment. As a generally applicable quantitative analytic tool for uncertain events, probability and statistics have been playing an important role in economic research. Econometrics is statistical analysis of economic and financial data. In the past four decades or so, economics has witnessed a so-called "empirical revolution" in its research paradigm, and as the main methodology in empirical studies in economics, econometrics has been playing an important role. It has become an indispensable part of training in modern economics, business and management.This book develops a coherent set of econometric theory, methods and tools for economic models. It is written as a textbook for graduate students in economics, business, management, statistics, applied mathematics, and related fields.�Preface; introduction to econometrics; general regression analysis; classical linear regression models; linear regression models with i< ndependent observations; linear regression models with dependent observations; linear regression models under conditional heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation; instrumental variables regression; generalized method of moments estimation; maximum likelihood estimation and quasi-maximum likelihood estimation; modern econometrics: retrospect and prospect; bibliography; index;iGraduate students in economics, business, management, statistics, applied mathematics, and related fields 9789811220142 981122014X"mathematics/ mathematics education�e�RaWpef[Ye�� �wS1�t��N�[��!Mathematics Teaching In SingaporeLee Ngan Hoe Et AlHThis book series will provide readers with the landscape of mathematics teaching practices in singapore classroom.

To achieve this, companies must focus on implementing strategic management that allows managers to manage and lead continuous change, creativity, innovation, learning, productivity, speed, and effectiveness of their activities that turn them into constant value generators. Managers must also possess personal competences such as initiative, resilience, assumption of risk, creativity, networking, empathy, negotiation, self-control, self-knowledge, and the ability to turn difficulties into opportunities. These capabilities are important in the context of the fourth industrial revolution because they will allow organizations to cope with the highly changing environment that will enable them to consolidate their growth and profitability. 9789353882952 9353882958pS�^�vY�N?eV{:(W�Ra��vNLu-NuX[India s F< oreign PolicySurviving In A Turbulent World&Edited By Arvind Gupta And Anil WadhwaLWritten by foreign policy experts, academics and practioners, this book develops the frameworks and strategies for india s foreign policy that can be adopted to meet the emerging challenges and non-traditional threats in the new world order.

The book focuses on the interdisciplinary relationship between religion and art during pre- and post-vatican ii ireland. The importance of irishness and nationalism is shown by the artist s early secular work of the 1930s and 1940s. His apprenticeship under harry clarke (1889-1931) was pivotal for his principal career as a stained glass artist. However, his departure from the harry clarke stained glass studios in 1940 allowed him to gradually move away from clarke s influence and to develop his own artistic identity. King was also a talented illustrator for the capuchin annual and the father mathew record. From the late 1940s to the early 1970s, his awareness of the work of other artists in ireland, england and europe led him to engage with modernism. 9780813068169 0813068169vsocial studies|sociology & anthropology|anthropology|social & cultural anthropology//history & archaeology|archaeologyASmQN�~/O)RyQ�v�sŖ�Wcw�_�SvQYeO>Maya Christians And Their Churches In Sixteenth-century Belize Maya StudiesElizabeth Graham�"an important and innovative study that brings a good number of fascinating archaeological findings to bear on the process of christian conversion in the colonial maya world.

In fact, even with decades of research in home language use in the classroom, there are still classrooms worldwide where learners are deprived of the opportunity of building their self-esteem, confidence, and autonomy by communicating with their native language. The global nature of communication requires speakers to use all the languages in their repertoire effectively, thus reinforcing the need to encourage home language use in classrooms.Transformative pedagogical perspectives on home language use in classrooms is a cutting-edge research publication on the effective use of home language in the classroom that emphasizes the significance of this activity to the success of the overall language development of the learner.

In this dizzying post-truth, post-fact, fake news era, the onslaught and speed of potentially untrue, incorrect, or fabricated information (some crafted and weaponized, some carelessly shared) can cause a loss of our intellectual bearings. If we fail to have a common truthful basis for discussions of opinion and policy, the integrity of our democracy is at risk. This up-to-date anthology is designed to provide a survey of technological, ethical, and legal issues raised by falsehoods, particularly social media misinformation. The volume explores visual and data dissemination, business practices, international perspectives, and case studies. With misinformation and misleading information being propagated using a variety of media such as memes, data, charts, photos, tweets, posts, and articles, an understanding of the theory, mechanisms, and changing communication landscape is essential to move in the right direction with academic, industry, and government initiatives to inoculate ourselves from the dangers of fake news. 9781433159565 9780889616158 0889616159�social studies|society & culture: general|cultural studies|popular culture//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|gender studies: women//performing arts|film/ tv & radio|films/ cinema//performing arts|film/ tv & radio|television//interdi �R�b'Y�v�YsYNAmL��eSWomen And Pop Culture In CanadaLaine Zisman NewmancThe first book of its kind, this volume explores women and non-binary people in popular culture in canada, with a focus on intersectional analysis of settler colonialism, race, white privilege, ability, and queer representations and experiences in diverse media.

That is why, not only does the research contest the use of such terms, but it also argues that bilingualism is a much more compound and adequate term as well as an analytic framework for the study of bilingual productions.

This book examines how citizens encounter and perform new sorts of rights, duties, opportunities and challenges through the internet. By disrupting prevailing understandings of citizenship and cyberspace, the authors highlight the dynamic relationship between these two concepts. Rather than assuming that these are static or established "facts" of politics and society, the book shows how the challenges and opportunities presented by the internet inevitably impact upon the action and understanding of political agency. In doing so, it investigates how we conduct ourselves in cyberspace through digital acts. 9780367494834 0367494833�]N4.0��{tN�] zf[�vcb0���RN㉳Q�eHh Industry 4.0?Challenges, Trends, And Solutions In Management And Engineering#Manufacturing Design And Technology-Edited By Carolina Machado And J.

These implications are identified by means of the philosophia perennis exemplified in the fundamental principles of st thomas aquinas. Since the first principle in moral philosophy is the last end, and man's last end cannot be known except by revelation, it is only by accepting the role of handmaid of theology that political philosophy can be adequately constituted. Integralism: a manual of political philosophy is a handbook for those who seek to understand the consequences of this integration of faith and reason for political, economic and individual civic life. It will also serve as a scholastic introduction to political philosophy for those new to the subject. t���Tf[xvz���Wb�!h 2020-06-17 9780719088568 0719088569history/early modern historySb �'Y�^�V �1660-1800t^$Making The British Empire, 1660 1800Studies In Imperialism Jason PeaceyBThis book is based on the latest research, and involves stimulating new ideas from some of the most important scholars working in the field of imperial history.

In this insightful new study, brendan mcinerny fills this gap, situati< ng balthasar s trinitarian theology in conversation both with the wider christian theological tradition and with his non-christian intellectual contemporaries. Drawing from across balthasar s extensive body of works, mcinerny argues that balthasar s vivid description of the immanent trinity provides a way to speak of how  god is love in himself, beyond his relationship to creatures. He then shows how balthasar s speculation into the immanent trinity serves as the substructure of his theology of deification. For balthasar, what we say about the inner life of god matters because we are called to share in that very life through christ and the holy spirit, to the glory of god the father. 9781526138477 1526138476�y�e���:(W�� N�R�eW�4Y^:W�y�e;NIN�T�b�b�v�� Race Talk?Languages Of Racism And Resistance In Neapolitan Street Markets$Racism, Resistance And Social Change Antonia Dawes�Race talk is about multilingual language practices in racially diverse street markets in naples, southern italy.

Karamanski's sweeping maritime history demonstrates the far-ranging impact that the tools and infrastructure developed for navigating the great lakes had on the national economies, politics, and environment of continental north america. Synthesizing popular as well as original historical scholarship, karamanski weaves a colorful narrative illustrating how disparate private and government interests transformed these vast and dangerous waters into the largest inland water transportation system in the world. Karamanski explores both the navigational and sailing tools of first nations peoples and the dismissive and foolhardy attitude of early european maritime sailors. He investigates the role played by commercial boats in the underground railroad, as well as how the federal development of crucial navigational resources exacerbated sectionalism in the antebellum united states. Ultimately mastering the inland sea shows the undeniable environmental impact of technologies used by the modern commercial maritime industry. 9780776628905 07766289094bisac category: education | professional development����f[/g�7b��V~��~��6RKN�eEBeyond The Academic Gateway: Looking Back On The Tenure-track Journey5Timothy Sibbald; Victoria Handford; Cecile BadenhorstPTenure is a pivotal decision for the academy. If it is earned it provides security and permanence, creating further academic freedom to pursue research and interests important to the institution and to society. If it is not earned then the peer review process provides clarification for why it has not being earned. This book brings together lived experiences of academics around the time of the tenure decision. While the book is stand-alone, it has the same collection of authors who wrote about their tenure-track experiences in the academic gateway, making the pair of books a remarkable longitudinal collection. The authors in this book explore the complex relationship between academics, the academy as an ideal, and universities as an enactment of that ideal. Personal growth is evident and shows diversity of experience, as the maturing relationships with the role and workplace unfurl. Where tenure-track is a very personal journey, the period around tenure is necessarily a form of engagement with peers. Yet it has challenges, particularly in a milieu where academic freedom is being nurtured. 9781476681382 1476681384sperforming arts|music|discographies & buyer's guides//performing arts|music|music: styles & genres|rock & pop musicRNKNLk�U_�[U_�v�[tecWSThe Songs Of Genesis)A Complete Guide To The Studio Recordings Steve Aldous�Quintessentially british, genesis spearheaded progressive rock in the 1970s, evolving into a chart-topping success through the end of the millennium.

Immediately after independence, argentina designed a national project for the selection of western european immigrants in order to build an economically viable society. Paradoxically, argentina welcomed many more local latin americans, as well as jewish and middle eastern immigrants. Still today, argentines are quick to blame latin american immigrants for crime, drug violence, and increasing the number of people living in shantytowns. Albarrac�n discusses how the current macri administration, possibly emulating the trump administration's immigration policies, has rolled back some of the rights awarded to immigrants by law in 2003 through an executive order issued in 2017. Albarrac�n explains the roles of the executive and legislative branches in enacting these policies and determines the influence of various factors throughout this process. 9780268107659 0268107653�bisac category: social science | abortion & birth control / law | international / political science | world | caribbean & latin american / law | medical law & legislation�bN�2m�T�R�R�k�vX΀� 0�2m�NCglQ�~ 0�v�l�_q_�T+Abortion In Latin America And The Caribbean;The Legal Impact Of The American Convention On Human RightsLigia De Jes�s Castaldi�This new and original study by ligia castaldi is the first major publication to analyze in detail the abortion laws of the latin american and caribbean nations that are parties to the american convention on human rights.

N. Gade - Foreword By Michael Onyebuchi EzefMany have argued that ubuntu was a formative influence on the post-apartheid truth and reconciliation commission (trc), south africa s famous transitional justice mechanism. A discourse on african philosophy: a new perspective on ubuntu and transitional justice in south africa challenges and contextualizes this view in a way that not only provides new findings and reflections on ubuntu and the trc, but also contributes to the field of african philosophy. One of christian b. N. Gade s key findings, founded on qualitative interviews in south africa, is that some former trc commissioners and committee members question the importance of ubuntu in the trc process. Another is that there are several differing and historically developing interpretations of ubuntu, some of which have evident political implications and reflect non-factual and creative uses of history. 9781498512251 ���R�T'Yf[,�T[O'Yf[ 9781498513234 1498513239�hm-�^���T N^:Ozzm�S�_^y#W+Merleau-ponty And God: Hallowing The HollowBy Michael P.

Berman s merleau-ponty and god: hallowing the hollow examines issues in the philosophy of religion through the phenomenological and existential writings of the french philosopher maurice merleau-ponty (1908 1961). Merleau-ponty addressed issues like the nature of faith, the problem of evil, and the love and judgment of god. Throughout the book berman explains and critically interrogates the religious perspectives articulated in merleau-ponty s thought. Merleau-ponty challenges us to think through these issues but always with an eye to our embodiment and perceptual experience. In this vein, merleau-ponty and god fleshes out the french philosopher s treatment of god in his writings.Merleau-ponty and god will appeal to those interested in the philosophy of religion (inside and outside the academy), as well as scholars and students of merleau-ponty, continental philosophy, phenomenology, or existentialism. 9781498513210 9781498550017 1498550010�g�b�V�[ςyO��T-N�v*N�Nl;NtStudying And Teaching W.C.

Hanifi baris develops his arguments with an historical examination and finds apathy towards and a resistance to state-building in kurdistan. Accordingly, baris argues, this tendency to establish self-government with distaste to state-building has enabled major kurdish movements in turkey and syria to develop a form of political community that constitutes a viable alternative to those based on theocratic, imperial and national sovereignty. Thus, baris concludes, rather than being a conflict between competing nationalisms, the current kurdish conflict in turkey and syria is between competing visions of political community. 9781787073043 1787073041P�4Yv^ۏ؏/fR_��sQ�N'k2m�v�VM| ����N�TR_^\�v‰�p"Pulling Together Or Pulling Apart?=Perspectives On Nationhood, Identity, And Belonging In EuropeNationalisms Across The Globe!Belenguer, Susana / Brady, NicolaDIn the aftermath of the twentieth century s raging warfare, attempts were made to create an environment in which new relationships between european nations could be built around a common identity. Yet, in the twenty-first century, identity conflicts are gaining a new intensity in parts of the continent. In the analysis of some sub-state nationalist parties, the prospect of european union membership reduces the economic and political risks of secession.

Milbauer And James Sutton�Prompted by centuries of warfare, political oppression, natural disasters, and economic collapses, exile has had an enormous impact not only on individuals who have undergone transplantation from one culture to another, but also on the host societies they have joined and those worlds they have left behind. Written by prominent literary critics, creative authors, and artists, the essays gathered within exile in global literature and culture: homes found and lost will meditate upon the painful journeys geographic, spiritual, emotional, psychological brought about due to exilic rupture, loss and dislocation. Yet, exile also fosters potential pleasures and rewards: to extend scholar martin tucker s formulation, wherever the exile might land in flight, he bears with him the sweetness of survival, the triumph of transcendence, the luxury of liminality, the invitation to innovate and invent in new lands. 9780367497897 9780299328405 0299328406  ^J�Wl�NLu�vZZ�Y݋�2The Discourse Of Marriage In The Greco-roman World!Jeffrey Beneker; Georgia Tsouvala�

the famous polymath plutarch often discussed the relationship between spouses in his works, including marriage advice, dialogue on love, and many of the parallel lives< . In this collection, leading scholars explore the marital views expressed in plutarch's works and the art, philosophy, and literature produced by his contemporaries and predecessors. Through aesthetically informed and sensitive modes of analysis, these contributors examine a wealth of representations including violence in weddings and spousal devotion after death. The discourse of marriage in the greco-roman world demonstrates the varying conceptions of an institution that was central to ancient social and political life and remains prominent in the modern world. This volume will contribute to scholars' understanding of the era and fascinate anyone interested in historic depictions of marriage and the role and status of women in the late hellenistic and early imperial periods. 9780813232737 08132327322religious studies|christianity|history of religion�e�y� OYe��h���Q�NN ��~� �OW�NN�N�S/T:yN�~���v�~N%Catechesis For The New EvangelizationDVatican Ii, John Paul Ii, And The Unity Of Revelation And Experience Brian Pedraza�Popes francis, benedict xvi, and john paul ii have called the present a time of new evangelization for the church and have stressed the importance of catechesis for this mission. John paul ii claimed that this renewal of the church's mission is grounded in the teachings of the second vatican council. Nevertheless, approaches to catechesis in the conciliar and postconciliar era have varied greatly, as evidenced by the shifts in catechetical practice effected by the modern catechetical movement. Just as the dominant forms of theology changed from neo-scholastic to anthropological approaches so, too, did catechesis move from catechism-based approaches to more anthropological models based upon human experience. In light of this context, catechesis for the new evangelization examines the theological foundations of catechesis in the church's understanding of divine revelation and its reception by the human person, especially as found in the conciliar constitutions, dei verbum and gaudium et spes. 9780786460366 0786460369�fiction//literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: general|literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900//literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: fiction/ novelists & prose writers�~Y)R�N�e�N\�-N�vR_S�~�XNsY'`l(�9Domesticated Gentlemen And Femininity In Victorian NovelsJennifer Beauvais+Domestic issues, chastity, morality, marriage and love are concerns we typically associate with victorian female characters. But what happens when men in victorian novels begin to engage in this type of feminine discourse? while we are familiar with certain victorian women seeking freedom by moving beyond the domestic sphere, there is an equally interesting movement by the domestic man into the private space through his performance of femininity. This book defines the domesticated bachelor, examines the effects of the blurring of boundaries between the public and private spheres, and traces the evolution of the public discourse on masculinity in novels such as bronte's shirley, braddon's lady audley's secret, eliot's daniel deronda, and stevenson's the strange case of dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde. This bachelor, along with his female counterpart, the new woman, opens up for discussion new definitions of victorian masculinity and gender boundaries and blurs the rigid distinction between the gendered spaces thought to be in place during the victorian period. 9782503583518 2503583512SO��ZSir���z�/g�[�T6eυ�[�v5uP[���N+o8nThe Museum As Experience9An Email Odyssey Through Artists' And Collectors' MuseumsMuseums And IdeasDario Libero Gamboni�Museums created by artists and/or collectors are a favorite destination of museum lovers and raise important issues in connection with the history and evolution of art museums at large. They have developed in a critical relation to large, collective or  encyclopaedic museums, defending a primacy of experience and intimacy. And they remain attached to the persons of their founders, functioning as monuments and even mausoleums. Yet despite their appeal, a recent surge of new creations and a wealth of monographic documentation, no general study of the topic has been attempted. The museum as experience describes and analyses the phenomenon as a whole, from its beginnings around 1800 to the present and from its european origin to a worldwide extension. It examines in depth fifteen case studies distributed across the globe and chosen for their representative character and the quality of their original arrangement. In order to do justice to their meaningful relation to the spatial context and to their hospitality towards the subjective visitor, the book is written as a travelogue and organizes a dialogue between two narrators, an architect and an art historian. 9783631802380 3631802382D�&^_c�[N6RT�����~Nm6R���[?e�l6R�^�vq_�TCollateral Damage Autocracy?;On The Impact Of Economic Sanctions On The Political System Development Economics And PolicyLechner, Tobias 9780881467406 0881467405�literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: fiction/ novelists & prose writers//literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary reference works|literary companions//literature & literary studies|lh�_������_pQ�~̑ eY�^�~�vs^b��S�N Sign Language-Reading Flannery O'connor's Graphic Narrative Ruth Reiniche�Flannery o'connor is unique in that she is not only familiar with seventeenth-century emblematic representations of scriptural truth, but she is also knowledgeable of the conventions of twentieth-century art forms. Her characters are illuminated by textual images formulated from the juxtaposition of scripture, seventeenth- and twentieth-century archetypes, and street detritus that inhabits pictorial sequences exceeding the boundaries of time and diachronically upending o'connor's narrative world. O'connor's undergraduate single panel cartoons are an excellent starting point when tracing the chronological development of her stylized graphic narrative. The sardonic captions are illustrated by characters wh< o are compositions of deeply gouged lines and dots. In her first novel, wise blood, some of the cartoonish grotesques remain, but the conventions of painting prevail in the novel. Her characters are momentarily frozen in still life tableaux vivants or in montages, resulting in jarring juxtapositions. In the violent bear it away, o'connor recreates ""snapshot"" moments, not unlike those inexpertly captured by the twentieth-century amateur photographer with a brownie box camera. 9781498570800 1498570801 ck�_�[P�:Ye���[A~c��v�W@x6Mindful Alignment: Foundations Of Educator FlourishingMindfulness In Education2By Sabre Cherkowski; Kelly Hanson And Keith WalkerfMindful alignment: foundations of educator flourishing develops a foundation for educators to flourish by promoting self-awareness as a mindful approach to ongoing professional inquiry.

The authors present an approach to personal, professional learning that encourages educators to slow down, create space to notice, and then nurture their intentions and actions toward fulfilling their purposes and passions, in order to grow a sense of flourishing at work and overcome the challenges presented by teaching in ever increasingly fast-paced, rapidly-changing, accountability-driven professional environments. 9781498521581 1498521584���TKQ�WS ^N�WcwYe`�`��[�Wcw��SO�v㉄gMJean-luc Nancy And Christian Thought: Deconstructions Of The Bodies Of ChristBy Christina SmerickcJean-luc nancy and christian thought explores nancy s deconstruction of christianity via the various bodies of christ that accumulate in christian doctrine, specifically the incarnated body, the resurrected body, and the body of christ the church. The work ties nancy s deconstruction to the writings of the early church, demonstrating that the seeds of auto-deconstruction are indeed sown in the doctrines of western christianity. It then provides brief sketches of current theological works that touch upon similar deconstructive themes. Thus, the work aims to flesh out nancy s deconstruction for the non-theologian, tying his complex scans of christian thought to early patristics, and also aims to help theologians unfamiliar with deconstruction or with nancy s work recognize the value of the deconstructive method for unpacking christian doctrine and practice. 9781498523202 149852320X�]/g\O:NN�y>yOʋ�e� O�~�v�R�~�O�N�ThQteP�^PWitchcraft As A Social Diagnosis: Traditional Ghanaian Beliefs And Global Health3By Roxane Richter; Thomas Flowers And Elias Bongmba&This interdisciplinary manuscript examines one nonprofit s five years of medical outreach in the condemned witches village of gnani in ghana, focusing on the clashes between traditional ghanaian beliefs, african religious tenets, and contemporary western medical science.

More and more victims of intimate partner violence are reaching out to police, prosecutors and judges only to be sorely disappointed, even betrayed. While laws and programs have multiplied over the last few decades to address domestic violence, the country is getting safer for almost everyone except for women who have, or have had, abusive male intimate partners.

Although embracing very different political programs, the leaders of these two forms of nationalism shared the belief that the country s nineteenth-century liberal elites had betrayed the country by seeking to impose an alien ideology at odds with the supposedly true nature of the argentine people. The result, in their view, was an ongoing conflict between the  false argentina of the liberals and the  authentic or real nation of true argentines. Despite their commonalities, scholarship has yet to pay significant attention to the interconnections between these two variants of argentine nationalism. Identity and nationalism in modern argentina�fills this gap. In this study, jeane delaney explores the origins and development of argentina s two forms of nationalism by linking nationalist thought to ongoing debates over argentine identity. 9780268107895< 9780472038459 04720384515european history|second world war|abnormal psychology�N�N�_-N�vb�N��_�V�XuQ�SvQ(W��_�v�f�R�S�SThe War In Their Minds7German Soldiers And Their Violent Pasts In West Germany8Social History, Popular Culture, And Politics In Germany!Svenja Goltermann; Philip Schmitz 9780299328702 0299328708eY�� �N�_̑KQ�e�T�N�v�f1�����u�vl�e�PNN>y:SHOle Hendricks And His Tunebook: Folk Music And Community On The Frontier'Languages And Folklore Of Upper MidwestAmy ShawnOle hendricks was an immigrant both representative and exceptional - a true artistic talent who nevertheless lived a familiar immigrant experience.

The religious symbolism of this city and its centrality to major religious faiths has never faded and has become increasingly vital to various strands of twentieth-century religious nationalisms. The political fate of jerusalem was inevitably mired in international political struggles of the cold war, particularly after the united states inherited britain s mantle as the ultimate arbiter of regional conflicts and strategic disputes. The asymmetrical balance of military power between israel and jordan made superpower intervention both inevitable and unpredictable.

By conducting in-depth interviews with diversity policy developers and implementers within the independent school community, french explores current efforts toward racial equity and the relationship between racial equity and diversity. Data collected from interviews are supplemented with numerical data from the national association of independent schools that chronicles enrollment and employment of people of color, as well as with content analysis of published materials from the independent school community. Using critical race theory to frame this critique, french argues that the diversity movement, by not seeking to challenge the current state of inequality in a meaningful way, only serves to strengthen the segregated and unequal status quo. 153810475X 9781538126851 1538126850100gO'Y�v�eP[(W�~�~SO�� ��f�eHr9The 100 Greatest Days In New York Sports, Updated EditionBy Stuart Miller7New york city sports history, like the city itself, is noisy, confident, and endlessly fascinating.

Waite And Darren A. Wheeler�Given the ubiquity of online technologies in the lives of high school and college students, universities are increasingly turning to social media for the purpose of organizational communication. This book shines a light on these practices in order to better understand how platforms such as facebook, twitter, instagram, and snapchat are being used within the realm of student affairs. Each chapter will explore a different dimension of student affairs (e.G., admissions, career services, student health services) to provide an overview of key challenges and how new social media tools can be used to solve them. By providing examples that illustrate these evolving trends, this book is intended to help higher education professionals develop creative social media solutions that are appropriate for their own situations as they seek to strategically integrate social media into their student affairs efforts. 9781475845754 9781498528825 1498528821lPaƋ�T�s�XL��R;NIN�v�gb�:N�bQeNLu ��Q\OZClimate Consciousness And Environmental Activism In Composition: Writing To Save The WorldEcocritical Theory And Practice�Edited By Joseph R.

Goode�Now more than ever in a time when americans still do not believe that humans are the primary cause of earth's climate change crisis, the burden on educators to inform, challenge, and motivate students about sustainability is greater than it ever has been. On college campuses, writing intensive courses, often located within first-year or general education curricula, are an ideal place to take up this charge because of the flexibility of their content and the high volume of students that they reach.< In this volume, a varied group of composition instructors with wide ranges and types of experiences provides best practices for bringing issues surrounding climate change into the writing classroom. From literature-based composition and creative writing courses to design thinking workshops to seminars "against sustainability," the authors in this volume lay out a multitude of possibilities for blending writing and environmental concerns that fellow practitioners can easily adopt or modify for their own use. 9781498527101 1498527108S��kl�eg�vt^��ĉ��T荇eS�N�RAAge Norms And Intercultural Interaction In Colonial North AmericaBy Jason Eden And Naomi Eden-This interdisciplinary study examines how age norms shaped the experiences of europeans, native americans, and african americans in colonial north america, exploring how diverse population groups conceptualized the human life course and how they adhered to culturally specific sets of beliefs about the young and old. Utilizing evidence drawn from a variety of secondary and primary sources, the authors also show that, as various cultural groups interacted in colonial north america, their views of specific age cohorts evolved and clashed in important ways. Although age is a category of analysis often overlooked by scholars, this book demonstrates that it was pivotal for everyone who lived in early north america, including the various native american tribes that inhabited the eastern part of the continent. 9781498527088 9781498561532 1498561535�Ǐ\�4YۏL����[��[Ɖu�N �o:y�TCg�RNLeadership Through The Lens: Interrogating Production, Presentation, And Power�Edited By Creshema R.

This book focuses on one of the two most common modes of audiovisual translation for this type of product: subtitling. The naturalness that is expected in television dialogue together with the spoken-to-written medium conversion entailed in subtitling pose a challenge for professionals, who have been typically blamed for neutralising the source dialogue. Little to no empirical evidence, however, has been provided to effectively address this issue to date.

To this day, the star trek franchise strives to inspire viewers to find beauty in diversity and progress. In social movements and the collective identity of the star trek fandom: boldly going where no fans have gone before, david g.

Loconto analyzes the cultural phenomena of star trek through a social psychological approach, using symbolic interaction theory and strategic ritualization theory as well as ideas from habermas and foucault to track the fandom s movements, values, and evolution. 9781793607096 1793607095fkhV �6eeQ�TCg)R�1945-1991t^�Qb-N�v��Vd�W[IArms, Revenue, And Entitlements: U.S. Deficits In The Cold War, 1945-1991By William Mannen�In the second half of the twentieth century, strategic and economic conditions compelled the u.S. Government to start running budget deficits on a permanent basis. A new role of global leadership in containing communism required a robust military establishment. The government overwhelmingly relied for general revenue on an income tax code that also could not impede economic growth. And general revenue increasingly funded transfer payments in an expanding entitlement state. Fiscal overstretch resulted in unending deficits which continue to this day. At first the shift to deficit normality was not obvious. The truman and eisenhower administrations attempted to hold the line on deficits, but this commitment gradually weakened in later years. Arms, revenue, and entitlements: 1945-1991 looks at the cold war era from a budgetary perspective, how defense spending, income tax reductions, and entitlement programs all contributed to the emergence of the deficit normative state. 9780128199466 01�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������28199466RNR �:zf��u`ؚHe�v�^Q{�s�XStart-up Creation)The Smart Eco-efficient Built EnvironmentPacheco-torgal, FernandoRStart-up creation is the most distinctive feature of the entrepreneurial knowledge-based economy.

Not only is there a significant decline in achievement for students born in the second half of the year but they also experience higher rates of failure which negatively impacts self-esteem and reduces future success.Meanwhile, more capable students experience unfairness because of the school s extraordinary effort at helping their failing students.

Eastman-While some people find new opportunities in the postindustrial economy, many working-class men find their social and economic well-being collapse as blue-collar jobs are outsourced and offshored to the global labor market. Faced with limited options to earn a living-wage, many of these blue-collar workers are instead changing who they are, embracing a deviant, rebellious identity expressed by the contemporary southern rock revival musicians studied in this book. Although loosely based in the traditional culture and lifestyle of the southeastern united states, contemporary southerness has little to do with region but instead is a way to rebel from the very institutions blue-collar men traditionally used as the basis of their masculine pride: family, education, employment, military service, and religion. 9781498531139 9781498529204 1498529208 0bkp-N�v^�2m�YsY:b�NN�Q�z-N�v�ef[݋� 0AAfrican Women Under Fire: Literary Discourses In War And Conflict�By Pauline Ada Uwakweh - Contributions By E milie Diouf; Moussa Issifou; Tendai Mangena; Nanjala Nyabola; Julie Papaioannou; Melissa R.

Drawing from ethnographic research conducted between 2004 to 2016, luis galanes valldejuli captures the larger social conflict derived from the arrival of tourists, who brought change to the island in the form of land speculation, work conflicts, racism, language barriers, and neoliberalism. 9781498553131 1498553133/O�T�_)R ^�n�m:�Ǐў�f�v�h\�6Multiple Marginality And Gangs: Through A Prism DarklyBy James Diego VigilvMultiple marginality and gangs: through a prism darkly unravels the youth gang problem in a multidimensional approach that encompasses the place, status, social control, subcultural, and identity facets of urban street gangs. The power of place and the status of persons and groups are the major forces that generate the many situations and conditions that give rise to gangs. In its simplest trajectory, multiple marginality can be modeled as follows: place/status to street socialization to street subculture to street identity. It is the actions and reactions among them that we fathom. As we witness detrimental or absent family influence, we also observe weaker, underfunded schools that limit educators reach. At the same time, there has been an increase in the militarization of law enforcement to deal with the youth street populations, the heaviest hand is that of the police. 9781793614094 1793614091�'`+RYe�����Ǐ�N�SƉ҉�N㉹�SSTransgender Educators: Understanding Marginalization Through An Intersectional LensBy Michele Dow�This book argues that despite the greater visibility of transgender people today, their lives as professional teachers and administrators remain enormously difficult. Workplace discrimination against transgender educators continues to run rampant, especially outside of the traditionally liberal enclaves. In fact, if their workplace is a safe haven which it rarely is, many transgender educators lead double lives as professionals during the day and marginalized people outside of their workplace. Even the most liberal communities may provide superficial support while continuing to hold longstanding prejudices as this study demonstrates. As a result, nearly 46% of trans educators remain in the closet, and those that are out must endure more subtle yet determined efforts to isolate them. The author's research shows that 100% of survey respondents indicated they believed they were fired or not promoted because of their gender identity. 9781119706281 1119706289bY�O�TLr�{t �,{�VHr�yrCg�v�eNLuALuxury Brand Management, Fourth Edition: A New World Of PrivilegeMichel Chevalier 0268106703}bisac category: religion | islam | theology / religion | islam | history / political science | colonialism & post/colonialism 9780268105945 0268105944�religious studies|aspects of religion (non/christian)|theology//philosophy|ethics & moral philosophy//philosophy|philosophy: metaphysics & ontology�W̑ ^ nfyQ�t�bNT�s�N�6q�l�S��_�vb_ � Nf[�S)Erich Przywara And Postmodern Natural Law&A History Of The Metaphysics Of MoralsGraham James Mcaleer�Graham mcaleer's erich przywara and postmodern natural law is the first work to present in an accessible way the thinking of erich przywara (1889-1972) for an english-speaking audience. Przywara's work remains little known to a broad catholic audience, but it had a major impact on many of the most celebrated theologians of the twentieth century, including hans urs von balthasar, karl rahner, edith stein, and karl barth. Przywara's ground-breaking text analogia entis (the analogy of being) brought theological metaphysics into the modern era. While the concept of "analogy of being" is typically understood in static terms, mcaleer explores how przywara transformed it into something dynamic. Mcaleer shows the extension of przywara's thought into a range of disciplines: from a new theory of natural law to an explanation of how misunderstanding the analogy of being lies at the foundation of the puzzles of modernity and postmodernity. 9780268105938.���R�T'Yf[,���R�T'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[ 9783631793169 3631793162g'��vǏ�S020N�~�T21N�~�v�~Nm��Km?Futures Past.

While the field has sparked great hopes for the prediction of economic trends and events throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, economic forecasts have often proved inaccurate or unreliable, thus provoking severe criticism in times of unpredicted crisis. Despite these failures, economic forecasting has not lost its importance. Futures past considers the history and present state of economic forecasting, giving a fascinating account of the changing practices involved, their origins, records, and their implications. By bringing together economists, historians, and sociologists, this volume offers fresh perspectives on the place of forecasting in modern industrial societies, thereby making a broader claim for greater interdisciplinary cooperation in the history of economics. 9781476673011 1476673012�e}Y��^W�r�z5uq_6RGr�NcWS�Qޘ�TAm�ZSOƉ���e�N�vb�RiThe Independent Filmmaker's Guide To The New Hollywood: Success In The Era Of Netflix And Streaming VideoGabriel Campisi�Netflix and its competitors like disney , amazon prime and hulu have brought unprecedented levels of entertainment to consumers everywhere, providing the richest, most abundant aggregate of motion pictures and cinematic television the world has ever seen.

Recent work by historians has now called into question many of the clich�s that still dominate scholarly understandings of the enlightenment s literary, philosophical, and political culture. Yet this work has so far had little impact on the reception of the enlightenment, its key players, debates, and ideas in the disciplines that most rely on its legacy, namely, philosophy and political science. Edited by geoff boucher and henry martyn lloyd, rethinking the enlightenment makes the case for connecting new work in intellectual history with fresh understandings of  continental philosophy and political theory. 9781538120149 1538120143 <\�e\�S�S͋xQ �,{�NHr-Historical Dictionary Of Niger, Fifth Edition!Historical Dictionaries Of AfricaBy Abdourahmane Idrissa[Niger is a crossroad, the gate to the outside for west africans, and the port of entry into west africa for cross-saharan tidings and travelers.

Chinese theater matured into its final format in the 13th century and flourished during the yuan, ming, and qing dynasties. It is a unique, exclusive, and self-sufficient system, whose evolution has received little influence from the west and whose influence on western theaters has been minimal and often misinterpreted.

This notion of god, who is the reason for both stability and progressive change in the world and who is both the infinite source of novel possibilities and the everlasting repository for the finite values, inserts into a reality that is supposedly composed solely of finite entities an entity both infinite and everlasting. By eliminating this notion of god, allan draws on the temporalist foundation of whitehead s views to recover a metaphysics that takes time seriously. By turning to whitehead s later writings, allan shows how this interpretation is developed into an expanded version of the radically temporalist hypothesis, emphasizing the power of finite entities, individually and collectively, to create, sustain, and enhance the dynamic world of which we are a creative part. 9781683401520 1683401522�social studies|sociology & anthropology|anthropology|social & cultural anthropology//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//art/ photography & architecture|art treatments & subjects|individual artists/ art monographs(W�S�]Kb�]6R\O:WpQY��W�eyr�~yQ�T�=N�v�W��h��~ T�N�vfNHandmade In Cuba:Rolando Est�vez And The Beautiful Books Of Ediciones Vig�a5Ruth Behar; Juanamar�a Cordones-cook; Kristin Schwain�This collection is an in-depth examination of ediciones vig�a , an artisanal press that published exquisite books crafted from simple supplies during some of cuba's most dire economic periods.

The current lack of foreign language sources addressing turkish arbitral practice led this dissertation to focus on the turkish legal system. The arbitrability of corporate disputes remains a vague issue in turkish law. Until a consensus exists between the legislative, doctrinal, and adjudicatory dimensions of the law, arbitrating those disputes may have risky sides. The book serves as a guide for corporate practitioners. It includes a detailed analysis of possible risks and pitfalls for parties submitting their disputes to arbitration. This risk analysis precedes a set of proposals to alleviate these inconveniences and grounds to support arbitrability claims. 1475847459 9781498534239 1498534236�p���N�v�1u�ON�[�|^y �qQ�T;NIN�T��sYr'Y< � mJGenoa's Freedom: Entrepreneurship, Republicanism, And The Spanish Atlantic3Empires And Entanglements In The Early Modern WorldBy Matteo Salonia�This book investigates the economic, intellectual and political history of late medieval and early modern genoa and the historical origins of the genoese presence in the spanish atlantic. Salonia describes genoa s late medieval economic expansion and commercial networks through several case studies, from the black sea to southern england, and briefly compares it to the state-run military expansion of venice s empire. The author links the adaptability and entrepreneurial skills of genoese merchants and businessmen to the constitutional history of the genoese commune and to the specific idea of freedom progressively protected by its constitutions and embodied by institutions like the bank of st.

Moreover, this book offers an unprecedented account of the actions with which ferdinand the catholic protected genoese merchants in his dominions and of the later, mutual understanding between the genoese community and emperor charles v during the italian wars, and in particular during the 1520s. 9781498534215 9781498533317 1498533310�NlQqQkSuЏ�R�vaƋ0Rb���aƋ^y݋KFrom Awareness To Commitment In Public Health Campaigns: The Awareness Myth.By Myleea D. Hill And Marceline Thompson-hayes�Attempts to raise awareness on a multitude of health issues may actually be counter-productive and even dangerous to solving contemporary health problems. From awareness to commitment in public health campaigns: the awareness myth discusses several myths of the benefits of raising awareness. Myleea hill and marceline thompson-hayes argue that using awareness as an end-point in public health campaigns is misguided and does more harm than good. They offer a model of the current awareness culture that simply leads to an ever-increasing cycle of awareness without behavioral change or sustained participation and support for causes. Then, they demonstrates how three factors (recognition involvement, knowledge-seeking and education, and participation) intersect to create commitment to solving and alleviating health problems through various methods of communication (social media, mass communication, and interpersonal communication). 9781498558471 149855847X�O���Rir�� g�Rxvz-N�v�N{|��LuFRhetorical Animals: Boundaries Of The Human In The Study Of Persuasion�Edited By Kristian Bj�rkdahl And Alex C.

Gruber; Andrea Guti�rrez; Susan Hafen; Matthew LerbcFor this edited volume, the editors solicited chapters that investigate the place of nonhuman animals in the purview of rhetorical theory; what it would mean to communicate beyond the human community; how rhetoric reveals our "brute roots." in other words, this book investigates themes that enlighten us about likely or possible implications of the animal turn within rhetorical studies. The present book is unique in its focus on the call for nonanthropocentrism in rhetorical studies. Although there have been many hints in recent years that rhetoric is beginning to consider the implications of the animal turn, as yet no other anthology makes this its explicit starting point and sustained objective. Thus, the various contributions to this book promise to further the ongoing debate about what rhetoric might be after it sheds its long-standing humanistic bias. 9781538123577 1538123576hQtSN�vƉGlobalization And Surveillance GlobalizationBy Timothy Erik Str�m�This book offers a lively, accessible, and informative introduction to surveillance through the lens of globalization, and globalization through the lens of surveillance.

Drawing a long historical arc, and freely crisscrossing the global north/south and subjective/material divides, timothy erik str�m convincingly shows how surveillance and capitalism are inextricably linked, illustrating this through in-depth studies on colonial land surveys, the military-industrial complex, google, and china s social credit system. Drawing on a wealth of empirical examples and theoretically informed reflections, his book is an accessible example of engaged scholarship that provides a provocative and critical examination of the uneven and contradictory meanings and consequences of surveillance and globalization. 9781538123584 9781475851205 1475851200 Ye��u`�|�~:�~��f[`N-Education's Ecosystems: Learning Through LifeBy Bertram C.

These musical ideas appear to mimic the ways other authors, particularly romanticists, used music in their works to represent a spiritual ideal artistic realm. Music brought forth the otherworldly, and spoke to the possible transcendence of the human spirit. Yet, poe's music differs from these romantic notions in ways that, although not immediately perceptible in each individual instance, cohere to invert romantic idealism. For poe, artistic transcendence is impossible, the metaphysical realm is unreachable, and humans cannot perceive anything but their own failure of spirit. In this book, i show how we can look at poe's poems and stories on the whole to discover this, and in doing so, unpack some of poe's mysticism along the way. 9781498597777 1498597777�[�P;NIN�v'Y^NtYMb��c6R��V�[�P;NIN�v?e�lSBureaucracy s Masters And Minions: The Politics Of Controlling The U.S. BureaucracyBy Eleanor L. SchiffqIn bureaucracy s masters and minions: the politics of controlling the u.S. Bureaucracy, the author argues that political control of the bureaucracy from the president and the congress is largely contingent on an agency s internal characteristics of workforce composition, workforce responsibilities, and workforce organization. Through a revised principal-agent framework, the author explores an agent-principal model to use the agent as the starting-point of analysis. The author tests the agent-principal model across 14 years and 132 bureaus and finds that both the president and the house of representatives exert influence over the bureaucracy, but agency characteristics such as the degree of politization among the workforce, the type of work the agency is engaged in, and the hierarchical nature of the agency affects how agencies are controlled by their political masters. 9781793616401 179361640XAmL��eS �4� ����TfE���*��e,g6Popular Culture, Conspiracy Theory, And Star Trek TextBy George A.

Kennedy in 1963 ended his effort to deploy american prestige, power to forward progressive change worldwide. Today, there are political forces seeking to stop progressive social, political, economic change. Whatever their reasons, such forces are conspiring to impose authoritarianism to suppress the public s desire for just, democratic governance, government. The brutality, violence, viciousness, racism (dystopia) of authoritarianism is becoming more and more the hallmark of world politics. Perhaps the most glaring aspect of this dystopia is the fact that the american state has been almost continuously at war for the past roughly 30 years  including a sinister, dastardly drone assassination program. 9780268106218 0268106215~bisac category: religion | christian theology | history / religion | christian theology | systematic / religion | spirituality �bQe�Wcw�_up'`�vP`�`%Saving Fear In Christian Spirituality Ann W. Aste< ll418Hailed in sacred scripture as the "beginning of wisdom" (ps 111:10), the "fear of the lord" is seldom mentioned and little understood today. A gift of the spirit and a moral virtue or disposition, the "fear of the lord" also frequently entails emotional experiences of differing kinds: compunction, dread, reverence, wonderment, and awe. Starting with the bible itself, this collection of seventeen essays explores the place of holy fear in christian spirituality from the early church to the present and argues that this fear is paradoxically linked in various ways to fear's seeming opposite, love. Indeed, the charged dynamic of love and fear accounts for different experiences and expressions of christian life in response to changing historical circumstances and events. 9780268107291 0268107297�bisac category: political science | history & theory | general / political science | globalization / political science | comparative politics / philosophy | political / political science | world | europeanhQtSN�1u;NIN�_[�_�e � �XbKQ�~\�T�f<\yrGlobalization And Liberalism$Montesquieu, Tocqueville, And ManentTrevor Shelley�In this learned and wide-ranging book, trevor shelley engages the controversial topic of globalization through philosophical exegesis of great texts. This study illustrates and defends the idea that at the heart of the human world in thinking, reflecting, and acting is the antinomy of the universal and the particular. Various thinkers have emphasized one aspect of this tension over the other. Some thinkers such as rousseau and schmitt have defended pure particularity. Others such as habermas have uncritically welcomed the intimations of the world state. Against these twin extremes of radical nationalism and antipolitical universalism, this book seeks to recover a middle or moderate position, that is, the liberal position. To that end, shelley traces a tradition of french liberal political thinkers who attempt to take account of both sides of the antinomy: montesquieu, tocqueville, and manent. 9781475848939 1475848935�N�R�����x0R�b/gR�e�KQ gsQ.��v�W@x���e�TYe���v�~�~�R�RyFrom Dysfunction To Innovation In Technology: Overcoming Critical Infrastructure And Organizational Dynamics In EducationBy Darryl Vidal�Tools such as blackboard and google classroom have seen wide-scale adoption and standardized implementation in colleges and universities.

In exploring such desire, the contributors to this collection consider the intersections of privilege and marginalization in the context of gay men s lives, and in so doing, argue that as much as experiences of discrimination on the basis of sexuality are shared among many gay men, experiences of discrimination within gay communities are equally as common. Focusing specifically on racialization, the contributors offer insight as to how hierarchies, inequalities, and practices of exclusion serve to bolster the central position accorded to certain groups of gay men at the expense of other groups. Considering how racial desire operates within gay communities allows the contributors to connect contemporary struggles for inclusion and recognition with ongoing histories of marginalization and exclusion. 9781498561563 149856156X�ZSO-N�v�k�u:�h��;����T���N6Disability In The Media: Examining Stigma And Identity)Lexington Studies In Health CommunicationBy Tracy R.

The effects of media representation can be seen both at the level of the individual, with effects on self-identity for those with a disability, and at the level of society as a whole, with these portrayals playing a role in the social construction of disability, often further stigmatizing individuals with disabilities. On all levels, research has ended with a call to media producers, asking those in the entertainment industry to think about how they are portraying disability, to hire actors with disabilities, and to realize that the  supercrip may not always be the most positive portrayal of disability.

Previous studies of annotation have revealed the margins as dynamic textual spaces both shaping and shaped by diverse aesthetic, historical, and political sensibilities. Yet previous studies have also been restricted to notes by or for canonical figures; they have neglected annotation s relation to developments in reading audiences and the book trade; and they have overlooked the interaction, even tension, between prose notes and poetry, a tension reflecting eighteenth-century views of poetry as aesthetically superior to prose. Annotation in eighteenth-century poetry addresses these oversights through a substantial introduction and eleven essays analyzing the printed endnotes and footnote< s accompanying poems written or annotated between 1700 and 1830.Sclassics/ ancient history/ oriental studies / ancient history & archaeology: europe 9781793620156 1793620156�S�Y�e��� N�S؏�S�v�s�[ ��N{|aIN�Tu`aINSPrimordial Time: Its Irreducible Reality, Human Significance, And Ecological ImportBy Donald A. CrosbyiWhat if there is no such thing as a real passage of time? what differences would this idea make for our conception of the world and of our lives in the world? donald a. Crosby s primordial time: its irreducible reality, human significance, and ecological import defends the objective, underived reality of time and its crucial existential and ecological significance by focusing on the qualitative, inner experiences of the passage of time. The time of these inner experiences has often been described as illusory, on the ground that there is no such thing as an objective passage of time. But crosby argues that the firsthand human experience of time, far from being illusory, provides essential evidence of the reality of it evidence complemented by close examination of scientific and philosophical indications of the objective reality of time as against its detractors. 9781793621351 1793621357�N�S>m O�epQN?e�l: Og0 O�bKQ�TΞ�]�Z0Shia Islam And Politics: Iran, Iraq, And LebanonBy Jon Armajani�This book argues that ever since iran s islamic revolution in 1979, which established a shia islamic government in iran, that country s religious and political leaders, have used shia islam as a crucial way of expanding iran s objectives in the middle east and beyond. Since 1979, iran s religious and political leaders have been concerned about iran s security in the face of the hostility and expansionism of the united states and other western countries, and the threats from powerful neighboring sunni leaders and countries. While iran s government has attempted to align itself with shia muslims in various countries, such as iraq and lebanon, against american and sunni expansionism, the iranian government has attempted to religiously nourish and politically mobilize those shias as a matter of principle, not only because of the iranian government s desires to protect iran from external threats. 9780268106416 026810641X�religious studies|religion: general|religious issues & debates|religion & politics//religious studies|christianity|christian churches & denominations|roman catholicism/ roman catholic church//religious studies|religion: general|comparative religionYCQ>yO-N�vYeO�>yO�T?e�l҉r�The Church In Pluralist SocietySocial And Political Roles Cornelius J.

EberlyrThe stunning 2016 election and presidency of donald trump was decades in the making. Three trends since the 1960s created the conditions for his triumph. First, a growing popular discontent with government, long evident in public opinion, created a widespread distrust of established leaders and institutions. Second, america underwent the rise of  professional government. governing professionals are an elite built on merit through occupational accomplishment. They now dominate interest groups, the bureaucracy, courts, presidency, and congress. Many government professionals perceive little need to mobilize the public in the way parties did in previous eras. This has furthered the sense of disconnect among the public and created a self-reinforcing chain. Third, political parties and governing institutions are now polarized into rival teams of ideological, partisan elites. 1475849346 9781498538237 1498538231mKQ�v?e�l`�`Nwm m�wm�v �tY���T4lKbFLocke's Political Thought And The Oceans: Pirates, Slaves, And SailorsBy Sarah Pemberton�This book outlines and analyzes john locke s political thought about the oceans with a focus on law and freedom at sea. The book examines the two treatises of government, in which locke argues that the seas are collectively owned by all humans and are governed by universal natura< l laws that prohibit piracy. Locke s two treatises provides a systematic political theory of the seas that contributes to theories of international law and maritime law, but his text does not answer the practical question of how to enforce law effectively at sea. The book also considers how locke translated his theoretical ideas into practice when he was involved in policymaking as a member of england s board of trade during the 1690s. On the board, locke waged a war against pirates by proposing an anti-piracy treaty between europe s major maritime states, by successfully advocating a new english piracy law, and by supporting the deployment of the english navy against pirates. 9781119718178 1119718171beuy��v�{t�S�_�{US����[��T�V��v�[(u�]wQ �,{�NHr_Strategic Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools For Leaders And Teams, Second Edition Terry SchmidtbThe first edition of strategic project management made simple was published ten years ago and provides a step-by-step process and interactive thinking tool that takes a strategic approach to designing projects and action initiatives.

Hill6Although centrally focused on varieties of friendship and love in troilus and criseyde, the discussion in chaucer s neoplatonism includes the dream visions as well as aspects of the canterbury tales. It lays out chaucer s boethian-inspired, cognitive approach, drawn mainly from book v of the consolatio, to whatever subject he treats. Far from courting skepticism, chaucer gathers many variants of such matters as love, friendship, and community within a meditative mode that assess better and worse instances. He does so to illuminate a fuller sense of the forms that respectively underlie particular manifestations of love, joy, friendship or community. That process is both cognitive and aesthetic in that beauty and truth appear more fully as one assess both better and worse instances of an idea or of an experience. 9781538124994 1538124998 *`_�v~�\��w�vWeird Al: Seriously+By Lily E.

Not only was this movement envisioned as a�form of cultural empire to symbolically compensate for spain s colonial decline but it was also imagined as an opportunity to materially regain the latin american markets. Paradoxically, a central trope of hispanist discourse was the antimaterialistic character of hispanic culture, allegedly the legacy of the moral superiority of spanish colonialism in comparison with the commercial drive of modern colonial projects. This study examines how spanish authors, economists, and entrepreneurs of various ideological backgrounds strove to reconcile the construction of hispanic cultural identity with discourses of political economy and commercial interests surrounding the movement.Methods And Applications 9780730387008 0730387003tradinglQ[r�v�~�~��md�jV� ��SU\�Sc�~�v8�fL�NQAn End To The Bull: Cut Through The Noise To Develop A Sustainable Trading Career Gary Norden 1475850379 9781498540896 1498540899'Y��T�N{|��uir�:N�NHNyr�k�v��Q�s(W�N{|�TvQ�N>yO�Rir-NfBig Brains And The Human Superorganism: Why Special Brains Appear In Hominids And Other Social AnimalsBy Niccolo Leo Caldararo�This book examines why humans have big brains, what big brains enable us to do, and how specialized brains are associated with eusociality in animals.

This book whittles down the theories on brain size evolution to a few that represent testable hypotheses to identify logical and practical explanations for the phenomenon. At the core of this book is data derived from original, previously unpublished research on brain size in a number of social mammals. This data supports the idea that evolution of the brain in humans is the result of social interaction. This book also traces the products of the social brain: ideology, religion, urban life, housing, and learning and adapting to dense complex social interactions.

In its quest for identity ukraine has followed a path similar to other postcolonial societies, the main characteristics of which include a slow transition, hybridity, and identities negotiated on the center-periphery axis.

This burgeoning scholarship has not been adequately theorized, contextualized, or historicized. This book argues that jewish feminist studies is currently constrained by multiple frames of reference that require re-examination, a self-critical awareness, and a serious reflective inquiry into the models, paradigms, and assumptions that inform, shape, and define this area of academic interest. This book is the first critical analysis of jewish feminist scholarship, tracing it from its tentative beginnings in the late 1970s to contemporary academic articulations of its disciplinary projects. It focuses on the assumptions, evasions, omissions, inconsistencies, and gaps in this scholarship, and notably the absence of debate, contestation, and interrogation of authoritative articulations of its presumed goals, investments, and priorities. 9781498562294 1498562299�s�N ^J��TceE\(W��V�v ^J��N:Modern Greece And The Diaspora Greeks In The United StatesBy George Kaloudis%This book examines the history and politics of modern greece from the early nineteenth century to the present and the presence of diaspora greeks in the united states during the same approximate period.

Based on his reading of john 9 (the man born blind), london argues that the gospel does not offer a theodicy, but rather a theodical spirituality, an experience of praying the question of suffering and remaining open to a divine response. London shows how the johannine jesus s response poses three sets of symbols in dichotomy (day/night, vision/blindness, sheep/wolf), each subverted by another, core symbol (light, judge, shepherd). By interpreting these symbols in light of mimetic theory, he argues that jesus s response reveals the scapegoat mechanism in which an innocent victim is blamed by violent victimizers. However, rather than blaming the victimizers, jesus continues to engage with the characters who appear to be villains: the light of the world transforms night and day into one continuous day; the good shepherd welcomes sheep and wolf into h 9781978704855 1978704852�meY�veY�y: N^0�Wcw�Tb�N��])Deep Mysteries: God, Christ And OurselvesBy Aidan Nichols Op�This study explores the way in which, by way of the christian mysteries, divine action impacts human life. The triune god acts in jesus christ by means of historical events whose effects transcend time and which are mediated through their celebration in memorial and worship. Drawing on both evangelical and catholic writers, nichols provides evidence that the general portrait of jesus found in the pauline letters and the four gospels rests on reliable historical witness. On this basis, he offers a concise christology which presents jesus christ as the fulfillment of the messianic hope of the old testament; explores his unique being as laid out in the teaching of the great ecumenical councils of the first christian millennium, and describes how the classic theologian of the latin tradition, st thomas aquinas, sees the chief historical events of christ s life as affecting humanity throughout future time. 9781793616012 1793616019ς^�;NIN�THQ��;NIN���s|�T�`yr�fKN���vT�~�g;NIN�[݋SSufism And Transcendentalism: A Poststructuralist Dialogue Between Rumi And WhitmanBy Elham Shayegh6The rhetoric of cultural identity generally goes in two potential directions: one a universal line that insists on an overall pattern of integration and harmony among all peoples regardless of their differences, and the other a line which suggests that various cultures are so specific and different that they will eventually enter into clash, violence and war. Drawing upon derrida's concept of differance, i will point out that such rhetoric as examples of current political discourses fail to open the concept of cultural identity through redefining its relationship with otherness.

What were the effects of a decade and a half of left and center-left governments? the central purpose of this book is to evaluate both the positive and negative effects of the left turn on state-society relations and inclusion. Promises of social inclusion and the expansion of citizenship rights were paramount to the center-left discourses upon the factions' arrival to power in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This book is a first step in understanding to what extent these initial promises were or were not fulfilled, and why.

Specifically, should audiences read these characters as evidence of a postfeminist apocalypse, they may heed warnings of the limited interpretations offered. 9781433163012 9781635901122 163590112X���~\Y�̑�~�b�N�^�m1Y�v�W^�v4N�e�fReynaldo Rivera(Provisional Notes For A Disappeared CityRivera�Photographs by reynaldo rivera that document a vanished la of cheap rent, house parties, subversive fashion, and underground bands, and long-closed gay and transvestite bars.Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, reynaldo rivera took personal photos of the los 9781538133033 1538133032b�N�v�Nl:�S�s�zv��[��υ�v'Y`\@g4Our People: Discovering Lithuania's Hidden Holocaust#By Rkta Vanagait And Efraim Zuroff$A famous nazi hunter and a descendent of nazi collaborators team up on a journey to uncover lithuania s holocaust secrets.This remarkable book traces the quest for the truth about the holocaust in lithuania by two ostensible enemies: ruta a descendant of the perpetrators, efraim a descendant of the victims. Ruta vanagaite, a successful lithuanian writer, was motivated by her recent discoveries that some of her relatives had played a role in the mass murder of jews and that lithuanian officials had tried to hide the complicity of local collaborators. Efraim zuroff, a noted israeli nazi hunter, had both professional and personal motivations.

Honneth s philosophical project presents at once a solution to a problem that has beset frankfurt school critical theory from the first generation onwards, and offers a re-conceptualisation of social philosophy and its methodology in general. Honneth s work presents a viable alternative to mainstream (especially rawlsian) political philosophy by taking on challenges mainstream theories tend to avoid.This book provides one of the first substantial critical assessments of honneth s achievements so far.

Using an approach that is based on feminist institutionalism and discursive institutionalism, the author focuses institutional reform and change and the ways in which both formal and informal institutions, including rules, practices and norms, as well as key actors' strategies and alliances may contribute to our understanding of women's political representation in sweden and what these gendered outcomes mean in a wider context. 9781786602077 9781978708259 1978708254�yȓ ^��� �_Zfg^yf[-N�v�eaƋ�WcwYe�N*g�w�Wcw�v�vG�cUnconscious Christianity In Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Late Theology: Encounters With The Unknown Christ2By Eleanor Mclaughlin - Foreword By Rowan WilliamsIn the last years of his life, dietrich bonhoeffer began work on an idea that he called unbewu�tes christentum,  unconscious christianity . While bonhoeffer s other ideas from this period have been extensively studied and are important in the field of theology and beyond, this idea has been almost completely ignored. For the first time in bonhoeffer scholarship, eleanor mclaughlin provides a definition of unconscious christianity, based on a close reading and analysis of the texts in which bonhoeffer mentioned the term. From a variety of surviving texts, from a scribbled marginal note in his ethics manuscript to the fiction he wrote in prison, she constructs a detailed definition of this term which sheds light on not only bonhoeffer s late work, but his theological development as a whole. 9781950688043 1950688046Pcaobh�Q�S�vsQĉ�[:2019t^'Pcaob Standards And Related Rules: 2019Aicpa Auditors of public companies' opinions of the accuracy of a financial statement matters for the health of the company are important.

From the first observation of peel s precocious talent as an oxford undergraduate to his burgeoning reputation as a cabinet minister, the volumes draw together sources on peel s forty-year political career. The edition pays particular attention to the most controversial aspects of his political life  the granting of catholic emancipation in 1829, his  founding of the conservative party during the 1830s and the achievements of his landmark government of 1841-6, culminating in the repeal of the corn laws in 1846. 9780268106812 0268106819�bisac category: political science | international relations | diplomacy / history | united states | 20th century / religion | religion/ politics & state��V - �h���QsQ�| �1975t^ - 1980t^�Y�Nxvz!U.S.-vatican Relations, 1975-1980A Diplomatic Study,An Adst - Dacor Diplomats And Diplomacy BookP. Peter SarrosrThis book explores the bilateral relations between the united states and the vatic< an from 1975 to 1980, a turbulent period that had two presidents, three presidential envoys, and three popes. This previously untold story shows how the united states and the vatican worked quietly together behind the scenes to influence the international response to major issues of the day. Peter sarros examines the iran hostage crisis, the tensions of the cold war, the helsinki process, and the beagle channel dispute, among other issues. These interactions produced a tacit alliance in the foreign policies of the united states and the vatican even before the establishment of full diplomatic relations. This unique book is based largely on official documents from the archives of the office of the u.S. Special envoy of the united states to the vatican, supplemented by sarros's contemporaneous diaries, notes, and other unpublished sources.The confidential consultations at the vatican by three special envoys and by sarros in his role as charg and ambassador at the vatican were critical in obtaining vatican support on major international issues.103 9781509534920 150953492XLNXb��Utopia Key Concepts In Political TheoryMark JendrysikcHuman beings universally dream of a better world. For centuries they have expressed their yearning for ways of life that are free from oppression, want and fear, through philosophy, art, film and literature. In this concise and engaging book, mark jendrysik examines the multifarious ways utopians have posed the question of how human beings might establish justice and realize truly human values. Drawing upon a range of sources, from platos republicand thomas mores utopiato ursula le guins the dispossessed, he argues that, though for many utopia means demanding the impossible, the goals that seemed out of reach for one generation are often realized in the next. Nonetheless, he shows that, while utopian thought points toward our most noble aspirations, it also illustrates the dangers of totalitarianism, of the surveillance state and of global climate change. 9781509534937 1442281324 147585479X 9781498543347 1498543340"}<\Z�QhR�e�v׋Lk�|^y�Ǐ�O�S+Sonia Sanchez's Poetic Spirit Through Haiku�Edited By John Zheng - Contributions By Michio Arimitsu; Tiffany Austin; John J.

To examine this, the authors look at the stories of 114 veterans pathways from a militaristic perspective to either a just war or pacifist perspective. Identity theory provides a lens for exploring this process.

Deepening the dialogue, the contributors in this anthology explore critical and complementary interactions between ecofeminism and other areas of inquiry, including ecocriticism, postcolonialism, geography, environmental law, religion, geoengineering, systems thinking, family therapy, and more. This volume aims to further the cultural and literary theories of ecofeminism by situating them in conversation with other interpretations and analyses of intersections between environment, gender, and culture. This anthology is a unique combination of contemporary, interdisciplinary, and global perspectives in dialogue with ecofeminism, supporting academic and activist efforts to resist oppression and domination and cultivate care and justice. 1538123584 1538126389 9789042937987 904293798X his002030?��kY�e:��e0Ws^�~ N�v#W0W.Abydos: The Sacred Land At The Western Horizon.British Museum Publications On Egypt And Sudan I.

Volume 2 presents a focussed view on abydos in the post-pharaonic period. Chosen as the burial ground for the first kings of egypt, abydos became a site of great antiquity, and its ancient sanctity may have conferred legitimacy on the individuals buried there. The site soon became the cult centre for egypt’s most popular god, osiris, who ruled the netherworld and guaranteed every egyptian eternal life after death. As a result of continued ritual performance, endowments and pilgrimage, a vast landscape of chapels and tombs, temples and towns, developed. For millennia, abydos was one of the most consecrated sites of egypt. 9782503584409 2503584403Ifine arts & performing arts / art history (general) / 19/21 c art historyjmno�AS]NN�~z�/gxvz-N�v�AmBMaking Waves: Crosscurrents In The Study Of Nineteenth-century Art3Xix: Studies In 19th-century Art And Visual CultureLaurinda DixonJMaking waves: crosscurrents in the study of nineteenth-century art honours the life work of petra ten-doesschate chu, who continues to lead the field in the study of the art of the nineteenth century.

Following petra chu s example, and avoiding opaque theoretical language and extended technical analysis, authors present original ideas, based primarily on the study of objects and their documented historical contexts. Though their methodologies are diverse, their purposes are clear and their language straight-forward. The essays thoughtfully and respectfully address the solid reality of the nineteenth century in all of its complex (and sometimes repugnant) sensibilities. They disrupt traditional art historical categories and methodologies, and highlight topics that have been long ignored and overlooked. 9780268107451 0268107459ghistory of the americas/christianity/gender studies: women/social & cultural anthropology/south america 0R �^:WsY'`:�S�tY\�v'`+R0�[Ye�T�]\O 0Making Market Women%Gender, Religion, And Work In Ecuador Jill Detemple.Making market women tells of the initial success, and later failure, of a liberationist catholic women s cooperative in central ecuador. Jill detemple argues that when gender and religious identities are capitalized, they are made vulnerable. Using archival and ethnographic methods, she shares the story of the women involved in the cooperative, producing cheese and knitted goods for local markets, and places their stories in the larger context of both the cooperative and the community. Detemple explores the impact of gender roles, the perception of women, the growing middle class, and the changing mode of catholicism in their community. Although the success may have been due to group cohesion to the identity of catholic women, the failure of the cooperative left many women less sure of these identities. 9780268106973 0268106975�bisac category: political science | history & theory | general / political science | political ideologies | conservatism & liberalism / social science | sociology | social theory / political science | political process | political partiesۏek;NIN��oۏ`�`�vGY*`�S�S Progressivism%The Strange History Of A Radical Idea'Bradley C.

Watson has devoted a significant part of his career to studying the nature of american progressivism as it formed in the twentieth century, and this book represents his synthesis of the history of this idea. In progressivism: the strange history of a radical idea, watson presents an intellectual history of american progressivism as a philosophical-political phenomenon, focusing on how and with what consequences the academic discipline of history came to accept and propagate it.This book offers a meticulously detailed historiography and critique of the < insularity and biases of academic culture. It shows how the first scholarly interpreters of progressivism were, in large measure, also its intellectual architects, and later interpreters were in deep sympathy with their premises and conclusions. Too many scholarly treatments of the progressive synthesis were products of it, or at least were insufficiently mindful of two central facts: the hostility of progressive theory to the founders' constitution and the tension between progressive theory and the realm of the private, including even conscience itself. 9781538122679 1538122677 ��sYr5uq_�S�S͋xQ'Historical Dictionary Of Spanish Cinema Alberto Mira�Historical dictionary of spanish cinema covers spanish cinema, its treasures its constant attempts to break through internationally, reaching out towards universal themes and conventions, and the specific obstacles and opportunities that have shaped the careers of filmmakers and stars.

Ethnic grievances derive from lack of access to valued resources, and elites play a crucial role in allocating those resources. This book examines the experiences of five countries with a history of ethnic conflict: former yugoslavia/bosnia-herzegovina, guyana, trinidad and tobago, and the united states. It finds that in many cases, solutions adopted to mitigate ethnic conflict have unintended consequences. Often, supposed solutions confuse cause and effect and in fact worsen ethnic conflict. Attempts to address identity issues by pandering to them often led to further ethnic demands. This book argues that, based on the experiences of the countries under examination, the best course is to adopt policies that encourage alliances between and among ethnic groups. 97      !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abce����fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~�81498547048 1498547044��ƋS��_wt:CQ&Otf[NS��_�wƋ��?Knowing Moral Truth: A Theory Of Metaethics And Moral KnowledgeBy Christopher B. KulpuThis is a book on metaethics and moral epistemology. It asks two fundamental questions: (i) is there any such thing as (non-relative) moral truth?; and (ii) if there is such truth, how do we come into epistemic contact with it? roughly the first half of the book is aimed at answering the first question. Its animating idea is that we should take our ordinary, tutored moral judgments seriously judgments typified by our conviction that it is clearly true that some acts, policies, social norms et al. Are morally right or wrong, permissible or impermissible, praiseworthy or condemnable, etc., no matter when, where, or by whom they are performed. In order to provide a firm conceptual basis for such judgments, the book develops a theory of moral truth, based on a theory of moral facts. The account of moral truth and moral facts is further grounded on a theory of moral properties. 9781498547024 9781498563437 1498563430AS]NN�~��V�ef[-N�vqSi�N�1_'`�)]�nN�p$ORDanger And Vulnerability In Nineteenth-century American Literature: Crash And BurnBy Jennifer TravisCNineteenth-century americans saw danger lurking everywhere: in railway cars and trolleys, fireplaces and floods, and amid social and political movements, from the abolition of slavery to suffrage.

They were awe-struck and progressively alarmed by technological innovations that promised speed and commercial growth, but also posed unprecedented physical hazard. Most of all, americans were uncertain, particularly in light of environmental disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, about their own city on a hill and the once indisputable and protective hand of a beneficent god.

Highly-skilled migrations are arguably the only non-controversial migrant category in political and public discourse. The common perception is that highly-skilled migrants are high-earners with top educational skills and that they are easy to integrate. These perceptions make them a  wanted migrant. There seems to be however a big divide between the popular perceptions of this migration and its realities uncovered in social research. This publication closes this divide by delving deeper in the variety of experiences, discourses and realities of highly skilled migrants, thereby uncovering the inherent divides between the highly skilled migrants from the north and the south. 9781476681399 14766813928O�Q�c�RKNKb � wNLu��VE��_?a�NXT�V�_U_FLending A Hand, Seeing The World: Memoir Of An International VolunteerJudith Love SchwabmJudith love schwab had many duties as a global volunteer, but some of the most memorable were following meerkats in the kalahari desert, collecting data on early gardens and buildings for archaeologists on easter island, helping care for underserved babies in romania, teaching english in poland, sifting for bones and shells in portugal and working with severely disabled adults at an institution in greece.

Organisations are responding to this by implementing governance processes and by taking action to reduce their own emissions and the emissions from their supply chains and value chains. Yet very little is known about how these efforts contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (if indeed, they make any substantive contribution at all) or about how they might be harnessed to deliver more ambitious reductions in emissions. This book explains when and where particular forms of governance intervention  these include internal governance processes and external governance pressures - are likely to be effective on climate change. From this analysis, it offers practical proposals on the climate policy frameworks that need to be in place to facilitate or accelerate changes in corporate behaviour. The book is truly global: it focuses on the world s 25 largest retailers (including walmart, tesco, carrefour, sears and aldi) and is based on detailed interviews with senior managers from these corporations, and with key global and national ngos, corporate responsibility experts, politicians and regulators. 9781786612502 178661250X�eS�R�RNN?e�l�z�/g ��]\ON Ns^I{IThe Politics Of Expertise In Cultural Labour: Arts, Work And InequalitiesBy Karen Patel 2020-05-17�What is expertise? in the arts, or cultural work, the experts in this area are commonly regarded to be art critics, dealers or intermediaries.

This decorative volume focuses on the aspect of stagecraft which characterises all her works. Starting from the early works from the 1990s to her most recent moving exilesseries, the publication lures us into the mysterious world of inter-personal relationships. The artist, who previously worked as a set designer, constructs three-dimensional settings for her pictures in her studio beforehand. Fragments of cars or train compartments become backdrops, and mundane everyday objects become co-actors in her quirky comic strips. The artist confronts us through staged excerpts with the contradictions inherent within ourselves, with facets which we do not reveal to the outside world. The fiction is what permits her to search with a penetrating vision for the true heart of the matter and to reveal it in her pictures. 9780268107147 0268107149�bisac category: art | history | prehistoric & primitive / political science | history & theory | general / social science | archaeology�e�whV�e�N?e�l:�egz�/g-N�v�N{|>yOPaleolithic Politics The Human Community In Early Art(The Beginning And The Beyond Of Politics Barry Cooper494�With paleolithic politics, barry cooper is the first political scientist to propose new interpretations of some of the most famous extant paleolithic art and artifacts, using his background in political theory and philosophical anthropology. This book is inspired by eric voegelin, one of the major political scientists of the last century, who developed an interest in the very early symbolism associated with the caves and rock shelters of the upper paleolithic but never finished his analysis. Cooper, who has written extensively on voegelin s political science, takes up the enterprise of applying voegelin s ideas to an analysis of portable and cave art. He specifically applies voegelin s philosophy of consciousness, his concept of the compactness and differentiation of consciousness, his argument regarding the experience and symbolizations of reality, and his notion of the primary experience of the cosmos. 97802681071306���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[$University Of British Columbia Press�TT{|�W�VfN��,NN�NXT�S�vsQf[!hxvz�T��υ 9780081028452 00810284588h�]N-N�v�N:N�V }�/ec�NXT�~He�N�cؚ�[hQ'`%Human Factors In The Nuclear Industry0Supporting Human Performance For Improved SafetyTeperi, Anna-mariatHuman factors in the nuclear industry: supporting human performance for improved safety presents the latest research and studies of human factors in the nuclear industry.

Brooks�Abraham lincoln's republican party was the first party built on opposition to slavery to win on the national stage but its victory was rooted in the earlier efforts of under-appreciated antislavery third parties. Liberty power tells the story of how abolitionist activists built the most transformative third-party movement in american history and effectively reshaped political structures in the decades leading up to the civil war. As corey m. Brooks explains, abolitionist trailblazers who organized first the liberty party and later the more moderate free soil party confronted formidable opposition from a two-party system expressly constructed to suppress disputes over slavery. Identifying the whigs and democrats as the mainstays of the southern slave power's national supremacy, savvy abolitionists insisted that only a party independent of slaveholder influence could wrest the federal government from its grip. 9780226307282 9781509537204 1509537201�s�s/n��e,g�vۏ;e ���V�v,{N!kNLu'YbHPearl Harbor: Japan�s Attack And America�s Entry Into World War Ii Cloth Takuma Melber 9781475856057 1475856059 �eg?Q�zYe���Tf[uK�Cg��R=Early Childhood Education And The Student Empowerment Program&By Mario C.

Crucial interactions touching upon any aspect of tehran beijing ties, from diplomatic and military links to economic and cultural connections, have especially been in the limelight of such riveting inquisitiveness which has often given rise to a flurry of rash comments, sensational claims, and impetuous conclusions. But a detached probe into critical developments involving iran and china, however, elucidates this rather inconvenient eventuality that the relations between the two important countries are not essentially based on pivotal principles and clear-cut commitments, nor do their ties really rest on tenuous thoughts and flimsy foundations devoid of any common interests in short term or well-conceived objectives in long run. 9781498544573 9781498551717 1498551718'YF��Tf[ O�~-N�v/Uir;NINN>yO�cvzIMaterialism And Social Inquiry In The Continental Tradition In PhilosophyBy Andrew M. Koch$The continental tradition in philosophy has gotten more  materialistic over the last two hundred years. This has resulted from a combination of some very specific moves with regard to the epistemological parameters of understanding and the assertion that ideas may have material force in history. Therefore, the materialism within the continental tradition is not a materiality of being, but a materiality of understanding and action. Such an inquiry opens up space between the activities of sensation and the mental faculty of cognition.  i think, therefore i am, is not an empirical statement, but a statement of cognition. It is assumed that this distinction is at the core of continental philosophy. Cognition is always interpretive. Experience is the start of cognition, but not its final product. 9782503579009 2503579000|medieval & renaissance history (c.400/1500) / medieval european history (400/1500) : main subdisciplines / religious history-NN�~Zfg�T�s�N�e*X�v�~�~�NJS�\�v�O�N�T�wƋAFaith And Knowledge In Late Medieval And Early Modern Scandinavia6Knowledge, Scholarship, And Science In The Middle AgesKaroline Kjesrud; Mikael Males 2019-09-15This book investigates the interface between faith and knowledge in scandinavia in the centuries before and after the reformation, a period in which the line between belief and knowledge was often blurred, and local traditions remained influential. While scandinavia was undoubtedly an integral part of latin christendom before the arrival of lutheranism, the essays gathered together in this volume demonstrate that religious discourse still took a unique form in this region. Faith was influenced by magical practices centred on remnants of nordic paganism, local wisdom literature, and metaphoric language about the divine that diverged considerably from that of the judeo-christian tradition. Texts, motifs, and practices that were common throughout europe were also transformed and altered within this northern setting. Covering the late medieval up to the early modern period, this volume offers new insights into intellectual culture in scandinavia, and the remarkable longevity of local beliefs even into the early post-reformation period. 9781498590709 1498590705lQqQYe��"�?e�v?e�l�~Nmf[���Cg �?e�l6R�^�T!hE�:S�z�NtPolitical Economy Of Public Education Finance: Equity, Political Institutions, And Inter-school District CompetitionBy Nandan K Jha%Political ec< onomy of public education finance takes a unique approach in examining distribution of public education spending across urban school districts in the usa.

The sound management of these oil resources and revenues is undoubtedly one of the key public policy challenges for uganda as it is for other african countries with large oil and/or gas endowments. With oil expected to start flowing in 2021, the current book analyses how this east african country is preparing for the challenge of effectively, efficiently, and transparently managing its oil sector and resources. Adopting a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and comparative approach, the book identifies a broad scope of issues that need to be addressed in order for uganda to realise the full potential of its oil wealth for national economic transformation.

As an alternative geo-formal unit, archipelagoes can interrogate epistemologies, ways of reading and thinking, and methodologies informed implicitly or explicitly by more continental paradigms and perspectives. 9781786614322 1786614324�`a�N NLatinX�v�y�['`�ޏ�cw�?Q�vEe�N �zz���T'`1rMImagining Latinx Intimacies: Connecting Queer Stories, Spaces And SexualitiesBy Edward A.

Instead of keeping quiet, queer latinx artists and writers have spoken up as a way of challenging stereotypes, prejudice, and the lived experiences of estrangement and physical violence. Artistic thinkers such as gloria anzald�a, frances negr�n-muntaner, and rane arroyo have challenged such socio-political problems by imagining intimate social and intellectual spaces that resist the status quo like homophobic norms, laws, and policies that hurt families and communities. 9780268107338 0268107335�bisac category: political science | history & theory | general / political science | commentary & opinion / literary criticism | subjects & themes | politics 0�t\{vVn�vYe��:�hWN��Vl;NqS:g 0Lessons From Walden,Thoreau And The Crisis Of American DemocracyBob Pepperman Taylor�Throughout this original and passionate book, bob pepperman taylor presents a wide-ranging inquiry into the nature and implications of henry david thoreau s thought in walden and civil disobedience.

The urban gardens are contested spaces: though monitored and controlled by cuban state institutions, they also offer possibilities of crafting life in resistance. The experiences the authors narrate are not  thick descriptions, linked to larger political issues, but rather rhizomatic observations that highlight the relationships between humans and non-humans within the nature-culture debate. Using these experiences, the authors argue that  the political reaches beyond the affairs of state and governance and should be seen as an all-encompassing part of life. The authors thereby invite the social sciences to focus on the microscopic and the day-to-day to illuminate how the political affairs of lives can be imagined differently. 9781786610973 1786610973 aT�vz�/g:R$O�v�eS�S��.Arts Of Healing: Cultural Narratives Of Trauma5Critical Perspectives On Theory, Culture And Politics,Edited By Arleen Ionescu And Maria MargaroniLThis book occurs at the intersection of philosophy, critical theory, psychoanalysis and the visual arts.

Exploring where and why artists choose to locate is the first step in describing an art 'scene' ethnographically. This research considers coming to and going through art school as a crucial inter-subjective learning environment. Artists learn not just to engage with place through spatial and relational practices, but gain a sense of mobility and transnational flows in a globalized art world.This book is the first time the art school has been studied this way in the nascent field of art geography, lending from the tool kits of human geography and urban studies. This is timely against the backdrop of worldwide university closes of space and cost intensive fine art courses as a triumph of managerialism and business-case over education. 9783447113632 3447113634�religious studies/ ancient near east/ religionswissenschaften/ biblical historiography/ israel/geschichte/ altorientalistik/ israelite history/ altes testament/redaktionsgeschichte/ literary history/ biblical studies/ bibel/ literaturgeschichte/ historiog�S�N�Nr�R�TяN�eS�vfN�Q�T͑�Q�S�SIWriting And Rewriting History In Ancient Israel And Near Eastern Cultures Isaac KalimiIWriting and rewriting history in ancient israel and near eastern cultures 9783956794759 3956794753 O�[�[Heirloom#Sternberg Press / Research/practiceSansour�The development of the artistic research for palestinian artist larissa sansour's project for the danish pavilion at the 58th venice biennaleheirloom documents the development of the artistic research for palestinian artist larissa sansour's project for 9783956794780 3956794788\�Q�vs�The General's StorkAmin�Documenting the development of a multidimensional and ongoing work.Heba y.

Alley�This book tells the story of trevor who works as one of the production team in a small company that makes toy boats. He is thrust into the role of supervisor unexpectedly when his general manager reacts to his constant suggestions of how things could be better. When the gm gets ill, trevor struggles for several months. Then a new gm arrives, and the core of the book is trevor s growth under the coaching of his new gm, julie. As trevor deals with one challenge after another, julie guides him on a journey to learn the core skills needed by all front-line leaders.The reader takes away four key ideas: 1) front-line leadership skills are not too complicated to learn. 2) these skills are something that they can develop in themselves, regardless of what their organization does. 3) tools and skills are there to help solve real business problems; implementing the tools is not a strategy. 4) in your role as supervisor (directing or responsible for others) you have to look after the mission of the company and look after your people  doing only one is not an option.Essentially, this book is intended to give hope to a new supervisor or team lead. 9780367862190 9780128140154 0128140151��|��\�-N�VƉ҉�v�S�SN�l�_xvzThe Diaoyu Dao Islands7A Historical And Legal Study From A Chinese Perspective Zheng, Hailin3The diaoyu islands: a historical and legal study from a chinese perspective examines the issue of the islands in the context of chinese and western maritime history, including k����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������nowledge and research methods from a wide variety of fields, including linguistics, geography, textual criticism of historical sources, tectonics and the principles of international law that are applied for a holistic and in-depth analysis.

It provides a ring-side view of how various countries in south asia have formulated policies that enabled the emergence of this third sector of broadcasting (public and private being the other two) through radio, rendering the media ecology in the region more pluralistic and diverse. The chapters in the volume, interspersed by practitioner perspectives, discuss a range of key issues related to community radio: radio policies, ngoisation of community radio, spectrum management and democratisation of technology, disasters/emergencies, gender issues, sustainability, and conflicts. 9780367520588 0367520583 9780367535575 0367535572cultural theory �Sc�~�SU\�v�eS?eV{-Cultural Policies For Sustainable DevelopmentAEdited By Anita Kangas, Nancy Duxbury And Christiaan De Beukelaer!The concept of sustainable development is commonly divided into environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. While a variety of international actors have declared the importance of culture in sustainable development, jointly articulating this clearly has been difficult. For example, the sustainable development goals (sdgs) that were adopted by the un general assembly in september 2015 contained only the most fleeting mention of culture. None of the sdgs referred directly to the case for integrating culture into sustainable development planning and decision-making. The role of cultural policy has remained unclear.This book contributes to a better understanding of the role of culture in achieving sustainability, focusing on the particular roles for cultural policy in this context. 9780367535780 0367535785�Q\yr틄v/ec0 O�d0Ye��N�vhY7h'`MSupport, Transmission, Education And Target Varieties In The Celtic Languages,Edited By Noel � Murchadha And Bettina Migge�Like many languages across the globe, the celtic languages today are experiencing varying degrees of minoritisation and revitalisation. The experience of the celtic languages in the;twenty-first century is characterised by language shift to english and french, but they have also been the focus of official and grassroots initiatives aimed at reinvigorating the minoritised languages. This modern reality is evident in the profile of contemporary users of the celtic languages, in the type of variation that they practise, and in their views on celtic language and society in the;twenty-first century. In turn, this reality provides a challenge to preconceived ideas about what the celtic languages are like and how they should be regarded and managed at local and global levels. This book aims;to shed light on some of the main issues facing the celtic languages into the future and to showcase different approaches to studying such contexts. 9781138498396 9780367272340 0367272342jung & analytical psychology�eS�`�~N��VKNB��^y݋0�_upN?e�l*Cultural Complexes And The Soul Of AmericaMyth, Psyche, And PoliticsEdited By Thomas Singer�Cultural complexes and the soul of america explores many of the cultural complexes that comprise the collective psychic-filtering system of emotions, ideas, and beliefs that possess the united states today. With chapters by an international selection of leading authors, the book covers ideas both broad< and specific, and presents unique insight into the current state of the nation.The voices included in this volume amplify contemporary concerns, linking them to themes which have existed in the american psyche for decades while also looking to the future. Part one examines meta themes, including history, purity, dominion, and democracy in the age of trump. Part two looks at key complexes including race, gender, the environment, immigration, national character, and medicine. The overall message is that it is in wrestling with these complexes that the soul of america is forged or undone. 9780367272357 9780367513917 03675139191corporate social responsibility & business ethicspbqNFUNS��_� O�f�~\�R�~�~�eN�~�~?e�lDisturbing Business Ethics1Emmanuel Levinas And The Politics Of Organization$Routledge Studies In Business Ethics Carl Rhodes�21st century western neoliberalism has seen the transformation of self-interest from an economic imperative to a centrally constitutive part of dominant modes of subjective existence. Against this celebration of competitive individualism, emmanuel levinas philosophy stands as a haunting reminder of an ethics that passively disturbs the self from its egoistic slumber, awakening it to the incessant demands of the other. Ethics stands as an anxious affective state of being where one is held to account by others, each one demanding care, attention and respect. Focussing on business activities and organizations, this book explores how this ethical demand of being for the other becomes translated, in a necessarily impure way, into political action, contestation and resistance. Such a response to ethics invokes a disturbance of organizational order, including an order that might itself be labelled  ethical . 9780367535582 0367535580coaching practiceЏ�R���~-N�v�`�~Emotions In Sport Coaching0Edited By Paul Potrac, Andy Smith And Lee Nelson�Emotions are widely acknowledged as an inextricable feature of human behaviour, experience and interaction. They are, arguably, the glue that can bind people together or, alternatively, drive them apart. While social scientists have paid increasing attention to the centrality of emotions in social and pedagogical relationships, the sport coaching literature has remained largely free of emotions. Indeed, there remains a paucity of scholarship exploring how emotions such as excitement, joy, anger, anxiety, guilt, pride and embarrassment may be (re-)produced in, as well as through, the social interactions and contextual relations that constitute coaching. Similarly, we know very little about how these, and other, emotions are embodied in the everyday practice of individuals and groups. The aim of this book was to generate new and exploratory insights into the emotions that are an inherent feature of social relations and individual experience in coaching. 9780815385684 0815385684^�V'Y�S��el�e;NIN�e�N�v��V?e�l�eS Empire State6British Political Culture In The Age Of Neonationalism.Routledge Studies In Fascism And The Far Right Mike Finn Empire state represents a path-breaking investigation of the  neonationalisation of british political culture in the brexit moment. This book examines neonationalism as a discursive shift in contemporary political culture, where fascist modes and vocabularies  including the aestheticisation of politics, the veneration of authoritarianism and the demonization of enemies within and without  moved from the margins to the mainstream of political discourse.With an historical perspective stretching back to the end of the second world war, it highlights continuity and change. The empire remained a discursive presence in popular understandings of britain s place in the world, exemplified through the ubiquity of james bond and the spitfire over the white cliffs of dover (as steve woodbridge has discussed), an empire which ostensibly had defeated fascism. Yet despite the consistent failure of british fascism as a political movement, by the brexit  moment neonationalist vocabularies were central to british political culture. 9780815385622 9780367534158 03675341502socio/legal studies / international law & politics�s�X�SS0:_�Am�y1Y@bN�VE��l��N�l�_�O�bom0R�O�b㉳Q�eHh?Environmental Change, Forced Displacement And International Law2From Legal Protection Gaps To Protection SolutionsLaw And MigrationIsabel M. BorgesnThis book explores the increasing concern over the extent to which those suffering from forced cross-border displacement as a result of environmental change are protected under international human rights law. Formally they are not entitled to admission or stay in a third state country, a situation that has been identified as an international "legal protection gap".The book seeks to provide answers to two basic questions: whether and to what extent existing international law protects cross-border environmental displacement, and whether and how existing formalized regional complementary protection standards can interpretively solidify and conceptualize protection for cross-border environmental displacement. The discussion outlines that the protection of the human person is not only an ex post facto obligation of states, but must be increasingly seen as an ex ante one. 9781138560130389 9780367516109 0367516101�[�^�ylNL�NS����S~nN'YF��q�~ �YP[ �v��eg ��~�S.Family Migration And The Path To An Occupation@The (early) Experiences Of Skilled Taiwanese And Chinese  wives 1Research In Migration And Ethnic Relations Series Chieh Hsu This book sheds light on the invisible early post-arrival period of female family migrants, traditionally considered to be low-skilled or professionally quiescent. With attention to the experiences of chinese and taiwanese women married to german men, it examines the ways in which the pr< ivate sphere - marked by intermarriage couple dynamics and native-foreigner relations - constitutes the main locus of women s socialization in the host country, as interactions with their intimate partners in the family realm shape both their self-conceptions, and their employment intentions. Based on interviews with migrant women and their spouses, the author outlines the subject positions that characterize female migrants attitudes to external constructs and entering the labor market, showing that female family migrants frequently take on family migrant and wife roles that permeate intimate relationships and impede employment intentions, but also often strive to realign with their pre-departure independent selves and thus regain agency. 9780367424312 0367424312 9780367482411 036748241Xarchaeology by period or region�N?��b/O0R*Ys^ m�b�N�N{|/f�YUO�kl�N2m�vFrom Arabia To The PacificHow Our Species Colonised Asia Robin DennellsDrawing upon invasion biology and the latest archaeological, skeletal and environment evidence, from arabia to the pacific documents the migration of humans into asia, and explains why we were so successful as a colonising species.The colonisation of asia by our species was one of the most momentous events in human evolution. Starting around or before 100,000 years ago, humans began to disperse out of africa and into the arabian peninsula, and then across southern asia through india, southeast asia, and south china. They learnt to build boats and sail to the islands of southeast asia, from which they reached australia by 50,000 years ago. Around that time, humans also dispersed from the levant through iran, central asia, southern siberia, mongolia, the tibetan plateau, north china and the japanese islands, and they also colonised siberia as far north as the arctic ocean. 9780367482398 0367482398 9781138632721 1138632724military & naval history�T\V�X���WS�v��Vb�e�XuQ ,{2HrGrunts&The American Combat Soldier In Vietnam!Kyle Longley And Jacqueline Whitt�Now in its second edition, grunts: the american combat soldier in vietnam provides a fresh approach to understanding the american combat soldier s experience in vietnam by focusing on the day-to-day experiences of front-line troops.The book delves into the vietnam combat soldier s experience, from the decision to join the army, life in training and combat, and readjusting to civilian life with memories of war.

As part of the wlm, women collected together in disparate groups and contexts to express their dissatisfaction with their role and position in society, making their concerns apparent through consciousness-raising and activism. This important time in women s history is revisited in this collection, which looks afresh at the diversity of the movement and the ways in which feminism of the time might be reconsidered and historicised. The contributions here cover a range of important issues, including feminist art, local activism, class distinction, racial politics, perceptions of motherhood, girls education, feminist print cultures, the recovery of feminist histories and feminist heritage, and they span personal and political concerns in britain, canada and the united states. 9780815348214 9781138500723 1138500720english language���S�f[uD��nKb�Q ,{2HrHistory Of EnglishA Resource Book For Students(Routledge English Language Introductions Dan Mcintyre�Routledge english language introductions cover core areas of language study and are one-stop resources for students.Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings  all in the same volume.

Security in ir has generally been conceived of on a national, trans-regional or global scale and largely in terms of broad governance coalitions or macroeconomic institutions or  interests . This book rethinks this approach by focussing on the security of cities, highlighting the localised urban responses to new security challenges, which require analysis through different frames of reference from those of the realist security studies orthodoxy. 9780367251901 0367251906 christianityLaudato Si KNTteT^yf[Nޏ�cu`f[AIntegrating Theologies And Connecting Ecologies After Laudato Si -Routledge Studies In Religion And Environment&Edited By James Hanvey And Gavin FloodSThis book offers a detailed analysis of the environmental aspects of laudato si and forms an interdisciplinary argument of how best to devise and implement the new societal models needed to tackle the ecological problems that face the world.

Palmquist�Countless commentators have claimed that, because kant s critical philosophy assumes the absolute validity of aristotelian logic, euclidean geometry, and/or newtonian physics, post-kantian scientific revolutions render kant s philosophy obsolete. This book adopts a "perspectival" interpretation of kant and demonstrates that the common portrayal of kant s philosophy of science as being out of date is radically mistaken, for two main reasons. First, kant critiques the classical scientific traditions by demonstrating that they relate properly only to one of several possible human perspectives. Second, the transcendental philosophy propounded mainly in kant s critique of pure reason aims to ground all possible sciences, not just the ones that were deemed to be true in kant s day. As such, kant contributed significantly to the history of science by providing grounds for the key post-kantian revolutions in empirical science. 9780367338114 0367338114 screenwriting�QeQ5uƉ��N�P[̑0RO\U^ N ,{3Hr Write To Tv$Out Of Your Head And Onto The Screen Martie CookPIn write to tv 3rd edition industry veteran martie cook offers practical advice on writing innovative television scripts that will allow you to finally get that big idea out of your head and onto the screen.

This book introduces the metaphor of  planets of belief as a framework for understanding both the connections of language and identity and the reasons we hold these perceptions so dear. It explains why we make up our minds about who people are and what they are like, even if they have only spoken a few words to us, as well as how language can dictate what we think of others as a whole. In doing so, it:takes a large survey of linguistic research in the field of perceptual dialectology and assesses hundreds of accounts of people and their speech from hundreds of respondents;uses maps at the state, regional, and national level in the us, to expose how our linguistic perceptions of geographical regions cluster into planets of belief;challenges readers to critically assess these assumptions and empowers readers to shift the way they think about language and to understand why they stereotype others based on speech. 9781138491120 0367228858 9780367529246 0367529246 S_�N-N�V�ef[N�ef[ċ��7Literature And Literary Criticism In Contemporary China Zhang Jiong�Each age has its value system of literary criticism whose construction is inseparable from the mainstream ideology of the society.

Serra spent thirty-four years as a missionary to indians in mexico and california. He believed that paternalistic religious rule offered indians a better life than their oppressive exploitation by colonial soldiers and settlers, which he deemed the only realistic alternative available to them at that time and place. 9780299316143 0299316149�history & archaeology|history|military history//politics & government|political control & freedoms|human rights//history & archaeology|history|history: specific events & topics|social & cultural historyb�S �ckINN�1u��v��Ryrzf)R�vI�9h�oۏ;NINN�NCgBread, Justice, And Liberty8Grassroots Activism And Human Rights In Pinochet's Chile Alison Bruey�A compelling history of the antiregime coalition forged by liberation-theology catholics and marxist-left militants in chile's urban shantytowns, with groundbreaking contributions to scholarship on human rights, mass social movements, popular protest, and 9781421434155 1421434156fiction / general�eTX��\Ee�NStaten Island Stories!Johns Hopkins: Poetry And FictionJimenez, ClaireNew york city's staten island is often described as the forgotten borough.

Presenting both a groundbreaking view of the disney channel's programming by the numbers and a deep focus on many of the best-known programs and characters of the 2000s--shows like the wizards of waverly place, that's so raven and hannah montana--this collection asks the simple questions, "what does the disney channel universe look and sound like? who are the stories about? who matters on the disney channel? 9780789213747 0789213745 pS�^NS萄vu;m�T�eS#Life And Culture In Northeast IndiaDipti Bhalla; Shiv Kunal VermabAn abundantly illustrated journey through one of the world's most diverse and fascinating regions. 9781476680897 1476680892�Qyr3t R.�W\WS��[yY�vў�f\�vyb$R'`xvzCaitlin R. Kiernan$A Critical Study Of Her Dark Fiction4Critical Explorations In Science Fiction And Fantasy0James Goho; Donald E. Palumbo; C.W. Sullivan Iii�Caitlin r. Kiernan is at the forefront of contemporary gothic, weird and science fiction literature. She has written more than a dozen novels, over 250 short stories, many chapbooks, along with a large number of graphic works. For these kiernan has won numerous awards. This first full-length look at kiernan's body of work explores her fictional universe through critical literary lenses to show the depth of her contributions to modern genre literature. A prolific and creative writer, kiernan's fictions bring to life our fears about the other, the unknown, and the future through stories that range widely across time and space. A sense of dark terror pervades her novels and stories. Yet kiernan's fictional universe is not disengaged from reality. That is because she works within the long tradition of gothic fiction speaking to the gravest ethical, social and cultural issues. In her dark fiction, kiernan illustrates the terror of the tyranny of the normal, the oppression of marginalized people, and the pervasive violence of our time. Her dystopian sf propels today's dangerous economic, social, political and environmental tendencies into the future. 9781682534991 1682534995L��R-N�v9eۏ��cؚ��Vf[!h�v(�ϑ=Improvement In Action: Advancing Quality In America's SchoolsAnthony S.

Arguing that display needs to be taken seriously, and approached rigorously as a result, analysing museum display is both a guide to and critique of existing approaches and theories and a contribution to theory in its own right, exemplified in case studies that model, apply and parse the benefits of different analytical frameworks.Drawing on current and historical examples of museum display from europe, north america, central asia and the far east, the book provides a rationale for studying display, and maps different theoretical frameworks and methods, charting the major contributions to the field and offering up analyses of their potentials and problems. 9781138545915 9780367408565 0367408562general language reference �N�<\�N�eQ���NAmYe zBeginning ArmenianA Communicative TextbookCharry Karamanoukian&Conversational eastern and western armenian: a workbook introduces both standards of armenian in a single volume reflecting the current armenian world and culture.

Shaffer�In the past two decades, museum professionals have increasingly been encouraged to reflect upon and develop opportunities for serving young visitors, particularly if they help to facilitate early learning. International thinking on children in museums furthers this pursuit by introducing current research, theory, and practice in diverse sociocultural contexts and imparting vital knowledge that should help to improve understanding of the very youngest museum-goers and their slightly older, school-age counterparts.Including contributions from practitioners, scholars and consultants around the globe, this volume examines museum practices and children s learning across a range of distinct cultural and geographic locales. The framework of the book is based on research and current thinking in the realm of developmental psychology and anthropology, allowing the contributors to examine the evolution of early learning and children s programs through a sociocultural lens. 9780367275815 9781138608740 1138608742o�~�S�S��ǏbgRYe�c'Y`\@g�v�[(ucWSEnacting History;A Practical Guide To Teaching The Holocaust Through Theater0Mira Hirsch, Janet E.

This book draws on a unique survey;of randomly selected samples of national and european binational couples to demonstrate that the latter are core cells of a future european society.Unrestricted freedom of movement has enabled a rise in the number of lower-class and middle-class binational couples among europeans. Euro-couples fully integrate in their host cities but secure less support in solving everyday problems than do national ones, partly because of a relatively small network of relatives living close-by. Embeddedness in a dense international network and a cosmopolitan outlook also distinguish them from national couples. The book challenges the view of cosmopolitanism as exclusively middle-class and highlights contrasts between lower-class and middle-class binational couples. 9780367478575 9780367530495 036753049Xsport and genderFIFANLuog�S�NT�SO��0�eS0�ZSON�ltFifa World Cup And Beyond$Sport, Culture, Media And Governance7Sport In The Global Society  Contemporary Perspectives<Edited By Kausik Bandyopadhyay, Souvik Naha And Shakya Mitra_Soccer, the most popular mass spectator sport in the world, has long been a site which articulates the complexities and diversities of the everyday life of the nation.

Authors are drawn from europe, asia, and the americas to produce new insights into the relationship between law and society across time and space. The book is divided into three parts: legal history and le< gal culture across borders, constitutional experiences in global perspective, and the history of judicial experiences. The three themes, and the chapters corresponding to each, provide a balance between public law and private law topics, and reflect a variety of methodologies, both empirical and theoretical.

It offers the first ever survey of anti-monarchism in western literature, history and philosophy, tracked from hesiod and homer through to contemporaries of shakespeare such as george buchanan and the authors of the mirror for magistrates, thus demonstrating that anxiety over monarchic power, and contemptuous demolitions of kingship as a disastrously irrational institution, formed an important and irremovable body of reflection in prestigious western writing. Overturning the widespread assumption that "elizabethans believed in divine right monarchy", it exposits the anti-monarchic critique built into shakespeare s histories and marlowe s massacre at paris, in five chapters of close literary critical readings, paying innovative attention to performance values.Part two focuses queen elizabeth s principal challenger for national rule: the earl of essex, england s most popular man. 9780367510329 0367510324�R�R6�B\�pS�^-N萢����WG��v�]\ONu;mClasses Of Labour,Work And Life In A Central Indian Steel TownJonathan Parry702�Classes of labour: work and life in a central indian steel town is a classic in the social sciences. The rigour and richness of the ethnographic data of this book and its analysis is matched only by its literary style. This magnum opus of 732 pages, an outcome of fieldwork covering twenty-one years, complete with diagrams and photographs, reads like an epic novel, difficult to put down. Professor jonathan parry looks at a context in which the manual workforce is divided into distinct social classes, which have a clear sense of themselves as separate and interests that are sometimes opposed. The relationship between them may even be one of exploitation; and they are associated with different lifestyles and outlooks, kinship and marriage practices, and suicide patterns. A central concern is with the intersection between class, caste, gender and regional ethnicity, with how class trumps caste in most contexts and with how classes have become increasingly structured as the  structuration of castes has declined. 9781793605276 1793605270(Wb�N�v�y�b>y�NNLȗ �~b�V�X�:Sb5u݋=Recovering The Voice In Our Techno-social World: On The PhoneBy Deborah Eicher-catt^Using a communicological perspective, recovering the voice in our techno-social world: on the phone identifies voice (phone in greek) as the essential medium for a re-enchantment of human communication in our highly impersonal techno-social environment. This book is a response to the growing concern by social critics that we are becoming a de-voi< ced society because of our preferences for hyper-textual, image-based forms of electronic connectivity. Ironically, while we are increasingly  on the phone, we are sacrificing our vocality within immediate ear-to-ear relations. Framed by the trope of enchantment, deborah eicher-catt argues that the immediacy of the sounding voice calls us and enchants us to make possible productive moments of resonance in which we might cultivate an interpersonal resilience in today s fast-paced, media-saturated environment. 9781476682600 1476682607�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//history & archaeology|history|military history//social studies|warfare & defence|naval forces & warfare//technology & engineering|transport technology & trades|shipbuildingwm�Q gy_�v��V8nG���N�kl�e�N0R,{�N!kNLu'Yb�v�S�S American Yachts In Naval Service/A History From The Colonial Era To World War IiKenneth Howard Goldman�Before there was a u.S.

These disruptions could take diverse forms and affect various aspects of work and the lives of entities in the workplaces and families of the individual employees. Work and family are caught in the crossfire between technological disruptions and human adaptation. Hence, there is a need to assess the overall effect that the fourth industrial revolution would have on work, employee work-family satisfaction, and employee well-being.Future of work, work-family satisfaction, and employee well-being in the fourth industrial revolution is a critical reference source that discusses practical solutions and strategies to manage challenges and address fears regarding the effect of the fourth industrial revolution on the future of employment and the workforce. 9781799833482 1487504314 0367178036 9780367252106 0367252104macroeconomicsL�:Nё��N��L�N�S�S�19N�~�v'k2m��L��[N ^J�'Behavioural Finance And Banking History/European Bankers And Greece In The 19th CenturyFinancial HistoryKorinna Sch�nh�rl�Banking historiography often does not sufficiently take into account bankers deliberations of their decision making but rather limits investigation to considerations of profit maximisation. This book shows that the decision-making processes of 19th century bankers contemplating high-risk financial markets like greece are just as complex as present-day investment decisions. The book, now published in english after a first german edition, offers in-depth studies of decision making in concrete historical situations, considering political and economic circumstances and also the individual background of the actors concerned, including a reflection on the influence of cultural movements such as philhellenism. Employing methodological inspirations from the field of behavioural finance, the book analyses a broad range of published and unpublished english, french, greek, german and swiss sources on european investment in greece between 1821 and the balkan wars. 022669741X 9780812250787 0812250788�[Y�l<\�N�]pS,{�[�N�v��Sf[3The Archaeology Of Native Americans In Pennsylvania5Kurt W Carr; Christopher A Bergman; Christina B RiethdPennsylvania is geographically, ecologically, and culturally diverse.

Can these transnational dimensions of mobilization transform the territorial scale of political debate on issues of common concern in public spheres? in contrast to many existing studies, which focus on the media as carriers of public sphere transnationalisation, this book presents a theoretical and empirical exploration of the role of social movements in such processes. As  arenas or subaltern counterpublics in themselves, social movements may provide a setting in which activists come to frame claims in a comparative manner, interact with activists from other countries, frame problems as matters of transnational concerns or consider themselves members of transnational communities. 9780367530587 0367530589 ?e�lt��-N�v�s�[;NINRealism In Political Theory%Edited By Rahul Sagar And Andrew Sabl�Over the past decade, an intellectual movement known as "realism" has challenged the reigning orthodoxy in political theory and political philosophy. Realists take issue with what they see as the excessive moralism and utopianism associated with prominent philosophers like john rawls, ronald dworkin, and g.A. Cohen; but what they would put in its place has not always been clear. The contributors to this volume seek to bring realism into a new phase, constructive rather than merely combative. To this end they examine three distinct kinds of realism. The first seeks to place questions of feasibility at the center of political theory and philosophy; the second seeks to reorient our interpretations of key works in the canon; the third seeks new interpretations or specifications of prominent ideologies such as liberalism, radicalism, and republicanism such that they no longer rely on abstract or systematic philosophic systems. 0367478579 9780367225155 0367225158european history�O�[>mN�oۏ>m�$N!kNLu'YbKN���v'k2m 1918-1941Conservatives And Radicals-Europe Between The Two World Wars (1918-1941)Edited By Marco Bresciani�This book features a broad range of thematic and national case studies which explore the interrelations and confrontations between conservatives and the radical right in the european and global contexts of the interwar years.

Conservative forces ended up prevailing over far-right forces in the 1920s, with the notable exception of the fascist regime in italy. But over the course of the 1930s, and the ascent of the nazi regime in germany, the competition and opposition between conservative forces exacerbated with increased power for radical right and fascist movements. 9780367225162 9780367495787 0367495783religious history�WcwYeNR�lChristianity And Criminal LawLaw And Religion@Edited By Mark Hill, Norman Doe, Richard Helmholz And John Witte�This collection, by leading legal scholars, judges and practitioners, together with theologians and church historians, presents historical, theological, philosophical, and legal perspectives on christianity and criminal law. Following an introduction by lord judge, formerly lord chief justice of england and wales, the book is divided into four thematic sections. Part i addresses the historical contributions of christianity to criminal law drawing on biblical sources, early church fathers and canonists, as far as the enlightenment. Part ii, titled christianity and the principles of criminal law, compares crime and sin, examines concepts of mens rea and intention, and considers the virtue of due process within criminal justice. Part iii looks at christianity and criminal offences, considering the christian origins and continuing relevance for several basic crimes that every legal system prohibits. 9780367858254 9780367536794 036753679XZS_��N>yOGame Theory And Society Weiying Zhang406TThe progress of society can only happen through interpersonal cooperation, because only cooperation can bring about mutual benefit, thus bringing happiness to each person. This should be our collective rationality, but we often see it conflicts with individual interests, which leads to the so-called "prisoners dilemma" and does not bring happiness to all. From a game theoretical perspective, this book addresses the issue of how people can cooperate better. It has two o< bjectives.

The author deconstructs the reductionism of the literature on social movements and communication, proposing a new conceptual vocabulary based on practices, ecologies, imaginaries and algorithms to account for the communicative complexity of protest movements. Drawing on extensive fieldwork on social movements, collectives and political parties in spain, italy and mexico, this book disentangles the hybrid nature of contemporary activism. It shows how activists operate merging the physical and the digital, the human and the non-human, the old and the new, the internal and the external, the corporate and the alternative. The author illustrates the ambivalent character of contemporary digital activism, demonstrating that media imaginaries can be either used to conceal authoritarianism, or to reimagine democracy. The book looks at both side of algorithmic power, shedding light on strategies of repression and propaganda, and scrutinizing manifestations of algorithms as appropriation and resistance. 1138612677 9781138544703 1138544701-N'ksQ�|�i���8h�_�i�_N;N��&Introduction To Europe-china RelationsCore Concepts And ThemesNicola Casarini�This book represents a comprehensive introduction to the field of china-europe relations (or europe-china/eu-china relations).

Muslim fundamentalisms have the sympathy of approximately half of the muslim population in the world. Yet, they are divided among themselves and are in a constant state of controversy. The research dwells on the leading fundamentalist movements, such as the muslim brothers, tablighi jama�at, al-qaeda, and isis, and illustrates how differently they think about the west and its culture, democracy, and women s presence in the public sphere. By identifying these trends, and studying them comparatively, the book enables the interested reader to make sense of the plethora of fundamentalist movements, which are otherwise lumped together by the media and are barely discernible for the reader. 9780367856458 036785645X 022670291X 9780367531836 0367531836$'k2mT\O-N�vY͑T��|��VE��~�~0?eV{t�_0�R�[Nl��� 1967-1992,Multiple Connec< tions In European CooperationMInternational Organizations, Policy Ideas, Practices And Transfers, 1967-1992.Edited By Kiran Klaus Patel And Wolfram KaiserXInternational organizations are ubiquitous in contemporary europe and the wider world.

In this book, the authors explain how to implement a curricular approach for educating students beyond the classroom. The book is based on more than a decade of implementing curricular approaches on multiple campuses, contributing to the scholarship on the curricular approach, and helping many campuses design, implement, and assess their student learning efforts. The curricular approach is rooted in scholarship and the connections between what we know about learning, assessment, pedagogy, and student success.

It reflects on their diverse voices and concerns in an unprecedented way by bringing together leading indigenous and non-indigenous scholars across a variety of regions and disciplines.This book moves beyond stereotypical portrayals of indigenous peoples as vulnerable and disempowered. It instead demonstrates how individuals and communities hold their own agency, capabilities and strategies. The book provides a platform for showcasing indigenous knowledge and solutions to pressing planetary problems that are often amplified in the arctic. These problems range from a warming climate; social, cultural and environmental impacts of natural resource development; the loss of biodiversity, animal and plant species; rapid social changes and the extinction of religions, languages, and knowledge. 9780367529956 0367529955social work practice�[�e�Q\N��2�R��|�n(u�v%N�\cb�SvQT�g_Implementing The Grand Challenge Of Reducing And Preventing Alcohol Misuse And Its ConsequencesFEdited By Audrey Begun, Diana Dinitto And Shulamith Lala A. StraussnerQ reducing and preventing alcohol misuse and its consequences is one of the american academy of social work and social welfare s grand challenges for social work, a programme launched in 2012. This book reports on the work of many social work and allied professions scholars, describing current strategies for achieving the ambitious goals identified in this grand challenge. The chapters in this book fall into two broad categories:  general pieces, and those which address specific workforce development issues for meeting the grand challenge. The contributors cover the problem of alcohol misuse from a number of perspectives, including racial/ethnic disparities in alcohol treatment services; adolescents and emerging adults; and trauma/ptsd. The book also explores both technology-based interventions for reducing alcohol misuse and its consequences, and various models for preparing the workforce by effectively engaging in screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (sbirt), for those experiencing alcohol-related problems complicated by other social and behavioural health problems. 9781138572881 9780367440879 0367440873history of art�X�va��_�-NN�~z�/g�v�X�0�^Q{N�`a��RIcons Of Sound4Voice, Architecture, And Imagination In Medieval ArtMusic And Visual CultureEdited By Bissera V Pentcheva�Icons of sound: voice, architecture and imagination in medieval art brings together art history and sound studies to offer new perspectives on medieval churches and cathedrals as spaces where the perception of the visual is inherently shaped by sound.

This study proposes to bring neera out of the shadows of literary marginality to which she has long been confined by analyzing her contribution to literary and cultural debates as testimony to the pivotal role she played in the creation of a female literary voice within the italian fin-de-si�cle context. Drawing from the anglo-american feminist critical tradition, modern italian feminist theory on the maternal order and sexual difference and a close reading of neera s literary, theoretical and epistolary writings this volume examine neera s work from a three-pronged perspective: as promoter of a maternal order in contrast to the existent paternal order, as one of few women writers to participate actively in italy s verismo movement and as epistolary correspondent of leading representatives within fin-de-si�cle italian literary and journalistic circles. 9780367432119 0367432110teaching & learningZ��b�s�[N�X:_�s�[�e‰�p�(Wl��S�vf[`N�s�X-N�[~b�e�vYef[�e_1New Perspectives On Virtual And Augmented Reality?Finding New Ways To Teach In A Transformed Learning Environment,Perspectives On Education In The Digital AgeEdited By Linda Daniela�New perspectives on virtual and augmented reality discusses the possibilities of using virtual and augmented reality in the role of innovative pedagogy, where there is an urgent need to find ways to teach and support learning in a transformed learning environment.

This book explores prisoners experiences of prison education and investigates whether participation in prison education contributes to an offender s ability to desist from crime and increases social capital levels. The book demonstrates how prisoners experience many benefits from participating in prison education, including increased confidence, self-control and agency, along with various other cognitive changes. In addition, the book examines prisoners accounts that provide evidence of strong connections between prison education and the formation of pro-social bonds which have been shown to play a role in the desistance process. 9780367464790 0367464799 art & gender^�2mAm>eh��s�R-N�v�N_׋f[�ASH�6Ritual Poetics In African Diasporic Expressivity: Ash�HEdited By Paul Cater Harrison, Harris D Michael And Pellom Mcdaniels Iii1 ash�: ritual poetics in african diasporic expressivity' is a collection of interdisciplinary essays contributed by international scholars and practitioners.

Watson considers the life and work of artist and mayanist scholar linda schele (1942 1998) as a point of departure for what he calls an excitable anthropology. As part of a small collective of scholars who devised the first compelling arguments that maya hieroglyphs were a fully grammatical writing system, schele popularized the decipherment of hieroglyphs by developing narratives of maya politics and religion in popular books and public workshops. In this experimental, person-centered ethnography, watson shows how schele s sense of joyous discovery and affective engagement with research led her to traverse and disrupt borders between religion, science, art, life, death, and history. While acknowledging critiques of schele s work and the idea of discovery more generally, watson contends that affect and wonder should lie at the heart of any reflexive anthropology. 9780812252354 0812252357�lpQKQΘ\�-NN�~�eg'k2m�v�rs ��sCg�T7uP[l�iXIn The Manner Of The Franks: Hunting, Kingship, And Masculinity In Early Medieval Europe Middle AgesEric J Goldberg 9781478009375 1478009373>yO;NIN�~Nmf[�wƋ �1945-1989*Economic Knowledge In Socialism, 1945-1989Till Duppe; Ivan Boldyrev�This cross-disciplinary special issue focuses on economic knowledge in social countries during the second half of the twenti< eth century.

While the sociological field focuses primarily on emotions that are entangled in the relationship between the individual and collective, the cultural studies field has recently started to emphasise affects as a  rescue from the deterministic aspect of the poststructuralist approach (in which language decides everything) (hemmings 2005, 2014). Scholars promoting the  affective turn argue that affects and interpretations are inseparable. By taking affects as the point of departure, it is argued that it is possible to show how bodies move in their own ways, but still in relation to others. Departing from this, it becomes interesting to explore how emotions are involved in different power relations and how they feed resistance. 9781138482531 9780367534356 0367534355S_�N-N�VY�NContemporary China's DiplomacyXing Qu And Longbiao ZhongzWith the second-largest economy and rapidly growing military strength, china is now an emerging regional and global super power, which makes it confronted with a sudden increase in opportunities, pressures and conflicts in terms of international issues. This book gives a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the development of china s diplomatic strategies since 1980s, which have been changed approximately every ten years to cope with the complicated and changing international situations. In 1980s, china took "non-alignment" to create a solid external environment for the reform and opening-up which had just been initiated. With the collapse of the soviet union, upheaval in eastern europe and the end of th< e cold war in 1990s, china adopted the principle of "keeping a low profile and making some contributions", to adhere to the road of socialism while avoid making enemies. 0367471493 Sean T.

Often associated with other notions such as the tribunal’s mission, powers, authority or even jurisdiction, the meaning of arbitral tribunal’s mandate remains a moving target and escapes easy classification.Yet, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, a non-compliance with the arbitral tribunal’s mandate provides a basis for a challenge of the arbitral award at the post-award stage (either during setting aside proceedings or at the enforcement stage). Since the concept of the tribunal’s mandate is vague, it attracts, in turn, a broad interpretation of the ground leading to a frustration of the fundamental value of arbitration – the finality of the arbitral award. It is therefore essential to determine how the national courts review arbitral awards on the basis of ‘excess of mandate’ and consequently in what instances they accept the argument that the tribunal acted in violation of its mandate. 9781631598463 1631598465�YUO;u�QNN@b g�vwS2:N*N�c�V�v�S�YD��eAn Illustrated SourcebookAlmost Everything Six PommesQuarto Usa-quarry Books�How to draw almost everything volume 2-a follow-up to the popular book how to draw almost everything, part of the almost everything series from quarry books-shows how easy it is to draw even more cute illustrations.

Shakespeare on consent examines crises of consent on the early modern stage and argues that these dramatizations provide a framework for understanding the complex boundary between coercion and consent. Amanda bailey focuses on three key shakespearean works: romeo & ; juliet, a midsummer night s dream, and the rape of lucrece to chart the tension between individual struggle and collective protest; the gendered nature of erotic coercion; so-called gray zone encounters; cultures of silence and complicity; and, more generally, the insecure status of the agentic self.By considering multiple, overlapping, and competing ideas about consent in the early modern period, this short book sheds new light on consent as performative and thus as likely to buttress as to thwart the cohesion of social aims, political agendas, and individual desires. 9780367184537 1138544728 9780367224400 0367224402��0`�`N�Rϑ�:N�NHNb�N�����s^I{Language, Mind, And PowerWhy We Need Linguistic Equality"Daniel R.

She examines the women's liberation movement in france in the 1960s and 1970s, showing that by choosing to ignore the history of the racialization of women's wombs, french feminists inevitably ended up defending the rights of white women at the expense of women of color. 9781620976067 1620976064;`�~ T�_KN{kThe Death Of Comrade PresidentAlain Mabanckou 9781620976272 1620976277�bisac category: political science | labor & industrial relations / law | labor & employment / history | united states | general / business & economics | labor��V�S�SAS�Q��#A History Of America In Ten Strikes Erik Loomis 9781644690727 1644690721�religious studies|religion: general|philosophy of religion//religious studies|judaism|judaism: theology//religious studies|judaism//religious studies|judaism|judaism: life & practice//religious studies|religion: general//religious studies|christianity|bib(W�[YeNt'`KN��Between Religion And ReasonStudies In Orthodox JudaismEphraim Chamiel; Avi Kallenbach�The present book explores contemporary jewish thinkers who have adopted the dialectical approach, an integrated approach towards the tension reason and religion.

Taber And Charlton W. Yingling�The tumult of the age of atlantic revolutions provided new opportunities for free communities of color in the caribbean, yet the fact that much scholarship places an emphasis on a few remarkable individuals who pursued their freedom and respectability in a high-profile manner can mask as much as it reveals. Scholarship on these individuals focuses on themes of mobility and resilience, and can overlook more subversive motives, underrepresent individuals who remained in communities, and elide efforts by some to benefit from racial hierarchies. In these free communities, displays of social, cultural, and symbolic capitals often reinforced systemic continuity and complicated revolutionary-era tensions among the long-free, enslaved, and recently-freed. This book contains seven fascinating studies, which examine haiti, caracas, cartagena, charleston, jamaica, france, the netherlands antilles, and the swedish caribbean. They explore how free communities of color deployed religion, literature, politics, fashion, the press, history, and the law in the atlantic to defend their status, and at times define themselves against more marginalized groups in a rapidly changing world. 9780815347613 9780367516611 0367516616 ��K\Y���ŏN-N�V�s�N�e[WBeyond The Iron House,Lu Xun And The Modern Chinese Literary Field Saiyin SunABeyond the iron house is a critical study of a crucial period of life and work of the modern chinese writer lu xun. Through thorough research into historical materials and archives, the author demonstrates that lu xun was recognized in the literary field much later than has hitherto been argued. Neither the appearance of "kuangren riji" (diary of a madman) in 1918 nor the publication of nahan (outcry) in 1923 had catapulted the author into nationwide prominence; in comparison with his contemporaries, neither was his literary work as original and unique as many have claimed, nor were his thoughts and ideas as popular and influential as many have believed; like many other agents in the literary field, lu xun was actively involved in power struggles over what was at stake in the field; lu xun was later built into an iconic figure and the blind worship of him hindered a better and more authentic understanding of many other modern writers and intellectuals such as gao changhong and zhou zuoren, whose complex relationships with lu xun are fully explored and analysed in the book. 9781138670822 9781138335141 1138335142classical language & literature ^J�Wl��Q�NKb�Q�SO��N�S�S Greek And Roman Military ManualsGenre And History)Routledge Monographs In Classical Studies*Edited By James T. Chlup And Conor Whately�This volume explores the enigmatic primary source known as the ancient military manual. In particular, the volume explores the extent to which these diverse texts constitute a genre (sometimes unsatisfactorily classified as  technical literature ), and the degree t< o which they reflect the practice of warfare.With contributions from a diverse group of scholars, the chapters examine military manuals from early archaic greece to the byzantine period, covering a wide range of topics including readership, siege warfare, mercenaries, defeat, textual history, and religion. Coverage includes most of the major contemporary siege manual writers, including xenophon, frontinus, vegetius, and maurice. Close examination of these texts serves to reveals the complex ways in which ancient greeks, romans, and byzantines sought to understand better, and impose order upon, the seemingly irrational phenomenon known as war. 9780367541767 9781138393813 1138393819business & planning pS�^5uq_RN� N�N�N/fLk�Indian Movie EntrepreneurshipNot Just Song And Dance<Mastering Management In The Creative And Cultural Industries#Rajeev Kamineni And Ruth Rentschler�One of the world s most prolific creative industries, the indian movie industry, has received scant attention for its spirit of enterprise.

It fills a gap in the literature by addressing these issues using a transdisciplinary approach involving historical-critical study of the new testament, theology, analytic philosophy, psychology and comparative religion.Using a novel analytic framework, this book demonstrates that a logically exhaustive list of hypotheses concerning the claims of jesus post-mortem appearances and the outcome of jesus body can be formulated. It addresses these hypotheses in detail, including sophisticated combinations of hallucination hypothesis with cognitive dissonance; memory distortion; and confirmation bias. Addressing writings from both within and outside of christianity, it also demonstrates how a comparative religion approach might further illuminate the origins of christianity. 9780367493448 0367493446�V�X-N�v�l�_N�`a��R��l�_N�ef[݋�%Law And Imagination In Troubled TimesA Legal And Literary DiscourseLaw, Language And CommunicationWEdited By Richard Mullender, Matteo Nicolini, Thomas D.C.

Kress�Devoted to and inspired by the late maxine greene, a champion of education and advocator of the arts, this book recognizes the importance of greene s scholarship by revisiting her oeuvre in the context of the intellectual historicity that shaped its formation. As a scholar, greene dialogued with philosophers, social theorists, writers, musicians, and artists. These conversations reveal the ways in which the arts, just like philosophy and science, allow for the facilitation of "wide-awakeness," a term that is central to greene s pedagogy. Amidst contemporary trends of neoliberal, one-size-fits-all curriculum reforms in which the arts are typically squeezed out or pushed aside, greene s work reminds us that the social imagination is stunted without the arts. Artistic ways of knowing allow for people to see beyond their own worlds and beyond "what is" into other worlds of "what was" and "what might" be some day. 9781138499379 9780367275617 0367275619economic theory & philosophyb�N5uq_N�~Nmf[�}Y��^W9e�Q�N�Q�z�v�~��Ye��War Movies And Economics9Lessons From Hollywood s Adaptations Of Military Conflict.Routledge Economics And Popular Culture Series6Edited By Laura J.

Aspects of these stories show how key economic principles of scarcity, limited resources and incentives play important roles in military conflict. The movies also provide an avenue for discussion of the economics of public goods provision, the modern economic theory of bureaucracy, and various game-theoretic concepts such as strategic moves and commitment devices. 9780367275600 9780367249076 0367249073f��`'`+R�f�R�>yO6�B\0'`+R�Nf�TNLu��V�Q�[�YsY�v�fl;e�QVigilante Gender ViolenceDSocial Class, The Gender Bargain, And Mob Attacks On Women WorldwideRebecca �lvarez�In recent years, mob attacks on women by men have drawn public attention to an emerging social phenomenon. This book draws upon concepts from critical race theory and sociocultural evolutionary theory to examine this specific form of gender violence, which takes place outside the law and is a vigilante form of enforcing traditional gender norms. The author positions vigilante gender violence as a global issue produced during specific periods of sociocultural change in conditions marked by intensified social stratification. The catalyst for vigilante gender violence is the formal state s breaching of the "gender bargain," the tacit psychological wage even non-elite men earn by at least not being female. When the state threatens to end the gender bargain by promoting women s rights, the die is cast for low-status men to enforce this bargain themselves in mob attacks against women who are perceived to be violating the patriarchal order. 9780367249083 9780367405083 0367405083f��[ NS_L�:N�bɋ��gKb�Q ,{2Hr1Police Misconduct Complaint Investigations Manual9Routledge Series On Practical And Evidence-based Policing Barbara Attard And Kathryn Olson�The police misconduct complaint investigations manual provides a timely and unique, step-by-step approach to conducting or reviewing police misconduct investigations, whether a complaint involves a lower level allegation of discourtesy or more serious concerns such as excessive force or criminal behavior.

Hal k suggests that because god is not an object, love for him must be expressed through love of human beings. He calls for christians to avoid isolating themselves from secular modernity and recommends instead that they embrace an active and loving engagement with nonbelievers through acts of servitude. At the same time, hal k critiques the drive for mere material success and suggests that love must become more than a private virtue in contemporary society. I want you to be considers the future of western society, with its strong division between christian and secular traditions, and recommends that christians think of themselves as partners with nonbelievers. 1526147521 9780367192020 0367192020community theatrehQtbgR^:W-N�v�e�pQeYyrW?�6Aotearoa New Zealand In The Global Theatre Marketplace3Routledge Advances In Theatre & Performance Studies James WenleysAotearoa new zealand in the global theatre marketplace is a case study of how work from one nation has attempted to tour, represent and market itself in the global theatre industry.

Using an extended single chronological historical narrative and analysis, which draws heavily on original archival sources and contemporary literature, it addresses the changes which took place as part of the welfare state and the identification of common roles and responsibilities by social workers, which led to the formation of the british association of social workers in 1970. 9780367264703 0367541769 9780367531102 0367531100 -N�V�v�eir�e8nN�W^$Heritage Tourism And Cities In China-Edited By Honggang Xu And Trevor H.B.

Its burgeoning cities reflect this extraordinary growth with a dazzling array of new architectural forms and designs. In its transformation, the 5000-year old heritage of its built civilization, embedded in its villages, towns and cities, has often been replaced. The chinese government, aware of the value of this heritage, has in recent years taken concrete steps to conserve and preserve not just national icons such as the forbidden palace in beijing, the great wall of china and the grey goose pagoda in xian but also the more general historic fabric of its urban development over the centuries. The challenges are great, particularly as population growth and rural-urban drift have combined to place enormous pressure on city resources. 9780367354541 0367354543 citizenshipK-12>yOxvz��X-N�W�N�cvz_�vhQtf[`NAInquiry-bsed Global Learning In The K 12 Social Studies Classroom&Edited By Brad M.

It looks not only at the perspectives of the ruling elite, but also of civil society and opposition groups. Furthermore, it also analyzes the interactions among iran s policies and those of regional and global powers. Since the 1979 revolution, iran s foreign policy has appeared both threatening and puzzling. Some have described it as ideological, whereby the regime has been attempting to export its islamist rule to neighbouring countries and challenging the international order. Others consider iran s fore< ign policy to be primarily pragmatic, concerned with survival of the regime and expanding its power not unlike other powers in the system. This book attempts to go deeper than most conventional analyses. It demystifies iran s foreign policy by describing, in great detail, foreign policy decision making in iran. Iran is not a one-man dictatorship. Rather, it is rule by an oligarchy of shia fundamentalists. 9780367495459 9780367470357 0367470357 O�epQYe0�r*Y�NN#W�kq\�b�N/�N�NX[(W�v�\�w Islam, Jews And The Temple MountThe Rock Of Our/their Existence,Routledge Studies In Middle Eastern PoliticsYitzhak Reiter And Dvir Dimant\This study presents the first comprehensive survey of the abundant early islamic sources that recognize the historical jewish bond to the temple mount (masjid al-aqsa) and jerusalem. Analyzing these sources in light of the views of contemporary muslim religious scholars, thinkers and writers, who  in the context of the arab-israeli conflict  deny any jewish ties to the temple mount and promote the argument that no jewish temple ever stood on the temple mount. The book describes how this process of denying jewish ties to the site has become the cultural rationale for unesco decisions in recent years regarding holy sites in jerusalem, bethlehem and hebron, which use muslim arabic terminology and overlook the jewish (and christian) history and sanctification of these sites. Denying the jewish ties to the temple mount for political purposes inadvertently undermines the legitimacy of islam s sanctification of al-aqsa and the dome of the rock as well as the credibility of the most important sources in arabic, which constitute the classics of islam and provide the foundation for its culture and identity. 9780367500047 9780367862374 0367862379 leadership yrgnf;`�~�v���[�RYe��,Leadership Lessons From The Trump PresidencyDouglas G.

However, thirty years after the emergence of this promising agenda in international relations (ir), this discipline has not experienced a major shift. This volume offers a counter-intuitive and original contribution to the understanding of the global circulation of knowledge. In contrast;to the literature, it argues that the internationalisation of social sciences in the designated 'global south' is not conditioned by the existence of a presumably 'western dominance'. Indeed, although discriminative practices such as eurocentrism and gate-keeping exist, their existence does not lead to a unipolar structuration of ir internationalisation around  the west . Based on these empirical results, this book reflexively questions the role of critique in the (re)production of the social and political order. Paradoxically, the anti-eurocentric critical discourses reproduce the very eurocentrism they criticise. 9781138047983 0815368216 1138608734 9780367895419 0367895412race & ethnic studies}v�NNl�e;NINWhiteness And NationalismEdited By Nasar Meer�Whiteness is becoming an increasingly important issue across a variety of social and political contexts. In this book, an international set of authors discuss how and why this has come to be the case.The study of  whiteness , as either a social identity or political ideology, is a relatively recent area of scholarship. Unusually, within the fields of race and ethnicity, it is a concept that sits at an intersection between historical privilege and identity. At the same time,  white privilege is not universally shared in (or can be distant to) how many white people feel they experience their identities. Whiteness as a site of privilege is therefore not absolute, but rather cross-cut by a range of other concerns too. Recent political developments nonetheless however serve to illustrate the political potency of appeals to whiteness, in a way that suggests whiteness coupled with nationhood is a central social and political topic. 9780367472238 0367472236�W^�[YeY7h'`�v�lt�yb$RƉ҉'Governing Religious Diversity In CitiesCritical PerspectivesEdited By Julia Mart�nez-ari�o�Governing religious diversity in cities provides original insights into the governance of religious diversity in urban contexts from a var< iety of theoretical perspectives, and drawing on a wide range of empirical examples in europe and canada.Religious diversity is increasingly present and visible in cities across the world.

While in the european union s (eu) mediterranean countries inequality is mostly linked to the social sphere and, in particular refers to labour market dynamics, in the middle east and northern africa (mena);area, the situation is more complicated as the social and private spheres are blended and cultural and religious factors have a great impact on women autonomy and opportunities beyond the family perimeter. The different challenges women are facing on the two sides of the mediterranean have sometimes originated incomprehension and misperceptions. Western-supported policies devoted to fill the gap between men and women in the mena area have overlooked countries peculiarities simply exporting models tailored for eu s member states.

DhimanWThere is a growing unease that current management thinking and models of leadership are not contributing to organizational progress and societal wellbeing. Skillful, wise leadership is generally lacking in the world today. This thought-provoking, stimulating book offers an alternative to top-down autocratic, heroic leadership. It provides a road map for developing effective leadership values such as integrity, humility, selfless service, compassion, and personal mastery and demonstrates how leaders can be fulfilled in both their personal life;and their leadership role. The book approaches leadership as a matter of holistic awareness of issues and solutions rather than as dependent on the formal position, power or title of the formal leader. It describes strategies for serving organizations, its stakeholders and associated relevant communities. 9780367234515 9780367369286 0367369281-N�V�N�[sQ�|�v�mB\�_tf[xvz�'`+RN�^ckxvz@Intimate Relationships In China In The Light Of Depth PsychologyA Study Of Gender And Integrity Huan Wang,In intimate relationships in china in the light of depth psychology: a study of gender and integrity, huan wang presents an overview of jungian ideas as they apply to gender roles and relationships in contemporary chinese culture. Moving beyond a western interpretation of key concepts, wang attempts to understand and deal with the difficulties of contemporary marriages in a rapidly changing society, investigating how young chinese couples have been affected by traditional values, westernisation, and the one-child policy. Wang also discusses how depth psychology has developed and been applied in china, highlighting how it differs in chinese and western settings and the problems and achievements chinese people have faced. She concludes that the chinese psyche today is experiencing a transition from the compliance of collectivism to the awareness of individuation, and that the rediscovery of the notion of integrity will help chinese therapists to find their way, make young chinese people independent individuals, and bring a new approach to their marriage. 9780367369279An International Perspective 9780367347567 0367347563 work & organizational psychology �]\ON�S�R�xvz�i��Work And StressA Research Overview%State Of The Art In Business ResearchPhilip Dewe And Cary L CooperKStress is a leading cause of ill health in the workplace.

Appelbaum traces popular depictions and interpretations of st. Francis from the time when non-catholic americans ""discovered"" him in the nineteenth century to the present.

However, instead of immediately creating the common schools--accessible, elementary education--that seemed necessary to create such a citizenry, the federalists in power founded one of the most ubiquitous but forgotten institutions of early american life: academies, privately run but state-chartered secondary schools that offered european-style education primarily for elites. By 1800, academies had become the most widely incorporated institutions besides churches and transportation projects in nearly every state. In this book, mark boonshoft shows how many americans saw the academy as a caricature of aristocratic european education and how their political reaction against the acad< emy led to a first era of school reform in the united states, helping transform education from a tool of elite privilege into a key component of self-government. And yet the very anti-aristocratic critique that propelled democratic education was conspicuously silent on the persistence of racial and gender inequality in public schooling. 9781469659534 9781680530919 1680530917�politics & government|international relations//social studies|society & culture: general|social issues & processes|globalization//interdisciplinary studies|development studies//social studies|warfare & defence//politics & government|political activism|terS_�N^�2m�[hQ�&Contemporary Security Issues In Africa Lere Amusan; Isiaka Alani BadmusnIn volume, an emerging generation of african scholars examines specific states in africa where instability is the order of the day. Considerations of african instability are highly relevant in today's world, where one examines the types of regimes that were put in place after the cold war and their effects on africa. Multiparty systems introduced in africa, rather than bringing about inclusive governance, allowed for the emergence of religious strife, ethnic conflict, and cronyism inscribed in the continent's "politicalscapes." the economics of exclusivity fueled by globalization have decisively contributed to the emergence of non-state actors claiming sovereignty in sovereign states. From libya's implosion to the low-key war in mozambique to the crisis of climate change, there are many variables that make stability a mirage on the continent. Widespread terrorism implies that for the foreseeable future, the continent may be a theater of crises. Regime change, as seen in libya, ivory coast, and liberia, not only increases instability in the states concerned, but has and will have spill over effects in adjacent states. 9781785511899 1785511890-NN�~�v�e‰�p���{vf[b��vޘ��6eυFNew Views Of The Middle Ages: The Wyvern Collection At Bowdoin College-Kathryn Gerry; Ayla Lepine; Stephen Perkinson4Scala Arts & Heritage Publishers/ Acc Art Books Ltd.�A survey of the wyvern collection of medieval and early renaissance art at bowdoin college museum of art, brunswick, maine.

However, assessment has historically been a neglected area in teacher education programmes, and empirical research has consistently shown assessment as an area of challenge for many teachers. While there is an increased focus across teacher education and professional literature on enhancing the assessment capacity of educators, there remains little empirical research on innovative and data-based strategies to effectively achieve this goal.

Straddling both heritage studies and archaeological practice, this volume incorporates a range of settings, from practical experiments with sustainable pottery kilns in kenya, to an elite palace and its hidden traditional heritage in northwestern tanzania, to ancestral knowledge about heritage landscapes in rural ethiopia. 0367859424 9781626378896 1626378894�N2m�T-NN�v�`�b:g�g�T�eS:hQb��S�AIntelligence Communities And Cultures In Asia And The Middle EastA Comprehensive Reference Bob De Graaf�How are intelligence systems structured in countries across asia and the middle east from russia to india, from turkey to china and japan, from kazakhstan to saudi arabia? in what ways did decolonization and the cold war influence their organization? 9780367522261 0367522268 R�t^0'`L�:NN'`lQl���N'Youth, Sexuality And Sexual CitizenshipSexuality, Culture And HealthXEdited By Peter Aggleton, Rob Cover, Deana Leahy, Daniel Marshall < And Mary Lou Rasmussen�Sexual citizenship is a powerful concept associated with debates about recognition and exclusion, agency, respect and accountability. For young people in general and for gender and sexually diverse youth in particular, these debates are entangled with broader imaginings of social transitions: from  child to  adult and from  unreasonable subject to one  who can consent . This international and interdisciplinary collection identifies and locates struggles for recognition and inclusion in particular contexts and at particular moments in time, recognising that sexual and gender diverse young people are neither entirely vulnerable nor self-reliant.;focusing on the;numerous;domains in which debates about youth, sexuality and citizenship are enacted and contested,;youth, sexuality and;sexual citizenship explores young people s experiences in diverse but linked settings: in the family, at school and in college, in employment, in social media and through engagement with health services. 9780367534431 0367534436-N�V�l�l�^���t�_0�[��N6R�^����&Ideas, Praxis And Institutional DesigncAfter thirty years of mao era (1949-1979) which was struggle-based, the communist party of china has begun to change its position as a pioneering revolutionary party, evolving into a universal ruling party that transcends class interests. Meanwhile, administrative and judicial reforms oriented toward a more efficient, serving government and the rule of law have been actively carried out. As the earliest work on constructive jurisprudence of new proceduralism in china, this book elaborates on the ideological confrontation on the "direction of china". It includes academic debates on politics and law which the author has been involved in, and top-level institutional design in china. Besides, this book introduces, analyzes and evaluates the focus of chinese contemporary jurisprudence, making some critical summarizing propositions on the practical experiences. 9780367190637 036719063X19N�~�v?Q�z0�zt^NR�\t^�hQt;N��D��eƖ ,{1wS�>yO`Children, Childhood And Youth In The Long Nineteenth Century: A Global Primary Source Collection,Edited By Stephanie Olsen And Heidi MorrisonuThis is the first volume of a four volume;set that;brings together essential, important and rare english language primary sources that focus on children, childhood and youth throughout the long nineteenth century. The collection considers various interconnecting perspectives: social, cultural, legal, medical, political, religious, educational, economic, and emotional and helpful contextualization accompanies the sources. It includes sources that address adult attitudes towards children, childhood, and youth, as well as the experiences of children and youth themselves, whenever possible. Focusing on britain and empire, the set provides a much-needed view of the nineteenth century from the perspective of some of its youngest, and most overlooked, actors. An important corrective to viewing british history, or the history of childhood, in isolation, the global focus of this set gives mainstream and alternative perspectives on major trends and events of the era, including: industrial capitalism, colonization, nation-states, revolution, slavery, immigration, westernization, reform and rebellion, rights, and territorial expansion. 9780367247744 0367247747_'`�v��0 T'`K`b�wQ0(W��U^ NGPň T'`K`;Straight Skin, Gay Masks And Pretending To Be Gay On ScreenResearch In Sexualities Gilad Padva�Straight skin, gay masks and pretending to be gay on screen examines cinematic depictions of pretending-to-be-gay, assessing performances that reflect heteronormative and explicitly homophobic attitudes, but also offer depictions of gay selfhood with more nuanced multidirectional identifications. The case of straight protagonists pretending to be gay on screen is the ideal context in which to study unanticipated progressivity and dissidence in regard to cultural construction of human sexualities in the face of theatricalized epistemological collapse. Teasing apart the dynamics of depictions of both sexual stability and fluidity in cinematic images of men pretending to be gay offers new insights into such salient issues as sexual vulnerability and dynamics and long-term queer visibility in a politically complicated mass culture which is mostly produced in heteronormative and even hostile cultural environment.architect monographs 9780367193737 0367193736Routledge �l�e~n?e�lKb�Q+Routledge Handbook Of Persian Gulf PoliticsEdited By Mehran Kamrava�The routledge handbook of persian gulf politics provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of persian gulf politics, history, economics, and society. The volume begins its examination of ottoman rule in the arabian peninsula, exploring other dimensions of the region s history up until and after independence in 1970. Featuring scholars from a range of disciplines, the book demonstrates how the persian gulf s current, complex politics is a product of interwoven dynamics rooted in historical developments and memories, profound social, cultural, and economic changes underway since the 1980s and the 1990s, and inter-state and international relations among both regional actors and between them and the rest of the world. 9780367221447 0367221446general psychology!(Wb�N�v�QuSO��-N w0R N^��[�NMRN�V�Ng�[Ye�SU\�v�_tR�gxvz0#Seeing God In Our Birth ExperiencesFA Psychoanalytic Inquiry Into Pre And Perinatal Religious Development.Routledge Studies In Religion Helen HolmesThere has been a recent surge in the examination of the evolutionary roots of religious belief, all trying to identify where the human desire to seek the supernatural and the divine comes from. This book adds a new and innovative perspective to this line of thought by being the first to link prenatal and perinatal experiences to the origins of these unconscious underpinnings of our shared images of god. The book poses a ground-breaking paradigm by thinking about our earliest images of god, whether theist or atheist, within a psychoanalytic framework, comparing and contrasting the thought of freud and rizzuto. It looks at the issue of images of god from a diversity of psychological perspectives including, attachment theory, developmental theory and bio-psychosocial perspectives. This analysis leads to the conclusion that in parallel to postn< atal findings, uterine and birth experiences can predispose individuals to form god representations later in life, through underpinning affective and environmental factors. 9780367483203 0367483203crime and societyў�N-�ir���V�m9���v�y�eyr�_Shopping While Black$Consumer Racial Profiling In AmericaCriminology And Justice Studies'Shaun L. Gabbidon And George E. Higgins�Shopping while black: consumer racial profiling in america;lays out the results of nearly two decades of research on racial profiling in retail settings.Gabbidon and higgins address the generally neglected racial profiling that occurs in retail settings. Although there is no existing national database on shoplifting or consumer racial profiling (crp) from which to study the problem, they survey relevant legal cases and available data sources. This problem clearly affects a large number of racial/ethnic minorities, and causes real harm to the victims, such as the emotional trauma attached to being excessively monitored in stores and, in the worst-case scenarios, falsely accused of shoplifting. Their analysis is informed by their own experience: one co-author is a former security executive for a large retailer, and both are black men who understand firsthand the sting of being profiled because of their color. 9780367482244 036748224X 9780820358390 0820358398N�e�]D��_pQ�~̑ eY�^�~�w�{\�VY-N�v\O�TEe�NRA Day's Pay: Stories About Work From The Flannery O'connor Award For Short Fiction*Ethan Laughman; Robert Abel; Wendy Brenner 9780813066530 0813066530\regional & national history|natural history|photography & photographs|limnology (freshwater)[OW̑���v�l�uKN4l�@�ё�e�N�v�w�l0wm�n�^GP܀0W�TeP�^)n�lFlorida's Healing Waters<Gilded Age Mineral Springs, Seaside Resorts, And Health Spas Rick Kilby�A colorful look at a forgotten era of florida tourism.Filled with rare photographs, vintage postcards and advertisements, and fascinating writing from over 100 years ago, florida's healing waters spotlights a little-known time in florida history when tourists poured into the state in search of good health. Rick kilby explores the victorian belief that water caused healing and rehabilitation, tracing the history of "taking the waters" from its origins in the era of enlightenment. Nineteenth-century americans traveled from afar to bathe in the outdoors and soak up the warm climate of florida. Here, with more than 1,000 freshwater springs, 1,300 miles of coastline, and 30,000 lakes, water was an abundant resource.Through the wealth of images in this book, kilby shows how florida's natural wonders were promoted and developed as restorative destinations for america's emerging upper class.Fordham University Press 9780933784437 0933784430�bisac category: literary criticism | english/ irish/ scottish/ welsh / literary collections | european | english/ irish/ scottish/ welsh / literary criticism | renaissance TN�S�e�N�vxvz:,{41wSStudies In The Age Of ChaucerSebastian Sobecki� Studies in the age of chaucer is the annual yearbook of the new chaucer society, publishing articles on the writing of chaucer and his contemporaries, their antecedents and successors, and their intellectual and social contexts.

Although they were not black, asian americans generally were not considered white and thus were subject to school segregation, antimiscegenation laws, and discriminatory business practices. As asian americans attempted to establish themselves in the south, they found that institutionalized racism thwarted their efforts time and again. However, this book tells the story of their resistance and documents how asian american political actors and civil rights activists challenged existing definitions of rights and justice in the south. From the formation of chinese and japanese communities in the early twentieth century through indian hotel owners' battles against business discrimination in the 1980s and '90s, stephanie hinnershitz shows how asian americans organized carefully constructed legal battles that often traveled to the state and federal supreme courts. 9781469661513 1469661519�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies݄r��_KQ(��e�]�lCg�e�N�vY�y�el;NT��v�v�^�z Blue TexasHThe Making Of A Multiracial Democratic Coalition In The Civil Rights Era Max Krochmal�This book is about the other texas, not the state known for its cowboy conservatism, but a mid-twentieth-century hotbed of community organizing, liberal politics, and civil rights activism. Beginning in the 1930s, max krochmal tells the story of the decades-long struggle for democracy in texas, when african american, mexican american, and white labor and community activists gradually came together to empower the state's marginalized minorities. At the ballot box and in the streets, these diverse activists demanded not only integration but economic justice, labor rights, and real political power for all. Their efforts gave rise to the democratic coalition of the 1960s, a militant, multiracial alliance that would take on and eventually overthrow both jim crow and juan crow. Using rare archival sources and original oral history interviews, krochmal reveals the often-overlooked democratic foundations and liberal tradition of one of our nation's most conservative states. 9781733988940 1733988947Yreligious studies|christianity|bibles//religious studies|christianity|history of religion N^�vb�T[:�Ǐ#W�~�v�V�ya�[eg�QƉ#WP[The Face Of The LordHContemplating The Divine Son Through The Four Senses Of Sacred ScriptureSteven C.

A number of the books were also adapted to stage, film, and television.

It throws light on conservative ideas, changing policies, party organisation and popular partisan support, showing how conservatism evolved and responded to domestic and global change. It explores how certain clusters of ideas and beliefs comprised a conservative view of political action and purposes, often reinforcing the importance of historic institutions such as the anglican church, the monarchy and the constitution. It also looks at the ways in which a broadening electorate required the marshalling of conservative supporters through greater party organisation, and how the conservative party became the embodiment and expression of durable popular political sentiment.

It offers a new perspective on these works by analyzing them within the framework of human rights discourse and advocacy. Literature has been an important medium for promoting the< rights of marginalized kashmiri subjects within indian-occupied kashmir and that it has been successful in putting kashmir back on the global map and in shifting discussion about kashmir from the political board rooms to the international english-language book market. In discussing human rights advocacy through literature, this book also effects a radical change of perspective by highlighting positive rights (to enjoy certain things) rather than negative ones (to be spared certain things). 9780367428006 0367499533 9780367859756 036785975019N�~�v�SqNNs^�S�hQt�S:Insurgency And Counterinsurgency In The Nineteenth CenturyA Global HistoryEdited By Mark Lawrence�Insurgency and counterinsurgency in the nineteenth century examines insurgency and counter-insurgency across the globe in the nineteenth century.

They explore links between insurgencies and nationalism, including learning curves and emulation in counter-insurgency. With a special emphasis on non-western warfare, it includes case-studies such as the katanga and white lotus rebellions largely unknown to western readers. The military history of the nineteenth century thus reveals much more than the symmetrical warfare of napoleon, grant and moltke.

It is a weapon of asymmetric warfare whose success or failure is entirely dependent on the psychological reactions of its targets.

The present book introduces students and other readers to several foundational topics of phenomenological inquiry, and illustrates phenomenology s contemporary relevance. The main topics include consciousness, intentionality, perception, meaning, and knowledge. The book also contains critical assessments of edmund husserl s phenomenological method. It argues that knowledge is the most fundamental mode of consciousness, and that the central theses constitutive of husserl s "transcendental idealism" are compatible with metaphysical realism regarding the objects of thought, perception, and knowledge. Helpful tools include introductions that help the reader segue from the previous chapter to the new one, chapter conclusions, and suggested reading lists of primary and some key secondary sources. 9780367497392 9780367027155 0367027151_m O�_�u�N�����V�_U_0�S�NN��R�g�Reading Freud s Patients#Memoir, Narrative And The Analysand$The History Of Psychoanalysis SeriesAnat Tzur MahalelWhat would the story of analysis look like if it were told through the eyes of the analysand? how would the patient write and present the analytic experience? how would the narrative as written by the analysand differ from the analytic narrative commonly offered by the analyst? what do the actual analytic narratives written by freud s patients look like?this book aims to confront these intriguing questions with an innovative reading of memoirs by freud s patients. These patients including sergei pankejeff, known as the wolf man; the poet h.

Traditionally, knowledge of the christian concept of god has been seen to come from two sources, nature and revelation. As knowledge of the natural grows, a more nuanced understanding of revelation must develop along with it. Beginning with a survey of the philosophy of science, the book analyses the place of reason and evidence in science and in religion and discusses the historical pre-cursors of both natural and ramified natural theology. It then uses bayesian probability theory to argue that inferential reasoning from data towards a divine mind behind nature can be construed in a similar way to that by which scientific hypotheses are evaluated on the basis of empirical data. 9781138346048 1138346047 N�N�vf[!h9ei�Nl;N(School Reform And Democracy In East Asia1Routledge Series On Schools And Schooling In AsiaEdited By Masamichi Ueno#This book discusses how east asia has introduced school and curricular reform to reflect democratic citizensh< ip and globalized skills, knowledge, dispositions, and competencies in the 21st century.;it also focuses on the tendencies and reasons students from japan, china, south korea, taiwan, and singapore receive the highest scores in international students assessment such as pisa and timss; yet their curiosity and motivation for learning are the lowest internationally.

It aims to answer the following question: is there any possibility for a policy of smart development and smart specialisation in rural and peri-urban areas? based on detailed analytical studies, empirical and econometric methods, as well as various european case studies, several conclusions are drawn.Smart development policies are well adapted to the developed or intermediate regions containing at the same time rural and urban areas, but do not really function for the more rural or more peripheral regions. The development policies of rural areas must be adapted to their particular characteristics, to the structure of their economies (agriculture, small firms), as well as in their diversity (distant regions, intermediate regions, rural areas near the urban areas). 9780367493462 9780367472986 0367472988philosophy of language >yOt��N���aIN�v�^�gSocial Theory And LanguageThe Construction Of Meaning%Routledge Studies In Sociolinguistics Glyn Williams�This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the historical developments underpinning our present understandings of the relationship between language and the social by integrating the study of language with key strands of sociological theory.//the book posits that theory conditions how objects are constructed and in turn the meanings allocated to them and explores the implications for the relationship between language and the social.

This book imports fiscal policy into the framework of macroeconomic analysis and through the analysis of the former, it unfolds the major changes of china's macroeconomic operation in the past 20 years. This book begins with china's rejoining the general agreement on tariffs and trade (gatt) in the 1990s which enabled china to deepen the reform and join the international market finally. It elaborates on the challenges china's taxation would be confronted with after rejoining the gatt, including the decrease of tax revenue and higher requirements for tax reform. 9780367518240 0367518244SO6RKNY�v�OW�e O�epQYeNckYe��v�O0�z�NN��T�v��4Russia's Islam And Orthodoxy Beyond The Institutions4Languages Of Conversion, Competition And Convergence/Edited By Alfrid K. Bustanov And Michael Kemper?Islam and the orthodox church in contemporary russia are usually studied in isolation from each other, and each in relation to the kremlin; the latter demands the development of a home-grown and patriotic  religious traditionalism, as a bulwark against subversive  non-traditional imports. This volume breaks new ground by focusing on charismatic missionaries from both religions who bypass the hierarchies of their respective faith organizations and challenge the  traditionalism paradigm from within russia's many religious traditions, and who give new meanings to the well-known catchwords of russia's identity discourse. The moscow priest daniil sysoev confronted the russian orthodox church with  uranopolitism , a spiritual vision that defies patriotism and nationalism; the media-savvy geidar dzhemal projected an  islamic eurasianism and a world revolution for which russia's muslims would provide the vanguard; and the islamic terrorist said buriatskii found respect among left- and rig< ht-wing russians through his islamic adaptation of lev gumilev's  passionarity paradigm. 9781138496132 9780823288960 082328896X�bisac category: political science | political process | campaigns & elections / language arts & disciplines | journalism / social science | media studies-�pN�s�[:?e�l^JT0ё���TS_0W5uƉ�e��@Buying Reality : Political Ads, Money, And Local Television News Danilo YanichFFrom a certain perspective, the biggest political story of 2016 was how the candidate who bought three-quarters of the political ads lost to the one whose every provocative tweet set the agenda for the day's news coverage. With the arrival of bot farms, microtargeted facebook ads, and cambridge analytica, isn't the age of political ads on local tv coming to a close? you might think. But you'd be wrong to the tune of $4.4 billion just in 2016. In us elections, there's a lot more at stake than the presidency, and for the campaigns running races down the ballot--for 535 congressional seats, 55 governorships, and countless elections for state legislator, mayor, judge, attorney general, and more--tv spending has gone up dramatically since 2006. The 2020 campaign shows no signs of bucking this trend. When candidates don't enjoy the name recognition and celebrity of the presidential contenders, it's very much business as usual. They rely on the local tv newscasts, watched by thirty million people every day--not tweets--to convey their messages to an audience more fragmented than ever. 9780823288953 9780823289141 0823289141�Nh��[Bl�^�b�:L��R-N�v�N�v݋�gA Is For Asylum Seeker: Words For People On The Move / A De Asilo: Palabras Para Personas En Movimiento Rachel Ida Buff; Alejandra Oliva. 9780823289158 9781469661582 1469661586�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|gender studies: women��Vc����i�}T�eg�V�[t�`�vR �American Honor@The Creation Of The Nation's Ideals During The Revolutionary EraCraig Bruce SmithsThe american revolution was not only a revolution for liberty and freedom, it was also a revolution of ethics, reshaping what colonial americans understood as ""honor"" and ""virtue."" as craig bruce smith demonstrates, these concepts were crucial aspects of revolutionary americans' ideological break from europe and shared by all ranks of society. Focusing his study primarily on prominent americans who came of age before and during the revolution - notably john adams, benjamin franklin, thomas jefferson, and george washington - smith shows how a colonial ethical transformation caused and became inseparable from the american revolution, creating an ethical ideology that still remains. By also interweaving individuals and groups that have historically been excluded from the discussion of honor - such as female thinkers, women patriots, slaves, and free african americans - smith makes a broad and significant argument about how the revolutionary era witnessed a fundamental shift in ethical ideas. This thoughtful work sheds new light on a forgotten cause of the revolution and on the ideological foundation of the united states. 9781469638836 9781771124058 1771124059�bisac category: political science | human rights / law | family law | children / political science | public policy | social policyb�����R�b'Y?Q�z0WMO �,{�NHrA Question Of Commitment The Status Of Children In Canada)Studies In Childhood And Family In Canada/Thomas Waldock; R.

In the first edition of a question of commitment, editors r. Brian howe and katherine covell provided a template of analysis for understanding this evolution. They identified three overlapping stages of development as children transitioned from being regarded as objects to subjects in their own right: social laissez-faire, paternalistic protection, and children's rights. In the social laissez-faire stage, children are regarded as objects, and largely as the property of parents. In the paternalistic protection stage, children are seen as vulnerable and in need of protection. 9781771124089 17711240836bisac category: fiction | native american & aboriginalb/f�{k�vΑN� `O�[b�v�V�[ZP�N�NHN�5I Am A Damn Savage; What Have You Done To My Country?BEukuan Nin Matshi-manitu Innushkueu; Tanite Nene Etutamin Nitassi?Indigenous StudiesAn Antane Kapesh; Sarah HenziRInternal **1395 characters quebec author an antane kapesh's two books, je suis une maudite sauvagesse (1976) and qu'as-tu fait de mon pays?

Smoking cannabis, speeding, and engaging in street-level fights are depicted as activities based on  poor choices or simple hedonism, putting young people s futures at risk. Based on comprehensive, qualitative research with young people in denmark, this book illustrates how such individualised accounts miss out on the inherently social character of risk-taking activities.Youth, risk, routine introduces a new approach to risk-taking activities as being an integral and routinised part of young people s everyday life. By applying social theories of practice, this insightful volume presents a framework for understanding the routinised dimensions of young people s engagement in risk-taking and how this is embedded in, intertwined with, and held in place by other everyday practices. 9780367502683 0367502682�1u;NIN�v�[Ye�C�cile Labode �SvQċ���Liberalism s ReligionC�cile Laborde And Her < Critics.Edited By Aurelia Bardon And Jeffrey W.

To become an elite judoka, athletes are required to develop a high level of physical literacy before they're able to execute complex throwing techniques, delivered within physically intensive combative intervals. With over one hundred different throwing techniques, with variations of each, as well as ground holds, armlocks and strangles, the importance of motor skill development and decision making is extremely high.Skill acquisition for judo; principles into practice blends theory and application by chronologically establishing the theoretical foundations underpinning skill acquisition before exploring its impact on the developing judoka. The book bridges the gap between theory and applied practice, exploring insights into the training methods of judo coaches throughout the world, providing practical examples of applied ecological dynamics, manipulating training constraints to develop their athletes and deliver performance through the talent development pathway. 9780367252830 036725283X 0367493462 9780367482039 0367482037�S'`f��[�f��[�eS-N'`+RN'`gg�v�v�N\O(uTransgender CopsHThe Intersection Of Gender And Sexuality Expectations In Police CulturesCRoutledge Critical Studies In Crime, Diversity And Criminal JusticeHeather PanterqBuilding on comparative research in the u.K.

This volume investigates the role and impact of social media in the 2016 u.S. Election, focusing specifically on the presidential nominating contest. Through case studies, survey research and content analysis, the researchers employ both human and machine coding to analyse social media text and video content. Together, these illustrate the wide variety of methodological approaches and statistical techniques that can be used to probe the rich, vast stores of social media data now available. Individual chapters examine what different candidates posted about and which posts generated more of a response. The analyses shed light on what social media can reveal about campaign messaging strategies and explore the linkages between social media content and their audiences perceptions, opinions and political participation. 9781138477063 9780367271466 036727146X �X�N�V�P��f[N�[��Sound And ImageAesthetics And Practices Sound DesignEdited By Andrew Knight-hill Focal Press�Sound and image: aesthetics and practices brings together international artist scholars to explore diverse sound and image practices, applying critical perspectives to interrogate and evaluate both the aesthetics and practices that underpin the audiovisual.Contributions draw upon established discourses in electroacoustic music, me< dia art history, film studies, critical theory and dance; framing and critiquing these arguments within the context of diverse audiovisual practices.

Examples are physical activities in the middle ages in c�rdoba, bullfighting in spain, aspects of football in various countries to winter sports in france. Football is mainly looked at in the period of the late 1930s to the 1940s, a period of dictatorship in many european countries. This is shown at the example of the german press coverage of german danish sport collaborations and the identity of spanish football during this time. A further focus are the olympic games. This topic is taken up in two articles: one discusses as its main subject the famous painting 'sport allegory/the crowing of the athletes' created by the father of pierre de coubertin, the other one has a more current content and shows stakeholders and challenges of the european youth olympics in 2015. 9780367211028 0367211025;NCgN&T�[s^I{��eg�s�N�VE�sQ�|-N�v�efNΑ�L�:N&Sovereignty And The Denial Of EqualityACivilisation And Savagery In Early Modern International RelationsXavier Mathieu�Re-conceptualizing sovereignty as  civilised sovereignty , this book makes a novel contribution to debates about sovereignty in international relations (ir) by revealing a new dimension of the concept and offering a dynamic analysis of its theory and practice.

To respond to this challenge this book draws on the logics of complexity thinking; feminist notions of care and tending; symbiotic anticipation; the posthuman and indigenous thinking to trouble rational autonomous notions of human subjectivity in education. The book responds to an international growing interest in arendtian thinking, complexity and emergence, the emerging field of anticipation studies and engagement with ideas and practices of the posthuman, including engaging with indigenous scholarship in ways which attempt to be non-appropriating. Sustainability continues to be an important theme in education, and the book responds to desires to explore education as a sustainable process or way of being in addition to education which limits itself to teaching about or for sustainability. 9780367536060 0367536064Ye^�_͑�� - FO/f`HNZPbT�Teachers Matter  But How?>Edited By Ninni Wahlstr�m, Daniel Alvunger And Daniel Sundberg�Global processes are transforming educational policy around the world in complex ways, with different implications for different local arenas.

By reviewing hempel's scientific explanation models and salmon's three conceptions  the epistemic, modal, and ontic conception  ;the book suggests that laws are essential to explanation and that our understanding of laws will help solve the problems of the latter. Concerning the nature of laws, this book tackles both the problems of regularity approach and necessitarian approach. It also proposes that the ontological order of explanation should be from events (or processes) to causation, then to regularity (laws), and finally to science system, but the epistemological order should be from science system to laws to explanation and causation. 9781138845831 9782503004150 2503004156Ureligion & theology / christian theology & theologians / western fathers (c. 160/735) 0�e�e�~^S�fN 0(71-94): 0l�*Y�y� 0-N�v^S�#Sermones De Novo Testamento (71-94)Sermones In Matthaeum Ii"Corpus Christianorum Series LatinaNL.

A cinema of pain argues that this phenomenon is observable in a pervasive sense of nostalgia in quebec culture and is especially present in the province's vibrant but deeply wistful cinema. In quebecois cinema, nostalgia not only denotes a sentimental longing for the bucolic pleasures of bygone french-canadian traditions, but, as this edited collection suggests, it evokes the etymological sense of the term, which underscores the element of pain (algos) associated with the longing for a return home (nostos). Whether it is in grandiloquent historical melodramas such as seraphin: un homme et son peche (biname 2002), intimate realist dramas like tout ce que tu possedes (emond 2012), charming art films like c.R.A.Z.Y. (vallee 2005), or even gory horror movies like sur le seuil (tessier 2003), the contemporary quebecois screen projects an image of shared suffering that unites the nation through a melancholy search for home. 9781799823612 179982361X Sb�QQ�~zz��-N�[?Q�z�veRJR4Combating The Exploitation Of Children In CyberspaceHossam Nabil ElshenrakiThe internet has greatly enhanced access to, dissemination, and sale of child pornography, which is a profitable industry estimated to generate billions of dollars worldwide.

Anna bonta moreland calls for a retrieval of thomistic thought on prophecy to view muhammad within a christian theology of revelation, without either appropriating the prophet as an unwitting christian or reducing both christianity and islam to a common denominator. This historical recovery leads to a more sophisticated understanding of islam, one that honors the integrity of the catholic tradition and, through that integrity, argues for the possibility in principle of muhammad as a religious prophet.

Van Den Heuvel�There;has been an;increased understanding of the significance of religion in the context of development. Particularly important is the recognition that religion does not just affect lives of individuals in developing countries, but is bound up with the social and political contexts in those countries as well. This book, therefore, argues that engaging in a constructive dialogue with religion is a vital task for development studies. Uniquely;relating christian theology to the;capabilities approach (ca), as developed by martha nussbaum and others, this book;furthers fruitful dialogue between religion and development studies. It theologically appropriates the ca by critically correlating the theology of dietrich bonhoeffer (1906-1945) with concepts from nussbaum s outworking of the ca. The ca expands on the actual freedom that human beings have to develop themselves, by arguing that certain central capabilities need to be protected and stimulated. 9780367480370 0367480379!ONΘi�N���[�R��kMOؚ�{�^�N㉄vΘi�0S��_0Tĉ'`N�N�RD��n�wƋCorporate Risks And LeadershipTWhat Every Executive Should Know About Risks, Ethics, Compliance And Human ResourcesEduardo Esteban MariscottiAThe context of business has been changing for companies in recent years, and following numerous corporate and accounting scandals, many countries have increased the number of national and international regulations designed to ensure transparency and compliance with the law. Because of the existence of these new regulations, the level of control, the severity of sanctions by governments, and the amount of the fines for noncompliance have increased dramatically.In parallel, with the technological revolution in communications, business management has become more transparent, and any negative event is uploaded to social networks and shared with an indeterminate number of people. This change in the regulatory, sanctioning and technological context has forced large companies to rethink risks, investments and budgets to deal in this more complex environment.To transition to this change, some companies have included ethics and compliance programs in their corporate agenda, along with marketing and sales plans, strategies, growth targets, investment plans and/or talent acquisition. 1138491128 9780367186678 0367186675�QN0�|ߘN�s�X�Sc�~�{t!j�WLModeling For Sustainable Management In Agriculture, Food And The EnvironmentPEdited By George Vlont< zos, Yiannis Ampatzidis, Basil Manos And Panos M.

Despite the recent resurgence of political science scholarship on autocratic resilience, many questions remain unanswered about the role of legitimation in contemporary non-democracies and its relationship with neighbouring concepts, like ideology, censorship, and consent. The overarching thesis of this book is that autocratic legitimation has causal influence on numerous outcomes of interest in authoritarian politics. These outcomes include regime resilience, challenger-state interactions, the procedures and operations of elections, social service provision, and the texture of everyday life in autocracies. Researchers of autocratic politics will benefit from the rich contributions of this volume. 9781138486720 9780367531751 0367531755�s �N8nb�'})�eg�v{��N`�Play And Playwork,Notes And Reflections In A Time Of Austerity%Edited By Fraser Brown And Mike WraggNBringing together authors from a range of academic disciplines and research backgrounds  united as standard-bearers for the child s right to play  and set against a backdrop evoking play s critical essence, this book documents the rise and fall of an explosive period of political interest in play in the uk.

This book explores sydney s contemporary night-time economy as the product of an intersection of both local and global transformations, as policing comes to incorporate more and more  private personnel empowered to regulate  public drinking and nightlife. Policing nightlife focuses on the historical and social conditions, cultural meanings and regulatory controls that have shaped both public and private forms of policing and security in contemporary urban nightlife. In so doing, it reflects more broadly on global changes in the nature of contemporary policing and how aspects of neoliberalism and the ideal of the  24-hour city have shaped policing, security and night-time leisure. 9780774862738 0774862734Ybisac category: history / canada / post/confederation (1867/)/history / military / canada�R�b'Y�v:g�hSekuQ�b�e�vo�S �1920 2012t^Canada's Mechanized Infantry(The Evolution Of A Combat Arm, 1920 2012 Peter Kasurak�Canada s mechanized infantry explores the development of the canadian army s infantry after the first world war.

Indeed, reconstruction has been the primary tool at the most influential historic sites, for example: the governor's palace and the capitol at colonial williamsburg, usa,;and in canada, the fortress of louisbourg. Dozens of other reconstructions have appeared during the past century in north america, undertaken by individual< s, communities, states, and provinces, and by national agencies responsible for cultural heritage. Despite this prevalence, historic reconstructions have received little scholarly attention and the question of what motivated the proponents of these projects remains largely unexamined.This book explores that question through detailed studies of ten historic reconstructions located throughout canada and the united states, ranging from 1908 to 2011. 9781138648319 9780367513832 0367513838tourism and the environment SO���e8nN�Sc�~�v�v0W*Sport Tourism And Sustainable Destinations4Edited By Brent D.

Whether sport tourism development takes the form of sport events, active participation in sport, and/or sports nostalgia/heritage, it draws on local resources, forms part of the complex dynamic of daily life. As such, sports tourism has implications for residents, with destination communities in a position to benefit from, or absorb the costs of, the extent to which development is sustainable. Subsequently, this book features contributions that focus on sport tourism and destination sustainability. Issues covered include, though are not limited to, destination management, surf localism, the production of space, event sustainability in national parks, utilisation of sport heritage for destination promotion, enhancing the attractiveness of destinations through sport tourism, destination development and sport tourism, utilising sport to motivate travel to destinations and environmentally responsible behaviour in sports tourism destinations. 9780815380221 9780367531553 0367531550sport and the media�2mSO���0W�e0:S�W0�V�[N�VE�Ɖ҉Sport In The Americas9Local, Regional, National, And International PerspectivesEdited By Mark DyresonNStatues of fans as nostalgic monuments to the north american devotion to baseball, canadian lacrosse and ethnic ideologies, the rise of modern sports and class sensibilities in s�o paulo, the inaugural world championship for women s hockey, and national memories of olympic games hosted on us soil.

It captures the religious connection, transformation, and tension within a complex traditional belief system in a multi-religious society. In particular, the book revolves around a discussion on the religious revitalization of chinese buddhism in modern malaysia. This buddhist revitalization movement is intertwined with various forces, such as colonialism, religious transnationalism, and global capitalism. Reformist buddhists have helped to remake malaysia's urban-dwelling chinese community and have provided an exit option in the malay and muslim majority nation state. As malaysia modernizes, there are growing concerns by certain segments of the country's ethnic chinese buddhist population to separate buddhism from popular chinese religions. 0367356066 9781786608789 1786608782P``�YUOo�S�P``�b/g�v�Nu�T O�dDHow Terror Evolves: The Emergence And Spread Of Terrorist TechniquesBy Yannick Veilleux-lepage�This book contextualizes the use of terror as part of wider movements of political contention, demonstrating that terroristic innovation occurs as part of wider historical processes rather than in a vacuum. Drawing on evolutionary theory, this study explains how terroristic groups innovate upon, transform, and abandon techniques of political violence in order to advance their causes against the state. The book further traces the processes through which the use of aircraft as weapons of destruction developed, from the first instances of aircraft hijacking in 1920s peru, through palestinian terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s, up to its adoption by al-qaeda in the 1990s and leading to the 9/11 attack in 2001.

As more and more firms begin to recognize the potential of this novel approach, the ce quickly moves from theory to practice and the demand for a coherent and structured strategic approach  one that companies can rely upon when commencing their circular journey  grows accordingly. Strategic management and the circular economy aims to bridge the theory-practice gap by putting forward a detailed step-by-step process for analysis, formulation, and planning of ce strategies. Starting from a solid framework of easy-to-grasp constructs (key principles, business objectives and areas of intervention), the authors guide the reader through an understanding of how conventional tools for strategic management can be re-programed under a ce perspective. 9780367192587 0367192586beu'`-      !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijkm����nopqrstuvwxyz{|}~��ir�%����Ǐ-�pN_N^:W_�vޏ�c�Oۏ-�ir�l�bcStrategic Shopper MarketingWDriving Shopper Conversion By Connecting The Route To Purchase With The Route To MarketGeorg August Krentzel}Strategic shopper marketing provides a uniquely strategic perspective on the "anything, anywhere, anytime" retail revolution.

It denotes a new geological epoch that is human-dominated. As mounting scientific evidence reveals, humankind has fundamentally altered atmospheric, geological, hydrological, biospheric, and other earth system processes to an extent that the risk of an irreversible system change emerges. Human societies must therefore change direction and navigate away from critical tipping points in the various ecosystems of our planet. This hypothesis has kicked off a debate not only on the geoscientific definition of the anthropocene era, but increasingly also in the social sciences. However, the specific contribution of the social sciences disciplines and in particular that of political science still needs to be fully established. This edited volume analyzes, from a political science perspective, the wider social dynamics underlying the ecological and geological changes, as well as their implications for governance and politics in the anthropocene. The focus is on two questions: (1) what is the contribution of political science to the anthropocene debate, e.G. 9780367504496 0367504499 l�KQ`0l�KQ`;NINN�|^yMarx, Marxism And The SpiritualIEdited By Anjan Kumar Chakrabarti, Anup Kumar Dhar And Serap A. Kayatekin�;while marxian theory has produced a sound and rigorous critique of capitalism, has it itself faltered in its own practice of social transformation? has it faltered because of the marxian insistence on the hyper-secularization of political cultures? the history of religions  with the exception of some spiritual traditions  has not been any less heartless and soulless. This book sets up a much-needed dialogue between a rethought marxian praxis of the political and a rethought experience of spirituality. Such rethinking within marxism and spirituality and a resetting of their lost relationship is perhaps the only hope for a non-violent future of both the marxian reconstruction of the self and the social as also faith-based life-practices. Building on past work in critical theory, this book offers a new take on the relationship between a rethought marxism and a rethought spirituality (rethought in the life, philosophy and works of christian thinkers, anti-christian thinkers, marxian thinkers, those critical of marxist statecraft, dalit neo-buddhist thinkers, thinkers drawing from judaism, as well as thinkers drawing critically from christianity). 9780367859770 9780367861926 0367861925education policy�o'Y)R�N?e�^�[f[!hYe���v:_�Rr^����S�S 1901-20189The Australian Government Muscli< ng In On School EducationA History (1901 2018) Grant Rodwell�Despite the australian constitution implying school education to be a state responsibility, the commonwealth has increasingly interfered with state school education.

Ultimately questioning whether this influence is in the interests of the members of the community who depend on education, the book holds government engagement in education to account. 9780367492205 0367492202african & third world politics ёx�V�[xvz�t��N�The Brics StudiesTheories And IssuesEdited By Xu Xiujun Given their immense potential for development and representation of a new international political and economic order, the brics countries have become a strong nascent force on the global stage.

There are times when, out of a sense of compassion, a just cause should not be pressed.There are times when we need to accommodate the dreadfulness of loss for opponents, even when the cause for which they fight is unjust. We may also have to come to terms with the irreversibility of historic injustice and reconcile. Political compassion of this sort carries risks. Pushed too far, it may weaken our commitment to justice through too great a sympathy for those on the other side. It would be convenient if such compassion could be constrained by a clear set of political principles. But principles run the quite different risk of promoting an  ossified dissent , unable to respond to change.In this book, tony milligan argues that principles are only a limited guide to dissent in unique, contingent circumstances. 9780367516697 0367516691o�}Y?aof�peW[�e�N�NN��vON#��N~�VThe Good VisionHA Practitioner s Roadmap For Corporate Responsibility In The Digital Age Ivri VerbinAs intolerance grows of what is perceived to be corporate complicity in environmental degradation, and as reputations can crumble in real time across social media platforms & now more than ever private-sector organizations will be judged on whether they are part of the problem or part of the solution.

The city on a hill and the sovereign individual are tropes at the center of modern anglo-american political thought, and the literature that accompanied britain's rise to imperial prominence played a key role in creating them. We are kings is the first book to interpret eighteenth-century british literature from the perspective of political theology. Spencer jackson returns here to a body of literature long associated with modernity's origins without assuming that modernity entails a separation of the religious from the profane. The result is a study that casts this literature in a surprisingly new light. 9780813944722 9781516532735 1516532732beuON�l���{tL�Nu�m�T�[7b�TLr�v8h�_t�_bStrategic Corporate Communication: Core Concepts For Managing Your Career And Your Clients' BrandsRoss Brinkert; Lisa V ChewningkStrategic corporate communication: core concepts for managing your career and your clients' brands introduces readers to essential strategies in corporate communication.

Among the many vast contributions of thomas jefferson, one of the most celebrated founding fathers, was a continuing admiration and lifelong affinity for all things italian. Jefferson believed that the genesis of liberty followed a path from ancient rome, through the italian renaissance and enlightenment, and toward a progressive future for the new american nation.While jefferson's affinity for italy is well known, studying his role in assimilating italian culture into the american project is a new venture. Surveying jefferson as an italophile reveals a wide spectrum of cultural appreciation. Ralph giordano's innovative new book will certainly appeal to those interested in american history and america's emergence as a developing nation. 9781680531015 1680531018pafrican history|british & irish history|diplomacy|colonialism & imperialism|military history: post ww2 conflictsޘ�_�k+Y�b�v��V ��v�[zz�Q�TQe�c*��s �1968-1969t^DBritain, The Royal Air Force And Relief Flights To Biafra, 1968-1969Onianwa Oluchukwu Ignatus.In this intriguing new book, onianwa oluchukwu ignatus investigates britain's decision to engage the royal air force (raf) in the relief operations during the nigerian civil war. The main area badly ravaged by the conflict being the republic of biafra was declared "a frontier of need." humanitarian concerns and mounting public pressures, both in britain and other western countries, prompted the relief condition in biafra to be declared an emergency. International voluntary relief workers found themselves for the first time at the center stage of a relief crisis that involved numerous governments and public opinion across the globe. Despite the existing research on humanitarianism of the nigerian civil war, until now no scholar has explored the british move to deploy the raf for relief flights to biafra. 9781119560968 1119560969�[‰�~Nmf[�StPrinciples Of MacroeconomicsJustin Wolfers 9781799826729 1799826724Ye�yfNt���T��f[`N�v N�S�e�l��etQ�vxvz�T:gObTextbook Theory And Invariant Approaches To Language Learning: Emerging Research And Opportunities Elena Orlova�The structure and content of a contemporary second language textbook are intended to encourage the initiative learner activity and create proper conditions for its manifestation in the curriculum.

The 13th five-year plan of the central committee of the communist party of china calls for a more equitable and sustainable social security system. That's giving us unlimited power to tell china's old-age story and welcome to the 19th national congress of the communist party of china. In the light of the above considerations, this book was written. As the core content of social security, old-age security has always been the basic people livelihood project that the communist party of china and government attach great importance to, and is also the important administrative goal of building a moderately prosperous society. It is necessary to review the evolution of china's old-age security system, sum up the achievements and experience, and look into the development path of the old-age security with chinese characteristics. 9781945459214 1945459212neducation|higher & further education/ tertiary education//education//education|history of education//education\lQl�SNN>yOR�eT��|w�eg�p�TؚI{Ye���vl;Nb��1Connecting Civic Engagement And Social Innovation,Toward Higher Education's Democratic PromiseAmanda Moore Mcbride; Eric Mlyn 9781945459221 9781948908504 1948908506hcentral government|politics & government|migration/ immigration & emigration|refugees & political asylumYu(W��V�vb�e��yl�v��υMR�~The Battle To Stay In AmericaImmigration's Hidden Front Line Michael KaganUniversity Of Nevada Press�The battle to stay in america is the story of a community coming to grips with the federal government's crackdown on immigrants and learning how to defend itself.

Arguing that matter, and, more broadly, the natural world, has been misconceived since descartes, it explores the devastating impact that this has had in practice in the west. As such, alternatives are needed, whether philosophical ones such as those offered by figures such as whitehead and nagel, or posthumanist ones such as those developed by barad and latour. Drawing on recent anthropological work ignored by philosophers and sociologists alike, the author considers a radical alternative cosmology: animism understood as panpsychism in practice. This understanding of mind and matter, of culture and nature, is then turned against present-day posthumanist critiques of what the anthropocene amounts to, showing them up as philosophically misguided, politically mute, and ethically wanting. 9780367182922 9780367520151 036752015X-N�VSO��?eV{Sport Policy In China=Jinming Zheng, Shushu Chen, Tien-chin Tan And Barrie Houlihan;Acknowledging china s established status as a global sporting superpower, this is the first book to systematically investigate sport policy in that country.

They must be taken into account in any attempt to explain the frailty of italian public institutions  their instability, inefficiency, feeble legitimacy, inability to win citizens respect, and subservience to sectional interests. Moreover, italian politics since the risorgimento can be interpreted as a 150 year-long attempt to prevent factionalism and polarization from spinning out of control and becoming disruptive for the country. This book deals with the historical question of political factionalism and ideological polarization in post-1945 italy from the point of view of delegitimation. In our definition, delegitimation occurs when one political subject denies another in principle the right to exist, and in more concrete terms that of governing the country, by arguing that it is incompatible with one or more of the values on which the public sphere is founded. 9781138570580 9781138389427 1138389420political parties�[�'k�g�S�R�R�v�S` 1990-2008=Reflections On The Extreme Right In Western Europe, 1990 2008Christopher T.

The chapters in this book look at an earlier period before most of this increase. Comprised of eight previously published articles or book chapters and two hitherto unpublished studies, this book gives extended accounts of the major extreme right political parties or movements in a number of west european countries, looking both at their antecedents and also at their their support and significance in the 1980s and early 1990s. The countries covered in detail are france, the federal republic of germany (old and new regions), the netherlands, belgium, switzerland, and austria. During the last three decades some earlier parties of the extreme right in these west european countries have disappeared into oblivion, to be superseded by replacements; others have survived and flourished. Given the date when most of these chapters were written, they are now to be regarded as contributions to a modern history about the status and relevance of the respective parties or movements. 0367490781 9780367184414 0367184419�o'Y)R�Nz�/g���W��[��0?eV{0:g�gThe Australian Art Field!Practices, Policies, Institutions!Routledge Research In Art HistoryIEdited By Tony Bennett, Deborah Stevenson, Fred Myers And Tamara WinikoffThis book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to take stock of the frictions generated by a tumultuous time in the australian art field and to probe what the crises might mean for the future of the arts in australia.

However, there is no natural law suggesting the need for such organisations, not in market economies and definitely not in modern democratic societies  and there is no justification for such types of organisation. Arguing that most current organisations are orthodox, hierarchical, anti-democratic, oppressive, unfair, and unjust, this book presents a viable alternative, a better type of organisation  the democratic organisation. Diefenbach develops and provides step by step a systematic, comprehensive, thorough, and detailed general model of the democratic organisation.

This roadmap drives the everyday activity of the company as well as any change it makes both internally and externally. And it is what drives projects. In fact, it is arguable that success in business is almost wholly reliant on an ability to implement change effectively  whether it is a computer system that gives you the edge on your competitor, bringing a new product to market, adopting new ways of working, or completely redefining the approach your company takes. Success and survival in business relies on change and the way that business implements change is through projects. Therefore, if you work in the world of business, sooner or later the chances are that you will be involved in a project, as a stakeholder, advisor, sponsor or possibly running it - as the project manager. 0367516683 9780367371340 0367371340 ��V�|^yR�g�v�r�z`�`.The Independent Mind In British Psychoanalysis(Routledge Mental Health Classic Editions Eric RaynerArguably the most informative and readable account of the development of british independent psychoanalysis, eric rayner s the independent mind in british psychoanalysis offers a coherent account of the core concepts that influence the clinical practice.

But greeley's exhortation also captured popular sentiment surrounding changing ideas of american boyhood; for many educators, politicians, and parents, raising boys right seemed a pivotal step in securing the growing nation's future. This book revisits these narratives of american boyhood and frontier mythology to show how they worked against and through one another--and how this interaction shaped ideas about national character, identity, and progress. The intersection of ideas about boyhood and the frontier, while complex and multifaceted, was dominated by one arresting notion: in the space of the west, boys would grow into men and the fledgling nation would expand to fulfill its promise. Frontiers of boyhood explores this myth and its implications and ramifications through western history, childhood studies, and a rich cultural archive. 9780815738572 0815738579ꁨR~�v�}lf���~Nm�X�KN��1Autonomous Vehicles: The Road To Economic Growth?"Clifford Winston; Quentin KarpilowBrookings Institution Press�Better public policies can make the road smoother for self-driving vehicles and the society that soon will depend on them.Whether you find the idea of autonomous vehicles to be exciting or frightening, the truth is that they will soon become a significant everyday presence on streets and highways not just a novel experiment attracting attention or giggles and sparking fears of runaway self-driving cars. The emergence of these vehicles represents a watershed moment in the history of transportation. If properly encouraged, this innovation promises not only to vastly improve road travel and generate huge benefits to travelers and businesses, but to also benefit the entire economy by reducing congestion and virtually eliminating vehicle accidents. The impacts of autonomous vehicles on land use, employment, and public finance are likely to be mixed. But widely assumed negative effects are generally overstated because they ignore plausible adjustments by the public and policymakers that could ameliorate them.T'Yf[,�VfN��,-N�Vf[,?e�lf[,�~Nmf[,�VE�sQ�|,�N2mxvzNN 9781469658940 1469658941�religious studies|christianity|christian churches & denominations|pentecostal churches//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//social studies|sociology & anthropology|sociology|social theoryA~c��y��bN�2m�N�T�N�N�v��V�h2Prosperity Gospel Latinos And Their American DreamWhere Religion LivesTony Tian-ren Lin In this immersive ethnography, tony tian-ren lin explores the reasons that latin american immigrants across the united states are increasingly drawn to prosperity gospel pentecostalism, a strand of protestantism gaining popularity around the world. Lin contends that latinos embrace prosperity gospel, which teaches that believers may achieve both divine salvation and worldly success, because it helps them account for the contradictions of their lives as immigrants. Weaving together his informants' firsthand accounts of their religious experiences and everyday lives, lin offers poignant insight into how they see their faith transforming them both as individuals and as communities. The theology fuses salvation with material goods so that as these immigrants pursue spiritual rewards they are also, perhaps paradoxically, striving for the american dream. After all, lin observes, prosperity is the gospel of the american dream. In this way, while becoming better prosperity gospel pentecostals they are also adopting traditional white american norms. 9781469658957 9781907222849 1907222847 �KQ)n�_:0W N�v�eP[:OPgb�r�e�N�v�oۏ��;NIN!Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground'Radical Escapism In The Age Of ParanoiaBanksStrange Attractor Press�An account of the english rock band hawkwind shows them to be one of the most innovative and culturally significant bands of the 1970s.Fifty years on from when it first formed, the english rock band hawkwind continues to inspire devotion from fans aroun 9780674241176 0674241177ck�~�v�o�`�ؚn�eg�v][z�1r�`Orthodox Passions*Narrating Filial Love During The High QingEpstein, Maram9In this groundbreaking study, maram epstein identifies filial piety as the dominant expression of love in qing dynasty texts.

The football field is akin to the plot or stage in narrative or dramatic modes, respectively, and the players are viewed as characters whose metamorphoses, in the text of football, are occasioned from the label of their positions to the completeness of the plot by the kinetic power of the ball. In employing this commentary, a standard football match is seen as a representation of the active text. Particularly, without commentary football unfolds as an unspoken semiotic narrative. Football is seen, therefore, as existing in a continuum of signification encapsulated especially in the acknowledged genres of literature. 9781680531350 1680531352�law|international law//politics & government|international relations//law|international law|public international law|treaties & other sources of international law//law|international law|public international law|customary law//politics & government|interna wmsQ(W�VE�ag�~-N�v\O(u-The Role Of Customs In International TreatiesW.

Asean is a hub institution for the greater asian region, yet its importance and influence are not limited to the policy world. The post-cold war world is a world of regions, and how regions form, function and interact, and how the knowledge of these processes is produced, are hotly debated questions. Asean is both a test case for regional institutionalization, and for non-western centric theory building. Combining chapters on asean s internal cooperation, and on its relations with its neighbours and partners, this book provides an interdisciplinary and diverse approach to understanding asean. This book will be of great interest to scholars of asean, the broader asian region and for scholars of regionalism in general. 9780367439224 0367439220 -N�V�v�WcwYeN>yO�SN+Christianity And < Social Engagement In China.Routledge Religion In Contemporary Asia Series$Francis Khek Gee Lim And Bee Bee SngfHow does christianity continue to experience growth in an increasingly authoritarian political system that enforces strict regulations on religion? how are ordinary christians affected by social and political changes in the country, and how do they make their influence felt in wider society? taking chinese christians experience as a case study, lim and sng examine the possibilities and limitations of christian engagement in society under an authoritarian regime.

Indeed, feminist and gender studies discussions are beset with persistent splits and disagreements. This reader suggests that returning to, and placing centre-stage, the role of philosophy, especially critical realist philosophy of science, is invaluable for efforts that seek to overcome or mitigate the uncertainty and acrimony that have resulted from this situation. In particular, it claims that the dialectical logic;that runs through critical realist philosophy is ideally suited to advancing feminist and gender studies discussions about broad ontological and epistemological questions and considerations, intersectionality, and methodology, methods, and empirical research. 9780367234775 0367234777ċ��l�e�_N荇eSf[`N��e�X�3Critical Autoethnography And Intercultural LearningEmerging VoicesEdited By Phiona Stanley�Critical autoethnography;and intercultural learning shows how critical autoethnographic writing in a field such as intercultural education can help inform and change existing research paradigms.

It signifies a transition into young adulthood and the increasing expectations for independence that can feel exciting, liberating, and daunting! for students with disabilities this transition may be even more challenging. Despite the challenges, more and more students with disabilities are attending postsecondary colleges and universities. While this is certainly encouraging, students with disabilities are less likely to successfully complete their postsecondary programs when compared with their general population peers. So, what do we do? we can learn from our successes during early education and from successful postsecondary programs, taking what we have learned and bring these lessons to scale so that fully inclusive postsecondary programs are available for all students with special education needs. 9780815364061 9780367534196 0367534193�[Ye }{Q0�l�_N�S�S�'k2mYCQ>yO�v‰�p#Religious Literacy, Law And History,Perspectives On European Pluralist Societies/Edited By Alberto Melloni And Francesca CadedduJThe book profiles some of the macro and micro factors that have impact on european religious literacy.

Ercan And Ricardo Fabrino Mendon�a:Deliberative democracy is an approach to democracy that requires collective decision-making to be preceded by reasoned, inclusive, and respectful debate for it to be legitimate. It has become an increasingly dominant approach to democracy over the last few decades. In recent years, there has been a particular focus on  deliberative systems. a systemic approach to deliberative democracy opens up a new way of thinking about public deliberation in both theory and practice. It suggests understanding deliberation as a communicative activity that occurs in a diversity of spaces, and emphasizes the need for interconnection between these spaces. It offers promising solutions to some of the long-standing theoretical issues in the deliberative democracy literature such as legitimation, inclusion, representation, as well as the interaction and interconnection between public opinion formation and decision-making sites more generally. The deliberative systems approach also offers a new way of conceptualizing and studying the practice of deliberation in contemporary democracies. 9780815396130 9780367520342 0367520346  �_��Ye�� �v��nc�W@x2The Evidential Basis Of  evidence-based Education Edited By Adrian SimpsonF"evidence-based education" (ebe) is a catchline for policy makers and school leaders alike, with its advocates promoting their work as being "rigorous" and "scientific". The chapters in this book, written by leading educators and philosophers, place this approach in context and challenge whether the arguments it leads to live up to the hype.Ebe advocates promote particular, restricted approaches to determining policy and practice in schools, with only some forms of evidence accepted as legitimate. Experimental methods designed for the well-controlled environments of science and medicine in which subjects and treatments can be isolated are nonetheless promoted as  the gold standard even when transposed to complex social situations of interacting teachers and learners. This book explores some of the problems with this approach. 9780367520335 0367520338 0367495015 0367371359 9781138549739 1138549738FUNS��_�_^cWS%The Lawyer's Guide To Business EthicsKeith W. Diener�Legal practice is both a profession and, increasingly, a business. Lawyers are routinely confronted with a complex set of ethical questions due to the adversarial nature of lega< l practice and justice, and at the same time handle relationships with different stakeholders within their own practice, including clients, partners and managers. This presents a unique set of challenges that are not experienced in other professions. Written in a highly accessible style, the lawyer s guide to business ethics transforms business ethics theory for the practice of law, identifies the unique applications, and provides a framework to guide the practicing lawyer through the various levels of ethical complexity. The book examines the social, ethical, personal and economic forces influencing lawyers' work, explains the rules of professional conduct, and presents real-life ethical dilemmas to enhance learning and to assist in finding appropriate outcomes. 9781138549746 9781138624955 1138624950 asian history$N!kNLu'YbKN���v�N��f[>m��eNLu�y�^�v^���e\Ջ,The Kyoto School During The Inter-war Period*Non-western Attempts For A New World OrderKosuke Shimizu�The kyoto school's challenge to transcend the 'western' domination over the 'rest' of the world contains important points for contemporary 'non-western' and 'global ir' literature.

The sdgs make the central promise to leave no one behind and include a dedicated goal to reduce inequalities. Human rights advocates have put great hopes in the sdgs as an instrument for transformative change. But do they bring about the much-needed paradigm shift? or were the extensive consultations and negotiations much ado about nothing?"sustainable development goals and human rights: a critical early review" follows two central lines of inquiry. The chapters examine to what extent do the sdgs live up to the promise to reduce inequalities and provide for monitoring and policies that address the needs of marginalized and invisible populations. They further suggest transparent and binding accountability processes and mechanisms to ensure that the sdgs are more than lofty goals and bring power to their promise. 9781138495296 9780367530044 036753004Xmedia & communications ��V�Oo`�1u�l,{50ag)The U.S. Freedom Of Information Act At 50Edited By W.

It complicates narratives of increasing affluence in postwar canada, revealing that the inverse was true for indigenous communities along the winnipeg river. ""dammed"" makes clear that hydroelectric generating stations were designed to serve settler populations. Governments and developers excluded the anishinabeg from planning and operations and failed to consider how power production might influence the health and economy of their communities. By so doing, canada and ontario thwarted a future that aligned with the terms of treaty, a future in which both settlers and the anishinabeg thrive in shared territories. The same hydroelectric development that powered settler communities flooded manomin fields, washed away roads, and compromised fish populations. Anishinaabe families responded creatively to manage the government-sanctioned environmental change and survive the resulting economic loss.S�/�R�b'Yxvz�S�vsQ�e�yf[b��Txvz�NXT 9781799831877 1799831876 peW[�e�N�vt^{�b�N'`L�:N(Young Adult Sexuality In The Digital Age Rachel Kalish Technology is rapidly advancing, and each innovation provides opportunities for such technology to mesh with the human enactment of physical intimacy or to be used in the quest for information about sexuality.

Private lending refers to moneylending agreements between business borrowers and;their debt investors without the involvement of banks. In china, it remains difficult for private entrepreneurs to obtain sufficient loans from state-owned banks. Thus, private lending has been a vital alternative financing channel for over 80 million businesses which are reliant on private funds as their major source of operating capital. The market volume of private financing stands at 5 trillion yuan ($783bn), making it one of the largest shadow banking systems in the world. Despite the wide popularity and systemic importance of private lending activities, they have remained outside of the official regulatory framework, leading to extra financial risks. 9781138331655213 0367233282 9780367337087 0367337088 荇eSqS:g�$R��VE�Ɖ҉"Cross-cultural Crisis NegotiationsInternational Perspectives8Edited By Terry D.

FeaginyIn this book sociologist joe feagin extends the systemic racism framework in previous routledge books by developing an innovative concept, the white racial frame. Now more than four centuries old, this white racial frame encompasses not only the stereotyping, bigotry, and racist ideology emphasized in other theories of  race, but also the visual images, array of emotions, sounds of accented language, interlinking interpretations and narratives, and inclinations to discriminate that are central to the frame s everyday operations. Deeply imbedded in american minds and institutions, this white racial frame has for centuries functioned as a broad worldview, one essential to the routine legitimation, scripting, and maintenance of systemic racism in the united states. Here feagin examines how and why this white racial frame emerged in north america, how and why it has evolved socially over time, which racial groups are framed within it, how it has operated in the past and present for both white americans and americans of color, and how the latter have long responded with strategies of resistance that include enduring counter-frames. 9780367373474 9780367218263 0367218267l�vQ���v(f)YN�N)Y��S�S+The Macedonian Question Yesterday And Today1Routledge Histories Of Central And Eastern EuropeAlexis HeraclidesMacedonia or  turkey in europe , with macedonia as its largest chunk, was, together with constantinople, the core of the ottoman empire in its last eighty years  but wrangling over this core strategic territory didn t end with the birth of modern turkey.

If individuals feel unsafe in public transportation or on the way to it, they may avoid certain routes or particular times of the day. This is problematic, since research has also found that, in some cities, especially those in the global south, a large percentage of women are "transit captives." namely, they have relatively less access to non-public forms of transportation and are, therefore, especially reliant on public transport. This issue is important not only because it affects people s safety but also because it influences the long-term sustainability of a city. In a sustainable city, safety guarantees the ability;to move freely for everyone and provides a wider sense of place attachment. Transit crime and sexual violence in cities examines the evidence of victimization in transit environments in countries around the world, exploring individuals feelings of perceived safety or lack thereof and the necessary improvements that can make transit safer and, hence, cities more sustainable. 9780367258627 9780367853044 0367853043�N��V�[L��R�w�[N�f�R0�y�NNP``;NINUnderstanding National Action5Authenticity And Violence, Proscription And Terrorism Chris AllenThis book is the first in-depth scholarly analysis of the british neo-nazi group national action, the first extreme right wing group to be banned in the united kingdom since world war 2.

The unprecedented fast urbanization and massive internal migration have profoundly changed almost every aspect of society. They have impacted the livelihood of children of migrants most. Because of the hukou system and related policies, china s internal migrants face major obstacles to assimilate into cities. But more than that, as this book shows, these policies have also torn families apart on a scale unseen heretofore. More than 100 million children grow up in unstable families and the great majority have suffered from prolonged separation from their parents in the migratory upheaval. This book provides an updated analysis of this mega and painful process unfolding at various geographical scales. The chapters revolve around the central notion of family togetherness, or the lack thereof. 9780367462277 9780367515805 0367515806-N�V�NT�Qё����[��N�[����_Internet Finance In China%Introduction And Practical Approaches$Ping Xie, Chuanwei Zou And Haier LiuThis book is about internet finance, a concept coined by the authors in 2012.

Unfortunately, many children suffer from developmental dysgraphia impairment in acquiring spelling or handwriting skills and this form of impairment has received relatively little attention from researchers and educators. This volume brings together, for the first time, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous research on developmental dysgraphia, presented alongside reviews of the typical development of spelling and writing skills. Leading experts on writing and dysgraphia shed light on different types of impairments that can affect the learning of spelling and writing skills, and provide insights into the typical development of these skills.

What greets a visitor to the region today is a dramatically different view of mile after mile of row crops, vineyards, orchards, and grazing acreage - some of the most fertile and productive agricultural land in the world. This remarkable transformation, with its enduring consequences, is at the center of ruling the waters, a legal, social, and environmental history of how western water law shaped, and was shaped by, the subjugation of the largest freshwater wetlands wildlife habitat in the west. At the heart of efforts to wrest arable land from the region was the kern river, which rises in the sierra nevada and carries snowmelt to what was once a great network of lakes, sloughs, and marshes at the southern end of california's central valley.

Despite his great influence, little is known about the poet's life, beyond unreliable details gleaned from his poetry. Yet juvenal's satires contain a wealth of information about the mentality of imperial-era romans. This volume offers a fresh and student-friendly translation of two of juvenal's most provocative poems: satire 2 and satire 6. With their common focus on gender and sexuality, these two works are of particular interest to today's readers. Both satire 2 and satire 6 target effeminate men and wayward women as objects of ridicule, and they ruthlessly mock thei< r behavior in an effort to expose deep-seated problems in roman society. The longer of the two works, juvenal's sixth satire, addresses a basic question, ""why get married?,"" in a tone of spite and ferocity, and its details are disturbingly graphic. Satire 2 is a shorter but equally pointed tirade against effeminacy and passive homosexuality. Taken together, the poems compel readers to critique the discourse of gender stereotypes and misogyny. 9781476673103 1476673101�social studies|society & culture: general|social issues & processes//earth sciences/ geography/ environment/ planning|regional & area planning|urban & municipal planning�W^N�e�[�SR_�sQ�N�[��0R�e�Tcb�v���e�THh�OxvzCities And Homelessness@Essays And Case Studies On Practices, Innovations And Challenges)Joaquin Jay Gonzalez Iii; Mickey P.

Challenges facing the homeless today the same as in years past: poverty, tenuous ties to family and friends or none, debilitating physical and mental health issues, and substance abuse. Compared to the 1950s-1970s, more homeless are sleeping on city streets versus in shelters or single room hotels. Homelessness rates are affected by economic trends, lack of affordable healthcare and housing, decline in public assistance programs and natural and man-made disasters.

A philosopher's economist offers the definitive account of hume's "worldly philosophy," and argues that economics served as a unifying thread of his life and work. In this insightful monograph, margaret schabas and carl wennerlind show that hume made important contributions to economic theory, for example on money, trade, and public finance. Hume's astute understanding of human behavior provided an important foundation to his economics and enabled him to follow through on the ethical and political dimensions of capitalism. He was also keen to connect his analysis with policy recommendations and sought to influence those in power. While he supported commercial modernization, because it would promote peaceful relations, foster learning, and soften religious zealotry, he was not an unqualified enthusiast. 9781642670493 1642670499ubisac category: education | higher / education | multicultural education / education | student life & student affairs͑QX!h�V�Q�z\Reframing Campus Conflict: Student Conduct Practice Through The Lens Of Inclusive Excellence-Jennifer Meyer Schrage; Nancy Geist Giacomini�This fully revised and updated second edition builds upon the original vision of the first, which was to give voice to diverse and inclusive perspectives, identities, and practices and to enact the principle that student conduct practice must be based upon tenets of social justice and restorative justice to disrupt and transform, through a lens of inclusive excellence, overly legalistic and escalated management applications in student conduct administration. In the intervening decade, this co-edited work has become more relevant than ever as colleges and universities continue to be the targets of litigation, activists, and lawmakers who have, for instance, rolled back earlier guidance under title ix regarding violence against women. Civility, hate crimes, activism, immigration, globalism versus nationalism, and free speech are all again on the forefront of campus challenges impacting conflict and conduct management. New chapters cover these and other issues, and the book is further enhanced by case studies, as well as summaries and questions for dialogue, to encourage further reflection by the reader and bolster the usefulness of the work as a textbook and campus training guide. 9781642670486 9781642670769 1642670766.f[!h&^�[b` Y�.^�RK-12�NMR�vf[u͑�e���_�V+�wz ��y�e;NIN�TvQ�N>yO��S �1Y�S�v���wD��n�Bandwidth Recovery For Schools: Helping Pre K-12 Students Regain Cognitive Resources Lost To Poverty, Racism, And Other Social MarginalizationCia Verschelden�Are students coming to your class lacking focus, having difficulty connecting with you and their peers, falling behind, or acting out when you instinctively feel they could do better? do you sometimes feel like you don't have the capacity as a teacher or school leader to give students the support they need to learn and thrive? this book makes the case that societal realities-such as poverty, racism, and social marginalization--result in depleted cognitive resources for students and for those who are trying to help them succeed. Each of us has a finite amount of mental bandwidth, the cognitive resources that are available for learning, development, work, taking care of ourselves and our families, and everything else we have to do. These "attentional resources" are not about how smart we are but about how much of our brain power is available to us for the task at hand. When bandwidth is taken up by the stress of persistent economic insecurity or the negative experiences of racism, classism, homophobia, religious intolerance, sexism, ableism, etc., there is less available for learning and growth. This is as true for young children and youth as for their parents and teachers. 9781642670776 9781681406954 1681406950�education|schools|primary & middle schools//young adult/ children's & educational|educational material//mathematics & science|science: general issuesf[`N�yf[�v�(u������[irt�yf[�v�W@xYef[ۏL���e%Universal Design For Learning Science4Reframing Elementary Instruction In Physical Science&Deborah Hanuscin; Delinda Van Garderen�Here's good news: with this practical book, you can learn from experienced elementary school educators about how to make physical science both challenging and accessible for a diverse range of students. Written by teachers for teachers, universal design for learning science will inspire you to reframe your lessons to reflect how students learn and to support the success of all students. The book is divided into three parts: rethinking instruction. The focus is on the 5e learning cycle (engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate) and universal design for learning, a systematic way to plan for and support diverse learners. You'll see how using these two frameworks can provide challenging, inquiry-based experiences for all students that support the next generation science standards. Learning by example.

Yet far from being a diabolical monster, he insisted, he was one of the "hounds of god," fierce guardians who battled sorcerers, witches, and even satan to protect the fields, flocks, and humanity a baffling claim that attracted the notice of the judges then and still commands attention from historians today. In this book, eminent scholars carlo ginzburg and bruce linco< ln offer a uniquely comparative look at the trial and startling testimony of old thiess. They present the first english translation of the trial transcript, in which the man's own voice can be heard, before turning to subsequent analyses of the event, which range from efforts to connect old thiess to shamanistic practices to the argument that he was reacting against cruel stereotypes of the "livonian werewolf" a germanic elite used to justify their rule over the baltic peasantry. 9780226674384 1975502922�~� \gZ�vYef[�`a��R�t��N�[���v�~T 1945459220 9780300253887 0300253885�[�e�'Y`\@g0�l�_�TtY��6R�v�~�~4The Zong: A Massacre, The Law And The End Of Slavery James Walvin[On november 29, 1781, captain collingwood of the british ship zong commanded his crew to throw overboard one-third of his cargo: a shipment of africans bound for slavery in america. The captain believed his ship was off course, and he feared there was not enough drinking water to last until landfall. This book is the first to examine in detail the deplorable killings on the zong, the lawsuit that ensued, how the murder of 132 slaves affected debates about slavery, and the way we remember the infamous zong today. Historian james walvin explores all aspects of the zong's voyage and the subsequent legal case - brought to court not for the murder of the slaves but because the insurers denied the owners' claim that their 'cargo' had been necessarily jettisoned.

But, on occasion, the act of destroying the sacred unintentionally bestows iconic status on the desecrated object. Iconoclasm ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������examines the reciprocity between the building and the breaking of images, paying special attention to the constructive power of destructive acts. Although iconoclasm carries with it inherently religious connotations, this volume examines the shattering of images beyond the spiritual and the sacred. Presenting responses to renowned cultural anthropologist and theorist michael taussig, these essays centre on conceptual iconoclasm and explore the sacrality of objects and belief systems from historical, cultural, and disciplinary perspectives. From milton and nietzsche to paul newman and banksy, through such diverse media and genres as photography, the popular romance novel, pornography, graffiti, cinema, advertising, and the dictionary, this book questions how icons and iconoclasms are represented, the language used to describe them, and the manner in which objects signify once they are shattered. 9780773557376(6���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[,�T&O�k�N'Yf[�VfN��,��wt�]'Yf[,��wt�]'Yf[ 9780367245535 0367245531 �l�_�[$R�v>yO��Ƌ��'The Social Epistemology Of Legal Trials(Edited By Zachary Hoskins And Jon Robson%This collection is the first book-length examination of the various epistemological issues underlying legal trials.

It induces theological reflection on the figures of adam and eve to show that the prelapsarian couple have sedimented problematically in christian thought. By engaging directly with butler s methods of questioning of the concept of gender, a new and more nuanced dialogue can be had about how theological ideas of gender are formed. The dialogue with butler focusses on three main themes: subjectivity as desire; violence; and discussions about life. Butler s gender theory is interpreted as challenging a christian conception of gender in which adam and eve are used as a perfect law to justify only some people as pertaining to  good and  normal standards of gender. 0367373475 9780367530730 0367530732agriculture and foodl��S�|ߘN�QN?eV{�lQqQ?eV{T�OY;NIN)Transforming Food And Agricultural Policy$Post-exceptionalism In Public Policy(Journal Of European Public Policy Series/Edited By Carsten Daugbjerg And Peter H. FeindtWestern democratic welfare states often featured sectoral governance arrangements where governments negotiated policy with sectoral elites, based on shared ideas and exclusive institutional arrangements. Food and agriculture policy is widely considered an extreme case of compartmentalized and  exceptionalist policy-making, where sector-specific policy ideas and institutions provide privileged access for sectoral interest groups and generate policies that benefit their members. In the last two decades, policy exceptionalism has been under pressure from internationalization of policy-making, increasing interlinkage of policy areas and trends towards self-regulation, liberalization and performance-based policies. This book introduces the concept of  post-exceptionalism to characterize an incomplete transformation of exceptionalist policies and politics which preserves significant excepti< onalist features. Post-exceptional constellations of ideas, institutions, interests and policies can be complementary and stable, or tense and unstable. 9780815360360 0367258625 9781838690762 183869076Xa'Y)Rg}Y�v�e��ceek1e*NypItaly's Best Day Walks 1e* NypLpp-eur 0367516055 0367256959 9781838690779 1838690778�e,gg}Y�v�e��ceek1e*NypJapan's Best Day Walks 1e* NypLpp-asi 9780367202323 0367202328japanese studies T�T�V�vё��6R����e,gƉ҉"United Nations Financial SanctionsA Japanese PerspectiveARoutledge Advances In International Relations And Global PoliticsEdited By Sachiko Yoshimura�This book presents a japanese perspective on the invocation, implementation and application of un-approved financial sanctions.As the third largest economy in the world, with very limited armed forces and a pacifist constitution, japan plays a vital role in the formulation and deployment of financial sanctions.

The contributions explore how these cities developed landscapes full of civic memory and ritual, saw commercial priorities transforming the urban environment, and began to expand significantly beyond their wall circuits. These inter-related developments not only changed how cities looked and could be experienced, they also affected the functioning of the urban community, and together contributed to keeping increasingly complex urban communities socially cohesive.

This volume comprises thirteen essays at the cutting edge of thinking about sculpture in philosophical terms, representing approaches to sculpture from the perspectives of both anglo-american and european philosophy. Some of the essays are historically situated, while others are more straightforwardly conceptual. All of the essays, however, pay strict attention to actual sculptural examples in their discussions. This reflects the overall aim of the volume to not merely "apply" philosophy to sculpture, but rather to test the philosophical approaches taken in tandem with deep analyses of sculptural examples.There is an array of philosophical problems unique to sculpture, namely certain aspects of its three-dimensionality, physicality, temporality, and morality. 9780367408688 0367408686philosophy of art & aesthetics�N�N-RpeN�N�R-�H��~`N�vsQ�|�[���S_�Nz�/gh�o�v�e�i�_pPractices Of Relations In Event-score And Task-dance Practices: A New Concept Of Performance In Contemporary ArtJosefine Wikstr�m1In this study, josefine wikstr�m challenges a concept of performance that makes no difference between art and non-art and argues for a new concept.This book confronts and criticises the way in which the dominating concept of performance has been used in art theory, performance- and dance studies.

In a post-deinstitutionalisation era, diverting disabled people from criminal justice systems and into mental health and disability services is considered therapeutic, humane and socially just. Yet, by drawing on foucauldian theory of biopolitics, critical legal and political theory and critical disability theory, steele argues that court diversion continues disability oppression. It can facilitate criminalisation, control and punishment of disabled people who are not sentenced and might not even be convicted of any criminal offences. On a broader level, court diversion contributes to the longstanding phenomenon of disability-specific coercive intervention, legitimates prison incarceration and shores up the boundaries of foundational legal concepts at the core of jurisdiction, legal personhood and sovereignty. 9780806164984 08061649801830-1880t^̑eYFinancial Accounting 11th Edition Print And Interactive E-text John Hoggett 9780299325602 0299325601�bisac category: business & economics | real estate | general / history | latin america | south america / political science | human rights / social science | gender studies���NIcxd�vckIN��YsY0W0WCg)R�T�T&O�k�NT�Ts^�vǏ!nGElusive Justice: Women, Land Rights, And Colombia's Transition To PeaceDonny Meertens�Fifty years of violence perpetrated by guerrillas, paramilitaries, and official armed forces in colombia displaced more than six million people.

Harvey rachlin investigates how music entered american homes and established a cultural institution that would expand throughout the decades to become a multibillion dollar industry, weaving a history of the evolution of pop music in tandem with the music business. Exploding in the 1950s and  60s with pop stars like elvis and the beatles, the music industry used new technologies like television to promote live shows and record releases. More recently, the development of online streaming services has forced the music industry to cultivate new promotion, distribution, copyright, and profit strategies. 9781487506391 1487506392�political science \ canadian politics/ sociology \ labour/ political science \ canadian politics \ public policy & administration)\gb�l�]ݍ:9e�U�[�N�N N3z�[�]\O�v�N�v1\Nh�Q�O�bClosing The Enforcement GapHImproving Employment Standards Protections For People In Precarious JobsVosko, Leah Faith�The nature of employment is changing: low wage jobs are increasingly common, fewer workers belong to unions, and workplaces are being transformed through the growth of contracting-out, franchising, and extended supply chains. Closing the enforcement gap offers a comprehensive analysis of the enforcement of employment standards in ontario. Adopting mixed methods, this work includes qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with workers, community advocates, and enforcement officials; extensive archival research excavating decades of ministerial records; and analysis of a previously untapped source of administrative data collected by ontario s ministry of labour. The authors reveal and trace the roots of a deepening "enforcement gap" that pervades nearly all aspects of the regime, demonstrating that the province s employment standards act (esa) fails too many workers who rely on the floor of minimum conditions it was devised to provide. 9781487524319 9780268107055 026810705X~bisac category: medical | ethics / science | philosophy & social aspects / medical | embryology / health & fitness | sexuality�_ �~��yf[JTɋb�N�N{|ڀ΀�v,g(�Untangling Twinning7What Science Tells Us About The Nature Of Human EmbryosMaureen L. Condic�Scientists and philosophers have long struggled to answer the questions of when human life begins and when human life has inherent value. The phenomenon of identical (monozygotic) twinning presents a significant challenge to the view that human life and human personhood begin at conception. The fact that a single embryo can split to generate two (or more) genetically identical embryos seems to defy the notion that prior to splitting an embryo can be a single human individual. In untangling twinning, maureen condic looks at the questions raised by human twinning based on a unique synthesis of molecular developmental biology and aristotelian philosophy. 9780367536022 0367536021ꁫ�MQ�uAutoimmunities2Edited By Stefan Herbrechter And Michelle Jamieson�Autoimmunity refers to the phenomenon whereby an organism or body mounts an immune response against its own tissues. As a medical term, autoimmunity is today used to account for any instance in which the body fails to recognise its own constituents as  self , an error that results in the paradoxical situation in which self-defense (immunity, protection) manifests as self-harm (pathology). As a result, the very possibility of autoimmunity poses a problem for the notion of immunity and the concept of identity that underpins it: if self-protection can just as readily take the form of self-destruction, then it seems that the very identity of the self, and thus the boundary between self and other, is in question. Conceptually, autoimmunity thus challenges us to think critically about the nature of any sovereign entity or identity, be they human or nonhuman, cells, nations, or other forms of community. 0367862190 9780367531676 0367531674russian & soviet politics�kl0�VM|0�s�N'`�ςT��~�l N�v�lW�vwm�eST�kl‰#Coloniality, Nationality, Modernity8A Postcolonial View On Baltic Cultures Under Soviet RuleEdited By Epp Annus{Soviet postcolonial studies is an emerging field of critical inquiry, with its locus of interest in colonial aspects of the soviet experience in the ussr and beyond.

Focusing on north american and european case studies ranging from populist tax revolts through parenting advice manuals to online learning environments, the contributors propose new methods for understanding how political entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens deploy and re-define ideologies. All of these groups are consumers of ideology, drawing on pre-existing, trans-national ideological concepts and narratives in order to make sense of the world. They are also all producers of ideology, adapting and reconfiguring ideological material to support their own political aims, objectives and desires. In doing so, they combine common conceptual elements  interpretations of freedom, order, national identity, democracy, community, or equality  with sentiments and imaginations deeply embedded in cultural and social practice. 9780367496067 0367404354 9780367819071 0367819074-N�V T'`K`�T>yO;NIN�e�N�v7usY T'`K`�ef[NƉɉ�eS Queer ChinaALesbian And Gay Literature And Visual Culture Under Postsocialism%Literary Cultures Of The Global South Hongwei BaoThis book analyses queer cultural production in contemporary china to map the broad social transformations in gender, sexuality and desire.

In this volume, scholars across the humanities and social sciences each bring their own disciplinary perspectives to bear on this subject. A uniquely wide range of communities are addressed including, eighteenth-century pre-christian tonga, modern us and uk pentecostal churches, muslim communities in london, chinese rural villages, middle-class indian communities, and thai spirit cults.

Today he is widely recognized as a founder and shaper of twentieth-century native american literature. Twenty thousand mornings is mathews's intimate chronicle of his formative years. Written in 1965-67 but only recently discovered, this work captures osage life in pre-statehood oklahoma and recounts many remarkable events in early-twentieth-century history. Born in pawhuska, osage nation, mathews was the only surviving son of a mixed-blood osage father and a french-american mother. Within these pages he lovingly depicts his close relationships with family members and friends. Yet always drawn to solitude and the natural world, he wanders the osage hills in search of tranquil swimming holes - and new adventures. Overturning misguided critical attempts to confine mathews to either indian or white identity, twenty thousand mornings shows him as a young man of his time. 9780299317249 0299317242�literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: general//politics & government|political control & freedoms|human rights//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas< lQl g�N�ꁮv��Ryr�Negzf)R�v T �N��nCivil Obedience2Complicity And Complacency In Chile Since PinochetMichael Lazzara�Boldly breaks new ground in studies of latin american postdictatorial memories by tackling a taboo topic-civilian complicity with the pinochet regime-that chilean society has strategically avoided. 9781642011326 1642011320 �b4x�N� ^\�vb�R'Y^Napoleon Hill's Success Masters Napoleon HillIps-entrepreneur Press 2020-02-11 ONxvzNONؚB\ 9780262044066 0262044064 4Y��aƋ ���Km�T'Y�The Mind(Consciousness, Prediction, And The Brain Goldstein�A short, reader-friendly introduction to the human mind from the perspective of cognitive psychology.

In an era of cold-blooded neo-liberalism, relationality, attentiveness, compassion, solidar< ity and care are even more relevant traits to sustain a life worth living ‒ not only for the precarious ones among us but for all of us. To this end the ethics of care as a political ethical theory is the most prominent champion of the relevance of care and caring on all different levels of the research-policy-practice continuum and across all domains of our lived realities. Drawing on feminism as a critique on neo-kantian ethics, the ethics of care developed into an acknowledged sub-field since the early 1980s.

In this respect, anatolia, mesopotamia and the near east were particularly significant in rome s defensive policy. Numerous military camps were situated in this region, from which the romans undertook military expeditions against their eastern neighbour. The outcomes of the long-term presence of a large number of roman army units there included settlement of veterans in both the colonies and the cities of the region. The volume contains a selection of studies by edward dbrowa published over several decades concerning certain aspects of the presence of the roman army in the east.

Kemp�When commercial parties conclude a contract for the sale of goods, their main objective is to exchange the subject goods for the agreed purchase price. The civil law and common law traditions have adopted the notion that these contractual promises are binding and each has put in place specific instruments to protect the interests of both parties. However, while the civil law tradition protects the interest in actual performance of the assumed obligations with a right to enforced performance, the common law tradition perceives the availability of enforced performance as a rarity. This book explores the dutch, singapore and chinese viewpoints on this issue by analysing the extent to which respective contract law principles balance out the interests of parties to a commercial sales contract in their principles surrounding the enforceability of performance obligations, and also how domestic solutions correlate to the approaches taken by global and regional sales and contract law instruments. 1509538607 9783447112673 3447112670�kerala/language/ south asian studies/ anthropology/ indian ocean studies/ dravidian languages and literature/ linguistics/ philology�[l��bŖ�b�Y�ꁫ�/g틄v��f[xvz>A Linguistic Survey Of The Malayalam Language In Its Own TermsGamliel, Ophira;The book is written for researchers interested in the study of kerala s language, literature, history, and culture.

But polite discord sounds farfetched when issues are so personal and fundamental that those on opposing sides appear to have no common ground. How do you debate the "enemy"? philosophers scott aikin and robert talisse show that disagreeing civilly, even with your sworn enemies, is a crucial part of democracy. Rejecting the popular view that civility requires a polite and concessive attitude, they argue that our biggest challenge is not remaining calm in the face of an opponent, but rather ensuring that our political arguments actually address those on the opposing side. Too often politicians and pundits merely simulate political debate, offering carefully structured caricatures of their opponents. These simulations mimic politi< cal argument in a way designed to convince citizens that those with whom they disagree are not worth talking to. Good democracy thrives off conflict, but until we learn the difference between real and simulated arguments we will be doomed to speak at cross-purposes. 9781509536535 9783838213507 3838213505 phi002000׋a�vHQ��� gaIN�v�[�[-N�v�Tf[�`a�FThe Poetic Apriori: Philosophical Imagination In A Meaningful Universe Studies In Historical PhilosophyBarfield, Raymond C.�Theories about the nature and function of philosophical imagination depend on our understanding of what kind of universe we inhabit. Some theories are compelling if the universe is meaningful as a whole, but they make no sense if it is not. Raymond c. Barfield discusses conditions that would be necessary if the universe is meaningful as a whole, and then develops a theory of philosophical imagination in light of that starting place. The theory moves toward the conclusion that if the universe is meaningful as a whole, the concept of the analogia entis, the analogy of being, illuminates philosophical imagination in a way that changes our understanding of its function and potential, along with the value of its discoveries through the things it creates. 9780996729307 0996729305�cۏR�e��o�S0�[�sv^a�ϑR�e�Nphilosophy & psychology / scholastic philosophy (c. 1200/1500)���T;����vw��n�T,g(��-NN�~ O�epQ ��r*Y�T�WcwYe`�`�vƉ҉+The Origin And Nature Of Language And Logic?Perspectives In Medieval Islamic, Jewish, And Christian Thought#Rencontres De Philosophie M�di�vale Nadja Germann�The annual colloquium of the siepm in freiburg, germany, was groundbreaking in that it featured a more or less equal number of talks on all three medieval cultures that contributed to the formation of western philosophical thought, the islamic, jewish, and christian traditions. Indeed, the subject of the colloquium,  the origin and nature of language and logic in medieval islamic, jewish, and christian thought , lent itself to such a cross-cultural approach. In all these traditions, partially inspired by ancient greek philosophy, partially by other sources, language and thought, semantics and logic occupied a central place. As a result, the chapters of the present volume effortlessly traverse philosophical, religious, cultural, and linguistic boundaries and thus in many respects open up new perspectives. It should not be surprising if readers delight in chapters of a philosophical tradition outside of their own as much as they do in those in their area of expertise. 9781527545373 1527545377���S_N�SSxvz��W�N틙e�^�v����l�T͋Glxvz_Studies In Linguistic Variation And Change 3: Corpus-based Research In English Syntax And LexisFabienne Toupin�This volume brings together contributions tracing the complex paths of change taken by the english language in its long history, from its beginnings in old english to the present day.

Are the rules of private law suitable to contribute to sustainable solutions? the authors in this book explore aspects of property law, tort law, and contract law. They investigate whether the current rules of private law provide sufficient incentives and possibilities for sustainable action, or whether these rules require reform.This research is part of a joint research project of the maastricht european private law institute (m-epli), in which researchers from various fields work together on large societal issues.

Firstly, the common opinion that they form a sub-unit of their own within the structure of the first ‘book’ of the psalter (psalms 3–41) is verified on the basis of their concatenation and pragmatics. The deepened insight leads to the conclusion that the bundle consists of two clusters, psalms 35–37 and psalms 38–41, each of which deals with the question of how to understand god’s tolerance towards the wicked, and how readers, following in the psalmist’s footsteps, might live on with that knowledge. The two clusters also provide evidence of an advancing argument in two parallel moves that are covered by the book’s main title: ‘from servant of yhwh to being considerate of the wretched’. 9789462361195 9462361193�cؚS��_���x��[w�pQ�SidXbf�.^>m�vZP�l�v�[��xvzRaising Moral BarriersCAn Empirical Study On The Dutch Approach To Outlaw Motorcycle GangsTeun Van RuitenburgHThis book is about the concerns and unremitting attempts of dutch state authorities to control and raise barriers against outlaw motorcycle gangs. It discusses how dutch mayors go to great lengths to prevent the settlement of outlaw motorcycle gangs in clubhouses and bars; how state authorities look for ways to divert members away from civil service and private security companies; how the dutch national police attempts to frustrate the internal cohesiveness of outlaw motorcycle gangs through criminal investigations; and why the dutch courts recently banned a number of clubs at the request of the public prosecution service. In the attempt to describe, understand and explain this approach, this empirical study builds on the work of several scholars who all in their own way characterized contemporary society by the efforts to prevent crime in the earliest stages possible, which attempts are inherently coupled with a focus on the ‘future’, ‘threats’, ‘dangers’, ‘indicators’, ‘barriers’ and ‘risks’. 9781527545328 1527545326 �K`�T'`:�b �b�vR$O0Narcissism And Sexuality: A Self Inflicted Wound Ken SilvestroSEveryone, by virtue of possessing a psychology and being a child, embodies narcissistic tendencies. Not everyone, however, is narcissistically wounded. A narcissistic wound can manifest in many expressions, from personality dysfunctions to rage. This book differentiates between a severe narcissistic disorder and a narcissistic wound, focusing on one common expression��  sexuality.Narcissistic sexual expressions are portrayed in sexual experiences, myths, fairy tales, legends and the practicalities of personal relationships, which serve to amplify the theory and experiential descriptions. The psychological foundation throughout the book, analytic psychology, was developed by carl jung. The images presented assist the reader in forming a deeper understanding of the theme. The primary psychological concepts presented include self, false-self, narcissistic wound, origin of the wound, inability to relate to another person, sexual interludes to satisfy the narcissistic wound, anima (a psychological source similar to the chinese construct of yin) and eros (a psychological function of relationship). 9782503589039 2503589030religion & theology t���T�[����/f�Sa�v:Th�ories Et Pratiques De La Pri�re � La Fin De L antiquit�?Biblioth�que De L'ecole Des Hautes Etudes, Sciences Religieuses�La pri�re est, � la fin de l antiquit�, non seulement un �l�ment essentiel de la pratique religieuse, publique et priv�e, mais aussi un objet �minent de r�flexion philosophique et th�ologique, aussi bien au sein de la religion gr�co-romaine que dans le christianisme.

Based on multinational archival research, the book highlights how the idea of economic planning became part of a wider effort to address an ideological crisis within the socialist movement and revitalise the latter amidst the great depression. A heavily controversial figure also because of his subsequent involvement in belgian wartime collaboration, de man played a pivotal role in challenging traditional marxist assumptions about the role of the state under capitalism and in promoting transnational exchanges between unorthodox social democrats across europe. Starting from de man s experience in world war i, the book analyses his departure from marxism, his elaboration of an alternative social democratic paradigm, his entry in belgian politics as well as the reception of his thought in france and britain. 9783030423421 3030423425sociology of sport and leisureR�^�~N�v��t'k2m�'k2m��T��vb_b�1949-1961 �$Creating A United Europe Of Football!The Formation Of Uefa (1949 1961)'Football Research In An Enlarged EuropePhilippe Vonnard\This book provides a historical study of the beginnings of the uefa, demonstrating how the formation of the organisation was linked to the decentralisation experienced by fifa, the world governing body of football.

This renewed interest goes hand-in-hand with an increased demand for critical editions of the texts in question. However, the genre of the commentary presents a number of specific challenges to the editor, challenges related to the textual dynamic, the presentation on the page, and the intertwined transmission history of the commentary and the authoritative text that forms its subject. This volume brings together twelve case studies on texts written in greek and latin, which range from antiquity to the late middle ages. Touching upon a variety of fields, including literature, theology, philosophy, medicine, and law, these case studies offer an interdisciplinary perspective on commentaries on authoritative texts and the editors challenging work to accurately reconstruct and present them. 9789490947231 9490947237l�|;NINNl;NPopulism And Democracy Sascha HardtVAre liberal democracies in decline? if they are, what role does populism play in this? what can and should democracies do to defend their core features against ‘democratic decay’? and which features can be considered essential? these are difficult questions further complicated by the realisation that their answers depend on perspective.

Traditional approaches have defined rural communities as passive bodies, poor and unstable in the framework of a self-sufficient economy. In the last few decades, social approaches both in medieval history and archaeology have neglected the opportunity to re-evaluate the role of peasantry and other subaltern groups, even where new written and material evidence has challenged traditional assumptions. Conversely, scholars focussing on elites and aristocracies have promoted powerful research agenda. As a consequence of the 2007-2008 recession, the social sciences began to be interested in social and economic inequality, opening up new avenues for a reassessment of social history. The early medieval period has been identified by numerous scholars as a key arena for the analysis of political complexity and social inequality in long-term perspective. 9789042940536 9042940530�[o`�e�vb_b��[o`�e�}T�v#W�~�Q(W�ʑSabbath In The MakingGA Study Of The Inner-biblical Interpretation Of The Sabbath Commandment Luk�cs O.�The ancient institution of the sabbath which has persisted throughout the centuries and to this very day defines the identity, religious and cultural practices of the jewish community. This study aims to offer a more accurate description of the literary and redaction history of the sabbath commandments in the bible from the perspective of the inner-biblical interpretation, and to understand the theological and intellectual endeavour of scribes, who were responsible for the different redactional layers. Hence, the sabbath commandments are presented against the time span of ‘exile and return’ spread over the neo-babylonian and persian periods. In the final part, the sabbath is discussed as identity marker: how did it function as identity marker, self-understanding and self-definition of the exiled judean group? what was the role of the sabbath day in the identity building strategies of the biblical authors in general? how is this perception reflected by the sabbath commandments? 9783447113854 3447113855`epigrafik/ indische pal�ographie/ buddhismuskunde/ religionswissenschaft/ kodikologie/ indologie/[OYepS�^�eW[,g�T�~�e�sQ�N(�s|TX�N�N�SvQsO���v@b��vBhaikcuk+bSaindhav+�eW[(The Buddhist Indus Script And ScripturesPOn The So-called Bhaikcuk+ Or Saindhav+ Script Of The SCmit+yas And Their Canon�Akademie Der Wissenschaften Und Der Literatur, Mainz.

With the help of some tibetan sources it is actually possible not only to establish its original name, i.E.  saindhav+ , but also to prove a direct connection between this script and the saindhava monks or the sCmit+yas. Despite the importance of this buddhist school, until rece< ntly its original canonical literature was considered to have been lost. Dragomir dimitrov presents now information about the unexpected discovery of several indian manuscripts written in saindhav+ script and offers a new analysis of the old bengali codex unicus of the so-called patna dharmapada, which should rather be known now as the saindhav+ dharmapada. 9781527545267 1527545261�ы�NASNN�~�l�VsY'`�Q\O-N�v`�`�ITranslating Mind Matters In Twenty-first-century French Women�� "!s WritingClaire Ellender9Attitudes towards, and strategies for treating, those who suffer from abnormal mental states have evolved considerably over the centuries, and these are reflected in the various literary genres of all eras.

Proceedings Of The Conference Held In Rome, Sapienza University June 4th, 2018jThe archaeology of senses and the archaeology of emotions are two most interesting recent trends in the modern studies about the past, aiming at enlightening the human experience of the archaeological remains and artefacts, which are usually studied per se or in their (inter)connections. Scholars of the ancient near east from different disciplines  archaeology, history and philology  try to understand how people were presumed to react, or how they reacted in reality, using spaces, and looking at or using artefacts. The volume presents the proceedings of a congress focusing mainly on the use of the five traditional senses, and trying to analyze how each of them might have played a role in specific ancient contexts: the use of sight was common in the rituals of kingship at ebla and in the choice of specific places for settlements in the southern levant. The use of hearing was an important aspect in the rites taking place in one of the main 3rd millennium bc temples of ebla or in the open air sanctuaries of anatolia, whereas specific words for the definition of sounds are detectable in sumerian and akkadian texts. 9789042941069 9042941065 rel067000 �S�s�[(u^yf[:�c"}LuP�4Discovering Practical Theology: Exploring Boundaries)Louvain Theological & Pastoral MonographsDillen A.,g�rtner S.YReligion takes different shapes in late-modern society. Pastoral care, church and religion are also in transition. Practical theology explores these new challenges. This book introduces the readers to the field of this discipline in dialogue with the metaphor of ‘boundaries’. Theoretical insights in practical theology and its methodology are combined with discussions about specific topics and case studies from the field of pastoral and spiritual care, with special attention for catholic contexts. Practical theologians are presented as cross-border workers, whose work is to reflect on ambiguous places and borderlands ‘in between’ positions, disciplines, and fixed identities. Specific attention goes to questions on hope and power< in relation to pastoral care, on chaplaincy in prisons and hospitals, on children and theology. 9783447113700 3447113707ytungusic/ language contact/ linguistics/ turkish/ turkic linguistics/ transeurasian languages/ typology/ korean/ japanese�'k�N��|�SvQ�N��-N Nfnx�v�R͋z��^>Ambiguous Verb Sequences In Transeurasian Languages And BeyondTurcologica (120) Eva A Csato>Ambiguous verb sequences in transeurasian languages and beyond 9781527545557 1527545555�Q�N���[Fh�g$The Framework Of Military Leadership Murat Seng�z�This book provides an eclectic and meta-analytic study on the factors affecting military leadership and its components, taking into account both current and future security paradigms.

The first duty of armies today is generally the establishment of security. Today�� "!s battles are carried out in a vague and flexible warfare environment, which can be transformed rapidly. For this reason, military leaders need to be more versatile, with rapid decision-making capacities. In order to realize their duties, they have to focus more on the quality of their military leadership, which is critical to the establishment of secure and peaceful environments. Today, high-level army commanders have to behave more like diplomats, intellectuals and academics than ever before. 9781527545311 1527545318 �PN�N�N,gSO�TaƋb_`KN��#Music Between Ontology And IdeologyMilena Bozhikova�This book focuses on two main topics related to the essence of music, the first of which problematizes the ontological unity of music, philosophy and mathematics.

The siri oral narrative (p dana, an indigenous genre of the dravidian tu7u language) relates the story of an extraordinary tu7uva woman called siri and her female descendants. Siri is a role-model for many local women, especially for those singing her story and performing as her mediums in the ritual context of the deified family s annual festivals. Combining and analyzing textual and ethnographic material, the connection between oral narratives and personal, social and cultural identity is explored in depth for the first time: selected siri texts are studied in regard to their representation of gender roles, caste-specific perspectives and the world view and ethos pertaining to tu7u culture. 9789042941441 9042941448 rel062000^:S/�_up��eg�s�N^y�y;NIN ��bN?e�lDown Town / Down Soul0Early Modern Mysticism, The Self & The Political#Studies In Spirituality Supplements I. BockenWIt is just as possible to live deep down in the innermost of the soul in the heart of ‘down town’ as it is in the quiet of a monastery cell. ‘town’ and ‘soul’ are not in contradiction to each other. The mystics who agree on this are not the minor ones. And yet, as we read in the works of the same mystics, ‘town’ and ‘soul’ – the inner path and social engagement – do not go together easily. Of course, the mystic embraces the commandment of neighbourly love, but is his charity not merely an ‘instrument’ helping him – and only him – to come in closer contact with god? this and similar questions are central to 'down town / down soul'. Part one (‘mysticism’) presents studies on the typically ‘mystical’ character of the inner life. 2019-11-21 9781789974782 178997478X#peW[�[o�v5uq_;N��:�SS-N�v�SOOl�T�o'Y)R�N�~U_Gr �1901-2017'Celluloid Subjects To Digital DirectorsCChanging Aboriginalities And Australian Documentary Film, 1901 2017Documentary Film CulturesDebenham, Jennifer 9783034319713 3034319711�X�N?aof�Z\�XS_�N��׋�N���Voices And Visions@Interviews With The Contemporary English-language Poets Of Wales Modern Poetry Gray, Kathryn�Voices and visions: interviews with the contemporary english-language poets of wales captures the perspectives of key anglophone welsh and wales-associated poets who have emerged in the wake of devolution and wales s 1997 �yes� vote  or whose career profiles and development were consolidated in its wake. The post-1997 era has been a dynamic one  notably characterised by a striking gender shift, in which women are now at the very centre of anglophone welsh poetics. It has also been a period in which a number of idiosyncratic younger voices have emerged and established themselves both within wales and further afield. Compelling and candid, these interviews examine poets practice and preoccupations, their native and elective poetic identities, their personal insights into a changing wales, the prevailing conditions which may have enabled them, and their place within the wider firmament of british poetics. 9781527545656 1527545652\O:N Y �vz�/g:N�{z�/g^yf[���e+Art As "night": An Art-theological Treatise Gavin Keeney2Art as �� Snight�� � proposes a type of a-historical dark knowledge (a-theology and theology, at once) crossing painting since vel��zquez, but reaching back to the renaissance, especially titian and caravaggio.

Whereas some member states see no problem in allowing trials without the accused, other member states have serious objections to it. These different standards create many problems in practice and necessitate the executing judicial authority to request supplementary information from the issuing judicial authority, leading to delays and extra costs. It may result in – sometimes unjustified – refusals to execute the eaw. This study identifies the problems concerning the application of article 4a(1) framework decision 2002/584 on in absentia judgments and proposes both practical and legislative solutions. 9789462369764 9462369763yrgnf���[ N�v��V;`�~�Ng:4Y$Nt^#The American Presidency Under TrumpThe First Two YearsGiuseppe Franco Ferrari8Trump constitutes a clear break with past presidencies. Gallons of ink have been spilled on trump’s controversial use of social networks, paying close attention to his statements on both domestic and foreign policy. Yet, less attention has been devoted to the impact the trump administration had on constitutional and administrative law doctrines, and to the most recent trends in the u.S. Government policymaking under trump. The present work fills the gap by providing a non­partisan and comprehensive analysis of trump’s first two years in office.The book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the most recent trends in the u.S. government, by covering topics as varied as the relationship between the presidency and congress, states, federal agencies, the supreme court. 9789462369801 9462369801D912>yO�O��-N�vCg�R N>eNRCg�'k2m�k��Ɖ҉2Devolution And Decentralisation In Social Security"A European Comparative PerspectiveNilg - Governance & Recht Gijsbert VonkwIn many countries regional and local authorities are given more powers in the field of social security. Supposedly, this is a general trend taking place throughout the developed world and beyond. In this vol< ume the processes of devolution and decentralisation in social security are researched from a comparative european perspective, taking into account the constitutional setting and the architecture of the social security systems. The book includes thirteen country studies based on a uniform format and three overarching contributions.The greater picture that emerges is that social insurance and family allowances are still very much a national competence and are predominantly functionally decentralised to a number of specialised agencies and institutions. There are only limited exceptions. A different conclusion must be drawn when we look at social assistance and social care. 9780881467116 0881467111xreligious studies|religion: general|philosophy of religion//literature & literary studies|prose: non/fiction//philosophy�6q ��l�_N^y#W��~�_WZ /O?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqs����tuvwxyz{|}~�ntageThe Fourth Dimension;Kobe University Monograph Series In Social Science Research3Sugata Marjit; Biswajit Mandal; Noritsugu Nakanishi207oThe main purpose of this book is to expose economics graduate students and researchers to the most significant development in international trade that has taken place in the recent past. Service transactions now make up a sizeable portion of global trade. Trade in both final and intermediate inputs is done virtually through information and communication networks, raising afresh the question of the basis of trade and calling for in-depth investigation. This book succinctly comes up with a relatively new explanation for the basis of trade, thus it adds a new dimension to three existing building blocks: technology, endowment, and returns to scale. Against a backdrop of standard ricardian and heckscher ohlin competitive models of trade, the chapters of this book nicely introduce the issue of communication cost and the difference in time zones between two trading nations. 9781789970487 1789970482 ׋2000-2005Poems 2000-2005781 Maxton, Hugh 9783030402730 3030402738,{�V!k�]Ni�}T�[�] zYe���vq_�T ,{1wS / O��U_DThe Impact Of The 4th Industrial Revolution On Engineering Education11340Michael E.

Together with his political and common-law marriage partner, ruth fischer, maslow briefly led the communist party of germany, the kpd, and brought about its submission to moscow. Afterwards fischer and maslow were removed from the kpd leadership in the fall of 1925 and expelled from the party a year later. Henceforth they both lived as communist outsiders persecuted by both hitler and stalin. Maslow escaped to cuba via france and portugal and was murdered under dubious circumstances in havana in november 1941. He died as a communist dissident committed to the cause of a radical-socialist labor movement that lay in ruins. Kessler considers maslow's role in pivotal events such as the bolshevik revolution, in sovietrevolutionary parties and organizations, through to the rise of stalinism and cold war anti-communism. 9789211014150 9211014158�bisac category: business & economics | economics | general / political science | international relations | diplomacy / reference | yearbooks & annuals / reference | bibliographies & indexes2018t^�~Nm�S>yOt�NO���NU_<Index To Proceedings Of The Economic And Social Council 2018�The index to proceedings of the economic and social council is a bibliographic guide to the proceedings and documentation of the economic and social council.

It argues that except for iran, no regional or extra-regional actors, including the united states, china, india and russia, have developed a strategy for persian gulf security, and only turkey has expressed a willingness to provide security for the region. Importantly, the major threats to persian gulf security are nonconventional, rather than external, threats to iranian hegemony or the balance of power. In conclusion, it predicts that the power struggle in the persian gulf in the coming decades will be between iran and turkey, and not between iran and saudi arabia.

Focusing on boasians ashley montagu, margaret mead, melville herskovits, and ruth benedict, anthony hazard highlights the extent to which the boasians offer historicized explanations of racism that move beyond a quest to reshape only the discipline: boasian war work pointed to the histories of chattel slavery and colonialism to theorize not just race, but the emergence of racism as both systemic and interpersonal. The realities of race that continue to plague the united states have direct ties to the anthropological work of the figures examined here, particularly within the context of the 20th-century black freedom struggle. 9783030423889 3030423883�N'Yf[:N�W@x�vؚI{Ye���SvQyr�_��S�S0Ye��f[N���vh1College Based Higher Education And Its Identities/History, Pedagogy And Purpose Within The SectorKarima Kadi-hanifi; John Keenan�This book explores the history, purpose and understandings of college based higher education.

They propose instead a return to a mythical golden age, supposed< ly marked by purity and simplicity. Second, they both work in the same way psychologically.

However, there is a lack of books on teaching the subject despite the significant growth of interest in both academia and the workplace. This book addresses this gap by outlining foundational principles for the teaching of design and innovation and by offering a practical process for implementing the pedagogy in academic institutions and outside academia in the context of continuing professional development (cpd).

Drawing on specialists from across the world, the volume analyses the period s fiction, poetry, drama and autobiographical writings in three sections: dominant concerns (socialism, decolonisation, nuclearism, propaganda, censorship, espionage), common genres (postmodernism, socialism realism, dystopianism, migrant poetry, science fiction, testimonial writing) and regional cultures (asia, africa, oceania, europe and the americas). In doing so, the volume forms a landmark contribution to cold war literary studies which will appeal to all those working on literature of the 1945-1989 period, including specialists in comparative literature, postcolonial literature, contemporary literature and regional literature. 9783030415747 3030415740S_�N�lpQ�e�VM|\pel�e�SO�v���N�� TV{euNIdentity Strategies Of Stateless Ethnic Minority Groups In Contemporary Poland#Migration, Minorities And ModernityEwa Michna; Katarzyna WarmiDska�This book provides a unique description of the identity strategies of stateless ethnic minorities in poland.

Organised cultural encounters is an umbrella concept referring to face-to-face encounters that are organised across a w< ide variety of social arenas in order to manage and/or transform problems perceived to stem from cultural difference.The authors base their focus on empirical contexts either located in denmark or related to a danish organisation, investigating interfaith work, training sessions in diversity management, volunteer tourism, a youth diversity project called the cultural encounters ambassadors, and a community dance project. Through different theoretical approaches, and careful analyses of the micro-level practices occurring within the time-space of specific encounters, galal andhveneg�rd-lassendemonstrate how both the interactions and their outcomes are considerably more complex  and contradictory  than evaluative and instrumental accounts of success or failure may capture. 9783030444242 3030444244international political economy-NpSsQ�|�0W?e�l�z�N0�~NmT\O0�eS�NAmN�~8�sQ�|China-india RelationsTGeo-political Competition, Economic Cooperation, Cultural Exchange And Business TiesUnderstanding ChinaYoung-chan Kim�This book examines india-china relations throughout history as well as in the context of current business cooperation and competition.

Drawing upon perspectives from a range of disciplines, it considers how thatcherism manifests itself today and how we can assess its long-term impact. The book is divided into four sections, which offer different ways of conceptualising and addressing questions of legacy: the ideological impact of thatcherism on the conservative party and on the country; the long-term impact of thatcherism across different parts of the uk; how thatcherism has altered social attitudes to everything from welfare spending to europe; and how popular historical accounts of thatcherism have become embedded in different parts of contemporary british culture. The essays in this volume draw upon newly available archival materials, oral histories, social attitudes surveys and parliamentary debates to provide a well-rounded perspective on thatcherism today. 9783030429454 3030429458�eg�s�NsY'`�v�b(`�'`+R0b__N?e�lEarly Modern Women's ComplaintGender, Form, And Politics Sarah C. E. Ross; Rosalind Smith�This collection examines early modern women s contribution to the culturally central mode of complaint. Complaint has largely been understood as male-authored, yet, as this collection shows, early modern women used complaint across a surprising variety of forms from the early-tudor period to the late-seventeenth century. They were some of the mode s first writers, most influential patrons, and most innovative contributors. Together, these new essays illuminate early modern women s participation in one of the most powerful rhetorical modes in the english renaissance, one which gave voice to political, religious and erotic protest and loss across a diverse range of texts.This volume interrogates new texts (closet drama, song, manuscript-based religious and political lyrics), new authors (dorothy shirley, scots satirical writers, hester pulter, mary rowlandson), and new versions of complaint (biblical, satirical, legal, and vernacular). 9783030437435 3030437434 *N�N�TLr�{t�%���N�v�NyO���S�����0R�v�v�SvQaIN(The Social Licence For Financial Markets&Reaching For The End And Why It Counts David Rouch7This book is about what mark carney has called  the social licence for financial markets and how it can point us towards a more sustainable future. Author david rouch argues that what it reveals contrasts sharply with the usual portrayals of markets as places of unrestrained financial self-interest. Drawing attention to a more complex reality and the presence of justice-focused aspirations in finance can positively impact individual, institutional, and systemic behaviour: change, not imposed by regulators, but emerging from the very substance of market relationships.The finance sector should have a key role in addressing humanity s increasingly pressing sustainability challenges.

It aspires to use the breadth of science and technology studies to perform a critical diagnosis of our contemporary culture. Instead of constructing technology as society s  other , the book sets out to highlight the both complex and ambivalent entanglements of technologies, sciences and socialities. It provides some tentative steps towards a diagnosis of a society in which individuals and organizations address themselves, their pasts, presents, futures, hopes and problems in technoscientific modes. Technosciences redesign matter, life, self and society. However, they do not operate independently: technoscientific practices are deeply socially and culturally constituted. 9789811535987 9811535981electoral politics�[�l9ei�\O:N�o'Y)R�N?e�l�SO�ve�Qe�c�e�b�N����v����KConstitutional Reform As A Remedy For Political Disenchantment In AustraliaThe Discussion We Need Bede HarrisKThe central argument of this book explores the disillusionment that australians feel with regard to the way politics is conducted. The book explores causes of that disillusionment, and argues that because these are ultimately traceable to defects in the constitution, it is only through constitutional reform that government can be improved. This book argues that the current approach to constitutional debate suffers from the flaw of being anti-theoretical, in the sense that it is not grounded in any set of values, and is afflicted by a tendency to consider practical objections to reform before considering the moral case for it. This book argues that instead of accepting the constitution as it is, it is time we began to discuss how it ought to be, taking human dignity as the fundamental value upon which a constitution should be based. 9789811539626 9811539626 �W^�� TN�� T�W^)Identity Of Cities And City Of IdentitiesAli Cheshmehzangi�This book explores the hybridity of urban identities in multiple dimensions and at multiple scales, how they form as catalysts and mechanisms for urban transitions, and how they develop as city branding strategies and urban regeneration methods. Due to rapid globalisation, the notion of identity has become scarcer, more fragile, and inarguably more important. Given the significance of place and displacement for contemporary everyday life, and the continuous advancement of technologies, identifying relations and values that define humans and their environments in various ways has become crucial.Divided into seven chapters, this book provides extensive coverage of  urban identity , an often-overlooked topic in the fields of urbanism, urban geography, and urban design. It approaches the topic from a novel dual perspective, by exploring cities with tangible commonalities and shared strategies for refining their identities, and by highlighting cities and urban environments characterised by multiple identities. 9789811536229 9811536228 game theory�~Nmf[-N�vZS_N�R`��~�_~g,gRf�eƖGames And Dynamics In Economics!Essays In Honor Of Akio Matsumoto&Ferenc Szidarovszky; Gian Italo Bischi/This book focuses on the latest advances in nonlinear dynamic modeling in economics and finance, mainly but not solely based on the description of strategic interaction by using concepts and methods from dynamic and evolutionary game theory. The respective chapters cover a range of theoretical issues and examples concerning how the qualitative theory of dynamical systems is used to analyze the local and global bifurcations that characterize complex behaviors observed in social systems where heterogeneous and boundedly rational economic agents interact. Nonlinear dynamical systems, represented by difference and differential and functional equations, are extensively used to simulate the behavior of time-evolving economic systems, also in the presence of time lags, discontinuities, and hysteresis phenomena. 9780804012249 0804012245!bisac category: fiction | general�b4�Collages Ana�s NinOhio University Press 2019-10-02First published in 1964 and now reissued with a new introduction by anita jarczok, collages showcases nin s dreamlike and introspective style and psychological acuity.

Since the late 1980s, repatriation has been considered the most appropriate solution for refugees. This applies if the home country < is peaceful, but often repatriation takes places in conflict situations, which can lead to national and human insecurity problems. Rwanda is one of the countries where the question of repatriation has become highly controversial since the 1990s. The united nations maintains that rwanda has changed significantly since the 1994 genocide, and today enjoys an essential level of peace and security. This explains why the un has promoted repatriation and recommended the cessation of rwandan refugee status, yet the vast majority of refugees have refused to return to the country. 9789811541230 981154123Xteaching and teacher educationhQtS�e�N�v^�Ye���0W�eL��R�v�V�^%Teacher Education In Globalised TimesLocal Responses In Action-Jillian Fox; Colette Alexander; Tania Aspland�This book provides commentary on the influence of multi-layered political contexts that surround the work of teacher educators worldwide. It addresses the drawbacks of the massification, standards-based movements and marketisation of universal business that threaten authenticity, innovation and entrepreneurship within teacher education on a global scale. The chapters celebrate the richly described local stories that explore the often tacit political activity that underpins teacher educators work. The book highlights the commitment of both teachers and teacher educators to social justice, and human rights and critical consciousness as central to the process of teacher development. Teacher formation, teacher education policies and curriculum development in an era of globalisation, super-diversity and the positioning of indigenous populations, and national regulation and localisation are topics that are explored in this book. 9789811530630 9811530637�_�Q�)YfNKNYXu BingBeyond The Book From The SkyChinese Contemporary Art SeriesSarah E.

FinleylAlexandra finley adds crucial new dimensions to the boisterous debate over the relationship between slavery and capitalism by placing women's labor at the center of the antebellum slave trade, focusing particularly on slave traders' ability to profit from enslaved women's domestic, reproductive, and sexual labor. The slave market infiltrated every aspect of southern society, including the most personal spaces of the household, the body, and the self, finley shows how women's work was necessary to the functioning of the slave trade, and thus to the spread of slavery to the lower south, the expansion of cotton production, and the profits accompanying both of these markets. Through the personal histories of four enslaved women, finley explores the intangible costs of the slave market, moving beyond ledgers, bills of sales, and statements of profit and loss to consider the often incalculable but nevertheless invaluable place of women's emotional, sexual, and domestic labor in the economy. The details of these women's lives reveal the complex intersections of economy, race, and family at the heart of antebellum society. 9781469655116 9781469661476 1469661470�social studies|society & culture: general|social groups//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//law|jurisprudence & general issues|legal historys|Z�v���p:WSSb�NMRS�e�vtY��6R�T�>eHh�O< The Trouble With Minna:A Case Of Slavery And Emancipation In The Antebellum NorthHendrik HartogkIn this intriguing book, hendrik hartog uses a forgotten 1840 case to explore the regime of gradual emancipation that took place in new jersey over the first half of the nineteenth century. In minna's case, white people fought over who would pay for the costs of caring for a dependent, apparently enslaved, woman. Hartog marks how the peculiar language mobilized by the debate - about care as a "mere voluntary courtesy" - became routine in a wide range of subsequent cases about "good samaritans". Using minna's case as a springboard, hartog explores the statutes, situations, and conflicts that helped produce a regime where slavery was usually but not always legal and where a supposedly enslaved person may or may not have been legally free. In exploring this liminal and unsettled legal space, hartog sheds light on the relationships between moral and legal reasoning and a legal landscape that challenges simplistic notions of what it meant to live in freedom. What emerges is a provocative portrait of a distant legal order that, in its contradictions and moral dilemmas, bears an ironic resemblance to our own legal world. 9781469640884 9780887558719 0887558712�history & archaeology|history|history: specific events & topics//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|gender studies: women 0���L��R:�R�b'Y�萇YsYL��R;NIN�v�S�S 0Compelled To Act/Histories Of Women's Activism In Western CanadaSarah Carter; Nanci LangfordOCompelled to act showcases fresh historical perspectives on the diversity of women's contributions to social and political change in prairie canada in the 20th century, including but looking beyond the era of suffrage activism. In our current time of revitalized activism against racism, colonialism, violence, and misogyny, this volume reminds us of the myriad ways women have challenged and confronted injustices and inequalities. The women and their activities shared in compelled to act are diverse in time, place, and purpose, but there are some common threads. In their attempts to correct wrongs, achieve just solutions, and create change, women experienced multiple sites of resistance, both formal and informal. The acts of speaking out, of organizing, of picketing and protesting were characterized as unnatural for women, as violations of gender and societal norms, and as dangerous to the state and to family stability. As these accounts demonstrate, women felt compelled to respond to women's needs, to challenges to family security, both health and economic, and to the need for community. 9781469658995 1469658992�social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//history & archaeology|history|history: specific events & topics|social & cultural history�y�eN�1uLuP��v!j�|���V�kl�eg��V�v�m@�?QN�m@�&Blurring The Lines Of Race And Freedom6Mulattoes And Mixed Bloods In English Colonial AmericaEThe John Hope Franklin Series In African American History And CultureA. B. Wilkinson�The history of race in north america is still often conceived of in black and white terms. In this book, a. B. Wilkinson complicates that history by investigating how people of mixed african, european, and native american heritage - commonly referred to as ""mulattoes,"" ""mustees,"" and ""mixed bloods"" - were integral to the construction of colonial racial ideologies. Thousands of mixed-heritage people appear in the records of english colonies, largely in the chesapeake, carolinas, and caribbean, and this book provides a clear and compelling picture of their lives before the advent of the so-called one-drop rule. Wilkinson explores the ways mixed-heritage people viewed themselves and explains how they - along with their african and indigenous american forebears - resisted the formation of a rigid racial order and fought for freedom in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century societies shaped by colonial labor and legal systems. As contemporary u.S. Society continues to grapple with institutional racism rooted in a settler colonial past, this book illuminates the earliest ideas of racial mixture in british america well before the founding of the united states. 9781469658988 1620367513 9781119560975 1119560977emergency management(W�^%`�{t�T�T�^-N�veP�^�T�[hQ6Health And Safety In Emergency Management And Response Dana Stahl 2020-09-14This book familiarizes personnel serving as emergency managers, safety officers, assistant safety officers, and in other safety-relevant incident command system (ics) roles with physical and psychosocial hazards and stressors that may impact the health and safety of workers and responders in an all-hazards response, and ways to minimize exposure.

Kang provides a compelling narrative of this shift in power beginning in the 1980s and leading to the breakup of detroit public schools in 2016, and concludes with a discussion on the implications and dilemmas of regime change. The text looks at such questions as: what happens when local actors no longer have a voice in what happens to their schools? what are the consequences when teachers and administrators cede control to private interests and cease to participate in decisionmaking? what are some ways to redirect public schooling towards democracy in the aftermath of dismantling the progressive era system?book features: examines how a series of policies dismantled the detroit public schools, resulting in new educational characteristics such as the marketization and privatization of schooling. 9780807763827 9780367248901 0367248905�g�^hQtؚI{Ye�����[!j_�-N�V'Yf[!h��v�k��xvz8Developing A Glocal Model Of Higher Education Leadership4A Comparative Study Of Chinese University Presidents,Routledge Research In Educational Leadership Qingyan Tian�Through in-depth interviews with presidents of key chinese universities, all of whom possess leadership experiences across nations and cultures, this book explores a new leadership framework compatible with an increasingly globalized world. By highlighting a model hybrid leadership characterized by global competency, multiple cultural and sectoral mindsets, and geographically adaptable skill sets, this volume challenges and enriches existing theories of higher education leadership. The author confronts traditional methodological techniques by conducting research through an integration of wes< tern and eastern approaches, including the use of confucian principles to analyze interview responses.

It starts out by presenting a governance framework focusing on the demands on universities set by regulators, market actors and scrutinizers. It examines organizational structures, population development, the fundamental tasks of universities, and internal governance structures. Next, the book offers a discussion of the idea and role of universities in society, exploring concepts such as autonomy and universality, and the university as a transformative institute. The next four chapters deal with the development of universities from medieval times, through the renaissance, towards the research universities in the nineteenth century in europe and the united states. The following five chapters analyse recent developments of increasing external demands manifested through evaluations, accreditations and rankings, which in turn have had effects on the organization of universities. 9783030390167 3030390160 �^�g�b��_tf[�(u4ls^Constituting SelvesPsychology's Pragmatic HorizonRichard E.

Socio-tech innovation refers to novel solutions that involve development or adoption of technological innovations to address social and/or environmental problems with a view towards creating benefit for the larger whole rather than just for the owners or investors. Unlike conventionaltechnological innovation,socio-tech innovation either develops a product specifically for underserved markets and adopts a model in which the market is not an afterthought but the rai-son d etre.

A long time member of the windsors' inner circle, marion had a ringside seat to some of the most seismic events of the 20th century. The castles and palaces may have housed a family frozen in time, but outside poverty and unemployment were breeding unrest in 1930s britain, with hitler's ascent looming.

Presenting comparisons of the cases of canada, belgium, switzerland and spain, including descriptions of the social, economic and political contexts in each country, the author investigates the various determinants of each movement, shedding new light on what accounts for ethnic conflict and harmony. With attention to the degrees of equality and inequality among the various ethnic groups in each society, the extent to which these segments are fragmented and the degree to which there is internal communal integration, this volume also examines the particular roles played by political parties and resources in nationalist movements. A unique contribution to social movement theory based on important comparative analyses, this work will appeal to scholars of sociology and politics with interests in ethnic mobilization and contemporary social movements. 9780367493004 9780367432027 0367432021 �[YeN�f�R��[Yexvz�e�lReligion And ViolenceA Religious Studies Approach Paul R Powers�Does religion cause much of the world s violence? is religion inherently violent? would violence disappear if religion did? is true religion a force for peace? is religion a mask for power and self-interest? what aspects of religion make violence more or less likely? religion and violence: a religious studies approach explores the potential of classic social theories to shed light on the relationships between religion and violence.

The innovative essays found here bring forward urgent questions to diverse public, academic, and politically-minded audiences interested in how historical understandings of race, gender, class, nationalism, religion, law, technology and the sciences have been distorted by these far-right movements. If scholars of the last twenty years, like francis fukuyama, believed that neoliberalism marked an "end of history," this volume shows how the far right is effectively threatening democracy and its institutions through the dissemination of alt-facts and histories. 9780128188866 0128188863�b/g�T>yOR�e�vzfga�W^�Hh�Oxvz �S_MR���R�T*gegek��4Smart Cities For Technological And Social Innovation.Case Studies, Current Trends, And Future StepsKim, Hyung Min�Smart cities for technological and social innovation establishes a key theoretical framework to understand the implementation and development of smart cities as innovation drivers, in terms of lasting impacts on productivity, livability and sustainability of specific initiatives.

Photographs taken, for instance, in lesvos, greece, and bodrum, turkey, were instrumental in generating waves of public support for, and populist opposition to "welcoming refugees" in europe. But photographs do not circulate in a vacuum; this book explores the visual economy of the 'refugee crisis,' showing how the reproduction of images is structured by, and secures hierarchies of gender, sexuality, and 'race,' essential to the functioning of bordered nation-states. Taking photography not only as the object of research, but innovating the method of photographia- the material trace of writing/ grafi with light/ phos- this book urges us to view images and their reproduction critically.

It matters, argues schudson, because it orients people daily in the complex and changing worlds in which they live. It matters because it offers a fact-centered, documented approach to pertinent public issues. It matters because it keeps watch on the powerful, especially those in government, and can press upon them unpleasant truths to which they must respond. Corruption is stemmed, unwise initiatives stopped, public danger averted because of what journalists do. This book challenges journalists to think hard about what they really do. It challenges skeptical news audiences to be mindful not only of media bias but also of their own biases and how these can distort their perception. And it holds out hope that journalism will be for years to come a path for ambitious, curious young people who love words or pictures or numbers and want to use them to improve the public conversation in familiar ways or in ways yet to be imagined. 9781509538546 9781509538584 1509538585��qQ�N;NINCryptocommunism Mark AlizartCryptocurrencies are often associated with right-wing political movements, or even with the alt-right. They are the preserve of libertarians and fans of ayn rand and friedrich hayek. With their promotion of anonymity and individualism, there's no doubt that they seamlessly slot into the prevailing anti-state ideology. But in this book mark alizart argues that the significance of cryptocurrencies goes well beyond cryptoanarchism. In so far as they allow us 'to appropriate collectively the means of monetary production', to paraphrase marx, and to replace 'the government of persons by the administration of things', as engels advocated, they form the basis for a political regime that begins to look like a communism which has at last come to fruition - a cryptocommunism. 9781509538577 9781469661551 1469661551�history & archaeology|history|military history|vietnam war//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americasqSi��v0W�e���WS�e�N�v�Sb�TaUK\�T�Q�N_���N�XDangerous Grounds<Antiwar Coffeehouses And Military Dissent In The Vietnam EraDavid L. ParsonsAs the vietnam war divided the nation, a network of antiwar coffeehouses appeared in the towns and cities outside american military bases. Owned and operated by civilian activists, gi coffeehouses served as off-base refuges for the growing number of active-duty soldiers resisting the war. In the first history of this network, david l. Parsons shows how antiwar gis and civilians united to battle local authorities, vigilante groups, and the military establishment itself by building a dynamic peace movement within the armed forces. Peopled with lively characters and set in the tense environs of base towns around the country, this book complicates the often misunderstood relationship between the civilian antiwar movement, u.S.

Using a broad set of primary and secondary sources, parsons shows us a critical moment in the history of the vietnam-era antiwar movement, when a chain of counterculture coffeehouses brought the war's turbulent politics directly to the american military's doorstep. 146965895X 9789211014105 9211014107�politics & government|international relations|united nations & un agencies//economics|development economics//interdisciplinary studies|peace studies & conflict resolution//social studies|warfare & defence|war & defence operations|peacekeeping operations^�2m:S�W�~NmqQ TSO��2��Q�z���Rċ0O[Assessment Of The Conflict Prevention Capabilities Of African Regional Economic Communities-United Nations Office For Outer Sp< ace Affairs�The assessment of the conflict prevention capabilities of african regional economic communities (recs) is an outcome of a six-month-long study that was commissioned by the office of the special adviser on africa (osaa) to map out existing institutional capabilities and gaps, as well as entry points and opportunities, within the recs in preventing conflicts and addressing the structural or root causes.

In this environment e-learning leaders must act within their institutions as much more than technology managers and assume the prime role of helping their institutions understand the opportunities that e-learning presents for faculty, for students, and for client organizations in the community. They need to prepare to participate in policy development around these opportunities.

Each chapter examines a philanthropy, philanthropic network, or corporation focused on pushing an agenda of individualism, privatization, and conservative ideologies. Based in extensive research, including the tax filings of specific philanthropic foundations, the authors demonstrate how the philanthropic elite work within federal, state, and local governmental contexts to influence policy and practice.

Using case studies and experiences from different parts of the continent, this bookassesses how the potential for human resources, in terms of education, can be leveraged in the development process to achieve equity, inclusive development and governance outcomes in africa. This book builds on the "resource curse" to focus on human resources as an alternative paradigm to sustainable development in africa. At a time when concerns over access to quality education is an important issue among policy makers and international development agents, this timely project calls attention to one of the most critical aspects of development in africa. 9783030447212 3030447219"s^�y N�S�Qpe�vhϑNR�y�(WOS0^��~'`�l�QR�gNpef[�~Nmf[-N�v�^(u?Scalarization And Separation By Translation Invariant Functions\With Applications In Optimization, Nonlinear Functional Analysis, And Mathematical EconomicsVector Optimization Christiane Tammer; Petra Weidner686< uLike norms, translation invariant functions are a natural and powerful tool for the separation of sets and scalarization. This book provides an extensive foundation for their application. It presents in a unified way new results as well as results which are scattered throughout the literature. The functions are defined on linear spaces and can be applied to nonconvex problems. Fundamental theorems for the function class are proved, with implications for arbitrary extended real-valued functions. The scope of applications is illustrated by chapters related to vector optimization, set-valued optimization, and optimization under uncertainty, by fundamental statements in nonlinear functional analysis and by examples from mathematical finance as well as from consumer and production theory.The book is written for students and researchers in mathematics and mathematical economics. 9783030383305 303038330X'history of economic thought/methodologybTa'Y)R�~Nmf[6R�^�S ,{2wS��~Nmf[NNN�l��e6R�^1The Economics Profession And Fascist Institutions3Palgrave Studies In The History Of Economic Thought9Massimo M. Augello; Marco E.L. Guidi; Fabrizio BientinesiNItaly is well known for its prominent economists, as well as for the typical public profile they have constantly revealed. But, when facing an illiberal and totalitarian regime, how closely did italian economists collaborate with government in shaping its economic and political institutions, or work independently? this edited book completes a gap in the history of italian economic thought by addressing in a comprehensive way the crucial link between economics and the fascist regime, covering the history of political economy in italy during the so-called  ventennio (1922-1943) with an institutional perspective. The approach is threefold: analysis of the academic and extra-academic scene, where economic science was elaborated and taught, the connection between economics, society and politics, and the dissemination of scientific debate. 9780500252437 0500252432 mythology/ philosophy & religionNLu�v�_�The Heart Of The World Ian BakerfThe legend of shangri-la emerged from the tibetan buddhist belief in beyul, or hidden lands. Tibetan prophecies proclaim that the greatest of these mythical sanctuaries lies at the eastern edge of the himalayas, veiled by a colossal waterfall at the heart of the forbidding tsangpo gorge. After years of research and investigation, buddhist scholar and world-class climber ian baker and his team made worldwide news by reaching the bottom of the tsangpo gorge and finding a magnificent 108-foot-high waterfall - the legendary grail of both western explorers and tibetan seekers. The heart of the world recounts one of the most captivating stories of exploration and discovery in recent memory - an extraordinary journey into one of the wildest and most inaccessible places on earth, a meditation on our place in nature, and a pilgrimage to the heart of tibetan buddhism. 9781786615251 1786615258l;N N~�lO:�N?�&Oyr0R�lpQKQ�yf[>mDDemocracy In Spite Of The Demos: From Arendt To The Frankfurt SchoolReinventing Critical TheoryLarry Alan Busk7The value of democracy is taken for granted today, even by those interested in criticizing the fundamental structures of society. Things would be better, the argument goes, if only things were more democratic. The word "democracy" means "the power of the people," and scholars with a critical and progressive outlook often invoke this meaning as a way of justifying the honorific status accorded to the term: the power of the people to resist racism, sexism, imperialism, climate change, etc. But if the people have the power to resist these structures of domination and inequality, they also have the power to reinforce them. By treating democracy as an end in itself, political theorists of a critical bent overwhelmingly assume that the demos, if given the opportunity, will advance progressive or even radical politics. 9780367244224 0367244225 pS�^�WcwYeS�:WЏ�R&The Christian Ashram Movement In India Zden?k `tipl�This book is one of the first to present a definitive history of the christian ashram movement. It offers insights into the development of the movement, on europe s orientalist view of eastern mysticism, and how the concept of the  ashram spread beyond the borders of india.Drawing extensively from ashram literature and the author s field research, the book critically analyses the notions of inculturation in the encounter between christianity and hindu spirituality and ritualism. It looks at how the movement grew out of the colonial encounter and how it evolved through the years which were contingent on developments within christian churches outside india. The volume also discusses the reinterpretation of the idea of the  ashram by christian theologians, the introduction of elite brahmanical concepts within the movement, and the unique theological perspectives which were nurtured in these ashrams. 9780367485146 0367485141 �~�~�h�`^y݋ �c�y:S�T���N(W�SxQNLu�v��:Community And Identity At The Edges Of The Classical World Aaron IrvincThe question of identity is one that has been central to the study of the roman empire in particular, for at least the last century. The now academically abandoned paradigm of "romanization" posited the idea that the subjects of the roman empire eventually saw themselves as romans, thus creating a homogenous culture. While scholars such as brun and millett effectively deconstructed that model at the end of the 20th century, the last 20 years has seen a new paradigm emerge in the works of woolf and mattingly, allowing for < a kind of heterogenous discussion of cultural values that incorporated the elite of several societies. The work of prag and quinn in particular has also seen the expansion of this discussion into the hellenistic period of empires prior to the roman expansion. The themes, setting, time period, and ideas presented in this volume thus serve as a perfect amalgamation of where the broader topic of identity and community currently sits in scholarship; a timely addition to an ongoing debate, from a group of scholars who traditionally have not been a part of the discussion in western publications. 9780730382737 0730382737O��,{ASNHrpS7R�T�N�R5uP[�e,g4Accounting 11th Edition Print And Interactive E-text 9781509540761 1509540768l;N�V�[�^�YUOSb�QP``;NIN?'How Should Democracies Fight Terrorism?Patti Tamara Lenard5In the wake of major terrorist attacks, calls for ever more draconian policies to prevent further outrages are common. Such responses raise the pressing question: is it possible to effectively fight terrorism while respecting democratic values of equality and trust? examining recent examples of terrorist atrocities - from the murder of muslims in new zealand and jews in pittsburgh to the charlie hebdo attacks - patti tamara lenard considers how democracies should tackle terrorism within the constraints imposed by democratic principles. For many, the tension between liberty and security necessarily means that the only way to protect security is to sacrifice liberty--but lenard rejects this claim, and instead argues that security's goal should be to keep all citizens equally secure in the face of terrorist threats. Critiquing existing policies, from exile to racial profiling, she outlines what ethical counter-terrorism policies should look like, arguing for strategies that respect equality and thereby maintain trust among diverse communities in democratic states. 9781509540754 1509541683 9780815349174 0815349173Routledge Џ�R0;��pNSO��;m�Rċ0OKb�QIRoutledge Handbook Of Assessment In Sport, Exercise And Physical ActivityEdited By Weimo Zhu�The routledge handbook of assessment in sport, exercise and physical activity provides a vital and timely overview of assessment theories, statistical methods and tools for scientists, practitioners, and students working across a full range of sport and exercise disciplines.Including sections on the principles and practice of assessment of physical fitness, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, performance across a range of over thirty sports, and key emerging areas such as physical literacy and injury risk, the book constitutes the most comprehensive resource ever published in the area.Adopting a fully international and interdisciplinary perspective, no other book covers assessment in sport, exercise and physical activity in the same breadth or depth.

In the years that followed, hundreds of thousands more followed in a mass exodus from slavery that would destroy the system once and for all. Drawing on an extraordinary survey of slave refugee camps throughout the country, embattled freedom reveals as never before the everyday experiences of these refugees from slavery as they made their way through the vast landscape of army-supervised camps that emerged during the war. Amy murrell taylor vividly reconstructs the human world of wartime emancipation, taking readers inside military-issued tents and makeshift towns, through commissary warehouses and active combat, and into the realities of individuals and families struggling to survive physically as well as spiritually. Narrating their journeys in and out of the confines of the camps, taylor shows in often gripping detail how the most basic necessities of life were elemental to a former slave's quest for freedom and full citizenship. 9781975502096 1975502094�education|schools|primary & middle schools//education|schools|secondary schools//education//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic minorities & multicultural studies//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|black &�N^�2m:N-N�_�vYe��:t��N�[��African-centered Education!Critical Race Issues In EducationKmt G.

The authors argue that black children need an education that moves them toward leading and taking agency within their own communities. They address several areas that capture the essence of what african-centered education is, how it works, and why it is a critical imperative at this moment. Those areas include historical analyses of african-centered education;< parental perspectives; strategies for working with black children; african-centered culture, science and stem; culturally responsive curriculum and instruction; and culturally responsive resources for teachers and school leaders. 9781975502089 9781681406428 168140642XK-8�e�W�] z��] zNkb�v�v�~T�e�lNovel Engineering, K-82An Integrated Approach To Engineering And LiteracyPElissa Milto; Merredith Portsmore; Mary Mccormick; Jessica Watkins; Morgan Hynes-With the novel engineering approach, "students become excited about what they are reading, writing, designing, and building! this excitement in turn helps them make strides in engineering and literacy, as well as in their abilities to work together, think creatively and analytically, and communicate their ideas." -from chapter 1 of novel engineering this book will both introduce your students to an exciting integrated curriculum and support you as you use it in your own elementary or middle school classroom. Novel engineering shows how your students can work through engineering design challenges inspired by a broad range of literature-novels and short stories, biographies and histories, or even picture books. By way of introduction, the book offers clear conceptual background and practical advice on how the approach works: your students pull information from literature to identify a problem. Then, using details from the story or text, they go through an engineering design process to develop functional solutions for their "clients"-the book's characters. 1975502086 9781644694299 1644694298�social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|jewish studies//religious studies|religion: general|philosophy of religion//religious studies|judaism|judaism: life & practice//religious studies|judaism|judaism: theology//religious studies|judaism|!�r*Y�N�v�Q(W�[Ye��Q(W�[Yeu;m�v�sa�f[�SvQ�N#W�~0R�T��_�e,g�vh��s Inner Religion In Jewish Sources]A Phenomenology Of Inner Religious Life And Its Manifestation From The Bible To Hasidic Texts Ron Margolin�This book offers a comprehensive exploration of inner life in the jewish sources.

John Williams; David Barlex�This book explores pedagogy appropriate for the secondary school technology education classroom. It covers the dimensions of pedagogy for technology with scholarly research, including information strongly related to practice. The book discusses the nature of technology courses in secondary schools across various jurisdictions and considers how they might be viewed with regard to different epistemological frameworks. The writing is informed by, but not limited to, research and strongly related to practice with acknowledged experts in the field of technology education contributing chapters supported by evidence from technology education research or other fields. The authors speculate on pedagogical possibilities in their areas of expertise in order to consider pedagogical possibilities and develop a view of where pedagogy for technology education should move and how teachers might respond in the way they develop their practice. 9780367508968 0367508966����>yO?��l�v�~�v�T��vN g�N���v?e�lAllying Beyond Social Divides#Coalitions And Contentious Politics+Routledge Studies In Mediterranean Politics*Edited By Yasmine Berriane And Marie Duboc"This book offers a fresh look at the role of coalitions in contentious politics in north africa and the middle east, based on conceptual reflexions, and empirical case studies by researchers who have conducted extensive fieldwork in the region.

But what happens when islamists ally with leftists, workers with student unions, and young engineers with local tribesmen? how do coalitions form across ideological, generational, professional, ethnic and class divides? are such collaborations transformative? the authors seek to show that it is important to go beyond analyses that focus mainly on identifying the factors that led to a coalition s success or failure: coalitions are moments of transformative encounter that can lead to changes affecting relations with political authorities, ideological learnings, repertoires of action, and understandings of the notion of right. 9780367509002 9780367461911 0367461919l;NNhQtS�$a`0P`�`N ^gDemocracy And GlobalizationAnger, Fear, And Hope Josep M Colomer And Ashley Beale�As democracy is disrupted by globalization, the solution is to globalize democracy.

It also addresses the role of political emotions, including disappointments about unmet expectations, anger incited from opposition candidates, fear induced from government, and hope wrapping up new proposals for reform and change.

Their precarious status makes this group a privileged subject to examine the negotiation and formation of racial identity as well as the definition of citizenship requirements in colonial and post-colonial contexts. Based on archival material collected in spain (seville and madrid) and latin america (mexico city, bogot�, quito, lima and buenos aires), the book demonstrates that the access of free people of color to citizenship both in the late colonial and early independent period was not established by state authorities, but resulted from complex dynamics between the state and the local society. 9780367234867 0367234866 O�epQ0ISN/e�y4x�x�v�V�[�-NNNS^�0W:S?e�l O�epQ�vcb"Islam, Is And The Fragmented State4The Challenges Of Political Islam In The Mena Region4Anoush Ehteshami, Amjed Rasheed And Juline BeaujouanoThis book provides a pioneering and original study of the regional effects of political islam.

The geohistorical approach can be synthetically defined as a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that uses techniques and perspectives, mainly from geography, history, and natural sciences, to examine topics that inform the space-time knowledge of environment, territory, and landscape. The boundary between the application of physical and human science methods is large and hazy. This volume exists at this boundary and offers an approach that utilizes both historical data (from both physical and human records) and giscience (e.G.

Businesses are expected to run continuously, and servers and server operating systems play a crucial role in this  always-on mentality. When company sites cannot process a consumer s requests in a timely manner or, worse, reveal that the server is down or temporarily unavailable, the consumer loses patience and leaves the site. Consequently, the loss of engagement can negatively impact the company.System administration and server operating platforms for enhancing business continuity and it capability is a collection of innovative research that examines the importance of it capability and business continuity and how they affects a firm s performance and explores the role of system administration in ensuring higher levels of system availability and system scalability. 9781799837817110 9780128203774 0128203773 b�N�T,{�N��f[`N"Adult And Second Language Learning72Federmeier, Kara The psychology of learning and motivation, volume 72 in this preeminent series, features empirical and theoretical contributions in cognitive and experimental psychology, ranging from classical and instrumental conditioning, to complex learning and problem-solving.

There are lots of deliverables to produce, standards and procedures to observe, plans and budgets to meet, and different people to manage. Project management doesn't just start and end with designing and building the system. Once you've specified, designed and built (or bought) the system it still needs to be properly tested, documented and settled into the live environment. This can seem like a maze to the inexperienced project manager, or even to the experienced project manager unused to a particular environment.A hacker's guide to project management acts as a guide through this maze. It's aimed specifically at those managing a project or leading a team for the first time, but it will also help more experienced managers who are either new to software development, or dealing with a new part of the software life-cycle. 9781509535637 15095356321��kHhThe Case For DegrowthGiorgis Kallis}The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining characteristic of contemporary societies. Yet it benefits few and demands monstrous social and ecological sacrifice. Is there a viable alternative? how can we halt the endless quest to grow global production and consumption and instead secure socio-ecological conditions that support lives worth living for all? in this compelling book, leading experts giorgos kallis, susan paulson, giacomo d'alisa and federico demaria make the case for degrowth - living well with less, by living differently, prioritizing wellbeing, equity and sustainability. Drawing on emerging initiatives and enduring traditions around the world, they advance a radical degrowth vision and outline policies to shape work and care, income and investment that avoid exploitative and unsustainable practices. Degrowth, they argue, can be achieved through transformative strategies that allow societies to slow down by design, not disaster. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students, this book will be an important contribution to one of the thorniest and most pressing debates of our era. 9781509535620 9783030447106 3030447103�Sc�~�{tNRNR�e / O��U_9Innovation In Sustainable Management And Entrepreneurship42019 International Symposium In Management (sim2019).Springer Proceedings In Business And EconomicsIGabriela Prostean; Juan Jos� Lavios Villahoz; Laura Brancu; Gyula BakacsinThis book analyses state-of-the-art techniques in business process management as drivers of advanced entrepreneurship, financial management, supply chain management, and sustainability management.

Saul; Rudolph BothaThe period 1823 to the present was an important phase in the standardisation of isixhosa orthography. The early pioneers of a written form of isixhosa experienced significant challenges in reducing this african language to writing, since there was no reference material other than that designed for the european languages. Over the years, the development of isixhosa orthography has progressed considerably. However, various inconsistencies and anomalies remain that require the attention of african language specialists.This book provides comprehensive guidelines on important aspects of isixhosa orthography such as word division, spelling and capitalisation. However, the authors' primary focus has been those challenging areas of standardisation which have not yet been attended to. This work will make an important contribution to the development of isixhosa into a fully functional medium of teaching and learning in higher education, and facilitate the enhancement of its status as one of south africa's official languages. 9780730381990 0730381994ޏ�csQ�|�o�R�(W�NUO�`�Q N���S�NۏL��NAm>Connect Relate Motivate: Master Communication In Any Situation Rik Rushton 9780857088673 085708867X�YUOb:NN*Nx^�y�v�N:u;m�v^��[�eĉR5How To Be A Well Being: The Unofficial Rules For Life Andy Cope�The mental health crisis is caused by a modern-day phenomenon - the world is moving faster than human evolution.

Barber�Students' ability to integrate learning across contexts is a critical outcome for higher education. Often the most powerful learning experiences that students report from their college years are those that prompt integration of learning, yet it remains an outcome that few educators explicitly work towards or specify as a course objective. Given that students will be more successful in college (and in life) if they can integrate their learning, james barber offers a guide for college educators on how to promote students' integration of learning, and help them connect knowledge and insights across contexts, whether in-class or out-of-class, in co-curricular activities, or across courses and disciplinary boundaries. This book is addressed to a wide range of educators engaged with college student learning, from faculty to student affairs administrators, athletic coaches, internship supervisors, or anyone concerned with student development. The opening chapters lay the foundation for the book, defining what integration of learning is, how to promote it and students' capacities for reflection; and introduce the author's research-based integration of learning (iol) model. 9781620367476 9781469661537 1469661535fhistory & archaeology|history|regional & national history|european history//economics|economic history-�bQeςT��~Nm�v�e�N�s|�T O\�b\�]TN+Y�Mikhail Gorbachev �NςT��v)]�n'The Struggle To Save The Soviet Economy.Mikhail Gorbachev And The Collapse Of The UssrThe New Cold War History Chris Miller�For half a century the soviet economy was inefficient but stable. In the late 1980s, to the surprise of nearly everyone, it suddenly collapsed. Why did this happen? and what role did soviet leader mikhail gorbachev's economic reforms play in the country's dissolution? in this groundbreaking study, chris miller shows that gorbachev and his allies tried to learn from the great success story of transitions from socialism to capitalism, deng xiaoping's china. Why, then, were efforts to revitalize soviet socialism so much less successful than in china? making use of never-before-studied documents from the soviet politburo and other archives, miller argues that the difference between the soviet union and china--and the ultimate cause of the soviet collapse--was not economics but politics. The soviet government was divided by bitter conflict, and gorbachev, the ostensible soviet autocrat, was unable to outmaneuver the interest groups that were threatened by his economic reforms. Miller's analysis settles long-standing debates about the politics and economics of perestroika, transforming our understanding of the causes of the soviet union's rapid demise. 9781469659992 1469659999-politics & government|international relations �VE��ThQtxvz�[��0Introduction To International And Global Studies"Shawn C.

The pill became generally available and sexuality was both celebrated and flaunted. Homosexuality was gradually decriminalized. Gay liberation and women s liberation erupted. Activists established women s refuges, rape crisis centres, and counselling services.

Returning to fight in the british civil wars, haynes rose to become cromwell s ruler of the east of england, tasked with bringing about a godly revolution, and in rising to prominence he became the centre of his own developing political and religious network, which included a kin link to cromwell himself. As one of cromwell s major-generals haynes was tasked with security and a reformation of manners, but he was hampered by the limits of the early modern state and cromwell s own contradictory political and religious ideas. The restoration saw haynes imprisoned in the tower before emerging to return to the community in which he had been raised, and continuing the links with some of those he had worked with for cromwell and the kin he had left behind in new england in dealing with the norms of early modern life. 9781516508433 1516508432+bisac category: literary criticism | jewish �S�N�r*YYe#W�~�N�O�v�N�~9The Scriptures Of Ancient Judaism: A Secular Introduction+Vadim Jigoulov; Steven Jacobs; Jaco GerickerThe scriptures of ancient judaism: a secular introduction provides students with a scholarly exploration of the literature and themes of the old testament/hebrew bible and cognate near eastern materials.

The consequences are felt by the locals, the tourists themselves as well as the environment. As a result, tourismphobia and anti-tourism movements have emerged as ways for locals to reclaim their lifestyle by refusing to interact with visitors and sometimes discouraging them to visit.This book presents new research on this emerging phenomenon and discusses the main causes and implications before putting forward possible solutions.

In this pathbreaking account, billy coleman uses the history of american music to illuminate the relationship between elite power and the people from the early national period to the civil war. Based on deep archival research in sources such as music periodicals, songbooks, and manuals for musical instruction, coleman argues that a particular ideal of musical power provided conservative elites with an attractive road map for producing the harmonious union they desired. He reassesses the logic behind the decision to compose popular patriotic anthems like "the star-spangled banner," reconsiders the purpose of early american campaign songs, and brings to life a host of often forgotten but fascinating musical organizations and individuals. The result is not only a striking interpretation of music in american political life but also a fresh understanding of conflicts that continue to animate american democracy. 9781469661605 1469661608�religious studies|religion: general|comparative religion//social studies|society & culture: general|social issues & processes|social discrimination//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas�[Ye�1u:��Vt�`�v�N���S�SReligious Freedom*The Contested History Of An American Ideal Tisa WengerAReligious freedom is so often presented as a timeless american ideal and an inalienable right, appearing fully formed at the founding of the united states. That is simply not so, tisa wenger contends in this sweeping and brilliantly argued book. Instead, american ideas about religious freedom were continually reinvented through a vibrant national discourse--wenger calls it ""religious freedom talk--that cannot possibly be separated from the evolving politics of race and empire. More often than not, wenger demonstrates, religious freedom talk worked to privilege the dominant white christian population. At the same time, a diverse array of minority groups at home and colonized people abroad invoked and reinterpreted this ideal to defend themselves and their ways of life. In so doing they posed sharp challenges to the racial and religious exclusions of american life.

Containing illuminating case studies written by practicing teachers from the further and vocational education sector, it posits that educational research should enable teachers to learn from research in order to improve their own educational practice. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of further and vocational education, as well as those wanting to bridge the gap between research and practice.@International Series In Operations Research & Management Science 9781119596066 1119596068(Wiley ?e�^N,�lQ��O���SR 2020��]N0W�e?e�^lQ��O���SR�v�ʑN�^(u�Wiley Gaap For Governments 2020 - Interpretation And Application Of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles For State And Local Governments Warren Ruppel�Wiley gaap for governments 2020 is a comprehensive guide to the accounting and financial reporting principles used by state and local governments as well as other governmental entities.

Divided into three parts, the book sets out by addressing the conceptual aspects of threat and by opening views on phenomena and social processes associated with threat. It shows how threat constitutes an analytical category that simultaneously involves social, psychological, religious, historical and political factors, and calls for a sufficiently broad conceptual definition to integrate pluri-disciplinary contributions. The second par< t focuses on the building of threats, mainly the environmental threats that have reached a tragic dimension today and are a core aspect of world concerns, the contemporary global terrorism, the migrations and the challenges these bring to contemporary societies, as well as the threats associated with the emergence of nationalism and the diverse aspects of excluding the other. 9789811364372 9811364370�QQg�b/g_�SN�N�N�RuTAG�SvQNvQ�N��R�vOS T\O(u)Rural Technology Development And Delivery,Rutag And Its Synergy With Other InitiativesDesign Science And InnovationSubir Kumar Saha; M.

As accusations of witchcraft spread across east anglia, stearne and matthew hopkins were enlisted by villagers to identify and eradicate witches. After the trials finally subsided in 1648, stearne wrote his only publication, a confirmation and discovery of witchcraft, but it had a limited readership. Consequently, stearne and his work fell into obscurity until the 1800s, and were greatly overshadowed by hopkins and his text. This book is the first study which analyses stearne s publication and contextualises his ideas within early modern intellectual cultures of religion, demonology, gender, science, and print in order to better understand the witch-finder s beliefs and motives. The book argues that stearne was a key player in the trials, that he was not a mainstream  puritan , and that his witch-finding availed from contemporary science. 9780367417161 0367417162f[/g݋�-N�v틙e�^R�g�f[/g݋�Nf[`N�틙e�^%Corpus Analysis In Academic Discourse&Academic Discourse And Learner Corpora#Edited By Mar�a Luisa Carri�-pastorThis collection sheds light on the ways in which corpus linguistics and the use of learner corpora might be applied to the study of academic discourse, revealing linguistic and rhetorical patterns and insights into variation across a range of disciplinary genres. Organized into three sections, the book highlights key tools and methodologies in corpus analysis to study such features as discourse markers, lexical bundles, linguistic complexity, lexico-grammatical conventions, and modality in case studies in studies of academic discourse, both in a second language and in english for specific purposes. The volume features examples from disciplinary genres not often covered in the existing literature, including ma theses, academic book reviews, and online student forums. Taken together with the study of learner corpora, the book demonstrates the impact of corpus linguistic tools in better understanding linguistic patterns of specific languages and language use and in turn, their role in helping to identify the needs of language learners. 9780367357115 0367357119�N2m�v�OW�e��`a�0�N�RN�s�[Russia In Asia)Imaginations, Interactions, And Realities<Edited By Jane Hacking, Jeffrey Hardy And Matthew RomanielloeThis volume presents new research on russian-asian connections by historians, art historians, literary scholars, and linguists from the united states, russia, and canada.

This book draws on an empirical program of research in economic psychology to establish a route to a reliable and justifiable intentional explanation of behavior. Since the cognitive revolution in psychology, intentional explanations of behavior have become the norm, and as the methodology that provides the normal science component of psychology, cognitivism is sometimes accepted relatively uncritically. However, there is a lack of understanding of the role of psychological research in determining the place and shape of intentionality. This book explicates the philosophy of psychology that the author has devised and applied in his work on economic psychology and behavioral economics. Given the provenance of intentional behaviorism, economic and consumer psychology forms the primary application basis for the book. 9780128154502 0128154500R�\t^�SU\t��"Theories Of Adolescent DevelopmentNewman, Barbara�Adolescence is both universal and culturally constructed, resulting in diverse views about its defining characteristics.

Baker immigrated to the united states from the caribbean island of nevis in 1915. Three decades later, he was elected to the new york state legislature, representing the bedford stuyvesant section. A pioneer and a giant, baker has a story that is finally revealed in intimate and honest detail by his grandson ron howell. Boss of black brooklyn begins with the tale of one man's rise to prominence in a fascinating era of black american history, a time when thousands of west indian families began leaving their native islands in the caribbean and settling in new york city. In 1948, bert baker was elected to the new york state assembly, representing the growing central brooklyn neighborhood of bedford stuyvesant. Baker loved telling his fellow legislators that only one other nevisian had ever served in the state assembly. That was alexander hamilton, the founding father. Making his own mark on modern history, baker pushed through one of the nation's first bills outlawing discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. 9780823280995 9781799851073 1799851079 �N*Y0W:SYe��9ei�N�VE��e�QFEducational Reform And International Baccalaureate In The Asia-pacificDavid Gregory CoulsonUThe need to reform secondary-level education to prepare young people for new economic realities has emerged.

Plato tells the story of prisoners who mistake the shadows on the wall of their cave for flesh-and-blood reality. These  shadow narratives dominated their expectations, and when confronted with a three-< dimensional reality that bore little resemblance to the shadows, the prisoners were blinded by the light. Surrounded by images and rhetoric that reduce the fullness of teaching to flat, two-dimensional representations, today's pre-service teachers tend to develop expectations of teaching that resemble the shadows more than they resemble reality. These misaligned expectations often lead to practice shock: the painful and disillusioning cognitive dissonance that comes about when unsustainable expectations collide with real-world practice. 97830301349076���'Yf[,6���'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[ 9783030129132 3030129136�f�R��Ƌ����[f[!h�f�R9h�n�v��ƋThe Epistemology Of Violence6Understanding The Root Causes Of Violence In SchoolingBeth M. Titchiner�This book provides an in-depth, multidisciplinary framework and case-study analysis for understanding the root causes of violence in schooling. Drawing on critical theory, psychology, neuroscience and learning theory, the author provides a holistic analysis of how  violent epistemology and the  non-conducive circumstances that it produces can be seen to be at the roots of violence in societies and social institutions such as schools. Chapter 1 outlines how current and historical theories of violence, and interventions based on them, have failed due to their inability to properly conceptualise the root causes of violence. Chapters 2 addresses this by providing a new epistemic and methodological framework for studying violence. Chapters 3 and 4 then demonstrate how violence can be best conceptualised as a problem of specifically  violent epistemology and the  non-conducive social circumstances that it fosters. 9780252085499 0252085493�bisac category: history / general/history / united states / general/history / united states / state & local / south (al/ ar/ fl/ ga/ ky/ la/ ms/ nc/ sc/ tn/ va/ wv)'kNbKQ�v�S�S �,{NwS:�S��v'kNbKQThe Old OzarksBrooks Blevins�Winner of the missouri history book award, from the state historical society of missouri winner of the arkansiana award, from the arkansas library association the ozarks reflect the epic tableau of the american people the native osage and would-be colonial conquerors, the determined settlers and on-the-make speculators, the hardscrabble farmers and visionary entrepreneurs.

Sherman's union forces came ever nearer the city, the defending confederate army of tennessee replaced its commanding general, removing joseph e. Johnston and elevating john bell hood. This decision stunned and demoralized confederate troops just when hood was compelled to take the offensive against the approaching federals. Attacking northward from atlanta's defenses, hood's men struck george h. Thomas's army of the cumberland just after it crossed peach tree creek on july 20. Initially taken by surprise, the federals fought back with spirit and nullified all the advantages the confederates first enjoyed. As a result, the federals achieved a remarkable defensive victory. Offering new and definitive interpretations of the battle's place within the atlanta campaign, earl j. Hess describes how several confederate regiments and brig< ades made a pretense of advancing but then stopped partway to the objective and took cover for the rest of the afternoon on july 20. 9781469661452 1469661454�social studies|society & culture: general|media studies//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history�f�e�eY�eN�TaSWeg�~�e�b�+o��vў�N�1u�e�N-N�vu;m#Louis Austin And The Carolina Times)A Life In The Long Black Freedom StruggleJerry GershenhornuLouis austin (1898-1971) came of age at the nadir of the jim crow era and became a transformative leader of the long black freedom struggle in north carolina. From 1927 to 1971, he published and edited the carolina times, the preeminent black newspaper in the state. He used the power of the press to voice the anger of black carolinians, and to turn that anger into action in a forty-year crusade for freedom. In this biography, jerry gershenhorn chronicles austin's career as a journalist and activist, highlighting his work during the great depression, world war ii, and the postwar civil rights movement. Austin helped pioneer radical tactics during the depression, including antisegregation lawsuits, boycotts of segregated movie theaters and white-owned stores that refused to hire black workers, and african american voting rights campaigns based on political participation in the democratic party. In examining austin's life, gershenhorn narrates the story of the long black freedom struggle in north carolina from a new vantage point, shedding new light on the vitality of black protest and the black press in the twentieth century. 9781469638768 9789231003714 9231003712�politics & government|international relations|united nations & un agencies//economics|development economics//technology & engineering|environmental science/ engineering & technology|sanitary & municipal engineering|water supply & treatmentT�T�V 0 2020t^NLu4l�SU\�bJT�4lNlP�SS 06The United Nations World Water Development Report 2020Water And Climate Change1The United Nations World Water Development Report?United Nations Educational Scientific And Cultural Organization�The 2020 edition of the wwdr, titled water and climate change illustrates the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda.

Psychological essentialism is a pervasive conceptual bias to think that some everyday categories reflect the real, underlying, natural structure of the world. Whereas essentialist thought can sometimes be useful, it is often problematic, particularly when people rely on essentialist thinking to understand groups of people, including those based on gender, race, ethnicity, or religion. This volume will bring together diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives on how essentialist thinking about the social world develops in childhood and on the implications of these beliefs for children's social behavior and intergroup relations more generally. 9783030428136 3030428133*environmental and sustainability education�W�N0W�p�vf[`Nb__��rs0ʼnߘNUc|�"Place-based Learning For The Plate&Hunting, Foraging And Fishing For Food-Environmental Discourses In Science Education4Joel B.

Aside from the expansion of industrial gold mining, many countries have simultaneously witnessed an expansion of labor-intensive and predominantly informal artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Both trends are usually studied in isolation, which contributes to a dominant image of a dual gold mining economy. Counteracting this dominant view, this volume adopts a global perspective, and demonstrates that both industrial gold mining and artisanal and small-scale gold mining are functionally integrated into a global gold production system. It couples an analysis of structural trends in global gold production (expansion, informalization, and technological innovation) to twelve country case studies that detail how global gold production becomes embedded in institutional and ecological structures. 9780367207625 0367207621(uEAL�n��|^?Q�v�Bl�xvz�W�[��,Meeting The Needs Of Young Children With EalResearch Informed PracticeMalini Mistry And Krishan Sood�Drawing on the latest research into how young children learn, this book considers how early years practitioners can best meet the needs of children with english as an additional language.

The book demonstrates how a certain understanding of nationalism by awakened christians, who were associated with political conservatism, was applied to themselves as belonging to a german nation, and correspondingly to jews as members of a distinct jewish nation. It argues that this kind of nationalization by neo-pietists among them theologians, intellectuals, and members of the agrarian aristocracy was interwoven with their religion of the heart, and drew on a tradition of a community of kinship established by the earlier german pietism since the late seventeenth century. 9780367503963 9780367900366 036790036X <\�e)R�N�vl;N�[��N�lt-Democratic Practice And Governance In NigeriaVEdited By Ebenezer Oluwole Oni, Omololu Michael Fagbadebo And Dhikru Adewale YagboyajuThis book examines the challenges confronting the practice of democracy and governance in nigeria.

Forensic scientists, law enforcement, and crime scene investigators are often tasked with reconstruction of events based on crime scene evidence, along with the subsequent analysis of that evidence. The use and misuse of firearms to perpetrate crimes from theft to murder necessitates numerous invitations to reconstruct shooting incidents. The discharge of firearms and the behavior of projectiles create many forms of physical evidence that, through proper testing and interpretation by a skilled forensic scientist, can establish what did and what did not occur. Written by the world's most well-respected shooting scene and ballistics experts, the book addresses the terminology, science, and factors involved in reconstructing shooting incident events to solve forensic cases. 9783030422103 3030422100 -NN�N�RD�,g�?�T�K�Ɖ҉ Human Capital In The Middle EastA Uae Perspective3Palgrave Studies In Global Human Capital Management6Vijay Pereira; Mark Neal; Yama Temouri; Wardah Qureshi�Providing evidence of the role of human capital on innovation in the middle east, this edited collection closely examines the unique nature of the workforce in this region.

Sherman's union troops began their campaign for atlanta in the spring of 1864, they encountered confederate forces employing field fortifications located to take advantage of rugged terrain. While the confederates consistently acted on the defensive, digging eighteen lines of earthworks from may to september, the federals used fieldworks both defensively and offensively. With 160,000 troops engaged on both sides and hundreds of miles of trenches dug, fortifications became a defining factor in the atlanta campaign battles. These engagements took place on topography ranging from appalachian foothills to the clay fields of georgia's piedmont. Leading military historian earl j. Hess examines how commanders adapted their operations to the physical environment, how the environment in turn affected their movements, and how civil war armies altered the terrain through the science of field fortification. He also illuminates the impact of fighting and living in ditches for fo< ur months on the everyday lives of both union and confederate soldiers. 9781469643427 9781469661469 1469661462�social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//business/ management & finance|industry & industrial studies|industrial relations & safety|industrial relations//history & archaeology|history|regional & national historyў�N�m2�XTNFDNY��~�~^�v�]\O �ckINNs^I{�e�NBlack Firefighters And The Fdny;The Struggle For Jobs, Justice, And Equity In New York CityDavid Goldberg�For many african americans, getting a public sector job has historically been one of the few paths to the financial stability of the middle class, and in new york city, few such jobs were as sought-after as positions in the fire department (fdny). For over a century, generations of black new yorkers have fought to gain access to and equal opportunity within the fdny. Tracing this struggle for jobs and justice from 1898 to the present, david goldberg details the ways each generation of firefighters confronted overt and institutionalized racism. An important chapter in the histories of both black social movements and independent workplace organizing, this book demonstrates how black firefighters in new york helped to create affirmative action from the ""bottom up,"" while simultaneously revealing how white resistance to these efforts shaped white working-class conservatism and myths of american meritocracy. 9783030401375 3030401375 victimology �SP`b�N 0�V�[�rjN�oۏ;NIN��oۏ;NIN�v�gbt��1The  war On Terror , State Crime & Radicalization'A Constitutive Theory Of Radicalization+Palgrave Studies In Risk, Crime And Society Shamila Ahmed�This book examines the  war on terror and radicalisation from an ontological, non-state centric perspective. Since 9/11, criminology has developed in its study of terrorism, utilising alternative non-state centric frameworks to uncover and make visible state-initiated harm. Although progress has been achieved, criminology has continued to privilege the state, thereby failing to uncover forms of state crime and how such crimes facilitate radicalisation and terrorism. Ahmed aims to rectify this gap by demonstrating how crimes of the state have contributed to the existence of islamist-inspired terrorism and the emergence of global jihadist organisations like al-qaeda and isis.The  war on terror abandons the dominant socially-constructed discourse and application of the  war on terror and instead favours a grounded approach whereby actors, actions and consequences are analysed according to the risk they represent. 146965511X 0823288951BFrom a certain perspective, the biggest political story of 2016 was how the candidate who bought three-quarters of the political ads lost to the one whose every provocative tweet set the agenda for the day's news coverage. With the arrival of bot farms, microtargeted facebook ads, and cambridge analytica, isn't the age of political ads on local tv coming to a close? you might think. But you'd be wrong to the tune of $4.4 billion just in 2016. In us elections, there's a lot more at stake than the presidency, and for the campaigns running races down the ballot-for 535 congressional seats, 55 governorships, and countless elections for state legislator, mayor, judge, attorney general, and more-tv spending has gone up dramatically since 2006. The 2020 campaign shows no signs of bucking this trend. When candidates don't enjoy the name recognition and celebrity of the presidential contenders, it's very much business as usual. They rely on the local tv newscasts, watched by thirty million people every day-not tweets-to convey their messages to an audience more fragmented than ever.child and school psychology 9789811522284 9811522286"S�['`�SU\�v�Ncb��~�_ R.Radhakrishna Ye�c�eƖ.Issues And Challenges Of Inclusive Development(Essays In Honor Of Prof. R.

These strategies are anchored by a brief exploration of the history and effect/s of exclusion and deprivilege in higher education. However, while many publications exploring academic inequality focus on the causes and impacts of structural, psychological and cultural exclusion based on racism, sexism, classism and ableism, they rarely engage in interventions to expose and combat such de/privilege. Capturing examples of inclusive practices that are as diverse as student and faculty populations, these strategies can be easily translated and employed by organisations, collectives and individuals to recognise and combat social and academic exclusion within higher education environments. 9780367353735 0367353733^�Ԉ��VAmL��eS�v�[Ye0�N_N�S�b�^y�h�oDReligion, Ritual, And Resistance In African American Popular CulturePerforming God-talk Joy R Bostic�Examining african american artists such as prince, beyonc�, kendrick lamar and janelle mon�e, this book shows how black culture offers remedies and reveals visions of hope, identity and community that incorporate religious concepts, ideas and images. Their performance of  god-talk invokes a sense of both blackness and divinity that counter the pervasive debasement of africanity and challenge hegemonic whiteness.The book argues that each of these cultural icons confront the devaluation of black humanity, making black life  hyper visible and constructing and affirming notions of a divinity that is actively involved in black culture. To do this they use strategies that are consistent with aspects of african diasporic cosmologies and cultures that include call and response, improvisation, incarnation/embodiment of the divine, reverence for ancestors, a belief in the permeability of the  invisible and social worlds, and the simultaneity of past, present and future in ritual spaces. 0367444135 9780367471316 03674713100W?e�l(W'k�vN�0W:S�v]w�IThe Rise Of Geopolitics In The Eu s Approach In Its Eastern Neighbourhood(Edited By Cristian Nitoiu And Monika Sus�The rise of geopolitics in the eu s approach in its eastern neighbourhood analyses the way the rise of geopolitics in the world order during the last decade has influenced the approach of the european union (eu) towards its eastern neighbourhood. Crises ranging from the arab spring, the migrant crisis to the ukraine crisis have made the eu reconsider its role in the world and strategy in international relations. In this context the eu has been forced to come to terms with the importance of geopolitics in the world order and revise its foreign policy. This volume analyses this very process of revision and change by focusing on one of the key regions bordering the eu: namely the so-called eastern neighbourhood. Due to the salience of the region, changes in eu foreign policy due to the rise of geopolitics are more like to be experienced in the union s approach towards the eastern neighbourhood neighbour than anywhere else. 9780367276126 0367276127)Y;NYe#W�_�v��V����Z�^�aSKQ�e� 0ёr� O� 0pS7R�S"English Readers Of Catholic Saints6The Printing History Of William Caxton s Golden Legend'Studies In Medieval History And Culture Judy Ann Ford�In 1484, william caxton, the first publisher of english-language books, issued the golden legend, a translation of the most well-known collection of saints lives in europe.

Despite this geographic variance, they all question disordered eating practices represented in literary and filmic works. The collection ultimately redefines disorder, removing the pathology and stigma assigned to acts of non-normative eating. In so doing, the essays deem taboo practices of food consumption, rejection and avoidance as expressions of resistance and defiance in the face of restrictive sociocultural, political, and economic normativities. As a result, disorder no longer equates to "out of order", implying a sense of brokenness, but is instead envisioned as an act against the dominant of order of operations. 9781138049345 1138049344�#��N�vhQt���[�R��V�X0�`��N:gG�Responsible Global Leadership&Dilemmas, Paradoxes, And OpportunitiesWEdited By Mark E.

Many laboratories are now adopting 'probabilistic genotyping' to interpret complex dna mixtures. However, current practice is very diverse, where a whole range of technologies are used to interpret dna profiles and the software approaches advocated are commonly used throughout the world. Forensic practitioner's guide to the interpretation of complex dna profiles places the main concepts of dna profiling into context and fills a niche that is unoccupied in current literature. The book begins with an introduction to basic forensic genetics, covering a brief historical description of the development and harmonization of str markers and national dna databases. The laws of statistics are described, along with the likelihood ratio based on hardy-weinberg equilibrium and alternative models considering sub-structuring and relatedness. The historical development of low template mixture analysis, theory and practice, is also described, so the reader has a full understanding of rationale and progression. 9780128182970 0128182970 �~Heċ0O�Y�~Θi�a�ϑ�yf[Performance Evaluation0The Science Of Multidimensional Risk MeasurementFischer, Bernd�Performance evaluation, second edition, presents an updated, comprehensive exploration of portfolio evaluation.

Yet the afl-cio survived, consistently fighting for programs that benefited millions of americans, including social security, unemployment insurance, the minimum wage, and universal health care. With a membership of more than 13 million, it was also able to launch the largest labor march in american history--1981's solidarity day--and to play an important role in politics.

Reidy�As students of the civil war have long known, emancipation was not merely a product of lincoln's proclamation or of confederate defeat in april 1865. It was a process that required more than legal or military action. With enslaved people fully engaged as actors, emancipation necessitated a fundamental reordering of a way of life whose implications stretched well beyond the former slave states. Slavery did not die quietly or quickly, nor did freedom fulfill every dream of the enslaved or their allies. The process unfolded unevenly. In this sweeping reappraisal of slavery's end during the civil war era, joseph p. Reidy employs the lenses of time, space, and individuals' sense of personal and social belonging to understand how participants and witnesses coped with drastic change, its erratic pace, and its unforeseeable consequences. Emancipation disrupted everyday habits, causing sensations of disorientation that sometimes intensified the experience of reality and sometimes muddled it. 9781469648361 1469658909 9781469659763 146965976X�history & archaeology|history|military history|american civil war//social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//history & archaeology|history|military history:NlQl �b�ў�NS�e�NNWSSb�N-N�vuQy_KN�NFighting For CitizenshipGBlack Northerners And The Debate Over Military Service In The Civil War Brian Taylor�In fighting for citizenship, brian m. Taylor complicates existing interpretations of why black men fought in the civil war. Civil war - era african americans recognized the urgency of a core political concern: how best to use the opportunity presented by this conflict over slavery to win abolition and secure enduring black rights, goals that had eluded earlier generations of black veterans. Some, like frederick douglass, urged immediate enlistment to support the cause of emancipation, hoping that a northern victory would bring about the end of slavery. But others counseled patience and negotiation, drawing on a historical memory of unfulfilled promises for black military service in previous american wars and encouraging black men to leverage their position to demand abolition and equal citizenship. In doing this, they also began redefining what it meant to be a black man who fights for the united states. These debates over african americans' enlistment expose a formative moment in the development of american citizenship: black northerners' key demand was that military service earn full american citizenship, a term that had no precise definition prior to the fourteenth amendment. 9781469659770 9789212591308 9212591302�Vl&�7b�~���2018t^;N��;`ϑR�g>National Accounts Statistics: Analysis Of Main Aggregates 2018The national accounts statistics: analysis of main aggregates 2018 is the forty-ninth issue of this publication presenting a series of analytical national accounts tables for more than 200 countries and areas in the world.

In other words, this volume aims to set out an emerging agenda for the study of creativity in the cultural and media industries. Although this work focuses on the media and cultural industries, they are investigated in the context of other groups and organizations connecting forms of creativity with an explicit emphasis on turning ideas into concrete practices and products. The originality of this book lies in (1) presenting a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective that develops a new framework and analytical concepts to understand the notion of creativity in the media and cultural industries, and (2) providing a series of fresh empirically based studies of the process of creativity in fields such as advertising, fashion, animation, and pop culture. 9783030417796 3030417794 *geg;Su�v�y�gYe��#Active Education For Future DoctorsNomy Dickman; Barbara Schuster�This book is designed to aid the faculty of medical and other health related schools in developing the pedagogical skills to transform their teaching in multiple settings including the classroom, the conference room, the ambulatory office, and the hospital from a passive learning experience to an active learning experience.

AdornoAOn 6 april 1967, at the invitation of the socialist students of austria at the university of vienna, theodor w. Adorno gave a lecture which is not merely of historical interest. Against the background of the rise of the national democratic party of germany, which had enjoyed remarkable electoral success in the first two years after its formation in november 1964, adorno analysed the goals, resources and tactics of the new right-wing nationalism of this time. Contrasting it with the 'old' fascism of the nazis, adorno gave particular attention to the ways in which far-right movements elicited enthusiastic support in sections of the west german population, 20 years after the war had ended. Much has changed since then, but some elements have remained the same or resurfaced in new forms, 50 years later. Adorno's penetrating analysis of the sources of right-wing radicalism is as relevant today as it was five decades ago. It is a prescient message to future generations who find themselves embroiled once again in a struggle against a resurgent nationalism and right-wing extremism. 9781509541447 9781799824039 1799824039hQt�s�NONpeW[Sl��W-N�v�{t�IManagerial Issues In Digital Transformation Of Global Modern CorporationsThangasamy Esakki2Efficient management of managerial tasks by capable managers is essential in order to grow and remain competitive in today s global business market.

Leloudis; Robert R. Korstad�America is at war with itself over the right to vote, or, more precisely, over the question of who gets to exercise that right and under what circumstances. Conservatives speak in ominous tones of voter fraud so widespread that it threatens public trust in elected government. Progressives counter that fraud is rare and that calls for reforms such as voter id are part of a campaign to shrink the electorate and exclude some citizens from the political life of the nation. North carolina is a battleground for this debate, and its history can help us understand why--a century and a half after ratification of the fifteenth amendment--we remain a nation divided over the right to vote. In fragile democracy, james l. Leloudis and robert r. Korstad tell the story of race and voting rights, from the end of the civil war until the present day.

Thaman; Veronica Lynn�The book addresses the confidentiality of attorney-client communications as a fair trial right in criminal proceedings, pursuing a comparative approach.In the criminal law context, confidentiality between attorney and client is considered so crucial to the administration of justice that a lawyer s duty of confidentiality never ends. However, the types of communication that are covered by this privilege vary greatly from country to country, ranging from information concerning the representation of a client other than what is generally known, to more limited approaches, which only cover information on the legal defence in judicial proceedings. With regard to criminal investigations in an increasingly globalised world, where sophisticated tools enable broad digital investigations, there is an urgent need to clarify how this fundamental right is protected at both the national and supranational level. 9780367459161 0367459167$S1r\pQ)Y;NYe>yOYef[N�Ts^^yf[��~c�;NYeaS�T\���)R�S�[�Ts^�s�V�v��BlDCatholic Social Teaching And Theologies Of Peace In Northern Ireland<Cardinal Cahal Daly And The Pursuit Of The Peaceable Kingdom Maria Power�This book investigates the response of the catholic church in northern ireland to the conflict in the region during the late twentieth century. It does so through the prism of the writings of cardinal cahal daly (1917-2009), the only member of the hierarchy to serve as a bishop throughout the entire conflict. This book uses the prolific writings of cardinal daly to introduce his idea of the  peaceable kingdom and demonstrate how catholic social teaching has been used to promote peace, justice and nonviolence. It also explores the public role of the catholic church in situations of violence and conflict, as well as the importance for national churches in developing a voic< e in the public square.Finally, the book offers a reflection on the role of catholic social teaching in contemporary society and the ways in which the lessons of northern ireland can be utilised in a world where structural violence, as evidenced by austerity, and reactions to brexit in the united kingdom, is now the norm. 9780367511517 0367511517\g�l�O�eus^0`�`NW��N-N�v>yO;NINNl;NESocialism And Democracy In W.E.B. Du Bois s Life, Thought, And Legacy@Edited By Edward Carson, Gerald Horne And Phillip Luke SinitiereaCommemorating the 150th anniversary of w. E. B. Du bois s birth, the chapters in this book reflect on the local, national, and international significance of his remarkable life and legacy in relation to his specific commitments to socialism and democracy. Written with contemporary conditions in mind, such as the current political period of economic inequality, the debilitating reality of exploitative economic conditions, an expansive and invasive surveillance state, the grotesque injustice of the prison industrial complex, the ongoing crisis of police violence and the militarization of law enforcement, and a white house unashamedly spewing white supremacist, nationalist rhetoric in word and deed, this book collectively ponders how du bois s radicalism can shape and re-texture historical understanding and underscore a reflective urgency about the future. 9780367511524 1138338117 9780367433451 0367433451)Y;NYeO�[*gbt^�N�vP��_�4xd�S�^�eS*The Abuse Of Minors In The Catholic Church$Dismantling The Culture Of Cover Ups+Edited By Anthony J. Blasi And Lluis Oviedo�This book offers an academically rigorous examination of the biological, psychological, social and ecclesiastical processes that allowed sexual abuse in the catholic church to happen and then be covered up. The collected essays provide a means to better assess systemic wrongdoing in religious institutions, so that they can be more effectively held to account. An international team of contributors apply a necessarily multi-disciplinary approach to this difficult subject. Chapters look closely at the sexual abuse of minors by roman catholic clerics, explaining the complexity of this issue, which cannot be reduced to simple misconduct, sexual deviation, or a management failure alone. The book will help the reader to better understand the social, organizational, and cultural processes in the church over recent decades, as well as the intricate world of beliefs, moral rules, and behaviours. 9780128167151 0128167157���w�R�]�u�l�vup;m�^(u��_���l�u�e�l5Flexible Applications Of Cognitive Processing Therapy Evidence-based Treatment MethodsGalovski, Tara_Flexible applications of cognitive processing therapy: evidence-based treatment methods provides a detailed roadmap on how to apply therapy to a wide-range of complex patients.

Establishing new identities and new power relationships, empires also irrevocably altered social structures and the material culture on which those social structures were partly based. The political activities of empires are materially reflected in the movement of objects from periphery to center (and vice versa) and in the formation and display of collections which represent the potentia< l for the production and the dissemination of knowledge. Imperial collecting practices tell stories that are complementary to and go beyond the classical sources of official history, the statistics of social history and even the narratives of collective or individual oral history. Building on previous work on european and colonial object histories, this collection of essays for the first time approaches the subject of collecting and empires from a global and inclusive comparative perspective by addressing selection of the greatest empires the world has known from han china to hellenistic greece to aztec mexico to the third reich. 9781780688336 1780688334:S�W�NCg�lb��v�eS�]_�T�~Nm�R�RMCultural Difference And Economic Disadvantage In Regional Human Rights Courts(Intersentia Studies On Courts And JudgesDavid]This book critically examines the compartmentalised legal thinking through which cases concerning cultural and economic interests tend to be presented and decided in regional human rights courts.

VasudevanDIn this provocative new book, shritha vasudevan argues that feminist international relations (ir) theory has inadvertently resulted in a biased worldview, the very opposite of what feminist ir set out to try to rectify. This book contests theoretical presumptions of western feminist ir and attempts to reformulate it in contexts of non-western cultures. Vasudevan deftly utilizes the theoretical constructs of ir to explore the ramifications for india. This hypothesis argues that the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (cedaw) has predictive validity and is not a top-down norm but derived from the material and contingent experiences of nation states. This book enters the debate between feminist qualitative and quantitative ir through the lens of gender-based violence (gbv) under the cedaw. 9783030426705 303042670X#law of the sea/ air and outer spacehQtcbNwm m�l(Global Challenges And The Law Of The Sea?Marta Chantal Ribeiro; Fernando Loureiro Bastos; Tore Henriksen�This book analyses a selection of challenges in the implementation and application of the 1982 un convention on the law of the sea (unclos), focusing on several areas: international organizations, fisheries, security, preserving marine biodiversity, dispute settlement, and interaction with other areas of international law.Unclos has been described as the constitution for the oceans. It sets out the fundamental rights, obligations and jurisdictions of states regarding the access to, uses and management of the oceans and seas and their resources. It balances states diverse and sometimes conflicting interests, such as conflicting uses of space, against navigational interests and the protection of the marine environment. Unclos is the first global treaty to include comprehensive obligations on the protection and preservation of the marine environment, including the conservation of living marine resources. These are often common or cross-border challenges, which can only be addressed through international cooperation.The book is divided into three thematic parts. The first concerns the role of international organizations in ocean governance. 9781469659961 1469659964�social studies|society & culture: general|social groups|ethnic studies//art/ photography & architecture|history of art / art & design styles|art styles not defined by date//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas/Ɖɉs^I{�AS]NN�~�v^�Ԉ��V�NCg)RNƉɉ�eSVisualizing EqualityDAfrican American Rights And Visual Culture In The Nineteenth CenturyAston GonzalezqThe fight for racial equality in the nineteenth century played out not only in marches and political conventions but also in the print and visual culture created and disseminated throughout the united states by african americans. Advances in visual technologies--daguerreotypes, lithographs, cartes de visite, and steam printing presses--enabled people to see and participate in social reform movements in new ways. African american activists seized these opportunities and produced images that advanced campaigns for black rights. In this book, aston gonzalez charts the changing roles of african american visual artists as they helped build the world they envisioned. Understudied artists such as robert douglass jr., patrick he< nry reason, james presley ball, and augustus washington produced images to persuade viewers of the necessity for racial equality, black political leadership, and freedom from slavery. Moreover, these artist activists' networks of transatlantic patronage and travels to europe, the caribbean, and africa reveal their extensive involvement in the most pressing concerns for black people in the atlantic world. 9781469659954 9781469659350 1469659352�performing arts|music|music reviews & criticism//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//performing arts|music|theory of music & musicology//social studies|society & culture: general|cultural studies|popular cult*NekN*N�pS�SaSWeg�~�]AmL��PN�vEe�N ��N�wP[�[�R�T�l�h;Su0R<\Z���Z�T���~^�TStep It Up And GomThe Story Of North Carolina Popular Music, From Blind Boy Fuller And Doc Watson To Nina Simone And Superchunk David Menconi�This book is a love letter to the many artists, scenes, and sounds that define north carolina's extraordinary contributions to american popular music.

This book is divided into three main parts. Beginning with the political discovery of the inexhaustibility of persons, it then explores the philosophic differentiation of the idea of the  person, and finally traces its historical emergence through art, science, and faith. Walsh argues that, although the roots of the idea of  person are found in the greek concept of the mind and in the christian conception of the soul, this notion is ultimately a distinctly modern achievement, because it is only the modern turn toward interiority that illuminated the unique nature of persons as each being a world unto him or herself. As walsh shows, it is precisely this feature of persons that makes it possible for us to know and communicate with others, for we can only give and receive one another as persons. In this way alone can we became friends and, in friendship, build community. 9780268107383 9781487503819 1487503814sliterary studies \ hispanic literature/ hispanic studies \ hispanic literature/ hispanic studies \ hispanic historyُ}^up,��v׋Lk:Am�N�v��sYrqQ�T�V׋�N�v�S�S�T���_This Ghostly Poetry5History And Memory Of Exiled Spanish Republican PoetsAguirre-otezia, Daniel�The spanish civil war was idealized as a poet s war. The thousands of poems written about the conflict are memorable evidence of poetry s high cultural and political value in those historical conditions. After franco s victory and the repression that followed, numerous republican exiles relied on the symbolic agency of poetry to uphold a sense of national identity. Exilic poems are often read as claim-making narratives that fit national literary history. This ghostly poetry critiques this conventional understanding of literary history by arguing that exilic poems invite readers to seek continuity with a traumatic past just as they prevent their narrative articulation. The book uses the figure of the ghost to address temporal challenges to historical continuity brought about by memory, tracing the discordant, disruptive ways in which memory is interwoven with history in poems written in exile. 9783030395964 3030395960�'kb�Ng��NbT�e8n 1916-19607Inter And Post-war Tourism In Western Europe, 1916-1960.Carmelo Pellejero Mart�nez; Marta Luque ArandabThis edited collection is a novel book with contributions from eleven expert researchers on the history of tourism in europe.

It also investigates an associated tension between different modes of discourse relating to the divine or the ultimate positive (cataphatic) discourse and negative (apophatic) discourse. Both of these modes of discourse are closely related to different ways of understanding the immanence and transcendence of the divine or the ultimate. Through close studies of bonaventure and chinul, the book presents a unique dialogue between christianity and buddhism and between west and east. 9783030419196 3030419193NLu8�fN0W�elQqQ)R�v�8�f�1uSN�V�[�v�{;NCg%World Trade And Local Public Interest8Trade Liberalization And National Regulatory Sovereignty/Studies In European Economic Law And RegulationCsongor Istv�n Nagy&Trade liberalization has shaped international economic relations since the conclusion of the gatt 1947.

Aiken-wisniewski; Rich Whitney; Deborah J. Taub0Program development is central to the work of student affairs professionals, yet the field has not prioritized the development of competency in this area. This theory-to-practice, sequential guide to program development fills that gap in the literature. The authors describe the elements of program planning and delivery from the inception of the idea through the use of assessment to revise and improve the program for the future. Whether a new professional or a seasoned leader, this volume offers the reader a deeper understanding of program development. Starting with a foundational understanding of this process, the book proceeds to a step-by-step process, taking a program from an idea to a proposal with goals, objectives, budget, and timeline with tasks, and beyond planning to implementation. The book concludes with stressing the importance of assessment as the program continues to develop over time. Each chapter applies program development concepts through program examples. Finally, the authors leave readers with tools and templates to support the process. 9781620368749 9781644694329 1644694328�biography & true stories//literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: general|literary studies: from c 1900 ///literature & literary studies|literature: history & criticism|literary studies: poetry & poets//literature &�N{~{ T N�p:�~^�[�v�O �,{N�RAutographs Don't BurnLetters To The Bunins, Part 1Vera Tsareva-brauner�Three handwritten lines found inside a 1925 first edition of ivan bunin's mitya's love led to a cache of letters, published here for the firs< t time, written to bunin and his wife vera by two russian emigres forgotten by history.

Historically, iran served as a bridge between the earlier near eastern cultures and the later classical world of the mediterranean, and had a profound influence on political, military, economic, and cultural aspects of the ancient world. Written by international scholars and drawing mainly on the field of practical archaeology, which traditionally has shared little in the way of theories and methods, the book provides crucial pieces to the puzzle of the national identity of iranian cultures from a historical perspective.Revealing the wealth and splendor of ancient iranian society  its rich archaeological data and sophisticated artistic craftsmanship  most of which has never before been presented outside of iran, this beautifully illustrated book presents a range of studies addressing specific aspects of iranian archaeology to show why the artistic masterpieces of ancient iranians rank among the finest ever produced. 9781644693636 1644693631 �'Y� m�v�OW�e�r*Y�N��NASN�~ NJS�Sa,{�~��e�b�vaƋb_`KN�e~Transatlantic Russian Jewishness: Ideological Voyages Of The Yiddish Daily Forverts In The First Half Of The Twentieth Century0Jews Of Russia & Eastern Europe And Their LegacyGennady Estraikh�In the early decades of the twentieth century, tens of thousands of yiddish speaking immigrants actively participated in the american socialist and labor movement.

Analyzing the effects neoliberalism has had on community colleges, the text charters discourse relating the erosion of faculty voice in academic governance, and decision making; the vocationalization of curriculum; and the impact that these factors have had on the ability of community colleges to provide students with an education that supports a democratic society. Exposing a movement away from the historical aims of community-based education, the text evidences a hijacking of community colleges to serve the objectives of the corporate elite. There has been a decline in community college faculty engagement in shared governance and their loss of recognition as academic and curricular leaders, and the book discusses the potential for redistribution of decision-making power back toward faculty. 9780367860455 9780367496562 0367496569��V�]�k&O�yrgnfMRT�v�WcwYeNl;NAmerican Babylon1Christianity And Democracy Before And After TrumpRoutledge Focus On ReligionPhilip S.

It explains how and<  when christianity and democracy have and have not gone together over the course of european history; why they have generally been complementary for most of america s history and why that complementarity is gradually giving way to antagonism. The author then explores why this antagonism is threat not only to american democracy but also to american christianity; and why conservative christians and secular progressives must learn to respect one another again. 9781469661438 1469661438�biography & true stories//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//social studies|society & culture: general|social issues & processes|social discrimination 0q\��W!X:sQ�N �@g0�y�e�T�Tyr_WS�e�vw�[Ee�N 0 Goat Castle2A True Story Of Murder, Race, And The Gothic South Karen L. Cox�In 1932, the city of natchez, mississippi, reckoned with an unexpected influx of journalists and tourists as the lurid story of a local murder was splashed across headlines nationwide. Two eccentrics, richard dana and octavia dockery - known in the press as the ""wild man"" and the ""goat woman"" - enlisted an african american man named george pearls to rob their reclusive neighbor, jennie merrill, at her estate. During the attempted robbery, merrill was shot and killed. The crime drew national coverage when it came to light that dana and dockery, the alleged murderers, shared their huge, decaying antebellum mansion with their goats and other livestock, which prompted journalists to call the estate ""goat castle."" pearls was killed by an arkansas policeman in an unrelated incident before he could face trial. However, as was all too typical in the jim crow south, the white community demanded ""justice,"" and an innocent black woman named emily burns was ultimately sent to prison for the murder of merrill. Dana and dockery not only avoided punishment but also lived to profit from the notoriety of the murder by opening their derelict home to tourists. 9781681406206 1681406209�education|schools|pre/school & kindergarten//young adult/ children's & educational|educational material//young adult/ children's & educational|educational material//mathematics & science|science: general issues\STEMYef[��eQK-2��X=Integrating Stem Teaching And Learning Into The K-2 Classroom-Jo Anne Vasquez; Michael Comer; Jen GutierrezzHere's proof that stem (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) isn't just for the big kids! this book's 10 chapters are a mini-course on blending authentic, phenomena-driven, integrated stem teaching and learning into busy k-2 classrooms.

Rarely do we find a case of 'philosophy' being determined in the real world. However, at cambridge in 1992, this is exactly what happened, as a debate took place over the merits, or otherwise, of awarding an honorary doctorate of letters to the philosopher jacques derrida. Derrida's supporters argued that his deconstruction of western traditions of thinking ushered in an important new manner of doing philosophy; his detractors dismissed his work as charlatanism, philistinism - and non-philosophy. As arguments raged over the validity of introducing the canon of continental philosophy to the humanities in british higher education - the so-called 'theory wars' - derrida's 'cambridge affair' focalized this decisive conflict more than anything else. 9780367332709 0367332701ƖSO�`ZN�NCg�l�㉳Q�VE��l-N�vzz}v*Collective Punishment And Human Rights Law$Addressing Gaps In International LawCornelia KlockerTThis book analyses collective punishment in the context of human rights law. Collective punishment is a concept deriving from the law of armed conflict. It describes the punishment of a group for an act allegedly committed by one of its members and is prohibited in times of armed conflict. Although the imposition of collective punishment has been witnessed in situations outside armed conflict as well, human rights instruments do not explicitly address collective punishment. Consequently, there is a genuine gap in the protection of affected groups in situations outside of or short of armed conflict. Supported by two case studies on collective punishment in the occupied palestinian territories and in chechnya, the book examines potential options to close this gap in human rights law in a way contributing to the empowerment of affected groups. 9780367862275 0367862271#5��eqQ�T�V�v��O?e�lf[�-NN�~ZfgN�s�N�egZ<\�e�v?e�l�Q�zN>yO�z�N,Popular Politics In An Aristocratic RepublicSPolitical Conflict And Social Contestation In Late Medieval And Early Modern VeniceThe Body In The City:Edited By Maartje Van Gelder And Claire Judde De Larivi�re&Popular politics in an aristocratic republic explores the different aspects of political actions and experiences in late medieval and early modern venice.The book challenges the idea that the city of venice knew no political conflict and social contestation during the medieval and early modern periods.

Niggol�The economics of globally shared and public goods responds to an urgent need to consolidate and upgrade the economic theories and explanations related to these shared resources. Making a clear distinction between theory and empirics, it concentrates on the problem of global public goods provision while incorporating insights from behavioral economics. Its comprehensive and technical review of existing theoretical models of global public goods and their empirical results illuminate those models in practice. Relevant for economists and others working on issues of global public goods such as climate change and disease eradication, the economics of globally shared and public goods provides a path toward greater co-operation and shared successes. 9781786304209 1786304201��*��]�SThe Trace FactoryYves Jeanneret�The collection and treatment of traces which reveal who we are and what we do naturally piques our interest when it pertains to others, and anxiety when it concerns ourselves. Do we truly know what a trace is? and if knowledge is power, how vulnerable are we in the public sphere? the demonstrability of a trace hides the complexity of the process that allows it to be produced, interpreted and used. This book proposes a reasoned approach to the analysis of the trace as an object and as a sign. By following such an approach, the reader will understand how the media participates in the creation and deployment of traces, and the issues raised by what can be traced on social media. The trace factory offers a historical perspective, returning to the founding theories of collecting and producing traces linked to knowledge and power in society. Observing technology and information through the prism of these theories, a large number of devices and their uses are evaluated. This book offers itself as a tool of thought and work for researchers, professionals and social actors of all kinds who are confronted with the existence, treatment and interpretation of the traces of society and culture. 9789811520662 9811520666of‰K�Cg��[�X�^�]�S:NňM��~�]�NR �b` Y'`�s�X�v�SN_�����e�lLandscape EmpowermentsA Participatory Design Approach To Create Restorative Environments For Assembly Line Workers In The Foxconn Factory Bin Jiang this book discusses essential strategies and approaches to creating mentally restorative environments for highly stressed and depressed workers at sweatshop factories.

Many have suffered electoral debacles, as in france, italy and greece, while mainstream political parties in the uk and the us have found themselves struggling to cope with outcomes - in the form of brexit and the election of trump - that were not anticipated. We are witnessing nothing less than the exhaustion of a century-old cleavage between traditional left and right parties due to their inability to perceive and tackle present-day challenges, such as declining social mobility, mounting environmental crises, rising geographic inequality, tensions over migration and multiculturalism, etc. The 'populists', from salvini and le pen to trump and bolsonaro, were the first to understand this and supply an alternative. But contrary to what many observers now predict, we are not doomed to witness the replacement of the ancient political order by the populists' rise to power. In france, emmanuel macron launched a new movement that stopped them. 9781509541416 1509536531 9781469660264 1469660261�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history//business/ management & finance|business & management|management of specific areas|personnel & human resources management�T�Y��yrKNkp��^�N�|ߘ ��^�N?e�^�T�^�Nu;m�v�`gREe�NThe Hamlet Fire?A Tragic Story Of Cheap Food, Cheap Government, And Cheap Lives Bryant Simon�For decades, the small, quiet town of hamlet, north carolina, thrived thanks to the railroad. But by the 1970s, it had become a postindustrial backwater, a magnet for businesses in search of cheap labor and almost no oversight. Imperial food products was one of those businesses. The company set up shop in hamlet in the 1980s. Workers who complained about low pay and hazardous working conditions at the plant were silenced or fired. But jobs were scarce in town, so workers kept coming back, and the company continued to operate with impunity. Then, on the morning of september 3, 1991, the never-inspected chicken-processing plant a stone's throw from hamlet's city hall burst into flames. Twenty-five people perished that day behind the plant's locked and bolted doors. It remains one of the deadliest accidents ever in the history of the modern american food industry. Eighty years after the triangle shirtwaist fire, industrial disasters were supposed to have been a thing of the past in the united states. 9781681407357 1681407353|education|schools//young adult/ children's & educational|educational material//mathematics & science|science: general issues!irt����q��Rf[u�[���[Kb�Q �,{2wS�9-12t^�~�v5u�T�x�[���[xvz<Electricity And Magnetism Lab Investigations For Grades 9-12gTodd L.

It brings the sum of the author's decades of experience and engagement with inuit and inuktitut to bear on what he fashions as an amiable, leisurely stroll through words and meanings. Inuit words are often more complex than english words and frequently contain small units of meaning that add up to convey a larger sensibility. Dorais' lexical and semantic analyses and reconstructions are not overly technical, yet they reliably evince connections and underlying significations that allow for an in-depth reflection on the richness of inuit linguistic and cultural heritage and identity. An appendix on the polysynthetic character on inuit languages includes more detailed grammatical description of interest to more specialist reader< s.Organized thematically, the book tours the histories and meanings of the words to illuminate numerous aspects of inuit culture, including environment and the land; animals and subsistence activities; humans and spirits; family, kinship, and naming; the human body; and socializing with other people in the contemporary world. 1620369389 1642671487 9781119689652 1119689651xvzu�{tNNeQf[�Ջ�[�ecWS 2021 WYň�fNM|N(W�~/Gmat Official Guide 2021 Bundle: Books + Online{Gmat(tm) official guide 2021 bundle best value! get all three guides in one bundle: gmat official guide, verbal and quantitative review study with confidence.

Existing research in this area has focussed on the prohibition of sexual minorities in militaries and the likely impacts of their integration, and suggests that this integration should be evaluated in terms of whether it subverts gendered power relations within the institution.This book moves beyond this approach, using queer deconstructive analytical strategies to examine how the military produces gendered subjects. The author argues that the integration of sexual minorities into the military is not inherently subversive of the military gender order but that this does not mean they have been successfully co-opted either. This is because attempts to integrate sexual minorities into the military gender order are unstable and open to contestation. Ultimately the book argues that  queering the military gender order in this way reveals the limits of any attempt to order and regulate gender, which opens up radical new ways to think about feminist critique and praxis. 9789811534874 981153487Xt��N�[���vs^I{�&Ot�[�U�vS��_��ncEquality In Theory And Practice)A Moral Argument For Ethical ImprovementsRonald Francis"This book is an account of the concept of equality from the perspective of both theory and practice, and presents methods of quantifying values. It considers both arguments and evidence, and tackles equality in its different forms, including economic equality, education, equality before the law, equality of opportunity, and gender equality.The book shows that inequality is a profoundly moral question, noting that there are good practical reasons for its adoption. It presents a consideration of classical theories from aristotle to hume, as well as contemporary approaches such as those offered by rawls, haidt, temkin, and parfit. It also contemplates issues such as the naturalistic fallacy, and considers what is different about the goleman view of moral sensitivity and the ethical personality. 9789811534645 9811534640��V�v�SU\�r�QThe Korean Developmental State Kyung Mi Kim�This book analyzes, from a historical comparative perspective, the korean economic development model, the extent to which it has changed from its classical model, and what constitutes its changes and continuity. Unlike studies claims the dissolution of korean developmentalism, the book holds that the korean state maintains its characteristics of state-led capitalism despite significant changes in policies and instruments rather than converge toward an anglosaxon-style free market system. It emphasizes that the continuity of state-led capitalism is compatible with institutional change. Some institutionalists insist that the continuity of korean developmentalism is based on path dependency. In contrast, this book argues that korean capitalism could sustain its state developmentalism by changes in policies and instruments to improve national industrial competitiveness in the changed context of international competition. 9783030412869 3030412865policing�yf[f��RScience Informed Policing<Advanced Sciences And Technologies For Security Applications+Bryanna Fox; Joan A.

Criminals are innovating in real-time leveraging cyber, social media, enhanced surveillance to support their activities. In so doing, the criminal landscape has become transnational whereby collaborative networks have flourished thereby creating greater complexity and novel threats for the international policing community. As new threats to local, regional, national and global security are emerging, leveraging science and technology innovations has become more important. Advances in big data analytics, cyber forensics, surveillance, modeling and simulation has led to a more data driven, hypothesis generated and model informed approach. Novel science and technology innovations are presented in this edited book to provide insights and pathways that challenges the emerging and complex criminal threat landscape by supporting policing operations. 9783030433833 3030433838 penc�yf[Nu�N�RR�g'Data Science And Productivity Analytics'Vincent Charles; Juan Aparicio; Joe Zhu�This book includes a spectrum of concepts, such as performance, productivity, operations research, econometrics, and data science, for the practically and theoretically important areas of  productivity analysis/data envelopment analysis and  data science/big data .

Its satiric cleverness and metatheatricality have delighted audiences from its first performance to the present day; readers and play-goers are swept up in the schemes of a fake alchemist and other determined fraudsters whose scams appear to offer easy wealth and immortality to their morally compromised victims. While no characters emerge unscathed by jonson's satire, and while alchemy itself is revealed as most likely a sham, the play is nonetheless a tribute to the transformative - indeed, the alchemical-powers of the theater.This edition includes a helpful introduction to the play, including discussion of its performance history and background information on alchemy. Thorough annotations to the text are also provided, as are contextual materials, including a selection of jonson's sources, further materials on alchemy, and an example of the 'rogue' or 'coney-catching' literature that informs jonson's portrayal of the grifters in the play. 9781138349476 113834947X�bN�2mN O�k)R�N5uq_b�-N�W�N'`+R�v�f�R;Gender-based Violence In Latin American And Iberian CinemasKEdited By Rebeca Maseda Garc�a, Mar�a Jos� G�mez Fuentes And Barbara Zecchi*Gender-based violence in latin american and iberian cinemas rethinks the intersection between violence and its gendered representation.This is a groundbreaking contribution to the international debate on the cinematic construction of gender-based violence.

It stood for a strong affirmation of tauhid (unity of god), the efficacy of ijtihad (the right of further interpretation of the quran and the sunnah, or of forming a new opinion by applying analogy) and the rejection of bid'at (innovation). It remained active for half a century.
sayyid ahmad's writings show an awareness of the increasing british presence in the country and he regarded british india as a daru'l harb (abode of war). In 1826 he migrated and established an operational base in the independent tribal belt of the north western frontier area. After his death in the battle of balakote, the movement slackened for some time but his adherents particularly wilayet ali and enayat ali of patna revived the work and broad-based its activities. 9781793605214 17936052114l ��O���T>yOckIN�sQ.��v��T:Water, Rhetoric, And Social Justice: A Critical Confluence<Environmental Communication And Nature: Conflict And Ecocult�Casey R Schmitt; Theresa R Castor; Christopher S Thomas; Mostafa Aniss; Joshua Trey Barnett; Elizabeth Brunner; Catherine J Bruns; Theresa R Castor; Jordan Christiansen; Emilie FalcWater, rhetoric, and social justice: a critical confluence examines how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to present day water crises as matters of social justice, through oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication methods and perspe< ctives to interrogate the pressing yet mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of justice, liberty, and equity.

This study builds on recent scholarship on women's activism in the arab world, in the context of the arab spring. It examines how discourses of secularism and equal civil rights have informed the contemporary lebanese women's movement in their campaigns for a domestic violence law, women's nationality rights, a women's quota in parliament, the reform of personal status law and the recognition of civil marriage. This book argues that women are caught between sect and nation, due to lebanon's plural legal system, which makes a division between religious and civil law. While both jurisdictions allocate women relational rights, guided by the logic of patrilineal descent, women's inequality is central to the reproduction of sectarian difference and patriarchal control within the confessional political system, as a whole. 9781793600332 1793600333 WS�e�v�S'`�N�b:N7u�N$Trans Men In The South: Becoming Men9Breaking Boundaries: New Horizons In Gender & SexualitiesBaker A.

Focusing on production and distribution as well as the series and their reception, the chapters analyse how this small nation production culture was suddenly regarded as an example of best practice in the international television industries, and how the distribution and branding of particular series  such as forbrydelsen/the killing, borgen and bron/the bridge  led to dedicated audiences around the world. Discussing issues such as cultural proximity, transnationalism and glocalisation, the chapters investigate the complex interplays between the national and international in the television industries and the global lessons learned from the way in which screen ideas, production frameworks and public service content from denmark suddenly managed to travel widely. 9783030449346 3030449343history of education��VNLu-N�v�YsY0Cg�RsQ�|NYe��>Women, Power Relations, And Education In A Transnational WorldGlobal Histories Of Education"Christine Mayer; Adelina ArredondoAThis edited collection addresses the nexus of gender, power relations, and education from various angles while covering a broad spectrum of the history of education in both time and geographic space. Taking the position that historians of gender and education find the concept of transnationalism very useful for a deeper understanding of historical change and situations, the editors and their contributors employ a transnational perspective to explore the complex and entangled dimensions of a history of education that transcends regional and national boundaries through a variety of approaches (e.G. Through exploring new fields of research, sources, questions, perspectives for interpretation, or methodologies). In doing so, they also undertake to open up a transnational global perspective for the historiography of education. 9783030398972 3030398978T�XfWN�v?QP[ lQCQ337-361�(WT�XfWNN1g)R�[�v4�q_ N#The Sons Of Constantine, Ad 337-361(In The Shadows Of Constantine And Julian/New Approaches To Byzantine History And Culture&Nicholas J. Baker-brian; Shaun Tougher441NThis edited collection focuses on the roman empire during the period from ad 337 to 361. During this period the empire was ruled by three brothers: constantine ii (337-340), constans i (337-350) and constantius ii (337-361). These emperors tend to be cast into shadow by their famous father constantine, the first christian roman emperor (306-337), and their famous cousin julian, the last pagan roman emperor (361-363). The traditional concentration on the historically renowned figures of constantine and julian is understandable but comes at a significant price: the neglect of the period between the death of constantine and the reign of julian and of the rulers who governed the empire in this period. The reigns of the sons of constantine, especially that of the longest-lived constantius ii, mark a moment of great historical significance. 9783030426064 3030426068�[�^�f�RN�N�[4O�O�f�R�v�R`0Dynamics Of Family And Intimate Partner Violence7Irene Hanson Frieze; Christina E.

The president of the united states has withdrawn from the disarmament treaty with russia, europe is disintegrating, china is surging forward and a wave of nationalism and populism is destabilizing established political institutions and endangering hard-won liberties. In view of this dangerous and unpredictable state of affairs, mikhail gorbachev, the last great statesman of the 1989 revolution, has written this short book to warn us of the grave risks we now face and to urge us all, political leaders and citizens alike, to take action to address them. He focusses on the big challenges of our time, such as the renewal of the arms race and the growing risks of nuclear war, the new tension between russia and the west, the global environmental crisis, the rise of populism and the decline of democracy. He argues that self-serving policies and narrow-minded politics aimed at the pursuit of national interests are taking the place of political principles and overshadowing the vision of a free and just world for all peoples. 9781509537662 150953766X�Tf[�Q�QPhilosophy SmackdownDouglas EdwardsGFrom its carnival origins to its current status as a global phenomenon, pro wrestling has a unique presence in popular culture. Part sport and part theatre, the impressive antics of its larger-than-life characters have captured the imaginations of generations of fans, and prompted endless speculation about behind-the-scenes machinations. Philosophy smackdown is a study of pro wrestling as distinctive as pro wrestling itself: it is the first philosophical look at this major cultural spectacle. Philosopher and fan douglas edwards takes both philosophy and pro wrestling to parts unknown. With liveliness, humor and insight, he shows that pro wrestling is fertile ground for reflection on fundamental human issues, such as reality, freedom, identity, morality, justice, and meaning. He explores these through pivotal events in pro wrestling, from the eighties heyday of hulkamania to the recent emergence of aew. Philosophy smackdown is a read that will delight philosophers and pro wrestling fans alike.

The choice of food crop for a region is primarily determined by the conditions of climate and soil. Once labelled as orphan crops, millets and pseudo-cereals are now known as miracle grains due to their adaptation to harsh conditions and high nutritional quality. Small millets and pseudo-cereals are now seen to occupy special niches through their ability to adapt to challenging conditions. These crops have a comparative advantage in marginal lands where they withstand stress conditions and contribute to sustainable production. They also contribute to the diversity-richness and production stability of agro-ecosystems. Millets include sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, barnyard millet, little millet and kodo millet while the other group which are not cereals but consumed as cereals and generally referred as pseudo-cereals comprises of grain amaranths, buckwheat and chenopods. 9780674241640 0674241649philosophy / politics �S/f�ef�RgkN�[�[�vLuP� Mere Civility)Disagreement And The Limits Of TolerationBejan, Teresa M.]In liberal democracies committed to tolerating diversity as well as disagreement, the loss of civility in the public sphere seems critical.

During this turbulent period, a u.S. Military officer stationed in the territory assembled an album of photographs, a series of still shots taken by one or more anonymous photographers. Now, some 150 years later, hardship, greed, and sorrow reproduces the anonymous officer's "souvenir album" in its totality. Offering an important glimpse of the american southwest in the mid-1860s, the book opens with a thoughtful foreword by jennifer nez denetdale, who considers the varied and lingering effects that settlement, conquest, and nineteenth-century photography had on the apaches and navajos. In her insightful introduction accompanying the photographs, curator and scholar devorah romanek places the photographs in historical context and explains their unusual provenance. As she points out, the 1866 album integrates a number of important themes in connection to the civil war and reconstruction periods, including the french intervention in new mexico and the internment of navajos at the bosque redondo indian reservation. 9780875657158 087565715X�bisac category: humor | form | comic strips & cartoons / art | art & politics / history | united states | state & local / southwest 5u�bKNf��TW�_�gh�v+o;uThe Star Of The TelegramThe Cartoons Of Harold Maples Devin Mccue�This coffee table book takes a look back at some of the most interesting and engaging drawings by harold maples, the long-time political cartoonist for the fort worth star-telegram.

Their journey into the wilderness led to the founding of a settlement now known as nashville - over 1,000 river miles away. In the fall of 2016, photographer john guider retraced the donelson party 17's journey in his hand-built 14 1/2' motorless rowing sailboat while making a visual documentation of the river as it currently exists 240 years later.This photo book contains more than 120 striking images from the course of the journey, allowing the reader to see how much has changed and how much has remained untouched in the tw< o and a half centuries since donelson first took to the water. Equally significant, the essays include long-ignored contemporary histories of both the cherokee who donelson encountered and the slaves he brought with him, some of whom did not survive the journey. Guider, a professional photographer, has created images of every point in the thousand-mile journey from a platform just a few feet above the waterline of three of tennessee's most notable rivers. 9780813233130 0813233135:N^yf[b�YeXT�vb_b�^���vcWS:4OOY ��SN ��Tċ�N2A Guide To Formation Advising For Seminary Faculty,Accompaniment, Participation, And Evaluation 9780367504175 0367504170NS�N�e0W:S;NIN?e�l�~Nmf[��R�RN�w�v:The Political Economy Of New Regionalism In Northeast AsiaDynamics And Contradictions5Routledge Advances In International Political EconomyCChang Jae Lee, You-il Lee, John Benson, Ying Zhu And Yoon-jong JangfThe book is the first attempt to offer a holistic and integrated exploration of the political-economic framework underpinning economic regionalism.

However, there are still many problems behind this prosperity. For example, much of the research lacks theoretical intervention and neglects perspectives of linguistic theories. This book, a trailblazer for academic researchers in the fields of language policy and systemic functional linguistics (sfl) as appliable linguistics, examines language policy from the perspective of sfl, which could provide different angles for language policy and offer a valuable attempt to test sfl as appliable linguistics.This book also explores many typical controversial issues in chinese language policy with an sfl approach, such as ongoing conflicts between putonghua and dialects. It not only addresses authentic problems emerging from the implementation process of chinese language policy, but also has produced some feasible and customized suggestions to improve chinese language policy. 9781138218840 9780367520298 036752029X-N�Vfk/g�S!A History Of Chinese Martial Arts$Routledge Research In Sports History"Edited By Fuhua Huang And Fan HongGChinese martial arts have a long, meaningful history and deep cultural roots.

The church fathers efforts to demarcate an exclusively christian virginity, in contrast to the  false virgins of their pagan adversaries, displays a tension that, it is argued, played a larger role in the construction of a specifically christian sacred virginity than previous studies have acknowledged.Late fourth-century christian theologians persistent appraisals of sacred virgins paved the way for a wide variety of virgins that often challenged the stereotype of the unmarried female virgin. 97814724801706���'Yf[,&Ofe'Yf[,�R�]/OKQ)R'Yf[,�efW�y'Yf[,nf�g�e�'Yf[ 9780367499464 0367499460ؚI{Ye��-N�v'`N�[YeYef[�SO�sf[`N0R$OOeaYe��f[NƉ҉l�bc3Teaching Sexuality And Religion In Higher EducationLEmbodied Learning, Trauma Sensitive Pedagogy, And Perspective Transformation,Routledge Research In Religion And Education)Edited By Darryl W.

Corporations and other business enterprises often operate in countries affected by conflict or repressive regimes. As such, they may become involved in human rights violations and crimes under international law - either as the main perpetrators, or as accomplices by aiding and abetting government actors. Transitional justice mechanisms, such as trials, truth commissions, and reparations have usually focused on abuses by state authorities or by non-state actors directly connected to the state, such as paramilitary groups. Innovative transitional justice mechanisms have, however, now started to address corporate accountability for human rights abuses and crimes under international law and have attempted to provide redress for victims. This book analyses this development assessing how transitional justice can provide remedies for corporate human rights abuses and crimes under international law. 9780367376024 9780367496982 0367496984  O�epQ�lN�VE�FU�N�N��4Islamic Law And International Commercial ArbitrationIslamic Law In Context Maria Bhatti*This book examines the intersection between contemporary international commercial arbitration and shari�a law in order to determine possible tensions that may arise between the two systems.

The book also explores the prohibition against riba in light of international conventions, such as the united nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods. Case studies in the book include the asian international arbitration centre, formerly the kuala lumpur regional centre for arbitration, and the international islamic centre for reconciliation and arbitration, as well as the  shari a standards developed by the accounting and auditing organization for islamic financial institutions. 9781138604254 9781476682235 1476682232 ��V�Qb-N�v/U�_;NIN&Spiritualism In The American Civil WarR Gregory LandeeAmerica's civil war took a dreadful toll on human lives, and the emotional repercussions were exacerbated by tales of battlefield atrocities, improper burials and by the lack of news that many received about the fate of their loved ones. Amidst widespread religious doubt and social skepticism, spiritualism--the belief that the spirits of the dead existed and could communicate with the living--filled a psychological void by providing a pathway towards closure during a time of mourning, and by promising an eternal reunion in the afterlife regardless of earthly sins. Primary research, including 55 months of the weekly spiritual newspaper, the banner of light and records of hundreds of soldiers' and family members' spirit messages, reveals unique insights into battlefield deaths, the transition to spirit life, and the motivations prompting ethereal communications. This book focuses extensively on spiritualism's religious, political, and commercial activities during the war years, as well as the controversies surrounding the faith, strengthening the connection between ante- and postbellum studies of spiritualism. 9781476678627 1476678626phistory & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//history & archaeology|history ��_�e nfyrWS\�Q�TN�l NS�v��v��-^�Q�N�] z^�T �O�N�OKN6r General Rufus PutnamCGeorge Washington's Chief Military Engineer And The "father Of OhioRobert Ernest Hubbard During the american revolutionary war, rufus putnam served as the continental army's chief military engineer.

Cultural heritage has always been a victim of conflict, with monuments and artefacts frequently destroyed as collateral damage in wars throughout history. In addition, works of art have been viewed as booty by victors and stolen in the aftermath of conflict. However, deliberate destruction of cultural sites and items has also occurred, and the intentional destruction of cultural heritage has been a hallmark of recent conflicts in the middle east and north africa, where we have witnessed unprecedented, systematic attacks on culture as a weapon of war. In iraq, syria, libya, yemen, and mali, extremist groups such as isis and ansar dine have committed numerous acts of iconoclasm, deliberately destroying heritage sites, and looting valuable artefacts symbolic of minority cultures. 0367468832 9781476680422 1476680426�history & archaeology|history|military history//art/ photography & architecture|architecture//social studies|warfare & defence//history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|european historyw�pQ��^X��NWl��e�N0R�Qb�v�c�V�S�SDutch Fortifications9An Illustrated History From The Roman Era To The Cold WarJean-denis G.G.

While the problems we face have reached a crisis point, their roots are deep. Even in the seventeenth century, frances e. Dolan contends, some writers and thinkers voiced their reservations, both moral and environmental, about a philosophy of improvement that rationalized massive changes in land use, farming methods, and food production. Despite these reservations, the seventeenth century was a watershed in the formation of practices that would lead toward the industrialization of agriculture. But it was also a period of robust and inventive experimentation in what we now think of as alternative agriculture. This book approaches the seventeenth century, in its failed proposals and successful ventures, as a resource for imagining the future of agriculture in fruitful ways. It invites both specialists and non-specialists to see and appreciate the period from the ground up. 9780268107772 0268107777�bisac category: religion | christian theology | ecclesiology / philosophy | ethics & moral philosophy / philosophy | individual philosophers / philosophy | metaphysics / religion | christian theology | ethics8l�ebk�X�v N^YeX��W̑ ^�nf\yQ�t�b�vYeOf[Church Of The Ever Greater God"The Ecclesiology Of Erich PrzywaraAaron Pidel, S.J.�In church of the ever greater god, aaron pidel offers the first major english-language study of the ecclesiology of erich przywara, s.J., one of the most important catholic theologians of the twentieth century. As pidel shows, przywara s ecclesiology was thoroughly shaped by his idea of the analogia entis ( analogy of being ). According to this idea, every creature is constituted by the various tensions or polarities in its being. Creatures flourish when these tensions are in equilibrium but transgress their creaturely limits when they absolutize one polarity over the other. Pidel demonstrates how przywara used the concept of analogia entis to describe the structure and rhythm of the catholic church. In przywara s view, the church too is essentially constituted by her tensions or polarities. And yet, the members of the church may conform to that analogical tension to a lesser or greater degree of fidelity. Przywara claims that the analogia entis not only describes the church as she is but also can be used as a criterion for discerning the spiritual health of the church by helping her to see where her equilibrium has become imbalanced. 9783030425593 3030425592religion and gender[OYe-�WcwYe�[݋0��V�l�_NsY'`;NIN^yf[�[�S'`�N�v�|^ysQ`[Buddhist-christian Dialogue, U.S. Law, And Womanist Theology For Transgender Spiritual CarePamela Ayo YetundeThis book, written with hospital spiritual care providers in mind, investigates how to expand the field and scope of compassion within the hospital context, for the spiritual care and safety of transgender patients.

This includes a critical review and integration of the insights of a broad array of research, from evolutionary theory and political psychology to the political economy of media.

Historically, music study has centred on the conservatory, which privileges the study of the western european canon and western european practice . The eurocentric way music has been studied has excluded communities that are considered to be marginalized in one or more ways despite that the majority of human experiences with music is found outside of that realm. Community music has emerged as a counter-narrative to the hegemonic music canon: it seeks to increase the participation of those living on the boundaries.""community music at the boundaries explores music and music-making on those edges.

The passage of his american stamp act was widely debated by his contemporaries, damned by nineteenth-century whig historians, and criticized by many historians well into the twentieth-century. The stamp act proved to be a political blunder which helped precipitate the outbreak of the american revolution, and it is this, together with grenville�� "!s own forbidding personality, which has coloured how he has been largely remembered. Indeed, as one of his more recent biographers has noted, grenville�� "!s political career has been mainly judged on the comments made by his contemporary political enemies. Grenville, however, came to the premiership after spending twenty years in office and was perceived by many as an efficient and energetic minister; a capable and conscientious man who got things done.This present study adds to the recent reappraisal of grenville�� "!s career by investigating how he and his followers interacted with, and attempted to influence, the activities of the increasing political press during the first decade of the reign of george iii. 9783030371326 3030371328<\Ǒ�v�`aZ��e;NIN��_`_a.The Problem Of Affective Nihilism In Nietzsche)Thinking Differently, Feeling DifferentlyKaitlyn CreasyNietzsche is perhaps best known for his diagnosis of the problem of nihilism. Though his elaborations on this diagnosis often include descriptions of certain beliefs characteristic of the nihilist (such as beliefs in the meaninglessness or worthlessness of existence), he just as frequently specifies a variety of affective symptoms experienced by the nihilist that weaken their will and diminish their agency. This affective dimension to nihilism, however, remains drastically underexplored. In this book, kaitlyn creasy offers a comprehensive account of affective nihilism that draws on nietzsche s drive psychology, especially his reflections on affects and their transformative potential. After exploring nietzsche s account of affectivity (illuminating especially the transpersonal nature o< f affect in nietzsche s thought) and the phenomenon of affective nihilism, creasy argues that affective nihilism might be overcome by employing a variety of nietzschean strategies: experimentation, self-narration, and self-genealogy. 9783030431075 303043107Xexistentialism(�yr0<\ǑN^��NS�;NINX[(W;NIN1Sartre, Nietzsche And Non-humanist ExistentialismDavid MitchellFThis book argues that existentialism s concern with human existence does not simply make it another form of humanism. Influenced by heidegger s 1947  letter on humanism , structuralist and post-structuralist critics have both argued that existentialism is synonymous with a na�ve  humanist idea of the subject. Such identification has led to the movement s dismissal as a credible philosophy; this book aims to challenge such a view. Through a lucid and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of perversity in sartre and nietzsche, mitchell argues that understanding the human as a  perversion of something other than itself allows us to have a philosophy of the human without the humanist subject. In short, through perversion, we can talk about the human as not merely having a relation to the world, but of being that relation. 9783030431440 3030431444 �_�RyQN�SLNXb���vRˆR�g*Deleuze And The Schizoanalysis Of DystopiaRahime �okay Nebiolu\This book offers an insightful history of dystopian literature, integrating it within the conceptual schemas of deleuze and guattari.

The structure of the book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the aspect of narrative comprehension the person as narrator. It identifies two different origins of narrative comprehension (memory and play) and argues that the narratives we produce starting from autobiographical memory are intended to give order and meaning to events that happened in the past, in order to be able to interpret the present. Conversely, the narratives we produce starting from play are aesthetically constructed, not forced to respect reality, and because of this create potential new worlds of understanding.

J. Veal-The idea of a  leisure society was in its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was predicted that the pattern of falling working hours which had been experienced in western societies in the first half of the twentieth century would continue indefinitely. The leisure society has clearly not been realised. On the contrary: contemporary industrial societies seem to be characterised by a shortage of time, experienced as  time squeeze and stress. The leisure society idea can be seen as the modern version of the age-old dream of a  life of ease and plenty . This;analytically and empirically rich book traces the idea in history, through biblical, classical greek, medieval and nineteenth century utopian writings and into twentieth century concerns with dystopia and the impact of rapid technological change. 9781138289642 9781476682679 1476682674�history & archaeology|history|regional & national history|history of the americas//history & archaeology|history|military history|american war of independence�y T7�0R����e���Vi�}Tw��Q�[\O(u�vmQ*NgValley Forge To Monmouth4Six Transformative Months Of The American Revolution Jim StempelhFrom december 1787 through june 1778, the american revolution achieved a remarkable turnaround.

The subtitle of the collection-from andalusia to andalucia-is a play on the name of o'connor's family farm in milledgeville, georgia-andalusia-where she spent the last sixteen years of her life living with her mother. It is said that the farm's name was chosen because its location in milledgeville was the farthest north the spanish explorers of the sixteenth century traveled in the eastern u.S.

The widespread acceptance of this view is based primarily on the number of convictions with most jurisdictions reporting considerably fewer incarcerated women/girls than men/boys. This manuscript argues however that decisions made by the various stakeholders that play a role in the incarceration of men, are inherently gendered. These decisions are based on patriarchal perceptions and stereotypes related to the familial roles of men and women, and by extension their motivations for offending. Few studies have sought to explore the nature of these perceptions, and the effect these may have on incarceration patterns. Indeed, this form of inquiry remains absent from the research agenda of caribbean criminologists. Using qualitative data from barbados, this book analyses the extent to which these factors are taken into consideration not only by the by the police and members of the judiciary, but by examining the gendered decisions made by shop managers and proprietors in cases involving shoplifting, it seeks to analyse the extent to which these factors are taken into consideration before incidents reach the justice system. 036746957X 9781789972245 1789972248NY\��e�n<\eY�a'Y)R�l��e;NIN � T'`K`z�/gN�s�N�v^��s�N'`Queer Ventennio@Italian Fascism, Homoerotic Art, And The Nonmodern In The ModernItalian ModernitiesChampagne, JohnGiven fascist proscriptions against homosexuality, a surprising number of artists under mussolini s regime were queer. Exploring the contribution of italy to our understanding of both the history of homosexuality and european modernism, this ground-breaking study analyses three queer modernists  writer giovanni comisso, painter and writer filippo de pisis, and painter corrado cagli. None self-identified as fascists; none, however, were consistent critics of the regime. All understood their own sexuality via the idea of the primitive  a discourse fascism also employed in its efforts to secure consent for the dictatorship. What happens when we return to these men and their work minus the assumption that our most urgent task is identifying their fascist tendencies or political quietism? variously infantilized, pathologized, marginalized, and stigmatized, treated as both cause and effect of fascism, queer ventennio artists are an easy target, not brave or selfless or savvy enough to see their common struggle with fascism s other victims. 9783030427740 3030427749regional developmentl��WN�SU\��['k2m�[hQNT\O�~�~�'k�[�~�~ �bXT�V�vxvzTransformation And DevelopmentWStudies In The Organization For Security And Cooperation In Europe (osce) Member States Anja MihrHThis open access book features various studies on democratization, transformation, political and economic development, and security issues in the organization for security and cooperation in europe (osce) geographical region and beyond.

It has been trying to join the former camp for decades, but has not yet made substantial progress in this endeavour. This book documents the four main causes of the �� Sdisease�� � which troubles the turkish democracy: namely, socio-economic underdevelopment, the dependent middle classes, the perpetuation of the �� Skurdish issue�� �, and the weak opposition play a significant role in the shaping of the modern turkish political system.

To address this issue, many educational researchers advocate for schools to implement a multi-tiered systems of support (mtss) model where struggling writers can be detected as early as kindergarten and provided with intervention programming to improve their skills and hopefully not need long-term placement in special education. Traditionally, schools have employed the wait-to-fail model where children were offered the opportunity to learn to read, write, and do math in the first few years of elementary school; if they still struggled at the end of third grade (age eight), then they would be assessed for special education. The problem with this was not only a delayed assessment timeline, but also the standardized tests not having an adequate set of questions to assess early-elementary grade skills, as well as the ethical problems and racial/ethnic biases of test questions. 9780812252378 0812252373�NVYogG�0R�W^�V�[�Wl���V�e�v�W^�efN�eS�� T\From Trophy Towns To City-states: Urban Civilization And Cultural Identities In Roman PontusEmpire And AfterJesper Majbom Madsen 9781421437484 1421437481 0gNOP��^�v^yf[:?�Y��NR�~�~�e�[N�Ot'`�vyb$R 0Minimal Theologies1Critiques Of Secular Reason In Adorno And Levinas758�Originally published in in 2004. What, at this historical moment "after auschwitz," still remains of the questions traditionally asked by theology? what now is theology's minimal degree? this magisterial study, the first extended comparison of the writings of theodor w. Adorno and emmanuel levinas, explores remnants and echoes of religious forms in these thinkers' critiques of secular reason, finding in the work of both a "theology in pianissimo" constituted by the trace of a transcendent other. The author analyzes, systematizes, and formalizes this idea of an other of reason. In addition, he frames these thinkers' innovative projects within the arguments of such intellectual heirs as j�rgen habermas and jacques derrida, defending their work against later accusations of "performative contradiction" (by habermas) or "empiricism" (by derrida) and in the process casting important new light on those later writers as well. 1475851197 1475854692 9781527542495 1527542491a'Y)RNN�N�v�NAmN�vy:S�[�_teP�^�v�SNDCommunity Mental Health Engagement With Racially Diverse PopulationsBreland-noble, AlfieeDCommunity mental health engagement with racially diverse populations summarizes research on reducing mental health disparities in underserved populations through community engagement programs.

In this absorbing memoir of life in the wyoming high country, mary budd flitner offers a more authentic glimpse into the daily realities of ranch life - and what it takes to survive in the ranching world. Some of flitner's recollections are humorous and lighthearted. Others take a darker turn. A modern-day rancher with decades of experience, mary has dealt with the hardships and challenges that come with this way of life. She's survived harsh conditions like the ""winter of 50 below"" and economic downturns that threatened her family's livelihood. She's also wrestled with her role as a woman in a profession that doesn't always treat her as equal. But for all its challenges, flitner has also savored ranching's joys, including the ties that bind multiple generations of families to the land. 9780806166063 0806166061 sQ�N�=��[�l�vw�I�'On The Drafting Of Tribal ConstitutionsAmerican Indian Law And Policy3Felix S Cohen; David E Wilkins; Lindsay G Robertson2Felix cohen (1907-1953) was a leading architect of the indian new deal and steadfast champion of american indian rights. Appointed to the department of the interior in 1933, he helped draft the indian reorganization act (1934) and chaired a committee charged with assisting tribes in organizing their governments. His ""basic memorandum on drafting of tribal constitutions,"" submitted in november 1934, provided practical guidelines for that effort.Largely forgotten until cohen's papers were released more than half a century later, the memorandum now receives the attention it has long deserved. David e. Wilkins presents the entire work, edited and introduced with an essay that describes its origins and places it in historical context. Cohen recommended that each tribe consider preserving ancient traditions that offered wisdom to those drafting constitutions. Strongly opposed to ""sending out canned constitutions from washington,"" he offered ideas for incorporating indigenous political, social, and cultural knowledge and structure into new tribal constitutions. 9780813233031 0813233038�N/O�b ��e/O5rThe Count Of Abranhos.Jos� Maria E�a De Queir�s; Robert M.

The count of abranhos was published posthumously, and this is the first time it has been translated into english. Alipio severo abranhos, born to poor parents in a small town in the north of portugal, goes off to spend his boyhood and adolescence with an aunt whose material well-being constitutes, for him, the lap of luxury. And he likes and becomes accustomed to luxury. As he follows a course of study for his bacharel at the university of coimbra, certain negative character traits come to the fore, and upon completion of his degree he leaves behind a pregnant maid to take up residence in lisbon. In the capital, he calculates-as a young man with neither position, nor fortune, nor social standing-how to get ahead in life. And the path is through marriage to a young woman of social status and promise of a sizable dowry, both of which can facilitate his rise in politics and government. 9780268107215 0268107211]bisac category: philosophy | political / law | natural law / political science | human rights �6q�lN�NCg�b` Y�[��t'`Natural Law And Human Rights%Toward A Recovery Of Practical Reason"Catholic Ideas For A Secular World2Pierre Manent; Ralph C.

This first english translation of his profound and strikingly original book la loi naturelle et les droits de l homme is a reflection on the central question of the western political tradition. In six chapters, developed from the prestigious �tienne gilson lectures at the�institut catholique de paris, and in a related appendix, manent contemplates the steady displacement of the natural law by the modern conception of human rights. He aims to restore the grammar of moral and political action, and thus the possibility of an authentically political order that is fully compatible with liberty rightly understood.

Malone~ You might not know the names of boudleaux and felice bryant, but you know their music. Arriving in nashville in 1950, the songwriting duo became the first full-time independent songwriters in that musical city. In the course of their long careers, they created classic hits that pushed the boundaries of country music into the realms of pop and rock. Songs like "bye bye love," "all i have to do is dream," "love hurts," and "rocky top" inspired young musicians everywhere. Here, for the first time, is a complete biography of nashville's power songwriting couple. In nashville's songwriting sweethearts, authors bobbie malone and bill c. Malone recount how boudleaux and felice, married in 1945, began their partnership as itinerant musicians living in a trailer home and writing their first songs together. In nashville the couple had to deal with racism, classism, and in felice's case, sexism. Yet through hard work and business acumen--and a dose of good luck--they overcame these obstacles and rose to national prominence. By the late 1990s, the bryants had written as many as 6,000 songs and had sold more than 350 million copies worldwide.Iste Press - Elsevier 9783030370381 3030370380 film theory���[�f[N�N'`sY'`�S_�N5uq_-N�v'`+R0zz��NAm�R'`'Affirmative Aesthetics And Wilful Women1Gender, Space And Mobility In Contemporary CinemaMaud Ceuterick�While the idea of women who stay at home and men who dominate the streets may seem outdated, binary considerations of gender, space, and power still proliferate in contemporary cinema.

Rist�Human sexuality is a very important subject, especially in a cultural context such as ours, in which social and work transformations offer behavioral models that are characterized by a remarkable sexual indeterminacy. In transcending gender ideology, antonio malo tries to rethink sexuality with equilibrium and intellectual rigor, using a philosophical approach, since sexuality does not only affect biological aspects or social conditioning, but above all the same essence of the relationship between man and woman. Malo's reflections begin with the historical evolution of the concept of sexuality: the naturalistic conception, which sees the difference between man and woman as something biological and absolute, and the postmodern conception, which criticizes it by judging human sexuality as a socio-cultural construction or gender. According to malo, the limitation of the gender approach is to deny the relationship of human sexuality to the body and to the differences between man and woman. In fact, by rejecting these aspects, they end up sustaining a limitless creativity of freedom, which transforms the body into something that is used at will, and relationships as something fluid. 9781538134320 1538134322 O�yz�/g�[��[(u�vL�NcWS&Fine Artists: A Practical Career GuideNWelcome to the fine artist field! if you are interested in a career as a fine artist, you've come to the right book.

Based on two corpora: locness (the louvain corpus of native english essays) and mlc (the non-english major mainland chinese learner corpus), this book explores the features of chinese learner english with analysis of grammatical and lexical collocations. The findings show that chinese university students use collocations with considerably less variety and chinese language and culture exert a substantial influence on their english writing. It also discusses ways to tackle the problems chinese english learners face and the pedagogical implications for teaching english and learning english collocations.As one of the first systematic studies to investigate collocations in chinese learner english based on learner corpora, this book not only analyzes how chinese learners use collocations in their english writing, but also provides significant implications for foreign language teaching and learning. 9781138205567 9780367516765 0367516764-N�V��f[`N�,T�Rċ0O�CET�NE�,T�Rt�KmՋWY�N�v_�S0Assessing Listening For Chinese English LearnersEDeveloping A Communicative Listening Comprehension Test Suite For Cet Pan Zhixin�This book reports in detail the newly developed communicative listening comprehension test (clct) for the national college english test (cet) of china.

To understand this self, we draw on western philosophy, major schools of psychology, and the cross-cultural experience of the self in both collectivist and individualist cultures. With this grounding a diverse sample of eleven selves representing three genders are mapped and analyzed grouped in the following clusters: 1) north american selves built through participation in sports, 2) selves centred on notions of north american aboriginality,3) selves of individuals following a secular humanist paradigm, and 4) selves from china and russia. Two methods of self-mapping are described. The results support a hypothesis that a healthy or functional self is composed of fundamental elements including constancy, volition, uniqueness, productivity, intimacy, and social interest. The application of this research and the method of self-mapping to counselling and psychotherapy are explored.

Body horror films have intensified these themes in increasingly graphic terms. The aesthetic of body horror has its origins in the ideas of the marquis de sade and the existential philosophies of arthur schopenhauer and friedrich nietzsche, all of whom dem< onstrated that we have just cause to be anxious about our physical reality and its existence in the world. This book examines the relationship between these writers and the various manifestations of body horror in film. The most characteristic examples of this genre are those directed by david cronenberg, but body horror as a whole includes many variations on the theme by other figures, whose work is charted here through seven categories: copulation, generation, digestion, mutilation, infection, mutation, disintegration and extinction. 9781119636045 1119636043ё��s�ra���c_ё���_tf[�v�y�[ �Fd1��� ��MQmp�~hMoney Mammoth: Unlocking The Secrets Of Financial Psychology To Break From The Herd And Avoid ExtinctionEdward Horwitz�A look at the psychological barriers to financial success and how to create a better financial future when it comes to our relationship with money, we are in the stone age.

If you fall into this category, consider money mammoth: evolve your money mindset and avoid financial extinction.

It begins with the assumption that genre is both frequently used and undertheorized in the medium. Drawing from existing genre theories, particularly in film studies, the book pays close attention to the cultural, commercial, and technological specificities of comics in order to ground its account of the dynamics of genre in the medium. While chronicling historical developments, including the way public discourses shaped the horror genre in comics in the 1950s and the genre-defining function of crossovers, the book also examines contemporary practices, such as the use of hashtags and their relations to genres in self-published online comics. 9780806164847 0806164840�Ǐ,g0W\�4Y���VpS,{�[Ddq_2Through A Native Lens: American Indian PhotographyFThe Charles M. Russell Center Art And Photography Of The American WestNicole Strathman What is american indian photography? at the turn of the twentieth century, edward curtis began creating romantic images of american indians, and his works - along with pictures by other non-native photographers - came to define the field. Yet beginning in the second half of the nineteenth century, american indians themselves started using cameras to record their daily activities and to memorialize tribal members. Through a native lens offers a refreshing, new perspective by highlighting the active contributions of north american indians, both as patrons who commissioned portraits and as photographers who created collections. In this richly illustrated volume, nicole dawn strathman explores how indigenous peoples throughout the united states and canada appropriated the art of photography and integrated it into their lifeways. The photographs she analyzes date to the first one hundred years of the medium, between 1840 and 1940. To account for native activity both in front of and behind the camera, the author divides her survey into two parts. 9781527544277 1527544273 ��sYrĞё�e�N�v�l�_ ��ef[�T?e�l�Tf[��[Cg�R�v�S`��[Cg�R�v�S`YLaw, Literature And Political Philosophy In The Spanish Golden Age: A Reflection On PowerA Reflection On PowerJulio Juan Ruiz�This collection of articles, thoroughly documented, analyses particular aspects of the spanish 16th and 17th centuries.

The break with the colonial past was not only political, but also more general. While conventional wisdom defines education as a field of action reproducing society in time, decolo-nization placed broader and more radical demands on the field: to produce a new society. For this purpose, new forms of education and schooling were required, although the importance of inherited institutions and practices in education were still significant. This collection of chapters offers scholarly insights into this problem by covering different processes of decolonization and the challenges of education in the last two hundred years. 9781119629115 111962911X'FUN?b0W�N�T�~v�yhQfN��YUO(W-�pN ��Q.U �͑�e�[MO �_�S ���D��T�{t�e�X�R�N
