Abdoulaye Sounaye, "Thinking the Re-Thinking of the World"
English | ISBN: 3110738090 | 2022 | 300 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
As far too many intellectual histories and theoretical contributions from the 'global South' remain under-explored, this volume works towards redressing such imbalance. Experienced authors, from the regions concerned, along different disciplinary lines, and with a focus on different historical timeframes, sketch out their perspectives of envisaged transformations. This includes specific case studies and reflexive accounts from African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern contexts. Taking a critical stance on the ongoing dominance of Eurocentrism in academia, the authors present their contributions in relation to current decolonial challenges.

Hereby, they consider intellectual, practical and structural aspects and dimensions, to mark and build their respective positions. From their particular vantage points of (trans)disciplinary and transregional engagement, they sketch out potential pathways for addressing the unfinished business of conceptual decolonization. The specific individual positionalities of the contributors, which are shaped by location and regional perspective as much as in disciplinary, biographical, linguistic, religious, and other terms, are hereby kept in view. Drawing on their significant experiences and insights gained in both the global north and global south, the contributors offer original and innovative models of engagement and theorizing frames that seek to restore and critically engage with intellectual practices from particular regions and transregional contexts in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.
This volume builds on a lecture series held at ZMO in the winter 2019-2020

This and That: The Lost Stories of Emily Carr; Revised and Updated by Emily Carr, Ann-Lee Switzer
English | October 8, 2024 | ISBN: 1771514485 | 256 pages | MOBI | 12 Mb
A new edition of Emily Carr's final writings, This and That is a collection of autobiographical stories that gives fans of her work insight into the artist's childhood, education, and development as a painter and writer.

Written in the last two years of Emily Carr's life, the stories collected in This and That (which Carr wrote under the working title "Hundreds and Thousands") were buried in the BC Archives for decades after their author's death, not published in book form until 2007. This revised edition includes five more stories and an updated introduction, and is illustrated with some of Carr's own artwork.
Centred on the Carr home on Government Street, the collection includes vivid snapshots of family life, told from the frustrating but often comical position of being the youngest of four strong-minded daughters. We meet beloved family pets, a plant-loving father with a fearsome temper, a hated aunt, siblings, neighbours, shopkeepers, and local personalities.
In these pages Carr traces her beginnings as a writer, her time at art school in San Francisco, visits to places like Nootka and Skidegate, and the early reaction to the change in both her painting style and subject matter these trips brought about.
Carr's stories conjure the world of folk tales with a generous dash of Nancy Mitford. Taken together these anecdotes comprise a slant-wise autobiography of an artist ahead of her time in Victoria at the turn of the twentieth century.

This Incredible Need to Believe (European Perspectives: a Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism) by Julia Kristeva
English | March 4th, 2025 | ISBN: 0231219040 | 136 pages | True EPUB | 0.28 MB
"Unlike Freud, I do not claim that religion is just an illusion and a source of neurosis. The time has come to recognize, without being afraid of 'frightening' either the faithful or the agnostics, that the history of Christianity prepared the world for humanism."

So writes Julia Kristeva in this provocative work, which skillfully upends our entrenched ideas about religion, belief, and the thought and work of a renowned psychoanalyst and critic. With dialogue and essay, Kristeva analyzes our "incredible need to believe"-the inexorable push toward faith that, for Kristeva, lies at the heart of the psyche and the history of society. Examining the lives, theories, and convictions of Saint Teresa of Ávila, Sigmund Freud, Donald Winnicott, Hannah Arendt, and other individuals, she investigates the intersection between the desire for God and the shadowy zone in which belief resides.
Kristeva suggests that human beings are formed by their need to believe, beginning with our first attempts at speech and following through to our adolescent search for identity and meaning. Even if we no longer have faith in God, she argues, we must believe in human destiny and creative possibility. Reclaiming Christianity's openness to self-questioning and the search for knowledge, Kristeva urges a "new kind of politics," one that restores the integrity of the human community.

This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans (Create a Strategy to Elevate Your Career, Community & Life) by Seth Godin
English | October 22, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CXWV8G29 | 252 pages | EPUB | 3.62 Mb
A Best Non-Fiction Book of 2024 from The Next Big Idea Book Club and National Bestseller.

From Seth Godin, one of the world's most influential business thinkers and bestselling author of This is Marketing, comes an essential guide to thinking strategically in a complex, ever-changing world.
"With his signature clarity and brevity, the marketing maven presents memorable, practical advice for making smarter plans." -Adam Grant, author of Think Again
In this unique and thought-provoking book, Godin shares insights on strategy through a series of powerful reflections and observations that will reshape how you approach problems, make decisions, and create change.
"Creating tomorrow by repeating yesterday is not a useful way forward."
"Every strategy requires choice. And those choices often involve saying 'no' to things we could do, but won't do."
"It's not easy to persuade someone to want what you want. It's much more productive to find people who already want to go where you'd like to take them."
This is Strategy is a modern classic that offers perspectives you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Rather than providing step-by-step formulas, Godin offers something more valuable: a new way of seeing and thinking about the challenges you face.
You'll discover how to:
- Identify your "smallest viable audience" and make remarkable work they can't ignore
- Understand and influence the systems shaping our world
- Prioritize long-term thinking over instant gratification
- Make smart, purposeful choices that shape a better tomorrow
Who this book is for:
- Leaders who want to think more deeply about their impact
- Entrepreneurs tired of conventional business advice
- Change-makers seeking lasting transformation in their career and community
- Anyone feeling stuck in outdated systems and looking for a fresh perspective
Strategy turns our effort into impact. Your journey to better thinking starts here.

Thou Savage Woman: Female Killers in Early Modern Britain by Blessin Adams
English | February 13th, 2025 | ISBN: 0008500177 | 304 pages | True EPUB | 0.90 MB
LADY KILLERS AND FEMME FATALES - STORIES OF MURDER MOST FOUL - HAVE GRIPPED PUBLIC IMAGINATION FOR CENTURIES

Early Modern Britain was awash with pamphlets, ballads, woodcuts broadcasting bloodthirsty tales of traitorous wives, greedy mistresses, cunning female poisoning lacing the supper with deadly substances; of child killers and spiteful witches, stories of women wholly and unnaturally wicked. These were printed or sung, tacked the walls of alehouses, sold in the streets for pennies and read voraciously to thrill all. But why? When the vast majority of murders then (and now) are committed by men.
In this bold, page-turning new history, former police officer and historian Blessin Adams tells stories of women whose violent crimes shattered the narrow confines of their gender - and whose notoriety revealed a society that was at once repulsed by and attracted to murderous female rebellion. Based on detailed research in court archives, each chapter explores murders that thrilled and terrified the British public; the crimes that caused the most concern and provoked the most debate. Women in this period killed rarely, and when they did it was usually within the context of extreme provocation or domestic violence. Adams has the ability of the best crime novelists in recreating the setting in which each case occurred as well as the motivations of each perpetrator.
Thou Savage Woman reminds us that women in the past had voices, that they sought to control their bodies and their environments and that they also had the capacity for committing acts of unspeakable violence.

Tolbert McCarroll, "Three Gifts for Spiritual Wayfarers: Courage, Faith, Doubt"
English | ISBN: 0982732961 | 2019 | 87 pages | EPUB | 1487 KB
How do we have confidence in our ability to deal with each experience we encounter? Where will we find the strength to follow our personal spiritual compass and act in ways that take us out of our comfort zone? Can we look at doubt as a tool for leading us to new understandings instead of thinking of doubt as our enemy? These are significant questions which each of us faces, regardless of the words we use to express them. Tolbert McCarroll uses the themes of Great Faith, Great Courage, and Holy Doubt as he takes on these questions in this wonderful book. It is short, but it is not a quick read. Toby's insights give us much to ponder as we read and re-read his compelling thoughts. Toby's sharing can provide the self-reflection needed to reach an understanding of the self that we truly are.

Three Sips of Gin: Dominating the Battlespace with Rhodesia's famed Selous Scouts by Timothy Bax
English | August 19, 2013 | ISBN: 1909384291 | 448 pages | MOBI | 64 Mb
There is nothing that terrorized Russian and Chinese-backed guerillas fighting Rhodesia's bush war in the 1970s more than the famed Selous Scouts. The very name of the unit struck fear into the very heart and soul of even the most battle-hardened guerillas. Too afraid to even whisper the name amongst themselves, they referred to soldiers of the unit simply as Skuzapu, or pickpockets. It was not for nothing that history has recorded the Selous Scouts Regiment as being one of the deadliest and most effective killing machines in modern counter-insurgency warfare.

The Selous Scouts comprised specially selected black and white soldiers of the Rhodesian army, supplemented with the inclusion of hardcore terrorists captured on the battlefield. Dressed and equipped as communist guerrillas and with faces and arms blackened, members of this elite Special Forces unit would slip silently into the shadows of the night to seek and destroy real terrorist gangs. It became a deadly game of hide-and-seek played out between gangs and counter-gangs in the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the African bush. So successful were the Selous Scouts at being able to locate and destroy terrorist in their lairs that by the mid-1970s, they had begun to dominate Rhodesia's battle space. Working in close conjunction with the elite airborne assault troops of the Rhodesian Light Infantry, the Selous Scouts accounted for an extraordinary high proportion of terrorist killed in Rhodesia's bush war. Not content with restricting themselves to hunting guerrillas inside Rhodesia, the Selous Scouts began conducting external vehicle-borne assaults against terrorist camps situated deep inside neighboring countries with devastating loss to the terrorists.
Survival in this cauldron of battle was never guaranteed. In this special 'deluxe' edition of author Tim Bax's hugely acclaimed Three Sips of Gin, we follow Tim on his missions into the silence of the shadows. As his story unfolds, we begin to understand how he managed to survive and it is here you will find the significance of 'three sips of gin' revealed. Readers of the earlier edition of the book will not want to miss reading this 'deluxe' edition, which, for the first time, is illustrated with dozens of photographs of every facet of Tim's amazing journey, including stark, never before seen images of the war.
Three Sips of Gin is not just a book about war. It is a remarkable book about a remarkable man's life journey. Tim tells his story with the wit, candor and self-deprecating humor for which he has become so well known. His amazing journey is one, which few could ever have experienced.

Colby Ross, "Through a New Lens "
English | ISBN: 1543956564 | 2019 | 212 pages | EPUB | 259 KB
In a society where opinion is shamed, conformity is encouraged, and believing in what you see and hear is the norm, this book will open your eyes to a new world, Through a New Lens. We often accept what we are told. Whether it be from our parents, teachers, pastors, politicians, friends, and family, we accept based on trust rather than reason to trust. We feel guilty questioning. We are afraid to say what we think because of what people might hear. We know what is right for us but are scared to acknowledge it. I want to state very clearly that THIS IS NOT A SELF-HELP BOOK.This is not a 10-step guide on how to improve your life, but rather to see your life though a new lens. I cannot promise you that out of my 80 plus topics you wont get offended. I cannot promise you that you will agree or even understand where I am coming from. But I promise you this, at the very least it will provoke thought. It will make you question yourself, others, and possibly your spiritual beliefs. It is said that to question is dangerous but more dangerous not to.

Through the Water and the Storm
by Antonio Iodice

English | January 1, 2025 | ISBN: 1805398326 | 322 Pages | True epub | 5,93 MB

The maritime legal framework of General Average (GA) remains an enigmatic and overlooked process within the history of seaborne trade. An ancient rule that redates Roman Law, it continues to be operational today, in a largely unchanged state, mandating the redistribution of unexpected costs that arise during a maritime expedition amongst shipowners and merchants. In this detailed examination of Average procedures within the Italian maritime republic of Genoa, between the years 1590 and 1700, Through the Water and the Storm demonstrates how this rich data can be used to investigate the dynamics of Mediterranean seaborne trade.

Daniel J. Sharfstein, "Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War"
English | ISBN: 0393355659 | 2018 | 640 pages | AZW3 | 5 MB
"Beautifully wrought and impossible to put down, Daniel Sharfstein's Thunder in the Mountains chronicles with compassion and grace that resonant past we should never forget."―Brenda Wineapple, author of Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, and Compromise, 1848-1877

After the Civil War and Reconstruction, a new struggle raged in the Northern Rockies. In the summer of 1877, General Oliver Otis Howard, a champion of African American civil rights, ruthlessly pursued hundreds of Nez Perce families who resisted moving onto a reservation. Standing in his way was Chief Joseph, a young leader who never stopped advocating for Native American sovereignty and equal rights. Thunder in the Mountains is the spellbinding story of two legendary figures and their epic clash of ideas about the meaning of freedom and the role of government in American life. 8 pages of illustrations

Timber!: How Wood Can Help Save the World from Climate Breakdown by Paul Brannen
English | September 24, 2024 | ISBN: 1788217357 | 256 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
The carbon emissions generated by concrete and steel construction are well-known. Why then are we not using more carbon-friendly building materials? In a passionate and compelling argument Paul Brannen advocates the use of timber in buildings wherever possible. His controversial and counterintuitive argument is clear: planting trees is not enough to reduce carbon, we also have to chop them down and use more wood in our buildings and cities.

This is the first book to take timber from the margins to the mainstream, from the forests to the cities. The book tackles head-on questions about sustainability, safety, the biodiversity of commercial forests and the pressures on land use. The case for timber as a construction material is persuasively made - the creation of new engineered timbers with the structural strength of steel and concrete enable us for the first time to build wooden skyscrapers - and draws on the latest developments in engineering and material science. In addition to the familiar forestry models, the book advocates alternatives such as wood farming and agroforestry that bring with them added biodiversity gains for farms.
With the built environment currently responsible for 40 per cent of the world's carbon emissions, Brannen's message is unequivocal: we must change how we build. Timber! offers fresh and inventive ideas that over time could see our expanding cities storing more carbon than our expanding forests.

Johannes Zachhuber, "Time and Soul: From Aristotle to St. Augustine "
English | ISBN: 3110692724 | 2022 | 108 pages | EPUB | 1180 KB
Can time exist independently of consciousness? In antiquity this question was often framed as an enquiry into the relationship of time and soul. Aristotle cautiously suggested that time could not exist without a soul that is counting it. This proposal was controversially debated among his commentators. The present book offers an account of this debate beginning from Aristotle's own statement of the problem in Book IV of the Physics. Subsequent chapters discuss Aristotle's Peripatetic followers, Boethus of Sidon and Alexander of Aphrodisias; his Neoplatonic readers, Descriptioninus and Simplicius; and early Christian authors, Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine. At the centre of the debate stood the relation between the subjective time in the soul and the objective time of the cosmos. Both could be seen as united in the world soul as the seat of subjective time on a cosmic scale. But no solution to the problem was final. No theory gained general acceptance. The book shows the fascinating variety and plurality of ideas about time and soul throughout antiquity. Throughout antiquity, the problem of time and soul remained as intriguing as it proved intractable.

Bettina Schulz Paulsson, "Time and Stone: The Emergence and Development of Megaliths and Megalithic Societies in Europe"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1784917117, 1784916854 | PDF | pages: 392 | 33.4 mb
This analysis is concerned with the dating of megaliths in Europe and is based on 2410 available radiocarbon results from pre-megalithic and megalithic sites, and to the megaliths contemporaneous contexts and the application of a Bayesian statistical framework. It is, so far, the largest existing attempt to establish a supra-regional synthesis on the emergence and development of megaliths in Europe. Its aim is to assist in the clarification of an over 200-year-old, ongoing research debate.

Time Machines: Telegraphic Images in Nineteenth-Century France (The MIT Press) by Richard Taws
English | January 21st, 2025 | ISBN: 026204918X | 400 pages | True EPUB | 7.18 MB
A riveting exploration of the relationship between art and telegraphy, and its implications for understanding time and history in nineteenth-century France.

In Time Machines Richard Taws examines the relationship between art and telegraphy in the decades following the French Revolution. The optical telegraph was a novel form of visual communication developed in the 1790s that remained in use until the mid-1850s. This pre-electric telegraph, based on a semaphore code, irrevocably changed the media landscape of nineteenth-century France. Although now largely forgotten, in its day it covered vast distances and changed the way people thought about time. It also shaped, and was shaped by, a proliferating world of images. What happens, Taws asks, if we think about art telegraphically?
Placed on prominent buildings across France-for several years there was one on top of the Louvre-the telegraph's waving limbs were a ubiquitous sight, shifting how public space was experienced and represented. The system was depicted by a wide range of artists, who were variously amused, appalled, irritated, or seduced by the telegraph's intractable coded messages and the uncanny environmental and perceptual disruption it caused. Clouds, architecture, landscapes, and gestures: all signified differently in the era of telegraphy, and the telegraph became a powerful means to comprehend France's technological and political past. While Paris's famous arcades began to crisscross the city at ground level, a more enigmatic network was operating above. Shifting attention from the streets to the skies, this book shows how modern France took shape quite literally under the telegraph's sign.
