The Trouble with Ancient DNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén
English | January 20th, 2025 | ISBN: 022683557X | 163 pages | True EPUB | 1.19 MB
A thoughtful consideration of the storytelling and science behind ancient DNA discoveries.

In recent years, discoveries brought to light through analysis of ancient DNA-or aDNA-have made headlines around the world. While ancient DNA studies may appear to focus on laboratory science and objective results, the findings have also relied heavily on storytelling and can be influenced by political interests.
In The Trouble with Ancient DNA, Anna Källén explores how the parameters of genetic science influence the stories we tell about our ancient ancestors, questioning what narratives we can and should take at face value. Through accounts of migrations, warriors, and figures like Cheddar Man, we see enticing and potent narratives that reach far beyond what can be gathered from the scientific study of molecules alone. Rather, by privileging certain narratives and questions-like those about sex or eye and skin color-our stories of ancient DNA are spun around the structure of today's methodologies, technologies, and popular and political interests. Källén considers how DNA is used to sensationalize stories, how its use poses questions of ethics and care, and who is responsible if stories of ancient DNA are adopted for dangerous political projects.

The Trump Carnival: Populism, Transgression and the Far Right by Elizaveta Gaufman, Bharath Ganesh
English | January 29, 2024 | ISBN: 3111237990 | 127 pages | MOBI | 0.44 Mb
Donald Trump's campaign and presidency represented a radical departure from political norms that are often classified by media and researchers as 'populist'. Instead, this book theorizes Trump's campaign and presidency with reference to Mikhail Bakhtin's "carnival" - a medieval festival of transgression, ridicule, and renewal. In this book, Lisa Gaufman and Bharath Ganesh provide a closer insight into the Trump Carnival, developing interdisciplinary perspectives on populism, misogyny, misinformation, and far-right vernacular culture. Building on the idea of the carnivalesque, this book focuses on the laughing culture of the Trump campaigns and presidency that vilified minorities, disparaged women, and ultimately emboldened the far right. Bringing Bakhtin into dialogue with key developments in contemporary politics, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Trump phenomenon, American politics, and populism.

Alexander Dugin, "The Trump Revolution: A New Order of Great Powers"
English | e-book | ISBN: 1917646259 | 2025 | 93 pages | PDF | 1 MB
Donald Trump's return to power is not merely a political event. It is a geopolitical shift of historic proportions. In The Trump Revolution, Alexander Dugin dissects the rise of Trumpism 2.0 and its role in dismantling the liberal-globalist order, replacing it with a new reality: the Order of Great Powers. This is not the cooperative multipolarity envisioned by Russia and China but a harsher, pragmatic world in which only strong and truly sovereign civilizations can assert themselves.

Trump's America is no longer the enforcer of globalism but a traditionalist empire in the making, prioritizing its own strength while recognizing the legitimacy of other great powers. This transformation reverberates beyond America, giving new momentum to Europe's patriotic opposition. As Trumpist forces challenge Washington's entrenched elite, European conservatives rally under the MEGA (Make Europe Great Again) banner, pushing back against the leftist establishment that has wrecked their nations.
Dugin traces how Trumpism, technology, and realpolitik converge to forge this new world. From the ideological battles within America to the collapse of the old Atlanticist order, The Trump Revolution is the definitive guide to the battles ahead and the great realignment that will shape the 21st century.

The Truth About English Grammar
by Geoffrey K. Pullum
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1509560548 | 176 Pages | ePUB | 0.23 MB

Do you worry that your understanding of English grammar isn't what it should be? It may not be your fault. For hundreds of years, vague and confused ideas about how to state the rules have been passed down from one generation to the next. The available books for the general reader - thousands of them, shamelessly plagiarizing each other - repeat the same misguided definitions and generalizations that appeared in the schoolbooks used by your great-great-grandparents.
Geoffrey K. Pullum thinks you deserve better. In this book he breaks away from the tradition. Presupposing no prior knowledge or technical terms, he provides an informal introduction to the essential concepts underlying grammar and usage. With his foundation, you will be equipped to understand the classification of words, the structure of phrases and clauses, and why some supposed grammar rules are really just myths. Also covered are some of the key points about spelling, apostrophes, hyphens, capitalization, and punctuation.
Illuminating, witty, and incisive, The Truth About English Grammar is a vital book for all who love writing, reading, and thinking about English.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Money: How to live with uncertainty and think for yourself by Paul Podolsky
English | November 19, 2024 | ISBN: 1804090956 | 224 pages | PDF | 3.54 Mb
We are all stuck in a money cage. Money isn't the most important thing, but it is a thing and you can't get away from it. Birth costs money and death costs money. So even if you hate talking about money, you need to know the basics, the same way you need to know how to cook yourself a simple meal. The problem with most money books is that they are not written by practitioners and avoid hard truths. What a weathered investor knows is that stocks are not always good for the long run. They know that being stingy helps accrue wealth. They know the big thing when you buy property has nothing to do with the property. They know the big thing is less what happens to the markets in a day than if the entire system holds together. And they know what to look for if it's time to pull out. That's what this book will teach you, a lifetime of money learnings distilled to a thin volume, like a basic cooking recipe you can follow.

Matthew Twigg, "The Valentinian Temple "
English | ISBN: 103219801X | 2024 | 254 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Is the Nag Hammadi Apocalypse of Paul a Valentinian text? Many would say no, few would say yes. The Valentinian Temple brings together all the available evidence to produce a systematic argument in favour of the Apocalypse of Paul's Valentinian origins.

From Valentinus himself to the Gospel of Truth and the Gospel of Philip, this book traces one of the most neglected trajectories in Valentinian Christianity, namely the pursuit of mystical experiences oriented around a heavenly temple. Starting with the divine Name in the fragments of Valentinus, the development of a high-priestly Christology is uncovered across a range of primary sources, culminating in the Gospel of Philip's temple-based rituals of initiation. The Valentinian Temple argues that it is against this intellectual background that the

The Waffen SS Ardennes Offensive: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War) by Ian Baxter
English | April 13, 2022 | ISBN: 1399012894 | 128 pages | MOBI | 64 Mb
Graphic, contemporary images show the bitter fighting in harsh terrain and winter conditions.

In late 1944 under extreme pressure on both the Eastern and Western fronts, Hitler realized he needed to force the Allies into negotiating a truce thereby saving Germany from total defeat. Using the Christmas period to enhance the vital element of surprise, he ordered a devastating attack through the rugged and mountainous Ardenne region with the key Allied port of Antwerp as the objective.
This book, with its extensive text and rare and unpublished photographs with detailed captions, tells the story of the Waffen-SS offensive, known as `Wacht am Rhein` (Watch on the Rhine). These formidable SS armored units with supporting Wehrmacht divisions initially achieved dramatic success making full use of the harsh winter conditions and terrain. Gradually the Allies regained the upper hand on the attackers who were increasingly suffering from lack of reinforcements and resupplies. After defeat at the pivotal battle of Bastonge, remaining Waffen-SS units withdrew and were transferred back to the Eastern Front. As described in this classic Images of War book, the Fuhrer's gamble so nearly paid off and the ruthless fighting spirit of the elite Waffen-SS divisions caused the Allied command serious concern.

The Waffen-SS in Normandy, 1944: Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives (Images of War) by Ian Baxter
English | February 3, 2022 | ISBN: 1399091417 | 128 pages | MOBI | 36 Mb
In June 1944, Operation OVERLORD, the greatest ever amphibious invasion, initially overwhelmed German Normandy defenses. To attempt to stabilize the situation, Hitler deployed his elite Waffen-SS divisions to avert the crisis.

This classic Images of War book describes how the formidable Leibstandarte, Das Reich, Hitlerjugend, Hohenstaufen, and the Frundsberg SS divisions with supporting Wehrmacht divisions fought fanatically despite facing overwhelming enemy airpower and determined well-led Allied armies. Mounting losses and supply and fuel problems culminated in the Falaise Pocket defeat, when twenty-five out of the thirty-eight German division were completely destroyed. As a result, the remaining Waffen-SS units had to be reluctantly withdrawn and transferred back to Holland and, Belgium to recoup, or sent to the Eastern Front to attempt to stem the relentless Soviet advance.
With many rare and unpublished photographs with detailed captions, Waffen-SS in Normandy is a graphic account of the Waffen-SS operations in Normandy and their subsequent retreat through France.

As pivotal was Vicki's no-nonsense social worker, Linda Webb. The sheer determination of these diverse women fortified Victoria during her unlikely arrival in New York City at age seventeen with a full scholarship to study at the American Ballet Theater School. Transfixing and redemptive, The Women Who Raised Me is both heartbreaking and heartwarming, ultimately, inspiring.
The Legacy Edition of her NY Times bestseller is a tribute to all the children who deserve to have someone to hold their hand, and their space, and to remind them everyone deserves love, and beauty and everything is possible.

Christian Lee Novetzke, "The Yoga of Power: Yoga as Political Thought and Practice in India"
English | ISBN: 0231220014 | 2024 | 272 pages | PDF | 6 MB
In Indian languages from Sanskrit to Marathi, yoga has an enormous range of meanings, though most often it refers to philosophy or methods to control the mind and body. This book argues for a wider understanding, demonstrating that yoga has long expressed political thought and practice. The political idea of yoga names the tools of kings, poets, warriors, and revolutionaries. It encodes stratagems for going into battle and for the demands of governance. This idea suggests routes to self-rule even when faced with implacable obstacles, and it defines righteous action amid the grime and grief of politics and war.

Sunila S. Kalé and Christian Lee Novetzke chart a new genealogy of yoga, beginning with uses of the term in the Ṛg Veda

Ioannis Gaitanidis, "Therapy, Spirituality, and East Asian Imaginaries "
English | ISBN: 9048559014 | 2025 | 302 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In the context of modern global exchanges, an imagined and essentialised notion of 'East Asia' has served as both a source of inspiration and a catalyst for new connections, extending beyond the geographic boundaries of China, Japan, and Korea. This volume explores the global circulation of practices, technologies, and ideas identified as 'East Asian' in alternative therapies and spiritual practices since the 1970s. Case studies range from the incorporation of traditional Chinese medicine into Brazilian naturopathy to self-development seminars promoting Korean national identity. Rather than focusing on questions of authenticity, the book uniquely interrogates how and why the cultures of China, Japan, and Korea have been invoked over the last fifty years to promote specific therapeutic, spiritual, and political agendas worldwide.

Kimberly Besio, Constantine Tung, "Three Kingdoms and Chinese Culture"
English | 2007 | pages: 222 | ISBN: 0791470113, 0791470121 | PDF | 3,2 mb
A multi-disciplinary exploration of China's first great classical novel, Three Kingdoms, and its influence on Chinese culture.

This is the first book-length treatment in English of Three Kingdoms (Sanguo yanyi), often regarded as China's first great classical novel. Set in the historical period of the disunion (220-280 AD), Three Kingdoms fuses history and popular tradition to create a sweeping epic of heroism and political ambition. The essays in this volume explore the multifarious connections between Three Kingdoms and Chinese culture from a variety of disciplines, including history, literature, philosophy, art history, theater, cultural studies, and communications, demonstrating the diversity of backgrounds against which this novel can be studied.
Some of the most memorable episodes and figures in Chinese literature appear within its pages, and Three Kingdoms has had a profound influence on personal, social, and political behavior, even language usage, in the daily life of people in China today. The novel has inspired countless works of theater and art, and, more recently, has been the source for movies and a television series. Long popular in other countries of East Asia, such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, Three Kingdoms has also been introduced to younger generations around the globe through a series of extremely popular computer games. This study helps create a better understanding of the work's unique place in Chinese culture.

Translating the Nonhuman: What Science Fiction Can Teach Us About Translating by Douglas H. Robinson
English | November 14, 2024 | ISBN: 9798765112847, 9798765112816 | True EPUB | 174 pages | 0.99 MB
Extends the field of translation studies and theory by examining three radical science-fiction treatments of translation.

The so-called "fictional turn" in translation studies has staked out territory previously unclaimed by translation scholars - territory in which translators are portrayed as full human beings in their social environments - but so far no one has looked to science fiction for truly radical explorations of translation. Translating the Nonhuman fills that gap, exploring speculative attempts to cross the yawning chasm between human and nonhuman languages and cultures.
The book consists of three essays, each bringing a different theoretical orientation to bear on a different science-fiction work. The first studies Samuel R. Delany's 1966 novel, Babel-17, using Peircean semiotics; the second studies Suzette Haden Elgin's 1984 novel, Native Tongue, using Austinian performativity and Eve Sedwick's periperformative corrective; and the third studies Ted Chiang's 1998 novella, "Story of Your Life," and its 2016 screen adaptation, Arrival, using sustainability theory. Themes include the 1950s clash between Whorfian untranslatability and the possibility of unbounded (machine) translatability; the performative ability of a language to change reality and the reliance of that ability on the periperformativity of "witnesses"; and alienation from the familiar in space and time and its transformative effect on the biological and cultural sustainability of human life on earth.
Through these close readings and varied theoretical approaches, Translating the Nonhuman provides a tentative mapping of science fiction's usefulness for the study of human-(non)human translation, with translators and interpreters acting as explorers of new ways to communicate.

This book examines and illustrates the use of design principles, design thinking, and other empathy research techniques in university and public settings, to plan and ethically target socially-concerned transmedia stories and evaluate their success through user experience testing methods.

All media industries continue to adjust to a dispersed, diverse, and dilettante mediascape where reaching a large global audience may be easy but communicating with a decisive and engaged public is more difficult. This challenge is arguably toughest for communicators who work to engage a public with reality rather than escape. The chapters in this volume outline the pedagogy and practice of design, empathy research methods for story development, transmedia logics for socially-concerned stories, development of community engagement and the embrace of collective narrative, art and science research collaboration, the role of mixed and virtual reality in prosocial communication, ethical audience targeting, and user experience testing for storytelling campaigns. Each broad topic includes case examples and full case studies of each stage in production.

Michael Sommer, Stephanie Hallinger, "Transzendentales Ägypten: Jenseits, Himmel, Hölle und das Ende in antik-ägyptischen Diskursen"
Deutch | ISBN: 3506790765 | 2025 | 381 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Der Schmelztiegel des antiken Ägypten begünstigt die Entstehung spezifischer und charakteristischer Ideen über die Sphäre zwischen Tod und Jenseits: Vom ptolemäischen Ägypten bis zur Islamisierung in der Spätantike begegnen und durchdringen sich kulturelle Diskurse an den Schnittstellen zwischen ägyptischen, römisch-hellenistischen, jüdischen, christlichen und islamischen Denkwelten. Der Tagungsband untersucht transkulturelle Parallelen und Differenzen zwischen Vorstellungen über Diesseits, Jenseits und Transzendenz, die im antiken Ägypten entstanden und deren komplexe Rezeptionsgeschichte unser Denken bis in die Gegenwart hinein prägt. Die Beiträge nähern sich Wurzeln und Nachwirkung christlich-ägyptischer Traditionen aus Sicht der Ägyptologie, Alten Geschichte, Philologie, Philosophie, Theologie, Koptologie und Kunstgeschichte und veranschaulichen, wie historische Forschung zur Entstehung von Bildern und Ideen über Tod und Jenseits zum Verständnis moderner Lebenswelten beitragen.

Troubled People, Troubled World: Psychotherapy, Ethics and Society
by Michael Briant
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1805113577 | 220 Pages | True PDF | 2.8 MB

Ethical issues are the stuff of psychotherapy, and in fact Freud envisaged the process as one in which an unexamined, irrational and oppressive conscience gives way to one more benignly rooted in reason.
Therapists endeavour to be non-judgemental and, indeed, are no more qualified to pass judgement on others than anyone else; do they nevertheless learn anything about ethics from their disciplined listening?
The same question was asked after the war about the persecution of the Jews and other minorities, and it's a very live issue again, faced as we are by movements like ISIS, or Putinism in Russia, that cause great suffering in the name of religious or moral regeneration - a bewildering paradox that David Astor, former editor of The Observer called 'the scourge'.
Can psychotherapy throw any light on it, or contribute any ideas as to how we might contain, if not prevent, the barbarism it sanctions? Can it offer any insights into a different, more inclusive kind of ethics, and if so, can we glean any guidance from it as to how we might further it?
These are the questions the author explores, drawing on psychoanalytic thinking on these issues for over a century and illustrated by his work with individuals over four decades.
