Collectivism after Modernism: The Art of Social Imagination after 1945 edited by Blake Stimson, Gregory Sholette
English | February 20, 2007 | ISBN: 0816644616, 0816644624 | True PDF | 331 pages | 28.9 MB
"Don't start an art collective until you read this book." -Guerrilla Girls

"Ever since Web 2.0 with its wikis, blogs and social networks the art of collaboration is back on the agenda. Collectivism after Modernism convincingly proves that art collectives did not stop after the proclaimed death of the historical avant-gardes. Like never before technology reinvents the social and artists claim the steering wheel!" -Geert Lovink, Institute of Network Cultures, Amsterdam
"This examination of the succession of post-war avant-gardes and collectives is new, important, and engaged." - Stephen F. Eisenman, author of The Abu Ghraib Effect
"Collectivism after Modernism crucially helps us understand what artists and others can do in mushy, stinky times like ours. What can the seemingly powerless do in the face of mighty forces that seem to have their act really together? Here, Stimson and Sholette put forth many good answers." -Yes Men
Spanning the globe from Europe, Japan, and the United States to Africa, Cuba, and Mexico, Collectivism after Modernism explores the ways in which collectives function within cultural norms, social conventions, and corporate or state-sanctioned art. Together, these essays demonstrate that collectivism survives as an influential artistic practice despite the art world's star system of individuality. Collectivism after Modernism provides the historical understanding necessary for thinking through postmodern collective practice, now and into the future.

Benoît Henriet, "Colonial Impotence: Virtue and Violence in a Congolese Concession (1911-1940) "
English | ISBN: 3110648784 | 2021 | 202 pages | PDF | 18 MB
In Colonial Impotence, Benoît Henriet studies the violent contradictions of colonial rule from the standpoint of the Leverville concession, Belgian Congo's largest palm oil exploitation. Leverville was imagined as a benevolent tropical utopia, whose Congolese workers would be "civilized" through a paternalist machinery. However, the concession was marred by inefficiency, endemic corruption and intrinsic brutality. Colonial agents in the field could be seen as impotent, for they were both unable and unwilling to perform as expected. This book offers a new take on the joint experience of colonialism and capitalism in Southwest Congo, and sheds light on their impact on local environments, bodies, societies and cosmogonies.

Combinations of Complex Dynamical Systems by Kevin M. Pilgrim
English | PDF (True) | 121 Pages | ISBN : 3540201734 | 2.1 MB
This work is a research-level monograph whose goal is to develop a general combination, decomposition, and structure theory for branched coverings of the two-sphere to itself, regarded as the combinatorial and topological objects which arise in the classification of certain holomorphic dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere. It is intended for researchers interested in the classification of those complex one-dimensional dynamical systems which are in some loose sense tame. The program is motivated by the dictionary between the theories of iterated rational maps and Kleinian groups.

Comedy Archaeology: Unearthing The Unproduced Episodes of Iconic Sitcoms as Well as Unmade Comedy Pilots, Specials, and Movies by Richard Irvin
English | September 4, 2024 | ISBN: 9798887715513, 9798887715506 | True EPUB | pages | 1 MB
Do you remember seeing an episode of Bewitched that guest starred comedian Red Skelton, or The Honeymooner's story where Ralph and Alice adopt a puppy, or the Life with Lucy Christmas episode? If you answered "no" to these questions, you are correct. Despite scripts or treatments being written for these shows, none of the episodes were ever produced.

Comedy Archeology not only includes descriptions of unproduced episodes of several classic situation comedies but also summarizes never-made comedy pilots and specials like 1975's Jack Benny's Special Special, a proposed animated pilot called Manor House featuring characters made famous by Jackie Gleason on his variety series, and television host, Steve Allen's proposed science fiction comedy, The Little Woman. The book also details many unmade comedy movies that would have starred the likes of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the Road to India and the Road to the Fountain of Youth, John Belushi in Noble Rot, the four Marx Brothers in Up Spoke the Captain, and others.

Christine Mabon, "Comfort Food: Amazing Friends and the Everyday Stories That Happen Around Food"
English | ISBN: 1733830804 | 2020 | 296 pages | EPUB | 795 KB
Comfort Food: Amazing Friends and the Everyday Stories That Happen Around Friendship is a collection of personal essays about friendship and the foods that brought us together. The book identifies five kinds of friends and is separated into five sections, each one corresponding to one of the five friends and the course of a five-course meal that corresponds to that friend. The friend whom we turn to for encouragement is the appetizer course; the younger and knowledgeable friend who brings vitality and fresh perspectives into our lives is the salad course; the friend who is there to anchor us in times of uncertainty is the entree course; our older, wiser source of wisdom flowing into our lives is the beverage course and the friend whom we turn to when we want to kick back and have sweet fun times finishes our meal as our dessert course. When these friends bring it all together, we enjoy the banquet of life.

Judy Routamaa, "Coming Home: Loss, Grief and Re-entry "
English | ISBN: 1506475345 | 2019 | 72 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Based on qualitative research, this book explores and analyzes issues surrounding the re-entry journey of cross-cultural mission workers. It aims to promote deeper understanding and increased awareness of the complex nature of the re-entry experience, while highlighting loss and grief as a key aspect of it. This book advocates the necessity of a substantially more proactive and rigorous approach in caring for mission personnel as they navigate the hugely challenging transition of "coming home," and concludes with suggestions for ways in which this may be achieved.

Coming of Age : How Adolescence Shapes Us
by Lucy Foulkes
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1847927297 | 227 Pages | True ePUB | 0.59 MB

Drawing on a decade of psychological research, Coming of Age gets beneath the recent myths and age-old stereotypes of adolescence to reveal the real reasons why teens behave as they do.
'Fascinating, moving . . . clear-eyed, unerringly sensible . . . there is insight and kindness throughout this book' Daily Mail
Why do teens take risks? What is it that makes them anxious? How do they think about sex, love, bullying and friendship? Adolescence is often difficult and it shapes us for life, but psychologist Lucy Foulkes shows that too often we fear, dismiss or even try to prevent aspect of it that are crucial to our development. Overturning many mistaken assumptions, she shows that apparent recklessness is usually calculated; that teenagers are socially conservative as much as rebellious; that being popular can be just as hard as being lonely; and that self-consciousness and sensation-seeking are not just normal but useful. Above all, she shows that adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for resilience, empathy and mutual support, and that even the most challenging experiences are part of an essential process of self-discovery.
'Excellent and insightful . . . expertly presented . . . Foulkes is steeped in knowledge about, as well as respect for, teenage life' Observer
'Wonderful and deeply moving . . . shows us the potentially positive aspects of adolescent experiences so often seen as negative' MARK HADDON
*A NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024*

COMING TO NOTHING AND FINDING EVERYTHING: Prison, Headlessness, and The Man in the Other Bathroom By J.C. Amberchele
2019 | 179 Pages | ISBN: 1792662467 | EPUB | 1 MB
All of J.C. Amberchele's books have been rated five stars. Writing of Cracked Open, Amberchele's last book, a reviewer states, "I have read what seems like a billion books about spirituality in the last 50 years. This one is my favorite." Another reviewer reports, "One of the all time best books ever. Period." This new book by J.C. Amberchele continues in the same vein, relating his personal experiences, both in prison and after release, to the timeless Now of awakening and the reoccurring transformation that follows. As Richard Lang, author of "Celebrating Who We Are" writes in the Foreword, "Amberchele writes with honesty, humility and humour, painting with vivid word-pictures his adventures. But what also enables me to enter deeply into his mind and heart is his direct seeing and valuing of the Self at the core of himself, the one who is 'the soul of my soul.'" In the wisdom tradition of the philosopher Douglas Harding, J.C. Amberchele invites us to "come to our senses" and actually See for ourselves Who we really are, rather than blindly accept what someone else has told us. In this book, he encourages us to "look at what we are looking out of" and actually experience our true nature, that which is always available to each of us right now.

Commentaries on Aristotle's "On Sense and What Is Sensed" and "On Memory and Recollection" By St. Thomas Aquinas, Kevin White, Edward M. Macierowski
2005 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0813213797 | PDF | 1 MB
In traditional catalogues of Aristotle's works, "On Sense and What Is Sensed" and "On Memory and Recollection" are the immediate sequels to his "On the Soul," and the first two books of his so-called parva naturalia, or "little works in natural philosophy." In keeping with this order, Thomas Aquinas began his series of Aristotelian commentaries with a commentary on "On the Soul," which he followed with commentaries on "On Sense and What Is Sensed" and "On Memory and Recollection," written in 1268-70. Until now, these latter two commentaries have never been published in English translation. The translations presented in this volume are based on the critical Leonine edition of the commentaries, which includes the Latin translations of the Aristotelian texts on which Aquinas commented. The volume includes English translations of these Latin translations, allowing the reader to compare Aristotelian text and Thomistic commentary in detail. The translations of both commentaries are furnished with introductions and notes by the translators.The commentary on "On Sense and What Is Sensed" is divided into a prologue and eighteen chapters. In the prologue Aquinas makes an important statement concerning the division and order of the theoretical sciences. In the commentary he clarifies and develops the text's discussion of sense-powers, its "application" of sense-powers to organs and objects, and its concluding questions concerning the object and medium of sensation, and the role of the "common sense." In "digressions" from his literal exposition, Aquinas presents discussions bearing on psychology, epistemology, natural philosophy, and metaphysics. The commentary on "On Memory and Recollection" is divided into eight chapters, the first three of which deal with memory, and the last five with recollection. The former part addresses three questions: "What is memory?" "To what part of the soul does memory belong?" and "What is the cause of remembering?" The part on recollection also addresses three questions: "What is recollection?" "How does recollecting take place?" and "What is the difference between memory and recollection?" In "digressions," Aquinas explores more fully the issues arising from the exposition of the text.ABOUT THE TRANSLATORS:Kevin White is associate professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Edward M. Macierowski is associate professor of philosophy and classical languages at Benedictine College.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:"This volume...does the great service of making Aquinas' commentaries on these two short works available in English for the first time..."This volume makes a serious and worthwhile contribution to the study of Aquinas, Aristotle, and the tradition to which they both belong." -- Arthur Madigan, S.J., Review of Metaphysics"The translations are clear and literate... [of] immediate interest to specialists in medieval philosophy and Thomists, especially in so far as it helps to clarify questions of psychology and epistemology in Aquinas' thinking about the soul (anima). -- Thomas Cooksey, The Classical Outlook

Andrea Staiti, "Commentary on Husserl's "Ideas I""
English | ISBN: 3110426285 | 2015 | 352 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Husserl's Ideas for a Pure Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy (1913) is one of the key texts of twentieth century philosophy. It is the first of Husserl's published works to present his distinctive version of transcendental philosophy and to put forward the ambitious claim that phenomenology is the fundamental science of philosophy. In Ideas, Husserl introduces for the first time the conceptual arsenal of his mature phenomenology: the principle of all principles, the phenomenological epoché and reduction, pure consciousness, and the noema. All these difficult notions have been influential and controversial in subsequent philosophy, both analytic and Continental. In this commentary, thirteen leading scholars of Husserlian phenomenology set out to clarify and defend Husserl's views, connecting them to the vast corpus of his published and unpublished writings, and discussing the main available interpretations in the existing scholarship. The result is a detailed and comprehensive account of the most original form of transcendental philosophy since Kant's

Commercial Exchange Across the Mediterranean: Byzantium, the Crusader Levant, Egypt and Italy By David Jacoby
2023 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 0860789802 | EPUB | 1 MB
The customary treatment of Mediterranean trade from the 11th to the mid-15th century emphasizes the predominance of western merchants and the commercial exchange of spices and eastern raw materials for western woollens and other finished products. The studies in this collection, the sixth by David Jacoby to be published in the Variorum series, adopt a different perspective. They underscore the economic vitality of various countries bordering the eastern Mediterranean, their industrial capacity, the importance of exchanges between them, and the important contribution of the merchants based in that region to trans-Mediterranean trade. They also illustrate the role of hitherto neglected commodities, such as timber, iron, silk and cheese, in that trade.

Commitment By Piers Benn
2010 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 1844652319 | PDF | 1 MB
Most of us care about certain people and things, and some of these concerns become personal commitments, involving our values, our relationships, our work and our religious or political stances. But what is commitement, and why should it matter? Is social commitment - for example, to the family - being eroded by individualism or ironic detachment? And how should we deal with the potential tension between devotion to a life-stance, and the doubts prompted by pursuit of rational integrity? In this work, Piers Benn delves into the relationship between commitment and meaningful life, and asks whether commitment must be based on truth to provide such meaning. He also explores obstacles to commitment such as boredom, sloth and indifference. Drawing on his own experience of dithering and procrastination, he suggests that a sceptical, cautious attitude to important matters can be both a virtue and a real obstacle to human fulfillment.

Common Measures: Romanticism and the Groundlessness of Community
by Joseph Albernaz
English | 2024 | ISBN: 150363972X | 371 Pages | PDF | 10.8 MB

What happens to the experience of community when the grounds of communal life collapse? The Romantic period's upheaval cast both traditional communal organizations of life and outgrowths of the new revolutionary age into crisis. In this context, Joseph Albernaz argues that Romantic writers articulate a vital conception of "groundless community," while following this idea through its aesthetic, ecological, political, and philosophical registers into the present. Amidst the violent expropriation of the commons, Romantic writers including the Wordsworths, Clare, Hölderlin, and the revolutionary abolitionist Robert Wedderburn reimagined the forms of their own lives through literature to conceive community as groundless, a disposition toward radically open forms of sharing-including with nonhuman beings-without recourse to any collective identity. Both a poetics and ethics, groundless community names an everyday sociality that surges beneath and against the enclosures of property and identity, binding us to the movements of the earth. Unearthing Romanticism's intersections with the history of communism and the general strike, Albernaz also demonstrates how Romantic literature's communal imagination reverberates through later theories of community in Bataille, Derrida, Nancy, Moten, and others. With sharp close readings, new historical constellations, and innovative theoretical paradigms, Common Measures recasts the relationship of the Romantic period to the basic terms of modernity.

Communities of Informed Judgment: Newman's Illative Sense and Accounts of Rationality By Frederick D. Aquino
2004 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0813213649 | PDF | 1 MB
Is Christian belief rationally acceptable? Must every Christian defend his or her beliefs with exhaustively logical arguments, or is belief solely a matter of faith rather than logical argument? In Communities of Informed Judgment, Frederick D. Aquino offers an alternative route, showing how John Henry Newman's notion of the illative sense of reasoning paves a way for constructing a fresh account of the rationality of Christian belief. Moving beyond both modern and postmodern accounts of rationality, Aquino constructs a proposal of informed judgment, blending Newman's notion of the illative sense of reasoning with recent work in social and virtue epistemology.The first part of the book focuses primarily on Newman's treatment of the illative sense in the Grammar of Assent, with the University Sermons as a backdrop. The second part addresses the problem of securing a common standard of justification. Though Newman acknowledges the social and communal facets of judgment, his focus is primarily on the personal dimension. Aquino develops Newman's insights into a social epistemology of informed judgment, transposing the problem of common measure into a problem of trusting the illative sense as a reliable belief-forming process in communities of informed judgment. An original contribution to Newman studies, the book has an interdisciplinary focus, drawing from recent work in social epistemology, virtue epistemology, and cognitive science. It also takes up issues relevant to the philosophy of religion, epistemology of religious belief, systematic theology, ecumenical dialogue, and studies in John Henry Newman.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Frederick D. Aquino is Assistant Professor of Theology at Abilene Christian University. He serves on the editorial boards of Newman Studies Journal and Christian Higher Education, and is the editor of Journal for Case Teaching.PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:"An important contribution to Newman studies and to the systematic theological investigation of belief formation by merging 'Newman's account of the illative sense with insights from recent work in social and virtue epistemology.' "―Michael C. Martin, Anglican Theological Review "[A] well-executed retrieval and expansion of Newman's concept of the illative sense using the resources of contemporary epistemology in the analytic philosophical tradition."―J.A. Colombo, Theological Studies "Aquino offers invaluable insights into Newman's argument concerning how the formative experiences encountered by an individual within these larger communities contribute to his or her understanding of the relationship shared by faith and reason."- Todd C. Ream, Catholic Books Review "This is a significant work that seeks to encourage a fuller understanding of Newman's thought and the coming to faith. It is highly recommended for serious students of theology."-Lucien J. Richard, OMI Catholic Library World"Frederick D. Aquino has done justice to the complexity of Newman's thought and demonstrated its continuing relevance for theology, epistemology and ethics. He moves confidently between Newman's most important writings on the nature of truth, and the work of contemporary theorists, especially in the field of virtue ethics. His study illuminates aspects of Newman's thought that have often gone unnoticed and gives him a voice in the ongoing debate about the way in which individuals and communities ascertain the truth. By augmenting and challenging Newman's insights with the results of contemporary research, Aquino opens up new perspectives for both Newman studies and theological epistemology."―Prof. Terrence Merrigan, Faculty of Theology, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Robert M. Francescotti, "Companion to Intrinsic Properties"
English | ISBN: 3110290863 | 2014 | 301 pages | PDF | 2 MB
what makes a property intrinsic? What exactly does the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction rest upon, and how can we reasonably justify this distinction? These questions bear great importance on central debates in such diverse philosophical fields as ethics (What is the nature of intrinsic value?), philosophy of mind (Does mental content supervene on internal bodily features?), epistemology (Can intrinsic duplicates differ in the justification of their beliefs?) and philosophy of science (Do the causal powers of an object depend on its extrinsic features?) - to only name a few. Given the central relevance of the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction to philosophical research, a collection of pertinent essays on the topic is an essential addition to the literature. It helps to identify more clearly the problems and arguments that are at stake. The anthology provides a comprehensive overview of central facets of the debates, including both crucial earlier and important new contributions by leading philosophers. As such it constitutes an indispensable component of any serious study of the topic.

Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge by Frank Caprio
English | February 4, 2025 | ISBN: 1637746032 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 12.4 MB
In his four-time Emmy-nominated show Caught in Providence, Judge Frank Caprio's courtroom became a worldwide beacon of compassionate justice-and an unforgettable watch for millions of fans.

Now, Judge Caprio, known as "the Nicest Judge in the World," brings to the page the same wisdom and spirit of decency that viewers around the world have come to treasure.
From 1985, when he first took the bench, to when he stepped down in 2023, Judge Caprio dispensed true compassion to a continuous flow of regular people in his municipal traffic court in Providence, Rhode Island. His courtroom was a place where defendants were treated with dignity, and where the deserving were given a break-not a pass or get-out-of-jail-free card, but the chance to right their lives and care for their families.
In Compassion in the Court, Judge Caprio shares transformative stories and lessons from his life and courtroom, including:
Wisdom he gained from his immigrant parentsStories shared by individuals of all ages who appeared in courtHow he developed the ability to tell when someone is not telling the truthThe power of growing up with someone who believed in him-and how he's tried to provide the same for everyone who appeared before himHow a person's worth isn't measured by the mistakes they make, but by their ability to learn from those mistakes
Judge Caprio's memories will challenge readers to become somebody-to value their past and their family, to confront their realities, and to believe that, through respect, compassion, and understanding, they can succeed. This book will touch your heart, uplift your spirit, and renew your faith in others and in yourself.
