Timm Beichelt, "Homo Emotionalis: On the Systematization of Emotions in Politics"
English | ISBN: 3658390255 | 2022 | 160 pages | EPUB | 771 KB
In this book, important works and approaches of policy-oriented emotion research are brought into a systematic context. For this purpose, three different types of emotions are elaborated, which in their totality constitute Homo Emotionalis: binary emotions, basic emotions, reflexive emotions. They correspond to individual-psychological stages of development, but are also relevant in the social and political handling of emotions. The interplay of emotion types and social constellations leads to different modes of political action, which shape different forms of emotional politics. In each case, individual logics emerge along which emotional politics is pursued. With its interdisciplinary focus, this volume is aimed at political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and social psychologists.

Horses, Power and Place: A More-Than-Human Geography of Equine Britain
by Neil Ward
English | 2024 | ISBN: 103259358X | 207 Pages | True ePUB | 3.8 MB

Horses, Power and Place explores the evolution of humanity's relationship with horses, from early domestication through to the use of the horse as a draught animal, an agricultural, industrial and military asset, and an animal of sport and leisure.
Taking an historical approach, and using Britain as a case study, this is the first book-length exploration of the horse in the more-than-human geography of a nation. It traces the role and implications of horse-based mobility for the evolution of settlement structure, urban morphology and the rural landscape. It maps the growth and various uses of horses to the point of 'peak horse' in the early twentieth century before considering the contemporary place of the horse in twenty-first century economy and society. It assesses the role of the horse in the formation of places within Britain and in the formation of the nation. The book reflects on the implications of this historical and contemporary equine geography for animal geographies and animal studies. It argues for the study of animals in general in how places are made, not just by humans.
Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of animal geography and animal studies more widely.

House of Pain : New and Selected Essays By Laurence Gonzales
2013 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 1557289999 | EPUB | 1 MB
Laurence Gonzales began his successful publishing career in 1989 with the publication of The Still Point and later The Hero's Apprentice (1994), both with the University of Arkansas Press. From these collections of essays he went on to write for renowned magazines in addition to publishing several books, including the best selling Deep Survival. His journalism garnered two National Magazine Awards, and his latest nonfiction book, Surviving Survival, was named by Kirkus as one of the best books of 2012. This new collection of essays shows us the sometimes hair-raising, sometimes heart-wrenching writing that Gonzales has become known for. This "compelling and trustworthy guide" (Booklist) takes us from a maximum-security prison to a cancer ward, from a mental institution to the World Trade Center. Among the essays included is "Marion Prison," a National Magazine Award finalist, with its intimate view inside the most maximum security prison in America. "House of Pain" takes the reader into the life of a brain surgeon at Chicago's Cook County Hospital, a grim world that few ever see. "Rites of Spring," another National Magazine Award finalist, follows Gonzales and his wife on their journey through cancer, not once, but twice. Other stories venture above the Arctic Circle, flying deep into the Alaskan wilderness among grizzly bears and trumpeter swans; explore aerobatics in high-performance aircraft; and eulogize Memphis and Miami as American cities that mourn their fates in uniquely different ways.

Lisa Hill, "How and Why to Regulate False Political Advertising in Australia"
English | ISBN: 9811921229 | 2022 | 183 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This open access book represents the first comprehensive, Australia-focused treatment of the problem of false election information disseminated for the purpose of gaining an electoral advantage. It explores cautious legal regulation as the most effective and decisive approach to the issue. In doing so, the book demonstrates that, although experiments with such remedies have met with mixed success elsewhere, they are nevertheless viable, especially in Australia where they have strong public support and are able to withstand constitutional challenge.

Nikita N. Moiseev, "How Far It Is to Tomorrow"
English | ISBN: 303096650X | 2022 | 413 pages | EPUB | 645 KB
This is a translated autobiography of applied mathematician N. N. Moiseev, providing an insider's view of the history of the Soviet Union from its founding in 1917 to its collapse in 1991, as well as a little of the aftermath.

We see vividly the precariousness of life just after the October Revolution; his happy family life during the years 1921-28 of Lenin's New Economic Policy; the subsequent destruction of his family by Stalin's regime; his trials as a social outcast; his student days at Moscow State University; his experiences as a Soviet Air Force Engineer in World War II, including sorties as a gunner and a brush with an NKVD agent; post-war euphoria, marriage, and another round of ostracism; and then the vicissitudes of a highly varied academic career. Here we meet many famous Soviet and Western engineers and scientists. The last several chapters are devoted more to wide-ranging reflections on God, philosophy, science, communism, modelling the biosphere, and the threat ofnuclear winter. His thoughts concerning the impending and then final collapse of the USSR, as well as hopes for Russia's future, conclude the journey through Moiseev's life.

How Hitler Could Have Won World War II: The Fatal Errors That Led to Nazi Defeat by Bevin Alexander
English | December 11, 2001 | ISBN: 0812932021 | 368 pages | PDF | 9.28 Mb
From an acclaimed military historian, a fascinating account of just how close the Allies were to losing World War II.

Most of us rally around the glory of the Allies' victory over the Nazis in World War II. The story is often told of how the good fight was won by an astonishing array of manpower and stunning tactics. However, what is often overlooked is how the intersection between Adolf Hitler's influential personality and his military strategy was critical in causing Germany to lose the war.
With an acute eye for detail and his use of clear prose,Bevin Alexander goes beyond counterfactual "What if?" history and explores for the first time just how close the Allies were to losing the war. Using beautifully detailed, newly designed maps,How Hitler Could Have Won World War IIexquisitely illustrates theimportant battles and how certain key movements and mistakes by Germany were crucial in determining the war's outcome. Alexander's harrowing study shows how only minor tactical changes in Hitler's military approach could have changed the world we live in today.
Alexander probes deeply into the crucial intersection between Hitler's psyche and military strategy and how his paranoia fatally overwhelmed his acute political shrewdness to answer the most terrifying question: Just how close were the Nazis to victory?

How Long Can the Moon Be Caged?: Voices of Indian Political Prisoners by Suchitra Vijayan, Francesca Recchia
English | August 20, 2023 | ISBN: 0745347983 | 216 pages | PDF | 8.45 Mb
'Those who want to understand the nature of today's political regime in India need to read this book' Christophe Jaffrelot, Professor, King's College London

'A telling account of repression and resistance in the new India' Jean Drèze, Indian economist
'A brave and necessary record of how behind tall prison walls, some of India's finest hearts and minds are locked away by a state fearful of their dreams. A book of aching, terrible beauty' Harsh Mander, writer, human rights and peace worker, teacher
'An important testament to the dystopian state of the nation' Alpa Shah, author of Nightmarch: Among India's Revolutionary Guerrillas
Silencing and punishing critical voices is a project that lies at the heart of Modi's authoritarian regime in India.
In this unique book, Suchitra Vijayan and Francesca Recchia look at present-day India through the lived experiences of political prisoners. Combining political and legal analysis with firsthand testimonies, the authors explore the small gestures that constitute resistance inside and outside jail for the prisoners and their families, telling a story of the destruction of institutions and erosion of rights.
How Long Can the Moon Be Caged? includes visual testimonies and prison writings from those falsely accused of inciting the Bhima Koregaon violence, by student leaders opposing the new discriminatory citizenship law passed in 2020 and by activists from the Pinjra Tod's movement. In bringing together these voices, the book celebrates the courage, humanity and moral integrity of those jailed for standing in solidarity with marginalised and oppressed communities.
Suchitra Vijayan is the author of the critically acclaimed Midnight's Borders. She teaches at NYU Gallatin and is the Executive Director of The Polis Project. Francesca Recchia is an independent educator, researcher and writer. She is the Creative Director of The Polis Project.

David Ian Jeffrey, "How Shakespeare Inspires Empathy in Clinical Care"
English | ISBN: 3031586638, 3031586603 | 2024 | 141 pages | EPUB | 379 KB
This book investigates how a study of Shakespeare's plays may enhance empathy in doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Addressing the widely perceived empathy gap in teaching and medical practice that emerged after the Covid-19 pandemic, the book presents a new study into the psychosocial elements of human interactions. It offers invaluable insights into how students and practitioners may be supported in dealing appropriately with their emotions as well as with those of their patients, thereby facilitating more humane medical care. Fostering an empathic patient-doctor relationship, the author explores the emotional, cognitive and moral dimensions of care and describes how Shakespeare studies can be realistically incorporated into the medical curriculum through group reflections, workshops and special study modules.

How to Make a Revolution? Socialist Strategies in Different Countries
Erkin Özalp
English | 2025 | ISBN: 9786051727332 | 241 Pages | PDF | 1.7 MB

"Is it possible to enable people to make all kinds of decisions about themselves freely by themselves, by ending the domination of small minorities over large majorities?"
In this work, Erkin Özalp, who wrote the book Your Theorist Was a Revolutionary: Marxism and Socialism in the 21st Century and translated many works of Marx and Engels into Turkish, attempts to provide an affirmative answer to the above question by drawing on the relatively recent experiences of struggle in different countries.
Among the many examples examined are the guerrilla war waged by the Maoists in Nepal, Hugo Chávez's Bolivarian Revolution, the Zapatistas' struggle to make a revolution "from below," Syriza's rise to power in Greece and its capitulation, the transformations that Podemos underwent while still in opposition as a party trying to implement the theory of populism in Spain, and the local efforts that brought the Austrian communists the mayoralty of Graz.
Özalp, who evaluates the strategies of struggle implemented after the collapse of the socialist system in light of concrete experiences, discusses in outline how revolutions can be made that are the work of the masses themselves, that do not allow the reappearance of past weaknesses, and that can bring the emancipation of humanity closer, also considering the requirements of the revolutionary struggle in Turkey, and makes concrete suggestions. Without, of course, attempting to offer a ready-made "recipe."

How to Start Solids: Starting Solids for Your Baby with Puree and Finger Foods (The Basic Book for Starting Solid Food and Baby-Led Weaning, Including a 4-Week Guide) by Franka Lederbogen
English | December 5, 2024 | ISBN: 398597215X | 184 pages | PDF | 2.31 Mb
Introducing solid food safely and in a baby-friendly way

Introducing solid food is an important developmental step for babies and presents many parents with problems: When is the right time? What can I offer my baby? How can I make sure my baby is doing well? There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the introduction of solid foods. However, with the right approach, starting your baby on solid food can be an exciting adventure for the whole family. This book is your guide to successfully introduce solid food safely.
Baby-led weaning: Introducing solid food for your baby - pureed or not
In contrast to the classic "step-by-step solid food plan with baby puree" for introducing solid food, this book recommends a needs-oriented start to solid food. The basic idea is that you don't need to follow a rigid plan when introducing solid foods, but rather pay attention to your baby's needs and offer more variety. To this end, various concepts (baby-led weaning, purees, etc.) are presented and supplemented with recipes for healthy baby food and baby-friendly finger food.
The most important basics about starting solids for babies
If you are looking for information on a modern and individual introduction to food complimentary to nursing/formula, you will find it in this edition. Practical step-by-step instructions, combined with sound nutritional knowledge and the latest scientific findings, ensure an optimal start to solids. Everything you need to know about introducing complementary feeding is in this book. Among other things, the following topics are presented:Knowledge of the introduction of solid foodsSigns that your baby is ready for solid foodsIntroducing solid foods with pureed foodIntroducing solid foods baby-led weaning styleSuitable and unsuitable foodsFeeding and independent eatingBaby-friendly nutritionNutrients and allergiesEquipment needed to start solid foodsComplimentary food preparation and storageA balanced baby plateFrequently asked questions about starting solidsRecipes for the first four weeks
In addition to detailed information on starting to wean your baby, you will find numerous tips on how to implement this and baby-friendly recipes. A 4-week step-by-step plan guides you through the first four weeks of introducing solid foods - whether pureed or not. You will receive precise instructions on how to gently and individually introduce your baby to solid food. The recipes have been carefully put together and can be prepared quickly and easily. Food lists and additional variation ideas make preparation easier for you and ensure an optimal start to solid food.
Not a "normal" baby guidebook
This book about modern complementary feeding is not your typical parenting guidebook with glossy photos and incomprehensible theory - it is a collection of proven methods combined with practical knowledge and healthy complementary feeding recipes. The layout of the book was deliberately kept minimalist; unnecessary explanations and images were avoided. This is not only sustainable and environmentally friendly, but also promotes a focused approach: The focus is on nutritional strategies and baby-friendly recipes.
Introducing solids made easy - modern, simple and safe!
This practical guide makes starting solids a breeze. Franka Lederbogen, a nutrtitionist and trained specialist in baby-friendly complementary feeding, provides an overview of the most important rules, answers the most frequently asked questions and shares her best recipes for starting solids. The mother of two knows what challenges the introduction of complementary feeding entails - and how to overcome them. In this book, she shares her many years of experience and presents her nutritional concept for an individual and safe start to solids.

How We Hurt: The Politics of Pain in the Opioid Epidemic by Melina Sherman
English | October 3, 2023 | ISBN: 0197698220 | 202 pages | EPUB | 2.71 Mb
How We Hurt dives into the institutional and cultural dimensions of the ongoing opioid epidemic. In a detailed analysis of pain management, opioid regulation, pharmaceutical branding, self-help, and public discourses on opioid addiction, Melina Sherman argues that the linchpin underlying the opioid epidemic's evolution in North America is the problem of pain. By unpacking the politics of pain in different domains, How We Hurt shows how the crisis emerged and shifted, and why it looks the way it does today. The book's chapters begin by tracing the trajectory of opioids in pain management, where decisions regarding the measurement of pain led to relief becoming wedded to opioids in medicine. The following chapters examine the problem of pain in opioid regulation, pharmaceutical branding, and the self-help industry. In these areas, a disastrous combination of strategic ignorance and deep-seated ties between public health entities and pharmaceutical companies drove the influx of opioids onto the market and into our medicine cabinets. The book's penultimate chapter applies the analysis of pain to the problem of opioid addiction in popular discourse and shows how the opioid crisis has evolved alongside new conceptions of addiction and people who use opioids that condition whose pain is seen as legitimate and whose is not. Finally, the book concludes by considering the implications of its findings for the development of drug policy and future research on public health disasters, insisting on an interdisciplinary and multi-faceted approach to the study of pain and its place American culture.

Hubris, Self-Interest, and America's Failed War in Afghanistan : the Self-Sustaining Overreach By Thomas P. Cavanna
2015 | 364 Pages | ISBN: 1498506194 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book describes the conduct of the US-led post-9/11 war in Afghanistan. Adopting a long-term perspective, it argues that even though Washington initially had an opportunity to achieve its security goals and give Afghanistan a chance to enter a new era, it compromised any possibility of success from the very moment it let bin Laden escape to Pakistan in December 2001, and found itself locked in a strategic overreach. Given the bureaucratic and rhetorical momentum triggered by the war on terror in America, the Bush Administration was bound to deploy more resources in Afghanistan sooner or later (despite its focus on Iraq). The need to satisfy unfulfilled counter-terrorism objectives made the US dependent on Afghanistan's warlords, which compromised the country's stability and tarnished its new political system. The extension of the US military presence made Washington lose its leverage on the Pakistan army leaders, who, aware of America's logistical dependency on Islamabad, supported the Afghan insurgents - their historical proxies - more and more openly. The extension of the war also contributed to radicalize segments of the Afghan and Pakistani populations, destabilizing the area further. In the meantime, the need to justify the extension of its military presence influenced the US-led coalition into proclaiming its determination to democratize and reconstruct Afghanistan. While highly opportunistic, the emergence of these policies proved both self-defeating and unsustainable due to an inescapable collision between the US-led coalition's inherent self-interest, hubris, limited knowledge, limited attention span and limited resources, and, on the other hand, Afghanistan's inherent complexity. As the critical contradictions at the very heart of the campaign increased with the extension of the latter's duration, scale, and cost, America's leaders, entrapped in path-dependence, lost their strategic flexibility. Despite debates on troops/resource allocation and more sophisticated doctrines, they repeated the same structural mistakes over and over again. The strategic overreach became self-sustaining, until its costs became intolerable, leading to a drawdown which has more to do with a pervasive sense of failure than with the accomplishment of any noble purpose or strategic breakthrough.

Motsamai Molefe, "Human Dignity in an African Context"
English | ISBN: 3031373405 | 2023 | 317 pages | EPUB | 429 KB
This book is a contribution to African philosophy, by philosophers focusing specifically on the concept of human dignity in ethical theory. The concept of 'human dignity' denotes the intrinsic and superlative worth associated with human beings in virtue of which we owe them utmost moral regard. Although dignity is a foundational concept for African philosophy, there remains scant literature in African philosophy dedicated to critical and systematic reflection on the concept of human dignity. This volume responds to this lacuna by bringing together chapters that offer philosophical exposition, defense (or even rejection) and application of the concept of human dignity in light of intellectual resources in African cultures, such as ubuntu, personhood, and serithi.

Gregorie Dupuis-Mc Donald, "Human Migration and Complex Systems Science: Conceptual and Methodological Foundations "
English | ISBN: 3031650565 | 2024 | 109 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book provides a novel perspective on human migration dynamics by examining it through the lenses of complex systems science and philosophy of science. It posits that human migration is not a simple linear process but rather a dynamic phenomenon driven by a multitude of causal factors evolving within complex systems. This book unravels the conceptual and methodological foundations of a complex systems approach to migration, elucidating its ability to explain the intricate causation inherent in migration processes. Additionally, it acknowledges the constraints and challenges faced when adopting this perspective.

The research sets out to answer two fundamental questions: (1) Does migration exhibit the dynamics and properties of a complex system? and (2) What are the distinct advantages of employing a complex systems approach for studying migration? The author argues that a complex systems approach provides an integrated framework that comprehensively captures the multilevel structure of migration processes. By doing so, it enables the identification of causation across various scales and elucidates the emergence of complex properties in migration phenomena.

Riccardo Bonfiglioli, "Human Nature, Mind and the Self in Adam Smith's Moral Philosophy: What Does it Mean to Be Human?"
English | ISBN: 3031567781 | 2024 | 239 pages | EPUB | 383 KB
This book investigates the problematisation in Adam Smith's moral philosophy of a classical question: what makes us human beings from a moral standpoint? To do this, Riccardo Bonfiglioli explores the relationship between the concepts of 'human nature', 'mind' and 'the self' in order to reconstruct Smith's theory of subjectivity. After providing a systematic reconstruction of Adam Smith's conceptions of 'human nature' , 'mind' and 'the self' - exploring some aspects of Smith's philosophy (nature, philosophy of history, sympathy and imagination) and their empirical expressions (education, conduct and character) - Bonfiglioli argues that, in Adam Smith's work, the meaning of 'moral human beings' would depend on the human being's effort to live in harmony with oneself and the others. According to Bonfiglioli, in Smith's moral theory, this 'harmony with oneself and the others' would be achieved in relation to a certain kind of awareness that can be possible when human beings try to judge the conduct and try to act according to the impartial spectator. Specifically, this impartial spectator is reinterpreted by the author in the light of the concept of immediacy.
