E-book Reconciliation After Violent Conflict : A Handbook

Our starting point for this Handbook is a conviction that the best form of post-conflict government is a democratic one. This is not so much a principled stand as a pragmatic one.

E-book Rebel Cities : From the Right to the City to the Urban Evolution

We live in an era when ideals of human rights have moved centerstage both politically and ethically. A lot of political energy is put into promoting, protecting, and articulating their significance in the construction of a better world. For the most part the concepts circulating are individualistic and property-based and, as such, do nothing to challenge hegemonic liberal and neoliberal market …

Trees are highly visible in most landscapes and are excellent biodiversity indicators. They are ecologically, culturally and economically of vital importance and yet there have been surprising gaps in knowledge of the diversity, distribution, abun…

E-Book Balancing the Self: Medicine, Politics and The Regulation of Health in…

Concepts of ‘balance’ have been central to modern politics, medicine and society. Yet, while many health, environmental and social challenges are discussed globally in terms of imbalances in biological, social and ecological systems, strategies for addressing modern excesses and deficiencies have focused almost exclusively on the agency of the individual. Balancing the Self explores the div…

E-book Airport Operations

The planning and operation of airports must, if they are to be successful, take into account the interactions among these three major components or system actors. For the system to operate well, each of the actors must reach some form of equilibrium with the other two.
