E-book Modern Folk Devils : Contemporary Constructions of Evil

E-book Ancient Greence : From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times

“Most things in the history of Greece have become a subject of dispute” is how Pausanias, the second-century a.d. author of a famous guide to sites throughout Greece, summed up the challenge and the fascination of thinking about the significance of ancient Greek history (Guide to Greece 4.2.3). The subject was disputed then because Pausanias, a Greek, lived and wrote under the Roman Empire,…

E-book Gianni Versace

Versace posed and provoked the basic issues of fashion's role. Versace tantalized us with vulgarity. In this, he adapted a strategy from the fine arts in the twentieth century, including elements of the banal and coarse in his sensibility.

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.

Balancing the Self explores the div…

E-book The Potrait of a Lady

Trying to recover here, for recognition, the germ of my idea, I see that it must have consisted not at all in any conceit of a "plot", nefarious name, in any flash, upon the fancy, of a set of relations, or in any one of those situations that, by a logic of their own, immediately fall, for the fabulist, into movement into a march or a rush, a patter of quick steps; but altogether in the sense o…

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.

The Holocaust provided the background to the Genocide Convention that was adopted by the member sta…

Germany is considered a lauded land of music: outstanding composers, celebrated performers and famous orchestras exert great international appeal.

E-book Abrahamic Reflections on Randomness and Providence

This open access book addresses the question of how God can providentially govern apparently ungovernable randomness.

E-book Migrants shaping Europe, past and present

This comparative volume advances an argument about the sustained contribu-tion of migrants to Europe’s literatures, social cultures, and arts.Firstly, those named most often by others as “migrants” do not represent a sudden, unprecedented crisis, as pundits and politicians continue to claim, with successive waves of migration. Instead, people arriving in the Spanish enclaves in Morocco, l…

E-book Big and Little Histories : Sizing Up Ethics in Historiography

No two histories are the same size. Some are so tiny that you can nestle them in your hand, their translucent pages fluttering with your breath.

Some hold us enthralled with split-second events in tiny places, othe…

E-book Physical Geodesy

In this chapter we present the foundations of Newton’s theory of gravitation. Intuitively, the theory of gravitation is easiest to understand as “action at a distance,” Latin actio ad distans, where the force between two masses is proportional to the masses themselves, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is the form of Newton’s general law of grav…

E-book Geodesy : The Science Underneath

In traditional societies, undoubtedly the most common conception of the figure of the Earth was that the Earth is a flat disc extending to the horizon, with the sky curving like a dome over her. On the inner surface of the dome, the celestial bodies describe their complicated orbits. Children also have generally the same conception. Only with formal education does this “naïve world model” …
