E-book Picturing Mind: Paradox, Indeterminacy And Consciousness in Art & Poetry

In this book the author takes an unusual multi-disciplinary approach to debates about contemporary art and poetry, ideas about the mind and its representations, and theories of knowledge and being.

E-book Colombia: What Everyone Needs to Know®

Colombia's recent past has been characterized by what its Nobel laureate Gabriel García Marquez once called "a biblical holocaust" of human savagery. Along with the scourge of drug-related massacres facing the country, politically-motivated assassinations (averaging 30 per day in the 1990s), widespread disappearances, rapes, and kidnappings have run rampant through the country for decades.

E-book Modelling the Logistics of Mantzikert

This was a desire common not only to the Traditionalists but to De Biran and Cousin. They aimed at intellectual reconstruction.

The following examines that thesis through an analysis of the current state of what globally could be called the “m…

E-book Manhua Modernity : Chinese Culture and the Pictorial Turn

Thinking back, it seems fitting that my relationship with manhua, usually called cartoons or comics in English, started with a magazine, because this book is about both. Why both? Cartoons are cartoons, and magazines are magazines; what is to be gained by combining the two? My reply is that many hours spent marveling at, puzzling over, and gradually deciph…

Originating in the principality of Normandy that took its name from the ‘men of the north’ who came from Scandinavia to settle on the French coast from the ninth century onwards, the Normans then established themselves during the eleventh century in two main areas some , mil…
