Описание: This book questions the conventional image of the West as the leader and the Rest as the follower in the making of global order. It discusses how non-Western actors have been a challenger as well as contributor of ideas and norms that have shaped change and transformation in world politics.
Completeset of three Chesterton Apologetics by G. K. Chesterton in one volume, including Heretics, Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man.
Heretics - Chesterton discusses ideas by H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Kipling and others of his day in his argument for God.
From the 1905 British edition, it includes great thoughts such as these:
"The modern world is filled with men who hold dogmas so strongly that they do not even know that they are dogmas."
Orthodoxy - Arranged upon a riddle and an answer, it tells how Chesterton himself went from pagan, to agnostic, to staunch Christian. From the 1908 British Edition.
The Everlasting Man - Chesterton successfully challenges the view that man is just another evolutionary animal, and that Jesus Christ was only human. C. S. Lewis said it was the best popular defense of the full Christian position.
From the 1925 British Edition, it includes great thoughts such as these:
"The life of man is a story; an adventure story; and in our vision the same is true even of the story of God."
"Atheists may continue to war with Christianity, but it will be as they war with nature; as they war with the landscape, as they war with the skies."
Witty, deep, and positively entertaining, no student of thought should be without this historic book. This edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.

Описание: Examines how strategies within social movements develop and work
Описание: Has politics reached breaking point? Rather than defending liberalism or turning away from it, how can a society go about building a socialist alternative?
In this text, Peadar Kirby investigates the causes of our current global crisis, drawing on the work of Karl Polanyi. Kirby explores Polanyi's theory that social disruptions have been caused by the attempt to run society according to the rules of the market. The author uses these ideas to tackle weaknesses in Marxism and demonstrate how we can build a strong alternative theory. By linking the ecological and socio-economic crises, Kirby highlights how an alternative socio-economic model is emerging, consistent with the insights of Polanyi, which he terms ecosocialism.
This text provides an urgent intervention into the key debates surrounding politics, social policy and international relations.

Описание:
Since the global financial crisis of 2008, advanced economies have been making various efforts to overcome the economic impasse. While the contrast between the countries that have escaped from the crisis relatively quickly and those still suffering from serious problems is becoming clearer, a new economic crisis stemming from newly emerging economies has again impacted advanced economies. In retrospect, both leftist and rightist governments in advanced economies pursued expansive macroeconomic and welfare policies from the post-WWII period to the oil shocks of the 1970s. While we recognise that the particular policy regime in this 'Golden Decades' during which the left and the right implemented similar policies cross-nationally, were characterised by outstanding economic growth in each country, the specific growth patterns varied across countries. Different social coalitions underpinned different growth models.
This book is premised on tentative conclusions that Magara and her research collaborators have reached as a result of three years of study related to our previous project on economic crises and policy regimes. Recognising the need to analyse fluid and unstable situations, we have set up a new research design in which we emphasise political variables--whether political leaders and citizens can overcome the various weaknesses inherent in democracy and escape from an economic crisis by establishing an effective social coalition. A new policy regime can be stable only if it is supported by a sufficiently large coalition of social groups whose most important policy demands are satisfied within the new policy regime.
Описание: How should a free society protect privacy? Dramatic changes in national security law and surveillance, as well as technological changes from social media to smart cities mean that our ideas about privacy and its protection are being challenged like never before. In this interdisciplinary book, Chris Berg explores what classical liberal approaches to privacy can bring to current debates about surveillance, encryption and new financial technologies. Ultimately, he argues that the principles of classical liberalism – the rule of law, individual rights, property and entrepreneurial evolution – can help extend as well as critique contemporary philosophical theories of privacy.

Описание:
?Build functioning wind turbines that generate electricity; we don’t mean LEGO models that look like miniature wind turbines. This book is for people who want to learn how real turbines work, and to build them using LEGO and Mindstorms EV3.
You’ll find specific instructions on building, links to parts purchasing, distillation of complex science ideas into practice, and pointers for trying something new. With the knowledge you gain here, you’ll be able to compete in turbine design competitions, such as the KidWind Challenge, Collegiate Wind Competition, and locally organized contests. Examples are given that fit within the KidWind Challenge, including adherence to rules of the competition such as that a specific generator be used.
The complexity of making a wind turbine a can make it difficult to know where to start. This book addresses many aspects of the turbine with practical examples. You'll follow specific design instructions for turbine construction, supported by suggestions and background science to go in new directions. Assembly diagrams are used throughout, made with the Studio utility from bricklink.com. Parts are identified in the assembly diagram, as well as in parts lists in the Appendix.
What You'll Learn
Build a turbine from scratchUse LEGO to learn aspects of electrical engineering, such as loading turbine output and impedance matchingConnect a generator to do useful things such as charging a battery or powering LEDs
See how generators, gear systems, aerodynamic blades, lab and outdoor testing, and power output are used.
Who This Book Is For
Adult fans of LEGO and hardware hackers. Also coaches or students involved in a school science/technology project or design competition.
