The Joke of Reality: Critique of Representation by Tristan Burt English | 2025 | ISBN: 3111334740 | 310 Pages | PDF | 6 MB In his Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant noted that the understanding intuits nothing. Now, the significance of this insight comes to light. Tristan Burt explains why our intuition of nothing resolves a central philosophical problem: how can we know what is (absolutely) real? The answer to this question is as surprising, and amusing, as reality itself.

Hiroaki Richard Watanabe, "The Japanese Economy (World Economies)" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1788210514 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 1.9 mb Although still the world's third largest economy, Japan continues to feel the effects of the collapse of a massive asset price bubble in the early 1990s. In recent years further setbacks, including both the Asian and global financial crises, and the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, have only added to the economy's difficulties and made its prospects under Abenomics at best mixed. Hiroaki Richard Watanabe examines the ups and downs of Japan's postwar economic history to offer an up-to-date and authoritative guide to the workings of Japan's economy. The book highlights the country's distinct business networks and its unique state-market relationship. It explores the characteristic institutional complementarity that exists among different sectors and business practices and gives particular attention to human factors, such as labour market dualism, gender discrimination and migration. Although often associated in western minds with futuristic automated efficiency, Japan's economy, Watanabe shows, retains many inefficient and peculiar business practices that do not comply with global standards. The book provides readers with a concise survey of Japan's recent economic history, the economy's characteristic features and the challenges it faces.

The Iron Age: A History from Beginning to End by Hourly History English | 2024 | ASIN: B0D7ZSDD5Q | 108 Pages | AZW3 | 1.24 MB Discover the remarkable history of the Iron Age... The Stone Age saw the first human success in making tools and weapons. During the Bronze Age, these items were improved and refined by blending copper and tin to create an alloy called bronze. However, since copper and tin are rarely found together, the making of bronze required reliable trade routes between distant places. When these routes collapsed around 1200 BCE, people began to look for an alternative material from which to make durable tools and weapons. The solution was steel smelted from iron ore, which was abundant and found in many locations. Suddenly, it was possible to create effective tools and weapons without being reliant on imports, paving the way for the rise of some of the first large-scale armies and even to the emergence of the first true empires. This book delves into the Iron Age, exploring its origins, its rapid dissemination, and the profound transformations it brought to human societies. This is the story of how iron reshaped the ancient world. Discover a plethora of topics such as The Beginning of the Iron Age The Arrival of the Celts Mysterious Bog Bodies Weapons, Warfare, and the First Empires Life in the Iron Age The Rise of Rome and the End of the Iron Age And much more!

The International Organization for Migration in North Africa: Making International Migration Management by Inken Bartels English | 2022 | ISBN: 103206854X | 261 Pages | True PDF | 4.2 MB This book examines the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) practices of international migration management and studies current transformations of migration governance and the role of international organizations outside Europe. While so-called migration crises in North Africa in 2005 and 2011 made the instability of the increasingly militarized border regime visible, they also created space for new actors and instruments to emerge under the label of international migration management, promising softer forms to control migration outside Europe. Who are these actors, and how do they think and practice migration control without the use of physical force and obvious repression? This book develops an innovative theoretical framework that mobilizes Bourdieu's Theory of Practice to critically investigate the work of the IOM in Morocco and Tunisia between 2005 and 2015. Analyzing its information campaigns, voluntary return programs, and anti-trafficking politics, the book shows how this organization teaches (potential) migrants and North African actors to understand migration as their own problem and its management as their own responsibility. This book advances our understanding of the complex and ambivalent practices of controlling migration through information, protection and repatriation, and the implications of ubiquitous but underresearched institutions, such as the IOM, in this contested field. It will appeal to postgraduates, researchers, and academics in International Relations Theory, Border and Migration Studies, International Political Sociology, international organizations, and contemporary politics in North Africa.

The Importance of Non-Christian Religions in the Philosophy of Pierre Bayle by Marta García-Alonso, John Christian Laursen English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031648641 | 212 Pages | True PDF | 4.7 MB This book offers a fresh perspective on early modern philosophy by highlighting Pierre Bayle's engagement with non-Christian sources. If our major political, ethical, and epistemic doctrines were solely rooted in Christian genealogies, it would seem necessary to include Christianity in the European Constitution. However, this book reveals a different story. The anthropological insights gained from encounters with other lands not only enriched the ethical and political discussions of philosophers, historians, and literati, but also paralleled the incorporation of empirical data from these regions into fields like medicine, botany, or navigation. These accounts became the building blocks for ethical and political thought, a wellspring of new ideas, thereby making the understanding of other cultures and religions pivotal in reflecting upon the specificities of Europe. Pierre Bayle's work exemplifies this transformative influence.

The Houdini Club: The Epic Journey and Daring Escapes of the First Army Rangers of WWII by Mir Bahmanyar English | 2025 | ISBN: 1635769787 | 352 Pages | True ePUB | 15.5 MB Highlighted by the prisoner-of-war escapes that earned them the name "The Houdini Club," here is the elite combat odyssey of World War II's "Darby's Rangers" as never told before-drawing on previously unknown sources and former Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar's exclusive, uncensored interviews with the greatest generation of Rangers themselves. Spotlighting their legendary escapes from German World War II prisoner-of-war camps, so miraculous that this band of jailbreakers was dubbed "The Houdini Club," military historian and retired Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar delivers a thrilling, personality-driven account of the first United States Army Ranger battalion-from their rugged Ranger training to their battles in North Africa, France, Sicily, and mainland Italy, and (for some) finally back to American shores. Drawing upon unprecedented historical research, his own military-service expertise, and his exclusive interviews and personal correspondence with original Greatest Generation Army Rangers, Bahmanyar has crafted an uncensored work of military history in the tradition of The Longest Day, With the Old Breed, and Band of Brothers. The Houdini Club captures the personal drama of World War II Special Forces warfare. The men of maverick Colonel William O. Darby's Rangers had abundant tales of glory, yes, but also tales of misery, fear, and murderous intent. Then, there was the utter exhaustion contrasted by the thrill of combat, the devastating final battle that all but destroyed them, and the ingenuity and sheer determination that made the highly vaunted German Afrika Korps and veteran German Parachute and Panzer units marvel at their guerilla tactics and their prison breakouts. Published to coincide with the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, The Houdini Club puts readers on the ground alongside the Rangers who made victory in Europe possible, portraying in gritty detail the lives and acts of one of the American military's greatest collection of men.

The Homelessness of Being: Heidegger and the Meaning of Existence by Prashan Ranasinghe English | 2024 | ISBN: 177212768X | 229 Pages | PDF | 2 MB The Homelessness of Being invites readers to consider what it means to be human. This dialogue between sociology and the early and middle phases of Heidegger's writings argues that to be human is to be homeless. This homelessness is not one of materiality, of being houseless, but one that is ontological: the homelessness that constitutes the essence of humanity, where one is disconnected from the essence of one's self or being. Prashan Ranasinghe theorizes this homelessness as an indeterminate nothingness, where the notion of being is unsettled because it is an amalgam of something and nothing. More broadly, the book adds to existing debates about whether―especially after the global pandemic―the social sciences have failed to explore everyday affects such as anxiety and boredom as revelatory of the essential homelessness of being human. It will interest philosophers, sociologists, and scholars engaging with Heidegger's ideas.

The Hollow Half: A Memoir of Bodies and Borders by Sarah Aziza English | April 22nd, 2025 | ISBN: 1646222431 | 400 pages | True EPUB | 2.36 MB A brush with death. An ancestral haunting. A century of family secrets. Sarah Aziza's searing, genre-bending memoir traces three generations of diasporic Palestinians from Gaza to the Midwest to New York City-and back "You were dead, Sarah, you were dead." In October 2019, Sarah Aziza, daughter and granddaughter of Gazan refugees, is narrowly saved after being hospitalized for an eating disorder. The doctors revive her body, but it is no simple thing to return to the land of the living. Aziza's crisis is a rupture that brings both her ancestral and personal past into vivid presence. The hauntings begin in the hospital cafeteria, when a mysterious incident summons the familiar voice of her deceased Palestinian grandmother. In the months following, as she responds to a series of ghostly dreams, Aziza unearths family secrets that reveal the ways her own trauma and anorexia echo generations of violent Palestinian displacement and erasure-and how her fight to recover builds on a century of defiant survival and love. As she moves towards this legacy, Aziza learns to resist the forces of colonization, denial, and patriarchy both within and outside her. Weaving timelines, languages, geographies, and genres, The Hollow Half probes the contradictions and contingencies that create "nation" and "history." Blazing with honesty, urgency, and poetry, this stunning debut memoir is a fearless call to imagine both the self and the world anew.

The History of the Physiologus in Early Medieval England by Mercedes Salvador-Bello English | 2025 | ISBN: 2503598404 | 455 Pages | True PDF | 8.2 MB The Physiologus is the ancestor of the bestiary, a collection of chapters describing animal qualities and behaviours, usually with an allegorical meaning, which proliferated especially in England in the late Middle Ages. While much scholarly attention has been directed to the bestiary, the history of the transmission of the Physiologus has hardly been investigated. Evidence of the circulation of this treatise in the early medieval period is certainly scanty, since only two brief versions dating from this period have been preserved, one in Old English and another one in Latin. However, this monograph shows further proof of the knowledge of the Physiologus in Anglo-Saxon England. It also reveals the relationship of the only two surviving texts and their connection to the main Continental recension of the time. This study therefore demonstrates that the popularity of bestiaries in the later Middle Ages was largely due to the prominence that its predecessor, the Physiologus, enjoyed in the preceding period.

Michael C. Sloan, "The Harmonius Organ of Sedulius Scottus: Introduction to His Collectaneum in Apostolum and Translation of Its Prologue and Commentaries on Galatians and Ephesians" English | 2012 | ISBN: 3110281228 | PDF | pages: 265 | 1.3 mb This book introduces and translates Sedulius Scottus' Prologue (to the entire Collectaneum in Apostolum) and commentaries on Galatians and Ephesians. The introduction outlines the historical context of composition, identifies Sedulius' literary model - Servius, discusses Sedulius' organizing trope for the Prologue - the septem circumstantiae, asserts for what purpose and for whom he composed the Collectaneum, explains pertinent philological and stylistic issues, such as formatting, existing (or lack thereof) traits of Hiberno Latin, and Sedulius' knowledge of Greek, and it explores his use of exegetical and theological sources - predominantly Jerome, Augustine, and Pelagius. Since the commentaries are based upon these formative religious authors (among many others), the introduction also surveys Sedulius' doctrinal stances on important theological and ecclesiastical issues of his own time with particular relation to his reception of these authors. Sedulius' Collectaneum in Apostolum reveals an erudite author familiar with the style of classical commentaries, which he uses to harmonize the sometimes discordant voices of patristic authors for the purposes of education in accordance with Carolingian programmatic aims.

The Great Siege of Malta by Marcus Bull English | August 19th, 2025 | ISBN: 0241523656 | 352 pages | True EPUB | 15.09 MB A major new account of the epic siege of the island fortress of Malta Even as the great siege began it was understood by both sides to be an epic - a potentially decisive encounter between an uneasy assortment of soldiers, native Maltese, adventurers and Knights Hospitaller on a strategically crucial but near waterless island and a vast, seemingly all-powerful Ottoman armada. With three quarters of the Mediterranean's coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta. This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context. While since mistakenly recast as a climactic battle between the West and the East, it was also much more interesting and nuanced than that - both sides had many other interests and priorities beyond Malta. Süleyman the Magnificent had conquered and subsumed regions from Hungary to the Persian Gulf; Philip II was building an empire in America and Asia. Drawing on a wide range of eyewitness stories, Marcus Bull gives a vivid sense of the period's technologies, values and assumptions. It was a grim world built on the labour of many thousands of disposable galley-slaves, shockingly brutal forms of warfare and religious absolutism. But it was also a world filled with the most extraordinary new discoveries and ideas. Both these worlds come together in the siege and in this book.

The Great Redan at Sebastopol: The Most Victoria Crosses Awarded for a Single Action by James W. Bancroft English | July 9th, 2024 | ISBN: 139906052X | 224 pages | True EPUB | 25.38 MB On 18 June 1855, the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, British assault troops moved out of their trenches before Sebastopol in the Crimea, and attacked the formidable Russian bastion known as the Great Redan. They came under such a murderous fire from the Russian defenders that the attack faltered, and the British were eventually forced to fall back. As they did so, they left over 1,000 comrades dead and dying out in the open and at the mercy of enemy snipers. The Siege of Sebastopol saw the development of trench warfare for the first time. Using eyewitness accounts and unpublished letters, the author tells the story of how the men coped with the terrible conditions as they prepared for the assault - as well as the events during and after the fighting. Among the anecdotes is an officer who had the ingenious idea of warming up cannon balls in the camp fires and taking them into the tents at night to keep warm; and he went on to live for over a hundred years! Well-known for his depth of research, the author questions a number of points regarding the Great Redan that are commonly believed to be historical fact. Quoting the father of Alexander the Great, it was the Russians who, soon after the assault on the Great Redan, first referred to the British as, 'An army of lions led on by donkeys'. For over 100 years it was stated in many publications that the most Victoria Crosses awarded for a single action was the eleven presented for actions during the defense of Rorke's Drift during the Zulu War in 1879. However, as the author reveals, twenty of the lions who fought at the Great Redan received Britain's highest gallantry award, in whole, or in part, for their actions on 18 June 1855. The book includes biographical tributes to many of the men who were killed in action, gives details of the places where they are commemorated, and provides biographies with all the up-to-date information concerning the twenty Victoria Cross recipients.

The Great Mughals presents, for the first time, the opulent, internationalist culture of Mughal Hindustan in the age of its greatest emperors: Akbar (r. 1556-1605), Jahangir (r. 1605-27) and Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58).

The Good Daughter: A memoir of losing my father and finding home by Kumi Taguchi English | 2025 | ISBN: 1925750795 | 304 Pages | True ePUB | 12.5 MB 'At once so personal, yet utterly universal. A visceral, thoughtful and emotionally compelling story.' Melissa Leong In a beautifully crafted memoir of captivating emotional honesty, the SBS Insight host sets out to understand the dad she never really knew, and - along the way - herself. Growing up, Kumi Taguchi thought her father was merely distant: reserved, obsessively frugal and - after her parents' divorce - almost entirely missing. When he died, Kumi's feelings about him and the Japanese heritage he had given her remained tangled. But just because a parent has gone doesn't mean they're absent. Over time Kumi came to understand more about what made her father as he was, including his experiences as a child in wartime Japan and, above all, the culture she both loved and felt burdened by. She decided to travel to Japan to find the family home, and perhaps lay to rest some ghosts. In this highly evocative journey of understanding, Kumi explores her divided self: the tension between duty and freedom; the people she's felt drawn to and lost; and how to find your place when caught between two worlds.
