In The Urban Apparatus, Reinhold Martin analyzes urbanization and the contemporary city in aesthetic, socioeconomic, and mediapolitical terms. He argues that understanding the city as infrastructure reveals urbanization to be a way of imparting functional, aesthetic, and cognitive order to a contradictory, doubly bound neoliberal regime. ![]() The Strategic Survey 2020 by The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) 2020 | ISBN: 0367701189 | English | 396 pages | PDF | 20 MB Strategic Survey 2020 The Annual Assessment of Geopolitics

![]() The Italic People of Ancient Apulia: New Evidence from Pottery for Workshops, Markets, and Customs by T. H. Carpenter, K. M. Lynch, E. G. D. Robinson 2014 | ISBN: 1107041864 | English | 369 pages | True PDF | 22 MB The focus of this book is on the Italic people of Apulia during the fourth century B.C., when Italic culture seems to have reached its peak of affluence. Scholars have largely ignored these people and the region they inhabited. During the past several decades archaeologists have made significant progress in revealing the cultures of Apulia through excavations of habitation sites and un-plundered tombs, often published in Italian journals. This book makes the broad range of recent scholarship - from new excavations and contexts to archaeometric testing of production hypotheses to archaeological evidence for reconsidering painter attributions - available to English-speaking audiences. In it thirteen scholars from Italy, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Australia present targeted essays on aspects of the cultures of the Italic people of Apulia during the fourth century BC and the surrounding decades. ![]() The Edinburgh Companion to Ezra Pound and the Arts (Edinburgh Companions to Literature and the Humanities) by Roxana Preda 2019 | ISBN: 1474429173 | English | 560 pages | True PDF | 62 MB Showcases Ezra Pound's close involvement with the arts throughout his career ![]() Surrogate Warfare: The Transformation of War in the Twenty-First Century by Andreas Krieg, Jean-Marc Rickli 2019 | ISBN: 1626166781, 1626166773 | English | 244 pages | PDF | 2 MB Surrogate Warfare explores the emerging phenomenon of "surrogate warfare" in twenty-first century conflict. The popular notion of war is that it is fought en masse by the people of one side versus the other. But the reality today is that both state and non-state actors are increasingly looking to shift the burdens of war to surrogates. Surrogate warfare describes a patron's outsourcing of the strategic, operational, or tactical burdens of warfare, in whole or in part, to human and/or technological substitutes in order to minimize the costs of war. This phenomenon ranges from arming rebel groups, to the use of armed drones, to cyber propaganda. Krieg and Rickli bring old, related practices such as war by mercenary or proxy under this new overarching concept. Apart from analyzing the underlying sociopolitical drivers that trigger patrons to substitute or supplement military action, this book looks at the intrinsic trade-offs between substitutions and control that shapes the relationship between patron and surrogate. Surrogate Warfare will be essential reading for anyone studying contemporary conflict. ![]() Religion Around John Donne by Joshua Eckhardt 2019 | ISBN: 0271083379 | English | 208 pages | EPUB | 1 MB In this volume, Joshua Eckhardt examines the religious texts and books that surrounded the poems, sermons, and inscriptions of the early modern poet and preacher John Donne.
