Formaldehyde, borax, salicylic acid. Today, these chemicals are used in embalming fluids, cleaning supplies, and acne medications. But in 1900, they were routinely added to food that Americans ate from cans and jars.

Davide Panagia, "The Poetics of Political Thinking"
English | ISBN: 0822337185 | 2006 | 192 pages | PDF | 838 KB
In The Poetics of Political Thinking Davide Panagia focuses on the role that aesthetic sensibilities play in theorists' evaluations of political arguments. Examining works by thinkers from Thomas Hobbes to Jacques Rancière, Panagia shows how each one invokes aesthetic concepts and devices, such as metaphor, mimesis, imagination, beauty, and the sublime. He argues that it is important to recognize and acknowledge these poetic forms of representation because they provide evaluative standards that theorists use in appraising the value of ideas-ideas about justice, politics, and democratic life. An investigation into the intertwined histories of aesthetic and political accounts of representation-such as Panagia presents here-sheds light on how modes of poetic thinking delimit the questions of unity and diversity that continue to animate contemporary political theory.

Hassan Melehy, "The Poetics of Literary Transfer in Early Modern France and England"
English | ISBN: 0754664457 | 2010 | 290 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Examining both familiar and under appreciated texts, Hassan Melehy foregrounds the relationships that early modern French and English writers conceived with both their classical predecessors and authors from flourishing literary traditions in neighboring countries. In order to present their own avowedly national literatures as successfully surpassing others, they engaged in a paradoxical strategy of presenting other traditions as both inspiring and dead. Each of the book's four sections focuses on one early modern author: Joachim Du Bellay, Edmund Spenser, Michel de Montaigne, and William Shakespeare. Melehy details the elaborate strategies that each author uses to rewrite and overcome the work of predecessors. His book touches on issues highly pertinent to current early modern studies: among these are translation, the relationship between classicism and writing in the vernacular, the role of literature in the consolidation of the state, attitudes toward colonial expansion and the "New World," and definitions of modernity and the past.

The Perverse Economy: The Impact of Markets on People and the Environment By Michael Perelman
2003 | 225 Pages | ISBN: 1403962715 | PDF | 6 MB
From Adam Smith to the present day, economic theory has shortchanged the workers most crucial to the functioning of human life and offered skewed views of scarcity and extraction. Perelman shows how this approach has produced a discipline in which its followers' models and representations of the world around them are so removed from reality that continuing to abide by them would jeopardize both human capacities and nature itself.

The Ordinary Spaceman: From Boyhood Dreams to Astronaut by Clayton C. Anderson
English | June 1, 2015 | ISBN: 0803262825 | 400 pages | PDF | 17 Mb
What's it like to travel at more than 850 MPH, riding in a supersonic T-38 twin turbojet engine airplane? What happens when the space station toilet breaks? How do astronauts "take out the trash" on a spacewalk, tightly encapsulated in a space suit with just a few layers of fabric and Kevlar between them and the unforgiving vacuum of outer space?

Shashi Tharoor, Samir Saran, "The New World Disorder And The Indian Imperative"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 8194233739 | 312 pages | MOBI | 1 MB
The world is in a state of disorder. As we approach the end of the Second decade of the twenty-first century, all about us is chaos. The rise of the East is viewed with scepticism and fear by the West. The international liberal order is facing a moment of crisis. With Darwinism (or the survival of the strongest and fittest) having guided the construction and management of international systems of governance for seven decades, it is no surprise that as sweeping change overtakes the world, There are no longer many takers for these arrangements. Globalization is confronted by economic nationalism. Strong leaders are exploiting the grievances of citizens (whether imagined or real) to discard global ideals and champion local interests. And the prospects of a 'global village', of the world coming ever closer together, seem to be in reversal. A zero-sum approach to development and the Securitization of growth are creating new potential for conflict at a time when the institutions of global governance are weaker than ever before. The new World disorder and the Indian imperative is a major study of this new world order. In tracing the roots of our current predicaments to the inequity of the post-war international structure, it explains the situation that obtains at present. The book identifies the new actors and ideas that will emerge from the remnants of the old dispensation to script The architecture of the twenty-first century. India, The authors argue, has a major role to play in shaping the regimes of the future given its size, growing clout, and stake in practically every major multilateral organization. India's sustained commitment to constitutional democracy and its unique identity as a non-hegemonic global power will be central to its leadership role. In today's multipolar, contested, and uncertain world, India may well be the only country with the credentials and capability to script an equitable ethic for a new international order.
