While many historical investigations into prisons have revolved around the important question of punishment, this work moves beyond that more narrow approach to consider the multifunctional practices of detaining the body in ancient Iraq. It is the contention of this book that imprisonment arose out of the desire to control and detain the body in relation to labor. The practice of detainment for coercion became adaptable to a variety of circumstances and goals, which shaped the contexts and practices of imprisonment. With time, religious ideology was attached to imprisonment. In one literary text, a prisoner was refined like silver and

Much effort has been expended to present the reader with comprehensive discussions about gamification from the kindergarten level to the tertiary level of education. As a result, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in learning more about the concept of gamification. This book's chapters are separated into two categories, namely: (i) concept article and (ii) research article. The authors of each chapter made every attempt to be accessible and appropriate to the majority of interested parties, such as prospective teachers and researchers. Readers will be able to delve into the theories that underpin the concept of gamification in each concept article, including Game Theory, definitions, and gamification features. The basic concepts mentioned show that this book is appropriate for all levels of readers, whether they are new to gamification or have been active in gamification-related studies for a long time. Furthermore, several chapters discuss gamification-related review studies, allowing the reader to see the most recent research trends as well as research gaps that can be explored for further study. The discussion in the research articles is primarily focused on the development of a product, such as games and modules, and their implementation. At the start of each of these research articles, the author focused on current issues that prompted the development of the product. Following that, the reader will be introduced to theories and models pertinent to the product's development. Discussions on data analysis and conclusions for each chapter were detailed and in-depth, based on evidence and credible reference sources. We wish the readers a pleasant reading experience while reading this book. We hope that the book will assist readers in solidifying their understanding of gamification and putting it into practice. Furthermore, we hope that this book will serve as a catalyst for readers to explore other areas of gamification.

Historians and archaeologists are now giving them a more positive assessment, and in Peasants Making History, Christopher Dyer sets a new agenda for this kind of study. Using as his example the peasants of the west midlands of England, Dyer examines peasant society in relation to their social superiors (their lords), their neighbours, and their households, and finds them making decisions and taking options to improve their lives. In their management of farming, both cultivation of fields and keeping of livestock, they made a series of modifications and some dramatic changes, not just reacting to shifts in circumstances but also devising creative initiatives. Peasants played an active role in  English | 2022 | ISBN: 3110740753 | 254 pages | True PDF EPUB | 5.8 MB The end of the Cold War marks the geopolitical peak of America's global primacy. The centerpiece of U.S. Foreign Policy in the pre-pandemic world order was the assumption that promoting human rights and democracy will secure peace. However, the Coronavirus Pandemic challenged the U.S.-dominated globalized order. The international system in the post-pandemic age embodies a paradox of the American primacy and the Chinese struggle for global domination. Pandemics Among Nations: U.S. Foreign Policy and the New Grand Chessboard addresses the geopolitical puzzle of the post-pandemic world order and seeks to explain how COVID 19 has remastered Brzezinski's theory of the Grand Chessboard. In this book, Ivanov offers a two-level approach, emphasizing the consequences of the Pandemic and their impact on U.S. Foreign Policy. He also argues that if the United States wants to maintain its leadership in the post-pandemic world order, Washington should develop a new concept of smart power to deter the Chinese Art of War. The foremost goal of Pandemics Among Nations is to analyze how America could overcome the geopolitical effects of the Pandemic. The author examines three possible scenarios for the future role of the United States on the post-pandemic Chessboard. The analysis rests on the testing of a series of research hypotheses across a structured comparison of all elements of the remastered Grand Chessboard, not just on isolated case studies such as China's rise, Russian New Imperialism or European ambitions for a mutual defense.
