Dan O'Neill, Adam Wainwright, "The St. Louis Cardinals Fans' Bucket List" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1629371971 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 22.1 mb Every St. Louis Cardinals fan has a bucket list of activities to take part in at some point in their lives.

From visiting Ballpark Village to learning how to do an Ozzie Smith backflip, author Dan O'Neill provides ideas, recommendations, and insider tips for must-see places and can't-miss activities near Busch Stadium.

Whether you're attending every home game or supporting the Cards from afar, there's something for every fan to do in The St. Louis Cardinals Fans' Bucket List.  Robert Barylski, "The Soldier in Russian Politics: Duty, Dictatorship, and Democracy Under Gorbachev and Yeltsin" English | ISBN: 1138516953 | 2018 | 510 pages | EPUB | 1140 KB If Russia is to become a viable democracy, it will need a viable state to make and enforce decisions that nurture societal cohesion and sustain complex economic activity.

Sally Engle Merry, "The Seductions of Quantification: Measuring Human Rights, Gender Violence, and Sex Trafficking" English | 2016 | pages: 260 | ISBN: 022626128X, 022626114X | PDF | 1,8 mb We live in a world where seemingly everything can be measured. We rely on indicators to translate social phenomena into simple, quantified terms, which in turn can be used to guide individuals, organizations, and governments in establishing policy. Yet counting things requires finding a way to make them comparable. And in the process of translating the confusion of social life into neat categories, we inevitably strip it of context and meaning-and risk hiding or distorting as much as we reveal.  The Routledge Companion to Ecological Design Thinking: Healthful Ecotopian Visions for Architecture and Urbanism English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032023899 | 677 Pages | PDF (True) | 160 MB  Thomas Kwasi Tieku, "The Politics of Peacebuilding in Africa " English | ISBN: 1032034920 | 2021 | 254 pages | EPUB | 1132 KB This interdisciplinary book brings together innovative chapters that address the entire spectrum of the African peacebuilding landscape and showcases findings from original studies on peacebuilding.  Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine, "The Persistence of Slavery: An Economic History of Child Trafficking in Nigeria " English | ISBN: 1625345240 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB Despite efforts to abolish slavery throughout Africa in the nineteenth century, the coercive labor systems that constitute "modern slavery" have continued to the present day. To understand why, Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine explores child trafficking, pawning, and marriages in Nigeria's Bight of Biafra, and the ways in which British colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik, and Ijaw populations mobilized children's labor during the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources that include oral interviews, British and Nigerian archival materials, newspaper holdings, and missionary and anthropological accounts, Chapdelaine argues that slavery's endurance can only be understood when we fully examine "the social economy of a child"―the broader commercial, domestic, and reproductive contexts in which children are economic vehicles.

Chrysostom Koutloumousianos, "The One and the Three: Nature, Person and Triadic Monarchy in the Greek and Irish Patristic Tradition" English | 2015 | pages: 250 | ISBN: 022717514X | PDF | 1,1 mb The One and the Three explores parallels between Byzantine and early Irish monastic traditions, finding in both a markedly trinitarian theology founded on God's contemplation and ascetic experience. Chrysostom Koutloumousianos refutes modern theological theses that affect ecclesiology, and contrasts current schools of theological thought with patristic theology and anthropology, in order to approach the meaning and reality of unity and otherness within the Triadic Monad and the cosmos. He explores such topics as the connection between nature and person, the esoteric dimension of the Self, the relation and dialectic of impersonal institutions and personal charisma, and perennial monastic virtues as ways to unity in diversity. |
