Despite numerous peace talks, cease-fires, and external military and diplomatic pressure, war raged on between the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Sinhala-dominated Sri Lankan government.

Dyvik, "What's the Point of International Relations?" English | ISBN: 1138707317 | 2017 | 274 pages | EPUB | 857 KB What's the Point of International Relations casts a critical eye on what it is that we think we are doing when we study and teach international relations (IR). It brings together many of IR's leading thinkers to challenge conventional understandings of the discipline's origins, history, and composition. It sees IR as a discipline that has much to learn from others, which has not yet lived up to its ambitions or potential, and where much work remains to be done. At the same time, it finds much that is worth celebrating in the discipline's growing pluralism and views IR as a deeply political, critical, and normative pursuit.  Richard K.

Finally, it explores two issues central to Industrial Revolution costing - the relationship between technological change and cost management, and the paradigmatic approaches that have predominated in costing historiography.  What happens after death?: Death, dying and after death by Emma William English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B4641RLV | 970 pages | EPUB | 3.07 Mb "It might take a little bit of force to break this up," says mortician Holly Williams, lifting John's arm and gently bending it at the fingers, elbow and wrist.

Premilla Nadasen, "Welfare Warriors: The Welfare Rights Movement in the United States" English | 2004 | ISBN: 0415945798, 041594578X | EPUB | pages: 344 | 1.2 mb Nadasen has written the definitive history of the welfare rights movement that, for a brief moment, turned welfare into a program that helped rather than punished poor women. Carefully researched and fully documented, Welfare Warriors reveals the largely untold story of how poor and working class women came together to fight for a decent life. By exploring the working class black feminism that emerged, Nadasen's account also broadens and deepens our understanding of feminism." |
