 Christian Reus-Smit, "On Cultural Diversity: International Theory in a World of Difference" English | 2018 | ISBN: 110846274X, 1108473857 | PDF | pages: 278 | 1.3 mb The rise of non-Western Great Powers, the spread of transnational religiously-justified insurgencies, and the resurgence of ethno-nationalism raise fundamental questions about the effects of cultural diversity on international order. Yet current debate - among academics, popular commentators, and policy-makers alike - rests on flawed understandings of culture and inaccurate assumptions about how historically cultural diversity has shaped the evolution of international orders. In this path-breaking book, Christian Reus-Smit details how the major theories of international relations have consistently misunderstood the nature and effects of culture, returning time and again to a conception long abandoned in specialist fields: the idea of cultures as coherent, bounded, and constitutive. Drawing on theoretical insights from anthropology, cultural studies, and sociology, and informed by new histories of diverse historical orders, this book presents a new theoretical account of the relationship between cultural diversity and international order: an account with far-reaching implications for how we understand contemporary transformations.

Observing Law through Systems Theory By Richard Nobles; David Schiff 2012 | 290 Pages | ISBN: 1849462186 | PDF | 17 MB This book uses Niklas Luhmann's systems theory to explore how the legal system operates as one of modern society's subsystems.The authors demonstrate how this theory alters our understanding of some of the most important and controversial issues within law: the nature of judicial communication and legal argument; the claim that it can be right to disobey law; the character of legal pluralism and globalisation; time and its construction within law; the significance of the rule of law and human rights and the role of appeals to, and within, law.Systems theory enables the authors to demonstrate how the legal system observes its own operations through its own communications, and how this contrasts with the manner in which law is observed by other systems such as the media and politics.In this context the authors explore the constraints imposed by systems, in particular the legal system, upon the individuals who participate in them.  Katherine Behar, "Object-Oriented Feminism" English | 2016 | ISBN: 151790109X, 1517901081 | PDF | pages: 289 | 7.2 mb The essays in Object-Oriented Feminism explore OOF: a feminist intervention into recent philosophical discourses-like speculative realism, object-oriented ontology (OOO), and new materialism-that take objects, things, stuff, and matter as primary. Object-oriented feminism approaches all objects from the inside-out position of being an object too, with all of its accompanying political and ethical potentials.

Numbering My Days: How the Liturgical Calendar Rearranged My Life By Chene Heady 2016 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1621640310 | EPUB | 1 MB Chene Heady was a believing Catholic whose daily concerns were shaped primarily by forces other than his faith--career demands, financial decisions, scheduling conflicts, etc. He worked long hours and had limited regular interaction with his wife, also a busy professional, and his young daughter. He was the typical overextended and anonymous modern Catholic man. Then he tried an experiment that dramatically rearranged his life. After reading about the importance of the Church's liturgical year, Heady took up the challenge to live as though the Church's calendar, not the secular one, stood at the center of his life. Every day for a year, he observed the Church's seasons and feasts, and meditated on the Church's daily readings. As he did so, he found that his life, and his relationships, became more meaningful and fruitful. Numbering My Days tells the story of one man's renewal, and it offers an authentic model of spiritual development for anyone.

Kenrick Bingham, Yaroslav V. Kurylev, E. Somersalo, "New Analytic and Geometric Methods in Inverse Problems: Lectures given at the EMS Summer School and Conference held in Edinburgh, Scotland 2000" English | 2003 | ISBN: 3540406824, 3642073794 | DJVU | pages: 397 | 2.9 mb In inverse problems, the aim is to obtain, via a mathematical model,information on quantities that are not directly observable but rather depend onother observable quantities. Inverse problems are encountered in such diverse areas of application as medical imaging, remote sensing, material testing, geosciences and financing. It has become evident that new ideas coming from differential geometry and modern analysis are needed to tackle even some of the most classical inverse problems. This book contains a collection of presentations, written by leading specialists, aiming to give the reader up-to-date tools for understanding the current developments in the field. |
