 Lennart J. Lundqvist, "Housing Policy and Equality: A Comparative Study of Tenure Conversions and Their Effects " English | ISBN: 1032437693 | 2023 | 250 pages | PDF | 14 MB Originally published in 1986, this book compares and evaluates the effects of converting rental housing into owner occupancy in the USA, the UK and Germany. The evaluation examines the pros and cons of such conversions. The conversion controversy is more than a technical discussion of outcomes of different housing strategies. By viewing tenure conversions as strategies for limiting direct governmental involvement, this comparative evaluation indicates something about the effects not only on housing, but on general social welfare, of such strategies.  Nandita Sharma, "Home Rule: National Sovereignty and the Separation of Natives and Migrants" English | ISBN: 1478000953 | 2020 | 384 pages | EPUB | 563 KB In Home Rule Nandita Sharma traces the historical formation and political separation of Natives and Migrants from the nineteenth century to the present to theorize the portrayal of Migrants as "colonial invaders." The imperial-state category of Native, initially a mark of colonized status, has been revitalized in what Sharma terms the Postcolonial New World Order of nation-states. Under postcolonial rule, claims to autochthony-being the Native "people of a place"-are mobilized to define true national belonging. Consequently, Migrants-the quintessential "people out of place"-increasingly face exclusion, expulsion, or even extermination. This turn to autochthony has led to a hardening of nationalism(s). Criteria for political membership have shrunk, immigration controls have intensified, all while practices of expropriation and exploitation have expanded. Such politics exemplify the postcolonial politics of national sovereignty, a politics that Sharma sees as containing our dreams of decolonization.

Edmond De Goncourt, "Hokusai" English | 2018 | pages: 512 | ISBN: 1783101288 | PDF | 75,9 mb Through his elegant brush paintings and masterful woodblocks, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) became one of Japan's most internationally-renowned artists.

His style of art and subject evolved as many times as he changed his name, but Hokusai's talent as an artist remained constant and his influential role in later art movements such as Art Nouveau and Impressionism remains eternal  Ralf Georg Reuth, "Hitler's Tyranny: A History in Ten Chapters" English | ISBN: 1913368629 | 2022 | 256 pages | EPUB | 350 KB A fresh, stimulating look at Adolf Hitler and his dictatorship throughout the study of ten key aspects.

 Matthew Freeman, "Historicising Transmedia Storytelling: Early Twentieth-Century Transmedia Story Worlds " English | ISBN: 1138217697 | 2016 | 210 pages | PDF | 1181 KB Tracing the industrial emergence of transmedia storytelling―typically branded a product of the contemporary digital media landscape―this book provides a historicised intervention into understandings of how fictional stories flow across multiple media forms.
