 Andrew W. Neal, "Security as Politics: Beyond the State of Exception" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1474450938, 147445092X | PDF | pages: 336 | 4.5 mb Andrew W. Neal argues that while 'security' was once an anti-political 'exception' in liberal democracies - a black box of secret intelligence and military decision-making at the dark heart of the state - it has now become normalised in professional political life. This represents a direct challenge to critical security studies debates and their core assumption that security is a kind of illiberal and undemocratic 'anti-politics'. Using archival research and interviews with politicians, Neal investigates security politics from the 1980s to the present day to show how its meaning and practice have changed over time. In doing so, he develops an original reassessment of the security/politics relationship.

Scrubbing the Sky by McKendrick, Paul; English | 2023 | ISBN: 177327208X | 214 pages | True EPUB | 7.34 MB  Stephen H Jones, Rebecca Catto, Tom Kaden, "Science, Belief and Society: International Perspectives on Religion, Non-Religion and the Public Understanding of Science" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1529206944 | PDF | pages: 346 | 7.2 mb The relationship between science and belief has been a prominent subject of public debate for many years, one that has relevance to everything from science communication, health and education to immigration and national values. Yet, sociological analysis of these subjects remains surprisingly scarce. This wide-ranging book critically reviews the ways in which religious and non-religious belief systems interact with scientific theories and practices. Contributors explore how, for some secularists, 'science' forms an important part of social identity. Others examine how many contemporary religious movements justify their beliefs by making a claim upon science. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the United States, the book shows how debates about science and belief are firmly embedded in political conflict, class, community and culture.

Crawford, "San Diego Yesterday" English | 2013 | ISBN: 160949976X, 1540208273 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 4.7 mb San Diego today is a vibrant and bustling coastal city, but it wasn't always so.
