 Karl Kahler, "Frommer's Costa Rica 2017" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1628873108 | EPUB | pages: 640 | 167.7 mb For a relatively small country, Costa Rica has an unusually diverse range of eco-systems to explore and adventurous activities to try. You'll visit rugged wilderness preserves and sleepy beach towns, spectacular orchid gardens and mineral hot springs at the foot of a recently-active volcano. There are adventures here for all ages and abilities: swooping from treetop platform to treetop platform on a canopy tour, taking a dip in a jungle swimming hole, spotting playful spider monkeys as you hike through lush foliage, windsurfing on Lake Arenal, or watching endangered sea turtles nest on the beach.  From movements to parties in Latin America: the evolution of ethnic politics By Donna Lee Van Cott 2005 | 302 Pages | ISBN: 0521855020 | PDF | 9 MB Based on extensive original research and detailed historical case studies, this book links historical institutional analysis and social movement theory to a study of political systems in which new ethnic cleavages have emerged. It studies the surprising transformation of indigenous peoples' movements into viable political parties in the 1990s in four Latin American countries (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela) and their failure to succeed in two others (Argentina, Peru). The study concludes with the democratic implications of the emergence of this phenomenon in the context of declining public support for parties.
 Joseph Verheyden, "From Protology to Eschatology: Competing Views on the Origin and the End of the Cosmos in Platonism and Christian Though" English | ISBN: 3161610091 | 2022 | 262 pages | PDF | 3 MB This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference held in Leuven in June 2017 as a follow-up to a previous meeting that dealt with views on the origin of the cosmos in Greek philosophical and early Christian tradition (published in STAC 104, 2017). The second conference focused on how both traditions have reflected on the end or the goal towards which the cosmos is moving. The Judeo-Christian concept of a creation with temporal development and the philosophical notion of the eternity of the world evidently represent two very different positions. Yet there are also clear signs of convergence and of the latter influencing the former. The essays show there is common interest in reflecting not only on the principles that govern cosmology and on how the cosmos is reverting on its principles, but also on the answers provided in each tradition.  Jeffrey Haynes Professor of Politics London Metropolitan University, "From Huntington to Trump: Thirty Years of the Clash of Civilizations" English | 2019 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 1498578195, 1498578217 | PDF | 1,5 mb From Huntington to Trump argues that the "clash of civilizations," an idea first raised three decades ago by Bernard Lewis and endorsed by Samuel Huntington, has created a template for understanding the world which has been adopted by both the United Nations and right-wing populist politicians in Europe and the United States of America. Haynes traces the development of the "clash of civilizations" from the colonial period through the end of the Cold War and 9/11 and analyzes its effects on society.

Finding Your Family Tree by Morgan, Sharon Leslie; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1577153421 | 202 pages | True EPUB | 8.58 MB  Bernard Wilkin, "Fighting for Napoleon: French Soldiers' Letters 1799-1815" English | ISBN: 1473833736 | 2016 | 192 pages | EPUB | 8 MB The French side of the Napoleonic Wars is often seen from a strategic point of view, or in terms of military organization and battlefield tactics, or through officers' memoirs. It is rarely seen from the perspective of the lowest ranks of the army, and the experience of the ordinary soldiers is less well known and is often misunderstood. That is why this account, based on more than 1,600 letters written by French soldiers of the Napoleonic armies, is of such value. It adds to the existing literature by exploring every aspect of the life of a French soldier during the period 1799-1815. |
