Michael Reid, "Spain: The Trials and Triumphs of a Modern European Country" English | ISBN: 0300260393 | 2023 | 336 pages | MOBI | 14 MB An incisive account of modern Spain, from the death of Franco to the Catalan referendum and beyond  Spain Since 1812, 3rd edition By Christopher Ross 2009 | 214 Pages | ISBN: 0340981741 | PDF | 2 MB Spain Since 1812, Third Edition has been revised and updated to take account of the policy and image changes introduced by Rodriguez Zapatero's Socialist government after 2004. It examines negotiations to end violence in the Basque country, Spain's changing relationship with the European Union and the United States, and the effects of the defeated Conservatives on the current political climate. Arranged chronologically, each chapter begins with-and is set in context by-an overview of major events and movements in Europe as a whole. The text places emphasis on understanding major developments and their causes, and the relationships between them. Spanish terms associated with key concepts and figures are introduced and explained throughout the text, and extracts from contemporary Spanish texts in the original and in translation enable students to see first hand the mood of the time. Chapters end with topics for discussion to encourage critical thinking.  Space-Body-Ritual: Performativity in the City By Reena Tiwari 2010 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 0739128574 | PDF | 2 MB SpaceDBodyDRitual emphasizes the need for careful design of public spaces by creating opportunities for 'performativities' in everyday spaces of the city-its streets and squares. Tiwari compels her readers to think the parameters of spatial design as cultural generator.  Space in Languages: Linguistic Systems and Cognitive Categories By Maya Hickmann (Ed.), Stéphane Robert (Ed.) 2006 | 361 Pages | ISBN: 9027229775 | PDF | 3 MB Space is presently the focus of much research and debate across disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy. One strong feature of this collection is to bring together theoretical and empirical contributions from these varied scientific traditions, with the collective aim of addressing fundamental questions at the forefront of the current literature: the nature of space in language, the linguistic relativity of space, the relation between spatial language and cognition. Linguistic analyses highlight the multidimensional and heterogeneous nature of space, while also showing the existence of a set of types, parameters, and principles organizing the considerable diversity of linguistic systems and accounting for mechanisms of diachronic change. Findings concerning spatial perception and cognition suggest the existence of two distinct systems governing linguistic and non-linguistic representations, that only partially overlap in some pathologies, but they also show the strong impact of language-specific factors on the course of language acquisition and cognitive development.  Space: The Free-Market Frontier By Edward L. Hudgins 2002 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 193086518X | PDF | 2 MB Space deals with the issues involved in opening space to private travel and more commercial ventures.  Space Expansionism and Criminology by Dawn L. Rothe, Victoria E. Collins English | February 18, 2025 | ISBN: 1032645806 | 254 pages | EPUB, PDF (True) | 14 Mb We have entered a recent zeitgeist, the era of the "new space age", driven by billionaires, technological advancements, and a few dominating state powers. While the race to space may be said to offer "new" opportunities for "humanity", we ask, is it predicated on the same logics and historical patterns of the past? This question guides our approach and critical assessment of human expansionism into space. Space Expansionism and Criminology: The Emerging Terrain of Crime, Harm, and Violence offers readers a critical analysis of space expansionism and today's race to space that has come to define our contemporary era. Taking a retrospective and prospective approach, we delve into the choices being made, the justifications being offered, and those excluded from the hegemonic discourse of the benefits of humans as extraplanetary beings. Space Expansionism and Criminology includes chapters on the historical roots of today's space race, weaponization and realpolitik, space junk and debris, space mining and resource extrapolation, the burgeoning space tourism market, the manufacturing of space nostalgia from the 1950s through today, and efforts towards, and claims-making for, space colonization to save Earth and humanity.  Soviet-British Relations since the 1970s By Alex Pravda, Peter J. S. Duncan 2008 | 276 Pages | ISBN: 0521054974 | PDF | 8 MB This collection brings together empirical and analytical studies of the nature and evolution of Soviet-British relations during the 1980s and looks forward to the 1990s. The relationship is firmly placed within the wider context of Soviet policy toward the West and NATO. The contributors examine mutual perceptions and policy perspectives; Soviet interests and objectives in dealing with Britain; and the role of economic, political, diplomatic, nongovernmental and security factors in determining policy outcomes. A concluding section evaluates the long-term significance of current and potential policy developments on both sides. Soviet-British Relations is the first volume to be produced by the Soviet foreign policy study group at Chatham House, and is published in association with The Royal Institute of International Affairs.  Soviet Music and Society under Lenin and Stalin: The Baton and Sickle (Basee Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies) By Neil Edmunds 2009 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 0415546206 | PDF | 4 MB This book investigates the place of music in Soviet society during the eras of Lenin and Stalin. It examines the different strategies adopted by composers and musicians in their attempts to carve out careers in a rapidly evolving society, discusses the role of music in Soviet society and people's lives, and shows how political ideology proved an inspiration as well as an inhibition. It explores how music and politics interacted in the lives of two of the twentieth century's greatest composers - Shostakovich and Prokofiev - and also in the lives of less well-known composers. In addition it considers the specialist composers of early Soviet musical propaganda, amateur music making, and musical life in the non-Russian republics. The book will appeal to specialists in Soviet music history, those with an interest in twentieth century music in general, and also to students of the history, culture and politics of the Soviet Union.  Sovereignty Games: Instrumentalizing State Sovereignty in Europe and Beyond (Governance, Security and Development) By Rebecca Adler-Nissen, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen 2008 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 0230607756 | PDF | 2 MB This book offers an in-depth examination of the strategic use of State sovereignty in contemporary European and international affairs and the consequences of this for authority relations in Europe and beyond. It suggests a new approach to the study of State sovereignty, proposing to understand the use of sovereignty as games where States are becoming more instrumental in their claims to sovereignty and skilled in adapting it to the challenges that they face.  Southwest Airlines (Corporations That Changed the World) By Chris Lauer 2010 | 202 Pages | ISBN: 0313378630 | PDF | 2 MB Southwest Airlines turns in-depth interviews with the company's leaders, managers, employees, and passengers into a powerful case study of this highly successful, game-changing business. Ranging from the early days of the company to the present, the book covers the history of the airline and its founders, while also detailing the unique corporate culture that attracts employees and passengers alike. Throughout its history, Southwest has championed a culture that puts employees first, creating a productive workforce by hiring for "attitude before aptitude" (because skills can be taught) and allowing employees to be themselves at work. The founders' philosophies of "servant leadership" and a "fun-LUVing" attitude continue to attract employees and influence the company's daily work today. In detailing the airline's inner workings in the words of its own people, this book shows other companies how they can emulate Southwest's powerful business model and strategies, as well as its hiring practices and corporate culture. |
