Political Culture in Post-Communist Russia By James Alexander 2000 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0333773446 | PDF | 2 MB Taking a unique qualitative approach to studying Russian political culture, this book presents an in-depth analysis of the attitudes and activities of residents in two provincial capitals, Syktyvkar and Kirov. It shows evidence of underlying democracy in popular opinions. It also finds an authoritarian side that is being strengthened by the ongoing crisis of Russia's transition. In entering a controversial subject area, the author directs a critical eye toward the contemporary research on Russian political culture.  Political Communications in Greater China By Gary Rawnsley 2003 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 070071734X | PDF | 4 MB This book examines the role played by political communications, including media of all kinds - journalism, television, and film - in defining and shaping identity in Greater China; China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. In the context of increasing cross-border interactions of people, investment and commercial products between the component parts of greater China, the book explores the idea that identity, rather than nation-states or political entities, may be the key factor in achieving further integration in Greater China. The book focuses on the ways in which identity is communicated, and shows how communication of identity within and between the component parts of greater China plays a central role in bringing about integration.  Political Choice in Britain By Harold D. Clarke, David Sanders, Marianne C. Stewart, Paul Whiteley 2004 | 392 Pages | ISBN: 0199266549 | PDF | 4 MB Why do people vote as they do? Why do people vote at all? This ground-breaking new work by four leading scholars tests different explanations of these questions by using the most current data sources available. The result is essential reading for anyone interested, not just in UK politics, but in how people make choices about politics, voting, and democracy.  Political Campaigning in Referendums: Framing the Referendum Issue By Holli A Semetko 2004 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0415349419 | PDF | 1 MB This book reviews the research on campaigns and elections and investigates the effects of campaigning in referendums, drawing on panel survey data, media content data, focus groups, and interviews with journalists and campaign managers. The authors argue that the media coverage not only influences public perceptions of the campaign, the referendum issue and the party leaders, but that, in a close race, it also shapes the voting and the political future of the incumbent party.The first study to investigate the dynamics and effects of a referendum campaign on politicians, media and citizens, this innovative volume will be of interest to students and researchers of political communication.  Policing on Drugs: The United States, Mexico, and the Origins of the Modern Drug War, 1969-2000 by Aileen Teague English | October 20, 2025 | ISBN: 0197761860, 9780197761892 | True EPUB | 248 pages | 2.98 MB Today, images of cartels, security agents donning face coverings, graphs depicting egregious murder rates, and military guards at US border crossings influence the world's perception of Mexico. Mexico's so-called drug war, as generally conceived by journalists and academics, was the product of recent cartel turf wars, the end of the PRI's single party rule in 2000, and enhanced US border security measures post-9/11. These explanations are compelling, but they overlook state actions beginning in the 1970s that set the foundation for drug violence over the longer term.  Brian A. Felter - Police Defensive Handgun Use and Encounter Tactics Prentice-Hall | 1988 | ISBN: 0893037982 | English | 381 pages | PDF | 70.48 MB This book consists of the most modern weapon use techniques and methodologies available today based on the four factors employed to effectively stop a threat: mental set, weapon use skills, tactics, and preparation.  Polarization in Spectral Lines (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) By E. Landi Degl'Innocenti, M. Landolfi 2004 | 913 Pages | ISBN: 1402024142 | PDF | 7 MB The scientific research based on spectropolarimetric techniques is undergoing a phase of rapid growth. Instruments of unprecedented sensitivity are nowadays available, particularly for solar observations. To fully exploit the rich diagnostic content of such observations, it is necessary to understand the physical mechanisms involved in the generation and transfer of polarized radiation in astrophysical (or laboratory) plasmas. After an introductory part based on classical physics, this book tackles the subject by a rigorous quantum-mechanical approach. The transfer equations for polarized radiation and the statistical equilibrium equations for the atomic density matrix are derived directly from the principles of Quantum Electrodynamics. The two sets of equations are then used to present a number of applications, mainly concerning the diagnostics of solar magnetic fields. This book is primarily addressed to scientists working in the field of spectropolarimetry. It may also serve as a textbook for a course at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.  Poison Woman: Figuring Female Transgression in Modern Japanese Culture By Christine L. Marran 2007 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0816647267 | PDF | 4 MB Based on the lives and crimes of no less than twenty real women, dokufu (poison women) narratives emerged as a powerful presence in Japan during the 1870s. During this tumultuous time, as the nation moved from feudalism to oligarchic government, such accounts articulated the politics and position of underclass women, sexual morality, and female suffrage. Over the next century, the figure of the oversexed female criminal, usually guilty of robbery or murder, became ubiquitous in modern Japanese culture. In Poison Woman, Christine L. Marran investigates this powerful icon, its shifting meanings, and its influence on defining women's sexuality and place in Japan. She begins by considering Meiji gesaku literature, in which female criminality was often medically defined and marginalized as abnormal. She describes the small newspapers (koshinbun) that originally reported on poison women, establishing journalistic and legal conventions for future fiction about them. She examines zange, or confessional narratives, of female and male ex-convicts from the turn of the century, then reveals how medical and psychoanalytical literature of the 1920s and 1930s offered contradictory explanations of the female criminal as an everywoman or a historical victim of social circumstances and the press. She concludes by exploring postwar pulp fiction (kasutori), film and underground theater of the 1970s, and the feminist writer Tomioka Taeko's take on the transgressive woman. Persistent stories about poison women illustrate how a few violent acts by women were transformed into myriad ideological, social, and moral tales that deployed notions of female sexual desire and womanhood. Bringing together literary criticism, the history of science, media theory, and gender and sexuality studies, Poison Woman delves into genre and gender in ways that implicate both in projects of nation-building. Christine L. Marran is associate professor of Japanese literature and cultural studies at the University of Minnesota.  Poetry: The Basics by Jeffrey Wainwright English | July 25, 2025 | ISBN: 1032455772 | 260 pages | MOBI | 2.65 Mb Now in its fourth edition, Poetry: The Basics remains an engaging exploration of the exciting and diverse world of poetry. Jeffrey Wainwright's accessible introduction demystifies poetic forms and traditions, which can at first seem bewildering.  Podcast Studies: Practice Into Theory by Lori Beckstead, Dario Llinares English | November 25, 2025 | ISBN: 1771126760 | 416 pages | PDF | 10 Mb Podcast Studies: Practice into Theory critically examines the emergent field of podcasting in academia, revealing its significant impact on scholarly communication and approaches to research and knowledge creation. |
