Free Download Adam Fagan, "Europe's Balkan Dilemma: Paths to Civil Society or State-Building? "
English | ISBN: 1845114604 | 2009 | 224 pages | PDF | 1053 KB
Through the intervention of the European Union, the lives of people living in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo have been transformed beyond recognition. From the perspective of the Western Balkans today, the EU looks and acts like a development agency with a spectacularly broad brief and very deep pockets. Yet until the end of the 20th century, external relations and foreign policy were minor aspects of EU activity. How and why has the role of the EU changed so dramatically and what does this reveal about the future development of the Balkan states? "Europe's Balkan Dilemma" offers the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of EU assistance and intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and newly independent Kosovo. In this important new book Adam Fagan places the fundamental question of what has been achieved through the EU's increased involvement in the region in the context of the EU's ambitions in global security and conflict management beyond the Balkan states.

Free Download Jelena Obradovic, "Ethnic Conflict and War Crimes in the Balkans: The Narratives of Denial in Post-Conflict Serbia "
English | ISBN: 1848850034 | 2013 | 272 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In the years following the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, Serbian social, cultural and political responses to the wars of the 1990s have fallen under intense scrutiny. In Ethnic Conflict and War Crimes in the Balkans, Jelena Obradovic-Wochnik explores some of those responses - taking into consideration notions such as silence, denial and conspiracy theory, the book sheds some light on the complicated narratives about the 1990s. The book considers the experience of knowing, witnessing and speaking about atrocities, and thus contributes to the debates on confronting the past in Serbia. Specifically, it considers how individuals of the "ordinary" public in Serbia reflect upon, understand and keep secrets about the 1991-1999 conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, and the atrocities, human rights abuses and war crimes which were committed there. Close attention is paid to the stories of individuals whose voices and experiences are generally excluded from the broader debate about the past. Jelena Obradovic-Wochnik explores how these narratives diverge from, resist and are invisible to the formal and civil society initiatives aimed at confronting the past in Serbia.In doing so, the book also explores silence about and denial of the violent past, and considers how and where these dynamics manifest and what they might mean.

Free Download Marguerite La Caze Associate Professor of Philosophy University of Queensland., "Ethical Restoration after Communal Violence: The Grieving and the Unrepentant"
English | ISBN: 1498526691 | 2018 | 222 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Contemporary political ethics has to face the question of how to repair relations which have broken down after crimes, oppression, and political violence. The book employs the work of European and feminist philosophers, including Jacques Derrida, Albert Camus, Simone Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre, Giorgio Agamben, Immanuel Kant, Jean Améry, Vladimir Jankélévitch, Margaret Urban Walker and Linda Radzik to engage with historical and recent cases: the post-liberation French purge, post-genocide Rwanda and post-colonial Australia and draws out the negative and positive conditions of ethical political responses in these contexts. It develops a philosophical account of ethical restoration through focusing on just punishment, guilt and shame, rebuilding political trust, forgiveness and reconciliation, remorse and atonement, and self-forgiveness.

Free Download Randhawa. V.S., "Essentials of Microbiology an Integrated Clinical Based Approach Including Parasitology"
English | ISBN: 9354663516 | 2022 | 888 pages | PDF | 64 MB
This book has been written and designed in accordance with the latest CBME Guidelines. In a first level medical microbiology programme, a strict clinical system-wise study of the microbes would not only hinder the understanding and concept building of microbiology in the medical students but may imprint erroneous perceptions, as most microbes know no anatomical borders. Competency Based Undergraduate Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate advocates a horizontal and vertical integration of microbiology with other subjects on the basis of clinical systems. On this ground, microbiology has been a victim in the new CBME Guidelines. How does one approach this dilemma? The book has introduced more than 100 integrated clinical cases (including 23 on parasitic diseases); referenced clinical system-wise in exclusive infectious diseases section and dealt in the relevant microbiology category. So the book imbibes the spirit and word of the competency-based curriculum and yet retains the traditional approach of microbe learning for greater understanding. It has bidirectional linkages, which permit navigation from clinical cases to core microbiology and otherwise. The book has been designed primarily for induction of the subject to the medical undergraduates and not as a postgraduate entrance book, yet would be helpful in the latter respect.

Free Download Apple Zefelius Igrek, "Entropic Affirmation: On the Origins of Conflict in Change, Death, and Otherness"
English | ISBN: 1498567991 | 2018 | 166 pages | PDF | 1126 KB
How do we conceptualize death when its very nature implies absence and nothingness? It is difficult to put into words precisely because we want our words to help us delineate the world around us, whereas the absence associated with death is the opposite of such delineation. For this reason, death might be said to represent a form of infinite otherness, something radically different from our usual, finite, anthropomorphic way of thinking about the world. With this in mind, Apple Igrek observes an unusual paradox. Some philosophers argue that we should be more open to that which is infinitely other (as with change or death) in the context of ethics, culture, and politics, while others critique this position since we cannot logically say what is more or less open to the immeasurable. It would therefore seem impossible to defend the relevance of what is infinite to ethics while nevertheless acknowledging the validity of the above-stated critique. If we want, in other words, to say that infinite otherness remains relevant to our social and ethical values, we will have a difficult time doing so unless we create a new methodological approach determining how it is possible for pure absence and alterity to play a role in the creation of those values. In this book Apple Igrek takes up the challenge of articulating this new approach explaining how something transcending our finite comprehension (as with death or never-ending change) is nonetheless essential for describing the construction of social values, especially in terms of describing their conflictual and agonistic tendencies.

Free Download Paul A. Elliott, "Enlightenment, Modernity and Science: Geographies of Scientific Culture and Improvement in Georgian England "
English | ISBN: 1848853661 | 2010 | 352 pages | PDF | 28 MB
Scientific culture was one of the defining characteristics of the English Enlightenment. The latest discoveries were debated in homes, institutions and towns around the country. But how did the dissemination of scientific knowledge vary with geographical location? What were the differing influences in town and country and from region to region? Enlightenment, Modernity and Science provides the first full length study of the geographies of Georgian scientific culture in England. The author takes the reader on a tour of the principal arenas in which scientific ideas were disseminated, including home, town and countryside, to show how cultures of science and knowledge varied across the Georgian landscape. Taking in key figures such as Erasmus Darwin, Abraham Bennett, and Joseph Priestley along the way, it is a work that sheds important light on the complex geographies of Georgian English scientific culture.
