Download or read book The Universal Enemy written by Darryl Li and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 William A. Douglass Prize: A new perspective on the concept of international jihad and its connection to the 1990s Balkans crisis. No contemporary figure is more demonized than the Islamist foreign fighter who wages jihad around the world. Spreading violence, disregarding national borders, and rejecting secular norms, so-called jihadists seem opposed to universalism itself. In a radical departure from conventional wisdom on the topic, The Universal Enemy argues that transnational jihadists are engaged in their own form of universalism: These fighters struggle to realize an Islamist vision directed at all of humanity, transcending racial and cultural difference. Anthropologist and attorney Darryl Li reconceptualizes jihad as armed transnational solidarity under conditions of American empire, revisiting a pivotal moment after the Cold War when ethnic cleansing in the Balkans dominated global headlines. Muslim volunteers came from distant lands to fight in Bosnia-Herzegovina alongside their co-religionists, offering themselves as an alternative to the US-led international community. Li highlights the parallels and overlaps between transnational jihads and other universalisms such as the War on Terror, United Nations peacekeeping, and socialist Non-Alignment. Developed from more than a decade of research with former fighters in a half-dozen countries, The Universal Enemy explores the relationship between jihad and American empire to shed critical light on both. “[Li] effectively confronts the demonization of jihadists in the aftermath of 9/11, particularly in the US. . . . The author’s linguistic skills and the depth of the interviews are impressive, and the case selection is intriguing. Recommended.” —Choice “This important book offers many insights for scholars and students of political thought, anthropology, and law. Li’s breadth and acumen in navigating these different fields of study is impressive.” —Political Theory

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D.G. Compton is best known for his prescient 1974 novel, THE CONTINUOUS KATHERINE MORTENHOE, which predicted the 21st century's obsessions with media voyeurism and 'reality television'. It was filmed as DEATH WATCH in 1980 by Bertrand Tavernier. This omnibus collects three of his incisive SF novels, ASCENDANCIES, SYNTHAJOY and THE STEEL CROCODILE. ASCENDANCIES: Into a future where a depleted fuel supply had the world spiralling down into grinding poverty and constant war came ... Moondrift. Mysterious white flakes of alien matter that was the perfect fuel - clean, powerful, dependable. But the aliens - or whatever they were - who sent Moondrift seemed to demand a heavy ransom in return... SYNTHAJOY: Would you like to experience first-hand the emotions of a great artist, the sublime peace of a saint, the happiness of a child at Christmas? Try Sensitape. Or perhaps you had something more passionate in mind. Don't be shy. Ask for Sexitape. And for the true connoisseur, we have the ultimate human experience: a distinguished blend of synthetic ecstasies. The world is not ready for it, but perhaps you are. We call it Synthajoy. THE STEEL CROCODILE: In answer to an unanswerable future, science has created Bohn, the omnipotent computer whose flashing circuits and messianic pronouncements dictate what tomorrow will - or will not - be. But Matthew Oliver is flesh and blood and full of questions - not nearly as certain as the machine he's appointed to serve. And the right hand of science seldom knows what the left hand is doing...

Book excerpt: This collection is the first 3 books in the Glory series. These books are: Genesis Genesis and her sisters are the last of her maternal line, the last of the stargazers – except she is a dropout in the energy worker talent department. Gentle, non-assuming Genesis Chandler is supposed to be protecting the woods, as is her nature – she’s an energy worker – but since Granny’s death and her sisters leaving town, she’s lost sight of much in her life. While she was living with blinders on, someone else took advantage. Connor has been called in to investigate the sacred forest. Something odd is happening to the reserve, and it’s affecting the town’s energy source. That also means it’s connected to the sacred pools. He’s got energy problems himself and needs Genesis to get to the bottom of this problem. Genesis has no love for Connor. His fault. He loved her and left her, not realizing he’d left the best part of himself behind – his heart. Can they work together to find out who is destroying their energy reserve – a resource that’s key to the life of all who live on Glory? Their survival depends on it. Tori Hurt and betrayed, Tori has gone into hiding. Anything to give her time to heal from losing the love of her life. Devon came looking for her… for all the wrong reasons. He needs her help to save a large band of locals caught behind a weird energy pattern. As an energy worker, she can’t turn her back on those in need. She will help him but only if he disappears from her life forever. He agrees but has no intention of honoring his promise. She’s finally let him back into her life – he has no intention of screwing up a second time. Tori isn’t big on forgiveness but she is big on Devon. Only the weird energy pattern was a problem – a big problem –and the start of something sinister. Before she can work out what’s going on, the stakes go up, and she realizes there might not be a future for either of them. Celeste This is Matt and Celeste’s story. Being last sucked. And so did going home less than triumphant. Celeste is injured only this time it’s her leg and not her pride. There’s no room for the latter when she’s being stalked. And now someone is out to destroy her and her sisters… Matt has been waiting for Celeste to return – to him. She was a strong energy worker and trying to track her down would be futile. And pointless. She’d be found only if she wanted to be. Considering she’d stayed away as long as she had, he worried that maybe she wasn’t planning on coming back – ever. But Glory is heating up and life for Celeste and her sisters is coming up to crunch time. They need her back. And she’s come back – on her terms. The three sisters must unite to fight the secret enemy in their midst and to preserve their way of life. That means Celeste must make peace with herself and Matt – before it’s too late. romantic suspense; paranormal romance; mystery; fantasy romance; glory; space; Romance; Si-Fi

Download or read book Von Sternberg written by John Baxter and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belligerent and evasive, Josef von Sternberg chose to ignore his illegitimate birth in Austria, deprived New York childhood, abusive father, and lack of education. The director who strutted onto the set in a turban, riding breeches, or a silk robe embraced his new persona as a world traveller, collected modern art, drove a Rolls Royce, and earned three times as much as the president. Von Sternberg traces the choices that carried the unique director from poverty in Vienna to power in Hollywood, including his eventual ostracism in Japan. Historian John Baxter reveals an artist few people knew: the aesthete who transformed Marlene Dietrich into an international star whose ambivalent sexuality and contradictory allure on-screen reflected an off-screen romance with the director. In his classic films The Blue Angel (1930), Morocco (1930), and Blonde Venus (1932), von Sternberg showcased his trademark visual style and revolutionary representations of sexuality. Drawing on firsthand conversations with von Sternberg and his son, Von Sternberg breaks past the classic Hollywood caricature to demystify and humanize this legendary director.
