Download or read book Problems of Hope written by Patrick Bresnihan and published by ARN Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However hopeless we often feel, we are creatures of hope. This collection of short accessible essays explores the ways in which hope is bound up with power in worlds that are composed through imagination, transformation and feeling. Hope is the most precious ingredient of power. The essays do not assume hope to be inherently good or emancipatory. Rather they reflect on how hope can both support and obstruct us in our efforts to make lives more livable, or futures more just. The essays draw on social research, philosophy, literature, music and film to show how hope might re-enchant writing and politics for a post-hopeful age. This is a book for those who want to remain hopeful but find it hard to see how.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaira is in the kind of trouble it would take Jess and the Wanderer to fix, but they’ve been gone for a thousand years. What she gets is Tarkus and the Glimmer, a rundown ship and a taciturn captain who doesn’t even know she’s stowed away. Yet. If she’s lucky Tarkus will throw her off at the next station if he finds her. If she’s unlucky she’ll be ejected into in cold space without a suit. If there were any other options she’d take them. There aren’t. All she can do is huddle in the darkened hold and hope the Glimmer gets her where she needs to go before her world caves in... and before Tarkus realises she’s there. Will she reach her goal? Will she even survive? Read Wanderer - Millennium now to find out!
Download or read book The Balkans in the New Millennium written by Tom Gallagher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-04-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Balkans ever become a peaceful peninsula like that of Scandinavia? With enlightened backing, can it ever make common cause with the rest of Europe rather than being an arena of periodic conflicts, political misrule, and economic misery? In the last years of the twentieth century, Western states watched with alarm as a wave of conflicts swept over much of the Balkans. Ethno-nationalist disputes, often stoked by unprincipled leaders, plunged Yugoslavia into bloody warfare. Romania, Bulgaria and Albania struggled to find stability as they reeled from the collapse of the communist social system and even Greece became embroiled in the Yugoslav tragedy. This new book examines the politics and international relations of the Balkans during a decade of mounting external involvement in its affairs. Tom Gallagher asks what evidence there is that key lessons have been learned and applied as trans-Atlantic engagement with Balkan problems enters its second decade. This book identifies new problems: organized crime, demographic crises of different kinds, and the collapse of a strong employment base. This is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the area.

Download or read book Water Planet written by Camille Gaskin-Reyes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through case studies, opposing viewpoints, and primary documents, this reference work examines the environmental and sustainability issues regarding water as well as how water is an intrinsic part of human culture. Every culture and ecosystem on earth depends on water. As the world's climate changes, human culture is increasingly threatened by the seemingly opposite problems of having too little clean, potable water and "having too much water"—e.g., flooding, melting polar ice caps, and rising sea levels. What are the solutions that humanity must collectively pursue to protect our ability to flourish on planet earth? Water Planet: The Culture, Politics, Economics, and Sustainability of Water on Earth offers an unprecedented examination of the critical subject of water sustainability. Its essays, viewpoints, case studies, and documents show how this vital resource that many in first-world countries take for granted is intricately woven into not only basic human survival but also cultural, political, and economic stability. Readers will learn about topics such as flooding and drought; the growing problem of water pollution; the connections between water and gender, including gender equity and gender aspects of water ownership; the effects of global temperature changes on the water supply; concerns regarding fishing and overfishing; water security; and sustainable water management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The scenario in rural India is getting complex day by day. Rural development projects appear to be highly ineffective in eliminating poverty and unemployment. As a consequence, human rights violations are becoming everyday phenomena in the countryside. With the encouragement of privatization of resources, the multinational companies are entering into the rural hinterlands to exploit these resources. The problem will become more serious and worrying in the years to come. This comprehensive volume examines the emerging seriousness in respect of rural development activities and assures the values of human rights to the masses of rural India. It also tries to locate the common agreement among the contributors visualizing the ground realities on rural development and human rights violations through micro-macro analysis.It is hoped that this volume will generate an intellectual debate on this vital issue of social concern among thinkers and policy makers."

Download or read book As We Have Always Done written by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner: Native American and Indigenous Studies Association's Best Subsequent Book 2017 Honorable Mention: Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award 2017 Across North America, Indigenous acts of resistance have in recent years opposed the removal of federal protections for forests and waterways in Indigenous lands, halted the expansion of tar sands extraction and the pipeline construction at Standing Rock, and demanded justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women. In As We Have Always Done, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson locates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused around the refusal of the dispossession of both Indigenous bodies and land. Simpson makes clear that its goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation.
