The Formation of Modern Kurdish Society in Iran - Marouf Cabi - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Formation of Modern Kurdish Society in Iran - Marouf Cabi - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Although the Kurds have attracted widespread international attention, Iranian Kurdistan has been largely overlooked. This book examines the consequences of modernity and modernisation for Iran’s Kurdish society in the 20th century. Marouf Cabi argues that while state-led modernisation integrated the Kurds in modern Iran, the homogenisation of identity and culture also resulted in their vigorous pursuit of their political and cultural rights. Focusing on the dual process of state-led modernisation and homogenisation of identity and culture, Cabi examines the consequences of modernity and modernisation for the socioeconomic, cultural, and political structures as well as for gender relations. It is the consequences of this dynamic dual process that explains the modern structures of Iran’s Kurdish society, on the one hand, and its intimate relationship with Iran as a historical, geographical, and political entity, on the other. Using Persian, Kurdish and English sources, the book explores the transformation of Kurdish society between the Second World War and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, with a special focus on the era of the 'White Revolution' during the 1960s and 1970s.

BT Fast Tank - The Red Army's Cavalry Tank 1931-45 - Bog af Steven J. (Author) Zaloga - Paperback

BT Fast Tank - The Red Army's Cavalry Tank 1931-45 - Bog af Steven J. (Author) Zaloga - Paperback

When the Red Army needed to mechanize its cavalry branch in the 1930s, the BT fast tank was its solution. Based on the American Christie high-speed tank, the Red Army began a program to adapt the design to its own needs. Early versions were mechanically unreliable and poorly armed but by the mid-1930s, the BT-5 emerged, armed with an excellent dual-purpose 45mm gun. It saw its combat debut in the Spanish Civil War in 1937 and was later used in the border battles with the Japanese Kwangtung Army in..

The British Army since 2000 - James Tanner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The British Army since 2000 - James Tanner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

At the beginning of the 21st century, the unique requirements of dual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan radically altered the appearance and capabilities of the British Army’s infantry soldiers. Gone were the tactics, uniforms and equipment of the Cold War, replaced by an elite fighting force, skilled in counterinsurgency operations and warfare in both urban and rural environments. Fully illustrated and written by an insider, this engaging book traces the major transformations in British Army doctrine, organisation, structures, units, uniforms and equipment, from the end of the Cold War in the 1990s up to the 2010s.James Tanner outlines how, despite being a small force in global terms, the British Army continues to be able to punch above its weight.

After Meisner - Scott Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

After Meisner - Scott Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

After Meisner proposes concrete and sensible answers for the questions modern actors ask. In weaving together some simple, direct, practicable exercises with years of direct teaching experience, the received wisdom of master teachers, and common-sense approaches to the problems actors face, Scott Williams constructs a complete Meisner-based approach to the actor's craft, from early days to opening nights. Most acting texts tend to fall into one category or another. They are either highly discursive, theory-laden tomes on the ideas behind acting techniques, or they feature workbook-like approaches. By employing a sidebar or dual-column approach, After Meisner places its exercises in the context of the ideas it is there to develop. Using a free-wheeling, opinionated and personal style, After Meisner empowers actors by speaking their language, and by providing them with real tools to use in their careers.

Defense of the Third Reich 1941–45 - Steven J. Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Defense of the Third Reich 1941–45 - Steven J. Zaloga - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Starting in 1940, Germany was subjected to a growing threat of Allied bomber attack. The RAF night bombing offensive built up in a slow but unrelenting crescendo through the Ruhr campaign in the summer of 1944 and culminating in the attacks on Berlin in the autumn and early winter of 1943-44. They were joined by US daylight raids which first began to have a serious impact on German industry in the autumn of 1943. This book focuses on the land-based infrastructure of Germany''s defense against the air onslaught. Besides active defense against air attack, Germany also invested heavily in passive defense such as air raid shelters. While much of this defense was conventional such as underground shelters and the dual use of subways and other structures, Germany faced some unique dilemmas in protecting cities against night fire bomb raids. As a result, German architects designed massive above-ground defense shelters which were amongst the most massive defensive structures built in World War II.

A Social Cognition Perspective of the Psychology of Religion - Luke Galen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A Social Cognition Perspective of the Psychology of Religion - Luke Galen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An exploration of how psychological mechanisms produce intuitions, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences that are misattributed as being unique outcomes of religious or spiritual influences. Written from a social psychology perspective, this book proposes that religious and spiritual content represent one possible interpretation of the output of processes that also produce and govern nonreligious content. In looking at why people believe in God, and why belief in God is often linked with a range of positive outcomes such as prosociality, morality, health, and happiness, the author uses a critical lens that challenges past theories of religion’s functions and adds new perspectives into a discipline that is often limited by an exclusive focus on evolutionary theory. This book features several cross-cutting themes—including “dual process” theory and an exploration of how various social cognition mechanisms and biases can channel or shape religious content—and provides a continuous through-line linking the underlying building blocks of thought, as studied in the cognitive sciences of religion (CSR) to specific religious and spiritual concepts using a social cognition lens.

Art Markets, Agents and Collectors - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Art Markets, Agents and Collectors - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Art Markets, Agents and Collectors brings together a wide variety of case studies, based on letters and detailed archival research, which nuance the history of the art market and the role of the collector within it. Using diaries, account books and other archival sources, the chapters in this volume show how agents set up networks and acquired works of art, often developing the taste and knowledge of the collectors for whom they were working. They are therefore seen as important actors in the market, having a specific role that separates them from auctioneers, dealers, museum curators or amateurs, while at the same time acknowledging and analysing the dual positions that many held. Each chronological period is introduced by a contextual essay, written by a leading expert in the field, which sets out the art market in the period concerned and the ways in which agents functioned. This book is an invaluable tool for those needing an accessible yet broad introduction to the intricate workings of the art market.

The Philosophy of the Yogasutra - Karen O'brien Kop - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Philosophy of the Yogasutra - Karen O'brien Kop - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Karen O''Brien-Kop''s introduction to the Yogasutra highlights its status as a significant work of philosophy. Approaching the Yogasutra as living philosophy, this book elucidates philosophical conceptions of yoga, recognises the logical structure the sutra s follow and explains the rules and principles that have sustained Patañjali’s system of thought for centuries. Moving beyond standard interpretations of Patañjali''s text and commentary as an aphoristic practice manual, O''Brien-Kop uses branches of philosophy to read the Yogasutra . Covering reality, self, ethics, language and knowledge, Patañjali’s philosophies come to the fore. The book introduces his reasoned positions on dual and non­dual metaphysics, the relationship between mind and body, the qualities of consciousness, the nature of freedom, and how to live ethically. Carefully-selected extracts from the primary text are translated for those unfamiliar with Sanskrit and commentaries run throughout. A glossary provides definitions of key concepts with useful translations. Accessible and up-to-date, this introduction broadens our understanding of Indian philosophical thought and explains why the Yogasutra deserves to be read alongside Parmenides’ ‘On Nature’ and Plato’s Phaedo as a classic of world philosophy.

The Constitution of Belgium - Patricia Popelier - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Constitution of Belgium - Patricia Popelier - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Belgian Constitution, once described as a model of consensus democracy, has now become an enigma in comparative federalism. On the one hand, it demonstrates features which suggest institutional instability as well as elements that enhance the probability of secession. On the other hand, Belgium continues to exist as a federal system, based upon linguistic bipolarity. This linguistic bipolarity dominates Belgian politics and has shaped the design of Belgium’s institutions as well as the Constitution’s fundamental organising principles: concepts of federalism, democracy, separation of powers, constitutionalism and the rule of law. In this book, the institutional structure and the principles governing the Belgian constitutional system are explained in the light of its historical, demographic and political context. Linguistic bipolarity and its historical evolution explain the establishment of the Belgian State structure as a dual federalism, with exclusive powers, instruments for consensus making and obstruction, and elements of confederal decision making. It also explains the evolution in the concept of principles of democracy and the rule of law. Besides describing the devolutionary process, the book also incorporates two other elements that have shaped the Belgian constitutional landscape: fundamental rights and Europeanisation.

Vladimir Nabokov as an Author-Translator - Dr Julie Loison Charles - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Vladimir Nabokov as an Author-Translator - Dr Julie Loison Charles - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Exploring the deeply translational and transnational nature of the writings of Vladimir Nabokov, this book argues that all his work is unified by the permanent presence of three cultures and languages: Russian, English and French. In particular, Julie Loison-Charles focusses on Nabokov’s dual nature as both an author and a translator, and the ways in which translation permeates his fictional writing from his very first Russian works to his last novels in English.Although self-translation has received a lot of attention in Nabokov criticism, this book considers his work as an author-translator, drawing particular attention to his often underappreciated and underestimated, but no less crucial, third language; French. Looking at Nabokov’s encounters with pseudotranslation, Julie Loison-Charles demonstrates the influence this had on his practice as both a translator and a writer, arguing that this experience was crucial to his ability to create bridges between the literary traditions of Europe, Russia and America. The book also triangulates his practice and theory of translation for Onegin with those of Chateaubriand and Venuti to illuminate Nabokov’s transnational vision of literature and his ethics of translation before presenting a robust case for reconsidering his collaborative translations in French as mediated self-translations.

The Wandering Vine - Nina Caplan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS DEBUT DRINK BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 WINNER OF THE LOUIS ROEDERER INTERNATIONAL WINE BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018 ‘Wine is alive, ageing and changing, but it’s also a triumph over death. These grapes should rot. Instead they ferment. What better magic potion could there be, to convey us to the past?’Impelled by a dual thirst, for wine and for knowledge, Nina Caplan follows the vine into the past, wandering from Champagne’s ancient chalk to the mountains of Campania, via the crumbling Roman ruins that flank the river Rhône and the remote slopes of Priorat in Catalonia. She meets people whose character, stubbornness and sometimes, borderline craziness makes their wine great: an intrepid Englishman planting on rabbit-infested Downs, a glamorous eagle-chasing Spaniard and an Italian lawyer obsessed with reviving Falernian, legendary wine of the Romans. In the course of her travels, she drinks a lot and learns a lot: about dead conquerors and living wines, forgotten zealots and – in vino veritas , as Pliny said – about herself. In this lyrical and charming book, Nina Caplan drinks in order to remember and travels in order to understand the meaning of home. This is narrative travel writing at its best.

H Blocks - Louise Purbrick - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion 2023 A place of incarceration and liberation, political debate and historical denial, the H Block cell units of Long Kesh/Maze prison in Northern Ireland housed members of both Republican and Loyalist military groups during ‘The Troubles’ and are now considered ‘icons’ of that conflict. The H Block’s dual status as an articulation of and resistance against power mean that the area is still one of the most contested sites of conflict in Europe.Based on a long-standing site-specific investigation , and drawing on a range of sources from architectural plans to photographs of street protests, H Blocks explores the material relationship between the prison as a built articulation of power and its inhabitants, highlighting the ethical and political roles that architecture can play in situations of conflict. It also addresses the afterlife of such sites after the end of conflict and how they can adapt to the changing cultural meanings of their space.The book demonstrates how the conflicted histories of the prison are configured in its design and destruction, and the inhabitation and attempted preservation of the site itself, revealing how its architecture is bound up with questions of power and resistance, embodiment and attachment, witnessing and remembering, the materiality of history and its commodification.

Curating Transcultural Spaces - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Curating Transcultural Spaces - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Curating Transcultural Spaces asks what a museum which enables the presentation of multiple perspectives might look like. Can identity be global and local at the same time? How may one curate dual identity? More broadly, what is the link between the arts and processes of identity construction? This volume, an indispensable source for the process of engaging with colonial history in Germany and beyond, takes its starting point from the ''scandal'' of the Humboldt Forum. The transfer of German state collections from the Ethnological Museum and the Museum for Asian Art, located at the margins of Berlin in Dahlem, into the centre of Germany''s capital indicates the nation’s aspiration of purported multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism; yet the project’s resurrection of the site’s former Prussian city palace, which was demolished during the GDR, stands in opposition to its very mission, given that the Prussian rulers benefited from colonial exploitation. By examining the contrasting successes of other projects, such as the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, Curating Transcultural Spaces compellingly argues for the necessity of taking post-colonial thinking on board in the construction of museum spaces in order to generate genuine exchange between multiple perspectives.

Virgil’s Map - Dr Charlie Kerrigan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Virgil’s Map - Dr Charlie Kerrigan - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Virgil’s Georgics depicts the world and its peoples in great detail, but this geographical interest has received little detailed scholarly attention. Hundreds of years later, readers in the British empire used the poem to reflect upon their travels in acts of imagination no less political than Virgil’s own. Virgil’s Map combines a comprehensive survey of the literary, economic, and political geography of the Georgics with a case study of its British imperial reception c . 1840–1930. Part One charts the poem’s geographical interests in relation to Roman power in and beyond the Mediterranean; shifting readers’ attention away from Rome, it explores how the Georgics can draw attention to alternative, non-Roman histories. Part Two examines how British travellers quoted directly from the poem to describe peoples and places across the world, at times equating the colonial subjects of European empires to the ‘happy farmers’ of Virgil’s poem, perceived to be unaware, and in need, of the blessings of colonial rule. Drawing attention to the depoliticization of the poem in scholarly discourse, and using newly discovered archival material, this interdisciplinary work seeks to re-politicize both the poem and its history in service of a decolonizing pedagogy. Its unique dual focus allows for an extended exploration, not just of geography and empire, but of Europe’s long relationship with the wider world.
