The Oxford Guide to the Languages of the Central Andes
by Matthias Urban
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0198849923 | 1008 Pages | PDF | 70 MB

This volume presents the most comprehensive overview in English of the languages of the Central Andes, spoken primarily in Peru and Bolivia. Efforts to describe and document Central Andean languages, as well as philological research into colonial documentation and texts, have blossomed in recent decades; here, the major protagonists and drivers of these exciting developments are given the opportunity to showcase their research achievements in one volume.
Following an introductory part providing background information on the region and its cultural and linguistic diversity, chapters in Part II provide extensive descriptions of individual languages that not only reflect current knowledge, but also add to our understanding of their phonological and grammatical structures. The third part offers substantial typological comparative analyses that reflect the pivotal role Central Andean languages have played in investigations into topics of current theoretical interest, such as the notions of linguistic complexity and evidentiality. Part IV explores topics relating to the history of the language from early prehistory to the colonial period, while chapters in the final part shed light on the cultural, geographic, and sociolinguistic settings in which Central Andean languages are spoken, and discuss language contact situations and language ideologies. The Oxford Guide to the Languages of the Central Andes will be of interest not only to students and researchers specializing in Andean languages, but also to typologists, comparative linguists, and linguistic anthropologists.

The Oxford Guide to the Malayo-Polynesian Languages of Southeast Asia
by Alexander Adelaar, Antoinette Schapper
English | 2024 | ISBN: 019880735X | 1089 Pages | PDF | 121 MB

This volume presents the most wide-ranging treatment available today of the Malayo-Polynesian languages of Southeast Asia and their outliers, a group of more than 800 languages belonging to the wider Austronesian family. It brings together leading scholars and junior researchers to offer a comprehensive account of the historical relations, typological diversity, and varied sociolinguistic issues that characterize this group of languages, including current debates in their prehistories and descriptive priorities for future study.
The book is divided into four parts. Part I deals with historical linguistics, including discussion of human genetics, archaeology, and cultural history. Chapters in Part II explore language contact between Malayo-Polynesian and unrelated languages, as well as sociolinguistic issues such as multilingualism, language policy, and language endangerment. Part III provides detailed overviews of the different groupings of Malayo-Polynesian languages, while Part IV offers in-depth studies of important typological features across the whole linguistic area. The Oxford Guide to the Malayo-Polynesian Languages of Southeast Asia will be an essential reference for students and researchers specializing in Austronesian languages and for typologists and comparative linguists more broadly.

The People Are Missing: Minor Literature Today
by Gregg Lambert
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1496224310 | 144 Pages | True ePUB | 0.18 MB

"The people are missing" is a constant refrain in Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's writings after the 1975 publication of Kafka: Pour une litterature mineure. With the translation of this work into English (Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature) in 1986, the refrain quickly became a hallmark of political interpretation in the North American academy and was especially applied to the works of minorities and postcolonial writers. However, in the second cinema book, Cinéma 2: L'Image-temps, the refrain is restricted to third-world cinema, in which Deleuze and Guattari locate the conditions of truly postwar political cinema: the absence, even the impossibility, of a people who would constitute its organic community.
In this critical reflection, Gregg Lambert traces the "narrowing" of the refrain itself, as well as the premise that the act of art is capable of inventing the conditions of a "people" or a "nation," and asks whether this results only in reducing the positive conditions of art and philosophy in the postmodern period. Lambert offers an unprecedented inquiry into the evolution of Deleuze's hopes for the revolutionary goals of minor literature and the related notion of the missing people in the conjuncture of contemporary critical theory.

Ernest C. Coleman, "The Pig War: The Most Perfect War in History"
English | ISBN: 0752452274 | 2010 | 240 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
With a Description to grace any comic opera, the 1859-1872 "Pig War" broke out when an American living on a quietly disputed small island in the Gulf of Georgia (present-day San Juan Island in Washington State) shot a British pig he found rooting up his garden produce. The authorities on nearby Vancouver Island and the military leadership of adjacent Washington Territory both felt they had good reasons to escalate a trivial incident into a full-blown war between the U.S. and Great Britain. Soon, American soldiers found themselves looking down the barrels of the Royal Navy's cannons. While both the British authorities and the Americans continued to threaten and bluster, the Royal Marines and their U.S. counterparts settled down to a round of social events, including sports days, combined dinners, and even summer balls. Despite the outbreak of the American Civil War, and British intervention on the Confederate side, it was decided that the problem should become one of the earliest examples of international arbitration. The German Kaiser was brought in-and came to the wrong decision. Set against the framework of U.S. attempts to gain control of the whole North American continent, this history is a highly readable account of a little-known episode in Anglo-American history.

Katalin Miklossy, Dieter Segert, "The Politics of East European Area Studies"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138653306 | EPUB | pages: 110 | 0.2 mb
Following the end of the Cold War and European Union enlargement, in what sense does Eastern Europe continue to exist as a meaningful geo-political concept? In addressing this question, contributors to this volume―Alex Cistelecan, Robert Bideleux, Katalin Miklóssy and Dieter Segert―tease out the implications for an 'Area Studies' approach to the region. They examine its contradictory situation within discourses of 'orientalisation': on one hand, posited as the 'underdeveloped' pendant to its western neighbours; on the other, largely Christian by religion and an integral part of a continent that dominated the world. They uncover the roots of area studies in the 'colonial paradigm' by which great powers promote the creation of predictive, 'problem-solving' knowledge that is immediately apprehendable for decision makers, helping them to take advantage of a region's resources and strategic position, but which tends to homogenise the region's geography and history. For critical inquiry, they argue, the challenge is to delineate transparently the reasons underlying Eastern Europe's construction as an area of study, to identify the epistemological interests of motivated organisations such as funding agencies and political bodies, and to counter the ongoing orientalism of Western perspectives toward the East. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe.

The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids-and Come Back Stronger Than Ever by Neha Ruch
English | January 14th, 2025 | ISBN: 0593716183 | 320 pages | True EPUB | 1.14 MB
A paradigm-shifting guide to career breaks after kids that rebrands stay-at-home parenthood for a new generation of women and families.

"So, what do you do?"
When Neha Ruch had to answer this seemingly innocent question for the first time after leaving her corporate job to care for her infant son, she drew a shameful blank. She couldn't find the words to describe this new stage of life she'd just embarked on. She wasn't a 1950s June Cleaver type, nor was she one of today's updated stereotypes. (Craft Project Mom? Exhausted-in-Sweatpants Mom?) How, then, was she to navigate this identity shift?
Frustrated, Ruch embarked on a mission to rebrand the stay-at-home mother for a new generation of women who don't want to leave their ambition behind just because they decide to pause or change their careers post-kids. Her online community, Mother Untitled, has become the leading voice and resource for women navigating this transition. In The Power Pause, Ruch addresses all the questions women face at this inflection point, such as, Can I afford to pause? Who am I without my career identity? How do I find meaning in the role? And can I ever transition back to paid work?
With expert advice and diverse stories of stay-at-home mothers who buck every stereotype, as well as interactive exercises to help the reader Description a course for the long term, The Power Pause is an essential handbook for a new generation of caregivers.

Bruce Riedel, "The Prince of Counterterrorism: Washington's favorite Saudi, Muhammad bin Nayef, is the scourge of al-Qaida and Iran but no friend of those who want to see major reforms in the kingdom"
English | 2015 | ASIN: B0BQX87FQ6 | EPUB | pages: 23 | 0.1 mb
In The Prince of Counterterrorism, Brookings Senior Fellow Bruce Riedel tells the story of Saudi Arabia's Deputy Crown Prince Muhammad bin Nayef (MBN) and his contributions to the security of the kingdom and the Arab world. In the spring of 2015, King Salman removed his brother from the line of succession, and chose instead his nephew, MBN, as his heir. Riedel explains why this decision is critical for the U.S. as MBN has been America's closest Saudi ally in the fight against terrorism, even helping to thwart attacks from al-Qaida on the U.S. However, while MBN's leadership is critical in countering the growth of groups like al-Qaida and ISIS, Riedel shows why he is unlikely to support social reforms within the kingdom. THE BROOKINGS ESSAY: In the spirit of its commitment to high-quality, independent research, the Brookings Institution has commissioned works on major topics of public policy by distinguished authors, including Brookings scholars. The Brookings Essay is a multi-platform product aimed to engage readers in open dialogue and debate. The views expressed, however, are solely those of the author. Available in ebook only.

The Psychology of Meaning in Life: Insights and Applications, 2nd Edition
by Tatjana Schnell
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1032790253 | 277 Pages | True PDF | 3.58 MB

The new edition of this bestselling book, The Psychology of Meaning in Life, has been thoroughly updated to offer an inspiring exploration of cutting-edge findings from the psychology of meaning in life. Schnell draws on multiple psychological and philosophical perspectives, including those from existential, clinical, social, positive, and health psychology, and lived experience to introduce a multidimensional model of meaning in life.
Written in an accessible style and full of practical, evidence-based applications, this book covers a range of topics, including the distinction between meaning and happiness, the impact of meaning on health and longevity, the connection between worldview and meaning, meaning in the workplace, meaning-centred interventions, and existential communication. The Hierarchic Meaning Model explains how meaning emerges, from basic perception to the complex experience of meaning in life. By situating meaningfulness - experienced as significance, purpose, coherence, and belonging - within broader social contexts, the book discusses the effects of inequality and global crises and suggests introducing an ethics of meaning. Measurement tools are presented, and each chapter ends with exercises to encourage self-reflection, inspiring the reader to consider the role of meaning in their own life.
The Psychology of Meaning in Life, Second Edition has crucial significance for advancing the field of existential health. It is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners of psychology, sociology, counselling, pastoral care, coaching, healthcare, and related disciplines, and for general readers interested in exploring what makes life meaningful.

The Royal Navy in the Cold War Years, 1966-1990: Retreat and Revival by Edward Hampshire
English | August 15, 2024 | ISBN: 1399041231 | 798 pages | PDF | 31 Mb
The Royal Navy in the Cold War Years, 1966-1990: Retreat and Revival is the first book to cover this subject in depth for more than thirty years. With unique access to primary, archival sources, Edward Hampshire offers important and fascinating insights into the naval dimension of the Cold War. During the period covered by this new book the Royal Navy faced some of its greatestchallenges, both at sea confronting the increasingly capable and impressive Soviet Navy,and on shore when it faced policy crises that threatened the survival of much of the fleet.During this remarkable period, the Navy had rarely been so focused on a single theater ofwar-the Eastern Atlantic-but also rarely so politically vulnerable. The author sets out to analyze shadowing operations and confrontations at sea withSoviet ships and submarines; the Navy's role in the enormous NATO and Warsaw Pactnaval exercises that acted out potential war scenarios; individual operations from theFalklands and the 1990-91 Gulf War to the Beira and Armilla patrols; the development ofadvanced naval technologies to counter Soviet capabilities; policy-making controversiesas the three services fought for resources-including the controversial 1981 Nott defensereview; and what life was like in the Cold War navy for ratings and officers. The book, thefirst to cover this subject in depth for more than thirty years, will make use of the full rangeof archival sources that have been publicly available over the last two decades, but ofwhich little use has been made by historians. This work is destined to become a definitive naval history of the period. It also provides afascinating and gripping narrative of a navy under threat from many directions but whichsurvived and eventually prospered, winning a remarkable victory in the far South Atlanticmore than seven thousand from its expected battleground in the North Atlantic. Written for a wide audience, this book will appeal to professional and enthusiast alike.

The Science of Winning: How scientific method can help us become smarter, wealthier, happier by Danilo Lapegna, Kintsugi Project
English | December 3, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DPL6MDBL | EPUB | 3.29 Mb
What you'll find in this book:Read inspiring stories of scientific champions like Richard Feynman, Rita Levi-Montalcini, and Galileo: individuals who transformed our world through tireless dedication and their mastery of the "art of science."Discover how principles from the study of natural phenomena can be applied to our personal growth, enabling us to become genuinely smarter, wealthier, and happier.Explore the connections between mathematical distributions, dopamine, cognitive biases, and how scientific knowledge intersects with the art of strategy and tactics."Seek singularity," "Aim for inherently interconnected systems," and other secrets of "scientific hacking": the craft of analyzing complex systems and reworking their dynamics to your advantage.Understand how game theory, probability, and mathematics can empower you to make better decisions in any area of life.Learn how to construct hypothetical models, analyze interactions, and use methods to reveal the hidden truths behind lies, uncertainties, and mysteries of every kind.And finally, can science help us predict the future? Let's explore the possibilities!

A book insight, picked from us:
"Every invention, every building, every work of art we create is, for example, destined to deteriorate under the relentless weight of entropy; but science, with its indomitable determination, strives to counteract it, to slow it down, to conserve energy, to build more efficient and durable systems. But let us also consider diseases, those invisible forces that have threatened our species since the dawn of time. The plague, smallpox, tuberculosis: silent enemies that have decimated entire populations. And here comes the "strategic art" provided by science, which has allowed us to develop vaccines, therapies, and treatments; it has transformed certain deaths into preventable diseases and has granted humanity hope and life expectations never seen before. Consider also the most violent forces of nature: hurricanes, earthquakes, floods; calamities that have always had the power to even destroy entire civilizations. And even in this battle, science has always been by our side, providing us with the alphabets for the most advanced engineering, for sophisticated forecasting techniques, and for innovative intervention solutions."
