Climate Change and People on the Move
This book applies a justice framework to analysis of the actual and potential role of international law with respect to people on the move in the context of anthropogenic climate change. That people are affected by the impacts of climate change is...
Radical Love
Radical Love gathers five of Fanny Howe's novels: Nod, The Deep North, Famous Questions, Saving History, and Indivisible, previously out-of-print and hard to find classics whose characters wrestle with serious political and metaphysical questions ...
Night Philosophy
Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. NIGHT PHILOSOPHY is collected around the figure of the child, the figure of the child not just as a little person under the tutelage of adults, but also the submerged one, who knows, who is without power, who doesn't matter. The book proposes a minor politics that disperses all concentrations of power. Fanny Howe chronicles the weak and persistent, those who never assimilate at the cost of having another group to dominate. She explores transgression and the dynamics of the child as victim in a desensitized era, when victimization is the political zeitgeist.
Greeting the visitor
One of the most famous mosaics from Pompeii is the so-called Cave canem-mosaic, depicting a ready-to-attack watchdog that greets the visitor upon arrival to the house. Together with a couple of more similar mosaics, the watchdog-motif has to a large extent been regarded as expressing a common décor for Roman house-entrances, fauces, to atrium-house
Sociological Work
Howard S. Becker is a leading contemporary sociologist who interprets society as collective action and sociology, therefore, as the study of collective action. This volume explores the theory and methods necessary to study collective action and social interaction. Becker includes most of his work on theory and method that has not previously appeared in book form. It reflects his unique way of thinking about and studying society. The first part of the book treats methodological problems as problems of social interaction and lists a series of research problems requiring analytic attention. The second part illustrates Becker's approach through full reports on two of his major research projects. Four theoretical statements on how people change comprise the third part, and the fourth part includes important contributions to the study of deviance. These essays illustrate the need to study deviance as part of the general study of society, not as an isolated specialty. Sociological Work is an
Spectral Analysis on Standard Locally Homogeneous Spaces
A groundbreaking theory has emerged for spectral analysis of pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces, extending beyond the traditional Riemannian framework. The theory introduces innovative approaches to global analysis of locally symmetric spaces endowed with an indefinite metric. Breakthrough methods in this area are introduced through the development of the branching theory of infinite-dimensional representations of reductive groups, which is based on geometries with spherical hidden symmetries. The book elucidates the foundational principles of the new theory, incorporating previously inaccessible material in the literature. The book covers three major topics. (1) (Theory of Transferring Spectra) It presents a novel theory on transferring spectra along the natural fiber bundle structure of pseudo-Riemannian locally homogeneous spaces over Riemannian locally symmetric spaces. (2) (Spectral Theory) It explores spectral theory for pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces,
