Steven Simon, "The Sixth Crisis: Iran, Israel, America, and the Rumors of War "
English | ISBN: 0199754497 | 2010 | 224 pages | PDF | 1326 KB
There have been five central crises in America's post World War II encounter with the Middle East, and the Obama administration now faces a sixth. Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapons capability, and the prospect of Israel launching air strikes to stop it, are ingredients for a conflict that could ruin any residual hopes for fostering peace in the region.

The Shape of the Roman Order The Republic and Its Spaces

The Shape of the Roman Order The Republic and Its Spaces
The Shape of the Roman Order: The Republic and Its Spaces (Studies in the History of Greece and Rome) by Daniel J. Gargola
English | March 6, 2017 | ISBN: 1469631822, 146966870X | True EPUB | 304 pages | 3.2 MB
In recent years, a long-established view of the Roman Empire during its great age of expansion has been called into question by scholars who contend that this model has made Rome appear too much like a modern state. This is especially true in terms of understanding how the Roman government ordered the city-and the world around it-geographically. In this innovative, systematic approach, Daniel J. Gargola demonstrates how important the concept of space was to the governance of Rome. He explains how Roman rulers, without the means for making detailed maps, conceptualized the territories under Rome's power as a set of concentric zones surrounding the city. In exploring these geographic zones and analyzing how their magistrates performed their duties, Gargola examines the idiosyncratic way the elite made sense of the world around them and how it fundamentally informed the way they ruled over their dominion.

The Self-immolation of Oskar Brüsewitz Compared to Other Suicides Committed as a Political Protest

The Self-immolation of Oskar Brüsewitz Compared to Other Suicides Committed as a Political Protest
The Self-immolation of Oskar Brüsewitz Compared to Other Suicides Committed as a Political Protest By Malgorzata Czabanska-Rosada, Adam Czabanski
2018 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 363167421X | PDF | 11 MB
This book studies the phenomenon of altruistic suicide which was a form of political protest. The authors investigate the self-immolation of German pastor Oskar Brüsewitz and compare it with other politically motivated suicides. They portray both life and pastoral activity of Brüsewitz and analyse the motives of his suicide. Furthermore, they evaluate the judgement of this tragic event by confreres in faith and other witnesses. Besides the thorough analysis of Oskar Brüsewitz's case, the book inspects the genesis of self-immolation and locates it in the tradition of Buddhism and Hinduism. It depicts cases of self-immolations in Vietnam, the USA, India, Tibet, China, Iran, and particularly in Middle-Eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Poland and Lithuania). The analysis also covers cases of self-immolations that occurred during the Arab Spring (2011-2012) and in Bulgaria in 2013.

The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Public Health
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781315675411 | 445 pages | True PDF | 7.86 MB
In comparison to medicine, the professional field of public health is far less familiar. What is public health, and perhaps as importantly, what should public health be or become? How do causal concepts shape the public health agenda? How do study designs either promote or demote the environmental causal factors or health inequalities? How is risk understood, expressed, and communicated? Who is public health research centered on? How can we develop technologies so the benefits are more fairly distributed? Do people have a right to public health? How should we integrate ethics into public health practice?
