Financialization Economic and Social Impacts

Financialization Economic and Social Impacts
Financialization: Economic and Social Impacts by Malcolm Sawyer
English | August 25th, 2022 | ISBN: 1788212304, 1911116959 | 240 pages | True EPUB | 3.71 MB
Finance has long been an integral part of the capitalist economy, yet since the 1970s the realm of finance has burgeoned, reaching well beyond its traditional funding roles. Finance now reaches into all aspects of economic life from the everyday activity of the individual, to the behaviour of corporations and the decisions made for society as a whole. The power and fragility of the financial sector are seen by the simple fact that when things go wrong, it can bring down banks, currencies, and governments, plunging countries into generations of debt and hardship.

Exoplanet Atmospheres Physical Processes

Exoplanet Atmospheres Physical Processes
Sara Seager, "Exoplanet Atmospheres: Physical Processes"
English | 2010 | pages: 264 | ISBN: 0691146454, 0691119147 | EPUB | 7,7 mb
Over the past twenty years, astronomers have identified hundreds of extrasolar planets-planets orbiting stars other than the sun. Recent research in this burgeoning field has made it possible to observe and measure the atmospheres of these exoplanets. This is the first textbook to describe the basic physical processes-including radiative transfer, molecular absorption, and chemical processes-common to all planetary atmospheres, as well as the transit, eclipse, and thermal phase variation observations that are unique to exoplanets.

Exhuming Violent Histories Forensics, Memory, and Rewriting Spain's Past

Exhuming Violent Histories Forensics, Memory, and Rewriting Spain's Past
Exhuming Violent Histories: Forensics, Memory, and Rewriting Spain's Past By Nicole Iturriaga
2022 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0231201125 | PDF | 14 MB
Many years after the fall of Franco's regime, Spanish human rights activists have turned to new methods to keep the memory of state terror alive. By excavating mass graves, exhuming remains, and employing forensic analysis and DNA testing, they seek to provide direct evidence of repression and break through the silence about the dictatorship's atrocities that persisted well into Spain's transition to democracy.Nicole Iturriaga offers an ethnographic examination of how Spanish human rights activists use forensic methods to challenge dominant histories, reshape collective memory, and create new forms of transitional justice. She argues that by grounding their claims in science, activists can present themselves as credible and impartial, helping them intervene in fraught public disputes about the remembrance of the past. The perceived legitimacy and authenticity of scientific techniques allows their users to contest the state's historical claims and offer new narratives of violence in pursuit of long-delayed justice.Iturriaga draws on interviews with technicians and forensics experts and provides a detailed case study of Spain's best-known forensic human rights organization, the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory. She also considers how the tools and tactics used in Spain can be adopted by human rights and civil society groups pursuing transitional justice in other parts of the world. An ethnographically rich account, Exhuming Violent Histories sheds new light on how science and technology intersect with human rights and collective memory.
