The Ethics of Kinship Ethnographic Inquiries (Volume 1)

The Ethics of Kinship Ethnographic Inquiries (Volume 1)
James Faubion, Carolyn Babula, Jamila Bargach, "The Ethics of Kinship: Ethnographic Inquiries (Volume 1)"
English | 2001 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 0742509567 | EPUB | 0,8 mb
What need is there for kinship? What good is it anyway? The questions are as old as anthropology itself, but few answers have been enduringly persuasive. Kinship systems can contribute to our enslavement, but more often they permit, channel, and facilitate our relations with others and our further fashioning of ourselves―as kin but also as subjects of other kinds. When they do, they are among the matrices of our lives as ethical beings.

The Endgame The Inside Story of the Struggle for Iraq, from George W. Bush to Barack Obama
Michael R. Gordon, Bernard E. Trainor, "The Endgame: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Iraq, from George W. Bush to Barack Obama"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0307388948, 0307377229 | 832 pages | EPUB | 76.8 MB
Eagerly anticipated in the wake of their national best seller Cobra II ("The superb, must-read military history of the invasion of Iraq"-Thomas L. Friedman), The Endgame is Michael R. Gordon and General Bernard E. Trainor's most ambitious and news-breaking book to date. A peerless work of investigative journalism and historical recreation ranging from 2003 to 2012, it gives us the first comprehensive, inside account of arguably the most widely reported yet least understood war in American history-from the occupation of Iraq to the withdrawal of American troops.

The End of Airports

The End of Airports
Christopher Schaberg, "The End of Airports"
English | ISBN: 1501305492 | 2015 | 232 pages | PDF | 2 MB
If air travel was once the bold future, it has now settled into a mundane, on-going present. We no longer expect romantic experiences or sublime views, but just hope that we get from here to there with minimal hassle. In The End of Airports, Christopher Schaberg suggests that even as the epoch of flight approaches a threshold of banality, there are still mysteries to be unraveled around our aircraft and airfields. Drawing from his own experiences working at an airport, as well as interpreting these spaces from the perspective of a cultural critic, Schaberg explores the secret lives of jet bridges, seating areas, concourses, and tarmac vehicles, showing how the ordinary objects of flight call for wonder and inquiry.

The Effects of Political Institutions on Varieties of Capitalism

The Effects of Political Institutions on Varieties of Capitalism
The Effects of Political Institutions on Varieties of Capitalism by Matthew P. Arsenault
English | PDF | 2017 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3319508911 | 3.3 MB
This book identifies and explores the mechanisms linking political institutions and variation in capitalist systems. A strong correlation exists between varieties of political regimes and varieties of capitalism: majoritarian political regimes are correlated with liberal market economies (LMEs) and consensus political regimes are correlated with coordinated market economies (CMEs). Still, correlation is not causation.

The Economics of Addictive Behaviours Volume I The Private and Social Costs of Smoking and Their Remedies

The Economics of Addictive Behaviours Volume I The Private and Social Costs of Smoking and Their Remedies
The Economics of Addictive Behaviours Volume I: The Private and Social Costs of Smoking and Their Remedies by John Joshua
English | PDF | 2017 | 136 Pages | ISBN : 3319469592 | 3.2 MB
This title discusses the phenomenon of smoking as a behavioural disease and the associated costs. The author details the consequences of smoking, in addition to the detrimental effects caused by second-hand tobacco smoke exposure as a health risk to children as well as to the general public. The central contribution of Joshua's work is to address these concerns in terms of the issues of free choice and the market. Considering the various restrictive policies designed to reduce smoking's prevalence, including the banning of smoking in public places, and the inclusion of warning labels on cigarette packets, Joshua carefully analyses potential economic remedies to the problem of smoking, notably the Pigovian tax. Finally, the book concludes with a highly relevant discussion of corporate social responsibility, and the role that this might play in anti-smoking projects.
