Animal Farm

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Orwell, George / Crwell, George / Symons, Julian, PUBLISHER: Everyman's Library, (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) "Animal Farm" is the most famous by far of all twentieth-century political allegories. Its account of a group of barnyard animals who revolt against their vicious human master, only to submit to a tyranny erected by their own kind, can fairly be said to have become a universal drama. Orwell is one of the very few modern satirists comparable to Jonathan Swift in power, artistry, and moral authority; in animal farm his spare prose and the logic of his dark comedy brilliantly highlight his stark message. Taking as his starting point the betrayed promise of the Russian Revolution, Orwell lays out a vision that, in its bitter wisdom, gives us the clearest understanding we possess of the possible consequences of our social and political acts.

Talcott Parsons: Economic Sociologist of the 20th Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Parsons, Talcott / Moss, Laurence S. / Savchenko, Andrew, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Blackwell, Talcott Parsons' writings are indisputably classics of American sociology. Today, more than a quarter century after Parsons' death and a full thirty years since he dominated sociological discourse, Parsons' theories still serve as flashpoints in many debates. Parsons worked his entire life to reconcile the insights of modern economics with modern sociology and to explore how an authentic economic sociology could be developed. The ambivalent reactions by contemporary sociologists surrounding Parsons' work has motivated this book in an effort to help unify the social sciences by exploring their special competencies and taking stock of their unique insights. Beginning with a transcript of Parsons' March 10th, , seminar, the book follows with five essays that explore Parsons and the precise connection between his work and some of the ideas in the new economic sociology.

Jihad in the Arabian Sea

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pecastaing, Camille, PUBLISHER: Hoover Institution Press, The lands and coasts across the Bab el Mandeb--the tiny strait that separates the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean--at the southern tip of the Red Sea, have for centuries had a forbidding reputation as lands of piracy and privation. In "Jihad in the Arabian Sea, " Camille Pecastaing examines the twenty-first-century challenges facing this troubled and treacherous region. He looks at the past and present of the key players in the area, including Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, Djibouti, the Sudan, and Ethiopia, reviewing the terrorist activities of Al Qaeda, the state of lawlessness that has led to the rise of piracy in the western Indian Ocean, the rise of the radical Shabab group, and the spread of extremist forms of Islam in the south. Pecastaing displays a real feel for the land, seamlessly blending history and current headlines to paint a picture of a region that, for most of the past two thousand years, has never quite evolved into the era of the modern state. He shows how the current challenges of civil war, piracy, radical Islamism, and terrorism, along with a real risk of environmental and economic failure on both sides of the strait, could lead to still more social dislocation and violence in this strategically important area.

Astronomy: From the Earth to the Universe

The writing style is friendly and carefully detailed. It serves as a valuable reference for both beginners and astronomy enthusiasts. This book is organized as a number of stories. Individual chapters often tell what used to be known, how space and other modern observations have transformed our understanding, and then what is scheduled for the future.

Micromovement in Orthopaedics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Turner-Smith, A. / Smith, Alan R. / Turner-Smith, Alan R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The musculo-skeletal system undergoes constant micromovement in response to mechanical influences, which in turn effect the healing of fractures, the development of arthritis and osteoporosis, and the body's response to prosthetic implants. At one magnitude, micromovement promotes the healing of fractures, but at a higher magnitude, it inhibits healing. Micromovement of a total joint replacement can lead to bone resorption and subsequent loosening of the prosthesis. To what extent do theory, laboratory measurements of micromovement, and early in vivo measurements relate to each other and to final clinical outcome? What is the role played by physiological feedback in the control of load during the healing of the musculo-skeletal system? Clinicians and engineers together explored the medical implications of micromovement and evaluated methods for its measurement at a meeting held by the Oxford Orthopedic Engineering Centre in April . This book is based on a selection of contributions and the lively debate that followed.
