Описание: Shooting Up: A Short History of Drugs and War examines how intoxicants have been put to the service of states, empires and their armies throughout history. Since the beginning of organized combat, armed forces have prescribed drugs to their members for two general purposes: to enhance performance during combat and to counter the trauma of killing and witnessing violence after it is over. Stimulants (e.g. alcohol, cocaine, and amphetamines) have been used to temporarily create better soldiers by that improving stamina, overcoming sleeplessness, eliminating fatigue, and increasing fighting spirit. Downers (e.g. alcohol, opiates, morphine, heroin, marijuana, barbiturates) have also been useful in dealing with the soldier's greatest enemy - shattered nerves. Kamienski's focuses on drugs "prescribed" by military authorities, but also documents the widespread unauthorised consumption by soldiers themselves. Combatants have always treated with various drugs and alcohol, mainly for recreational use and as a reward to themselves for enduring the constant tension of preparing for. Although not officially approved, such "self-medication" is often been quietly tolerated by commanders in so far as it did not affect combat effectiveness. This volume spans the history of combat from the use of opium, coca, and mushrooms in pre-modern warfare to the efforts of modern militaries, during the Cold War in particular, to design psychochemical offensive weapons that can be used to incapacitate rather than to kill the enemy. Along the way, Kamienski provides fascinating coverage of on the European adoption of hashish during Napolean's invasion of Egypt, opium use during the American Civil War, amphetamines in the Third Reich, and the use of narcotics to control child soldiers in the rebel militias of contemporary Africa.

Описание: Shows how Lefebvre`s theory of space developed out of direct engagement with architecture, urbanism, and urban sociology.
This volume collects essays from an international body of leading scholars in Old Testament studies, focused upon the key concepts of the question of historicity of biblical stories, the archaeology of Israel/Palestine during the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the nature of biblical narratives and related literature.
As a celebration of the extensive body of Thomas L. Thompson's work, these essays enable a threefold perspective on biblical narratives. Beginning with 'method', the contributors discuss archaeology, cultural memory, epistemology, and sociology of knowledge, before moving to 'history, historiography and archaeology' and close analysis of the Qumran Writings, Josephus and biblical rewritings. Finally the argument turn to the narratives themselves, exploring topics including the possibility of invented myth, the genre of Judges and the depiction of Moses in the Qu'ran. Presenting an interdisciplinary analysis of the historical issues concerning ancient Israel/Palestine, this volume creates an updated body of reference to fifty years' worth of scholarship.

Описание: As Europe experienced tumultuous change after the Second World War, two Polish exiles, Jerzy Stempowski (1893–1969) and Andrzej Bobkowski (1913–1961), discussed and redefined their ideas of the continent in the pages of Kultura, the Polish ?migr? review. Highlighting the changes in their writings about «the West», «the East» and «civilization», this book pieces together the evolution of their own self-understanding as Europeans, the overlooked shifts of accents along with silences and falsifications. By following these two writers’ accounts of the events that led them from Poland and Ukraine to France, West Germany, Switzerland, the United States and Latin America, this study shows the tension between changing discourses and individual lives, between the wider concept of Europe and the experience of exile, emigration and belonging.

This book provides an overview of some recent findings in the theory and applications of non-integer order systems. Discussing topics ranging from the mathematical foundations to technical applications of continuous-time and discrete-time fractional calculus, it includes 22 original research papers and is subdivided into four parts:
- Mathematical Foundations
- Approximation, Modeling and Simulations
- Fractional Systems Analysis and Control
- Applications
The papers were selected from those presented at the 10th International Conference of Non-integer Order Calculus and its Applications, which was held at the Bialystok University of Technology, Poland, September 20-21, 2018.
Thanks to the broad spectrum of topics covered, the book is suitable for researchers from applied mathematics and engineering. It is also a valuable resource for graduate students, as well as for scholars looking for new mathematical tools.
How socialist architects, planners, and contractors worked collectively to urbanize and develop the Global South during the Soviet era
In the course of the Cold War, architects, planners, and construction companies from socialist Eastern Europe engaged in a vibrant collaboration with those in West Africa and the Middle East in order to bring modernization to the developing world. Architecture in Global Socialism shows how their collaboration reshaped five cities in the Global South: Accra, Lagos, Baghdad, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait City.
Lukasz Stanek describes how local authorities and professionals in these cities drew on Soviet prefabrication systems, Hungarian and Polish planning methods, Yugoslav and Bulgarian construction materials, Romanian and East German standard designs, and manual laborers from across Eastern Europe. He explores how the socialist development path was adapted to tropical conditions in Ghana in the 1960s, and how Eastern European architectural traditions were given new life in 1970s Nigeria. He looks at how the differences between socialist foreign trade and the emerging global construction market were exploited in the Middle East in the closing decades of the Cold War. Stanek demonstrates how these and other practices of global cooperation by socialist countries--what he calls socialist worldmaking--left their enduring mark on urban landscapes in the postcolonial world.
Featuring an extensive collection of previously unpublished images, Architecture in Global Socialism draws on original archival research on four continents and a wealth of in-depth interviews. This incisive book presents a new understanding of global urbanization and its architecture through the lens of socialist internationalism, challenging long-held notions about modernization and development in the Global South.
Описание: A pesar de las diferencias historicas, economicas, sociales, juridicas y geopoliticas entre Mexico y Polonia, las transformaciones tanto economica como democratica dieron origen a concepciones oficiales de la pobreza que coinciden en ser distintas respecto a las que desarrollaron los fundadores del neoliberalismo y sus seguidores mas fieles, la pregunta central de este texto es ?por que surgieron estas diferencias? Ya que las concepciones establecidas en ambos paises contienen elementos liberales y antineoliberales que reflejan impactos de fuerzas, tanto exogenas como endogenas, de los actores y las instituciones, de las organizaciones no gubernamentales, de los partidos politicos, de la sociedad civil, de los organismos internacionales. Entre los principales elementos antineoliberales analizados se encuentran: la continuidad del paternalismo y el clientelismo en la ayuda a los pobres, la participacion ciudadana limitada a la recepcion de ayuda economica, el empoderamiento sin poder politico real; del mismo modo, la convivencia conflictiva entre la universalizacion de los derechos sociales y la precariedad en los ambitos de oportunidad y calidad, la multidimensionalidad en la concepcion de la pobreza y la imposibilidad de hacer una medicion de esa naturaleza en los circulos del poder.
