Описание:
Can a book change the world? If books were integral to the creation of the imperial global order, what role have they played in resisting that order throughout the twentieth century? To what extent have theories and movements of anti-imperial and anticolonial resistance across the planet been shaped by books as they are read across the world?
This updated edition of Fighting Words responds to these questions by examining how the book as a cultural form has fuelled resistance to empire in the long twentieth century. Through fifteen case studies that bring together literary, historical and book historical perspectives, this collection explores the ways in which books have circulated anti-imperial ideas, as they themselves have circulated as objects and commodities within regional, national and transnational networks. What emerges is a complex portrait of the vital and multifaceted role played by the book in both the formation and the form of anticolonial resistance, and the development of the postcolonial world.

Описание: The study of the negative effects of chemical substances on living organisms are studied under toxicology. The field also encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of exposures of organisms to toxins and toxicants, relationship of the dose with its effect as well as the factors influencing toxicity of the chemical agent. Adverse reactions generally depend on the route of exposure, dosage and factors of age, sex, health, species, etc. Toxicity experiments can be conducted in vivo, in vitro or in silico. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of toxicology. It elucidates new techniques of toxicology testing and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. In this textbook, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of toxicology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.

Описание: Nothing set the world in motion like gold. Between the discovery of California placer gold in 1848 and the nostalgic rush to Alaska fifty years later, the search for the precious yellow metal accelerated global circulations of people, goods, capital, and technologies. A Global History of Gold Rushes brings together historians of the United States, Africa, Australasia, and the Pacific World to tell the rich story of these nineteenth century gold rushes in global perspective. Gold was central to the growth of global capitalism; it whetted the appetites of empire builders, mobilized the integration of global markets and economies, profoundly affected the environment, and transformed global migration patterns. Together these essays tell the story of fifty years that changed the world.

Описание: Who gets into elite universities, how and why? What are places like Harvard in the United States or Cambridge in England looking for when they admit undergraduate students? What qualities do selectors value and how do they decide between many applicants with often stellar attainment records? And, are we all better off because of who these elite universities admit? Meritocracy and the University provides an insight into the world of university admissions. Based on interviews with professional admissions staff and academic faculty members who select students, the book explains what selectors value and how they make decisions. By shining a light on the world of university admissions in England and in the United States, readers are invited to reflect on the similarities and differences in who selects and how selection is done, the purpose and mission of universities, and the challenges universities face in building fair admissions processes when earlier opportunities to shine in education are unequally distributed.
