The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests: Essays

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Evans, Sterling, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests" is the first collection of interdisciplinary essays bringing together scholars from both sides of the forty-ninth parallel to examine life in a transboundary region. The result is a text that reveals the diversity, difficulties, and fortunes of this increasingly powerful but little-understood part of the North American West. Contributions by historians, geographers, anthropologists, and scholars of criminal justice and environmental studies provide a comprehensive picture of the history of the borderlands region of the western United States and Canada. "" "The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests" is divided into six parts: Defining the Region, Colonizing the Frontier, Farming and Other Labor Interactions, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Nineteenth Century, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Twentieth Century, and Natural Resources and Conservation along the Border. Topics include the borderlands' environment; its aboriginal and gender history; frontier interactions and comparisons; agricultural and labor relations; tourism; the region as a refuge for Mormons, far-right groups, and Vietnam War resisters; and conservation and natural resources. These areas show how the history and geography of the borderlands region has been transboundary, multidimensional, and unique within North America.

From Bilateralism to Community Interest: Essays in Honour of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fastenrath, Ulrich / Geiger, Rudolf / Khan, Daniel-Erasmus, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, This festschrift, dedicated to Judge Bruno Simma, traces the development of international law from regulating bilateral state-to-state relationships towards strengthening the entire international community by protecting human security, the global environment, and human rights. It provides both theoretical and practical insights into these sometimes conflicting goals, their basis in international law, and the role played by international institutions charged with upholding these values and interests. The work thus examines the mechanism by which international law contributes to the realization not only of individual State interests, but the interests of the international community as a whole. From this vantage point, it looks at the various functions that international law fulfils in the international community, from law-making and institution-building towards adjudication and the securing of human rights. Taken together, the contributions to this book paints a detailed, but nevertheless comprehensive picture of the realization of community interest in contemporary international law. As professor and judge, Bruno Simma has contributed to all of these tasks: providing ground-breaking theoretical work, serving in the International Law Commission and in the Committee for Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, and finally, as a judge at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The three introductory chapters express this unity of life and work.

Traditions: Essays on the Japanese Martial Arts and Ways

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lowry, Dave, PUBLISHER: Tuttle Publishing, The goals of the budo -- the martial arts and ways of Japan lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones -- and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers. The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life -- and provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists. This collection of essays includes discussions of: The spirit of ryomi, the process of self-evaluation and improvement -- as illustrated in the story of Kaofujita, a master swordsman who never stopped practicing the first movement he learned. The importance of yuyo -- the distance where an attacker must focus his strike -- from the story of Jubei, where his mastery and control of yuyo determined his victory. The significance of ma -- the space in time between successive attacks or between a defense and a counter -- through the story of Yamada Shinryukan, whose exploitation of ma led him to his death. With its focus on traditional martial arts, and fascinating stories that illustrate key martial arts principles, Traditions will be required reading for serious martial artists.

The Unknown Karen Horney: Essays on Gender, Culture, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Horney, Karen / Paris, Bernard, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, This volume of writings by the distinguished psychoanalyst Karen Horney () completes the publication of her unpublished and uncollected work. It includes pieces on feminine psychology and the relations between the sexes as well as on other aspects of psychoanalytic theory. The editor's introductions set these works in context, showing their significance for Horney's thought and their relation to her other writings. The material in Part 1 provides an important supplement to Feminine Psychology, the book that established Horney as the first great psychoanalytic feminist. It reveals aspects of Horney's early thought not fully developed elsewhere, along with the views about feminine psychology and the relations between the sexes that reflect her later thinking. Part 2 deepens our understanding of the final two phases of Karen Horney's thought -- her break with Freud and proposal of a new psychoanalytic paradigm in the s, and her mature theory, developed in the s. In presenting eighteen previously unpublished pieces, four essays that have not been available in English, and other texts that have been difficult to locate, this collection makes accessible an important segment of Horney's work.

The Ways of Paradox and Other Essays, Revised Edition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Quine, W. V., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, This expanded edition of "The Ways of Paradox" includes papers that are among Professor Quine's most important and influential, such as "Truth by Convention," "Carnap and Logical Truth," "On Carnap's Views on Ontology," "The Scope and Language of Science," and "Posits and Reality." Many of these essays deal with unresolved issues of central interest to philosophers today. About half of them are addressed to "a wider public than philosophers." The remainder are somewhat more professional and technical. This new edition of "The Ways of Paradox" contains eight essays that appeared after publication of the first edition, and it retains the seminal essays that must be read by anyone who seeks to master Quine's philosophy. Quine has been characterized, in "The New York Review of Books," as "the most distinguished American recruit to logical empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of the first rank." His "philosophical innovations add up to a coherent theory of knowledge which he has for the most part constructed single-handed." In "The Ways of Paradox" new generations of readers will gain access to this philosophy.

Palladio's Children: Essays on Everyday Environment and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Habraken, N. J. / Teicher, Jonathan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Based on many years of personal observation, Palladio's Children critically examines the role of the architect as a professional descendent of Palladio, and as an heir to his architectural legacy. Seven innovative and carefully crafted essays explore the widening ideological schism between today's architects whose core values, identity and education remain rooted in the Renaissance legacy of creating artful 'masterpieces', and the practical demands on a profession which acts within an evolving, ubiquitous and autonomous built environment or 'field'. Clearly written yet expressing complex, evolving ideas, this extended argument opens a new forum of debate across design theory, professional practice and academic issues. Moving the subject on from a historical perspective, Habraken shows how architects are increasingly involved in the design of everyday buildings. This must lead to a reassessment of architects' identities, values and education, and the contribution of the architect in the shaping of the built environment.
