Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements


Free Download Christopher S. Browning, "Remaking Europe in the Margins: Northern Europe after the Enlargements"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 113862036X, 0815391455 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.6 mb
Originally published in 2005. This comprehensive volume examines the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in Europe, in particular what these developments will mean for the future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by America’s distinction between ‘New Europe’ and ‘Old Europe’. The volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern Europe have helped shape the nature of European space, borders and governance, including how the EU, the US and Russia have each highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and globally. Presenting original articles, the volume will appeal to scholars of regional politics as well as security, international relations theory and geopolitics.

Free Download Power, Voting, and Voting Power: 30 Years After By Manfred J. Holler, Hannu Nurmi (auth.), Manfred J Holler, Hannu Nurmi (eds.)
2013 | 762 Pages | ISBN: 3642359280 | PDF | 9 MB
The developments over a thirty-year time span in the study of power, especially voting power, are traced in this book, which provides an up-to-date overview of applications of n-person game theory to the study of power in multimember bodies. Other theories that shed light on power distribution (e.g. aggregation theory) are treated as well. The book revisits the themes discussed in the well-known 1982 publication "Power, Voting and Voting Power" (edited by Manfred J. Holler). Thirty years later this essential topic has been taken up again and many of the authors from its predecessor participate here again in discussing the state-of-the-art, demonstrating the achievements of three decades of intensive research, and pointing the way to key issues for future work.

Epistemology After Sextus Empiricus


Free Download Katja Maria Vogt, Justin Vlasits, "Epistemology After Sextus Empiricus"
English | 2020 | pages: 329 | ISBN: 019094630X | PDF | 3,9 mb
Sextus Empiricus was the voice of ancient Greek skepticism for posterity. His writings contain the most subtle and detailed versions of the ancient skeptical arguments known as Pyrrhonism, adding up to a distinctive philosophical approach. Instead of viewing philosophy as valuable because of the answers it gives to important questions, Sextus considered the search for answers itself to be fundamental and offered a philosophy centered on inquiry. Assuming the point of view of an active inquirer, Sextus developed arguments concerning conflicting appearances, infinite regress in argument, dogmatic assertion of premises that are insufficiently justified, and many other ideas that fascinated later philosophers of knowledge across the centuries. He provided a unique perspective on topics of enduring relevance such as perception, language, logical consequence, belief, ignorance, disagreement, and induction.

After Fidel The Inside Story of Castro’s Regime and Cuba’s Next Leader


Free Download Brian Latell, "After Fidel: The Inside Story of Castro’s Regime and Cuba’s Next Leader"
English | ISBN: 1403975078 | 2007 | 304 pages | EPUB | 474 KB
This is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of the extraordinary Castro brothers and the impending dynastic succession of Fidel’s younger brother Raul. Brian Latell, the CIA analyst who has followed Castro since the sixties, gives an unprecedented view into Fidel and Raul’s remarkable relationship, revealing how they have collaborated in policy making, divided responsibilities, and resolved disagreements for more than forty years-a challenge to the notion that Fidel always acts alone. Latell has had more access to the brothers than anyone else in this country, and his briefs to the CIA informed much of U.S. policy. Based on his knowledge of Raul Castro, Latell makes projections on what kind of leader Raul would be and how the shift in power might influence U.S.-Cuban relations.

This richly illustrated book presents different implant supported overdenture application strategies to help clinicians face a widening range of possibilities in edentulous patients. Edentulism is generally correlated with a functional and esthetic challenge for the patient and brings psychological problems, possibly affecting routine activities. Throughout the book, much attention is devoted to preventive prosthodontics emphasizing the importance of any procedure that can delay or eliminate future prosthodontic problems. Overdenture is an important part of the preventive treatment modality. The introductory chapter of this book explains the theoretical and technical background as well as clinical considerations for overdenture. Different attachment systems for overdentures are then described in detail covering stud attachments, bar attachments, magnetic and telescopic attachments. The final part of the volume focuses on the clinical evaluation parameters of an overdenture treatment, supporting tooth preparation and post treatment protocol. This book is a must have for all clinicians who treat complete denture patients. Two companion volumes covering treatment options before and after edentulism, including tooth supported overdentures and implant supported fixed restorations, are available separately.
