Free Download Guy Stern, "Invisible Ink "
English | ISBN: 0814347592 | 2020 | 274 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Invisible Ink is the story of Guy Stern’s remarkable life. This is not a Holocaust memoir; however, Stern makes it clear that the horrors of the Holocaust and his remarkable escape from Nazi Germany created the central driving force for the rest of his life. Stern gives much credit to his father’s profound cautionary words, "You have to be like invisible ink. You will leave traces of your existence when, in better times, we can emerge again and show ourselves as the individuals we are." Stern carried these words and their psychological impact for much of his life, shaping himself around them, until his emergence as someone who would be visible to thousands over the years.

International Law’s Invisible Frames Social Cognition and Knowledge Production in International Legal Processes


Free Download Andrea Bianchi, "International Law’s Invisible Frames: Social Cognition and Knowledge Production in International Legal Processes"
English | ISBN: 0192847538 | 2021 | 336 pages | EPUB, PDF | 712 KB + 23 MB
What is international law, and how does it work? This book argues that our answers to these fundamental questions are shaped by a variety of social cognition and knowledge production processes. These processes act as invisible frames, through which we understand international law. To better conceive the frames within which international law moves and performs, we must understand how psychological and socio-cultural factors affect decision-making in an international legal process. This includes identifying the groups of people and institutions that shape and alter the prevailing discourse in international law, and unearthing the hidden meaning of the various mythologies that populate and influence our normative world.

Adam Smith’s Political Philosophy The Invisible Hand and Spontaneous Order


Free Download Adam Smith’s Political Philosophy: The Invisible Hand and Spontaneous Order By Craig Smith
2005 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0203008480 | PDF | 1 MB
When Adam Smith published his celebrated writings on economics and moral philosophy he famously referred to the operation of an ‘invisible hand’. Adam Smith’s Political Philosophy makes visible this hand by examining its significance in Smith’s political philosophy and relating it to similar concepts used by other philosophers, thus revealing a distinctive approach to social theory that stresses the importance of the unintended consequences of human action. The first book to examine the history of Smith’s political philosophy from this perspective, this work introduces greater conceptual clarity to the discussion of the invisible hand and the related notion of unintended order in the work of Smith, as well as in political theory more generally. By examining the application of spontaneous order ideas in the work of Smith, Hume, Hayek and Popper, this important volume traces similarities in approach, and from these constructs a conceptual, composite model of an invisible hand argument. While setting out a clear framework of the idea of spontaneous order, the book also builds the case for using this as an explanatory social theory, with chapters on its application in the fields of science, moral philosophy, law and government.

Invisible Victims Homelessness and the Growing Security Gap


Free Download Invisible Victims: Homelessness and the Growing Security Gap By Laura Huey
2012 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 1442643285 | PDF | 2 MB
Despite Western society’s preoccupation with safety and protection, its most vulnerable members still lack access to the level of security that many of us take for granted. In this trailblazing study, Laura Huey illustrates the issue of a ‘security gap’ faced by increasing homeless populations: while they are among the most likely victims of crime, they are also among the least served by existing forms of state and private security.Invisible Victims presents the first comprehensive, integrated study of the risks faced by homeless people and their attempts to find safety and security in often dangerous environments. Huey draws not only on current debates on security within criminology, but also on a decade’s worth of her own field research on the victimization and policing of the homeless. A theoretically and empirically informed examination of the myriad issues affecting the homeless, Invisible Victims makes a compelling case for society to provide necessary services and, above all, a basic level of security for this population.

Invisible Cultures Historical and Archaeological Perspectives


Free Download Viola Gheller Francesco Carrer, "Invisible Cultures: Historical and Archaeological Perspectives"
English | ISBN: 1443874612 | 2015 | 315 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Cultural and social groups whose outlines are difficult to identify are often considered invisible. Occasionally, material remains compensate for the absence of historiographical records or literary sources concerning these groups; sometimes communities or individuals mentioned in literary sources do not appear to have left material signs of their presence. On the other hand, there are groups or individuals whose existence has to be assumed in every historical period, even though they are invisible in both historiography and archaeology. Before trying to understand the lifestyle and historical agency of these invisible cultures, it is necessary to highlight the reasons why the memory of certain marginalized individuals or socio-cultural units disappeared or was obliterated in material culture and in literary sources. The postgraduate conference Invisible Cultures: Historical and Archaeological Perspectives brought together young scholars from various backgrounds and research interests to discuss these issues. This volume presents the results of this debate, through a series of selected papers, from various interdisciplinary perspectives, which analyse a variety of case studies, leading to the identification of new theoretical and methodological perspectives aimed at returning voice and presence to the invisibles of history.
