Free Download The Impact of Science on Society (Routledge Classics) By Bertrand Russell
2016 | 120 Pages | ISBN: 1138641154 | EPUB | 1 MB
Many of the revolutionary effects of science and technology are obvious enough. Bertrand Russell saw in the 1950s that there are also many negative aspects of scientific innovation. Insightful and controversial in equal measure, Russell argues that science offers the world greater well-being than it has ever known, on the condition that prosperity is dispersed; power is diffused by means of a single, world government; birth rates do not become too high; and war is abolished. Russell acknowledges that is a tall order, but remains essentially optimistic. He imagines mankind in a ‘race between human skill as to means and human folly as to ends’, but believes human society will ultimately choose the path of reason.This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by Tim Sluckin.

Free Download Building Communities in Gujarat: Architecture and Society During the Twelfth Through Fourteenth Centuries (Brill’s Indological Library, 22) By Alka Patel
2004 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 9004138900 | PDF | 163 MB
The Indo-Islamic architecture subject of this book is not the result of a ‘clash of civilizations’, but to be seen as innovations of the local architectural tradition, a product of local craft traditions. Alka Patel here brings together two architectural corpora in a careful analysis of the 12th- through 14th-century Islamic ritual buildings of southeastern Sindh, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The new social and ritual demands of Islam led local craftspeople to initiate rejuvenation and expansion of their skills and knowledge.Moreover, the commonality of building practices among "religions" led to the intertwining of various Muslim and non-Muslim communities.The work’s analysis of epigraphical evidence will be seminal to reorientations of historical methods investigating interactions among socio-religious groups in the region.

Free Download Michel Foucault, "Society Must Be Defended : Lectures at the College De France, 1975-76"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0140270868 | PDF | pages: 334 | 5.7 mb
SOCIETY MUST BE DEFENDED is a full transcript of the lectures given by Foucault at the College de France in 1975-76. The main theme of the lectures is the contention that war can be used to analyse power relations. Foucault contends that politics isa continuation of war by other means. Thus, any constitutional theory of sovereignty and right is an attempt to refute the fact that power relations are based upon a relationship of conflict, violence and domination. The book is coloured with historical examples, drawn from the early modern period in both England and France, with wonderful digressions into subjects as diverse as classical French tragedy and the gothic novel.
