The Shadow in The Corner & Other Classic Ghost Stories

'In recent decades, a remarkable shift away from authoritarianism and towards democracy has occurred in many parts of the developing world. However alongside this political shift, dramatic economic and social inequalities and inequities remain. While social scientists have devoted much energy to explaining how and why democratization occurs, they have devoted much less energy to explaining the conditions under which further democratization is able to help promote economic and social development. This book aims to help fill this lacunae, focusing directly on issues related to the substantive impact of democracy on the lives of ordinary citizens. This book, the third in a series of books by a distinguished group of international scholars on the challenges and dynamics of democratization in the Global South, is a welcome contribution to a critical field of study and should be of interest to students of both development and democracy.' -Sheri Berman, Columbia University, USA

'This book provides vauable insights on how democracy can be deepened and made to serve the interests of working people without sacrificing economic growth. The point of departure is Nordic social democracy, but the challenges of economic development, institution building and political mobilization in the Global South provide the context for understanding the book's core concern of transformative politics. Students of comparative politics, political economy and development studies in general will find this book useful.' -Yusuf Bangura, former Research Coordinator at UNRISD

'Bringing together an impressive collection of contributors, intelligent comparative analysis, and in-depth understanding of countries across the Global South, this volume makes a significant contribution to the study of processes of democratic transformation. It will be valued in political science, development studies, and beyond.' - Glyn Williams, University of Sheffield, UK

The Importance of Transformative Politics

Democratization in the Global South

"Enlightening and inspiring…. Convincingly shows … all religions of the world can endorse a global ethic and each has a distinctive contribution to it. This book offers Judaism as a 'case study' for a global project."—Paul F. Knitter, Paul Tillich Professor of Theology, World Religions, and Culture, Union Theological Seminary“At a time when people around the globe experience great division but also the unifying power of technology, this new framework offers hope for interfaith dialogue and understanding.”—Rabbi Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus, president, Central Conference of American Rabbis“Demonstrates the rich contribution Judaism can make to the development of an ethical framework for today’s global society. [Gives] the Jewish tradition its rightful place at the center of the ongoing discussion of a global ethic.”—John T. Pawlikowski, OSM, PhD, professor of social ethics; director, Catholic-Jewish Studies Program, Catholic Theological Union“Proclaims the equality and worth of all persons in the eyes of God—irrespective of their faiths…. A vital and significant addition to the library of ecumenical discourse and interfaith dialogue.”—Rabbi David Ellenson, president, Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion

"This book contains papers presented at the conference "Applied Geometric Algebra in Computer Science and Engineering" (AGACSE 2001)…. The goal was to demonstrate how the framework of geometric algebra (Clifford algebra) could unify and illuminate diverse fields of science and engineering.

The articles reveal [a] range [of] fields: from quantum physics to robotics, from crystallographic groups to image understanding, from relativistic mechanics to signal processing. Despite this diversity, the combination of these subjects was not felt to be artificial.

This book should be…useful to mathematicians…physicists, [and] to mechanical and computer engineers."

—Iasi Polytechnic Magazine
"The conference ‘Applied Geometric Algebras in Computer Science and Engineering’ (AGACSE 2001) was held… July 9–13, 2001. The present book contains the papers of this scientific meeting and reflects the constantly growing interest in searching the applications of geometric algebra (or Clifford algebra) in various fields of science.

Geometric algebra includes a lot of techniques from several mathematical theories (linear algebra, vector calculus, projective geometry, complex analysis) and offers new directions in some unexpected domains like quantum physics, robotics, crystallographic groups, image understanding, relativistic mechanics, signal processing.

The volume begins with a preface written by the Editors and a useful list with contributors…. There are four sections: Algebra and Geometry…, Applications to Physics…, Computer Vision and Robotics…, Signal Processing and Other Applications….

In conclusion, a very useful book both for beginners and specialists!"

First Prize in Surgery at BMA Medical Book Awards for 2015“‘This book is an authoritative and novel contribution to the specialty literature: a connoisseur’s delight. … this book is a detailed guide to difficult management and should be available in every trauma unit worldwide. It’s that good. Congratulations on bringing together such an extraordinary and authoritative guide.’” (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2015)“This volume sets out to provide a comprehensive
coverage of all aspects of facial injuries. … There are numerous well-documented
cases that enable the reader to consider important principles as well as early
and definitive management. I recommend this volume as a valuable reference
source for both trainees and those who wish to augment their facial trauma
skills.” (International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Vol. 44 (8),
August, 2015)“This is a beautifully illustrated, anatomic description of repair techniques for blunt and penetrating facial injury … . Otolaryngologists, plastic and reconstructive surgeons with an interest in facial trauma, radiologists seeking to image and identify gross and subtle injuries, and general trauma providers are an appropriate audience for this work … . this is an excellent training tool for postgraduate fellows or registrars and a worthy office reference for more senior providers.” (David J.

Clancy, 16, lives alone with her very protective father who owns and teaches at a skydiving school, the Drop Zone. Her mother died in a freak skydiving accident 10 years ago while practicing with her exhibition team. Clancy is very focused on school, but when she is not studying archaeological digs or packing parachutes at the DZ, she spends her free time with best friend Julia and her boyfriend, Theo. He is the classic &ldquo;overbearing boyfriend&rdquo; who thinks Clancy is a wilting flower. When Theo unexpectedly goes away for the summer and a very interesting college boy starts frequenting the DZ, Clancy is torn between her current, comfortable, life and a future of freedom that seems closer than ever. Clancy feels constrained by her present situation but has to confront her past before she can move forward in her life. The plot is greatly influenced by the personal and political landscape brought to light by the Gamergate controversy and the #MeToo movement. There is personal hardship, adventure and adrenaline, as well as romance (there is a heavy petting scene, but it is tame enough for an older middle schoolers). This classic coming-of-age story begs to be advertised for summer reading. VERDICT Hand it to fans of Cecil Castellucci&rsquo;s Don&rsquo;t Cosplay with My Heart and anything written by Sarah Dessen.&ndash;School Library Journal

'This volume brings a level of sophistication to both the social sciences and humanities-based queer theory as a way to ignite a new queer cultural studies. Using interdisciplinary methods, it makes the reader seize a queer futurity we already have access to if only at momentarily times and spaces refusing to accept that belonging, and making community, aren't happening today. This book moves beyond simple, neoliberal markers of 'equality,' paying attention to other axes of power besides sexuality - truly embodying the minoritarian subject positions of queer utopias. Through sites such as NGOs and classrooms, practices such as barebacking and BDSM, and the use of parenting and performance, these chapters 'move' us all toward a productive sense of queer politics.' - Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Editor, The Sexuality of Migration, Associate Sociology Professor, American University, USA

"This fascinating volume assembles qualitative research that, by tracing the extraordinary potential inherent in ordinary lives and everyday practices of freedom, gives the lie to anti-futurity polemics in queer theory. A Critical Inquiry into Queer Utopias pushes a vital conversation to the next level." Tim Dean, Professor of English, The State University of New York at Buffalo, USA
