The Peace Epistemologies of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women in Mexico
The book dismantles prevalent misconceptions surrounding Indigenous peoples’ epistemologies on peace, arguing that the peace epistemologies which Indigenous peoples have built do not correspond to the past but are changing, living theories created and recreated through praxis. By examining the knowledge that members of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women (CONAMI) have built through their collective struggle in favor of Indigenous self-determination, this work illustrates how Indigenous women play a central role in revitalizing the worldviews of their peoples and fostering social change.
Estrogen Receptors
"This 8-chapter book is written by experts from China, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom and the United States of America. The book is focused on estrogen receptor structure, functions and clinical significance. Though we are unable to address all aspects of the estrogen receptors, we have analysed and discussed estrogen receptors or their isoforms in some major estrogen receptor-related disorders including cancers, endocrine diseases, respiratory diseases and obesity. The information provided by this book should aid our understanding the role of estrogen receptors in human diseases. This book will be of great value not only for clinicians interested in estrogen receptor-related diseases but also for basic scientists working in the field of estrogen receptors"--
Scorched Earth
A global history of environmental warfare and the case for why it should be a crime The environmental infrastructure that sustains human societies has been a target and instrument of war for centuries, resulting in famine and disease, displaced populations, and the devastation of people’s livelihoods and ways of life.

In this sweeping global history, Emmanuel Kreike shows how religious war i...

War No More
In the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, nonviolent movements for justice have succeeded where violent campaigns have failed. This book examines fourteen cases—eleven movements that succeeded and three that have, until now, failed—and shows why nonviolent strategies work, drawing on the thought of practitioners and theorists. Later chapters examine violent U.S. interventions abroad and at home, as well as citizen movements for nonviolent conflict resolution. As an introduction to nonviolent movements, this text engages students in recent events from the news as well as the history of modern warfare. Bringing in philosophical and religious texts from a diverse set of traditions, author Michael K. Duffey offers a multifaceted argument for embracing nonviolent solutions to conflict.

The Rohingya Crisis
Myanmar’s security forces have conducted clearance operations in the Rakhine State since August 2017, driving a mass exodus of ethnic Rohingyas to neighboring Bangladesh.
