Vote and See
In the United States, the president comes to power essentially because three out of every ten citizens vote for him. Of the remaining seven, four do not vote and three vote against him. In the midterm elections, these figures are even more drastic: the entire House of Representatives and a third of the Senate answer to the "popular will" of just two out of every ten citizens. It is with this backdrop that we sought out José "Pepe" Mujica, President of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015 and labeled as "the poorest president in the world" during his presidency. Through the lens of his experience as an activist, revolutionary, political prisoner, legislator, and president, Mujica helps us view politics in a different way. He invites us to reflect on the power an individual can wield by voting. On the power an individual forfeits by not participating in elections. On the importance of at least being able to say you tried.
Disobeying the Security Council
This book examines how the United Nations Security Council, in exercising its power to impose binding non-forcible measures ('sanctions') under Article 41 of the UN Charter, may violate international law. The Council may overstep limits on its power imposed by the UN Charter itself and by general international law, including human rights guarentees. Such acts may engage the international responsibility of the United Nations, the organization of which the Security Council is an organ. Disobeying the Security Council discusses how and by whom the responsibility of the UN for unlawful Security Council sanctions can be determined; in other words, how the UN can be held to account for Security Co...
Das Kind
?Inspiriert von Peter Bichsel habe ich begonnen, Dinge umzubenennen; ich habe dem Kind eine Vielzahl allt?glicher W?rter mit entfremdeter Bedeutung beigebracht. Doch ich bef?rchte, dass das Kind intelligent ist, eines Tages in die Welt hinausgeht und innert Stunden die Sprache lernt, die ich ihm nie vermitteln wollte. Die jahrelange M?hsal w?re umsonst gewesen, ein Hohn w?re das, ein Grund mehr, das Kind zu zerbrechen, ihm eine un?berwindbare Angst vor dem Lernen einzuimpfen und sein Gehirn zu blockieren, nachdem es sich am Fehlwissen satt gefressen hat.? [Aus: Das Kind] Mirjam Richner erz?hlt teilweise verst?rende Geschichten mit gnadenlosem Humor. Das unterhaltsame und geistig anregende Werk dreht sich um soziale Experimente, Chancen, Verluste und weittragende Entscheidungen.
Newly Identified Axon Types of the Facial Nerve Unveil Supplemental Neural Pathways in the Innervation of the Face
Abstract: Introduction Neuromuscular control of the facial expressions is provided exclusively via the facial nerve. Facial muscles are amongst the most finely tuned effectors in the human motor system, which coordinate facial expressions. In lower vertebrates, the extracranial facial nerve is a mixed nerve, while in mammals it is believed to be a pure motor nerve. However, this established notion does not agree with several clinical signs in health and disease. Objectives To elucidate the facial nerve contribution to the facial muscles by investigating axonal composition of the human facial nerve. To reveal new innervation pathways of other axon types of the motor facial nerve. Methods Diff...
Italian Horror Film Directors
There is no cinema with such effect as that of the hallucinatory Italian horror film. From Riccardo Freda's I Vampiri in 1956 to Il Cartaio in 2004, this work recounts the origins of the genre, celebrates at length ten of its auteurs, and discusses the noteworthy films of many others associated with the genre. The directors discussed in detail are Dario Argento, Lamberto Bava, Mario Bava, Ruggero Deodato, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi, Antonio Margheriti, Aristide Massaccesi, Bruno Mattei, and Michele Soavi. Each chapter includes a biography, a detailed career account, discussion of influences both literary and cinematic, commentary on the films, with plots and production details, and an exhaustive filmography. A second section contains short discussions and selected filmographies of other important horror directors. The work concludes with a chapter on the future of Italian horror and an appendix of important horror films by directors other than the 50 profiled. Stills, posters, and behind-the-scenes shots illustrate the book.
