The Ethics of Military Privatization
This book explores the ethical implications of using armed contractors, taking a consequentialist approach to this multidisciplinary debate. While privatization is not a new concept for the US military, the public debate on military privatization is limited to legal, financial, and pragmatic concerns. A critical assessment of the ethical dimensions of military privatization in general is missing. More specifically, in light of the increased reliance upon armed contractors, it must be asked whether it is morally permissible for governments to employ them at all. To this end, this book explores four areas that highlight the ethical implications of using armed contractors: how armed contractors...

Strangers in Paris
The stunning variety of writing in this anthology addresses the city of Paris in all its complexity, while challenging the mythology of expatriate Parisian literature. Strangers in Paris contains entries as diverse and disparate as an excerpt from John Berger's novel, Here is Where We Meet; Antonia Alexandra Klimenko's take on a Van Gogh painting; a tongue-in-cheek take on the nineteenth-century novel by Helen Cusack O'Keeffe; a trio of poems by Jorie Graham; Canadian writer Lisa Pasold's story of a forced extended stay in Paris; and an interview with the celebrated American poet Alice Notley. More than anything, this volume is a landmark, a notice that begs and entices readers to explore the current English-language authorship developing in and about Paris.

He focuses on key British and American writers, including Byron, Ruskin, Pound and Eliot.
Foundations of Stable Homotopy Theory
The beginning graduate student in homotopy theory is confronted with a vast literature on spectra that is scattered across books, articles and decades. There is much folklore but very few easy entry points. This comprehensive introduction to stable homotopy theory changes that. It presents the foundations of the subject together in one place for the first time, from the motivating phenomena to the modern theory, at a level suitable for those with only a first course in algebraic topology. Starting from stable homotopy groups and (co)homology theories, the authors study the most important categories of spectra and the stable homotopy category, before moving on to computational aspects and more advanced topics such as monoidal structures, localisations and chromatic homotopy theory. The appendix containing essential facts on model categories, the numerous examples and the suggestions for further reading make this a friendly introduction to an often daunting subject.
