The Berliners
The Berliners is a collection of stories revolving around three very different pairs of lovers who find each other at the wrong place and the wrong time. The place: Berlin, Germany. The time: three decades in the twentieth century, each with its own unique social and political implications. The tragedy of true love both found and forbidden cycles in each story. The question remaining to be answered during the course of each plot is whether or not our heroes will be able to overcome the obstacles of war, political division, and racism and finally arrive at both accepting themselves and being accepted by society in their unique time and place. The story of Heinrich and Paul follows their relat...
Conscientious Objection
Refusing to take part in war is as old as war itself. This wide-ranging and original book brings together four different bodies of knowledge to examine the practice of conscientious objection: historical and philosophical analyses of conscientious objection as a critique of compulsory military service and militarization; feminist, LGBT and queer analyses of conscientious objection as a critique of patriarchy, sexism, and heterosexism; activist and academic analyses of conscientious objection as a social movement and individual act of resistance; legal analyses of the status of conscientious objection in international and national law. Conscientious objection is an increasingly important subject of academic and political debate in countries including the US, Israel and Turkey. This book provides a much needed introduction and tool for making sense of the history of nation-states in the 20th century and understanding the political developments of the early 21st century.
From Where We Stand
This original study examines women's activism against war in areas as far apart as Sierra Leone, India, Colombia and Palestine. It shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Israel addressing racism and refusing enmity and describes international networks of women opposing US and Western European militarism and the so-called 'war on terror'. These movements, though diverse, are generating an antimilitarist feminism that challenges how war and militarism are understood, both in academic studies and the mainstream anti-war movement. Gender, particularly the form taken by masculinity in a violent sex/gender system, is inseparably linked to economic and ethno-national factors in the perpetuation of war.
Antimilitarism
A lively, first hand account of the ideas and activities of women and men in anti-war, anti-militarist and peace movements. The author looks at the tensions and divergences in and between organizations, and their potential for cohering into a powerful worldwide counter-hegemonic movement for violence reduction.
The Elgar Companion to Antonio Gramsci
Affirming Antonio Gramsci’s continuing influence, this adroitly cultivated Companion offers a comprehensive overview of Gramsci’s contributions to the interdisciplinary fields of critical social science, social and political thought, economics and emancipatory politics. Within the tradition of historical materialism, it explores the continuing impact of Gramscian perspectives in the present day.
Carbon-Based Metal Free Catalysts
Carbon-Based Metal Free Catalysts: Preparation, Structural and Morphological Property and Application covers the different aspects of carbon-based metal free catalysts, including the fabrication of catalysts from natural sources and carbon allotropes, their manufacturing and design, characterization techniques, and applications. Special features in the book include illustrations and tables which summarize up-to-date information on research carried out on manufacturing, design, characterization and applications of metal free catalysts. This book assembles the information and knowledge on metal free catalysts and emphasizes the concept of green technology in the field of manufacturing and design. It is an ideal reference source for lecturers, students, researchers and industrialists working in the field of new catalyst development, especially polymer composites and is a valuable reference book handbook for teaching, learning, and research. - Describes the design on metal-free catalysts - Includes manufacturing technique of carbon-based metal free catalysts - Lists applications of carbon-based metal free catalysts - Discusses the characterization of carbon-based metal free catalysts
Direct Liquid Fuel Cells
Direct Liquid Fuel Cells is a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals and specificities of the use of methanol, ethanol, glycerol, formic acid and formate, dimethyl ether, borohydride, hydrazine and other promising liquid fuels in fuel cells. Each chapter covers a different liquid fuel-based fuel cell such as: Anode catalysts of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), future system designs and future trends for direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs), development of catalysts for direct glycerol fuel cells (DGFCs), the mechanisms of the reactions taking place at the anode and cathode electrodes, and the reported anode catalysts for direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) and direct formate fuel cell (...
İzmir Savaş Karşıtları Derneği
Oğuz Sönmez'in dediği gibi "İSKD, bir başka açıdan da; bir anarşist faaliyetin, dergicilikten eyleme geçme noktasında ortaya çıkışıydı. Söylenmiş epey söz, bir çok dilde ortaya çıkmış dergiler, otonomlar artık vücut bulmalıydı. Onlara göre bu duruma en uygun yapı, aynı zamanda bir ‘çatı’ örgütlenmesi de olacak olan savaş karşıtı bir dernekti. Yepyeni söylemler ve duruşlar ortaya çıkarttılar: Anti-militarist bir ideoloji, vicdani ret gibi çok radikal ve her türlü özelliği ile örnek bir ‘itaatsizlik’ duruşu (daha geniş anlamda ‘şiddetten arınmış yöntemlerle eylem’ çizgisi) ve anti hiyerarşik, ‘özyönetim’e dayalı bir yapılanma...." Bu kitapta, çağrımıza yanıt veren İSKD aktivistleriyle yaptığımız röportajları bulacaksınız. Çoğunlukla belleklerde kalan, yitip gitme tehlikesi olan birçok anı ve nüans ve strateji, İSKD'nin etkileyici tarihçesi boyutuyla, bu kitapta tecelli ediyor. Amacımız, İSKD'yi sadece yeni nesillere anımsatmak değil, ayrıca tarihin yapraklarını yeniden açmak.
