Nordic Approaches to Climate-Related Human Mobility
Academic discussion of climate‐related human mobility has understandably focused on the places where people are especially vulnerable to climate‐related harm: the Global South. Yet, the unique biophysical, legal and socio‐political characteristics of the Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’ to climate‐related mobilities, justify its independent attention. Filling this lacuna, this collection is the first to address climate‐related human mobility in the Nordic region. It is a timely and much needed collection, which brings together leading and emerging voices from both academia and practice in a single volume, spanning policy and geographical breadth...
Mohammed and Mohammedanism Critically Considered
The author lived in western Africa as a Christian missionary and intends this study as a tool of conversion. The study is divided into three books. The first book describes the historical context in which Mohammed lived and the important accomplishments of his life. In Book II, Koelle argues that Muslim authors plagiarized the story of Christ when writing about Mohammed. The book details the parallel storylines and symbolism. Chapter II of Book II contains filtered descriptions of Mohammed's physical aspects and personal habits as described by Muslim writers (his dress, his physical qualities, his miracles, his habits as to sneezing and yawning, etc). Book III is a Christianity-based assessment of "the real nature of the position occupied by Mohammedanism ..."
Security in Crisis
The concept of crisis is a recurrent staple in representations of modern forms of insecurity - from nuclear proliferation to cyber-security, armed conflict, the instability of political institutions, from pandemics to risks of social and financial collapse. Amidst this seeming ubiquity and ever-presence, the onset of climate and ecological emergencies as potential planetary-scale threats to the habitability of the Earth raise particularly urgent questions for how we conceive of and deal with crisis insecurity. How these forms of planetary insecurity come to be known, understood, and managed is thus of pressing importance. Security in Crisis seeks to provide an analysis of the complex combina...

Vietnam
In the late 1980s, most of the world still associated Vietnam with resistance and war, hardship, refugees, and a mismanaged planned economy. During the 1990s, by contrast, major countries began to see Vietnam as both a potential partner and a strategically significant actor—particularly in the competition between the United States and an emerging China—and international investors began to see Vietnam as a land of opportunity.
Recovery from Disaster
Disasters can dominate newspaper headlines and fill our TV screens with relief appeals, but the complex long-term challenge of recovery—providing shelter, rebuilding safe dwellings, restoring livelihoods and shattered lives—generally fails to attract the attention of the public and most agencies. On average 650 disasters occur each year. They affect more than 200 million people and cause $166 trillion of damage. Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are likely to intensify further the impact of natural disasters and add to reconstruction needs. Recovery from Disaster explores the field and provides a concise, comprehensive source of knowledge for academics, planners, archite...
