Using an approach that includes interpretive and contextual analysis of texts from writers, philosophers, and policy-makers across nearly two centuries, as well as historiographical and historical analysis of archival documents (some of which have been recently declassified) and other media, Liberalism and Transformation narrates the messy history of emancipatory liberalism and its engagement with issues of war and peace. The book contributes to both a rethinking of liberal democracy and its relationship to world politics, as well as the effects of liberal internationalism on global processes. Furthermore, Liberalism and Transformation invites readers to reflect on global ethics and transformation in world politics. In the first place, it shows how ethical imaginings of the world have direct effects on actions of transformative importance. In the second place, it suggests that discourses are fluid, changing, and complex"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632481</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632481</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tatum, Dillon Stone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632481075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Global Politics of Violence and Intervention</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780472902491/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why the Iraqi Resistance to the Coalition Invasion Was So Weak]]></title><description><![CDATA[Draws upon information derived primarily from interviews with and interrogations of senior Iraqi military and civilian officials to examine why the Iraqi resistance in March and April 2003 was so weak.

Much has been written about these colorful episodes and, through the courtesy of Hollywood and TV, has been brought into millions of homes in living color. But what happened to the people, including the Indians, who survived the great raid on Fort X, the bitter winters and scorching summers spent in primitive housing, the terrible loneliness and lack of communication with eastern kin? What did migrants do when they reached the end of the Mormon Trail? And did the Cherokees' Trail of tears become a neverending journey from one "relocation" to another? How did people develop and accommodate themselves to an environment which was itself constantly altered by an everchanging society?In these essays we find that tragedy and joy, victory and defeat, human fulfillment and human degradation are visible in roughly equal proportions in the story of the Americanization of the West: that the goals, both realistic and unrealistic, of one group, society, or culture are frequently pursued only at the expense of other groups; and that the skeletons in the closet of American history abound to a greater extent than a nation convinced of its own virtue is willing to admit. Racism has plagued the nation since its inception, and exploitation of one group by another was sadly a part of the Western frontier. However, there was a freshness and vigor in the history of the West. Young railroads continued to grow, linking productive farms with brawling cities. New businesses and new political parties emerged, all contributing to the growth of the region that Stephen A. Douglas called the "adhesive of the Union."This is a fascinating collection that serves to illuminate both the tragedies and accomplishments of the westward movement.]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9631609</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9631609</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1971 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9631609075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Responses to the Trans-Mississippi West</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780700630783/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rettens landskap]]></title><description><![CDATA[What gave rise to the Norse legal system? When? And where were the meeting places under this system located? These are questions that have long remained unanswered in Norwegian and Northern European history.An overriding theme of the book is establishing when this legal system arose and how it developed over time at the local and regional levels. Central topics include the localization of assembly sites in the landscape and how these sites became important to the consolidation of power structures and, later on, the royal system of governance. The 'things' are discussed in relation to successive political and economic structures as well as the influence of conditions within settlements and society. The book also looks at the assembly sites in their various contexts regarding localization and importance in the region, and in connection with the system's development in Northern Europe.The Landscape of the Law provides extensive insight into the places where law and justice and related legal matters were decided in Viken. This is an aspect of Norway's territorial division that has not been addressed in prior research. The book is relevant for researchers and history and archeology students working in such areas as legal and religious history, administrative jurisdictions, and state-formation processes, as well as local historians and other readers interested in cultural history.]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632587</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632587</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[nor]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ødegaard, Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632587075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Tingsteder og rettskretser i Viken i jernalder og middelalder</subtitle><language>nor</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788202734459/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creating the Qur'an]]></title><description><![CDATA["A Prophet Has Appeared will be the first anthology of the most significant sources for understanding the rise of Islam.

Jack L. Davis, codirector of ongoing excavations at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos takes readers on a tour of the beginnings of Mycenaean civilization through a case study of this important site. In collaboration with Sharon R. Stocker, Davis demonstrates that this ancient place was a major node for the exchange of ideas between the already established Minoan civilization, centered on the island of Crete, and the Greek mainland. Davis and Stocker show how this adoption of Minoan culture created an ideology of power focused on a single individual, one that celebrated his military prowess and invested him with divine authority--a figure instantly recognizable to readers of Homer and students of Greek history. A Greek State in Formation makes the powerful case that a knowledge of the Greek Bronze Age is indispensable to the Classics curriculum"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632525</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632525</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Davis, Jack L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632525075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Origins of Civilization in Mycenaean Pylos</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780520387256/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pursuing Truth]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Pursuing Truth, Mary Oates considers the history of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland (now Notre Dame of Maryland University), the first Catholic college in America to award the four-year baccalaureate degree to women.

It is an intimate and epic account of two Germans-Eva born Jewish, Otto born Catholic-who worked with a little-known German political group that resisted and fought against Hitler in Germany before 1933 and then in exile in Paris before the German invasion of France in May 1940. After their improbable escapes from separate internment and imprisonment in Europe, Eva obtained refuge in America in October 1940 where she worked to rescue other endangered political refugees, including Otto, with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt. As revealed in recently declassified records, Eva and Otto later engaged in different secret assignments with the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in support of the Allied war effort. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, Eva and Otto gave each other hope and strength as they acted upon what they understood to be an ethical duty to help others threatened by fascism. The book provides a sobering insight into the personal risks and costs of a commitment to that duty. Their unusually beautiful writing-directed to each other in diaries and correspondence during two long periods of wartime separation-also reveals an unlikely and inspiring love story."--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632205</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632205</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pfister, Thomas L.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632205075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Resistance, Refugees, and Love in the Time of Hitler</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781612496146/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Claiming Union Widowhood]]></title><description><![CDATA["In Claiming Union Widowhood, Brandi Clay Brimmer analyzes the US pension system from the perspective of poor black women during and after the Civil War.

Brimmer exposes and examines the numerous attempts by the federal government to exclude black women from receiving the federal pensions promised to the relatives of dead or maimed Union soldiers. Her analyses illustrate the complexities of social policy, law administration, and the interconnectedness of race, gender, and class formation. Expanding on previous analyses of pension records, Brimmer offers an interpretive framework of emancipation and the freedom narrative that places black women at the forefront of demands for black citizenship"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632258</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632258</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brimmer, Brandi Clay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632258075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Race, Respectability, and Poverty in the Post-emancipation South</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781478090403/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Camphill and the Future]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Camphill Movement, one of the world's largest and most enduring networks of 'intentional communities,' deserves greater recognition and study.

Camphillers of all abilities share daily work, family life, and festive celebrations with one another and their neighbors. Unlike so-called utopian movements that reject mainstream society altogether, Camphill expressly seeks to be 'a seed of social renewal' by evolving along with society to promote the full inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities, who comprise nearly half of their residents.

In Translating Wisdom, Shankar Nair reconstructs the intellectual processes that underlay these translations, traversing an exceptional linguistic scope including Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian materials. Using the 1597 Persian rendition of the Sanskrit Yoga Vāsiṣṭha as a case study, Nair traces the intellectual exchanges by which teams of Muslim and Hindu translators, working collaboratively and drawing upon their respective religio-philosophical traditions, crafted a novel lexicon with which to express Hindu philosophical wisdom in an Islamic Persian idiom. How did these translators find a vocabulary through which to convey Hindu, Sanskrit articulations of God, conceptions of salvation and the afterlife, Hindu ritual notions, etc., in Islamic Persian terms? How did these two communities of scholars devise a shared language with which to communicate and to render one another's religious and philosophical views mutually comprehensible? Translating Wisdom illustrates how these early modern Muslim and Hindu scholars found the words and the means to put their traditions into conversation with one another, achieving a nuanced inter-religious and cross-philosophical dialogue significant not only to South Asia's past, but also its present"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632216</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9632216</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nair, Shankar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9632216075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Hindu-Muslim Intellectual Interactions in Early Modern South Asia</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780520975750/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Committee on Ways and Means]]></title><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9663651</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9663651</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[United States]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9663651075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A History, 1789-2019</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the Bible to Shakespeare]]></title><description><![CDATA[This book will stimulate scholarly interest in the Ukrainian language and literature that have faced numerous challenges in the modern period.

Frequent interruptions of line of sight due to the prolificacy of man-made structures interfere with radio and global positioning system signals. They often combine with extreme noise, dust, smoke, and light conditions to impede leader control at all echelons. The density of noncombatants and their potentially crucial influence on friendly force success further demand effective employment and synchronization of psychological operations, civil affairs, public affairs, and other resources. Savvy use of existent systems, employing decentralized control procedures, and innovation all have their place in overcoming these inherent limitations in the service of achieving objectives across the spectrum of conflict.]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9631799</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9631799</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Glenn, Russell W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9631799075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780833037428/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Timber and the Forest Service]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is the revealing story of a U.S. Government agency long applauded as protector of a vital natural resource, until it began to alarm its once admiring and trusting public by expanding large-scale clearcutting in our national forest during the 1950s. . .

It examines how transformations in gender roles-though contested-were central to imagining a postapartheid South Africa. Through an analysis of women's diplomatic work and their advocacy for policies on sexual education, birth control, family life, and childcare, Rachel Sandwell challenges traditional narratives that have ignored or minimized women's contributions. She highlights how South African women played a crucial role in connecting exiles to left-wing international organizations like the Women's International Democratic Federation, positioning women as key figures in global anticolonial politics. The book also explores how gender transformation was at the heart of the exiled antiapartheid movement's vision for a free South Africa. Women fought for recognition beyond the role of "mothers of the nation," sparking internal debates over revolutionary morality, the compatibility of motherhood with military service, and responses to sexual and domestic violence within the movement. These struggles mirrored broader ideological conflicts over nation building, belonging, and political identity as the African National Congress sought legitimacy as a government-in-exile. Ultimately, National Liberation and the Political Life of Exile asks how we write histories of revolutionary movements-especially those that, despite their transformative ambitions, did not fully realize their goals. A vital contribution to feminist history, anticolonial studies, and the history of global liberation struggles, this book reshapes our understanding of gender and politics in the antiapartheid movement"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9648326</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9648326</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sandwell, Rachel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9648326075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Sex, Gender, and Nation in the Struggle Against Apartheid</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780821426678/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evolving Constitutional Rights]]></title><description><![CDATA["Evolving Constitutional Rights: The Roberts Court and Criminal Justice offers a compelling and in-depth analysis of how the U.S. Supreme Court has reshaped constitutional protections under Chief Justice John Roberts. Authors Christopher E. Smith, Michael A. McCall, and Madhavi M. McCall examine the Court's significant decisions from 2005 to Justice Breyer's retirement in 2022, revealing a complex judicial landscape where traditional doctrines are revised and fundamental rights are redefined. The Roberts Court played a decisive role in some of the most contentious issues in American law. Due to several justices' application of originalist interpretations, its rulings have reconfigured key constitutional protections--often in ways that expand the authority of law enforcement while constraining legislative power over criminal statutes. The trajectory of the Court's conservative supermajority raises pressing questions about the future of constitutional rights. Taking a rigorous yet accessible approach, Evolving Constitutional Rights breaks down the Court's influence across the full spectrum of criminal justice issues, from sentencing and trial rights to search-and-seizure protections, Miranda warnings, and corrections policies. Using both legal and empirical analysis, the authors track patterns in judicial ideology, uncovering how the Roberts Court has not only reinforced conservative principles but also unexpectedly broadened rights in areas such as digital privacy and defense counsel obligations. This timely and insightful book goes beyond historical rulings to offer a forward-looking perspective on the Supreme Court's role in shaping public safety, legal precedent, and the balance of power in American government. Essential reading for legal scholars, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the future of constitutional rights, this new volume provides a clear and authoritative examination of the Roberts Court's lasting impact on American law"--]]></description><link>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9663289</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9663289</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Christopher E.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://bpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9663289075</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Roberts Court and Criminal Justice</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780809339754/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
