  • From Stalin to Mao

    Cornell University Press From Stalin to Mao

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisElidor Mëhilli has produced a groundbreaking history of communist Albania that illuminates one of Europe's longest but least understood dictatorships. From Stalin to Mao, which is informed throughout by Mëhilli's unprecedented access to previously restricted archives, captures the powerful globalism of post-1945 socialism, as well as the unintended consequences of cross-border exchanges from the Mediterranean to East Asia. After a decade of vigorous borrowing from the Soviet Unionadvisers, factories, school textbooks, urban plansAlbania's party clique switched allegiance to China during the 1960s Sino-Soviet conflict, seeing in Mao's patronage an opportunity to keep Stalinism alive. Mëhilli shows how socialism created a shared transnational material and mental culturestill evident today around Eurasiabut it failed to generate political unity. Combining an analysis of ideology with a sharp sense of geopolitics, he brings into view Fascist Italy's involvement in Albania,Trade ReviewAn important contribution to our understaning of socialist Albania, especially in a transnational context.... An engaging, thought-provoking work that will be of use to historians of the Cold War, communism, Eastern Europe, and Albania for years to come. * H-Net *Mëhilli's case study of Albania under communist rule presents several interesting points.... Albanian communist leaders turned to Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, and China over the decades for patronage and financial support to build up its industries, housing, and infrastructure. Mëhilli effectively uses the evidence of this Soviet material culture and points to the Albanian architects and construction workers who built much of modern Albania. * Choice *Transcending national history, offering glimpses into the lives of party leaders, expatriate experts and peasants and bringing forward many stimulating thoughts, From Stalin to Mao is a significant contribution to the emerging body of scholarship on transnational history of communism. * HSozKult *Mëhilli's book is a crisply written, well organized, and well supported account of a Soviet connection with a greater attraction and then a greater rejection than in the rest of Eastern Europe. * Journal of Modern History *Mëhilli's book is a must read for students of Communism and the Cold War, both between West and East and inside the Eastern bloc. * AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW *Mëhilli has proven himself to be not only a first-rate scholar, but an excellent writer, too. For years to come, From Stalin to Mao will be the definitive work on Albanian economics from 1945 to the end of Marxism in the early 90's. * Slavic and East European Journal *

Rooted in his extensive knowledge of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and electronics, and developed through personal experimentation in the sensory isolation tank that he invented, Lilly's manual shows how to step out of the mind-body and find out who we really are.

  • Weapons of Mass Migration

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisGreenhill offers the first systematic examination of forced migration as an important but largely unrecognized instrument of state influence. She shows both how often this unorthodox brand of coercion has been attempted and how successful it has been.Trade ReviewWeapons of Mass Migration simply altered the way I viewed the flow of peoples. Countries with lower standards of behavior can use the threat of forcing their people to leave, which would send a flow of unwanted migrants/refugees to democracies that would then have to deal with them. It is very much an asymmetric approach for weaker authoritarian regimes to mess with advanced democracies. Is this policy relevant? You betcha, as democracies such as the United States have to figure out how to react to these kinds of threats. It certainly pressured France and Italy in different ways when Qaddafi was threatening to send refugees to Europe. -- Stephen M. Saideman * Foreign Policy *A new, authoritative look at forced displacement, skillfully linking politics to migrations. This combination moves beyond migration as a single focused topic and connects it to choices within foreign policy. Any student of demography, conflict, and politics will be well served by this exploration of the interaction between government control, migration, and the willingness of populations to move. * Political Science Quarterly *An innovative and beautifully written analysis of how, and to what extent, refugee flows are exploited by states in order to affect policy options taken and decisions made by their counterparts. * Journal of Refugee Studies *Greenhill explains the use of state-engineered migration as a tool of coercive statecraft in the post–World War II era. She rightly points out that this rather insidious means of political suasion has been used numerous times over the relatively short period examined, and with a striking degree of success. Weapons of Mass Migration is innovative, well written, rigorously researched, and timely. It is both theoretically innovative and policy relevant, and will likely spur several new paths for IR research and migration studies. * Perspectives on Politics *IR theorists, foreign policy analysts and migration, security studies, and human rights scholars will all find this book a valuable addition to their scholarship. * Political Studies Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Reader is a kind of belated debutante ball for Hans Blumenberg, inviting a new audience to view Blumenberg not only at his entrance to scholarly life in the 1940s but also to key moments in his ascent of the rarefied staircase of German intellectual history, leading to rooms unintended for commoners. * Critical Inquiry *The Reader provides us with an impressive cross-sectional sample of important essays by Blumenberg, essays that will make his ideas available in a serious form, but without the months-long labors necessary for any reader to make his or her way through the six to eight hundred page tomes that constitute the cornerstones of Blumenberg's approach. * PHILOSOPHICAL QUARTERLY *A landmark contribution to English-language work on Blumenberg. It gathers in a single paperback volume Blumenberg's most important essays, many of which also appear here in English for the first time. This will allow Blumenberg's thought to be read, cited, taught, and studied in English-speaking contexts on an entirely different scale and in entirely different ways than before... Here, in pieces intended for solo publication that range in length from four to approximately forty pages, the Reader presents a version of Blumenberg's thought that is sharper, spryer, more focused and more accessible than those that have appeared before. * The Germanic Review *Bajohr, Fuchs, and Kroll have gathered, in the best translation this great prose stylist has received, fundamental short texts by Blumenberg that were the seeds of his later encyclopedic volumes * Common Knowledge *Bound to provide much needed nourishment, History, Metaphors, Fables provides readers with a sample broad enough to appreciate the prolific scope of the author's interests, in subject matters and genres alike, yet reasoned enough to prevent a loss of bearings. The resulting compilation should enable inquiries for guiding threads across a vast and variegated corpus. * Contributions to the History of Concepts *Table of Contents1.

We wake up and smell it. We crave it when we're sleepy. We take deep lungfuls of its rich aroma when we buy a new bag of it. We put it in cakes, cocktails and just about every other type of food imaginable. But most of all, we rely on it to punctuate our day with a caffeine hit and a small burst of all its delicious flavours. In this homage to the coffee bean you will:- Learn how coffee was discovered, how it is grown and how it is turned into our favourite drink- Discover everything you wanted to know about different beans, roasting styles and brewing techniques- Take a barista training course from the comfort of your own kitchen, with top tips on making the perfect brew at home- Get to grips with modern developments in the coffee world, such as nitro, cold brew, proffee and snapchilled coffee- Try out delicious coffee-based recipes, from flavoured lattes and iced coffees to coffee fudge, tiramisu, homemade syrups and espresso martinisThe only thing this book doesn't contain is caffeine - you'll have to make a fresh cup of joe for that.
