The Third UN is the ecology of supportive non-state actors-intellectuals, scholars, consultants, think tanks, NGOs, the for-profit private sector, and the media-that interacts with the intergovernmental machinery of the First UN (member states) and the Second UN (staff members of international secretariats) to formulate and refine ideas and decision-making at key junctures in policy processes. Some advocate for particular ideas, others help analyze or operationalize their testing and implementation; many thus help the UN 'think'. While think tanks, knowledge brokers, and epistemic communities are phenomena that have entered both the academic and policy lexicons, their intellectual role remains marginal to analyses of such intergovernmental organizations as the United Nations. <br><br> Autorid: Tatiana Carayannis, Thomas G.

A book to help you rediscover the often overlooked spiritual discipline of mercy, learning how a proper understanding of God's mercy towards ourselves and others is the antidote to the conflict and anger that's so widespread in our increasingly divided world. In a world of polarising politics, cancel culture, and social media virtue signalling, we risk losing any sense of what it means to have mercy. And yet Jesus calls us to 'be merciful, just as your Father is merciful' (Luke 6.36).In this thoughtful and practical book, Natalie Williams explores what it means to be a true mercy-bringer. First, we need to develop a deep appreciation of the mercy of God, which is more astonishing than we dare to believe. As the old hymn says, 'tis mercy all when it comes to God's dealings with his children. Once we have understood that, it will transform the way we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We will be drawn closer to Jesus and, as a result, we will reflect his mercy to a world that desperately needs it.ContentsIntroductionPart 1: 'A God Merciful'Part 2: Our struggle to 'love mercy'Part 3: Merciful thinkingPart 4: Merciful actionsConclusion Mercy isn't a common word in our world today. In fact, between our polarizing politics, celebrity cancel culture and social media virtue signalling, mercy itself isn't all that common full stop.And yet, as rare as this age-old virtue can feel today, mercy is rife in the Bible. As Christians worshipping a God who is so rich of mercy, surely, we should look different to the world around us? And yet, so often we can find it all too hard to show mercy to ourselves and to others. We love justice and hate mercy.In this thought-provoking and practical book, Natalie Williams invites you to cultivate the often-overlooked discipline of mercy that our world today so desperately needs. Diving into the scriptures, we explore why we struggle to grasp God's astonishing mercy and see that when we do, it has the power to transform how we see God, ourselves and those around us.Discover the life-changing discipline of mercy as we learn that when it comes to our lives and what the world desperately needs, really 'Tis Mercy All'. <br><br> Autorid: Natalie Williams <br>

In this expansive history, Robert J. Steinfeld offers a thorough re-interpretation of the origins of American judicial review and the central role it quickly came to play in the American constitutional system. Beginning with Privy Council review of American colonial legislation, the book goes on to provide detailed descriptions of the character of the first American constitutions, showing that they drew heavily on traditional Anglo/American constitutional assumptions, which treated legislatures as the primary interpreters of constitutions. Steinfeld then expertly analyses the central role lawyers and judges played in transforming these assumptions, creating the practice and doctrine of American judicial review in a half dozen state cases during the 1780s. The book concludes by showing that the ideas formulated during those years shaped critical decisions taken by the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which turned the novel practice into a permanent, if still deeply controversial, feature of the American constitutional system. In this expansive history, Steinfeld develops a thorough, systematic account describing how American judicial review was brought into being during the 1780s. This book will be an indispensable resource to those interested in constitutional history, as well as to legal scholars more generally. <br><br> Autorid: Robert J. Steinfeld <br>

During the bloody years of the First English Civil War, as the battles of Edgehill, Newbury and Naseby raged, another war was being fought. Its combatants fought with cunning and deceit, a hidden conflict that nevertheless would steer the course of history. The story of the spies and intelligence-gatherers of the Roundheads and Royalists is one that sheds new light on the birth of the Commonwealth.In 'To Walk in the Dark', intelligence specialist John Ellis presents the first comprehensive analysis of the First English Civil War intelligence services. He details the methods of the Roundhead spies who provided their army commanders with a constant flow of information about the movements of the King's armies, describes the earliest use of code-breaking and mail interception and shows how the Cavalier intelligence forces were overcome. He also reveals the intelligence personnel themselves: the shadowy spymasters, agents and femmes fatales. The descriptions of how intelligence information was used in the main Civil War battles are particularly fascinating and show - for the first time - how intelligence information played a decisive role in determining the outcome of the Civil War itself. In 'To Walk in the Dark', intelligence specialist John Ellis presents the first comprehensive analysis of the First English Civil War intelligence services. <br><br> Autorid: John Ellis <br>

George Benjamin’s motet ‘Twas in the Year was first performed by the Choir of King’s College Cambridge in 1980. A 7-minute setting of a prophetic vision from the Book of Isaiah for SATB choir and organ, it opens with the austere clarity of an unaccompanied tenor solo. As more voices join its textures grow in complexity before a climactic unison, after which the solo tenor of the opening returns. A perfect carol for Advent and Christmas, for intermediate level choirs. <br><br> Autorid: George Benjamin <br>

Shortlisted for the 2023 Sports Book Awards for Best Football Writing of the YearDiscover the origins of the Lionesses that brought football home. England's Lionesses are on the front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children’s replica jerseys. These women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a ban on women’s football, pronouncing the sport 'quite unsuitable for females'.That ban would last for half a century - but despite official prohibition the women’s game went underground. From the Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned Women's World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the foundations for today's Lionesses - so much so that in 2018 England's Women’s Super League became the first fully professional league in Europe...when just a few decades previously women were forbidden to play the sport in England at all.This book tells the story of women’s football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records – the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today’s stars flourish.'At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie’s forensic research and depth of knowledge make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women’s football' - Kelly Cates, TV presenter This book tells the story of women’s football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers.

What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character is a captivating collection of reminiscences from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman. Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an unquenchable thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life. In this collection of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes funny, these writings are infused with Feynman's curiosity and passion for life. 'Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct through these pages' The New York Times 'Outrageously gifted, iconoclastic, irrepressible ... Richard Feynman still has the capacity to suprise' Observer 'One of the greatest minds of the twentieth century ... he was also stubborn, irreverent, playful, intensely curious and highly original in practically everything he did' New York Review of Books 'If more scientists were like Feynman, the world really would be a better, and better understood, place' Independent on Sunday Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books, also available in Penguin, include QED, Six Easy Pieces, Six Not-so-Easy Pieces, Don't You Have Time to Think, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, What Do You Care What Other People Think? and The Meaning of it All. <br><br> Autorid: Richard P Feynman <br>

Merton Naydler joined the RAF at the age of nineteen and served for the next six years until May 1946. He flew Spitfires and Hurricanes during a tour of duty that took him to North Africa, Burma and Malaya. Merton Naydler joined the RAF at the age of nineteen and served for the next six years until May 1946. He flew Spitfires and Hurricanes during a tour of duty that took him to North Africa, Burma and Malaya. This well written and extremely entertaining memoir portrays wartime life in the desert environment where sand and flies and life under canvas made living and flying a daunting experience. When the author was posted to Burma he was filled with 'a deep and genuine dread'. After a long uncomfortable trip he joined 11 Squadron and was now faced with Japanese Zeroes in combat over dense tropical jungle rather than Bf 109s over a barren desert terrain. 'Daytime flying was hot as hell, the humidity intense' - the author's description of his new posting that goes on to describe life in 'Death Valley', named because of the likeliness of falling victim to tropical disease rather than enemy aircraft. This is the story of a sergeant pilot who learned his trade the hard way, in action over Africa and then honed his combat skills in the skies over Japanese-held tropical forests where he was eventually commissioned. <br><br> Autorid: Merton Naydler <br>

With this new issue entitled (After)care, The Eyes explores the methods and approaches of photographers who address the most traumatic chapters of our individual and collective histories. After collaborating with SMITH (Transgalactic, 2020) and Johny Pitts (B-Side, 2021), we invited the Spanish artist Laia Abril to take over the content of the magazine. This issue explores the role of responsibility in the process of photography. Many questions are raised in this issue: how do we portray our deepest wounds? What is the significance of vulnerability in the creation of photographs? How can we ensure that the violence of the world is not repeated through the violence of images? This issue of The Eyes features a variety of works and books by artists who all represent, in their own way, a practice of photographic care. The works address subjects as diverse as colonial wars, natural disasters, sexual and gender violence, and disability. Texts and interviews with researchers and artists broaden the reflection on this subject, which is as yet little discussed.

The war on terror has been raging for many years now, and subsequently there is a growing body of literature examining the development, motivation and effects of this US-led aggression. Virtually absent from these accounts is an examination of the central role that gender, race, class and sexuality play in the war on terror. This lack of attention reflects a continued resistance by analysts to acknowledge and engage identity-related social issues as central elements within global politics. As this conflict spreads and deepens, it is more important than ever to examine how diverse international actors are using the war on terror as an opportunity to reinforce existing gendered, raced, classed and sexualized inter/national relations. This book examines the official war stories being told to the international community about why and against whom the war on terror is being waged. The book will benefit students, scholars and practitioners in the areas of international relations, women's studies and cultural studies. As the war on terror spreads and deepens, it is more important than ever to examine how diverse international actors are using the war on terror as an opportunity to reinforce existing gendered, raced, classed and sexualized inter/national relations.

In todays world, strategic knowledge management is a critical practice for all businesses seeking to protect its assets and produce intelligible and useable information. However, formally implementing a comprehensive knowledge management infrastructure to support an organizationenabling businesses to create, protect, and collaborate through knowledgeis often easier said than done. How do businesses adapt to the evolving challenges of knowledge management, and what best-practice tips are actually based on common misconceptions? From social media and collaborative information systems to new technological developments in cognitive computing and artificial intelligence, (Il)logical Knowledge Management dives deep into the sometimes less-than-logical approaches to knowledge management that pervade present practice. It goes beyond existing understanding of how knowledge is transferred, stored, and shared to address the key challenges organizations face in overseeing their business knowledge management efforts. In finding the logical by way of the illogical, Beverly Weed-Schertzer highlights opportunities in both the public and private sectors to improve the efficacy and extent of knowledge management infrastructure. <br><br> Autorid: Beverly Weed-Schertzer <br>

Raamat koosneb kolmest osast. Esimese osa „Filosoofia ajalugu: mõistus ja ilmutus“ moodustavad filosoofia ajaloo alased artiklid. Arutelud liiguvad varauusaegse filosoofia, teaduse ja religiooni põimumiskohtades, mis on tänapäeva lugeja jaoks sageli kummastavad, ent oma ajastu kontekstis igati ratsionaalsed. Teine osa „Tõsimeeli haridusest ja teaduspoliitikast“ sisaldab põhiliselt ajaleheartikleid, milles võrdlemisi provokatiivses stiilis kirjeldatakse nüüdisaegses ülikoolis õppimise, õpetamise ja teadusetegemisega kaasnevaid probleeme humanitaari vaatenurgast. Enamus neist probleemidest (humanitaaria kui valdkonna alavääristamine ja alarahastamine, õppejõudude madalad palgad, õpetamisprotsessi kommertsialiseerumine jne) on tänasel päeval sama aktuaalsed kui nende artiklite avaldamise ajal aastatel 2004–2012. Kolmas osa „Mänguliselt elust ja kunstist“ koosneb loomingulistest tekstidest ja ühest pikemast intervjuust, mis kõik seonduvad erinevate kunstiliikide või eluliste seikadega. <br><br> Autorid: Roomet Jakapi <br>

The volume includes a prologue and an epilogue. Each chapter constitutes an extensive interview with one of these colleagues. Chapter one (Mignolo): colonial and postcolonial dimensions since the Early Modern / colonial period (circa 1500) and the legacy of post-structuralism in American academia. Crucial notion of the colonial difference vis-à-vis the critical interrogation of the category of West. Chapter two (John Beverley): we are dealing with the insertion of postmodernism, cultural studies and subaltern studies, and also the insertion of the sign Baroque, inside American life. Chapter three (Adorno): we are dealing with avatars of colonial studies of Latin America in the Home of the Brave particularly in relation to the work that defines her on the historical figure of Guaman Poma de Ayala. Chapter four (Rabasa): we are dealing with the themes of (epistemic) violence apropos Precolombian legacies, the historical relations between Mexico and the United States and the implications of subaltern studies. Chapter five (González Echevarría): in marked contrast with what has preceded, we are dealing with the vindication of pleasure in literary and cultural criticism and repudiations of politics or ideology, within rich historical continuities between Spain and Latin America. There are at least five different nationalities (Argentina, American, Mexican, Cuban, Spaniard) and more than five institutional affiliations (Duke, Yale, Pittsburgh, etc.). Fernando Gomez Herrero has had a roving faculty experience in a few American and British universities (Duke, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Oberlin College, Birmingham, Manchester, etc.). <br><br> Autorid: Fernando G Herrero <br>

'An exhilarating, genre-defying read' Observer, 'Beautiful' Elif Shafak, 'Absolutely sensational' Michael Cashman, CBE, 'Powerful and compelling' New Statesman', 'Brilliant' Caitlin Moran In a world where women have more choices than ever, society nevertheless continues to exert the stigma and pressures of less enlightened times when it comes to having children. We define women by whether they embrace or reject motherhood; whether they can give birth or not. Behavioural Scientist Pragya Agarwal uses her own varied experiences and choices as a woman of South Asian heritage to examine the broader societal, historical and scientific factors that drive how we think and talk about motherhood. She looks at how women's bodies have been monitored and controlled through history, and how this shapes the political constructs of motherhood and womanhood now. Extremely open in its honesty and meticulously researched, (M)otherhood probes themes of infertility, childbirth and reproductive justice, and makes a powerful and urgent argument for the need to tackle society's obsession with women's bodies and fertility. <br><br> Autorid: Pragya Agarwal <br>

This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved. <br><br> Autorid: Benoit B. Mandelbrot, Richard L. Hudson <br>

„Tukastame hommikuni,” ütleb Ardo ja kustutab tule. „Ma magan siis sinu kõrval. Kui sind muidugi ei häiri, et ma norskan.” Ent nad uinuvad päriselt alles vastu hommikut. Riided on voodi ees hunnikus maas. Rebeka teksade peal vedelevad Ardo aluspüksid, sealsamas on Rebeka pluus ja Ardo raske metallist püksirihm. Rebeka tajub, et ta hääl kõlab pimedas toas veidralt kumedana. „Ma ei tea, ma olen natuke noor nagu.” „Proovi aru saada, mina vaatan sind mehe pilguga.” „Sa oledki must kümme aastat vanem.” „Jah, ja tahan sind hirmsasti!” „Ma pole nagu valmis. Ma peaksin ka nagu päriselt tahtma.” „Jah, sul on õigus. Täiesti. A’ mis klassi sa lõpetad?” „Üheksanda.” Rebeka on oma klassi veidrik. Ta jälestab kooli, tuiab vabal ajal sõbrannadega vanalinnas ning kulutab kogu taskuraha kassettidele, raamatutele ja odavale veinile. Rebeka otsib ka armastust ning leiabki selle. Tõsi, armastus pole selline, nagu ta arvab, ega tule sealt, kust ta seda ootab. Aasta on 1998, alkoholi saab putkast kätte ööpäevaringselt ning tutvusi sõlmitakse trollipeatuses. „(Mitte just) armastuslugu” on Brigitta Davidjantsi (snd 1983) debüütromaan. See on kohustuslik raamat tänastele tüdrukutele, aga ka kõige neile, kelle tütarlapseiga jäi pöörastesse üheksakümnendatesse. <br><br> Autorid: Brigitta Davidjants <br>

Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway - known to one and all in football as 'Ollie'. As manager of Blackpool FC - and having somehow guided them to the Premier League - he told thousands of fans at the civic reception in the town that he had something in common with Blackpool.. "we both look better when the lights are out." His penchant for laughing at himself and enjoying sharing his wisdom became his forte, but Ollie is no clown. Father of three profoundly deaf daughters, Ollie guided Blackpool to the top division against all odds, almost took Plymouth Argyle to the Promised Land and managing established Premier League clubs such as Leicester and Crystal Palace as well as maintaining a dignified presence throughout a turbulent spell as QPR boss during a career that has spanned 40 years as player and manager (plus a spell where he fulfilled both roles). He has been dubbed as 'inspirational' by those who played for him, a 'genius' by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game - and occasional feistiness - into a reflection of football that only he could provide. With 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League - from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, 'The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie' is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. Add in the odd curve ball of the Antiques Road Show, dad dancing, Donald Trump and his genuine love of women's football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan. <br><br> Autorid: Ian Holloway <br>
