Evan Easton-Calabria's critical history of refugee self-reliance
assistance brings new dimensions to refugee and international
development studies. The promotion of refugee self-reliance is
evident today, yet its history remains largely unexplored, with
good practices and longstanding issues often missed. Through
archival and contemporary evidence, this book documents a century
of little-known efforts to foster refugee self-reliance, including
the economic, political, and social motives driving this
assistance. With five case studies from Greece, Tanzania, Pakistan,
Uganda, and Egypt, the book tracks refugee self-reliance as a
malleable concept used to pursue ulterior interests. It reshapes
understandings of refugee self-reliance and delivers important
messages for contemporary policy making. The first chapter is
available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Atlas of Hybrid Imaging of the Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis, Volume
Two: Sectional Anatomy for PET/CT, PET/MRI and SPECT/CT provides a
guide for interpreting PET and SPECT in relation to co-registered
CT and/or MRI. In this atlas, exclusively dedicated to thorax,
abdomen and pelvis, nuclear physicians and radiologists cover
hybrid nuclear medicine based on their own case studies. The
practical structure in two-page unit offers readers a navigational
tool based on anatomical districts, with labeled and explained
low-dose multiplanar CT or MRI views merged with PET fusion imaging
on one side and enhanced CT or MRI on the other. This new format
enables the rapid identification of hybrid nuclear medicine
findings which are now routine at leading medical centers. Each
chapter begins with three-dimensional CT and/or MRI views of the
evaluated anatomical region, bringing forward sectional tables.
Clinical cases, tricks and pitfalls linked to several PET or SPECT
radiopharmaceuticals help introduce the reader to peculiar
molecular pathways and improve confidence in cross-sectional
imaging that is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatments.
This is a study of early modern government finance in the kingdom
of Naples, one of the most important European dominions of the
Spanish Empire. Professor Calabria focuses on the period from the
mid-sixteenth century to the time of the Thirty Years' War. He
connects fiscal developments to larger issues, such as the
seventeenth-century crisis, the decline of Italy and Spain, and the
economic and social significance of investments in government
securities markets in early modern Europe. The Cost of Empire
blends quantitative data on economic, fiscal, and financial affairs
with non-quantitative material detailing attitudes, economic
behaviour, and administrative practices. The quantitative material
includes analyses of government budgets from 1550 to 1638 and a
computer study of about 4,500 investors and their investments in
state securities in the later sixteenth century. The work is
unrivalled in the breadth, comprehensiveness, and sophistication of
its analysis of an early modern fiscal system.
Atlas of Hybrid Imaging of the Heart, Lymph Nodes and
Musculoskeletal System, Volume Three: Sectional Anatomy for PET/CT,
PET/MRI and SPECT/CT provides a guide for interpreting PET and
SPECT in relation to co-registered CT and/or MRI. In this atlas,
exclusively dedicated to heart, lymph nodes and musculoskeletal
system, nuclear physicians and radiologists cover hybrid nuclear
medicine based on their own case studies. The practical structure
in two-page unit offers readers a navigational tool based on

When refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance
are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO
implementing partners. In camps and cities, the dominant
humanitarian model remains premised upon a provider-beneficiary
relationship. In parallel to this model, however, is a largely
neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to create
organisations or networks as alternative providers of social
protection. Based on fieldwork in refugee camps and cities in
Uganda and Kenya, this book examines how refugee-led organisations
emerge, the forms they take, and their interactions with
international institutions. Developing an original theoretical
framework based on the concept of 'the global governed', the book
shows how power and hierarchy mediate the seemingly benign notion
of protection. Drawing upon ideas from anthropology and
international relations, it offers an alternative vision for more
participatory global governance, of relevance to other
policy-fields including development, humanitarianism, health,
peacekeeping, and child protection.

The Taj Mahal, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1592-1666
CE) as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631 CE), is
considered exceptional in the history of world architecture.This
book provides a deeper understanding of the Taj Mahal and its
builder by examining its inscriptions within their architectural,
historical and biographical contexts. The texts adorning the Taj
Mahal comprise verses from twenty-two different chapters of the
Qur'an but their meaning and significance escapes most non-Muslim
visitors or those unable to read them. This book will be the first
dedicated solely to the inscriptions in the monument, providing
translations, commentary and interpretation of the texts. As well
as offering a unique approach to the study of the building, the
book uses the inscriptions to expound the foundational elements of
Islam, the faith of Shah Jahan and also what the Taj Mahal still
means today.
For the first time, in this atlas nuclear physicians and
radiologists cover the entire hybrid nuclear medicine (PET/CT,
SPECT/CT and PET/MRI), based on their own case studies. The
structure in three volumes represents an user friendly guide for
interpreting PET and SPECT in relation to co-registered CT and/or
MRI. Three companion volumes with a practical structure in two-page
unit offer to the reader a navigational tool, based on anatomical
districts, with labeled and explained low-dose multiplanar CT or
MRI views merged with PET fusion imaging on the right hand and
contrast enhanced CT or MRI on the other side. This new format
enables rapid identification of hybrid nuclear medicine findings
which are now routine at leading medical centers. Volume 1 is
focused on brain and neck PET imaging, with emphasis on PET/MRI;
Volume 2 concerns thorax, abdomen and pelvis, with particular
attention on lung and liver segmental anatomy and evaluation of
peritoneum. Special chapters on heart, lymph nodes and
musculoskeletal system, are collected in the Volume 3. Each chapter
begins with three-dimensional CT and/or MRI views of the evaluated
anatomical region, bringing forward sectional tables. Clinical
cases, tricks and pitfalls linked to several PET or SPECT
radiopharmaceuticals help to introduce the reader to peculiar
molecular pathways and to improve confidence in cross-sectional
imaging, that is vital for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of
diseases.
Inspired by the works of Professor Marcelo Neves, in this book
colleagues come together to explore how their research has been
influenced by non-European and post-colonial approaches. With a
foreword by Karl-Heinz Ladeur, it features essays written by
leading scholars in the fields of sociology of law and
constitutional theory - including Hauke Brunkhorst, Dario
Rodrigues, Kimmo Nuotio and Pablo Holmes. The content is divided
into four sections, the first of which, "Law, State, and Global
Crisis," covers topics related to the modern constitutional state,
the crisis of global capitalism, and the global rule of law. The
second, "Symbolic Constitutionalization," analyzes challenges to
constitutionalism in the "Peripheral Modernity." The authors in the
third section examine how the concept of "Transconstitutionalism"
can shed new light on contemporary debates concerning global public
law. In turn, the last section of the book, "Systems Theory and
Public Law," addresses systems theory issues in the fields of legal
history and administrative law. The book presents a relevant and
original discussion encompassing such diverse fields as
constitutional theory, international law, systems theory, and
sociology of constitutions.

The Cosmic Religion: Love God, Love Neighbor, Love Self,
illuminates an Ancient Truth revealed in the teachings of Jesus
Christ, Bhagavan Krishna, Gautama Buddha, Lao Tzu, Guru Nanak,
Moses, Zarathustra, Muhammad, Paramhansa Yogananda, and others.
This handbook for religious discussion and interfaith dialogue
identifies the universal golden thread linking eight religions,
explains the common thinking and behavior of the three types of
believers that exist in all religions, and interprets some of the
spiritual mysteries revealed by Jesus from a cosmic religious
perspective. It will change the way we look at the world's
religions and how they all fit - and don't fit - together.
Iconoclastic and expansive, Calabria's foundational treatise is
profoundly relatable as it simplifies the discussion into terms
that are easy to understand and apply. Its unique ability to
provide evidence of unity in the world's religions offers not only
insight into the beliefs of others but also into one's own as well.
It searches for universal understanding based upon common sense,
scriptures, saints and sages. A groundbreaking new handbook for
students of religious discussion who intuitively know there must be
underlying order, unity and truth to the world's religions, this
volume offers a new explanation for the external conflicts between
religious groups and the internal confusion found in all religious
traditions. Neither a "new age" book nor a panacea claiming all
religions are the same, it delves deeply into the three intertwined
strands that compose the one universal golden thread running
through all religions. Ralph Calabria's determination to develop
and share a comprehensive vision of religion has motivated his
research, writing, lecturing, meditating, as well as his seeking
guidance from saints and sages for over fifty years.
Dance marathons were a phenomenally popular fad during the manic
1920s and depressive 1930s. What began as a craze soon developed
into a money-making business which lasted 30 years. Some 20,000
contestants and show personnel participated in these events;
audiences, the majority women, totalled in the millions. "A Poor
Man's Nightclub," dance marathons were the dog-end of American show
business, a bastard form of entertainment which borrowed from
vaudeville, burlesque, night club acts and sports.
