This book offers a novel, incisive and wide- ranging account of
Libya's '17 February Revolution' by tracing how critical towns,
communities and political groups helped to shape its course. Each
community, whether geographical (e.g. Misrata, Zintan),
tribal/communal (e.g. Beni Walid) or political (e.g. the Muslim
Brotherhood) took its own path into the uprisings and subsequent
conflict of 2011, according to their own histories and relationship
to Muammar Qadhafi's regime. The story of each group is told by the
authors, based on reportage and expert analysis, from the outbreak
of protests in Benghazi in February 2011 through to the
transitional period following the end of fighting in October 2011.
They describe the emergence of Libya's new politics through the
unique stories of those who made it happen, or those who fought
against it. The Libyan Revolution and its Aftermath brings together
leading journalists, academics, and specialists, each with
extensive field experience amidst the constituencies they depict,
drawing on interviews with fighters, politicians and civil society
leaders who have contributed their own account of events to this
volume.
This highly-readable account of the nature of the hazards presented
by ionizing radiation and the methods of protection is an ideal
introductory text for those new to the field, and for the
non-specialist. The seventh edition continues to cover the
technical principles underlying the control of radiation hazards,
radiation detection and measurement and the biological effects of
radiation, followed by a consideration of industry-specific
radiation protection issues. Further specialised topics include
risk assessment, waste management and decommissioning, radiological
emergencies, relevant legislation and organizational issues and,
new to this edition, environmental radiation protection.
This controversial book examines one of the most fundamental questions of modern cosmology: how much matter is there in the Universe? This issue affects theories of the origin and evolution of the Universe as well as its geometrical structure and ultimate fate. The authors address this debate and point out the most likely avenues for determining the actual density of Universe matter in both visible and invisible forms by pulling together evidence from all available sources. They conclude that the balance of arguments presently lies with a density of around twenty percent of the critical density required for the Universe to ultimately recollapse. Written by two eminent cosmologists, this topical and provocative book will be essential reading for all cosmologists and astrophysicists.

Taha Muhammad Ali (1931-2011) was a much celebrated Palestinian
poet whose work is driven by a storyteller's vivid imagination,
disarming humour and unflinching honesty. Born in rural Galilee,
Muhammad Ali was left without a home when his village was destroyed
during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Out of this history of shared
loss and survival, he created art of the first order. His poems
portray experiences ranging from catastrophe to splendour, all the
while preserving an essential human dignity. Poetry Book Society

Poems of love and battle by Arabia's legendary warrior From the
sixth-century highlands of Najd in the Arabian peninsula, on the
eve of the advent of Islam, come the strident cries of a legendary
warrior and poet. The black outcast son of an Arab father and an
Ethiopian slave mother, 'Antarah ibn Shaddad struggled to win the
recognition of his father and tribe. He defied social norms and,
despite his outcast status, loyally defended his people. 'Antarah
captured his tumultuous life in uncompromising poetry that combines
flashes of tenderness with blood-curdling violence. His war songs
are testaments to his life-long battle to win the recognition of
his people and the hand of 'Ablah, the free-born woman he loved but
who was denied him by her family. War Songs presents the poetry
attributed to 'Antarah and includes a selection of poems taken from
the later Epic of 'Antar, a popular story-cycle that continues to
captivate and charm Arab audiences to this day with tales of its
hero's titanic feats of strength and endurance. 'Antarah's voice
resonates here, for the first time in vibrant, contemporary
English, intoning its eternal truths: commitment to one's beliefs,
loyalty to kith and kin, and fidelity in love. An English-only
edition.
The Industrial Workers of the World is a union unlike any other.
Founded in 1905 in Chicago, it rapidly gained members across the
world thanks to its revolutionary, internationalist outlook. By
using powerful organising methods including direct-action and
direct-democracy, it put power in the hands of workers. This
philosophy is labeled as 'revolutionary industrial unionism' and
the members called, affectionately, 'Wobblies'. This book is the
first to look at the history of the IWW from an international
perspective. Bringing together a group of leading scholars, it
includes lively accounts from a number diverse countries including
Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and Ireland, which
reveal a fascinating story of global anarchism, syndicalism and
socialism. Drawing on many important figures of the movements such
as Tom Barker, Har Dayal, Joe Hill, James Larkin and William D.
"Big Bill" Haywood, and exploring particular industries including
shipping, mining, and agriculture, this book describes how the IWW
and its ideals travelled around the world.
Are newspapers faced with an existential threat or are they
changing to meet the challenges of a digital world? With the
newspaper's role in a state of fundamental redefinition, Newspaper
Journalism offers a timely and up to the minute analysis of
newspapers today, in the context of their historical importance to
society. Drawing on their extensive experience in academia and also
across local, national, mainstream and alternative newspapers, Cole
and Harcup write clearly and engagingly from both industry and
scholarly perspectives, and contend that, far from dying,
newspapers are doing what they have always done: adapting to a
changing environment. This text is essential reading for all
students of the press, with comprehensive and critical coverage of
the most important debates in the study of newspaper journalism -
from ethics and investigative journalism to political economy and
the future of the industry. Given the shifting boundaries and
central importance of newspapers, it will be of interest to all
students of journalism and the media. Praise for the Journalism
Studies: Key Texts series: 'It is easy to describe a good textbook
for a specific journalistic format... The ideal book has to satisfy
a list of requirements that are also bullet-pointed in journalism
assignment outlines. A text has to: synthesize the existing body of
knowledge; explain concepts clearly; have a logical order of
topics; and provide enough information and directions to pursue
further study. One may also hope it would include real life
examples and be lucid, vivid and a pleasure to read. Hard to find?
Not anymore. The new SAGE series Journalism Studies: Key Texts
satisfies the main requirements on the list. Carefully planned and
meticulously edited by Martin Conboy, David Finkelstein and Bob
Franklin, the textbook series is a welcome contribution to the
literature of journalism studies... All three books follow the same
structural template: an overview of historical development;
explication of the political and economic frameworks within
particular types of journalism; a review of contemporary practices;
social demographics; a comparative analysis of practices around the
world; a summary of main conceptual approaches; an indication of
future directions; recommendations for further reading. This strong
organization resembles a template for a course outline. This is
intentional because the series is aimed both at students and their
practice-based lecturers, who often come straight from industry and
need time to adjust to the academic environment... [The series]
achieves its aim to bridge the sometimes too evident dissonance
between journalism theory and practice... They successfully situate
discussions about journalism in social and historical contexts. We
see the faces of individual journalists, the circumstances of news
production, the relationship with owners, the battle between the
public service and the profit nature of news, the relevance of
journalism work. The detailed account of the conditions under which
newspaper, radio and alternative journalism is produced and
performed make the Journalism Studies: Key Texts series mandatory
reading for both journalism students and their lecturers' - Verica

Part novel and part memoir, Yoel Hoffmann’s Moods is flooded with
feelings, evoked by his family, losses, loves, the soul’s hidden
powers, old phone books, and life in the Galilee—with its every
scent, breeze, notable dog, and odd neighbor. Carrying these shards
is a general tenderness, accentuated by a new dimension brought
along by “that great big pill of Prozac.” Beautifully
translated by Peter Cole, Moods is fiction for lovers of poetry and
poetry for lovers of fiction—a small marvel of a book, and with
its pockets of joy, a curiously cheerful book by an author who once
compared himself to “a praying mantis inclined to melancholy.”
