Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book offers the first sustained investigation into non-elite
understandings of radicalisation and counter-radicalisation policy.
Drawing on original focus group research with students from
universities across England and Wales, the book explores how
‘ordinary’ citizens understand radicalisation, how they make
sense of counter-radicalisation initiatives like the UK Prevent
Strategy, and how they evaluate its functioning and effects across
society. Radicalisation, counter-radicalisation and Prevent
demonstrates that these non-elite insights often contradict and
diverge from traditional (elite) security knowledge and thus shed
new light on wider questions around the politics of security. This
has vitally important implications not only for
counter-radicalisation and counter-terrorism policy but for the
very study and practice of security. -- .
The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical
overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our
understanding of organometallic structure, properties and
mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of
organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of
such diverse areas as organic synthesis, medical research, biology
and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad
range of topics in pure and applied organometallic chemistry, where
new breakthroughs are being achieved that are of significance to a
larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in
Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are
generally invited by the volume editors.
The remarkable story of Canon Andrew White, a man of great charm
and energy and one of the world's most trusted mediators and
reconcilers. Combined in a single volume for the first time, The
Vicar of Baghdad and My Journey So Far tell the story of how Andrew
overcame a childhood beset by illness to become an anaesthetist and
then a vicar in the Church of England. As vicar of St George's
Baghdad, the only Anglican church in Iraq, he has led a team
providing food, healthcare, and education on a major scale and
often in dire circumstances. He has had a considerable role in the
work of reconciliation, both between Christian and Jew and between
Shi'ite and Sunni Muslim. Andrew is widely recognised to be one of
a handful of people trusted by virtually every side in the complex
Middle East. Despite dealing with the pain from multiple sclerosis
and facing extreme personal danger, he has nevertheless been able
to mediate between opposing extremes. Political and military
solutions are constantly put forward, and often fail. Andrew offers
a different approach, speaking as a man of faith to men of faith.
He is trusted by those who trust very few.
Terrorism is often mistakenly thought of as a modern phenomenon,
but it goes back quite some time. A History of Terrorism charts the
history of political terror from nineteenth-century Europe to the
multinational operations of Arab and other groups today. The
question is: What is its true impact today and in the future?
Laqueur addresses long-neglected psychological issues concerning
the origins of and motivations behind terrorism, and examines the
sociology of terrorism in depth: funding, intelligence gathering,
weapons and tactics, informers and countermeasures, and the crucial
role of the media depiction of the "terrorist personality".
Systematic terrorism and current interpretations of terrorism, its
common patterns, motives, and aims, are unflinchingly faced and
clearly explicated. Laqueur ultimately considers the effectiveness
of terrorism and examines the ominous possibility of nuclear
blackmail. Originally published in 1977, this book is one of the
two most quoted works on terrorism. This expanded edition features
a new preface and important contributions by distinguished security
expert Bruce Hoffman that apply Laqueur's classic and seemingly
timeless work to contemporary terrorism issues.

This book charts contemporary developments in counter-extremism
within the UK education sector. Set against the background of the
controversial Prevent strategy the book focuses on the expansion of
counter-extremism into education and draws on key legislation such
as the Counter Terrorism and Security Act (2015) that imposed a
statutory counter-extremism duty on public sector workers in the
UK. The authors provide a wide-ranging critique that draws on
theories of surveillance and power, an international review of
counter-extremism educational initiatives and a series of
interviews with UK lecturers. Terrorism in the Classroom highlights
the problems that occur when counter-extremism becomes an objective
of education and a part of the curriculum, as well as the anxiety
that is felt by educators who have been deputised into the role of
counter-extremism practitioners. It will be of interest to students
and scholars across a range of disciplines, including Criminology,
International Relations, Politics and Education.
Given the powerful and forthright title of Andrew Dickson White's
classic study, it is best to make clear his own sense of the whole
as given in the original 1896 edition: "My conviction is that
science, though it has evidently conquered dogmatic theology based
on biblical texts and ancient modes of thought, will go hand in
hand with religion, and that although theological control will
continue to diminish, religion as seen in the recognition of a
'power in the universe, not ourselves, which makes for
righteousness' and in the love of God and of our neighbor, will
steadily grow stronger and stronger, not only in the American
institutions of learning, but in the world at large." White began
to assemble his magnum opus, a two volume work first published in
1896 as A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in
Christendom. In correspondence he wrote that he intended the work
to stake out a position between such religious orthodoxy as John
Henry Newman's on one side and such secular scoffing as Robert
Ingersoll's on the other. Historian Paul Carter declared that this
book did as much as any other published work "toward routing
orthodoxy in the name of science." Insofar as science and religion
came to be widely viewed as enemies, with science holding the moral
high ground, White inadvertently, became one of the most effective
and influential advocates for unbelief.
Stanislavsky's system of actor-training has revolutionised modern
theatre practice, and he is widely recognised to be one of the
great cultural innovators of the twentieth century. The Routledge
Companion to Stanislavsky is an essential book for students and
scholars alike, providing the first overview of the field for the
21st century. An important feature of this book is the balance
between Stanislavsky's theory and practice, as international
contributors present scholarly and artistic interpretations of his
work. With chapters including academic essays and personal
narratives, the Companion is divided into four clear parts,
exploring Stanislavsky on stage, as an acting teacher, as a
theorist and finally as a theatre practitioner. Bringing together a
dazzling selection of original scholarship, notable contributions
include: Anatoly Smeliansky on Stanislavsky's letters William D.
Gunn on staging ideology at the Moscow Art Theatre Sharon Marie
Carnicke and David Rosen on opera Rosemary Malague on the feminist
perspective of new translations W.B. Worthen on cognitive science
Julia Listengarten on the avant-garde David Krasner on the System
in America and Dennis Beck on Stanislavsky's legacy in
non-realistic theatre R. Andrew White is Associate Professor of
Theatre at Valparaiso University, where he annually directs
productions. He has an MFA in Acting from Carnegie Mellon
University and the Moscow Art Theatre School, and has worked as an
actor at a variety of theatres in the United States. In addition,
his scholarship has appeared in edited works published by Routledge
and Palgrave Macmillan, as well as in top American journals
including Theatre Survey, TDR/The Drama Review, and New England
Theatre Journal.
