The Power Paradox: A Toolkit for Analyzing Conflict and Extremism
reveals how mainstream views of power restrict the conceptual
insights needed to resolve conflict. Anna Bennett insightfully
explores Michel Foucault's work on power and discourse in order to
advance conceptual and contextual tools for understanding power
dynamics. Through an examination of a range of extremist,
terrorist, and counter-terrorist rhetoric, as well as various
theories of power, Bennett analyzes the widespread problems
associated with assuming that power is only repressive and
competitive. This limited view reinforces - often unwittingly -
divisive dynamics and stubborn polemics, which serve to continue
conflict. By offering a comprehensive and constructive view of
power struggles, The Power Paradox argues that power is a
relational dynamic. Bennett identifies fascinating contradictions
within discourses of power and relational dynamics, acknowledging
the enduring quandary of power struggles: we are all implicated
within them.

The earliest phase of Thai history is an exciting but little
understood period that bridged the gap between protohistory and the
fully developed historical period. Ten international scholars
examine the inception of the Dvaravati period in the fifth century
with a focus on archaeology and consider the art and architecture
of the sixth to tenth centuries. Defining Dvaravati provides an
overview of the art historical characteristics of Dvaravati style;
collates the epigraphic evidence, including previously unpublished
texts; considers the importance of trade and religion in cementing
relationships between early Southeast Asian societies and as
paramount incentives for its expansion and development; and
discusses the end of the period.

A FISHERMAN'S DAUGHTER Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her
family's fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has
fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving
her precious little time to pursue her own dreams. The very last
thing Poppy needs to find tangled in her nets is a dangerously
attractive man with a head wound - who claims he's a duke. AND A
DUKE OUT OF WATER Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he's
having the devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of
that fact. The truth is, someone in Bellehaven Bay wants to kill
him, and he intends to find out who - if he can persuade Poppy to
help him. She's wary of Keane's scheme but can't refuse the
generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he
recovers. It's a business arrangement, she reasons... nothing more.
ARE ABOUT TO MAKE WAVES As Keane and Poppy work together to solve
the puzzle of his attacker, unexpected feelings blossom between
them. But Poppy's past gives her every reason to mistrust someone
like Keane, and when all the facts come to light, she must decide
where her loyalties lie. Torn between the world she's always known
and the one she's always dreamed of; she'll need to trust Keane for
a chance at her fairytale ending
Expert systems represent intelligent systems based on knowledge
modeling, symbolic representation and its storage which allows for
an unconventional method approach of complex applied analysis,
sorting planning, design and diagnosis of problems in different
areas of activity where an algorithmic description cannot be fully
accomplished. Presently, the most intelligent systems from
organizations are expert systems developed in accordance with fast
prototyping methodology. Expert systems are used in a variety of
areas, including, technical, banking, industrial and other
professional areas. This book includes recent advances in expert
systems research.
Governments have introduced policies to widen the participation of
disadvantaged students in higher education. Widening participation
policies are also introduced to ensure that higher education
contributes to social and economic outcomes. This book includes
important insights from 23 leading scholars across 11 countries on
a wide range of topics that focus on government policies,
institutional structures and the social and economic impacts of
widening participation. While widening participation policies and
outcomes in developed countries are more widely documented, the
policies, achievements, and challenges in other countries such as
Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Africa and Palestine are not so
widely disseminated. Therefore, the 'untold stories' of policies
and outcomes of widening participation are a key part of this book.
The chapters are organised according to three overarching themes,
which include national and transnational studies of the history of
widening participation and current policies; inclusive learning and
academic outcomes; and socioeconomic structures, concepts and
theories.
