Santiniketan-Sriniketan in India, Dartington Hall in England,
Atarashiki Mura in Japan, the Institute for the Harmonious
Development of Man in France, the Bruderhof in Germany and Trabuco
College in America: six experimental communities established in the
aftermath of the First World War, each aiming to change the world.
Anna Neima's The Utopians is an absorbing and vivid account of
these collectives and their charismatic leaders and reveals them to
be full of eccentric characters, outlandish lifestyles and
unchecked idealism. Dismissed and even mocked in their time, yet, a
century later, their influence still resonates in progressive
education, environmentalism, medical research and mindfulness
training. Without such inspirational experiments in how to live,
post-war society would have been a poorer place. 'Thanks to Neima's
rigorous research, each chapter offers something new.' - Spectator
'Neima ranges with impressive confidence across the world'. -
Literary Review
The Utopians is the remarkable story of six experimental communities –
Santiniketan-Sriniketan in India, Dartington Hall in England,
Atarashiki-mura in Japan, the Institute for the Harmonious Development
of Man in France, the Bruderhof in Germany and Trabuco College in
America – that sprang up in the aftermath of the First World War.
Each was led by charismatic figures who dreamed of a new way of living.
Rabindranath Tagore, Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst, Mushanokoji
Saneatsu, G. I. Gurdjieff, Eberhard and Emmy Arnold and Gerald Heard
all struggled to turn ambitious ideals into reality. They – and their
fellow communards – left their jobs, their homes and their social
circles. They faced mockery and persecution, penury, hunger and
discomfort, and their own doubts about whether their efforts to change
society would ever make a difference.
Anna Neima’s absorbing and vivid account of these collectives, from
creation to collapse, reveals them to be full of eccentric characters,
outlandish lifestyles and unchecked idealism. They were dramatic,
fractious places where high ideals collided with the need to feed the
chickens, clean the toilets, bring up squabbling children and grow the
grain for the daily bread.
These communities were small in scale and dismissed in their time. Yet,
a century later, their influence still resonates in realms as disparate
as progressive education, environmentalism, medical research and
mindfulness training. They provided, and continue to provide, a rich
store of inspiration for those who aspire to improve the world. Without
them, the post-war world would have been a poorer place.
Encyclopedia of Infection and Immunity, Four Volume Set provides
new insights into the interactions between bacteria, fungi,
parasites and their hosts. Specific areas of interest include host
cellular and immune response to microbes, molecular mechanisms of
action of beneficial microbes or host-associated microbial
communities, microbial pathogenesis, virulence factors,
experimental models of infection, host resistance or
susceptibility, and the generation of innate and adaptive immune
responses. Comprised of over 200 chapters written and edited by
leading experts in the field, this book will serve as a key
resource for students, researchers, academics and industry
practitioners in the fields of microbiology, immunology, and
infectious diseases. More than 100 years after Robert Koch and
Louis Pasteur established the microbial etiology of communicable
diseases, the field of microbiology is experiencing a second period
of rapid growth and expansion, driven by the realization that
changes in host-associated microbial communities might be at the
root of a broad spectrum of noncommunicable human diseases. These
advances follow on the heels of recent progress in high-throughput
sequencing technology, which has provided a wealth of information
on the human microbiome and its physiological potential.

Lex Petrolea and International Investment Law: Law and Practice in
the Persian Gulf offers readers a detailed analysis of
jurisprudence on the settlement of upstream petroleum disputes
between host states in the Persian Gulf and foreign investors. Dr
Nima Mersadi Tabari considers the historical, political, and
socio-economic roots of the existing frameworks and levels of
protection offered to foreign investors. With particular focus on
petroleum-related disputes, he initially delivers a comprehensive
survey of the jurisprudence of international investment law and
investment treaty arbitration. Following on from this, in three
dedicated chapters, the author provides in-depth analysis of the
legal regimes governing the matter in the major producers of the
region: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran. A key resource for all
professionals working on legal issues arising from foreign direct
investments in natural resources, this book draws a detailed
picture of the legal regime governing the upstream sector in the
most important geographical region for the international oil and
gas sector.
This book addresses women's rights to work and motherhood in Libya
from a legal and international human rights perspective. In an
attempt to solve the problem posed by the perception that there is
an unsolvable conflict between the right of women to work and their
right to motherhood, the author considers how these two sets of
rights, as protected under international human rights law, can and
should be recognised and promoted within the Libyan legal system.
Including first-hand accounts of experiences of Libyan women, the
study voices their struggle for their rights as guaranteed by
domestic law, international conventions and Islam. Providing a rare
insight into a region striving to find its new identity, the author
assesses the adequacy of existing Libyan laws and, where warranted,
offers proposals for legislative amendments to Libyan policy makers
and its new Parliament at such a crucial time in the nation's
history.
Described here is Feynman's path integral approach to quantum
mechanics and quantum field theory from a functional integral point
of view. Therein lies the main focus of Euclidean field theory. The
notion of Gaussian measure and the construction of the Wiener
measure are covered. As well, the notion of classical mechanics and
the Schrödinger picture of quantum mechanics are recalled. There,
the equivalence to the path integral formalism is shown by deriving
the quantum mechanical propagator from it. Additionally, an
introduction to elements of constructive quantum field theory is
provided for readers.Â
The contributed volume "Multidisciplinarity and Interdisciplinarity
in Health" is a health-centered volume of the Integrated Science
Book series. Lack of confidence, lack of expertise, complexities of
healthcare, the confusing nature of healthcare environments, and
lack of organization and standardization can become obstacles to
successful communication. This volume establishes how extensive is
the interface between formal sciences and medical sciences on
health-related issues. The book provides an overview of the value
of the integration of formal, biological, and medical sciences and
related products, i.e., health informatics and biomedical
engineering, to frame a holistic approach to health systems,
healthcare, medical practice, drug discovery, and medical device
design. The book also focuses on innovative solutions to the most
critical issues of different health crisis, including obesity,
infectious outbreaks, and cancer that can be found by using an
integrative approach. It also contains the fascinating crossroads
between medical sciences, physics, and mind that is discussed from
multiple perspectives on cognition, neuroscience, and psychiatry.
These multidisciplinary considerations will expand the concepts of
creativity, leadership, aesthetics, empathy and mental
health. Â
Cancer is a major public health concern and one of the leading
causes of death. There is no simple solution for this complex
disease, therefore interdisciplinary approaches might help to find
solutions to many unanswered questions and challenges about cancer.
The rapid flow of interdisciplinary research in cancer during
recent years has increased our understanding of the nature of
cancers. Such interdisciplinary approaches could be helpful for
both the diagnosis and the development of more effective
therapeutic strategies. The “Interdisciplinary Cancer Researchâ€
series publishes comprehensive volumes on different cancers and
presents the most updated and peer-reviewed articles on human
cancers. Over the past decade, increased cancer research has
greatly improved our understanding of the nature of cancerous cells
which has led to the development of more effective therapeutic
strategies to treat cancers. This interdisciplinary series is of
special value to researchers and practitioners working on cell
biology, immunology, hematology, biochemistry, genetics, oncology
and related fields. This is the main concept of Cancer Immunology
Project (CIP), which is a part of Universal Scientific Education
and Research Network (USERN).
