Migrant protest is attracting growing interest making this book
both topical and leading edge. Arnold conceptualises sovereignty as
a relationship and in doing so opens new ways of thinking about
constituting the people, resistance and the relationship between
the state, the nation and the migrant/non-citizen. The struggles of
the immigrants themselves through strategies of self-harming and
faith-based sanctuary are rarely treated in the context of
immigration politics specifically, and they are rarely the focus of
a single scholarly book (often, they are treated as an isolated
chapter or passing moment in the course of a longer discussion).
Clear, rigorous, and demonstrates a solid acquaintance with a) the
empirical literature on migration politics, and b) the
philosophical/theoretical literature on political agency and
sovereignty. Pushes to make political theory relevant as a field
and illuminates political issues in new ways. Arnold is an
excellent scholar Geographically, the book will appeal to the North
American and Australian market since there are extended case
studies of immigrant activism both countries.

This book examines the role of fermented foods on human gut health
and offers a unique contribution to this rapidly growing area of
study. Fermented foods have been consumed by humans for millennia.
This method of food preservation provided early humans with
beneficial bacteria that re-populated the gut microbiota upon
consumption. However, novel methods of production and conservation
of food have led to severed ties between the food that modern
humans consume and the gut microbiota. As a consequence, there has
been a documented increase in the prevalence of autoimmune diseases
and obesity, which has been correlated to decreased diversity of
gut microbes, while infectious disorders have decreased in the
three past decades. With the intention of providing a thorough
overview of the relationship between fermented foods, nutrition,
and health, the editors have grouped the chapters into three
thematic sections: food and their associated microbes, the oral
microbiome, and the gut microbiome. After an introduction dedicated
to the environmental microbiome, Part I provides an overview of
what is currently known about the microbes associated with
different foods, and compares traditional forms of food preparation
with current industrial techniques in terms of the potential loss
of microbial diversity. The chapters in Part 2 explore the oral
microbiota as a microbial gatekeeper and main contributor to the
gut microbiota. Part 3 introduces beneficial modulators of the gut
microbiome starting with the establishment of a healthy gut
microbiota during infancy, and continuing with the role of
probiotics and prebiotics in health preservation and the imbalances
of the gut microbiota. In the final section the editors offer
concluding remarks and provide a view of the future brought by the
microbiome research revolution.This study is unique in its emphasis
on the convergence of two very relevant fields of research: the
field of studies on Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and fermented foods,
and microbiome research. The relationship between these fields, as
presented by the research in this volume, demonstrates the intimate
connection between fermented foods, the oral and gut microbiota,
and human health. Although research has been done on the impact of
diet on the gut microbiome there are no publications addressing the
restorative role of food as microbe provider to the gut microbiota.
This novel approach makes the edited volume a key resource for
scientific researchers working in this field.
This volume includes the full proceedings from the 1982 Academy of
Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference held in Las Vegas,
Nevada. It provides a variety of quality research in the fields of
marketing theory and practice in areas such as consumer behaviour,
marketing management, marketing education, industrial marketing,
and international marketing, among others. Founded in 1971, the
Academy of Marketing Science is an international organization
dedicated to promoting timely explorations of phenomena related to
the science of marketing in theory, research, and practice. Among
its services to members and the community at large, the Academy
offers conferences, congresses and symposia that attract delegates
from around the world. Presentations from these events are
published in this Proceedings series, which offers a comprehensive
archive of volumes reflecting the evolution of the field. Volumes
deliver cutting-edge research and insights, complimenting the
Academy’s flagship journals, the Journal of the Academy of
Marketing Science (JAMS) and AMS Review. Volumes are edited by
leading scholars and practitioners across a wide range of subject
areas in marketing science.
Conceptual Breakthroughs in the Evolutionary Biology of Aging
continues the innovative Conceptual Breakthroughs series by
providing a comprehensive outline of the major breakthroughs that
built the evolutionary biology of aging as a leading scientific
field. Following the evolutionary study of aging from its humble
origins to the present, the book's chapters treat the field’s
breakthroughs one at a time. Users will find a concise and
accessible analysis of the science of aging viewed through an
evolutionary lens. Building upon widely-cited studies conducted by
author Michael Rose, this book covers 30 subsequent years of growth
and development within the field. The book highlights key
publications for those who are not experts in the field, providing
an important resource for researchers. Given the prevailing
interest in changing the aging process dramatically, it is a
powerful tool for readers who have a vested interest in
understanding its causes and future control measures.

In the Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt famously argued
that the stateless were so rightless, that it was better to be a
criminal who at least had some rights and protections. In this
book, Kathleen R. Arnold examines Arendt's comparison in the
context of post-1996 U.S. criminal and immigration policies,
arguing that the criminal-stateless binary is significant to
contemporary politics and yet flawed. A key distinction made today
is that immigrant detention is not imprisonment because it is a
civil system. In turn, prisoners are still citizens in some
respects but have relatively few rights since the legal
underpinnings of "cruel and unusual" have shifted in recent times.
The two systems - immigrant detention and the prison system - are
also concretely related as they often house both populations and
utilize the same techniques (such as administrative segregation).
Arnold compellingly argues that prisoners are essentially made into
foreigners in these spaces, while immigrants in detention are cast
as outlaws. Examining legal theory, political theory and discussing
specific cases to illustrate her claims, Arendt, Agamben and the
Issue of Hyper-Legality operates on three levels to expose the
degree to which prisoners' rights have been suspended and how
immigrant policy and detention cast foreigners as inherently
criminal. Less talked about, the government in turn expands
sovereign, discretionary power and secrecy at the expense of
openness, transparency and democratic community. This book will be
of interest to scholars and students of contemporary political
theory, philosophy and law, immigration, and incarceration.

As software systems become increasingly large and complex, the need
increases to predict and control the effects of software changes.
This book captures the latest information on the science and art of
determining what software parts affect each other. It is a handy
one-volume source of useful information about software change
impact analysis techniques and technical results. The book frames
the field, focuses attention, and tempers expectations.
The book provides a battery of ideas for doing impact analysis
better. The reader will gain a healthy respect for the strengths
and limitations of impact analysis technology and a solid
background that will provide valuable for years to come. The book
identifies key impact analysis definitions and themes and
illustrates those themes through a collection of representative
papers. It includes reports on software source code dependency
analysis and software traceability analysis and proposes how
results from both areas can more effectively support impact
analysis in software engineering repositories. It also describes
why impact representation and determination techniques are at the
heart of both source dependency analysis and traceability analysis.
The papers provide fundamental information of enduring value and
were selected by how well they illustrate the important themes and
how well they equip the reader with a solid understanding for
tackling impact analysis problems.
Gastrointestinal Oncology is an expanding field with important
medical, scientific, socio-political and ethical challenges. In the
last few years, the discipline has undergone changes in our
knowledge of tumour biology, diagnosis and treatment. The rate of
progress in some gastrointestinal malignancies as oesophageal
adenocarcinoma or malignancies of the rectum is dramatic, in other
malignancies as pancreatic carcinoma or not. It is generally
accepted that the management of these tumours deserves a
multidisciplinary approach. Our current understanding of the
management of these tumours is the specific focus of this two-day
interdisciplinary Postgraduate Course.

In a tense, crowded thirty-three days in the autumn of 1799,
Napoleon Bonaparte organized a coup and made himself dictator of
France. Yet his position was precarious. He knew that France would
accept his rule only if he gained military victories that brought
peace.
James Arnold, in this detailed and compelling account, describes
the extraordinary campaigns that followed.
At Marengo Bonaparte defeated the Austrians and his fellow
general Jean Moreau beat the combined Austrian and Bavarian armies
at Hohenlinden. These twin campaigns proved decisive. Bonaparte's
dictatorship was secure and his enemies across Europe were forced
into a 15-year struggle to overthrow him.
