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.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. The power of borders
emerges not only from their institutional and legal nature but also
from their symbolic and identity-forming significance. This
innovative Research Agenda uncovers links between different levels
of border-making processes, or bordering, from the political to the
cognitive, and connects everyday processes and experiences of
border-making to the wider social world. Grounded in their original
research, contributors offer a variety of discussions on future
directions for border studies, including two areas which may prove
particularly fruitful; firstly, the question of the broader
political salience of borders and secondly, the ways in which the
border studies paradigm increasingly connects ontological and
ethical questions to processes of border-making. Taken together,
these address the question of how everyday bordering practices and
discourses can be productively linked to different aspects of
social relations. This timely book will be an invigorating read for
those studying borders across a wide range of disciplines including
human geography, political science, sociology, anthropology,
history, international law as well as the humanities, notably art,
media studies and philosophy.

Matter and Memory is a book of cognitive philosophy by Henri
Bergson which discusses the classic problem of how the human mind
and its memories are related to the spirit. Bergson uses the
phenomena of memory to construct arguments in favor of the spirit's
existence. The various types of memory, and how they are related to
the physical world, are discussed. Bergson analyses how memories
are formed, what bearing they have on the world, and how they
ultimately come to constitute their possessor's innate spirit. This
book was originally written by Bergson in response to an essay by
Th odule Ribot, who held that all memory could be traced back to
the brain's nervous system. Thus, the essence of human memory could
be reduced to mere matter, rather than containing a higher,
spiritual element. Bergson fervently disagreed with this opinion,
and strove to write this thesis as a counter to the notion that the
spirit can be reduced to only molecular activity.
