Pure Strategy
Power and Principle in the Space and Information Age
2005 || Paperback || Everett Dolman || Taylor & Francis
A stimulating new inquiry into the fundamental truth of strategy - its purpose, place, utility, and value. This new study is animated by a startling realization: the concept of strategic victory must be summarily discarded. This is not to say that victory has no place in strategy or strategic planning.

The global horizon / druk 1
expectations of migration in Africa and the Middle East
2012 || Paperback || Knut Graw e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
Imaginations, expectations, and motivations that propel the pursuit of migration
Although contemporary migration in and from Africa can be understood as a continuation of earlier forms of interregional and international migration, current processes of migration seem to have taken on a new quality. This volume argues that one of the main reasons for this is the fact that local worlds are increasingly measured against a set of possibilities whose referents are global, not local. Due to this gl...

This far-reaching experience encouraged the author to reflect about the topic of international adoption.
Why is adoption being treated as a suspicious institution by the same agencies which claim to act only in 'the best interest of the children'?
This book denounces the practi...

Ending the Anthropocene
Essays on Activism in the Age of Collapse
Paperback || Lieven de Cauter || nai010 uitgevers publishers
In this book, activist philosopher and philosophical activist Lieven de Cauter investigates the idea that if we want to avoid collapse, we have to end the Anthropocene – the geological era of the gigantic, devastating impact of our species on planet Earth. It might even be, he argues, that the collapse of our current, growth-maximizing system is the only hope for the biosphere.
Offering case studies on urban activism alongside more general reflections on civic action and social movements, D...
