This book investigates the emergence of a strand of non-violent anarchism, reassessing in particular the role of geographical thought in modern Japan as both a vehicle of political dissent and a basis fo...

Most of what gets published about war zones is written by a remarkably small group of people. Soldiers, journalists, politicians, public intellectuals: these are the people we turn to in times of crisis.
