Ben Campkin, "Remaking London: Decline and Regeneration in Urban Culture "
English | ISBN: 1780763085 | 2013 | 256 pages | PDF | 36 MB
Between the slum clearances of the early twentieth century and debates about the post-Olympic city, the drive to 'regenerate' London has intensified. Yet today, with a focus on increasing land values, regeneration schemes purporting to foster diverse and creative new neighbourhoods typically displace precisely the qualities, activities and communities they claim to support. In Remaking London Ben Campkin provides a lucid and stimulating historical account of urban regeneration, exploring how decline and renewal have been imagined and realised at different scales. Focussing on present-day regeneration areas that have been key to the capital's modern identity, Campkin explores how these places have been stigmatised through identification with material degradation, and spatial and social disorder. Drawing on diverse sources - including journalism, photography, cinema, theatre, architectural design, advertising and television - he illuminates how ideas of decline drive urban change.

James DiEugenio, "Reclaiming Parkland: Tom Hanks, Vincent Bugliosi, and the JFK Assassina"
English | ISBN: 1626365334 | 2013 | 496 pages | MOBI | 1060 KB
Reclaiming Parkland details the failed attempt of Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman-cofounder of the production company Playtone-to make Vincent Bugliosi's mammoth book about the Kennedy assassination, Reclaiming History, into a miniseries. It exposes the questionable origins of Reclaiming History in a dubious mock trial for cable television, in which Bugliosi played the role of an attorney prosecuting Lee Harvey Oswald for murder, and how this formed the basis for the epic tome. Author James DiEugenio details the myriad problems with Bugliosi's book, and explores the cooperation of the mainstream press in concealing these many faults during the publicity campaign for the book and how this lack of scrutiny led Hanks and Goetzman to purchase the film rights. DiEugenio then shows how the film eventually adapted from that book, entitled Parkland, does not even resemble Reclaiming History, though the script for that film displays the same imbalance that Reclaiming History does.

Re-imagining Hate Crime: Transphobia, Visibility and Victimisation by Ben Colliver
English | PDF | 2021 | 229 Pages | ISBN : 3030657132 | 2.2 MB
This book draws upon empirical data to offer a fresh and unique perspective on hate crime victimisation. In challenging dominant theoretical and conceptual perspectives of hate crime, this book adopts the lens of 'visibility' as a way of understanding hate crime victimisation. In adopting this lens, key aspects of victimisation are explored, including the hierarchical nature of hate crime victimisation, that afford visibility to particular types of victimisation, and particular groups of people as 'legitimate' victims.

Rapid Chess Improvement By Michael de la Maza
2002 | 126 Pages | ISBN: 1857442695 | PDF | 17 MB
This is the ideal book for serious adult players who want to improve. It describes a study plan that came about thanks to a re-evaluation of standard chess teaching and includes several unique components aimed at improving deficiencies in the play of adult players. This book is the only one of its kind for the simple reason that it has been written by an author who hugely improved his own rating over a twelve month period by following his own advice. He therefore fully understands the challenges faced by enthusiastic players who are relatively new to the game. This is in sharp contrast to most books aimed at this level which are usually written by very strong players who have long forgotten what it feels like to be starting out in the game.

Quranic Psychology of the Self: A Textbook on Islamic Moral Psychology by Laleh Bakhtiar
2019 | ISBN: 1567446418, 1567446752 | English | 522 pages | PDF(Scanned) | 13 MB
This textbook presents a complete view of Quranic Psychology from the creation of the body to the command to Be to the spirit (ruh) that then enlivens our soul (nafs). It uses psychological terms and arguments related to how a psychologist understands the self (the word nafs used reflexively in the Quran). Quranic Psychology has now found its place as a science separate from, but incorporating, the traditional sciences of Ethics, Medicine, Natural Philosophy and Philosophy, among others. It is the hope that this textbook will be useful to psychotherapists working with Muslim clients as well as Muslims who wish to heal themselves. Whereas in the past Muslim writers have claimed that the Quran refers to three aspects of the soul the nafs al-ammarah, the nafs al-lawwamah and the nafs al-mutma innah, this textbook based on the extensive research into the works of traditional scholars brings forth a fourth Quranic aspect of the soul, the nafs al-mulhamah (the inspired soul that fluctuates). In addition, previous to this, Muslim healers have used literal Quranic terms to describe the Quranic soul (nafs used non-reflexively in the Quran). When these same terms are used in the psychological sense, they not only give another level of meaning to the healing process, but allow the psychologist to understand the Quranic self as the Quran defines it, opening the way for further discussion and research in a systematic way. It also allows the psychologist to compare Quranic psychology with other forms of psychological theory. It is then up to them to use their powers of critical thinking (furqan) to dialogue and engage on equal terms with other psychologists and psychologies. The four major divisions of the soul developed and explained in this textbook through Quranic signs/verses are: The nafs al-ammarah (the animal or animate soul consisting of two parts affect and behavior); the mind (sadr) which is constantly being influenced by the nafs al-ammarah; consciousness (qalb, nafs al-mulhamah, heart ); conscience (fu ad, nafs al-lawwamah); and intellect or reason ( aql, nafs al-mutma innah). The nafs al-ammarah attraction to pleasure and avoidance of pain along with willpower (iradah), free willpower (ikhtiyar), intention (niyyah), sensation and most aspects of perception including sensible imagination are part of our motivational system whereas rational imagination, mind, consciousness, conscience and reason are part of our cognitive system. Quranic Psychology has a goal to prepare us for our return to whence we came to strengthen or return to our fitrat Allah as the monotheist we were created to be through engaging our moral intelligence (MI). We do this, according to Quranic Psychology, by strengthening our nafs al-mutma innah ( aql, reason, intellect, spirit) to dominate over our nafs al-ammarah (affect-behavior) through our reasoning, adhering to our mind (sadr) and nafs al-lawwamah, bringing awareness and consciousness to our nafs al-mulhamah (qalb, heart ) of God-consciousness (taqwa) and the constant Presence of God in our lives.
