This is an academic inquiry into how labor power has been dehumanized and commodified around the world through the ages for capital accumulation and industrialization, and colonial and post-colonial economic transformation. The study explores all major episodes of slaveries beginning from the ancient civilizations to the end of Transatlantic Slave Trade in the eighteenth century; the worlds of serfdoms in the context of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Russia; the worlds of feudalisms in the context of Latin America, Japan, China, and India; the worlds of indentured servitudes in the context of the Europeans, the Indians, and the Chinese; the worlds of guestworkers in the contexts of the United States and Western Europe; the worlds of migrant labor programs in the context of the Gulf States; and the contemporary world of neoslavery focusing on human trafficking in both developing and developed countries, and forced labor in global value chains.

Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom By Linda M.G. Zerilli
2005 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0226981347 | PDF | 13 MB
In contemporary feminist theory, the problem of feminine subjectivity persistently appears and reappears as the site that grounds all discussion of feminism. InFeminism and the Abyss of Freedom,Linda M. G. Zerilli argues that the persistence of this subject-centered frame severely limits feminists' capacity to think imaginatively about the central problem of feminist theory and practice: a politics concerned with freedom.Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, Zerilli here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting "women" as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment. She revisits the democratic problem of exclusion from participation in common affairs and elaborates a freedom-centered feminism as the political practice of beginning anew, world-building, and judging.In a series of case studies, Zerilli draws on the political thought of Hannah Arendt to articulate a nonsovereign conception of political freedom and to explore a variety of feminist understandings of freedom in the twentieth century, including ones proposed by Judith Butler, Monique Wittig, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective. In so doing, Zerilli hopes to retrieve what Arendt called feminism's lost treasure: the original and radical claim to political freedom.

This book lays out a framework for understanding connections between home and mobility, and situates this within a multidisciplinary field of social research.

Pietari Kääpä, "Environmental Management of the Media: Policy, Industry, Practice "
English | ISBN: 1138649821 | 2018 | 238 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In recent years the widely held misconception of the media as an 'ephemeral' industry has been challenged by research on the industry's significant material footprint. Despite this material turn, no systematic study of this sector has been conducted in ways that considers the role of the media industries as consumers and users of a range of natural resources.
Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline By Darrell Bricker; John Ibbitson
2019 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1472142950 | EPUB | 3 MB
From the authors of the bestsellingThe Big Shift, a groundbreaking examination of global population decline--a prediction completely at odds with United Nations surveys--and how it will effect all of us in the not-so-distant future.For half a century, statisticians, pundits, and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population is threatening to overwhelm the earth's resources. They are wrong. Exactly the opposite will soon be upon us.Somewhere around 2050, perhaps sooner, the population of the earth will begin to decline, and that decline will never stop. In much of the developed and developing world, decline is already underway. The big news is that the rest of the developing world will soon join in. Throughout history, depopulation was the product of catastrophe: ice ages, plagues, the collapse of civilizations. This time, however, we're thinning ourselves deliberately, by choosing to have fewer babies than we need to replace ourselves.Empty Planetsurveys the traumatic impact of the single most important event in modern history: manufactured infertility. The authors have travelled to six continents--Canberra to Sao Paolo; Seoul to Nairobi; Brussels to Delhi to Beijing--interviewing both leading experts and families who are living the reality of a shrinking planet. Some believe that fewer people will be an unmixed blessing. They're wrong. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia: aging societies, stagnant economies, crippling demands on government services with too few workers available to care for all the old, sick people in their midst. Not all the news is bad: fewer workers will command higher wages; jobs will prompt innovation; the atmosphere will improve, the risk of famine will wane; and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead.Empty Planetwill show the world its future, a future that we can no longer prevent, but one we can shape, if we choose.
Iqbal Husain, "Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: Design Fundamentals"
English | ISBN: 0849314666 | 2003 | 288 pages | PDF | 4 MB
With advances driven by pressure from governments, environmental activists, and its associated industries, the subject of electric and hybrid vehicles is becoming increasingly important. Trends clearly suggest that we must educate the engineers of today and tomorrow in the technical details of these vehicles. While there are many books that provide narrative descriptions of electric and hybrid vehicle components, none cover the technical aspects from a mathematically derived, design point of view, and none serve well as a textbook.
