English | ASIN: B0CHG267MJ | 2023 | 11 hours and 52 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 338 MB
Author: Ben Goldfarb
Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner
Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. In Crossings, environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb travels throughout the United States and around the world to investigate how roads have transformed our planet. A million animals are killed by cars each day in the US alone, but as the new science of road ecology shows, the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill.

Free Download Ylva Grufstedt, "Shaping the Past: Counterfactual History and Game Design Practice in Digital Strategy Games "
English | ISBN: 3110692252 | 2022 | 230 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
This series provides a multidisciplinary framework for scholarly approaches to video games in the humanities. It focuses especially on the dialectics of methodology and object: how do different scholarly fields apply their theories and methods to video games, and how do video games in turn affect these theories and methods? This series seeks to reconnect media-centric Game Studies to the disciplines it had to distance itself from in its foundation, such as literary studies or film studies, in an attempt to use their differences and contact zones in a mutually productive dialogue. It also seeks to present innovative approaches in other fields in the humanities that have yet to consider video games in a systematic way, and give a home to ground-breaking publications that push the boundaries of existing discourses and debates. In this endeavor, the series is committed to a decidedly global scope as it assembles perspectives from different cultural and academic contexts. In short, this series wants to see what the humanities do with video games and what video games do to the humanities, both on an abstract theoretical level and by practical analytic example.

Free Download Catalina Montoya Londoño, "Shaping Peacebuilding in Colombia: International Frames and Spatial Transformation "
English | ISBN: 1529211700 | 2023 | 278 pages | PDF | 19 MB
During the second half of the 20th century, Colombia suffered extreme levels of political violence. This book explores the involvement of the international community in peacebuilding efforts in Colombia since 2016. In particular, it examines how interventions were framed in order to promote and sustain their involvement and questions whether these frames reflected reality within Colombia. The book focuses on key donors, including the US, the EU, Canada, Sweden and the UK, as well as multinational actors, such as the UN and the World Bank, to demonstrate how their framing of local issues for national and international consumption can have real world implications for peacebuilding efforts on the ground.

Free Download Steven Vanderputten, "Reform, Conflict, and the Shaping of Corporate Identities: Collected Studies on Benedictine Monasticism, 1050 – 1150"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 3643904290 | PDF | pages: 318 | 1.9 mb
This book contains ten previously published essays dealing with the development of Benedictine monasticism between c. 1050-1150. Relying on primary sources that originated in communities situated in the Southern Low Countries – one of the densest regions of Benedictine occupation and a crossroads of cultural and political influences – the essays are arranged in three thematic sections. The first looks at the societal background, methodologies, and intended outcomes of ‘Cluniac’ reform around 1100. The second section investigates reactions to reform, both within the monastic sphere and by outsiders. In the third section, the focus is on groups of monks, and how they, their supporters, and their enemies all developed strategies of self-representation and self-positioning in the face of growing competition over landed wealth, patronage, and positions of social privilege.

English | 2018 | ISBN: 3867938458 | EPUB | pages: 138 | 1.2 mb
Religious, cultural and linguistic diversity has always been a reality in Germany. Yet determining what constitutes success in terms of dealing with diversity on a day-to-day basis is a matter often subject to debate. Demonstrating respect for each other while living together in diversity must be cultivated but also involve the active participation of everyone affected. We experience diversity every day in our communities: in our neighborhoods, schools, at work and in our free time. The "Living Diversity – Shaping Society" publication accompanying the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2018 offers insight into how Germany can effectively target living well together in a multicultural society marked by social inclusion and respect for diversity. It analyzes current approaches in Germany, examines good practices found in other countries and recommends actions that can be taken to cultivate a positive experience with diversity. Contributions by distinguished authors such as Armin Nassehi, Doug Saunders and Bart Somers explore the issue from various viewpoints.
