Book excerpt: Professor George Derwent Thompson (1903 - 1987) of England pioneered the method of reading Greek classical literature in Marxist approaches. His book "Aeschylus and Athens" in 1941 and "Marxism and Poetry" in 1945 received international attention. He was a member of the Communist Party of England and left the party after the Chinese Revolution due to differences of opinion. However, he continued to write various books enriching Marxism. He was close to the people until the very end. The rise of China today is the basis of his predictions. Professor K. Kailasapathy is a student of George Thompson. While studying for his Ph.D., Thomson was the master of ceremonies. Following his style, K. Kailasapathy submitted a study on the heroic poetry of the Tamils under the title ‘Tamil Heroic Poetry’. Oxford University published it in 1968. Comrade KAS was an enthusiastic nurturer of the method of studying traditional literature from a Marxist perspective.Comrade KAS can be said to be like George Thompson of Sri Lanka. They both deal with their confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities. Some within the party have struggled to advance the debate on it. Today their struggle is proving to be the right one. Those who stood in front of them have all but disappeared. The commemorative committee is delighted to announce the release of this memorial book in honor of the late General Secretary of Sri Lanka Communist Party (Left), K.A. Subramaniam, on the first month commemoration of his passing. These are just a few short snippets that commemorate comrade KAS. But these pages show that the deep and meaningful ideas and assessments contained within are not mere lip service or formal phrases usually awarded to a deceased person.

The Central Committee of the Sri Lanka Communist Party (Left) declares, with a sense of inner satisfaction, that Comrade KAS was a worthy Communist Leader who self-effacingly poured all his talents into service for the people. The Party dips its red flag to pay a revolutionary tribute to a selfless Comrade who has passed away. The central Committee and the Party firmly resolve to carry forward, despite all obstacles, the revolutionary legacy left behind by Comrade KAS through his life and guidance and to safeguard the rich experiences garnered on the basis of Marxist-Leninist - Mao Zedong Thought. The Central Committee conveys its sympathies and Condolences to Comrade KAS's wife Valliammai and the children Sathiarajan, Sathiamalar and Satheakeerthy who shared the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Comrade K.A. Subramaniam and made it possible for him to lead, both in word and deed, the life of a Communist militant and leader and thus serve both the Party and the people. CENTRAL COMITTEE Sri Lanka Communist Party (Left) 15/1, Power House Road, Jaffna, Sri Lanka. 17 December 1989.

This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades asbestos was considered an ideal substance and therefore was called 'the mineral of the twentieth century'. Even though the fiber had already proven much earlier to cause various ailments, a real boom began in the 1950s and prospered everywhere in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Swiss asbestos cement company Eternit, investigating the strategy it developed – together with other asbestos industrialists – to prevent this carcinogen from being outlawed until, in 1999, an EU Directive was finally adopted to this end. The book also reviews the struggle of the asbestos workers and their families to gain official recognition of, and compensation for, the harm suffered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TERRAINS OF CONSCIOUSNESS emerges from an Indian-German-Swiss research collaboration. The book makes a case for a phenomenology of globalization that pays attention to locally situated socioeconomic terrains, everyday practices, and cultures of knowledge. This is exemplified in relation to three topics: - the tension between 'terrain' and 'territory' in Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' as a pioneering work of the globalist mentality (chapter 1) - the relationship between established conceptions of feminism and the concrete struggles of women in India since the 19th century (chapter 2) - the exploration of urban space and urban life in writings on India's capital - from Ahmed Ali to Arundhati Roy (chapter 3).

Book excerpt: The archetype of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend', India's political and economic presence in Afghanistan is often viewed as a Machiavellian ploy aimed against Pakistan. The first of its kind, this book interrogates that simplistic yet powerful geopolitical narrative and asks what truly drives India's Afghanistan policy.

Book excerpt: Today, climate-related processes and problems are referred to as Global Change by nearly everyone including scientists, politicians, and economists; citizens worldwide are anxious about the often ob served disorientation of our environment under the influence of man. Better information on the Earth's natural systems and their possible alterations is necessary. The topic itself is so wide that sound scien tific descriptions of it as a whole are rare. For the non-specialist infor mation from relevant fields is not easy to obtain; and often, the pro gnostic models presented are contradictory and even for specialists difficult to evaluate. Therefore, this book on Climate, Earth Processes and Earth History by Richard Huggett fills an important gap. It discusses the great, climate-related areas of the Earth's environment. The atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the sediments as products of weathering and geomorphic processes, the relief as landforms and soils, and the biosphere are thoroughly treated as the prominent sub systems which are greatly affected by climate. These subsystems not only control the visual and internal aspects of our landscapes, but they are themselves especially influenced by climatic changes which can be due to either changes in the natural system or anthropogenic changes. Thus, our landscapes will be subject to significant altera tions, if climatic variations exceed certain thresholds. The plan for the present book by Richard Huggett was originally discussed in regard to the Springer Series on Physical Environment.
