Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of mutually exclusive nation-states, international migration constitutes a fundamental anomaly. No wonder that such states have been inclined to select migrants according to their origins. The result is ethnic migration. But Christian Joppke shows that after World War II there has been a trend away from ethnic selectivity and toward non-discriminatory immigration policies across Western states. Indeed, he depicts the modern state in the crossfire of particularistic and universalistic principles and commitments, with universalism gradually winning the upper hand. Thus, the policies that regulate the boundaries of states can no longer invoke the particularisms that constitute these boundaries and the collectivities residing within them. Joppke presents detailed case studies of the United States, Australia, Western Europe, and Israel. His book will be of interest to a broad audience of sociologists, political scientists, historians, legal scholars, and area specialists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the threshold candidates of immigrant background need to overcome to run for legislative office. Understanding whether political parties are able to adapt their selection criteria helps to assess their ability to respond to the underrepresentation of citizens of immigrant origin in parliament. Although Germany’s ethnic diversity is on a steady rise, citizens of immigrant origin remain descriptively underrepresented. Despite the pivotal role the intra-party candidate selection plays in shaping who runs for election, the question of how candidates of immigrant background fare in political parties’ candidate selection in comparison to native-born candidates remained a blind spot of research. Therefore, the author presents in-depth empirical evidence on the selection of candidates of immigrant background in German political parties. The book addresses scholars of political science interested in electoral studies as well as policy-makers and party officials interested in a balanced representation of their political representatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinship, religion, and economy were not "natural" to humans, nor to species of apes that had to survive on the African savanna. Society from its very beginnings involved an uneasy necessity that often stood in conflict with humans' ape ancestry; these tensions only grew along with later, more complex-eventually colossal-sociocultural systems. The ape in us was not extinguished, nor obviated, by culture; indeed, our ancestry continues to place pressures on individuals and their sociocultural creations. Not just an exercise in history, this pathbreaking book dispels many myths about the beginning of society to gain new understandings of the many pressures on societies today.

Book excerpt: "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" is a seminal work written by Charles Darwin. First published in 1859, this book represents a landmark in the field of biology and is considered one of the most important scientific works ever written. In "On the Origin of Species," Charles Darwin presents his theory of evolution by natural selection. The central idea is that species evolve over time through the differential survival and reproduction of organisms with advantageous traits. Darwin provides a wealth of evidence from various scientific disciplines, including paleontology, embryology, and biogeography, to support his theory. The publication of this book had profound implications for the understanding of the diversity of life on Earth and challenged prevailing scientific and religious views at the time. Darwin's work laid the foundation for modern evolutionary biology and continues to influence scientific thought to this day.
