Sustaining Development in Small Islands

Sustaining Development in Small Islands

Matthew Louis Bishop; Rachid Bouhia; Sala George Carter; Jack Corbett; Courtney Lindsay; Michelle Scobie; Emily Wilkinson

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
The viability of small island developing states (SIDS) is threatened by three distinct processes – a backlash against globalisation; rising geopolitical competition between powers; and accelerating climate change – which are pulling at the threads binding the liberal international order together. We suggest that this order has been kinder to SIDS than is often acknowledged because its underpinning norms – sovereign equality, non-interference, and right to development – are inherently permissive and thus provide SIDS with choices rather than imperatives. Their leaders should fight for the continuation and enhancement of that order rather than be seduced by alternatives. We provide a rationale for and examples of policies to achieve this, including reforms to the way ODA is measured, debt restructured, climate finance allocated, and global governance organised. These enhancements represent the most plausible pathway for SIDS in a period of significant global upheaval. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Roman Slavery and Roman Material Culture

Roman Slavery and Roman Material Culture

Michele George

University of Toronto Press
2013
sidottu
Replete now with its own scholarly traditions and controversies, Roman slavery as a field of study is no longer limited to the economic sphere, but is recognized as a fundamental social institution with multiple implications for Roman society and culture. The essays in this collection explore how material culture – namely, art, architecture, and inscriptions – can illustrate Roman attitudes towards the institution of slavery and towards slaves themselves in ways that significantly augment conventional textual accounts. Providing the first interdisciplinary approach to the study of Roman slavery, the volume brings together diverse specialists in history, art history, and archaeology. The contributors engage with questions concerning the slave trade, manumission, slave education, containment and movement, and the use of slaves in the Roman army.

Michelangelo: A Biography

Michelangelo: A Biography

George Bull

St. Martin's Griffin
1998
nidottu
Much has been written about the paintings and sculptures of Michelangelo, arguably the greatest artist of the Renaissance. But what about the man? In this revealing look at the Florentine genius, acclaimed author George Bull traces the life and spiritual quest of Michelangelo, drawing a fuller portrait of the man himself. In all his work, Michelangelo impressed his contemporaries as a forceful personality, a divine genius endowed with "terrabilita," or intense emotional power. Often portrayed as a solitary and austere figure, he in fact enjoyed a wide range of friendships. And it is those whom he loved and hated, served or resisted, who are presented here-- from his family and fellow artists to the popes, nobles, and rulers of Europe. George Bull presents the life of Michelangelo in the round, bringing before the reader a towering genius whose versatility and originality are constantly being rediscovered.

Michel and Ti-Jean

Michel and Ti-Jean

George Rideout

Talonbooks
2014
pokkari
In this probing character study, Rideout fashions a hypothetical 1969 meeting in a bar in St. Petersburg, Florida, between Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay and an individual whom he believes to be a truly great writer -- beat generation author Jack Kerouac, whose Francophone mother affectionately called him Ti-Jean. At the time of their meeting, Kerouac is forty-seven years old and only months away from death, destroyed by drink in an attempt to live up to the wild image of the "beatnik" stereotype he coined in his novel On the Road. Michel Tremblay is twenty-seven and his first widely produced play, Les Belles Soeurs, has premiered a year before. As he encounters his writing idol, the younger man must break through the older man's emotional barriers to establish common ground. Ultimately, Kerouac's Quebecois background helps Tremblay understand his work, recognize the role religion takes, and the place women play in his psyche, as stated metaphorically in the various female characters who populate Les Belles Soeurs. Cast of 2 men.

The Work is a collection of eleven short stories that highlight memorable incidents in the life of our fictional protagonist, William King.

The three short stories of Kings early twenties reveal a dedication to literature together with a continued urge to travel. By his middle and late twenties, William King has settled on an academic career in archaeology as glimpsed through an account of events set down in the next two short stories. The final two stories highlight incidents associated with the mounting of archaeological expeditions in foreign lands at a time when William King was in the prime of his academic career.

On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the publication of the book by Desmond Leslie and George Adamski, Flying Saucers Have Landed, independent investigator and researcher Michel Zirger provides an update about what really happened in the afternoon of November 20, 1952 in the Californian desert when George Adamski encountered a "space man" who emerged from a "flying saucer," a scene observed by six witnesses. Michel Zirger reveals here absolutely extraordinary new evidence that tends to authenticate this first extraterrestrial contact. Photos taken that day, recently computer processed, now show clearly the large "mother ship" high in the sky, releasing the small "scout ship" for landing, and, what is even more deeply exciting, show the extraterrestrial man himself, to whom George Adamski would later give the name of "Orthon." A new classic by the author of the amazing book "We Are Here " Visitors Without a Passport that is going to shake greatly the foundations of ufology worldwide, but also our vision of the world. It contains updated and new information and mind-boggling photos in color. A disturbing, historic, must read
