The Globular Star Clusters of the Andromeda Galaxy
This book presents a brief compilation of results from nearly a century of research on the globular star clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It explores the techniques and limitations of the observations, the successes and challenges of the models, and the paradigm for the formation of M31 that has gradually emerged. These results will eventually be superseded by new data, better analysis techniques, and more complex models. However, the emphasis of this book is on the techniques, thought processes, and connections with other studies.

«Харбинская» операция НКВД СССР 1937–1938 гг. Механизмы, целевые группы и масштабы репрессий
Монография посвящена «харбинской» операции, проводимой органами НКВД в рамках так называемых национальных репрессивных кампаний периода Большого террора. Карательная акция реализовывалась на основании приказа НКВД СССР № 00593 от 20 сентября 1937 г., подписанного наркомом внутренних дел Н. И. Ежовым. Целевыми группами должны были стать бывшие служащие Китайско-Восточной железной дороги (КВЖД) и реэмигранты из Китая, однако в процессе исполнения оперативного приказа под преследование попали китайцы, корейцы, уйгуры и др., которым инкриминировали японский шпионаж. «Харбинская» операция стала третьей по численности жертв после «польской» и «немецкой», около 50 тыс. человек прошли по приказу № 00593. Исследование опирается на широкий круг источников, прежде всего на делопроизводственную документацию НКВД СССР. Подобного рода источники до настоящего времени хранятся в ведомственных архивах. Помимо российских архивных фондов, в работе были задействованы документы архивов Украины, Грузии, Армении, Казахстана. На основании анализа источниковой базы определяются механизмы проведения карательной акции по приказу № 00593, целевые группы «харбинской» операции и масштабы репрессий.
Minority Women and Western Media
Minority Women and Western Media: Challenging Representations and Articulating New Voices presents research examining media portrayals of women from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. It provides qualitative and quantitative findings of how women are stereotyped and misrepresented not only because of their gender but also their race, religion, ability, physical attributes, and political status. Whilst their voices are frequently excluded, marginalized and misrepresented, the chapters in this volume show how minority women are creating and articulating new discourses and challenging assumptions and expectations about themselves. This book provides insights into how women are represented in different media, including newspapers, television shows, films, and online platforms. Scholars of media studies, women’s studies, and communication will find this book particularly useful.

History Of Particle Theory: Between Darwin And Shakespeare
History of Particle Theory fills an important gap existing in the literature by discussing the impressive progress in understanding the elementary particles out of which all everyday objects are made. Most of this progress has happened in the last seventy years after the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) was perfected as an extremely accurate description of electromagnetic interactions. This astonishing sequence of discoveries was made hand in hand between theory and experiment. This book concentrates only on theory where giant steps were made by a series of exceptionally creative physicists, and this is portrayed as an essential part of the broader spectrum of human knowledge and culture, which is constantly being similarly extended by the creative individuals such as the two mentioned in the subtitle, Between Darwin and Shakespeare, who both significantly changed Western Civilization by ideas in Biology and in English Literature respectively.In the last forty years, the standard model has been confirmed again and again as the correct description of elementary particles up to energies of a thousand times the proton mass. In the discussion of particle theory and theoretical physics in general, the book starts from well over two thousand years ago, going back to the ancient Greeks such as Democritus and Archimedes, until the 17th century, when the extraordinary intellect of Newton changed everything by demonstrating that not only objects in the laboratory but also heavenly bodies are governed by mathematical equations. There followed what can be called Darwinian evolution in theoretical physics, survival of the fittest theories, by loose analogy with the origin of biological species.The present standard model of particle theory surely cannot be the final word because it contains far too many free parameters. The book contains a penultimate chapter discussing a number of such open problems which exist in particle theory. There is then a closing chapter, not related to the rest of the book, providing a series of quotations written in the 16th and 17th centuries by Shakespeare and here applied to particle theory. The inclusion of this is based on our premise that particle theory is just one out of several opportunities for exceptional human creativity.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Preface</li><li>Acknowledgements</li><li>Prologue</li><li>Ancient Greeks</li><li>God's Plan</li><li>Renaissance</li><li>Newton's Gravity</li><li>Darwinian Evolution</li><li>Particle Theory</li><li>Order from Chaos</li><li>Electroweak Unification</li><li>Open Questions</li><li>Shakespeare</li><li>Index</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> General public interested in physics and/or history of science.Physics;Particle Theory;History of Science;Quantum Electrodynamics;QED;Standard Model;Quarks;Leptons;Gluons;Neutrinos;Strong Nuclear Interaction;Weak Nuclear Interaction;Electromagnetism;Higgs Boson;Symmetry Breaking;Atomism;Quantum Mechanics;Quantum Field Theory0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Written by experts of particle theory</li><li>Easy to read</li></ul>
The Multilingual Adolescent Experience
This book contributes to our understanding of how older learners negotiate family internal and family external socialisation processes and thereby how parents’ ideologies and practices, peer socialisation, and language status or societal demands come together in adolescents’ lives. It integrates the sociohistorical context and adolescents’ attitudes with the parents’ role. Through the use of ‘small stories’ and ethnographic observation this book explores the social and cultural worlds of Polish immigrant adolescents in Ireland, the ways they seek membership and belonging in their communities of practice, and the ways in which they develop sociohistorical understandings across the languages and cultures they are part of. It sheds light on schooling and family communities and the role they play in the socialization processes of immigrant children.
Stay Woke
The essential guide to understanding how racism works and how racial inequality shapes black lives, ultimately offering a road-map for resistance for racial justice advocates and antiracists When #BlackLivesMatter went viral in 2013, it shed a light on the urgent, daily struggles of black Americans to combat racial injustice. The message resonated with millions across the country. Yet many of our political, social, and economic institutions are still embedded with racist policies and practices that devalue black lives. Stay Woke directly addresses these stark injustices and builds on the lessons of racial inequality and intersectionality the Black Lives Matter movement has challenged its fellow citizens to learn.In this essential primer, Tehama Lopez Bunyasi and Candis Watts Smith inspire readers to address the pressing issues of racial inequality, and provide a basic toolkit that will equip readers to become knowledgeable participants in public debate, activism, and politics. This book offers a clear vision of a racially just society, and shows just how far we still need to go to achieve this reality. From activists to students to the average citizen, Stay Woke empowers all readers to work toward a better future for black Americans.
