15 Superstitions Our Ancestors Did or Did Not Warn Us About: The Secret History, Myth, and Hidden Origins of Everyday Rituals

Currensial Stratarchy Eruditoria Transmuting Mercatorial Environal

Refugiados

In an era where evidence-based policymaking defines the credibility of governance, Value of Statistical Life in India offers a landmark contribution to the economics of risk, labour welfare, and regulatory design. This ground-breaking volume presents one of the most rigorous empirical estimations of the Value of Statistical Life (VSL) in the Indian context, addressing a critical gap in public policy analytics.Focusing on occupational risks within India's manufacturing sector-particularly in Gujarat- the book systematically examines compensating wage differentials (CWD), insurance mechanisms, and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) frameworks. Through advanced econometric modelling and a global meta-analysis using mixed-effects regression techniques, the authors situate Indian VSL estimates within international standards, aligning domestic policy discourse with practices in developed economies such as the United States.Transcending descriptive analysis, the book offers a robust analytical foundation for cost-benefit evaluation, regulatory impact assessment, environmental risk governance, and labour protection reforms. By advocating the institutional adoption of VSL as a cornerstone of policy appraisal, it provides a transformative framework for integrating economic valuation into safety and health legislation.Scholarly, in depth and strategic in relevance, this volume is indispensable for academics, policymakers, multilateral agencies, and regulatory authorities committed to strengthening risk governance and advancing labour welfare in emerging economies.

Value of Statistical Life in India

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Routledge Studies in Cultural Heritage and International Law

The world has been shocked by the destruction of world cultural heritage sites over the past two decades, as seen in widely disseminated videos depicting events such as the demolition of the Buddhas of Bamiyan and the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra. These acts are perhaps the clearest and most glaring examples of what is meant by the 'Intentional Destruction of the Cultural Heritage of Humankind' (IDCHH).The book explores in detail the remedies against IDCHH available under international law. These remedies are defined as all the lawful responses provided for both by customary law and by the special responsibility regimes created under the many substantive areas of international law. The examination includes UNESCO instruments and UN measures for the maintenance of international peace, mechanisms for the protection of human rights and those for the protection of investments, and international criminal justice outcomes through the decisions of the Permanent Criminal Court. Thus, the book explores avenues for response such as appeals to international courts, peacekeeping operations and referrals to the criminal legislation of States, in addition to reparations. The concept of the Cultural Heritage of Humankind implies that IDCHH harms all States and all peoples and human groupings in the world, not only the State or people on whose territory the cultural property is located. The book identifies the international law avenues for subjects not directly injured by IDCHH to obtain its cessation and reparation. This book is essential reading for students, academics and practitioners exploring international law and the destruction of cultural heritage.

Go to every funeral. The instruction arrived in a small cafe in Newark, New Jersey, delivered by a mother to her college-age daughter with a pointed finger and a tapped table. Six words. No explanation. No qualification. Just a command that contained, compressed into a single sentence, an entire philosophy of human obligation.David Boles carried that instruction for twenty-five years, through the deaths of a neighbor he kissed as a terrified five-year-old, a grandfather he watched die over years of weekend drives across Nebraska, a mother whose preplanned funeral left her survivors with nothing to do, a mentor who saved his life with a single phone call, a friend who died by suicide, and a cat who was his closest writing companion for fifteen years. Each loss tested the instruction. Each loss confirmed it.Go to Every Funeral: How Grief Defines the Living is a hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken.The investigation begins in the body, where neuroscience reveals that grief is a form of learning, a slow revision of the brain's internal map of the world. It moves through the animal kingdom, where elephants stand vigil over their dead and crows hold gatherings that researchers can only call funerals. It traces the history of death in America, from the family parlor to the professional funeral home to the refrigerated trucks of the COVID-19 pandemic. It surveys mourning practices across the globe, from the Torajan highlands of Indonesia to the burning ghats of Varanasi to the jazz funerals of New Orleans, identifying a universal grammar of mourning that every culture shares: communal acknowledgment, physical task, temporal structure, and an ongoing relationship with the dead.The book follows the money, examining how the American funeral industry converts grief into expenditure and how media organizations ration public mourning by race, class, and narrative potential. It confronts the culture of suppression that tells men not to cry, gives employees three days of bereavement leave, and excludes children from the rituals that would teach them how to grieve. It asks what happens when grief is disenfranchised, when the loss of a pet, a country, or a public figure is dismissed because it falls outside the approved hierarchy of things worth mourning.At its center is Howard Stein's instruction to the author after the death of Janna's mother: "Allow her to have her grief." Seven words that articulate the principle every grief suppressant violates. Grief belongs to the griever, and the only question is whether the world will let it be.

How Grief Defines the Living

Go to Every Funeral

The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State is an 1884 philosophical treatise by Friedrich Engels. It is partially based on notes by Karl Marx to Lewis H. Morgan's book Ancient Society (1877). The book is an early historical materialist work and is regarded as one of the first major works on family economics.

The writing of The Origin of the Family began in early April 1884, and was completed on 26 May. Engels began work on the treatise after reading Marx's handwritten synopsis of Lewis H. Morgan's Ancient Society; or, Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, Through Barbarism to Civilization, first published in London in 1877. Engels believed that Marx had intended to create a critical book-length treatment of the ideas suggested by Morgan, and aimed to produce such a manuscript to fulfill his late comrade's wishes

The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State

The story most often commonly told about the Maya involves their spectacular collapse at the height of their civilization in the early ninth century CE. Crops died, disease and malnutrition spread, and scorched earth warfare became common. People lost faith in their governments and moved to the Caribbean coast, the mountains of Guatemala, or further afield. But there is another tale that is equally compelling. One hundred years earlier, a group of kings known as the Snakes created a League and were able to force, cajole, or convince their fellow rulers to work towards common causes. In so doing, they took the first small steps towards something that had never existed in the Maya area: an empire. Blood on the Wind narrates this dramatic episode during the Classic Maya period (250-850 CE). From present-day central Mexico across central America, the League attempted to subdue their enemies and transition to an imperial force. In the heart of the lowlands, they created soaring temples, luxurious palaces, and public spaces that continue to captivate visitors to this region. Despite their achievements, a brutal, now forgotten war ensued, and the imperial experiment failed. Bringing to light the colorful individuals involved and their ambitions and flaws, Mesoamerican expert James L. Fitzsimmons recovers the world of this embryonic empire. Family rivalry, greed, grievances, and blindly clinging to the past meant that future generations would live in an environment where each kingdom made its own political and economic choices--but without the benefit of a stronger union.

Atelier: Ethnographic Inquiry in the Twenty-First Century

In this exquisitely crafted ethnography, Charline Kopf examines how and why railway workers in Senegal and Mali care for a suspended railway. Trains rarely run, yet men continue to attend to the everyday practices that keep the railway alive as a social and political space: they sweep floors, repair wagons, and gather to await the arrival of a new train that might never come. The railway has become an afterplace--a worksite in a post-labor context where infrastructure, no longer fully functional, still organizes memory, politics, and collective life. Generations meet here with different temporal horizons: older workers recall futures once promised through stable employment and national ambition, while younger, precariously employed men confront futures never secured. These tensions raise urgent questions about what remains when work recedes along with the possibilities it once carried. Tracing connections and fractures across Senegal and Mali, the book offers a new lens on the afterlives of transnational infrastructure in Africa and beyond.

Bold Quiet Warrior is an invitation to unlock the leader already in you.

Not through volume or visibility, but through practice-through preparation, responsibility, and care.

Drawing from a life shaped by family legacy, movement work, and leadership inside institutions, Diallo K. Brooks reflects on the quiet disciplines that sustain change over time. This book does not offer formulas or shortcuts. Instead, it explores what leadership asks of us when the spotlight fades: earning voice through preparation, stewarding power without ego, honoring capacity, and building what lasts.

Bold Quiet Warrior speaks to organizers, public servants, institution¿builders, and anyone who feels the pull of responsibility but resists performative leadership. It is for those who understand that leadership is not something bestowed or claimed-it is something already present, waiting to be practiced with intention.

This is not a story about arrival. It is an invitation to alignment. To lead from where you are. To stay when the work is slow.

Leadership does not always announce itself. Sometimes it begins quietly, when you choose to step forward.

Bold Quiet Warrior invites you to unlock that choice.
