The blood-soaked true story of cobalt, the blue mineral powering the green revolution

Niarchos Nicolas: The Elements of Power

The Elements of Power

A Story of War, Breakthrough Technology and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

A curious exploration of mortality, alienation, boredom, surveillance and how we regard ourselves among the animals.Animal Stories&nbsp;begins with Kate Zambreno's visit to the monkey house at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where one stark tree 'seems to be the stage design for a simian production of Waiting for Godot'. But who are the players and who is the audience, and can they recognise each other?What follows is a series of reports from the deep strangeness of the zoo, a space that is 'more often than not deeply sad, an odd choice for regular pilgrimages of fun'. Amid these excursions with their young children, Zambreno turns to Garry Winogrand's photographs and John Berger's writings on animals, reshaping the spectator as the subject to decipher our complex 'zoo feelings' - what we project, and what we refuse to see. In 'My Kafka System', which dovetails with these zoo studies, Zambreno thinks through the notebooks and animal stories of a writer known for playing at the threshold between species, continuing their investigation into the false divide between human and animal.In writing that is inquisitive and inventive, Zambreno renders visible the enclosures we construct and those we occupy ourselves.

Tales from the Ukrainian East

Life in Spite of Everything

This is the first encyclopedia devoted exclusively to medieval women’s writing&nbsp;globally. Focusing on the thousand-year period between 500-1500, this comprehensive reference work addresses a long-standing gap in scholarship on women writers from this period. It challenges current understandings of the literary tradition of women by incorporating early writers and texts that remain marginal and by expanding definitions of textual composition to include more collaborative&nbsp;and contextual&nbsp;activities.&nbsp;This encyclopedia also presents women in context of the global Middle Ages.&nbsp;Entries extend beyond works written in England, Scotland, Ireland,&nbsp;and Wales to include works by women from Europe, Africa,&nbsp;and Asia. By locating medieval women’s writing within its cultural, social, religious,&nbsp;and political contexts,&nbsp;The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Medieval Women’s Writing&nbsp;in the Global Middle Ages&nbsp;will be an ideal entry point for students and researchers coming into the field, and a valuable resource for established scholars.

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Medieval Women's Writing in the Global Middle Ages

Africa's Global Engagement: Perspectives from Emerging Countries

This volume brings together a number of scholars globally - from Africa and Asia to the Americas and Europe - to examine Africa’s global engagements. It approaches its subject matter theoretically and conceptually as well as empirically asking deeper questions like what is the ideal unit for cooperation and engagement? Is it the state or can one go beyond the state or possibly below the African state and internationalize given the context of the failed African state? Whilst focused very much on the contemporary nature and forms of engagement, the volume recognizes the enduring historical, and especially colonial, legacy on the contemporary African state and how it continues to shape patterns of regional and international cooperation. The book covers its subject matter in two thematic manners. First, it covers the “who” of engagement – Africa-European Relations, Africa-India relations, Africa’s relations with China and Africa’s relations with the Global South. Second, the volume explores the “what” of cooperation. This includes: agriculture and climate change, the digital revolution, energy resources, security considerations and trade. Whilst theoretically anchored, the volume seeks to also examine the implications of the empirical study for policy makers.

Algae in Environmental and Sustainable Practices

Mine Tailings: Fundamental and Engineering Aspects of Colloidal/Fine Mine Wastes offers an in-depth examination of mine waste and related issues such as storage, safety, environmental impact, water management, and sustainability. The book begins with a review of regulations and global standards for tailings management that is followed by an analysis of common types of tailings storage facilities. The book delves into the behavior of tailings materials, including particle interactions, dispersion/aggregation, and the rheology of mineral suspensions. It covers soil mechanics and toxic substance treatment, as well as managing the closure and safety of mine waste management facilities. Additionally, it addresses the environmental, social, and governance factors essential for sustainable mining operations, making it a valuable resource for those concerned with mine waste management. This comprehensive text is crucial for researchers and engineers aiming to understand and mitigate the impacts of mine waste.

Fundamental and Engineering Aspects of Colloidal/Fine Mine Wastes

Mine Tailings

In this captivating account of two of the most corrupt and blood-soaked chapters in Chicago law enforcement history, award-winning lawyer and author of The Torture Machine Flint Taylor draws on his vast experience to guide readers through the sordid world of prosecutorial misconduct and police violence 
 
This compelling follow-up to his exposé of systemic police torture within the CPD looks at the roles of Cook County prosecutors and Democratic machine politicians in covering up both those widespread abuses, and the political assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. This story begins with a focus on then rising political star Edward V. Hanrahan, who, in his position as state's attorney, authorized the notorious police raid on Hampton's apartment and then vociferously orchestrated a cover-up that took more than a decade to completely unravel. Taylor shows how Hanrahan's racist political strategy would ultimately lead to his own political downfall following the efforts of a Black-led movement. 
 
Taylor traces the ways that Hanrahan's legacy was continued and brought to bear on the case of Jackie Wilson, a victim of police torture wrongfully incarcerated for thirty-six years, thanks in large part to the same style of racist prosecutorial misconduct. Drawing on unique insights gained from his position as one of the leading lawyers in opposition, Taylor deftly guides readers through the numerous twists and turns of Wilson's forty-year effort that not only won an innocent man his freedom but also resulted in the criminal indictment of a Cook County Assistant State's Attorney who played an important role in this shameful history. 
 
Leading readers through this saga, Taylor asks whether there can be such a thing as effective progressive prosecutors dedicated to fair and equal justice in such an inherently unjust and systemically racist legal system.
