The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World The Arab Period in Armnyahseventh to Eleventh Centuries

The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World The Arab Period in Armnyahseventh to Eleventh Centuries

In this first of a massive three-volume work Seta B. Dadoyan studies the Armenian experience in the medieval Islamic world and takes the reader through hitherto undiscovered paradigmatic cases of interaction with other populations in the region. Being an Armenian Dadoyan argues means having an ethnic ancestry laden with narratives drawn from the vast historic Armenian habitat. Contradictory trends went into the making of Armenian history yet most narratives fail to reflect this rich texture. Linking Armenian-Islamic history is one way of dealing with the problem. Dadoyan's concern is also to outline revolutionary elements in the making of Armenian ideologies and politics. This extensive work captures the multidimensional nature of the Armenian experience in the medieval Islamic world. The author holds that every piece of literature including historical writing is an artifact. It is a composition of many elements arranged in certain forms: order sequence proportion detail intensity etc. The author has composed and arranged the larger subjects and their sub-themes in such a way as to create an open dynamic continuity to Armenian history that is intellectually intriguing aesthetically appealing and close to lived experiences. | The Armenians in the Medieval Islamic World The Arab Period in Armnyahseventh to Eleventh Centuries

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals and graduate the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups. The Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory and Practice is the only scholarly peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American Latino/Latina Asian and Asian Pacific Native American and biracial students and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities. | Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Commonsense in Nuclear Energy

Commonsense in Nuclear Energy

Originally published in 1979 written at a time when the world stood on the brink of (another) energy crisis this book argued that an alternative primary fuel had to be found and that the answer lay in the exploitation of nuclear fission. The book sought to dispel the anxieties of environmentalists by correcting what the authors felt were basic misconceptions about nuclear energy. The book distinguishes carefully between nuclear energy and nuclear explosions as the authors believed that it was the confusion between these two very different things which lies at the root of most opposition to nuclear energy. The Relevant facts concerning nuclear energy are presented in a straightforward way and the case made that nuclear energy can be clean and safe. The book includes a discussion of the storage of nuclear waste and the safety record of the nuclear industry. | Commonsense in Nuclear Energy

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South offers an edited collection on planning in parts of the world which more often than not are unrecognised or unmarked in mainstream planning texts. In doing so its intention is not to fill a ‘gap’ that leaves this ‘mainstream’ unquestioned but to re-theorise planning from a deep understanding of ‘place’ as well as a commitment to recognise the diverse modes of practice that come within it. The chapters thus take the form not of generalised ‘universal’ analyses and prescriptions but instead are critical and located reflections in thinking about how to plan act and intervene in highly complex city regional and national contexts. Chapter authors in this Companion are not all planners or are planners of very different kinds and this diversity ensures a rich variety of insights primarily based on cases to emphasise the complexity of the world in which planning is expected to happen. The book is divided into a framing Introduction followed by five sections: planning and the state; economy and economic actors; new drivers of urban change; landscapes of citizenship; and planning pedagogy. This volume will be of interest to all those wanting to explore the complexities of planning practice and the need for new theories of knowledge from which to draw insight to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

This book studies the reactions by external actors including the European Union to the events unfolding in the Arab world beginning in December 2010. In particular contributors look at external actors' attempts to balance their desire for stability with their normative principles toward human rights and democracy. The book compares the action (and inaction) of the EU with other international and regional players including the United States Russia Turkey and Israel and assesses the response of these actors to the Arabellions’ events analysing changes in their approaches to the Arab region. The contributions to this book answer three questions: (1) How have external actors assessed the ‘Arabellions’ and what role did they see for themselves in this context? (2) Which goals and instruments did external actors pursue toward the MENA region? In particular how did they deal with conflicting goals such as support for human rights and democracy on the one hand and concerns about security and stability on the other? (3) How can we explain the varying responses of external actors to the Arabellions? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration. | Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective
