Educations in Ethnic Violence - Matthew Lange - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Matthew Lange explores education's impact on ethnic violence, highlighting the role that social context plays. Rather than deterring violence, Lange finds that education commonly contributes to aggression. He employs a cross-national statistical analysis with case studies of Sri Lanka, Cyprus, the Palestinian territories, India, sub-Saharan Africa, Canada and Germany.

Excommunication for Debt in Late Medieval France - Tyler Lange - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Late medieval church courts frequently excommunicated debtors at the request of their creditors. Tyler Lange analyzes over 11,000 excommunications between 1380 and 1530 in order to explore the forms, rhythms, and cultural significance of the practice. Three case studies demonstrate how excommunication for debt facilitated minor transactions in an age of scarce small-denomination coinage and how interest-free loans and sales credits could be viewed as encouraging the relations of charitable exchange that were supposed to exist between members of Christ''s body. Lange also demonstrates how from 1500 or so believers gradually turned away from the practice and towards secular courts, at the same time as they retained the moralized, economically irrational conception of indebtedness we have yet to shake. The demand-driven rise and fall of excommunication for debt reveals how believers began to reshape the institutional Church well before Martin Luther posted his theses.

Paradise and Hell in Islamic Traditions - Christian Lange - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Muslim afterworld, with its imagery rich in sensual promises, has shaped Western perceptions of Islam for centuries. However, to date, no single study has done justice to the full spectrum of traditions of thinking about the topic in Islamic history. The Muslim hell, in particular, remains a little studied subject. This book, which is based on a wide array of carefully selected Arabic and Persian texts, covers not only the theological and exegetical but also the philosophical, mystical, topographical, architectural and ritual aspects of the Muslim belief in paradise and hell, in both the Sunni and the Shiʿi world. By examining a broad range of sources related to the afterlife, Christian Lange shows that Muslim religious literature, against transcendentalist assumptions to the contrary, often pictures the boundary between this world and the otherworld as being remarkably thin, or even permeable.

Menacing Tides - Erik De Lange - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Over the course of the nineteenth century, European states worked together to install a new order of collective security, legitimising the repression of piracy. Menacing Tides demonstrates how this European cooperation against shared threats remade the Mediterranean and unleashed a new form of collaborative imperialism.

Implementing EU Pollution Control - Bettina Lange - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Through a detailed analysis this book examines the role of law in European Union integration processes through the implementation of the EU Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control at European Level and in the UK and Germany. The book questions traditional conceptions which perceive law as the ''formal law in the books'', as instrumental and as relatively autonomous in relation to its social contexts. The book also discusses in depth how the key legal obligation on the Directive, to employ ''the best available techniques'', is actually implemented. This research locates the analysis of the implementation of the IPPC Directive in the wider context of current, cutting-edge political science and sociology of law debates about the role of law in EU integration processes, the nature of EU law, new modes of governance and the significance of ''law in action'' for understanding legal process.

What is a Law of Nature? - D. M. Armstrong - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1985, D. M. Armstrong''s original work on what laws of nature are has continued to be influential in the areas of metaphysics and philosophy of science. Presenting a definitive attack on the sceptical Humean view, that laws are no more than a regularity of coincidence between stances of properties, Armstrong establishes his own theory and defends it concisely and systematically against objections. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Marc Lange, illuminating its continuing importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this influential work is available for a new generation of readers.
