Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

This Handbook provides the first in-depth analysis of non-violent extremism across different ideologies and geographic centres a topic overshadowed until now by the political and academic focus on violent and jihadi extremism in the Global North. Whilst acknowledging the potentiality of non-violent extremism as a precursor to terrorism this Handbook argues that non-violent extremism ought to be considered a stand-alone area of study. Focusing on Islamist Buddhist Hindu far-right far-left environmentalist and feminist manifestations the Handbook discusses the ideological foundation of their ‘war on ideas’ against the prevailing socio-political and cultural systems in which they operate and provides an empirical examination of their main claims and perspectives. This is supplemented by a truly global overview of non-violent extremist groups not only in Europe and the United States but also in Africa Asia Oceania and the Middle East. The Handbook thus answers a call to decolonise knowledge that is especially prescient given both the complicity of non-violent extremists with authoritarian states and the dynamic of oppression towards more progressive groups in the Global South. The Handbook will appeal to those studying extremism radicalisation and terrorism. It intersects several relevant disciplines including social movement studies political science criminology Islamic studies and anthropology. | Routledge Handbook of Non-Violent Extremism Groups Perspectives and New Debates

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

How may people of faith respond wisely constructively and courageously to the challenges of a time of terror? How might religious reasons in public debate be a force for reconciliation rather than violence and hatred? In a world in which religious arguments and religious motivations play such a huge public role there is an urgent responsibility for interpreting what is happening and engaging with religious views which are commonly regarded as alien threatening or dangerous. In Apocalypse Now? Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities which include the Gulag the Holocaust 9/11 the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand not at the end of history but in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror which has striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. Moving between two times of terror - the early Centuries of Christianity and today - Forrester asks how religious motivations can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters. Reading the 'signs of the times' to try to understand what is happening in today's age of terror Forrester argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a more constructive and faithful response. We are at a turning point - this is a book which should be read. | Apocalypse Now? Reflections on Faith in a Time of Terror

Elliptic Operators Topology and Asymptotic Methods

Elliptic Operators Topology and Asymptotic Methods

Ten years after publication of the popular first edition of this volume the index theorem continues to stand as a central result of modern mathematics-one of the most important foci for the interaction of topology geometry and analysis. Retaining its concise presentation but offering streamlined analyses and expanded coverage of important examples and applications Elliptic Operators Topology and Asymptotic Methods Second Edition introduces the ideas surrounding the heat equation proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The author builds towards proof of the Lefschetz formula and the full index theorem with four chapters of geometry five chapters of analysis and four chapters of topology. The topics addressed include Hodge theory Weyl's theorem on the distribution of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian the asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel and the index theorem for Dirac-type operators using Getzler's direct method. As a dessert the final two chapters offer discussion of Witten's analytic approach to the Morse inequalities and the L2-index theorem of Atiyah for Galois coverings. The text assumes some background in differential geometry and functional analysis. With the partial differential equation theory developed within the text and the exercises in each chapter Elliptic Operators Topology and Asymptotic Methods becomes the ideal vehicle for self-study or coursework. Mathematicians researchers and physicists working with index theory or supersymmetry will find it a concise but wide-ranging introduction to this important and intriguing field.

With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.
