Book Synopsis Colonization of the Inner Planet by : Adrian Scribano
Download or read book Colonization of the Inner Planet written by Adrian Scribano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the conquest, predation and management of human bodies and emotions by the growing capitalist digital community. It seeks to understand the debate between various forms of the individual, subject, actor, and agent to emerge a social theory vision for the 21st century. The book moves beyond the colonization of the physical world to examine the process of colonization of humans. It focuses on the communication humans have with the world to understand how this impacts their sensibilities. This communication is influenced by technological innovations that enable a process of systematic colonization of human beings as bodies/emotions. This book explores a social theory which will allow us to understand this redefinition of the individual. This enables us to uncover connections between the colonization of the ‘inner planet’ that is the human society, and the dialectic of the person and the politics of their sensibilities. This is explored through the tensions that arise between the forms a person assumes in unequal and diverse cultural contexts and the emotions behind those cultural differences. The book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students of sociology, philosophy and anthropology, as well as psychologists, organizational specialists, linguists, ethnographers, historians, political scientists, administrators and professionals affiliated with NGOs.

Book Synopsis Revisiting Social Theory by : D.V. Kumar
Download or read book Revisiting Social Theory written by D.V. Kumar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revisits social theory with a view to highlighting certain essential features of ‘good’ social theory: its ability to raise certain questions, its explanatory power, its critical and reflexive interrogation of concepts, its search for objectivity, its concern to make sense of empirical data and its aim of projecting some degree of generality and abstraction. With particular attention to issues of nationalism, democracy, civil society, state, feminism, neoliberalism, minority rights, environment and North-East Indian society, it considers whether new and more relevant theoretical questions need to be asked. It will therefore appeal to scholars of social theory and political sociology with interests in new approaches to social theory and the development of local or ‘indigenous’ social thought.

Book excerpt: What happens after we reach Mars? It is not a question of if people will live on Mars, but when. So, this book isn't about Mars: it's about what comes next. Space Travel is the new frontier of commercial and public innovation. There is a vast universe yet to be explored and only a handful of people working to make sure the trip is successful. Every day a study published by NASA, European Space Agency or The Planetary Society gives us a taste of what lies just beyond the horizon in space. After Mars is a first-hand look at how many scientists, engineers, and artists are reimagining the future of space travel. Specifically, the book focuses on where humanity will likely colonize, and the research and technology needed to get us there. You could even think of it as a glorified real-estate advertisement. In After Mars, you will learn: * Why humans haven't colonized anything...yet * How space travel is poised to revolutionize in the coming decades * Why we have to think beyond Mars, and take a look at what's next Whether your goal is to be one of the first people to live off of Earth, or you are simply curious about the possibilities of life off the rock, After Mars will give you a glimpse of our not too distant future.

Download or read book Beyond Earth written by Charles Wohlforth and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos—are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure, but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel—realities that have hampered NASA's efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, the authors offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan—a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy—offers the most realistic, and thrilling, prospect of life without support from Earth.
Book Synopsis The Conquest of Space by : Vasil Teigens
Download or read book The Conquest of Space written by Vasil Teigens and published by Cambridge Stanford Books. This book was released on with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although its roots lie in early rocket technologies and the international tensions that followed World War II, the space race began after the Soviet launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. The space race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the United States during the Cold War. Modern space exploration is reaching unbelievable areas. Mars is the focal point of space exploration. In the long term, there are tentative plans for manned orbital and landing missions to the Moon and Mars, establishing scientific outposts that will then give way to permanent and self-sufficient settlements. Additional exploration will potentially involve expeditions and settlements on other planets and their moons, as well as the establishment of mining and fueling outposts, particularly in the asteroid belt. Physical exploration outside the solar system will be robotic in the foreseeable future.

Book Synopsis Intersectional Colonialities by : Robel Afeworki Abay
Download or read book Intersectional Colonialities written by Robel Afeworki Abay and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a rich synthesis of empirical research and theoretical engagements with questions of disability across different practices of colonialism as historically defined – post/de/anti/settler colonialism. It synthesises, critiques, and expands the boundaries of existing disability research which has been undertaken within different colonial contexts through the rich examination of recent empirical work mapping across disability and its intersectional colonialities. Filling an existing gap within the international literature through embedding the importance of grounding these within scholarly debates of colonialism, it empirically demonstrates the significance of disability for the broader scholarly fields of postcolonial, decolonial, and intersectional theories. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, critical studies, sociology of race and ethic relations, intersectionality, postcolonial and decolonial studies, and human geography.
Book Synopsis Social Love and the Critical Potential of People by : Silvia Cataldi
Download or read book Social Love and the Critical Potential of People written by Silvia Cataldi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unveils the concept of social love as a kind of "Karst River" that flows through the history of sociology, reassessing it as a form criticism by people in everyday life. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this book offers both theoretical and empirical reflections on social love. It shows that love is not only central to the human experience, but that it can also help to interpret and intervene in social problems such as climate change, poverty, xenophobia, and the (post-)Covid crisis, recognizing people as actors in social change. It explores the idea of love as a key element in the promotion of solidarity and recognition in today’s plural and unequal societies. Based on empirical research on social love conducted through both qualitative and quantitative methods, especially in Europe and Latin America, this book explores the social dimension of love. Providing overviews on key questions and studies on current issues, the book is essential reference and resource for researchers, students, social workers, and professionals in social sciences, social philosophy, anthropology, social psychology, sociology of emotions and postmodern literature.
