Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Webster es una mujer de cierta edad con mucho carácter. Solitaria, soltera, temperamental, no le gustó tener que dejar de dar sus clases de francés. En su pueblo, Little Blessington, es conocida por su talante arisco, su lengua afilada y sus opiniones dogmáticas. Una imprevista afección viene a interrumpir su rutina cotidiana. Animada por su médico, decide realizar un viaje por el norte de África, por el desierto, un lugar de sorprendentes contrastes para el orden mental de Elizabeth Webster. Una vez de vuelta a su cottage, un buen día recibe la visita de un joven árabe. Es el hijo de la mujer que regentaba el hotel en el que se hospedó en el desierto. Un joven amable, encantador, que desea estudiar en la Universidad. Miss Webster decide alojarlo en su casa. La convivencia parece ir sobre ruedas, pero el peso de las noticias sobre el 11-S empiezan a ensombrecerla. Afloran las sospechas sobre si el joven es realmente quien dice ser y si realmente viene a estudiar o a algo más. Miss Webster y Chérif es una novela de intriga y de madurez. Una narración provocadora, emotiva, inteligente e incisiva. Con el fino y británico humor que caracteriza a Patricia Duncker, aborda un tema tan candente como es el de la xenofobia y el racismo, el de los temores y desconfianzas hacia el extraño, hacia quien no es como nosotros, sobre todo cuando el mundo que nos rodea es inquietante. No obstante, Patricia Duncker deja abierta la puerta a una esperanzadora superación de los prejuicios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a post-racial approach to the representation of race in contemporary British fiction, re-imagining studies of race and British literature away from concerns with specific racial groups towards a more sophisticated analysis of the contribution of a broad, post-racial British writing. Examining the work of writers from a wide range of diverse racial backgrounds, the book illustrates how contemporary British fiction, rather than merely reflecting social norms, is making a radical contribution towards the possible future of a positively multi-ethnic and post-racial Britain. This is developed by a strategic use of the realist form, which becomes a utopian device as it provides readers with a reality beyond current circumstances, yet one which is rooted within an identifiable world. Speaking to the specific contexts of British cultural politics, and directly connecting with contemporary debates surrounding race and identity in Britain, the author engages with a wide range of both mainstream and neglected authors, including Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, Julian Barnes, John Lanchester, Alan Hollinghurst, Martin Amis, Jon McGregor, Andrea Levy, Bernardine Evaristo, Hanif Kureishi, Kazuo Ishiguro, Hari Kunzru, Nadeem Aslam, Meera Syal, Jackie Kay, Maggie Gee, and Neil Gaiman. This cutting-edge volume explores how contemporary fiction is at the centre of re-thinking how we engage with the question of race in twenty-first-century Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Condition is a collection of papers by leading evolutionary biologists and philosophers of science that reflect on the Darwinian Revolution as it relates to the human condition at levels ranging from the molecular to the theological. The book focuses on understanding the evolutionary origin of humans and their biological and cultural traits. The Human Condition is organized into three parts: Human Phylogenetic History and the Paleontological Record; Structure and Function of the Human Genome; and Cultural Evolution and the Uniqueness of Being Human. This fourth volume from the In the Light of Evolution (ILE) series, based on a series of Arthur M. Sackler colloquia, was designed to promote the evolutionary sciences. Each volume explores evolutionary perspectives on a particular biological topic that is scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to contemporary societal issues or challenges. Individually and collectively, the ILE series interprets phenomena in various areas of biology through the lens of evolution, addresses some of the most intellectually engaging as well as pragmatically important societal issues of our times, and fosters a greater appreciation of evolutionary biology as a consolidating foundation for the life sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.
