  The Cascade Effect of Migration...

  This volume offers a rigorous and interdisciplinary exploration of how the European Union's externalization of migration governance has reshaped territorial, political, and human landscapes at its periphery. Tracing the aftermath of the 2015 migration crisis, the volume examines how informal agreements with Turkey, Libya, Tunisia, and Albania initiated a cascading logic that normalizes legal opacity, erodes accountability, and institutionalizes human rights violations. Moving beyond legal and geopolitical critique, the book investigates the entanglement of migration containment with tourism development in border regions such as Lampedusa and Lesvos, exposing how these territories become doubly burdened as sites of both securitization and commodification. By engaging with law, postcolonial theory, and critical tourism studies, the authors reveal the neo-colonial dynamics underlying EU mobility governance and advance alternative models grounded in accountability, territorial justice, and the defense of fundamental rights.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules
  - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
  - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners

  - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language
  - Uniquely stylised illustrations
  - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’
  - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts
  - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom
  
  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  Counterrevolution - The Crusade...

  Stephen Steinberg

  • 0

  In Black Reconstruction W. E. B. Du Bois wrote, "The slave went free; stood for a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery." His words echo across the decades as the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, has seen those gains steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book, Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race. 
   
   
   
  Steinberg puts counterrevolution into historical and theoretical perspective, exploring the "victim-blaming" and "colorblind" discourses that emerged in the post-segregation era and undermined progress toward racial equality, and led to the gutting of affirmative action. This book reflects Steinberg's long career as a critical race scholar, culminating with his assessment of our current moment and the possibilities for political transformation.

  Transcendentalism - The Greatest...

  Transcendentalism is a philosophical and literary movement that emerged in the early 19th century in America, primarily associated with thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. It developed as a reaction to the industrial revolution, the growing materialism of society, and the influence of traditional European intellectual thought. Transcendentalism posited that knowledge transcends the senses and that reality can be understood through intuition and spiritual insight rather than empirical observation alone. This belief is rooted in the idea that each individual has access to divine truths through personal experience and direct communion with nature. 
  At its core, Transcendentalism emphasizes the importance of the individual and the power of self-reliance. It encourages a connection to nature as a means of finding spiritual clarity and understanding. Nature, for the transcendentalists, was not simply a physical world to be studied but a living, divine entity that could guide personal growth and spiritual development. They argued that individuals should look within themselves and to nature for truth, rather than relying on societal conventions or religious institutions. 
  The roots of Transcendentalism are found in a variety of sources, including German idealism, Eastern philosophy, and the American Puritan tradition. However, it was through figures like Emerson, who published his seminal essay Nature in 1836, that the movement gained significant traction. Emerson’s ideas about self-reliance, individualism, and the divine presence in nature resonated with many Americans seeking an alternative to the rigid societal structures of the time.
