    Transnational Urbanism
    Transnational Urbanism is a profound work of theoretical synthesis. Moving deftly across disciplines, urban theorist Michael Peter Smith criticizes the one-sided nature of globalization theory that has influenced urban studies scholars in the past two decades. Smith treats globalization not as an accomplished fact, but as an unfinished project of social and political practices. Central questions posed in this book explore how and why transnational migrants, refugees, diasporas, ethnic formations, entrepreneurs, political activists, and institutional networks locate and actively maintain social relations, as well as how transnational practices relate to the neo-liberal project of corporate globalization. The book foregrounds the continuing significance of cities as mediators of power and as the human foundation of contemporary transnationalism.

    Quantum Heresies
    Do we live in a quantum universe? Or a classical relativistic universe? Or a universe that is somehow a hybrid of the two? The papers collected in Quantum Heresies argue that it is quantum all the way down, and probably all the way up, too. Peacock criticizes the orthodox view that quantum mechanics and relativity stand in a relation of 'peaceful coexistence', and argues that new concepts of simultaneity are needed in order to think about time and causation in the radically nonlocal world that quantum mechanics reveals. Papers in collaboration with John Woods and Brian Hepburn explore the logic of quantum mechanics and the dynamics of entangled states, and an Envoi points to the work still to be done.

    Catching Tigers in Red Weather , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min
    Catching Tigers in Red Weather, winner of the Three Candles Press Open Book Award (selected by Joan Larkin), is a collection of poems by a new voice that combines montage cut-ups with an informing dialectic that gives us a wide array of contemporary American viewpoints. By turns playful and serious, the poet deftly embraces and criticizes a popular culture that is too complicated to dismiss with swift and simple comments. It is a book of rich rewards. ungekürzt.

    Twilight of the Idols , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
    In Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche criticizes German culture of the day as unsophisticated and nihilistic, and shoots some disapproving arrows at key French, British, and Italian cultural figures who represent similar tendencies. In contrast to all these alleged representatives of cultural "decadence", Nietzsche applauds Caesar, Napoleon, Goethe, Thucydides, and the Sophists as healthier and stronger types. The book states the transvaluation of all values as Nietzsche's final and most important project, and gives a view of antiquity wherein the Romans for once take precedence over the ancient Greeks. The book is divided into 12 sections. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arthur Grey. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/121329/bk_acx0_121329_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Twilight of the Idols , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
    The Twilight of the Idols was written by Nietzsche in 1888 as a short introduction to his work. In it, he labels the era’s German culture as decadent and nihilistic, and criticizes certain British, French and Italian cultural figures who, in his view, represented similar tendencies. By decadence, he means a fading of life, vitality and an embrace of weakness. In contrast to those alleged representatives of cultural decadence, Nietzsche holds up historical personages like Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Goethe, Thucydides and the Sophist philosophers as healthier types. The book presents a view of antiquity in which the Romans take precedence over the ancient Greeks in the field of literature. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellis Freeman.

    The Fall of Change
    This book is based on personal opinion and commentary on the Pakistani political and social issues covering various events. I'm extremely impressed with the title "The Fall of Change", as in reality, every change gets more fall than rising, no matter the change is political, social, or even personal. The need of the hour is to keep laying foundations for new traditions of protest against social injustice, mistakes of history, deceptive propaganda of so-called democracy as the world is miles away from the real spirit of democracy. It's impossible to find comfort in quiet. Most people around us suffer the grind of poverty, collapse of the economic system, and inflation. Many nations of the world are liberated but unfortunately not their rulers. Above all, the most daunting challenge is to recognize 'who is the enemy'. The philosophy of this book criticizes the conflicts, but in the end with a hope to bear fruit one day through love rather than to mourn in distress.
