The Mathematical and Philosophical Legacy of Alexander Grothendieck (Chapman Mathematical Notes)
Par Marco Panza, Daniele C. Struppa, Jean-Jacques Szczeciniarz. 2025
Alexander Grothendieck is often considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century (if not all time), and his…
unique vision continues to impact and inspire many fields and researchers today. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, this edited volume explores the profound influence his work and ideas have had not only on mathematics, but also on logic and philosophy. Chapters are written by international scholars, and many were inspired by talks given at the conference “Grothendieck, A Multifarious Giant” at Chapman University (May 24-28, 2022). Some chapters are written from a historical perspective and discuss the development of the main themes that characterized Grothendieck's work. Others are more mathematical in nature, analyzing and extending some of his more relevant and obscure results that are still not well understood. Philosophical implications and applications in logic are the subjects of other chapters. This volume will be of interest not only to mathematicians working in algebraic geometry, category theory, and other areas to which Grothendieck contributed, but also to philosophers, logicians, and historians of science.
Bernard Shaw and Noël Coward: Conversation Pieces (Bernard Shaw and His Contemporaries)
Par Christopher Wixson. 2025
This book tracks dramaturgical affinities between some of Bernard Shaw&’s late &“extravagant&” plays and those of Noël Coward, in particular…
their recasting of one another&’s style and the tradition of manners comedy. While Coward&’s first play (The Young Idea) all but plagiarizes You Never Can Tell and Shaw responds with his own depictions of the idle rich, their experimental plays in the 1930s also ambitiously engage issues of race and Empire, topics further outside their respective idioms. &“Christopher Wixson mines Shaw&’s rarely-explored engagement with the work of Noël Coward, examining both writers' highly experimental plays from the 1930s in light of such important issues as postwar disillusionment, racial difference, and post-coloniality.&” Michel Pharand, Queen's University
Einführung in die Sozialstrukturanalyse (Kompass Soziologie)
Par Christoph Weischer. 2025
Soziale Ungleichheiten sind ein brisantes Thema. Wissenschaftliche Sozialstrukturanalysen zielen darauf, Erklärungen für die Entstehung und Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheiten zu geben.…
In dieser Einführung werden zentrale Konzepte der Analyse sozialer Ungleichheiten, wichtige Forschungsrichtungen und die damit verbundenen theoretischen Perspektiven erläutert. So geht es um sozioökonomische und soziokulturelle Ansätze, aber auch um die systematische Einbeziehung einer intersektionalen und transnationalen Perspektive. Die einzelnen Ansätze werden immer auch in ihren sozialgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt. Sie werden als „Modelle&“ mit je unterschiedlichen Erkenntnispotentialen begriffen – so wird das über einen langen Zeitraum kumulierte sozialwissenschaftliche Wissen zum Verständnis von Sozialstrukturen für heutige Studierende zugänglich. Mit der Skizzierung der methodischen Zugänge zur Untersuchung sozialer Strukturen werden die Potentiale quantitativer und qualitativer Forschungsdesigns aufgezeigt. Schließlich werden am deutschen Beispiel wichtige empirische Befunde dargelegt, um die soziale Verfasstheit der Gegenwartsgesellschaft zu erschließen. Die Einführung richtet sich an Studierende, die sich in den Sozialwissenschaften und benachbarten Disziplinen mit der Analyse der sozialen Welt befassen. Darüber hinaus wendet sie sich auch an jene, die in ihrem beruflichen Leben oder als politisch Interessierte mit den sozialen Problemen und Ungleichheiten dieser Welt konfrontiert sind.

Empowering China: Half a Century Since Nixon’s Opening to China
Par Eugenio Bregolat. 2025
The author enjoyed the exorbitant privilege of serving three times as Ambassador of Spain to China over a period of…
25 years,between 1987 and 2013. He wondered about the US decisive role in empowering China,This book is the result of his review. The book starts with an in-depth analysis of China´s exponential economic development since 1978, adding a reflection on economic power as the crucial underpinning of military and geopolitical might. It underlines that when Nixon first visited China, in February 1972, he and Kissinger already understood that China would become a great power in a few decades and the ensuing risk "to be confronted, if our relations turn sour, with the most formidable enemy that has ever existed". The anticipated risk was taken to achieve short term benefits. Assessing the wisdom of this decision is the thrust of the book. Eight reasons are listed which might have given Nixon and Kissinger second thoughts when they decided to engage China. The contributions of the different US Presidents to the engagement and later containment of China are analyzed. A chapter is devoted to "Unfulfilled prophecies": China and democracy, and the elusive collapse of the Chinese economy. A European epilogue deals with the triangular relationship Europe - US - China. Will Europe be able to reach political union, engineering a renaissance from the ashes of 1945 and becoming again a great power? It is the existential question: to be or not to be. “The book also features a foreword by Javier Solana, former Secretary General of NATO and High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union.”

of people with disabilities and marginalized communities into the global sustainability transition to a sustainable future. Through highlighting the intersectionality of identity and the unique challenges faced by these groups, the book addresses a pressing issue: the often-overlooked barriers that hinder their full participation in sustainable transitions. Organized into three parts, the book first contextualizes the relationship between sustainability and inclusion. It delves into the historical and theoretical frameworks that shape our understanding of marginalization, exploring how disability intersects with various social identities. This foundation sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the ways in which they can be made more inclusive, ensuring that no one is left behind. The second part identifies and examines the myriad barriers to inclusion within sustainable practices. It addresses structural, socioeconomic, and cultural obstacles that perpetuate exclusion while also critiquing existing policy frameworks for their limitations in addressing the needs of marginalized populations. Through case studies, the book highlights successful initiatives and innovative practices that promote accessibility and equity, mainly through the use of assistive technologies and community engagement. In the final section, the book outlines actionable strategies for fostering inclusive, sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of community engagement, participatory decision-making, and the empowerment of marginalized voices. Additionally, it discusses metrics for monitoring and evaluating the impact of sustainability initiatives on people with disabilities, providing a framework for accountability and continuous improvement. This book aims to bridge the gap between sustainability and social justice, offering a roadmap for stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners committed to creating a more inclusive world. This book targets academics, policymakers, non-profit societies, and activists working at the intersection of sustainability and social equity and serves as a vital resource for those seeking to understand and promote inclusive practices in the global sustainable transition.
