Routledge | 2002-11 | ISBN: 041528743X | 224 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB

This book presents the case for reputation as a strategic tool for organizations in the 21st century. As well as a review of current thinking on how reputation is managed, the text contains a unique approach to reputation measurement and management, the Reputation Chain. The authors’ approach has been tried and tested in a number of organizations.

The authors demonstrate how improving reputation, merely by learning more about what a company is already doing, has been proven to increase sales growth at five percent. US companies examined include Coke, IBM, Intel, McDonalds, Fortune and Enron.

Caesar’s Gallic Wars 58-50 BC (Essential Histories)
Routledge | 96 pages | 2003 | ISBN: 0415968585 | PDF | 4.2 mb

Julius Caesar was one of the most ambitious and successful politicians of the late Roman Republic, and his short but bloody conquest of the Celtic tribes led to the establishment of the Roman province of Gaul (modern France). Caesar’s commentaries on his Gallic Wars provide us with the most detailed surviving eyewitness account of a campaign from antiquity.

In this book, Kate Gilliver makes use of this firsthand account and other surviving evidence to consider the importance of the Gallic Wars in the context of the collapse of the Roman Republic and its slide toward civil war.

Alien Chic: Posthumanism and the Other Within
Routledge | 208 pages | 2004 | ISBN: 0415310237 | PDF | 2 mb

Alien Chic sets out to provide a cultural history of the alien since the 1950s, asking why our attitudes to aliens have changed from fear to affection, and what this can tell us about how we now see ourselves and others.

The author begins by exploring our relationship with the concept of aliens, primarily through films, including Invaders from Mars, Mars Attacks and Mission to Mars.

He then progresses to ideas of humanism and what makes us human, taking in the works of thinkers such as Descartes, Barthes, Freud, and Derrida.

The book then considers the concept of posthumanism in an age in which the lines between what is human and what is non-human are increasingly blurred by advances in science and technology, for example cloning and genetic engineering, and the development of AI and cyborgs. This leads to the question of whether our embracing of all things ‘alien’ stems from a need to reaffirm ourselves as “human.”

Written in a clear and engaging style, Alien Chic is an original and thought-provoking contribution to the study of posthumanism.

Stanley Wolpert’s third edition of India provides a much-needed, concise overview of Indian history and culture.

His new preface brings the book up to date, discussing the most recent national elections, the economic effects of the new globalization, and the consequences of joining the nuclear arms race.

Partitions: Reshaping States and Minds (Routledge Studies in Geopolitics)
Routledge | 176 pages | 2006 | ISBN: 0415348021 | PDF | 1.2 mb

The partition of the Indian sub-continent, the collapse of the Soviet Union and erstwhile Yugoslavia, the reunification of Germany, the continuing feud between the two Koreas, the Irish peace process, the case of Israel/Palestine and the lingering division of Cyprus have together fuelled new thinking on the strategy and acts of partitioning countries, states, nations and continuities.

They have also given rise to a huge body of literature. However, studies of partitions have usually focused on individual cases. This innovative volume uses a comparative analysis to fill the gap in partition studies and examines cross-cutting issues such as:

A· Violence
A· State formation and state building
A· Regional politics
A· Union and regional unification
A· Peace policies
A· Transitional strategies
A· Geopolitics
A· Historical experiences of de-colonization and transition

Forms of violence and violent transition are worthy of analysis in their own right; the impact of various forms of violence on current politics, such as ethnological and territorial conflicts or religious pogroms, is not confined to a locality that witnesses the partition of polity - its impact is global. And as there is a strong link between partition, local violence and globalisation, there is a real need for a cutting-edge comparative framework that goes beyond area-centric readings but is gender sensitive, and sums up the experiences and implications of partition.

This book will of great interest to historians, political scientists, philosophers, policy-makers, international relations experts and peace building institutions and practitioners, and political scientists.
