United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) heads a wave of anti-sweatshop organizing that has reached over two hundred American college campuses in the past three years. From the Northeast to the Southwest, at public and private, large and small universities, students have one demand: clothing bearing university logos must be produced under healthy, safe and fair working conditions. This short, punchy, yet sharply analytic book, written by USAS activists and an expert journalist, provides a record of a new mass campaign and a tool for the realization of its goals.

Rigid Body Dynamics Algorithms presents the subject of computational rigid-body dynamics through the medium of spatial 6D vector notation. It explains how to model a rigid-body system and how to analyze it, and it presents the most comprehensive collection of the best rigid-body dynamics algorithms to be found in a single source. The use of spatial vector notation greatly reduces the volume of algebra which allows systems to be described using fewer equations and fewer quantities. It also allows problems to be solved in fewer steps, and solutions to be expressed more succinctly. In addition al

Recent decades have seen intensified flows of people, commodities, money, ideas, information and images on a global level. Is a unified world culture emerging? And if so, how does this relate to existing cultural divisions and to the autonomy of the nation state?   In this book leading social scientists from many countries analyze the extent to which we are seeing a globalizaton of culture. Differing explanations are offered for trends towards global unification and their relation to an economic world-system. The contributors explore the emergence of `third cultures’, such as inte

In 1881 the Egyptian army mutinied from the Khedive of Egypt, and forced him to appoint Said Ahmed Arabi as Minister of War. In March 1882 Arabi was made a Pasha and from this time on acted as a dictator. Impassioned demands of Arabi that the foreigner be driven out of Egypt and massacres of Christians prompted an armed British response, first in the form of a naval bombardment of Alexandria, and then as an expeditionary force under Lieutenant-General Wolseley. Sir Garnet Wolseley’s campaign, completed in just four and a half weeks, was an almost ’textbook’ operation, careful

A clearly-written introduction to the study of postcolonial cultures which broadens the reach of postcolonial theory and criticism. The book covers current topics in the field, such as nationhood, hybridity and identity, globalism and the local, diasporas, the politics of gender, and cultural diversity and difference. These are discussed as theories developed in a variety of disciplines, and through case studies that emphasise a range of cultural practices, including popular music, literature, tourism, and oral performances. The case studies focus upon postcolonial Britain, India, the English-
