From the Publisher: From a critically acclaimed author-a comprehensive history of the part of the world currently making headlines. The former Soviet republics of Central Asia comprise a sprawling, politically pivotal, densely populated, and richly cultured area of the world that is nonetheless poorly represented in libraries and mainstream media. Since their political incorporation in Stalin's Soviet era, these countries have gone through a flash of political and economical evolution. But despite these rapid changes, the growth of oil wealth and U.S. jockeying, and the opening of the region to tourists and businessmen, the spirit of Central Asia has remained untouched at its core. In this comprehensive new treatment, renowned political writer and historian Dilip Hiro offers us a narrative that places the modern politics, peoples, and cultural background of this region firmly into the context of current international focus. Given the strategic location of Central Asia, its predominantly Muslim population, and its hydrocarbon and other valuable resources, it comes as no surprise that the five Central Asian republics are emerging in the twenty-first century as one of the most potentially influential-and coveted-patches of the globe.

Alain Badiou est reconnu pour être un grand philosophe, prenant la suite des Deleuze, Foucault et Derrida. Il est donc normalement contesté, mais surtout pour ses prises de position philosophiques et politiques extrêmes. L’Anti-Badiou explore systématiquement les raisons légitimes de cette contestation. Elles portent sur sa personnalité philosophique, volontaire et autoritaire. Sur sa prise de parti platonicienne en philosophie, conservatrice et tranchante. Sur son matérialisme mathématisant qui dresse en face à face spéculaire une décision philosophique vide et une mathématique réduite à la théorie des ensembles. Sur son style, celui d’un planificateur et d’un épurateur. Sur son aristocratisme (éloge du vide et de la rareté de l’événement, culte de la philosophie et du philosophe-héros, posture générale de maîtrise). Sur sa politique empreinte de néo-maoïsme et de volontarisme militant. Surtout cet essai découvre en filigrane derrière le masque philosophique des échos de la Révolution Culturelle chinoise comme arme de guerre contre l’embourgeoisement de la pensée. Pour mieux déchiffrer les enjeux politico-philosophiques du “badiolisme”, on établit un nouvel étalon, celui d’une science de la philosophie (appelée “non-philosophie”) par rapport à laquelle on évalue la nature régressive et violente de cette tentative et des dégâts qu’elle produit dans la pensée. Une philosophie de la terreur et de l’épuration.

In 1913, the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston admitted its first patient, Mary Agnes Turner, who suffered from varicose veins in her legs. The surgical treatment she received, under ether anesthesia, was the most advanced available at the time. At the same hospital fifty years later, Nicholas Tilney-then a second-year resident-assisted in the repair of a large aortic aneurysm. The cutting-edge diagnostic tools he used to evaluate the patient's condition would soon be eclipsed by yet more sophisticated apparatus, including minimally invasive approaches and state-of-the-art imaging technology, which Tilney would draw on in pioneering organ transplant surgery and becoming one of its most distinguished practitioners.In Invasion of the Body, Tilney tells the story of modern surgery and the revolutions that have transformed the field: anesthesia, prevention of infection, professional standards of competency, pharmaceutical advances, and the present turmoil in medical education and health care reform. Tilney uses as his stage the famous Boston teaching hospital where he completed his residency and went on to practice (now called Brigham and Women's). His cast of characters includes clinicians, support staff, trainees, patients, families, and various applied scientists who push the revolutions forward.While lauding the innovations that have brought surgeons' capabilities to heights undreamed of even a few decades ago, Tilney also previews a challenging future, as new capacities to prolong life and restore health run headlong into unsustainable costs. The authoritative voice he brings to the ancient tradition of surgical invasion will be welcomed by patients, practitioners, and policymakers alike.

After decades of bloodshed and political terror, many lament the rise of the left in Latin America. Since the triumph of Castro, politicians and historians have accused the left there of rejecting democracy, embracing communist totalitarianism, and prompting both revolutionary violence and a right-wing backlash. Through unprecedented archival research and gripping personal testimonies, the author challenges these views. In doing so, he uncovers the hidden history of the Latin American Cold War: of hidebound reactionaries holding on to their power and privilege; of Mayan Marxists blending indigenous notions of justice with universal ideas of equality; and of a United States supporting new styles of state terror throughout the region.
