The invention of the nation-state was the crowning achievement of the Sykes–Picot Agreement between the United Kingdom and France in 1916. As a geostrategic move to divide, defeat, and dismantle the Ottoman Empire during World War I, it was a great success and the modern colonial borders of the Arab nation-states eventually emerged in the course of World War II. Today, as nations are reconceiving their own postcolonial interpolated histories, Arab and Muslim states are becoming total states on the model of ISIS with Iran, Syria, Turkey and Egypt, among others, violently manufacturing their legitimacy. And yet simultaneously, examples such as the Nobel Peace Prize winning formation of a civil society 'Quartet' in Tunisia allude to a growing transnational public sphere across the Arab and Muslim world. In The Emperor is Naked, Hamid Dabashi boldly argues that the category of nation-state has failed to produce a legitimate and enduring unit of post-colonial polity. Considering what this liberation of nations and denial of legitimacy to ruling states will actually unfurl, Dabashi asks: What will replace the nation-state, what are the implications of this deconstruction on global politics and, crucially, what is the meaning of the post-colonial subject within this moment?

What is the score card for economics at the start of the new millennium? While there are many different schools of economic thought, it is the neo-classical school, with its alleged understanding and simplistic advocacy of the market, that has become equated in the public mind with economics. This book shows that virtually every aspect of conventional neo-classical economics' thinking is intellectually unsound. Steve Keen draws on an impressive array of advanced critical thinking. He constitutes a profound critique of the principle concepts, theories, and methodologies of the mainstream discipline. Keen raises grave doubts about economics' pretensions to established scientific status and its reliability as a guide to understanding the real world of economic life and its policy-making.

If you have ever lain there thinking, as Marilyn Monroe did, "I must be doing it wrong", then this book is for you. If you are a woman and you want better sex; if you are a man and want better sex; this book is a must. Stella Raven's astute expos� on the contemporary sexual milieu and how to make dramatic improvements for both sexes is rigorously rooted in academic research. One of her conclusions is that women are just not getting enough - orgasms. New realms of ecstasy anddelight await you in the pages of this book:Did you know that, - the clitoris has 400% more nerve endings than the penis - only 14% of women feel anything when stimulated inside the vagina - 97% of women admit to faking orgasm - a woman's birthright is the potential for 30 consecutive orgasms or until exhaustion ensues- there is no such thing as a vaginal orgasm or a G Spot - in the last 20 years women having same sex partners increased by 400% - the clitoris was snatched from textbooks in the 17th Century and absent for 300 years- the vulva was celebrated in Neolithic art for millennia Stella Raven explores all these issues and asks, given all these factors why do we continue to have the same old sex in the same formulaic way when enhanced extended ecstasy awaits us. Stella details a more egalitarian approach to sex that will set the sense receptors of both partners on fire. She offers mutual delights that will put a stop to the trend of women voting with their headaches. If you have sex, or even if you don't, can you afford not to read The Naked Emperor?

This thought-provoking book fundamentally questions the foundations of Darwinism, which has become widely accepted as fact, through detailed biological arguments and the use of the author's own intricate knowledge of anatomy. Challenging the suggestion that the flora and fauna of the world came about through a series of unlikely mutations, the author makes many careful distinctions, such as differentiating between micro- and macro-evolution and the characteristics of DNA.

In 1975 Morocco invaded Western Sahara, setting off a 16 year war with the indigenous people of the territory, the Saharawis, that only ended in 1990 when the parties agreed to allow the question of sovereignty over the territory to be settled by a referendum. To date this referendum has not taken place. This book lifts the veil of secrecy and misinformation that cloaks question of why the issue of sovereignty over Western Sahara, the last colony in Africa, has not been settled, and discusses the failure of the international community to address adequately the issues of international law and policy it has raised.

Ming Da is only nine years old when he becomes the emperor of China, and his three advisors take advantage of him by stealing his stores of rice, gold, and precious stones. But Ming Da has a plan. With the help of his tailors, he comes up with a clever idea to outsmart his devious advisors: He asks his tailors to make “magical” new clothes for him. Anyone who is honest, the young emperor explains, will see the clothes’ true splendor, but anyone who is dishonest will see only burlap sacks. The emperor dons a burlap sack, and the ministers can’t help but fall for his cunning trick.
