|  Produktbeschreibung (21013860): Born in 1946 in British Colombia, Canada, Jeff Wall has shown internationally for the last twenty five years and is one of the most intriguing and influential artists working today. His signature works are large-scale narrative photographs in the form of backlit transparencies mounted in light-boxes in the manner of billboard advertisements. Rather than advertising products, Wall´s photographs celebrate moments of everyday life, often ones he has observed while driving around the streets of his native Vancouver and then re-created, using actors. His use of the light-box as a medium has been copied by many younger artists and his theoretical writings on photography are widely admired. With their diverse references to film, literature and the history of art, Wall´s photographs repay close study. Six key works are examined in depth in this survey, that includes rich material from new interviews with the artist and an overview of his career to date. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 19.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (22336913): Today, when bomb-throwing madmen rule nations and crime cartels strangle the globe, justice demands extreme measures. For twenty years, ex-CIA agent John Barrone fought his country´s shadow wars. Now, he spearheads a secret strike force of elite law enforcement and intelligence professionals on a seek-and-destroy mission against America´s enemies. The world is stunned when brutal Cali cocaine king Luis Mendoza announces that he´s seceding from Colombia to form his own country of Pangea, where he will rule for life. Mendoza´s already bribed so many officials and politicians that his new land is formed without a fight. The U.S. knows it cannot stand idle as a hostile country based entirely on drugs, misery, and blood is created. With no official sanction, Barrone and his team are tapped to pay a visit to Pangea, and take out ´´El Presidente´´ Mendoza and the rest of his cartel by any means necessary. But Mendoza is expecting trouble, and he´s got the killing power on his side. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 4.99 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (21460409): Computers are at the heart of war today: the U.S. Navy relies on Palm Pilots as much as fighter pilots. American cybersaboteurs unleashed computer viruses against Slobodon Milosevic in Yugoslavia. Even Marxist guerrillas in Colombia reported that the computers they used to track kidnappings were Y2K compliant. A visionary and disarming overview of cyberwar in the 21st Century, Peace, War, and Computers looks beyond the gadgets of techno-warfare and the early predictions of a purely ´cyberspace´ war to reveal how electronic culture has changed the way we wage war and peace. Drawing on informatics and chaos theory, Chris Hables Gray shows that, despite our Star Wars fantasies, postmodern war is a complex system that cannot be controlled or predicted from outside. Unmanned aircraft - soon to be followed by remote-control naval fleets-may appear to make warfare more sterile, less bloody. But as the fighting in Somalia showed, the highest technology can´t win the simplest conflict. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 96.95 bestellen! |

From Where We Stand: War, Women´s Activism and Feminist Analysis (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22711184): This original study examines women?s activism against war in areas as far apart as Sierra Leone, India, Colombia and Palestine. It shows women on different sides of conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Israel addressing racism and refusing enmity. It describes international networks of women opposing US and Western European militarism and the socalled ?war on terror?. These movements, though diverse, are generating an antimilitarist feminism that challenges how war and militarism are understood, both in academic studies and the mainstream antiwar movement. Gender, particularly the form taken by masculinity in a violent sex/gender system, is inseparably linked to economic and ethno-national factors in the perpetuation of war.

|  Produktbeschreibung (22578653): In the main, studies of organized crime rely on police or judicial sources, or the accounts of retired criminals and informants. In contrast, this study is based on five years of ethnographic fieldwork with Colombian drug traffickers (traquetos) in The Netherlands and Colombia. By spending long hours in salsa bars, churches, prisons, and prostitution streets, the author has uncovered the social world of traquetos: how and why they get involved in illicit activities, the nature of their work, the manner in which they relate to one another, and lastly how they organize their businesses. The result is a lively, theoretically grounded study that defies common clichés on `cartels´ and leadership by legendary Mr Bigs. Instead, it highlights the complex, flexible, and heterogeneous nature of cocaine enterprises. TOC:List of Tables and Figures.- Acknowledgements.- I. Introduction.- II.
