Theories of Geopolitics
Book information
Description
Using insights from critical geopolitics and cultural history, this book focuses on how the academic discipline of geopolitics was created, negotiated, and contested by a wide variety of intellectuals, practitioners, and academics. Many geopoliticians wish to begin by requiring that geopolitics take responsibility for its misuse in the past. Many also agree that this science must reconceptualize geopolitics to account for the many changes which have occurred in the late 20th, and early 21st, centuries. This book considers how geopolitical writings have been influenced by religion, iconography, and doctrine. It also considers how geopolitics has been reformulated in the post-World War II period.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
