The virus of life : A Story from May 2 Resort

By: Stefan Dragos Alexandru

Their journey is difficult; at every important moment the Virus of Life seems to lurk them and to bring their feed on the ground, one by one. Living their lives in poverty, between myths, legends and stories of the place, the children grow up unrefined, without any promises, between events that are on the border between an alienated society and the peace of a place full of prejudices. Innocent games in which young people discover their sexuality, animals that devour children, rapes, incest, prostitution, suicide are all governed by poverty and lack of horizon. Their lives are connected and controlled by entities that seem to have all the answers. The “shadows” eventually get to dominate the young people without guidance. Stefan Dragos Alexandru was born in 1988 in 2 May village, he graduated from the Mircea cel Batran Naval Academy and sailed as a deck officer. The Virus of Life is the author’s first book.

Democratization and Securitization

The Case of Romania

By: Adina Stefan

Securitization and Democratization reveals the mutual dependency between democratization and securitization, two processes that while evolving reinforce each other. The study of the democratic consolidation is complemented by the more complex and dynamic securitization elements that offer an in-depth view of the internal threats to be faced. Ms. Stefan’s analysis creates an articulated and coherent concept underlying the close dependence between democracy and security. As a study case, Romania provides a wide scale of situations in several security sectors and contributes to building a model that is operational in any post-communist society.

Fair Progress?

Economic Mobility across Generations around the World

By: Ambar Narayan,Roy Van der Weide,Alexandru Cojocaru,Christoph Lakner,Silvia Redaelli,Daniel Gerszon Mahler,Rakesh Gupta N. Ramasubbaiah,Stefan Thewissen

Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations around the World focuses on an issue that has gotten much attention in the developed world, but will present new data and analysis covering most of the world including developing economies. The analysis considers whether those born in poverty or in prosperity are destined to remain in the same economic circumstances into which they were born, and looks back over a half a century at whether children's lives are better or worse than their parents' in different parts of the world. It suggests local, national, and global actions and policies that can help break the cycle of poverty, paving the way for the next generation to realize their potential and improve their lives.

Internal Conflict in Nineteenth-Century Literature

Reading the Jungian Shadow

By: Stefan Bolea

Internal Conflict in Nineteenth-century Literature: Reading the Jungian Shadow” examines the genealogy of the Jungian shadow in Romantic and post-Romantic literature. Ştefan Bolea analyzes the way the crisis of identity in nineteenth-century literature prefigures our contemporary “inner discord” by means of the philosophy of literature, combining literary criticism with psychoanalytical phenomenology. This book provides a deep analysis of the connection between this “inner discord” and the century that brought us industrialization, nationalism, modernity, and the unconscious by comparing Jung’s theory of the shadow with Nietzche’s and Cioran’s versions of Antihumanism in a highly interdisciplinary landscape. Scholars of psychology, philosophy, literature, media studies, and history will find this book particularly useful.

Disrupted Landscapes

State, Peasants and the Politics of Land in Postsocialist Romania

By: Stefan Dorondel

The fall of the Soviet Union was a transformative event for the national political economies of Eastern Europe, leading not only to new regimes of ownership and development but to dramatic changes in the natural world itself. This painstakingly researched volume focuses on the emblematic case of postsocialist Romania, in which the transition from collectivization to privatization profoundly reshaped the nation’s forests, farmlands, and rivers. From bureaucrats abetting illegal deforestation to peasants opposing government agricultural policies, it reveals the social and political mechanisms by which neoliberalism was introduced into the Romanian landscape.

Full-Moon above the Vosges

By: Cosmin Stefan Georgescu

Full-Moon above the Vosges gives us a dynamic perspective of human life, which unfolds through growth and change. Starting with adolescence, we move on to the events that most mark a man during his growth and maturation. Historical and classical anecdotes give us a perspective of the Earth and humanity through the eyes of the author. The world of personal characters from the author’s life is combined with that of classical and historical culture to which each of us can refer. The work is a perfect blend of personal and collective events that intertwine to narrate the author’s life and personal experiences. The reader is taken on a journey that begins with the writer’s childhood and passion for writing, moves on to his growth and medical career and culminates in his maturity, denoted by his reflections on man and his nature, while the common thread is the feeling of solitude that only the moon can give us. Cosmin Stefan Georgescu has been fascinated by words ever since his childhood, when he used to read and recite poems encouraged by his parents. Both of them being teachers, they were his first model during this early period of life. However, he later decided to become a doctor, graduating in 1997 from Carol Davila University of Medicine in Bucharest. During his career, he didn’t let down his passion, organizing cultural events and subscribing to the Society of Physician Writers in Romania. In 2015 he moved to France, where he has been living ever since. He published books in Romania, UK and France. He was awarded the Romanian “Sentimental Twilight” Prize in 2020 and the Critics’ Prize for his work Letters to God return to sender in 2021.

European Climate Vulnerabilities and Adaptation

A Spatial Planning Perspective

By: Philipp Schmidt-Thome,Stefan Greiving

European Climate Vulnerabilities and Adaptation: A Spatial Planning Perspective analyses the impacts climate change might have on regions and their local economies. Regions clearly differ in view of the complex patterns of climate change impact, but also regarding the given vulnerability and coping capacity. Impacts of climate change can have a marked effect on the functioning of regions and sectors of the society, if not properly addressed. Readiness to adapt to the impacts and lasting changes counts towards vulnerability of the regions. The book builds upon the findings of a project conducted under the European observation network for territorial development and cohesion (ESPON), The ESPON Climate project. Following the stipulations of the ESPON programme and the tender for this project the territorial focus is the raison d’être and methodological core of the project as a whole and its various research actions: The outcomes of each action will be focused on what impacts global climate change will have for the different European regions and how the regions can cope with the projected impacts in order to become less vulnerable to climate change. This book: Provides a comprehensive analysis of climate change impacts on 29 European regions and their local economies Takes an interdisciplinary approach dealing with the physical, social, economic, environmental, cultural and institutional aspects of climate change vulnerability and the consequences for spatial planning Builds on the findings of the ESPON Climate project with a policy focused approach Is in full colour throughout with a broad range of case studies

Aristotle’s Metaphysics Lambda

Annotated Critical Edition Based upon a Systematic Investigation of Greek, Latin, Arabic and Hebrew Sources

By: Stefan Alexandru

In this annotated critical edition of Aristotle’s Metaphysics Lambda Stefan Alexandru explores and utilizes for the first time numerous previously neglected textual sources, written in Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. The twelfth book of the Metaphysics, originally an independent treatise, is crucial for the understanding of Aristotle’s philosophy, primarily because the doctrine of the Unmoved Mover is nowhere else set forth in greater detail. Not only all the forty-two formerly known Greek codices have been collated, but also commentaries and translations. Moreover, a hitherto undiscovered, independent manuscript, representing a tenuous and particularly valuable branch of the direct tradition, is minutely investigated. The document in question, preserved in the Vatican, is an autograph of the Byzantine humanist and Ecumenical Patriarch Gennadios II Scholarios.
