Developments in East Asia have progressed rapidly in terms of regionalism since the 1997 crisis. The end of the Asian miracle called into question not only the capacity of regional states to meet the needs of their attendant peoples, but also challenged the viability of regional organizations, such as ASEAN, to adapt and respond to the changing circumstances.
"Advancing East Asian Regionalism" looks at the ways in which ASEAN has expanded since the crisis and evaluates the potential of East Asia to come together in a regional formation - one capable of representing the region as whole -...

This social history of protest movements in 1960s Germany departs from the limited and often politically biased reports of participants by placing the protests within the wider contexts of social change and international events. Thomas makes extensive use of archival material, much of which has never been used before, to reconstruct an historical narrative that begins with the peace and anti-nuclear campaigns of the 1950s and moves seamlessly on to the defining events of the 1960s -the Vietnam War, university reform, and the womens movement.Through this original reconstruction, Thomas...

With an approach that is harmonious with the scientific mindset, 'Eh Na?' deals with exposing the essence of the divine and humanity's connection with it. It encourages reader to apply critical thinking, instead of spiritual materialism when approaching the mystical and allows the reader to discover the tools to do so.

In this third, enlarged edition of Lehrs' classic study, the reader is led, step by step, to a spiritual-scientific method of investigation.

This is a pioneering new method of training the mind and eye, as well as other human senses, leading to a transformation from our modern "on-looking" consciousness to a new kind of "participative" consciousness.

The beginnings of this method were formulated by Goethe (1749-1832) more than 200 years ago, but his...
