The Rule of Law and Emergency in Colonial India: Judicial Politics in the Early Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9783030736651 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book takes a closer look at colonial despotism in early nineteenth-century India and argues that it resulted from Indians’ forum shopping, the legal practice which resulted in jurisdictional jockeying between an executive, the East India Company, and a judiciary, the King’s Court. Focusing on the collisions that took place in Bombay during the 1820s, the book analyses how Indians of various descriptions—peasants, revenue defaulters, government employees, merchants, chiefs, and princes—used the court to challenge the government (and vice versa) and demonstrates the mechanism...

Lobotomy Nation: The History of Psychosurgery and Psychiatry in Denmark
ISBN: 9783030653088 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book tells the story of one of medicine’s most (in)famous treatments: the neurosurgical operation commonly known as lobotomy. Invented by Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz in 1935, lobotomy or psychosurgery became widely used in a number of countries, including Denmark, where the treatment had a major breakthrough. In fact, evidence suggests that more lobotomies were performed in Denmark than any other country. However, the reason behind this unofficial world record has not yet been fully understood. Lobotomy Nation traces the history of psychosurgery and its ties to other...

The Korean War in Turkish Culture and Society
ISBN: 9783030840389 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the important role that the Korean War played in Turkish culture and society in the 1950s. Despite the fact that fewer than 15,000 Turkish soldiers served in Korea, this study shows that the Turkish public was exposed to the war in an unprecedented manner, considering the relatively small size of the country’s military contribution. It examines how the Turkish people understood the war and its causes, how propaganda was used to ‘sell’ the war to the public, and the impact of these messages on the Turkish public. Drawing on literary and visual sources, including...
