Havamal is one of the more famous and certainly one of the most popular of the so called Eddaic poems. The part of Havamal which is published here is unique among the Eddaic poems in its being neither heroic nor mythological, but rather a poem of didactic nature. The Eddas signify for the northern culture what the Vedas mean to India and the Homeric poems are for the Greeks. Their variety and wealth are such, that they have been a source of inspiration and delight for generations, and still are.Scholars do not agree on where the Havamal was written, nor when some argue it originated in Norway, some hold it was composed in Iceland, others still in the British Isles. Apart from the problem of discovering where the Havamal was com posed, there is the question of origination. Is it a collection of ancient sayings, which were hovering in the cultural atmosphere of the ancestors of the Vikings, and finally written down by a scribe in one of these countries? Is it a mixture of Latin proverbs and the old heathen wisdom bound together in the metre of the Edda?

The Development of Austro-Hungarian Sarajevo, 1878-1918 charts the urban history of Sarajevo in this period within the context of other modernising central-European cities. It gives detailed consideration to elements of change and continuity in the development of the urban fabric, as well as the economic, social and cultural life of the city. The book also explores how far changes were the work of the occupying Austro-Hungarian administration and the influx of immigrants from elsewhere, and suggests that the local elites from all confessions took an active role in the redevelopment of their city, building an integrated Sarajevan version of urban modernity at a middle-class level. Case studies of particular buildings and their owners, and maps illustrating the chronological development of the city during the period, are used throughout the book to highlight aspects of the aforementioned themes. The built environment forms a major source of evidence, together with material from a range of other sources, including census records, directories, newspapers, government documents, planning records and postcards. These sources are also used to augment observations and arguments put forward in this important study for all students and scholars of modern Central and Eastern Europe. **Review Mary Sparks fascinating study plots this multifaceted westward development, the legacy of four decades of Austro-Hungarian administration that transformed the Bosnian capital ...

The Anthropocene captures more than a debate over how to address the problems of climate change and global warming. Increasingly, it is seen to signify the end of the modern condition itself and potentially to open up a new era of political possibilities. This is the first book to look at the new forms of governance emerging in the epoch of the Anthropocene. Forms of rule, which seek to govern without the handrails of modernist assumptions of command and control from the top-down taking on board new ontopolitical understandings of the need to govern on the grounds of non-linearity, complexity and entanglement.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a distinct mode or understanding of governance Mapping, Sensing and Hacking. Mapping looks at attempts to govern through designing adaptive interventions into processes of interaction. Sensing considers ways of developing greater real time sensitivity to changes in relations, often deploying new technologies of Big Data and the Internet of Things. Hacking analyses the development of ways of becoming with, working to recomposition and reassemble relations in new and creative forms.This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international politics, international security and international relations theory and those interested in critical theory and the way this is impacted by contemporary developments.**ReviewIf the Anthropocene is to be understood as a condition of malaise, as David Chandler suggests in this sophisticated theoretical engagement with contemporary ontopolitics, it necessarily needs new modes of governance. While mapping and sensing might be understood as modern methods, the promise of hacking and digital activism hold out possibilities for acting that deserve much more attention in the world of new rapidly changing urban vulnerabilities. This volume, by one of the key current philosophers of resilience, offers a preliminary must be read guide to these emerging political potentialities in the ruins of neoliberalism.Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs, CanadaHow is it possible that the new metaphysicians of the Anthropocene have greeted the threat of planetary extinction with such affirmation? This is the stirring question that drives Chandlers book. Bringing together policy questions in international relations with contemporary new materialisms, Chandler takes us beyond the entanglements of ticks, slime molds, and ocean currents to ask about the Anthropocenes ontopolitical claims and the postmodern modes of governance they affirm. The result is a stunning exposure of the pragmatic and philosophical stakes of our current condition and an urgent call to contest the affirmative ontopolitics of the Anthropocene. A must read!Lynne Huffer, Emory University, USA...Chandlers Ontopolitics of the Anthropocene is one of the most important pieces of analytical scholarship to come out the academy in years. It provides a new framework for understanding the world that is taking shape. Following the human own-goal of the Anthropocene, we are now suborned to let the world govern and guide us. The new orthodoxy celebrates the demise of linear causality and with it conventional modes of knowing and governing. Open to its contributions, Chandler provides an eloquent and penetrating analysis of its limits. He warns of the potential intellectual sterility of the ontopolitical alternatives it entails. Everyone should heed Chandlers urgent call to critically dissect the governing discourse of the Anthropocene and the relation to the world it creates.Mark Duffield, University of Bristol, UKChandler throws himself headlong into the global tempest of our eponymous era. What comes out the other side is a challenging and vital engagement with the Anthropocene that calls on International Relations to pay attention to the world beyond the narrow confines of our geopolitically charged, species narcissism. A must read for those of us beginning to take notice.Jairus Grove, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USAull*lulOntopolitics in the Anthropoceneis the culmination of David Chandlers long-running engagement with contemporary transformations in social and environmental governance. This book is essential reading for anybody interested in understanding novel practices of rule and how they shape and constrain possibilities for critical thought. As he carefully details how a post-humanist affirmation of the Anthropocene straightjackets our political imaginary, Chandler challenges readers to reinvent what critique might become today.Kevin Grove, Florida International University, USAAbout the AuthorDavid Chandleris Professor of International Relations, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster, UK, and editor of the journal Resilience International Policies, Practices and Discourses.
