The diaries intimately document the Shah's personal and political life. Periodically, Alam would send the writings t...

Ablaut, the grammatically conditioned vowel alternations found in e.g. English sing vs. sang vs. sung, is one of the most characteristic features of the Indo-European languages.

This poses some challenging metaphysical problems. The ar...

This book is about the limits to globalization. Companies are neither as international nor as open as commonly presented. Scholars of globalization have mainly concentrated on describing the global reach of companies as well as their outward openness. They have, to a large extent, neglected the other side of the coin: the strength of the companies' national roots and the inward restrictions still widely imposed by their nation-states. The Limi...
