An authoritative examination of the continuing crisis in the Atlantic Alliance. Since the inception of NATO many have said that it would not last. Now, after 30 years of the NATO Alliance, this book discusses whether the present discord will actually bring about the dissolution of NATO, or whether it is simply the old situation in a new disguise. This book, based on a Symposium held in September 1983, outlines the military and economic crises, looks at the various solutions and, finally, focuses on the future of the Alliance.

Divine Psychology of the Revolution of Biafra is a Poetic Fantasy of Biafra, which poeticizes upon the divine-concept Biafra, and solicits its redemption from the non-status of a Military Ambition of the Old Order. The Divine Psychology thus poeticizes upon Biafra renewed and updated in its divine status as a Democratic Aspiration of the New Order. The Poetic Fantasy of Biafra is given in a structured poetic style employing rhymes and contrasts. Thematically, Volume One pursues Cessation of the Iniquity of Man and its EvilCaptivity as retained in the Old Order Experience; while Volume Two issues Foundation of the Dignity of Man and its CivilLiberty as obtained in the New Order Existence.
dis/cord is an experiment in reading sound. Embarking from Karen Barad's early work on agential realism, it diffracts quantum physics through sound art, finding the sympathetic resonances that allow them to speak together. dis/cord believes in the materialism of sound, and strives not to understand it, but to become entangled with it. It asserts that impartial observation is impossible and understands immersion as a participatory and collaborative act. Sound art pieces provide the backdrop for a series of reflections on space, time, and matter. They trace the "marks on bodies" that sound leaves behind in its ephemeral vibration, finding new forms of sensation and interpretation through the pain and hearing loss that a life devoted to sound can cause. Drifting between sound studies, artistic research, musicology, and craftsmanship, dis/cord uses agential realism as a platform to approach thinking with, through, and about sound. Following Barad's commitment to diffraction as a form of critique, it superposes a variety of sounds and ideas in the hope that their consonances and dissonances can provoke new ways of engaging with sound as a cultural and material agent. It is neither an appeal to scientist positivism nor a mystical immersion in listening. Rather, it builds from the intertwined physical and metaphysical curiosities that characterize Barad's work, proposing a corporeal engagement with the disjointed temporal and spacial (dis)continuities that sonic materialism helps to build, understand, and create. Kevin Toksöz Fairbairn is a sound artist and musician working around the edges of installation, improvisation, composition, and craftsmanship.
