The 20th century began with a host of question marks. The Enlightenment view of human rationality and goodness was questioned; the belief in natural rights and objective standards governing morality were attacked. Shattering old beliefs, this century left Europeans without landmarks, without generally accepted cultural standards or agreed upon conceptions about human beings and life¿s meaning. T.S. Eliot¿s ¿The Waste Land¿ is a realistic complex depiction of the post-War Western civilization, where people suffer from moral and spiritual decay. The poem is a lamentation over the devastations of the war, which left people with nothing except mourning the dead. It is also a sour commentary over the loss of moral values, the embracing of bestial way of life and the discrediting of traditional wisdom and values.

The book will attempt to read, analyze and interpret three texts by Virginia Woolf: A Room of One¿s Own, Three Guineas and Mrs Dalloway in a material context where power and resistance stand in a dynamic relation where they almost mutually reinforce one another. In particular, it will reflect upon the construction of women involved in the process of reinventing themselves in the novels of Virginia Woolf in the light of ¿material¿ feminism because of the paramount importance it had on Woolf¿s vision and creativity. I wish to thank to my family; my mother Huriye Dimililer and my father Yahya Dimililer. Thank you for being with me and helping my life. Without the support of my family, it would be impossible. Ahmet Güneyli¿s assistance have also been greatly appreciated. I wish to dedicate this book to my son; Efe Yahya K¿sac¿k.

This study examines the relationship between war and postcolonial identity in a range of African and American literature. This inquiry focuses on twentieth century ¿literature of the displaced author¿, as expressed in fictional writings which show the ways personal trauma are reflective of collective experience. This study explores the ways a number of indicative postcolonial writers have presented psychological and political consequences of post-war trauma across generations. It argues that World War I and World War II have had a profound impact on shaping the way life has been lived as seen in work by African writers such as Chinua Achebe, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, and Doris Lessing, and Americans, such as Saul Bellow, Don DeLillo, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko, and John Edgar Wideman. The argument proposes a method for reading canonical texts of postcolonial writers as narratives of protest, transgression, and regeneration.

Bildung (self-formation) is neglected in our era of modernity. Technique and the forces of production preoccupy the individual, robbing one of essential freedom to develop oneself and express one¿s uniqueness. Runhild Roeder recommends we assert our freedom, as artists do, to allow the ontological ground of truth to emerge in philosophy and every day life. She emphasizes that only in freedom can we demonstrate originality and consideration for each other. ¿Truth is an event.¿ (Gadamer) Between individuals, the social yarn can be rewoven in hermeneutic dialogue to counteract disenchantment that our humanity is suffering from due to a blind move towards technology. It is the irrepressible human spirit, at once universal and particular, that fulfils the task of Bildung in each context we find ourselves in.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology for wireless information exchange over short distances. Even though the technology itself was invented about 40 years ago, recent development in the field of low cost RFID devices began to finally show its potential. The possibility of adding (minimal) computing capabilities to every day¿s objects will support the development of ubiquitous computing in the near future. Applying RFID transponders to consumer goods will be common, creating an ever-present computing environment spanning all parts of every day¿s life. Today RFID commerce already constitutes a vital and ever-expanding market. Judging by evidence from recent years, RFID industry will continue its rapid growth during the following years. In such a developing market security and privacy become increasingly important. They define security as a composite of the attributes confidentiality, integrity and availability (also called CIA).In this context, confidentiality means the absence of unauthorized information disclosure.

The veils always hide the most culturally sensitive, invisible to the eye, magic and intimate reality. The main challenge of the postmodern philosopher or essayist is to go beyond these veils and look. This is a streamative thinking that uncovers itself during the transitional crisis periods of culture and the very genre of this book is displaying the patterned reality from underneath these veils -an imaginary exhibition of the streamates.

Roads and infrastructure will be faced with multiple changes over the coming decades ¿ challenges that in many ways bear little resemblance to those previously faced and as such will require new approaches. The major objective of this abstract is to transform the way road infrastructure is conceived and constructed as a key part of assisting society to respond to climatic changes and reduce other environmental pressures. Concrete asphalt possess a challenge of environment pollution by producing gases that contribute to the effect of global warming. Concrete creates hard surfaces which contribute to surface run-off that cause soil erosion, water pollution and flooding. The surface-runoff of water tend to pick up gasoline, motor oil, heavy metals, trash and other pollutants. Asphalt darkened nature also contribute to Urban heat island. Urban heat island is a city or a metropolitan area that is significantly warmer than in surrounding rural areas due to human activities. The temperature difference is usually larger at night than during the day. The main cause of urban heat island is from the modification of land surfaces which use materials that effectively store short-wave radiation.

The isolation of Qatar by its Gulf Cooperation Council members and Egypt emerged just days after Trump¿s visit to Riyadh, during which he has a sudden close relationship with Saudi Arabia. Thus, this study attempts to investigate the potential impact of Donald Trump¿s nascent foreign policy towards the Gulf crisis of 2017. It aims to analyze the roots of the GCC crisis, and focus on the outrages and the real damage that have defined Trump¿s approach to foreign policy towards Qatar. Therefore, a qualitative method was adopted, and all the data collected are analyzed using a descriptive and analytical approach. At last, this research shows that no matter the surreptitious motives that are declared about Qatar¿s blockade, Trump has been the crisis center of gravity from the beginning of the actions of the blockading countries. Hence, Trump¿s lack of coherent policy in the Middle East comes with real costs and has pushed the region further away from strategic equilibrium and toward greater state fragmentation and conflict between Gulf States.

This book explores Toni Morrison¿s strategic negotiation of the essentialism/anti-essentialism dialectic regarding the representation of African American female subjectivity, the rewriting of African American history, and the re-appropriation of African American musical aesthetics in fiction. It also examines how Morrison¿s dual-stance positioning demonstrates the conscious strategy of achieving the double goal of recovering African American and female voices as well as of critiquing hegemonic cultural logics about race and gender. The book argues that the motivations behind Morrison¿s dialectic accommodation of the two stances in her fiction, namely The Bluest Eye, Sula, ¿Recitatif¿, Jazz, and Paradise, are related to her strategic positioning that offers fruitful possibilities for mediating affirmations of difference and the necessity of racial, gender and cultural group politics.

The expression "American dream" is utilized as a part of numerous ways, however, it basically is a thought that proposes that anybody in the US can succeed through diligent work and can possibly lead a cheerful, effective life. Numerous people have acquired or refined the definition to integrate things, for example, flexibility, satisfaction and significant connections. Someone who figures out how to execute his or her form of the American dream is frequently supposed to be "going through the fantasy." This estimate has been liable to feedback, on the grounds that some individuals assume that the social organization of society in the US turned away such an optimistic objective for everybody. Critics regularly indicate illustrations of imbalance established in class, race, religious belief and ethnicity that recommend that the American dream is not workable for everybody. The American Dream has served as a template for the way we regularly imagine the path of our lifetimes. The criteria of the diversion are extraordinary, as will be the bargain that is impinged on. For those willing to warp down and exploit their chances, there is the desire of a thriving and satisfying life.
