Young Refugees and Forced Displacement
Young Refugees and Forced Displacement is about young Syrian and Iraqi refugees navigating the complex realities of forced displacement in Beirut. It is based on a British Academy funded two-year project with 51 displaced youths aged 8 to 17 and under the care of three local humanitarian organisations. Focus groups, interviews and innovative arts-based methods were used to learn about their everyday lives. At the end of the project, we coproduced with them a public mural, allowing unexpected epistemological and methodological reflections on researching refugees and the "right to opacity." Families and friendships, humanitarian caregiving, racism, discrimination and everyday decencies and civilities make up the stuff of their ordinary, everyday encounters within refugeedom, defining both its sharper edges and its more inadvertent and quietly political ones. Thus, refugeedom, as we conceive it, includes "the humanitarian condition" but goes a little beyond it, to become also a human condition of political alterity. In navigating refugeedom, the young Syrians and Iraqis become sophisticated political and moral actors, using emotional reflexivity as they engage layered subjectivities to define the terms of their own forced displacement. This book will be of interest to policymakers, humanitarian organisations, social science scholars and students working on refugees, displacement, humanitarianism, intimacies and emotions, racism and discrimination. It may also be of interest to displaced youth.

Internet Dating
Internet Dating deals primarily with the experiences of UK and Australian daters, examining their online accounts to see what kinds of narratives, norms, emotions and 'chemistry' shape their dating.Has the emergence and growth of internet dating changed the dating landscape for the better? Most commentators, popular and academic, ask whether online dating is more efficient for individuals than offline dating. We prefer a socio-political perspective. In particular, the book illustrates the extent to which internet dating can advance gender and sexual equality. Drawing on the voices of internet daters themselves, we show that internet dating reveals how social change often arises in the unassuming, everyday and familiar. We also pay attention to often ignored older daters and include consideration of daters in Africa, Scandinavia, South America, Asia and the Middle East. Throughout, we explore the pitfalls and pleasures of men and women daters navigating unconventional directions towards more equitable social relations.

Operating Systems
An operating system is a system software that allows a user to interact with the system hardware. It acts as a bridge between the two and is responsible for hardware functions such as input, output, memory allocation and system security. Operating systems are categorized into batch systems, real-time systems, multi-user systems, time-sharing systems and single-user systems. This classification is based upon the accessibility of the system by the user and sequence of job execution. Every successful operating system design fulfils the user goal of being reliable, safe, and fast. It should also be easy to implement and maintain. Designing an operating system is a rigorous task which requires intricate knowledge of various fields such as networking, hardware, machine language, etc. Most of the operating systems today are designed using high level languages such as C++ and Java. They offer certain benefits since the code can be written faster and is easier to understand, making it easier to debug. Also, the code can be moved easily from one hardware to another. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of operating systems. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theories related to operating system design. This textbook will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Heterosexuality in Theory and Practice
This book improves the context of critical inquiry into human sexualities and social change. Contributing to broader debates about sexualities, and to knowledge concerning the nature and experience of heterosexualities, it envisages possibilities for theorizing and practicing heterosexuality in more liberatory ways, and relates this analysis to significant debates in gender/sexuality studies and associated policy positions concerning domination-equality, conformity-diversity and normativity-subversion.
