Paperback. Condition: New. This Element is a concise, high-level introduction to the philosophy of physical symmetry. It begins with the notion of 'physical representation' (the kind of empirical representation of nature that we effect in doing physics), and then lays out the historically and conceptually central case of physical symmetry that frequently falls under the rubric of 'the Relativity Principle,' or 'Galileo's Ship.' This material is then used as a point of departure to explore the key hermeneutic challenge concerning physical symmetry in the past century, namely understanding the physical significance of the notion of 'local' gauge symmetry. The approach taken stresses both the continuity with historically important themes such as the Relativity Principle, as well as novel insights earned by working with contemporary representational media such as the covariant phase space formalism.…

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 163 pp., illustrations, bibliography. This book looks at the application of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) on the First Peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. The UNDRIP ascribes many rights to the Orang Asli as an indigenous people. However, despite Malaysia adopting this declaration, there is an enormous gap between what the UNDRIP aspires for indigenous peoples and what the reality is for the Orang Asli. This book traces the fate of the Orang Asli in history and explains how they came to be in their present situation. The topics include: (1) The Orang Asli as a people; (2) Orang Asli rights in the Constitution and the courts; (3) The Government of Malaysia and the UNDRIP; (4) The issue of non-recognition as indigenous peoples; and (4) Gaps in the application of the UNDRIP. …
