Beginning and concluding his work with a detailed examination of the Yugoslav killing fields and explicitly rejecting the notion that Balkan peoples are somehow predisposed to violence, Bennett also provides a concise and accessible history of Yugoslavia, tracing Slavic culture and politics through the world wars and the age of Tito.

Two decades after the Dayton Peace Agreement came into force, Bosnia is not at war. However, the absence of war is not peace. Bosnia has failed to move on from conflict. Political processes are deadlocked. The country is in a state of political, social and economic paralysis. As the international community has downgraded its presence, conditions have deteriorated, irredentist agendas have resurfaced and the outlook is increasingly negative. War remains a risk because of myriad unresolved issues, zero-sum politics and incompatible positions among rival ethno-national elites. In this work, Christopher Bennett presents a cautionary political history of Bosnia's disintegration, war and peace process. He concludes by proposing a paradigm shift aimed at building ethno-national security and making the peace settlement self-sustaining.

What is morality? How do we define what is right and wrong? How does moral theory help us deal with ethical issues in the world around us? This second edition provides an engaging and stimulating introduction to philosophical thinking about morality. Christopher Bennett provides the reader with accessible examples of contemporary and relevant ethical problems, before looking at the main theoretical approaches and key philosophers associated with them. Topics covered include: life and death issues such as abortion and global poverty; the meaning of life; whether life is sacred and which lives matter; major moral theories such as utilitarianism, Kantian ethics and virtue ethics;critiques of morality from Marx and Nietzsche. What is this Thing Called Ethics? has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, with a new final chapter on meta-ethics. With boxed case studies, discussion questions and further reading included within each chapter this textbook is the ideal introduction to ethics for philosophy students coming to the subject for the first time.

It has been suggested that CMOS technologies will hit scaling limits due to fundamental design issues at the regime of molecular electronics. In this project, the memristor device has been evaluated as a candidate for building high-density, high-performance computers at such a scale. Although memristors are already under active research and development as random access memory, in this project, we evaluate their potential for neuromorphic (brain-inspired) information processing in the context of reservoir computing. We quan- tify a memristor network's capability to analyze sets of time-dependent input data for pattern recognition applications. We pose the following key question: given a network of a certain design, which signals might it be particularly adept at recognizing? To answer that question, a rigorous mathematical approach has been developed and implemented as computer software. Our preliminary results indicate that the conceptual approach that has been developed can be used to answer this question, and suggest that memristor networks are capable of real-time pattern recognition.
