Nazis & Reds: A Chronology of the Prewar Years (The Protocols Book 1) by Robert Sterling Herron Price verified 3 hours ago

Nazis & Reds: A Chronology of the Prewar Years is the first book in a historical series, The Protocols. The first book traces the rise of authoritarianism in the modern world, from the Industrial Revolution to the beginning of World War II. The series places a focused spotlight on the concurrent decline of traditional forms of government and institutions, such as monarchies and the Church, with the rise of alternative ideologies, like communism, fascism, environmentalism, and democracy -- the decline and rise driven by the exigencies of the new age: by new forms of energy, including both fuel and motive power, like coal and steam; by the advent of new machines that increased or replaced the productivity of a single woman or man, like the spinning jenny; by new basic materials, chiefly iron and steel; by new means of transportation and communication, like railroads, radio, automobiles, and the telephone; and by a new organization of work, the factory system, and the resultant division of labor and specializing of function in the work place. The Industrial Age also gave birth to mass production, extended life spans, urbanization, multiculturalism, increased immigration, a vast and disproportionate distribution of wealth; and demands for better pay and treatment by workers, for a fairer distribution wealth, services, and goods; and the decline in relevancy of traditional customs, gender roles, values and faith. The result has often been confusion, marginalization, anger, and despair -- and the rise of individuals offering a way to get back -- to a better, simpler life -- often a pre-Industrial Revolution world where everyone knew their place. Like all the books in the series, Nazis & Reds is composed of excerpts taken from a diverse range of sources, including memoirs, combat situation reports, speeches, diaries, radio broadcasts, news articles, and other historical documents selected not only for their ability to illustrate the past, but for their relevance in terms ...

Water and Politics: Clientelism and Reform in Urban Mexico by Veronica Herrera (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Most of the world's population lives in cities in developing countries, where access to basic public services, such as water, electricity, and health clinics, is either inadequate or sorely missing. Water and Politics shows how politicians benefit politically from manipulating public service provision for electoral gain. In many young democracies, politicians exchange water service for votes or political support, rewarding allies or punishing political enemies. Surprisingly, the political problem of water provision has become more pronounced, as water service represents a valuable political currency in resource-scarce environments. Water and Politics finds that middle-class and industrial elites play an important role in generating pressure for public service reforms.

Let's face it: Occasionally there may be a valid reason for you to feel jealous and resentful because of something that your partner did (or failed to do). Unfortunately, this jealousy in turn affects and strains your relationship. But even worse are situations when the jealousy actually stems from your own feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. Too often, an otherwise healthy relationship is completely wrecked by too many suspicions and failing trust or faith in the other partner. All because of baseless and unfounded fits of jealousy.

In this book you will find the help you're looking for, including assistance in developing the skills needed to help you understand the reality of your situation through a new perspective; tactics to help you rebuild your relationship and put it on the right path; guidelines for letting go of jealousy once and for all; and tips for sustaining a healthy relationship to ensure future success.

Queen of the Hill by Glenn Allen Hall (3 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

America is in turmoil. The only time the United States Congress ever seems to come together in bipartisan cooperation is in the dereliction of their duties. The first Native American woman has won the vice presidency of the Unites States of America and is hell bent on returning the power back to the people by all means necessary. Fighting her own demons and the crippling weight of her substance abuse following an assassination attempt, she is determined to expose the truth. The American people will finally see for themselves the evil that resides within the walls of the United States Capitol, and witness first hand the brutal price the members of congress will pay for their treachery. A million angry fists thrust into the air in response to her exalted words. A roar of liberation reverberated off of every wall and every structure for miles around. Even the few people watching from the pinnacle of the Washington Monument could feel the percussion of the collective cheer. Passion was at its absolute apex and the president knew it was time to unleash the power of the masses upon the corrupt. The peasants have finally been driven to an act of desperate retaliation. With the help of the president, the American collective had finally realized that their country no longer belonged to them. The glorious nation of yesteryear had been slowly stolen from them, bit by bit and decade after decade. Time passed too slowly to fully sense the political larceny of the oppressors. Generations of Americans had plenty of opportunities to grumble over each lump of liberty that was surgically amputated from the body of society. First the heart and then the soul, removed with such skill and precision that hardly an eyebrow was raised, until even those too were gone, collected and frozen in stasis by those who yearned for the power of the gods. Those were the individuals who had the clairvoyance to know that if they were not the wolves, then they were doomed to be forever lost among the ...

Nihilist by Hey Guy Hues (2 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

I wrote Nihilist while still a young father. I had an experience in college (described in the 9th poem) that left an impression. The experience connected me with ideas on nihilism I was already exploring (also touched on in eDialogues). Somewhere along the way, I stumbled across I Ching and realized poems were a better way of expressing the experience and ideas that still mostly lingered beyond my grasp. Years later, I cleaned up these older writings. The collection is now a blend of youthful energy and measured reflection. Below are a couple excerpts to give you a sense of the work. I hope you enjoy. Preface: "The rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless." Nihilism is a young word burdened with a frightening definition. The excerpt displayed above is from any number of online dictionaries. The use of negative words like "rejection" and "meaningless" hamper the meaning with the emotions of someone else. Nihilism is the freedom beneath. The negative words of a lexicographer suggest difficulty in accepting this freedom. However, the path to acceptance may not be as arduous as suggested. And, like most great journeys, the other side may be worth the effort. 1 a forest small sought vainly to attain the far horizon she stretched and reached and grew and sought this end with clear devotion then came the day she recognized the folly of her aim and a terrible sadness overcame her until a sparrow whispered friend take from the sky your distant gaze and cast instead upon yourself the forest small did as was said she forced her distant gaze to turn and look upon herself and gasped for she had vast become and wondrous to behold 2 a woman wise was brought before the fountain of sweet youth and hesitated not to drink explained she to her kindly host a door is promised at the end of this our mortal life no human knows what might await us on the other side but I this journey know quite well and if I ...

Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (Literatures, Cultures, and the Environment) by Matthias Klestil (Palgrave Macmillan) (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This open access book suggests new ways of reading nineteenth-century African American literature environmentally. Combining insights from ecocriticism, African American studies, and Foucauldian theory, Matthias Klestil examines forms of environmental knowledge in African American writing ranging from antebellum slave narratives and pamphlets to Charlotte Forten's journals, Booker T. Washington's autobiographies, and Charles W. Chesnutt's short fiction. The volume highlights how literary forms of environmental knowledge in the African American tradition were shaped by the histories of slavery and race, mainstream environmental writing traditions, and African American forms of expression and intertextuality. Turning to the Underground Railroad, debates over education and home-building, and the aesthetics of the pastoral and the georgic, Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature provides an original perspective on the African American ecoliterary traditionthat uncovers new facets of canonical and understudied texts and offers new directions for ecocriticism and African American studies.

The Italian Diaspora in South Africa: Nostalgia, Identity, and Belonging in the Second and Third Generations (Routledge Studies in Development, ... by Maria Chiara Marchetti-Mercer (Routledge) (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This book investigates the experiences of second- and third-generation Italians living in South Africa, exploring how nostalgia for Italy influences their sense of identity and belonging. The Italian community in South Africa is a unique diaspora, with a complex history, including roots in Italian colonial activities in Africa, and in World War II. This book looks at how the descendants of these early migrants take pride in being Italian and value the Italian language. They also ascribe much importance to their family roots, and have often created a romanticized image of Italy, mostly based on childhood vacation visits. The longing for an imaginary idealized version of Italy is closely linked to their wider search for a sense of identity and belonging against the backdrop of South African society, currently still grappling with its own multicultural identity. Interdisciplinary by design, this book draws on insights from both cultural studies and psychology in order to shine a light on an important and under-studied diasporic community. The book will be of interest to scholars from across migration studies and the Humanities in general.

1984 by George Orwell (681 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

In George Orwell's iconic and prophetic masterpiece, "1984," a haunting vision of a dystopian future unfolds. Set in a world dominated by the all-seeing eye of Big Brother, the story follows Winston Smith, a lowly Party member whose very thoughts are scrutinized. As the Party manipulates history and suppresses truth, Winston's yearning for individuality and connection pushes him into a daring dance on the edge of rebellion. Amidst the grim landscape of thoughtcrime and doublethink, Winston embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his autonomy and expose the suffocating control of the Party. Battling against the erasure of memory and the distortion of reality, he discovers the power of love, resistance, and the indomitable human spirit. Orwell's gripping narrative thrusts readers into a world where freedom is fragile and the battle for truth is relentless. As Winston navigates the treacherous labyrinth of deception, "1984" becomes a riveting exploration of the nature of authority, the manipulation of information, and the unbreakable will to resist. A cautionary tale as relevant today as it was upon its publication, "1984" is a chilling reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of defending the sanctity of thought and expression. Orwell's searing prose and visionary storytelling combine to create a timeless work that continues to challenge, inspire, and provoke introspection.

West African Agriculture and Climate Change by Abdulai Jalloh (International Food Policy Research Institute) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The first of three books in IFPRI's climate change in Africa series, West African Agriculture and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis examines the food security threats facing 11 of the countries that make up West Africa -- Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo -- and explores how climate change will increase the efforts needed to achieve sustainable food security throughout the region. West Africa's population is expected to grow at least through mid-century. The region will also see income growth. Both will put increased pressure on the natural resources needed to produce food, and climate change makes the challenges greater. West Africa is already experiencing rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and increasing extreme events. Without attention to adaptation, the poor will suffer. Through the use of hundreds of scenario maps, models, figures, and detailed analysis, the editors and contributors of West African Agriculture and Climate Change present plausible future scenarios that combine economic and biophysical characteristics to explore the possible consequences for agriculture, food security, and resources management to 2050. They also offer recommendations to national governments and regional economic agencies already dealing with the vulnerabilities of climate change and deviations in environment. Decisionmakers and researchers will find West African Agriculture and Climate Change a vital tool for shaping policy and studying the various and likely consequences of climate change.

Yield Gaps and Potential Agricultural Growth in West and Central Africa by Jordan Chamerlin (International Food Policy Research Institute) Price verified 3 hours ago

The authors identify a set of development priorities for agriculture that cut across West Africa at both the country and regional levels to achieve economywide growth goals in the region. To do this we adopt a modeling and analytical framework that involves the integration of spatial analysis to identify yield gaps determining the growth potential of different agricultural activities for areas with similar conditions and an economywide multimarket model to simulate ex ante the economic effects of closing these yield gaps. Results indicate that the greatest agriculture-led growth opportunities in West Africa reside in staple crops (cereals and roots and tubers) and livestock production. Contributing the most to agricultural growth in the Sahel are livestock, rice, coarse grains, and oilseeds (groundnuts); in Coastal countries, staple crops such as cassava, yams, and cereal seems to be relatively more important than other subsectors; and in Central Africa livestock and root crops are the sources of growth with highest potential. Results also point toward an essential range of policies and investments that are needed to stimulate the productivity growth of prioritized activities. These include developing opportunities for regional cooperation on technology adaptation and diffusion, strengthening regional agricultural markets, exploiting opportunities for greater regional cooperation and harmonization, diversifying traditional markets, and enhancing linkages between agricultural and nonagricultural sectors.
