The New America: Biden Off More Than He Can Chew by Jon Robert Quinn 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Why did I write this book? Because sometimes things need to be said and sadly in this world we live in today, we are being silenced. In this book, I get into the Plandemic. This idea that we had to shut down our entire world for a 99.75% recovery rate. We get into racism in America and why the media is fuelling the rage. We also discuss why the government is bribing Americans in to socialism through stimulus and tax incentives. These are scary times and we must take America back before it's too late.

Today the UNHCR is present in more than 130 countries and takes care of some 90 million people. This book looks at how it is deployed and who its agents are. By taking the reader through the offices in charge of the Afghan refugee crisis during the 2000s, in Geneva and in Kabul, the book shows the internal functioning of this international organization. It provides analysis of Afghan refugee policies from an original position, with the author being both agency official and anthropologist, and articulates multiple levels of analysis: the micropolitics of practices as much as the institution and the multi-scalar power relations that shape its environment.

The Distinction of Peace: A Social Analysis of Peacebuilding (Configurations: Critical Studies Of World Politics) by Catherine Goetze 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"Peacebuilding" serves as a catch-all term to describe efforts by an array of international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and agencies of foreign states to restore or construct a peaceful society in the wake -- or even in the midst -- of conflict. Despite this variety, practitioners consider themselves members of a global profession. In The Distinction of Peace, Catherine Goetze investigates the genesis of peacebuilding as a professional field of expertise since the 1960s, its increasing influence, and the ways it reflects global power structures. Goetze describes how the peacebuilding field came into being, how it defines who belongs to it and who does not, and what kind of group culture it has generated. Using an innovative methodology, she investigates the motivations of individuals who become peacebuilders, their professional trajectories and networks, and the "good peacebuilder" as an ideal. For many, working in peacebuilding in various ways -- as an aid worker ...

Problematic: The Psychology of Social Justice Fanaticism by Ryan Rogers 4.0 Stars (6 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

For most Americans it can be confusing the first time you hear that gardening is racist or that men can have babies. But most of us realize that to question these things would bring a world of trouble, so we keep our heads down and our mouths shut. This book delves into the psychology of social justice fanaticism, or as it more commonly called, Wokeness. In this book you will learn how Wokeness mimics several psychological disorders, such as OCD, paranoia, and borderline personality disorder. You will see the social psychology of how the Woke are able to unconsciously dismiss or ignore any information that fails to confirm their worldview. The social justice movement is compared to cults, conspiracy theories, and political fanaticism like communism. This ideology is perhaps most accurately compared to a religion, one where its adherents conduct their rituals loudly to let others know how much holier they are than the unbelievers. After reading this book you will gain a thorough ...

Free Will or Won’t: … are we in charge of our lives or not? by Geoff Canham 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Some claim that modern science has demonstrated that free will is an illusion, while others say that is ridiculous. This book looks at all sides of the subject to find out if we have free will, and if so, how much. What are the arguments for free will and what are the arguments against? What is free will anyway? Do we live in the deterministic world of classical physics or the random world of quantum mechanics? Does free will differentiate us from other animals, or are we all just driven by instinct? Without consciousness we really couldn't have free will, but how far have we come in understanding what consciousness is and how it comes about? Geoff examines the latest findings of neuroscience to find out if our brains are more than just computers programmed by our genes and our environment, addressing the subject in a readable but thorough way.

Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life by Nathan Schneider (University of California Press) 4.4 Stars (3 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. When was the last time you participated in an election for an online group chat or sat on a jury for a dispute about a controversial post? Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and "benevolent dictators for life." In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls "implicit feudalism": a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences of this arrangement matter far beyond online spaces themselves, as feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities' democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian tendencies among politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Using media ...

How To Live In The Moment ("How To" Books) by HTeBooks 3.8 Stars (18 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

How To Live In The Moment? Benjamin Franklin once said, "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of." How right he is. Our lives are always tied to the tiers: past, present, and future. Unfortunately, many people are either hung up on the past they can no longer have, or anxious of the future that is still to come. Too few of us really live in the present. We squander the time meant for the present on the past and future. It's a corporate world we live in, with money and numbers zigzagging around our atmosphere. We're hardly living, and merely existing. It doesn't help either that our film industry has sought to keep producing zombie films. Perhaps the zombies are us? This eBook will show you some ideas and ways on how you can train yourself to live in the present, to actually live in the now. You will learn ways to unclutter your thoughts, to stand still but fulfilled in a busy world, and to take charge of your life. So, brace yourself, ...

Hundreds of thousands of them died, needlessly, as this orange pile of fecal matter scared his deplorable cult against masks, vaccinations, and social distancing... all while telling them to inject bleach, stick UV lights up their butts and whatever other random thing he probably saw on YouTube while surfing the internet while on the toilet. This book is a funny and sad look into what happens when the dumbest of us are given a stage.

Through Prison Bars: The Lives and Labours of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry by William H. Render 3.8 Stars (22 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A fascinating look -- first published in 1894 -- at two philanthropists known as the "Prisoner's Friends" and the early history of prison reform. Prisons in England were once dark, inhumane places lacking any regulations. The facilities were poorly managed and unsanitary, and prisoners were treated like animals. One man and one woman, the "Prisoner's Friends," sought to change that. Through Prison Bars is an in-depth account of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry and their work in the prison reform movement in Great Britain and Europe that began in the eighteenth century and continued into the nineteenth. Author William H. Render explores their childhoods and family lives, deeply spiritual backgrounds -- Howard was a Calvinist while Fry was a dedicated Quaker -- and early days in prison philanthropy, as well as what motivated them to get involved in the first place: Howard's early days as the high sheriff of Bedfordshire and Fry's visit to the women's prison at Newgate in London. ...

Above the Clouds: Artful Musings on Civics by Isabella Berdyna Zysk Price verified 2 hours ago

Above the Clouds: Artful Musings on Civics presents four pieces of allegorical art and a brief discussion of the civic virtues that they represent: Peacefulness, Purposefulness, Integrity, and Courage. While there are many qualities of character that the leaders of any country might consider essential for fostering civic competence and responsibility among their citizenry, I consider these four to be foundational. The allegories are each presented in three layers: Flora, Fauna, and Flowerbabies. While you may smile at the sweetness of the Flowerbabies, they represent us, the citizens, in our capacity to "bloom" in positive character attributes. The Fauna is a spirit totem animal that animates the theme of the attribute, and the Flora is the background that supports the theme. While the allegorical art is simple, I hope it will encourage readers to think about the important role they each play as citizens. Note: The art is created through digital manipulation of license-free ...

What Faith is Not: The Evils of Doctrine by Pieter Schoonraad Price verified 4 hours ago

Individual religious people can find meaning and purpose in their given religion and find that its doctrine provides them with a blueprint for how to live a moral and righteous life. It can be argued that, on a micro-scale, faith in a god has helped some people be less shitty and forced them to play nice with others. It can further be argued that for the individual, religious institutions have helped them through some tough times and provided necessary support when they needed it most. Another opinion is religions and their doctrines are fundamental tools that help people govern their lives. Whatever god you believe in, sits at the top and influences the rest of your beliefs and actions. A top-down influence on your moral behavior and day-to-day choices. To state it plainly; it tells people what not to do, and what is okay to do. The doctrine of the religion then becomes the rulebook for the religious and when they are in doubt they can consult a religious leader about it. The ...

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. Though organizational scholarship traces its intellectual lineage from a diversity of sources, there is little doubt that in recent years a key divide has emerged amongst organization scholars and sociologists. For many, if not most, it has become unclear what role sociology is supposed to play in organization studies. Against this backdrop, the editors of Sociological Thinking in Contemporary Organizational Scholarship ask: what is "organizational sociology" today? This pathbreaking volume explores the new boundaries of organizational sociology to identify, discuss and challenge sociology's genuine contribution to organization studies. Mapping a community of scholars that transcends disciplinary limitations, chapters follow one simple epistemic logic: society happens in, between, across and around organizations. Breathing fresh life into a once lively dialogue on the social nature, characteristics ...

As a five year old boy, I witnessed the horrors of war first hand during the 1965 war between India and Pakistan. Because my father was assigned to the Headquarters of Pakistan army, we lived on the base and faced relentless air attacks from the Indian air force. Seeing the devastation and death caused by war made me develop a deep rooted hatred for Indians. I wanted to grow up and join the Pakistani army and kill as many Indians as I could. Fate would have it that I never joined the military and ended up coming to the US for higher education instead. When I arrived in America, I met a Sikh from India named Kulbir Singh who did everything possible to be my friend, while I did my best to not like him due to the hatred I had in my heart towards Indians. But Kulbir made it impossible for me to hate him because he was such a wonderful person; so selfless, loving and a true friend. I was forced to reevaluate my feelings towards the Indians and I realized that our military was killing them ...

Theorising Justice: A Primer for Social Scientists by Johanna Ohlsson (Bristol University Press) 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Bringing together divergent approaches to justice theorising, this volume connects normative and philosophical theories with the more empirically focused approaches emerging today in the social and political sciences and policy scholarship. The chapters overview a variety of mainstream approaches and radical critiques of justice to illustrate their value in addressing the pressing problems of climate change and economic development. Stressing the value of assessing justice theories in light of the material conditions of our changing world, the book concludes with an in-depth synthesis of how these wide ranging approaches to justice will be useful for students, scholars and practitioners concerned with realising justice.

Pandemicide by David J. Bookbinder 3.9 Stars (27 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

What if the Trump administration's mishandling of the pandemic was not indifferent, incompetent, chaotic, or any of the other explanations offered by mainstream media? What if, instead, everything went according to plan? In this urgent analysis of the U.S. pandemic response, Bookbinder, a psychotherapist, uses the tools of his trade not to diagnose Trump, but to expose the motivations behind his administration's catastrophic handling of the pandemic. Bookbinder builds the case, brick by brick, that Trump & Company intentionally encouraged the virus' spread so that the people who are still dying disproportionately from COVID-19 - Blacks, Latinxs, Indigenous people, and the elderly, sick, and imprisoned - would continue to die. He calls it pandemicide. Using these same therapist tools, Bookbinder goes on to show how pandemicide fits into Trumpism's larger agenda: To move from nascent fascism to a fully realized Fascism 2.0. The essay ends with a call to action around what we need to ...

Water and Politics: Clientelism and Reform in Urban Mexico by Veronica Herrera 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified one hour 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.

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) 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 5 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 ...

Creation vs. Evolution - The Vedic Perspective by Vimal Sehgal B.Tech IIT Delhi 3.6 Stars (32 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Topics are: What is Life? - Life vs. Matter Proof of God's existence Evolution Evolution of consciousness Moral implications In this book I have given the Vedic theory of Life which incorporates consciousness as the primary characteristic of life. I have given a scientific analysis of what life is and described the characteristics of both Life and Matter and their points of similarity and distinction. I have discussed evolution and then described an alternate theory namely the Vedic theory of evolution of consciousness as opposed to Darwin's theory of evolution of species. The theory of evolution of consciousness is based on creation of various species by God so as to accommodate the varied desires of an infinite number of living beings. The Vedic theory of evolution of consciousness marks the dawning of a new era in which consciousness will come to be incorporated as an essential item in our scientific theories about life and its origin. What is Life? What are the characteristics ...

West African Agriculture and Climate Change by Abdulai Jalloh (International Food Policy Research Institute) 4.7 Stars (4 Reviews)    Price verified 2 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 ...

Yield Gaps and Potential Agricultural Growth in West and Central Africa by Jordan Chamerlin (International Food Policy Research Institute) Price verified 2 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 ...

Atlas of African Agriculture Research & Development: Revealing agriculture's place in Africa by Kate Sebastian (International Food Policy Research Institute) 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

The work of agricultural researchers and development workers in Africa has the potential to significantly improve the lives of the poor. But that potential can only be realized with easy access to high-quality data and information. The Atlas of African Agriculture Research & Development highlights the ubiquitous role of smallholder agriculture in Africa; the many factors shaping the location, nature, and performance of agricultural enterprises; and the strong interdependencies among farming, natural-resource stocks and flows, and the well-being of the poor. Organized around 7 themes, the atlas covers more than 30 topics, each providing mapped geospatial data and supporting text that answers four fundamental questions: What is this map telling us? Why is this important? What about the underlying data? Where can I learn more? The atlas is part of a wide-ranging eAtlas initiative that will showcase, through print and online resources, a variety of spatial data and tools generated and ...

Partisan Rhetoric and Polarization provides context to understand how the partisan split in American politics is reflected and evidenced in even the highest political institutions: Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court.

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (Landmark Video Games) by Bernard Perron (University of Michigan Press) 4.3 Stars (130 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill ...

Not Another Average Guy: An Exemplar For The Modern Man by A.P. Hovsepian 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Every boy needs a strong male figure in their life. Especially in the formative years. And yet, it's no secret that most of us were deprived of this very thing. No one was there to guide, shape and mold us into men. Our fathers may have been around, but few took it upon themselves to teach us what it meant to be a man. As a result, we've all suffered -- both directly and indirectly -- a great deal of unnecessary pain and frustration in adulthood; where life demanded the price of ignorance be paid (with interest!) While time travel is not a viable solution (yet), the next best thing is to learn these lessons now. Not Another Average Guy is an amalgamation of decades of wisdom, forged by trial and error in the midst of life's most difficult struggles; Struggles one too many men had to personally endure. It offers a gift most males crave from a young age: the gift of direction.

Desistance and Children: Critical Reflections from Theory, Research and Practice by Alexandra Wigzell Price verified 5 hours ago

Available open access digitally under CC BY-NC-ND licence. 'Desistance' - understanding how people move away from offending - has become a significant policy focus in recent years, with desistance thinking transplanted from the adult to the youth justice system in England and Wales. This book is the first to critique this approach to justice-involved children, many of whom are yet to fully develop an identity (criminal or otherwise) from which to 'desist'. Featuring voices from academia, policy and practice, this book explores practical approaches to desistance with children in the 'Child First' context. It gives new insights into how children can be supported to move away from offending and proposes reforms to make a meaningful difference to children's lives.

Imagine getting up in the morning and going to work for a company that, just by virtue of the fact that you work for it, you own part of. Imagine that the company's president and other officers have to stand for election every year or two years, and you and all the other employees of the company vote them in or out. Imagine getting an accounting on a quarterly basis of the company's profitability and receiving a payout of your share of those profits - your due as a worker-owner. Imagine that you get tired of working for the company you own part of and decide to strike out on your own.

Human Rights as Mashiach - A Jewish Theology of Human Rights by Shaiya Rothberg (City of Justice Press - Jerusalem) 3.7 Stars (11 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

[This is an E-Essay - About 20 Pages] It happens now and again that powerful new ideas change the course of history. I'm talking about a special class of redemptive ideas that push humanity to a higher stage of evolution, a stage in which we as a species are wiser and more loving and more just than we were before. One such idea was that all human beings are created in the image of God. Another was that faithfulness to God means abolishing slavery. I think that on the cultural horizon of the human species today there is such a new idea, an idea that could help redeem humanity from her present state of exile and destruction. That idea is the theology of human rights. While religion is sometimes the enemy of human dignity, it can also be a powerful force for its protection. When John Woolman, an American Quaker born in 1720, began preaching that faithfulness to God requires abolishing slavery, he ignited a religious passion that helped facilitate the global paradigm shift that ...

Armenophobia in Azerbaijan by Anzhela Elibegova 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The idea of this book came after the presentation of Azeri?hild project which represented a systematized compilation of works by Azerbaijani authors intended for children audiences along with a series of examples of works created by children themselves, which gave a clear demonstration of the gap between the real situation in the Azerbaijani society about anything relating to Armenia and the declared tolerance for diversity of cultures and religions. Naturally enough, we tend to label this hatred as armenophobia often without full awareness of the pivotal role it plays in shaping the ethnic identity of Azerbaijanis; such hatred channeled against all that pertains to Armenia stands as the nemesis of their psychological model and fuels the juxtaposition of us vs. them which is fraught with repercussions for Azerbaijanis themselves. The large archive compiled by the authors of this book a) serves as a thesaurus for an analysis of ongoing processes in the Azerbaijani society and ...
