Croatian Radical Separatism and Diaspora Terrorism During the Cold War (Central European Studies) by Mate Nikola Tokić (3 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Croatian Radical Separatism and Diaspora Terrorism During the Cold War examines one of the most active but least remembered groups of terrorists of the Cold War: radical anti-Yugoslav Croatian separatists. Operating in countries as widely dispersed as Sweden, Australia, Argentina, West Germany, and the United States, Croatian extremists were responsible for scores of bombings, numerous attempted and successful assassinations, two guerilla incursions into socialist Yugoslavia, and two airplane hijackings during the height of the Cold War. In Australia alone, Croatian separatists carried out no less than sixty-five significant acts of violence in one ten-year period. Diaspora Croats developed one of the most far-reaching terrorist networks of the Cold War and, in total, committed on average one act of terror every five weeks worldwide between 1962 and 1980. Toki? focuses on the social and political factors that radicalized certain segments of the Croatian diaspora population during the Cold War and the conditions that led them to embrace terrorism as an acceptable form of political expression. At its core, this book is concerned with the discourses and practices of radicalization -- the ways in which both individuals and groups who engage in terrorism construct a particular image of the world to justify their actions. Drawing on exhaustive evidence from seventeen archives in ten countries on three continents -- including diplomatic communiqués, political pamphlets and manifestos, manuals on bomb-making, transcripts of police interrogations of terror suspects, and personal letters among terrorists -- Toki? tells the comprehensive story of one of the Cold War's most compelling global political movements.

I highly recommend this book for its powerful and descriptive writing style." Marilou "I have read many survivor stories relating to WWII, however not anything like this. Though the author declares the people are not real... I was so engrossed throughout the entire novel, it certainly FELT as though each and every character was sitting in the room with me and telling me their story, word for word! What an amazing debut novel." Holly J. Mulrooney "What a splendid writer, what a story... If you have read her tales of Olivia and Mourning Free, she will not disappoint you with this (I think earlier) book. I was spellbound for four days. Still am."

Wolfkind by Stephen Melling (148 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

WOLFKIND In Los Angeles the question on everyone's lips... "Who is the Invisible Assassin?" The elusive hit man who has the authorities baffled, the general public intrigued and the local gangland highbrows hiding behind razor wire and hi-tec weaponry. With the city's second most powerful crime family slaughtered, Joshua Grenire is pressed into action by his mentor, Max Barlow: hunt and kill the assassin. Though burdened by social inexperience and the crushing responsibility of his mission, he is at the same time buoyed with child-like wonder at the prospect of finally interacting with ordinary people. Once in L.A. Joshua infiltrates the Durant crime syndicate and acquaints himself with the mobster's spirited civilian daughter, Genna Delucio. He finds himself breaking one of the rules by falling for the girl. While after nightfall he searches coldly for the assassin, during daylight hours he steals time to explore the simple rites of passage that long-term seclusion has denied him. In a modern society blood-stained with intolerance and prejudice, street violence and contract killing, Invisible Assassin is a story about love and innocence struggling against the corrupting nature of power. Novel length 213 pages "Good story and good read, well-managed conclusion with all the right things happening in the right order.

Nice that Barlow did what he did for the best, but harm still came of it... quite a subtle and truthful-feeling outcome."...

Revisiting Migrant Networks: Migrants and their Descendants in Labour Markets (IMISCOE Research Series) by Elif Keskiner (Springer) Price verified 6 hours ago

This open access book provides new conceptualisations on the networks of migrants and their descendants in accessing the labour market. Although references to social networks are common in discussions of migration, simplified ideas of co-ethnic networks often obscure the reality, for example confounding ties with co-ethnics and 'strong ties'. This open access book addresses key questions about the role of networks in migration contexts, particularly in relation to how migrants and their descendants, access the labour market and develop their employment trajectories over time. Rather than adopting a narrow essentializing ethnic lens, the research presented in this book explores intersectional identities of class, generation and gender. By focusing on the kinds of capital circulating between ties, including the dark side of social capital, the book offers insights into power dynamics and the potentially exclusionary dimension of networks. Taking a long term view, across generations, the research in this book shows how migrants and their descendants mobilize resources to tackle discrimination and enhance their position within particular labour markets. Drawing on robust quantitative and rich qualitative data, this book provides a primary source to students, scholars and policy-makers focusing on issues of migration, social networks, social mobility as well as labour market inequalities.

Reichenbach’s Paradise: Constructing the Realm of Probabilstic Common “Causes” by Leszek Wronski (De Gruyter Open Poland) (7 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Since its introduction by Hans Reichenbach, many philosophers have claimed to refute the idea - known as the common cause principle - that any surprising correlation between any two factors that do not directly influence one another is due to some common cause. For example, falsity of the principle is frequently inferred from falsifiability of Bell's inequalities. The author demonstrates, however, that the situation is not so straightforward. There is more than one version of the principle formulated with the use of different variants of Reichenbach-inspired notions; their falsity still remains an open question. The book traces different formulations of the principle and provides proofs of a few pertinent theorems, settling the relevant questions in various probability spaces. In exploring mathematical and philosophical issues surrounding the principle, the book offers both philosophical insight and mathematical rigor.

Mobile Hollywood: Labor and the Geography of Production by Kevin Sanson (University of California Press) 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. Contemporary film and television production is extraordinarily mobile. Filming large-scale studio productions in Atlanta, Budapest, London, Prague, or Australia's Gold Coast makes Hollywood jobs available to people and places far removed from Southern California -- but it also requires individuals to uproot their lives as they travel around the world in pursuit of work. Drawing on interviews with a global contingent of film and television workers, Kevin Sanson weaves an analysis of the sheer scale and complexity of mobile production into a compelling account of the impact that mobility has had on job functions, working conditions, and personal lives. Mobile Hollywood captures how an expanded geography of production not only intensifies the often invisible pressures that production workers now face but also stretches the parameters of screen-media labor far beyond craftwork and creativity.

Jātaka Tales: Volume 4: Folk Tales of the Buddha's Previous Lives (Jataka Tales) by Eric Van Horn (Smashwords) (14 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

The J?taka Tales are the Buddhist equivalent of Aesop's Fables. They are morality stories. In the Buddhist cultures of that time, these were the stories that children grew up hearing. They were the popular entertainment of their time. Families would gather together in the evening after the day's work was done and share these tales. And it is from these stories that people learned about the standards of conduct for followers of the Buddha. Like Aesop's Fables, the main characters in these stories can be a king, a merchant, a craftsperson, or an animal. This collection contains stories 151-200 of the 547 total stories. There are a number of stories about friendship. J?taka 157 tells the story of a jackal and a lion whose families stay friends for generations. J?taka 162 tells the story of both good and bad friendship, with the good friendship coming between a black deer, a leopard, a lion, and a tiger. J?taka 190 tells a story of both friendship and deep faith. J?takas 173 - 176 have mischievous monkeys at the heart of the story, but in J?taka 177 a monkey is finally the hero. A monkey named "Senaka" saves his entire tribe by quick thinking. In other J?takas we have tree fairies, elephants, and even people (!). In one story a man is rumored to have become a monk. This inspires him to actually become a monk. In all, these stories represent the breadth of human experience. What we see is that in 2500 years, the spectrum of experiences has not changed at all.

The eNotated Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll (eNotated Classics) (594 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Though most ebooks are simple conversions of paper books, "The eNotated Hunting of the Snark" is a completely new approach that takes advantage of ebook technology by providing comprehensive eNotations (electronic annotations), essays, and background information conveniently accessible through links and a active table of contents. Written by Pam Sowers, researcher, journalist, and long-time "Snark" fan, this background biographical, historical, and interpretive information reveals a "Hunting of the Snark" not visible to most readers. Sowers notes in her introduction that Snark is "a poem that 'describes with infinite humour the impossible journey of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature,'" a kind of "'Odyssey of the Nonsensical'" that "unlike the 'Alice' books, is not intended only for children", adding that "through the decades, 'the poem has continued to attract a small cult following of adult readers.'" Comparing Snark to "Through the Looking Glass," Sowers say "Much of the poem shares words and ideas that first were used in the poem 'Jabberwocky' in 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.'" but with "'less exuberance and wordplay and more adult fear and anxiety throughout' Despite having the overall theme of a quest, as 'Jabberwocky,' did, in 'Snark' there is 'none of the triumphant joy of the earlier ballad, since the hunt ends this time in failure,' as eventually adults must acknowledge that all lives end in death. Carroll was reminded of this physical fact daily; despite his faith, he was facing the unknown of this final transition, and wrote it out metaphorically in this poem. The author tried to face this with his former exuberance, but knew he was dancing against the coming darkness." Sowers has written her eNotations with several different audiences in mind: "A young reader might just read through the main text and look at the pictures, while a slightly older reader might read the definitions as well: so much of the ...

Digital Health Care in Taiwan: Innovations of National Health Insurance by Po-Chang Lee (Springer) Price verified 8 hours ago

This open access book introduces the National Health Insurance (NHI) system of Taiwan with a particular emphasis on its application of digital technology to improve healthcare access and quality. The authors explicate how Taiwan integrates its strong Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry with 5G to construct an information system that facilitates medical information exchange, collects data for planning and research, refines medical claims review procedures and even assists in fighting COVID-19. Taiwan's NHI, launched in 1995, is a single-payer system funded primarily through payroll-based premiums. It covers all citizens and foreign residents with the same comprehensive benefits without the long waiting times seen in other single-payer systems. Though premium rate adjustment and various reforms were carried out in 2010, the NHI finds itself at a crossroads over its financial stability. With the advancement of technologies and an aging population, it faces challenges of expanding coverage to newly developed treatments and diagnosis methods and applying the latest innovations to deliver telemedicine and more patient-centered services. The NHI, like the national health systems of other countries, also needs to address the privacy concerns of the personal health data it collects and the issues regarding opening this data for research or commercial use. In this book, the 12 chapters cover the history, characteristics, current status, innovations and future reform plans of the NHI in the digital era. Topics explored include: • Income Strategy • Payment Structure • Pursuing Health Equity • Infrastructure of the Medical Information System • Innovative Applications of the Medical Information • Applications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Digital Health Care in Taiwan is essential reading for academic researchers and students in healthcare administration, health policy, health systems research, and health services delivery, as ...

The Cowboy Way by Tory Richards (15 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Arson, murder, an escaped convict intent on revenge, and a scorned ex-lover complicate the lives of a rancher's daughter, and the arrogant, sexy foreman who wants her for his own. Excerpt - "I can take care of myself." Lacey finally tugged away from him. "And you owe me for that bottle of perfume." So much for their truce. She turned abruptly to leave. "You little hellcat." His tone was low; the words ground out between his teeth. Chase's hand encircled her arm, and he jerked her back to him. "You almost blind me with that stuff, and now you expect me to replace it?" He pulled Lacey even closer, until her breasts were crushed against his unyielding, naked chest. His hands were like steel bands around the flesh of her upper arms. She caught her breath, her heart slamming in her chest. The heat from Chase's body seeped into hers, drawing an immediate response. Lacey felt her nipples harden and tingle with excitement. Something hot flowed through her aroused body, pooling between her thighs. The palms of her hands flattened against his chest; the lower half of her body arched into his as lust took control of her emotions. Fear that Chase would realize what he was doing to her nearly crippled her. "Let me go." Oh God. Was that her weak, pitiful voice? Without warning, Chase's hand was at the back of her head, his fingers threading through her loose hair and twisting it into a knot. A soft cry escaped Lacey when she found her head jerked back. Lightning revealed the raw passion etched on Chase's chiseled face. The flaring nostrils, his prominent cheekbones, and tightly drawn lips left no doubts that he was as turned on as she was. The blaze in his eyes held Lacey's gaze captive. Filled with an unspoken promise of what was to come. She could barely take a breath when he began to lower his face. "I've been hard since the first time I laid eyes on you." She felt his warm breath against her face. "No... " Lacey's heart was about to pound out of her chest. ...

A Knight at the Opera: Heine, Wagner, Herzl, Peretz, and the Legacy of Der Tannhäuser (Shofar Supplements in Jewish Studies) by Leah Garrett (Purdue University Press) Price verified 6 hours ago

A Knight at the Opera examines the remarkable and unknown role that the medieval legend (and Wagner opera) Tannhäuser played in Jewish cultural life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book analyzes how three of the greatest Jewish thinkers of that era, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Herzl, and I. L. Peretz, used this central myth of Germany to strengthen Jewish culture and to attack anti-Semitism. In the original medieval myth, a Christian knight lives in sin with the seductive pagan goddess Venus in the Venusberg. He escapes her clutches and makes his way to Rome to seek absolution from the Pope. The Pope does not pardon Tannhäuser and he returns to the Venusberg. During the course of A Knight at the Opera, readers will see how Tannhäuser evolves from a medieval knight, to Heine's German scoundrel in early modern Europe, to Wagner's idealized German male, and finally to Peretz's pious Jewish scholar in the Land of Israel. Venus herself also undergoes major changes from a pagan goddess, to a lusty housewife, to an overbearing Jewish mother. The book also discusses how the founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, was so inspired by Wagner's opera that he wrote The Jewish State while attending performances of it, and he even had the Second Zionist Congress open to the music of Tannhäuser's overture. A Knight at the Opera uses Tannhäuser as a way to examine the changing relationship between Jews and the broader world during the advent of the modern era, and to question if any art, even that of a prominent anti-Semite, should be considered taboo.

Lois' Little Essays by Lois Vidaver (9 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Deep in my junior year at Hunter College in New York City, I began the semester with a new professor in the Creative Writing department. By then, we students had all been through a course or two: yes, we had scripted a play and plumbed a poem or three."For your first assignment in this class," she announced, "I want you to write in a genre you had never tried before. Try something new."I took the assignment seriously, realizing with a start that I had never written an essay, so write one I would. Opinionated as I was, it seemed a natural. I do not even remember my theme. But I do recall her words several days later as she was returning our submissions."I received two essays," she stated, "and they were not good, not good at all." When I look back on it, I distinctly recall, or, given my over-active imagination perhaps, that she dramatically crossed the room and tossed the offending pages into the wastebasket beside her desk.I got the point. This from a teacher I thought I would like. After all, hadn't she declared on that first day of class that "I climbed into bed last night with John Updike," and gave an impish laugh. Well, did she or didn't she? I had harbored thoughts that this woman had possibilities of holding our attention.So much for getting out of one's comfort zone. Now I was really uncomfortable.Once in the publishing game, though I worked as a journalist for years, I kept my focus on writing feature articles for newspapers and magazines. Very few essays saw the light of day on my keyboard. Scared away? Youbetcha. It seemed strange then, that when we moved to Western New York, the "My View" section of the Buffalo News attracted my attention. I grew to look forward to reading those homespun tales of hometown heroes, travel anecdotes, aha moments and family reminisces, all encapsulated in 600 words. They ran the gamut of Life as We Know It.Being very much up on my venting, pouting, and yes, sentimental skills, I have written and published more than a few ...

However, Brock is even more stubborn than she is, he's all man, all brawn and brute -- and whether she likes it or not he's made keeping her safe his number one priority. He doesn't realize she doesn't need protection; she can take of herself and then some. Brock Hart, bodyguard, and retired special operative has never known anyone like Krista. Ever since their first meeting, when she pulled him over for speeding, he's been drawn to her. She infuriates him, challenges him, and has gotten under his skin in a way no woman ever has. He's kept people at arm's length all his life for good reason, but Krista won't stand for it. She wants to know everything about him, and that puts him on edge.
