My War Criminal- Personal Encounters with an Architect of Genocide
Type : epub |
Size : 7.37 MB |
English |
Descirption: An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through the lens of conversations with a notorious war criminal
Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who-like the terrorists she had previously studied-target non-combatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law.

Type : epub |
Size : 1.56 MB |
Descirption: A heartbreaking and inventive account of mental illness, suicide, and grief-and how film and TV producer Liz Levine (Story of a Girl) tried to recover from the suicide of her sister and the death of her best friend.
I feel like I might be a terrible person to be laughing in these moments. But it turns out, I'm not alone.
In November of 2016, Liz Levine's younger sister, Tamara, reached a breaking point after years of living with mental illness. In the dark hours before dawn, she sent a final message to her family then killed herself.
In Nobody Ever Talks About Anything But the End, Liz weaves the story of what happened to Tamara with another significant death-that of Liz's childhood love, Judson, to cancer. She writes about her relationship with Judson, Tamara's struggles, the conflicts that arise in a family of challenging personalities, and how death casts a long shadow. This memorable account of life and loss is...

Philosophy- Why It Matters
Type : epub |
Size : 2.82 MB |
English |
Descirption: We constantly disagree with each other on issues of fundamental importance. Does God exist? Should the latest scientific findings be trusted? Are there innate psychological differences between men and women? In four lively chapters, Beebee and Rush explain philosophy's role in addressing such questions. They consider what it means to be human, how we should engage in public debate, philosophy's relationship with science and religion, and the nature of our moral choices. Far from being only an abstract endeavour, philosophy engages with issues on a practical level, and philosophers draw inspiration from real-life situations. At its core, philosophy is about how to live and how to make sense of the world we inhabit. It is a set of tools and techniques for clearly and systematically considering our arguments and uncovering our hidden assumptions, which helps us to make more informed choices about what to believe and how to act. Philosophy is everywhere, and open to everyone.

Repeal the Second Amendment- The Case for a Safer America
Type : epub |
Size : 1.11 MB |
English |
Descirption: A radical case for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment as the only way to control gun violence in America
There's an average of one mass shooting per day in the United States. Given the ineffectiveness of the gun control lobby, it's time for a strategy with spine. In Repeal the Second Amendment, Allan Lichtman has written the first book that uses history, legal theory and up-to-the-minute data to make a compelling case for the amendment's repeal in order to create a clear road to sensible gun control in the US. Repeal the Second Amendment explores both the true history and current interpretation of the Second Amendment to expose the NRA's blatant historical manipulations and irresponsible fake ne releases. Lichtman looks at the history of firearms and gun regulations from colonial times to the present to explain how a historically forgotten sentence in the Constitution has become a flash point of recent politics that benefits only of the gun...

Rewriting the Rules of the European Economy- An Agenda for Growth and Shared Prosperity
Type : epub |
Size : 3.17 MB |
English |
Descirption: A companion to his acclaimed work in Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy, Joseph E. Stiglitz, along with Carter Dougherty and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies, lays out the economic framework for a Europe with faster growth that is more equitably shared.
Europe is in crisis. Sluggish economic growth in many countries, widespread income stagnation, and recession have led to severe political and social consequences. Social protections for citizens have been cut back. Governments offer timid responses to deep-seated problems. These economic and political failures have contributed to the rise of extremist parties on the right. Marginalized populations are being made scapegoats for Europe's woes. But the problems of today's Europe stem from decisions based on a blind worship of markets in too many areas of policy.
If Europe is to return to an innovative and dynamic economy-and if there is to be shared prosperity, social...

Sabotage- The Hidden Nature of Finance
Type : epub |
Size : 2.02 MB |
English |
Descirption: [b]A fierce denunciation of the practices and principles underlying the financial industry and a history of how we got here-from two professors expert in the workings of financial markets and offshore tax havens
[/b]The fundamental motive for financial innovation is not to make the system work better, but to avoid regulation and oversight. This is not a bug of the financial system, but a built-in feature. The president of the US is not a tax avoider because he is an especially fraudulent financier; he's a tax avoider because he is a wealthy man in a system premised on such deceit. Finance is an industry of sabotage.
This book is a brilliant, intellectual detective story that traces the origins of financial sabotage, starting with the work of a prescient American economist who saw the capacity for banks and businesses to dissemble and profit as early as the 1920s. What was accomplished modestly in the first half of the 20th century became a booming global...

Taboo- 10 Facts You Can't Talk About
Type : epub |
Size : 1.46 MB |
Descirption: It has become virtually impossible to honestly discuss race, gender, and class issues in mainstream American society because if you dare repeat certain "tabooo truths," you'll be ostracized as a bigot. Professor Wilfred Reilly (author of Hate Crime Hoax) fearlessly presents 10 of these truths here and investigates why the mainstream is so afraid to acknowledge that they're true. Among these taboo truths:
Men and women are different, although equal.
There is no epidemic of security officer murdering Black people. Last year, cops shot under 1,200 people, and only 258 of them were Black.
Crime rates vary among ethnic groups. The Black violent crime rate is about 2.4 times the white rate.
There are almost no "pay gaps" between big groups, when variables other than race and sex are adjusted for.

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine- A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017
Type : epub |
Size : 14.8 MB |
English |
Descirption: A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history
In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, "in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone." Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi's great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective.
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members-mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists-The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the...

The Imagined, the Imaginary and the Symbolic
Type : epub |
Size : 269.48 KB |
English |
Descirption: Exploring the close relationship between the real and the symbolic and imaginary
What you imagined is not always imaginary, but everything that is imaginary is imagined. It is by imagining that people make the impossible become possible. In mythology or religion, however, those things that are imagined are never experienced as being imaginary by believers. The realm of the imagined is even more real than the real; it is super-real, surreal.
Lévi-Strauss held that "the real, the symbolic and the imaginary" are three separate orders. Maurice Godelier demonstrates the contrary: that the real is not separate from the symbolic and the imaginary. For instance, for a portion of humanity, rituals and sacred objects and places attest to the reality and therefore the truth that God, gods or spirits exist. The symbolic enables people to signify what they think and do, encompassing thought, spilling over into the whole body, but also pervading temples, palaces, tools,...

Descirption: On the fortieth anniversary of the historic "Miracle on Ice," Mike Eruzione-the captain of the 1980 U.S Men's Olympic Hockey Team and the scorer of the winning goal-recounts the legendary upset against the Soviets, winning the gold medal, and his amazing career on the ice.
It is the greatest American underdog sports story ever told: how a team of college kids and unsigned amateurs, under the tutelage of legendary coach-and legendary monster-Herb Brooks, beat the elite Soviet hockey team on their way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the U.S.-the youngest team in the competition-were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians. But the Americans' irrepressible optimism, skill, and fearless attitude helped them outplay the seasoned Soviet team and deliver their iconic win.
