She Changed the Nation: Barbara Jordan's Life and Legacy in Black Politics
by Mary Ellen Curtin
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1512825808 | 480 Pages | True ePUB | 15.6 MB

An important new biography of Barbara Jordan, the first Black woman from the South to serve in Congress
During her keynote speech at the 1976 Democratic Party convention, Barbara Jordan of Texas stood before a rapt audience and reflected on where Americans stood in that bicentennial year. "Are we to be one people bound together by a common spirit, sharing in a common endeavor, or will we become a divided nation? For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future." The civil rights movement had changed American politics by opening up elected office to a new generation of Black leaders, including Jordan, the first Black woman from the South to serve in Congress. Though her life in elected politics lasted only twelve years, in that short time, Jordan changed the nation by showing that Black women could lead their party and legislate on behalf of what she called "the common good."
In She Changed the Nation, biographer Mary Ellen Curtin offers a new portrait of Jordan and her journey from segregated Houston, Texas, to Washington, DC, where she made her mark during the Watergate crisis by eloquently calling for the impeachment of President Nixon. Recognized as one of the greatest orators of modern America, Jordan inspired millions, and Black women became her most ardent supporters. Many assumed Jordan would rise higher and become a US senator, Speaker of the House, or a Supreme Court justice. But illness and disability, along with the obstacles she faced as a Black woman, led to Jordan's untimely retirement from elected office―though not from public life. Until her death at the age of fifty-nine, Jordan remained engaged with the cause of justice and creating common ground, proving that Black women could lead the country through challenging times.
No change in the law alone could guarantee the election of Black leaders. It took courage and ambition for Barbara Jordan to break into politics. This important new biography explores the personal and the political dimensions of Jordan's life, showing how she navigated the extraordinary pressures of office while seeking to use persuasion, governance, and popular politics as instruments of social change and betterment.

Mac Smith, "Siege at the State House"
English | ISBN: 1684750342 | 2022 | 256 pages | EPUB | 304 KB
Siege at the State House tells the true story of a coup that was attempted between Maine's governor and the leaders of a new political party, almost plunging the United States into its second Civil War. With the Maine State House under siege for several weeks by a confederate force, the occupation culminated in a showdown between armed rebels and Civil War hero General Joshua Chamberlain, with Chamberlain standing on the State House steps, exposing his chest, and daring any man present to settle the standoff with violence, if they dared. It was an event the war hero called "Another Roundtop."

In light of recent national events, this piece of Maine history is a timely and cautionary tale brought to life by historian Mac Smith. Elements of the story include a Christmas Day raid on Maine's weapons arsenal, missing election results, and seven jackasses.

ABHISIT VEJJAJIVA, "SIMPLE TRUTH, THE: PERSONAL UNTOLD ACCOUNTS OF THAILAND'S 2009-2010 POLITICAL CRISES"
English | ISBN: 9742281270 | 2013 | 240 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Synopsis : Prologue Throughout my twenty years in politics, both in the government and in the opposition, I have always been truthful to myself and to the public. I have also always taken responsibility for all my actions. Just before taking office in December 2008, I said, "Whatever happens going forward, I have come to the final phase of my political life," and truly meant it. One year after having stepped down as Prime Minister, my political career is now even nearer to the end. As for how long I have on this earth, no one knows. I had the honour of serving my country as Prime Minister for over two years, during one of the worst crises in our nation's history. Those were by far the most difficult two years out of my twenty in politics. They were years with the greatest responsibility, the most immense pressure, the most extreme physical threats, and the most damaging slander, especially concerning the political unrests. Since then, we have heard plenty of lies-I now ask for the opportunity to tell the truth. The plain truth; the earnest truth; and the unwavering truth. Abhisit Vejjajiva September 2012

Colin Filer, "Small Islands in Peril?: Island Size and Island Lives in Melanesia "
English | ISBN: 1760466530 | 2024 | 248 pages | EPUB, PDF | 6 MB + 11 MB
This book explores the idea that small island communities could be regarded as canaries in the coal mine of sustainable development because of scientific and anecdotal evidence of a common link between rapid population growth, degradation of the local resource base, and intensification of disputes over the ownership and use of terrestrial and marine resources. The authors are all anthropologists with a specific interest in the question of whether the economic and social 'safety valves' that have previously served to break some of the feedback loops between these trends appear to be losing their efficacy. While much of the debate about economy-society-environment relationships on small islands has been overtaken by a narrow focus on the problem of climate change, the authors show that there are many other factors at work in the transformation of island lives and livelihoods.

Graeme Wheeler, "Sound Practice in Government Debt Management"
English | 2004 | pages: 228 | ISBN: 0821350730 | PDF | 0,7 mb
Government debt management has a long tradition, dating back more than two centuries in some European countries. Since the late 1980's, however, many OECD governments have invested heavily in improving the quality of their debt management practices. In recent years, the topic has received additional attention for its potential role in reducing the vulnerability of emerging economies to financial and economic shocks. Risk is a relative concept and is measured relative to a set of objectives. The authors argue that a government asset and liability management framework offers valuable conceptual insights for managing the risks associated with government debt portfolios and for considering their interface with a wide range of public policy issues. They also argue that prudent risk management requires clear objectives for debt managers, sound institutional and legal framework, appropriate quality assurance procedures and checks and balances, and efficient management information systems. 'Sound Practice in Government Debt Management' draws from the experiences of a group of countries that are leaders in the area of government debt management and on the knowledge that the authors have accumulated in advising many governments on their debt management policies and operations. It offers valuable insights to assist government policy-makers in understanding what is involved in implementing sound practice in government debt management.

South Devon in the Great War (Your Towns & Cities in the Great War) by Tony Rea
English | May 24, 2016 | ISBN: 1473834252 | 144 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
South Devon in the Great War provides the first definitive history of events in this part of Devon during the First World War, with more than fifty pictures, some unpublished for 100 years. The author's succinct and engaging text is further enhanced by a unique set of then and now photographs, and provides readers with an incomparable pictorial overview of events on the Home Front

To the casual observer, south Devon may have seemed an agricultural backwater of Britain during the war, important in but two respects; the Britannia Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and the Royal Naval base at Devonport. However, a closer and more considered gaze reveals significant changes.
By late 1915 many of the young men and, significantly, almost all of the horses had gone away to war. Older men and many women now farmed the land, aided by German POWs. Dartmoor Gaol became home to hundreds of Conscientious Objectors put to work on the quarries whilst large and medium sized country houses were converted to hospitals and convalescent homes.
Not only does South Devon in the Great War detail these changes, it also explains how the local regiment responded to the call to arms of a whole nation. Within these pages the reader will find many personal tales of sacrifice, loss and grief. Most of all, however, readers will be ultimately uplifted by tales of the endurance of the human spirit.

Sovereignty in the 21st Century: Political Theology in an Age of Neoliberalism and Populism
by Carl Raschke
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1350446793 | 235 Pages | True PDF | 4.37 MB

When God is "dead" and governments themselves are increasingly subject to the power of global corporations, massive movements of peoples, transnational political upheavals, and ecological disasters, what does sovereignty mean for the 21st century? Sovereignty in the 21st Century is Carl Raschke's deep theoretical dive into the meaning of sovereignty in both its historical and contemporary settings, showing how the idea can be expanded beyond politics and offer emancipatory strategies for previously marginalized peoples. Picking up Carl Schmitt's idea of sovereignty's 'divine' associations making it an implicitly theological concern, Raschke explains how political and religious thought have always been intertwined. These intertwined strands find their relevance today in debates around class, race and domination, making the question of sovereignty not just a political but a social and economic one. Bringing to light the ways in which great transnational conflicts today are not between authoritarianism and democracy but between neoliberalism and populism, this book brings us closer to a profound understanding of what we truly mean by democracy, or 'popular' sovereignty in the 21st-century.

Straight Acting: The Hidden Queer Lives of William Shakespeare
by Will Tosh
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1541602676 | 304 Pages | True ePUB | 1.8 MB

A dazzling and "highly readable" (Guardian) portrait of Shakespeare as a young artist, revealing how his rich and complex queer life informed the plays and poems we treasure today
"Was Shakespeare gay?" For years the question has sent experts and fans into a tailspin of confusion. But as scholar Will Tosh argues, this debate misses the point: sex, intimacy, and identity in Elizabethan England were infinitely more complex-and queer-than we have been taught.
In this incisive biography, Tosh reveals William Shakespeare as a queer artist who drew on his society's nuanced understanding of gender and sexuality to create some of English literature's richest works. During Shakespeare's time, same-sex desire was repressed and punished by the Church and state, but it was also articulated and sustained by institutions across England. Moving through the queer spaces of Shakespeare's life-his Stratford schoolroom, smoky London taverns and playhouses, the royal court-Tosh shows how strongly Shakespeare's early work was influenced by the queer culture of the time, much of it totally integrated into mainstream society. He also uncovers the surprising reason why Shakespeare veered away from his early work's gender-bending homoeroticism.
Offering a subversive sketch of Elizabethan England, Straight Acting uncovers Shakespeare as one of history's great queer artists and completely reshapes the way we understand his life and times.
