Shadows of Tyranny: Defending Democracy in an Age of Dictatorship by Ken McGoogan
English | September 24, 2024 | ISBN: 1771624248 | 320 pages | PDF | 13 Mb
In response to right-wing extremism in the United States and around the world, Ken McGoogan offers lessons from history by looking back at the rise of authoritarianism and the collapse of European democracies in the lead-up to World War II.

In Shadows of Tyranny, historian Ken McGoogan warns against the future by drawing on the past, setting the emergence of alt-right fascism in the US against what happened last century in Europe. Incorporating conventional history, political analysis, biographical sketches and literary criticism-referencing visionary works by Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, H.G. Wells, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Jack London, Sinclair Lewis and Philip Roth-Shadows of Tyranny honors those who defied dictatorship and exposed totalitarianism in all its guises.
McGoogan traces the ways democracy succumbed to paranoia, polarization, scapegoating and demagoguery less than a hundred years ago in the days of Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini. Taking a biographical approach to history, he highlights the personal stories of those individuals who fought their way through the Great Depression, the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. He looks at what the authors, journalists and poets of the day were writing, who was listening, and who wasn't.
The book tracks George Orwell, of course, but also journalists like Matthew Halton, Dorothy Thompson and Martha Gellhorn, philosophers like Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt, and such multi-faceted figures as Winston Churchill, Andre Malraux, Norman Bethune and William Stephenson. It follows them from the obliviousness of the 1920s through the stunned awakening of the 1930s, and on into the nightmare horror of the 1940s. McGoogan spotlights heroes of the French Resistance, such as Josephine Baker and Marie Madeleine Fourcade, before shifting the focus to reveal startling similarities between those events of the past and the trajectory of American politics under leaders like McCarthy and Trump.
Shadows of Tyranny aims to revive the words of Winston Churchill when he said, "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Twentieth-century novels such as George Orwell's 1984 and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale produced visions of future dystopia that rang with echoes of past tyrannies. Always implied was a warning that history's worst chapters are never truly closed, and that we must not fail-as many of our forebears did-to recognize that the threat of totalitarianism cannot simply be wished away.

Shakespeare's Forgotten Allegory: Vice, Virtue, and Spoilt Children
by Julian Real
English | 2024 | ISBN: 103258551X | 283 Pages | True PDF | 11.8 MB

Shakespeare's Forgotten Allegory posits three startling points: that we have today forgotten a cultural icon that helped to bring about the Renaissance; that this character, used to distil classical wisdom regarding how to raise children to become moral adults, consistently appeared in plays performed between 1350 and 1650; and that the character was often utilised by the likes of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, and therefore adds a long-forgotten allegorical narrative to their works.
This evidence-based reappraisal of some of the most iconic works in Western literature suggests that a core element of their content has been 'lost' for centuries.
This text will appeal to anyone with an interest in late medieval and early modern drama, especially the works of Shakespeare; to those interested in the history of teaching and child-rearing; to anyone curious about the practical application of philosophy in society; to anyone that would like to know more about the crucial and defining period today known as the Renaissance, and how and why society was redesigned by those with influence; and to all those who would like to know more about how history, which though sometimes misplaced, continues to influenced our modern world.

Shielding Your Spirit: Navigating Life with Pessimistic People by bright days
English | October 29, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DLDR7F5M | 91 pages | EPUB | 0.83 Mb
Pessimism is a mindset characterized by a tendency to focus on the negative aspects of situations, anticipating unfavorable outcomes and often expressing doubt or skepticism about the future. This outlook can manifest in various ways, from subtle commentary on everyday events to overt expressions of despair about life's direction. Understanding the essence of pessimism is crucial for adults who navigate relationships with pessimistic individuals, as the pervasive nature of this outlook can significantly impact emotional well-being and interpersonal dynamics. Recognizing that pessimism often stems from past experiences, disappointments, and fears can help us approach these interactions with empathy, even as we set necessary boundaries.

Shock Waves @ Marseille IV: Shock Structure and Kinematics, Blast Waves and Detonations By L. F. Henderson (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 505 Pages | ISBN: 364279534X | PDF | 23 MB
This volume is devoted to the problems directly connected to the propagation of shock waves, blast waves and detonations and their interaction with various ctructures, gaseous, liquid or solid. Shock focusing is the first subject whereas regular or Mach reflection processes, shock wave refraction and diffraction on diverse configurations such as wedge, cone, or corner, represent central themes for many following papers. The well-known problem of shock-interface interaction still constitutes an attractive subject and a number of papers are devoted to shock-jet, shock-vortex, and shock-layer interactions. Explosions and blast waves studies are well represented, and detonation phenomena in gaseous, solid or multiphasic media are largely treated. The kinetic structure of shock itself is also analyzed.Scientists working in the fields of shock-structure interaction will be interested by the number and level of corresponding papers, and engineers may be attracted by the multiple applied aspects of shock, blast and detonation propagation.

Shock-Wave Phenomena and the Properties of Condensed Matter By G. I. Kanel, V. E. Fortov, S. V. Razorenov (auth.)
2004 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 1441919163 | PDF | 19 MB
Strong shock waves present unique opportunities for investigations in the fields of physics of condensed matter, thermophysics, physics of strength and plasticity, and chemical physics under conditions of the highest possible rates of deformation, and high pressures and temperatures. The physics of shock waves in condensed matter deal with pressures from ~100 MPa to several hundreds of GPa (and up to ten TPa in some unique experiments), temperatures up to tens of thousands of K, and durations of load application from nanoseconds to a few microseconds. Behavior of a material under these extreme conditions often differs radically from expectations based on quasistatic observations. As an example, observed anomalous temperature dependencies of the strength properties of some metals were not predicted by theories. The investigations of shock-wave phenomena in condensed matter that are discussed in this book are stimulated by the necessity to develop methods for predicting effects of explosions, high-velocity collisions, and other sources of intense dynamic loading of materials and structures. In the modern view, complete predictability is achieved when computers can accurately simulate processes of interest. The simulations require development of thermophysical equations of state and constitutive relationships that describe processes of inelastic deformation and fracture, polymorphic transformations, chemical reactions, melting, vaporization, ionization, and other phenomena observed under these conditions. Systematic discussions of various aspects of thermomechanical behavior of solid materials of different classes when subjected to shock-wave loading comprise the main part of this book. It provides an account of recent Russian work in this field that is unique in its balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and computational results. The discussions include a comprehensive analysis of:The structure of compression and rarefaction waves in solids, experimental data on the dynamic yield and tensile strengths of metals and alloys at normal and elevated temperatures, and constitutive relationships that describe high-rate yielding Static and dynamic compressive deformation and fracture of brittle materials, and failure-wave phenomena Shock induced polymorphic transformation, melting, and vaporization Explosive initiation and detonation phenomena, with emphasis on macrokinetics of chemical energy release Physics of the most extreme states of matter accessible by shock compression.

Lindsey A. Freeman, "Silence, Screen, and Spectacle: Rethinking Social Memory in the Age of Information "
English | ISBN: 1785333550 | 2017 | 260 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In an age of information and new media the relationships between remembering and forgetting have changed. This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord's notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past. Perhaps now "spectacle" can be thought of not as a tool of distraction employed solely by hegemonic powers, but instead as a device used to answer Walter Benjamin's plea to "explode the continuum of history" and bring our attention to now-time.

Joanna Allan, "Silenced Resistance: Women, Dictatorships, and Genderwashing in Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0299318400, 0299318443 | PDF | pages: 359 | 3.3 mb
Spain's former African colonies―Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara―share similar histories. Both are under the thumbs of heavy-handed, postcolonial regimes, and are known by human rights organizations as being among the worst places in the world with regard to oppression and lack of civil liberties. Yet the resistance movement in one is dominated by women, the other by men. In this innovative work, Joanna Allan demonstrates why we should foreground gender as key for understanding both authoritarian power projection and resistance. She brings an ethnographic component to a subject that has often been looked at through the lens of literary studies to examine how concerns for equality and women's rights can be co-opted for authoritarian projects. She reveals how Moroccan and Equatoguinean regimes, in partnership with Western states and corporations, conjure a mirage of promoting equality while simultaneously undermining women's rights in a bid to cash in on oil, minerals, and other natural resources. This genderwashing, along with historical local, indigenous, and colonially imposed gender norms mixed with Western misconceptions about African and Arab gender roles, plays an integral role in determining the shape and composition of public resistance to authoritarian regimes.
