Red Famine Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The momentous new book from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and Iron Curtain.In 1932-33, nearly four million Ukrainians died of starvation, having been deliberately deprived of food. It is one of the most devastating episodes in the history of the twentieth century. With unprecedented authority and detail, Red Famine investigates how this happened, who was responsible, and what the consequences were. It is the fullest account yet published of these terrible events.The book draws on a mass of archival material and first-hand testimony only available since the end of the Soviet Union, as well as the work of Ukrainian scholars all over the world. It includes accounts of the famine by those who survived it, describing what human beings can do when driven mad by hunger. It shows how the Soviet state ruthlessly used propaganda to turn neighbours against each other in order to expunge supposedly 'anti-revolutionary' elements. It also records the actions of extraordinary individuals who did all they could to relieve the suffering.The famine was rapidly followed by an attack on Ukraine's cultural and political leadership - and then by a denial that it had ever happened at all. Census reports were falsified and memory suppressed. Some western journalists shamelessly swallowed the Soviet line; others bravely rejected it, and were undermined and harassed. The Soviet authorities were determined not only that Ukraine should abandon its national aspirations, but that the country's true history should be buried along with its millions of victims. Red Famine, a triumph of scholarship and human sympathy, is a milestone in the recovery of those memories and that history. At a moment of crisis between Russia and Ukraine, it also shows how far the present is shaped by the past.

Understanding Power Vintage Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the pre-eminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sell-out lectures. Now, in "Understanding Power", Peter R. Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's talks on the past, present and future of the politics of power. In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions - published here for the first time - Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during the Vietnam War to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. And as he elucidates the connection between America's imperialistic foreign policy and social inequalities at home, Chomsky also discerns the necessary steps to take toward social change. With an eye to political activism and the media's role in popular struggle, as well as US foreign and domestic policy, "Understanding Power" is definitive Chomsky.

Eruptions that Shook the World Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

What does it take for a volcanic eruption to really shake the world? Did volcanic eruptions extinguish the dinosaurs, or help humans to evolve, only to decimate their populations with a super-eruption 73,000 years ago? Did they contribute to the ebb and flow of ancient empires, the French Revolution and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 19th century? These are some of the claims made for volcanic cataclysm. Volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer explores rich geological, historical, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records (such as ice cores and tree rings) to tell the stories behind some of the greatest volcanic events of the past quarter of a billion years. He shows how a forensic approach to volcanology reveals the richness and complexity behind cause and effect, and argues that important lessons for future catastrophe risk management can be drawn from understanding events that took place even at the dawn of human origins.

Third Reich at War Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The final book in his acclaimed trilogy on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, Richard J. Evans' "The Third Reich at War: How the Nazis Led Germany from Conquest to Disaster" shows how Germany rushed headlong into destroying itself, shattering an entire continent. In 1939 Hitler mobilized Germany into all-out war. Richard Evans' astonishing, acclaimed history conjures up a whole society plunged into conflict - from generals and front-line soldiers to Hitler Youth activists and middle-class housewives - tracing events from the invasion of Poland and the Battle of Stalingrad to Hitler's plans for genocide and his eventual suicide. "Masterly ...will surely be the standard history for many years to come...This is a warning for the future, as much as a judgement on the past". (Richard Overy, "Daily Telegraph"). "We all know how the story ends ...but Richard Evans brings it masterfully home ...magnificent". (Peter Preston, "Observer"). "A chilling, brilliant read". (Dominic Sandbrook, "Sunday Telegraph" Books of the Year). "It is hard to do justice to the humanity and scholarly range of "The Third Reich at War" ...triumphant ...a masterful historical narrative and the most comprehensive account of Nazi Germany".(Nicholas Stargardt, "The Times Literary Supplement"). "It gives the reader persuasive answers to questions asked for so long, that will continue to be asked, about this most violent and inexplicable of regimes". (Mark Mazower, "Guardian"). Sir Richard J. Evans is Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University. His previous books include "In Defence of History", "Telling Lies about Hitler" and the companions to this title, "The Coming of the Third Reich" and "The Third Reich in Power".

Parag Khanna - Move Scribner

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A compelling look at the powerful global forces that will cause billions of us to move geographically over the next thirty years, ushering in an era of radical change.In the 60,000 years since people began colonizing the continents, a recurring feature of human civilization has been mobility. History is brimming with seismic global events-pandemics and plagues, wars and genocides. Each time, after a great catastrophe, our instincts to seek physical security compel us to move. The map of humanity isn't settled-not now, not ever. The last century provides continuing evidence that we are in the most dangerous experiment humanity has ever experienced. As climates change, pandemics arrive, and economies rise and fall, which areas will people flee from and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? How will the billions alive today, and the billions coming, create the next map of human geography? Now, global strategy advisor Parag Khanna expands on his TED Talks about mapping the future with this illuminating and authoritative vision of the next civilization. He explains how the past two major shifts-one agricultural and the other industrial-have led us to the cusp of the next one, which must be mobile and sustainable. Across the world, we must move people to where the resources are, and technologies to the people who need them. Igniting this accelerating mobility are five primary forces: demographic imbalances (young people flocking to new regions); economic dislocation (flight to where the jobs are); technological disruption; political upheaval; and climate change. Move is a fascinating and enlightening look at the "climate" of migration, revealing the deep trends that will shape the grand economic and security scenarios of the future. Most importantly, it offers us a chance to identify our location on humanity's ever-changing map.

Heart of Palm ATBO

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"[A] fine, funny first novel . . . A heaping dose of Southern soul with a whole lot of chutzpah thrown in."--Gina Webb, "Atlanta Journal Constitution" Arla Bolton had been warned never to marry a Bravo. From the country-club set in genteel St. Augustine, Florida, Arla gave it all up to marry Dean Bravo and move to Utina, best known for the trade in Palm Sunday palms and moonshine. Opportunity has passed by both Utina and the Bravos for decades, but Arla was young and in love and blind to how her choice would change her life. Now Dean is gone and she shares a ramshackle waterfront house with her willful daughter, Sofia, nursing her losses and wondering if Dean's doing the same wherever he is. Frank, her dutiful middle son, manages the family restaurant without complaint, while he dreams of escaping the Florida heat to cool mountain rivers, and dreams of his brother Carson's wife, Elizabeth, whom he's loved since adolescence. In short, the Bravos are due a break--and when the phone rings one July 4, it seems a developer wants to bring development to Utina at last, provided the Bravos agree. But are Frank, Arla, Sofia, and Carson ready? Ready or not, it seems the phone call has set off a chain reaction. Two surprise arrivals, one late-blooming love story, one hedge fund scam, a truck full of melted Key lime pies, and a bittersweet reckoning or two later, "Heart of Palm" reveals what happens when opportunity knocks, tempers ignite, and long-buried secrets are unearthed. Like Fannie Flagg's Whistle Stop, Alabama or Richard Russo's Empire Falls, Utina and its inhabitants are a town that will live in readers' memories. As the Bravos confront the tragedy in their past and attempt to embrace the hope in their future, Laura Lee Smith establishes herself as a warm, wryly witty, and captivating new voice in American fiction. "An incandescent first novel set in the small town of Utina, Florida, whose inhabitants struggle to balance tradition and progress."--Abbe Wright, "O Magazine" "Remarkable . . . "Heart of Palm" is Smith's first novel, and it's a knockout. With its knowing but sweet-natured humor, its flawed and believable characters, its convincing depiction of small-town life, its delicious little plot twists and its insight about the human heart, it reminded me often of the novels of Richard Russo."--Colette Bancroft, "Tampa Bay Times"

Persuasion Oxford University Press

However, when peacetime arrives and brings the Navy home, and Anne encounters Captain Wentworth once more, she starts to believe in second chances.

Warm Bodies and The New Hunger Simon & Schuster

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Warm Bodies", Isaac Marion's bestselling tale of a zombie's return to humanity through an unlikely encounter with love, has captured hearts worldwide, appearing in twenty-seven languages and inspiring a major film along with a passionate fandom. This special five-year anniversary edition includes the powerful prequel novella, The New Hunger, which sheds light on the saga's past while setting the stage for its epic conclusion.§§In the "highly original" ( Seattle Times ) Warm Bodies , "R" is a man with an existential crisis: he is dead. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his fellow zombies, but he craves something more than brains and the memories he gains when he eats them. He wants a life of his own.§§After absorbing the poignant life of a troubled young man, R makes a choice that begins the unlikeliest of relationships-with his victim's ex-girlfriend. Julie is angry and scared but fiercely alive, a blast of color in R's grey existence, and as they struggle to protect each other from the grim society around them, they begin to set off dangerous sparks-the kind that could revive their lifeless world, or start a war that destroys it.§§But their story doesn't end-or begin-there. "The New Hunger" takes us back seven years to a crucial crossroads in three young lives. Julie and her parents drive across the wastelands of America in search of a new home. Her future friend Nora struggles to protect her brother, a boy with a secret that might one day change the world. And in the darkness of a forest, a dead man opens his eyes. Who is he? What is he? As R unravels these grim mysteries and Julie and Nora scour the world for hope, each step brings them closer to an encounter of beauty and tragedy that will change the course of their lives.§§Together, "Warm Bodies and The New Hunger" form a richly layered tale of love and hope in the darkest of times, while also opening the doors to an epic saga that continues with "The Burning World", an excerpt of which is included in this edition for current fans and newcomers alike.
