Download or read book Post-Imperium written by Dmitri V. Trenin and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war in Georgia. Tensions with Ukraine and other nearby countries. Moscow's bid to consolidate its "zone of privileged interests" among the Commonwealth of Independent States. These volatile situations all raise questions about the nature of and prospects for Russia's relations with its neighbors. In this book, Carnegie scholar Dmitri Trenin argues that Moscow needs to drop the notion of creating an exclusive power center out of the post-Soviet space. Like other former European empires, Russia will need to reinvent itself as a global player and as part of a wider community. Trenin's vision of Russia is an open Euro-Pacific country that is savvy in its use of soft power and fully reconciled with its former borderlands and dependents. He acknowledges that this scenario may sound too optimistic but warns that the alternative is not a new version of the historic empire but instead is the ultimate marginalization of Russia.

Book excerpt: Everyone knows you don’t mess with a Kodiak bear! Everyone except Mandy, the wolf-pack Alpha’s sister. When Mandy hears whispers that Honey, a bear with a bad attitude, has chosen a mate, she takes matters into her own hands. Her wolf decided months ago that Honey was hers. If drugging, kidnapping, and making him live in a feral cage won’t work she plans to give Honey a little bad attitude of her own. The bear clan is ferocious, deadly, and their fighting skills coveted by other beastkind. With war knocking at the door, Honey has little time for games or courting. The best he can offer are a few grunts of acknowledgement to a young she-wolf who seems to be everywhere he looks. When he wakes up in a feral cage at the hands of that same exasperating she-wolf, all bets are off. If anyone thinks bears and wolves don’t mix, they’ve never seen Mandy on a mission. She refuses to give into the sexy he-bear when he tries to seduce her out of her tight little assets and himself out of the cage she locked him in. Two can play that game and in the end Honey will learn, they both need to win, or else. 7-Book series complete

Book Synopsis Self and Story in Russian History by : Laura Engelstein
Download or read book Self and Story in Russian History written by Laura Engelstein and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russians have often been characterized as people with souls rather than selves. Self and Story in Russian History challenges the portrayal of the Russian character as selfless, self-effacing, or self-torturing by exploring the texts through which Russians have defined themselves as private persons and shaped their relation to the cultural community. The stories of self under consideration here reflect the perspectives of men and women from the last two hundred years, ranging from westernized nobles to simple peasants, from such famous people as Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Akhmatova, and Nicholas II to lowly religious sectarians. Fifteen distinguished historians and literary scholars situate the narratives of self in their historical context and show how, since the eighteenth century, Russians have used expressive genres—including diaries, novels, medical case studies, films, letters, and theater—to make political and moral statements. The first book to examine the narration of self as idea and ideal in Russia, this vital work contemplates the shifting historical manifestations of identity, the strategies of self-creation, and the diversity of narrative forms. Its authors establish that there is a history of the individual in Russian culture roughly analogous to the one associated with the West.
Book Synopsis The Insanity of Obedience by : Nik Ripken
Download or read book The Insanity of Obedience written by Nik Ripken and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wise Sheep Among the Wolves All Christian disciples have one thing in common: as they carry the gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their level of faith and obedience. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater. The Insanity of Obedience challenges Christians in the same, provocative way that Jesus did. This book dares you—and prepares you—to cross the street and the oceans with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of Jesus’ instructions sound uncomfortable and are potentially dangerous. We may be initially encouraged by His declaration, “I am sending you out.” But how are we to respond when He then tells us that He is sending us out “like sheep among wolves"? In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern day believers rest comfortably in the status quo? How can we embrace casual faith in light of the radical commands of Jesus which are anything but casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the most persecuted areas of the world to bear on our understanding of faith in Jesus. The Insanity of Obedience is a call to roll up your sleeves . . . and to follow and partner with Jesus in the toughest places on this planet. "We have the high privilege of answering Jesus’ call to go," Ripken says. "But let us be clear about this: we go on His terms, not ours. If we go at all, we go as sheep among wolves." Jesus gives us Himself. And He gives us the tools necessary for those who dare to journey with Him.

One year later, he died in the concentration camp at Dora. In 2004, he was glorified as a saint by the Orthodox Church. In this volume, his daughter lovingly tells the story of her father's life, from his childhood in pre-revolutionary Russia to his martyrdom. It is the story of a man whose entire life was founded on love--for his God, his faith, his family, and all those who came to him for help. The final section of the book consists of Fr. Dimitri's letters to his wife during his confinement. In these letters we glimpse the humble, dauntless spirit of a man whose reliance on Christ was absolute and whose devotion to serving his fellowmen did not waver, even to the grave.

Book excerpt: Billy Boyle is sent to the heart of the USSR to solve a double-murder at a critical turning point in the war in this latest installment of critically acclaimed James R. Benn's WWII mystery series. It’s September 1944, and the US is poised to launch Operation Frantic, a shuttle-bombing mission to be conducted by American aircraft based in Great Britain, southern Italy, and three Soviet airfields in the Ukraine. Tensions are already high between the American and Russian allies when two intelligence agents—one Soviet, one American—are found dead at Poltava, one of the Ukrainian bases. Billy is brought in to investigate, and this time he's paired, at the insistence of the Soviets, with a KGB agent who has his own political and personal agenda. In the course of an investigation that quickly spirals out of control, Billy is aided by the Night Witches, a daring regiment of young Soviet women flying at night at very low altitudes, bombing hundreds of German installations. It’s a turning point in the war, and allied efforts hang by a thread. Unless Billy and his KGB partner can solve the murders in an atmosphere of mutual distrust, Operation Frantic is doomed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1878, Lady Katarina Sikova Nilsson Movila embarked on an adventure to leave behind the the vestiges of her home in Louisiana's heartland. She ran from a culture laced in rituals and traditions hundreds of years in the making and set out for a life away from the traps of titles and birthrights. She yearned to be a part of the new surge being built upon determination and freedom but she was quickly reminded of a woman's place in polite society. US Marshall John McDaniel set off to retire his star and get back to the land his father secured for the future generations of the McDaniel clan. His inquisitive nature put him first on a path to becoming a lawyer delayed by entrance into the Union Army only to be sidelined even more when he took the oath of office under the tutelage of Judge Issac Parker in the court of Little Rock Arkansas. His best efforts to get back to Texas and to the ranch before his 35th birthday took another derailment in the embodiment of a five foot five cyclone with auburn hair and piercing green eyes hell bent on escaping the chains of conformity and destroying the men who stood in her path...or so he initially thought. When the pair first met in the dark fetid lowlands of Louisiana, they were impressed, at first, by one another's boldness which quickly turned to a hurried infatuation. But such bravado can come at a price, can they overcome their stubborn ways and embark on a path together the one that is the least expected for them both.
