Book Synopsis A Flag Worth Dying For by : Tim Marshall
Download or read book A Flag Worth Dying For written by Tim Marshall and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining keen analysis of current events with world history, Tim Marshall, author of the New York Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography, provides “an entertaining whistle-stop tour of world flags” (Library Journal)—how their power is used to unite and divide populations and intimidate enemies. For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colors. And still, in the twenty-first century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on Arab streets, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob. From the renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now and it’s important to understand the symbols, old and new, that people are rallying around. In nine chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, international flags, and flags of terror), Tim Marshall’s A Flag Worth Dying For is a “brisk, entertaining read…that successfully answers a puzzling question: how can a simple piece of cloth come to mean so much? Marshall presents an informative survey of these highly visible symbols of national or international pride” (Publishers Weekly), representing nation states and non-state actors (including ISIS, Hezbollah, and Hamas), and explains how they figure in diplomatic relations and events today. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of global reporting experience to reveal the true meaning behind the symbols that unite us—and divide us—Marshall “writes with the cool drollery that characterized the work of Christopher Hitchens or Simon Winchester” (USA TODAY). The “illuminating” (The New York Times) A Flag Worth Dying For is a winning combination of current affairs, politics, and world history and “a treasure vault for vexillologists, full of meaning beyond the hue and thread of the world’s banners” (Kirkus Reviews).

Download or read book Flags of Countries Around the World written by Melissa Ackerman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know that the flag of Switzerland is square in shape and not rectangular? It is one of the only two square flags in the world, the other being the flag of Vatican City. And do you also know that the flag of Nepal is neither square nor rectangle? The national flag of Nepal is a combination of two triangle-shaped flags colored in crimson red and bordered by blue. The flags you see representing different countries are more than a piece of fabric. A flag is a country's national symbol. It represents their identity as a nation. The colors and designs on a flag have its cultural, political, historical, religious and regional significance. Many countries with a predominant Christian population would have a cross on their flags while Muslim countries would have a crescent moon on theirs. African countries like Benin, Republic of Congo, Mali and the others would have the green, yellow and red colors on their flags which are the colors of the Ethiopian flag. The use of the said colors signifies giving honor to Ethiopia the oldest independent country in Africa. The green, white, red, and black colors are Pan-Arab colors that are common on the flags of many Arab countries like Jordan, Libya, Sudan and others. More fascinating information and trivia about 196 flags of different countries around the world are featured in this book especially made for young learners.
