Multiple chapters are reserved for countries where the movement was more active or fully developed and various chapters are organized around crucial thematic issues, such as the Fourth International. The chapters are followed by extensive name, organization, publication, and subject indexes, which provide optimal access to the wealth of information contained in the main body of the work.

The Grand Duchess Elisavyeta's story begins like a fairy tale-a German princess renowned for her beauty and kind heart marries the Grand Duke Sergei of Russia and enters the Romanov's lavish court. Her husband, however, rules his wife as he does Moscow-with a cold, hard fist. And, after a peaceful demonstration becomes a bloodbath, the fires of the revolution link Elisavyeta's destiny to that of Pavel-a young Bolshevik-forever.
Book Synopsis Representation and the Electoral College by : Robert M. Alexander
Download or read book Representation and the Electoral College written by Robert M. Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 800 proposals have been made to amend or abolish the Electoral College, and its divisiveness raises many questions. What role do electors play in American democracy? How should they vote? Should the Electoral College exist at all? Much confusion surrounds this institution, in large part because of how the original Electoral College varies from its contemporary counterpart, the evolved Electoral College. This book helps readers to understand the distinction and how we got where we are today. Focusing on the controversial 2016 election, in which Trump received nearly three million fewer popular votes than Clinton, Representation and the Electoral College shows how the Electoral College acts on behalf of the American public and alters election outcomes. In exploring the origin, development, and practice of the Electoral College, this study also presents the most extensive analysis of presidential electors to date.

Book Synopsis A Preface to the Alien Garden by : Robert Alexander
Download or read book A Preface to the Alien Garden written by Robert Alexander and published by Broadway Play Publishing Incorporated. This book was released on 2001 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ..".Robert Alexander's A PREFACE TO THE ALIEN GARDEN is a heart-thumping, gut wrenching peek into one small pocket of drugs, gangs and violence. ...the poetic beauty of Alexander's script... Alexander's language is sharp, quick and clever..." Terry Byrne, Boston Herald ..".PREFACE is nothing less than a testament to what theater can do (and what T V and movies can't), which is to stir something ineffable in your soul and transport you to a place where human potential can be raised and then dashed on the rocks. This tragic awareness that the theater can induce is achieved too rarely and seldom. But, as one of the play's characters might say, PREFACE has 'the juice'. Playwright Robert Alexander has stated that he wrote his 'gangsta' play as a cautionary tale for his child, but his play is more than social commentary. And, yes, it's filled with words that many will find offensive. But that is just one element in the language of this play which riffs and scats like the best bebop or hiphop. Filled with metaphor, imagery and rhyming syntax, Mr Alexander's drama is one of sheer urban poetry... ...the play itself is brave and brilliant. The stark light that it shines forces acknowledgment of our shared world and challenges us all to do better." Bill Oakes, Bay Window ..".the soaring poetry of some of the rap duels and the plaintive speeches of Lisa and Rick as they bid to discover a way to escape their fates are testimony to Alexander's authentic talent, expressed with an authentic voice..." Laurence J Sasso Jr, The Observer

Book Synopsis Negotiating the Numbered Treaties by : Robert Talbot
Download or read book Negotiating the Numbered Treaties written by Robert Talbot and published by Purich Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Morris, Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba and the North West Territories in the 1870s, was the main negotiator of many of the numbered treaties on the prairies and has often been portrayed as a parsimonious agent of the government, bent on taking advantage of First Nations chiefs and councillors. However, author Robert J. Talbot reveals Morris as a man deeply sympathetic to the challenges faced by Canada's Indigenous peoples as they sought to secure their future in the face of encroaching settlement and the disappearance of the buffalo. Both Morris and the First Nations negotiators viewed the treaties as the basis of a new, reciprocal arrangement, but by the end of his appointment, Morris was seriously at odds with a federal administration that preferred inaction over honouring its treaty promises.

Book Synopsis Alexander Fu Sheng by : Terrence J. Brady
Download or read book Alexander Fu Sheng written by Terrence J. Brady and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although overshadowed by Bruce Lee's adulation and Jackie Chan's longevity in the pantheon of martial arts film actors, another superstar enjoyed a brief yet prolific career on the Hong Kong silver screen. A charismatic performer known for his impish nature, ingenuous ways, and physical adroitness, Alexander Fu Sheng was beloved worldwide. Starting his career in 1971, Fu Sheng advanced through the ranks of Shaw Brothers Studio to become one of Southeast Asia's most treasured celebrities. His juvenile and playful flairs were in stark contrast to the studio's leading men and turned Alex into an international sensation. Fu Sheng's popularity was peaking when a wrong turn proved fatal in a 1983 motor vehicle accident. He was 28-years-old. "Alexander Fu Sheng: Biography of the Chinatown Kid" goes beyond the customary film reviews and rehashing of old tales. It provides unique insight by those who knew and worked alongside the actor. Each of Alex's forty-three finished movies are examined, providing behind-the-scenes tales, biographical background on the filmmakers and co-stars, and the history of the films' source materials. Unfinished projects are also revealed, his family, marriage and impending divorce are explored, and we read in Alex's own words his thoughts about his fame and what the future might bring. You've read the books about Bruce and Jackie. Now, its Alex's time.
