Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By extending their voyages to all oceans from the 1760s onward, whaling vessels from North America and Europe spanned a novel net of hunting grounds, maritime routes, supply posts, and transport chains across the globe. For obtaining provisions, cutting firewood, recruiting additional men, and transshipping whale products, these highly mobile hunters regularly frequented coastal places and islands along their routes, which were largely determined by the migratory movements of their prey. American-style pelagic whaling thus constituted a significant, though often overlooked factor in connecting people and places between distant world regions during the long nineteenth century. Focusing on Africa, this book investigates side-effects resulting from stopovers by whalers for littoral societies on the economic, social, political, and cultural level. For this purpose it draws on eight local case studies, four from Africa’s west coast and four from its east coast. In the overall picture, the book shows a broad range of effects and side-effects of different forms and strengths, which it figures as a "grey undercurrent" of global history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Making of Modern Britain, Andrew Marr paints a fascinating portrait of life in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century as the country recovered from the grand wreckage of the British Empire. Between the death of Queen Victoria and the end of the Second World War, the nation was shaken by war and peace. The two wars were the worst we had ever known and the episodes of peace among the most turbulent and surprising. As the political forum moved from Edwardian smoking rooms to an increasingly democratic Westminster, the people of Britain experimented with extreme ideas as they struggled to answer the question ‘How should we live?’ Socialism? Fascism? Feminism? Meanwhile, fads such as eugenics, vegetarianism and nudism were gripping the nation, while the popularity of the music hall soared. It was also a time that witnessed the birth of the media as we know it today and the beginnings of the welfare state. Beyond trenches, flappers and Spitfires, this is a story of strange cults and economic madness, of revolutionaries and heroic inventors, sexual experiments and raucous stage heroines. From organic food to drugs, nightclubs and celebrities to package holidays, crooked bankers to sleazy politicians, the echoes of today's Britain ring from almost every page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holocaust movies have become an important segment of world cinema and the de-facto Holocaust education for many. One quarter of all American-produced Holocaust-related feature films have won or been nominated for at least one Oscar. In fact, from 1945 through 1991, half of all American Holocaust features were nominated. Yet most Holocaust movies have fallen through the cracks and few have been commercially successful. This book explores these trends--and many others--with a comprehensive guide to hundreds of films and made-for-television movies. From Anne Frank to Schindler's List to Jojo Rabbit, more than 400 films are examined from a range of perspectives--historical, chronological, thematic, sociological, geographical and individual. The filmmakers are contextualized, including Charlie Chaplin, Sidney Lumet, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and Roman Polanski. Recommendations and reviews of the 50 best Holocaust films are included, along with an educational guide, a detailed listing of all films covered and a four-part index-glossary.

This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invertebrates perform such vital roles in global ecosystems—and so strongly influence human wellbeing—that biologist E.O. Wilson was prompted to describe them as “little things that run the world.” As they are such powerful shapers of the world around us, their response to global climate change is also pivotal in meeting myriad challenges looming on the horizon—everything from food security and biodiversity to human disease control. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the latest scientific knowledge and contemporary theory relating to global climate change and terrestrial invertebrates. Featuring contributions from top international experts, this book explores how changes to invertebrate populations will affect human decision making processes across a number of crucial issues, including agriculture, disease control, conservation planning, and resource allocation. Topics covered include methodologies and approaches to predict invertebrate responses, outcomes for disease vectors and ecosystem service providers, underlying mechanisms for community level responses to global climate change, evolutionary consequences and likely effects on interactions among organisms, and many more. Timely and thought-provoking, Global Climate Change and Terrestrial Invertebrates offers illuminating insights into the profound influence the simplest of organisms may have on the very future of our fragile world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You must be Kidding Dr. Supratic Gupta! Want to change the world? Want to make people think sincerely? Why not? We all want a better world for our children, In pursuit of Happiness and Success. The lopsided and inequitable development of Indian society has prodded an IIT faculty to initiate a journey of explorations and observations, through the maze of complex socio-cultural and systemic issues. It led to some new innovative concepts, touching the roots of complex human problems. The new approach was based upon his life experiences, including 12 years exposure to far eastern society. The problem lies in the rigid and outdated structures, systems, attitudes, research and educational systems. The suffering of children pursuing sports, music and dance in formal education system, and their post retirement life, led to the realization that children choosing sports, music and dance should have a complete separate curriculum of communication, science and mathematics, which will make a person complete entertainer and balanced personality. The authors have proposed to give more importance to flexibility exercise in childhood, counselling of adolescent and youth, a holistic child care system, and more scientific way of thinking. A series of portals controlled by public participation and involvement to assist the sports and research in India is also proposed.

Book excerpt: In "Awakening the Grey," the third, riveting installment of The Leclair Witch Chronicles, the world teeters on the brink of darkness. Following the harrowing events of "The Children of the Night," The Enlightened, a group of young witches and mages led by the powerful Cassandra, find themselves in a world plunged into shadow and fear. The Grey, a malevolent entity from the Stygia, has breached their realm, bringing with it unspeakable horrors and an army of undead, led by the resurrected necromancer Kokb'ael. As the dark clouds of The Grey's influence spread, The Enlightened must grapple with daunting moral dilemmas and internal strife. Faced with the advice of the Holy Guardian Angel to renounce their magical powers to weaken The Grey, they are torn between the loss of their abilities and the necessity to save their world. The emergence of Mordecai, wielding the enigmatic Saturnian Talisman with sinister intent, adds a layer of intrigue and danger to their quest. The narrative takes readers on a journey through a series of intense battles, unexpected alliances, and the struggle to maintain hope in a world where light seems to be fading. As The Enlightened navigate through betrayal, love, and the weight of their decisions, they uncover the depths of their own strength and the true nature of their enemies. "Awakening the Grey" sets the stage for a grander conflict, exploring themes of power, sacrifice, and the fine line between light and dark. It leaves readers at the edge of a precipice, eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this enthralling saga.

California Cooper and Elana Dykewomon, this bold and deeply satisfying anthology of women's stories explores women's relationships to, and perceptions of, their physical selves. Addressing the peculiarities, the pleasures, and the shames of body politics, these stories of bodies that refuse to be contained offer a variety of perspectives on fully inhabiting the flesh. Whether celebrating bodies deemed transgressive or simply daring to acknowledge that such bodies exist, these diverse literary representations of fatness render the excessive body brilliantly, unapologetically visible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for those interested in questions of justice and cultural representation, Land/Relations speaks to and moves beyond the critical junctures in the study of Canadian literatures today. In the aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and following Canada’s sesquicentennial, Land/Relations presents a collaborative effort at what Smaro Kamboureli and Larissa Lai call “counter-memory,” a collective effort to recognise “relationships that have always been”—between peoples, between humanity and other living forms, between us and the land—in an effort to avoid erasure, loss, and trauma. Twenty influential literary critics engage a variety of genres—essay, life writing, testament, polemic, poetry—to explore the ways Canadian cultural production has been shaped by social and historical relations and can be given new and various forms to decolonize the institutions associated with the creation of this country’s vision of Canadian literature.
