The War of Words
A timely call for recovering the true meanings of the nineteenth-century terms that are hobbling current political debates
"Masterful. . . . James cuts through the tangled terminological and conceptual jungle of modern globalist discourse . . . [with] fascinating discussions of the origins and meanings of the words."-G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs
"James delves into the often-surprising intellectual origins of key concepts in the arguments about globalisation-and illuminates the debate in the process."-Gideon Rachman, Financial Times, "Best Books of 2021: Politics"
Nationalism, conservatism, liberalism, socialism, and capitalism are among the most fiercely debated ideas in contemporary politics. Since these concepts hark back to the nineteenth century, much of their nuanced meaning has been lost, and the words are most often used as epithets that short-circuit productive discussion. In this insightful book, Harold James uncovers the origins of these concepts and examines how the problematic definition and meaning of each term has become an obstacle to respectful communication.
Noting that similar linguistic misunderstandings accompany such newer ideas as geopolitics, neoliberalism, technocracy, and globalism, James argues that a rich historical knowledge of the vocabulary surrounding globalization, politics, and economics-particularly the meaning and the usefulness that drove the original conceptions of the terms-is needed to negotiate the gaps between different understandings and make fruitful political debate once again possible.
Winter Words (EN)
Audiobook Winter Words, written by Thomas Hardy. This selection of Hardy’s poetry does full justice to its humanity, integrity, humour and evocative power, ranging from charming anthology pieces such as ‘Weathers’ to the great love poems he wrote after the death of his first wife and the meditations on war and philosophy. The poems – nearly eighty in total – are set in the context of his life and thought, including personal writings by him and those closest to him.

Words of a Soul
About the Book:The poems are from the interactions with people, often when they shared with me their experiences of love, hate, reasons, or despair. Some are my own feelings, whereas some are the feelings of others through the words.About the Author:
I am Sanjeev Kumar Bharadwaj, a guy residing in Guwahati and with a desire to be somebody. A confused mind and a confused outlook towards life.Apart from programming, writing has always been something that supported me while growing up, a confused life you may call it but being able to pen down things has made me understand myself. My own words confuse me and often I am left wondering what is it that I am even feeling. I am not old enough to lecture someone, nor old enough to be "experienced" but some things can happen even when you aren't old and you simply learn from them.In my poems, there are confusions that I try to clear, situations that never made sense, and rhymes that never played out, but I read them all one day and it all made sense: that's when I started to realize what was going on with my mind and I became conscious. I am not there yet, but I am not far.The poems are from the interactions with people, often when they shared with me their experiences of love, hate, reasons, or despair. Some are my own feelings, whereas some are the feelings of others through the words.Be happy, You are a wonderful being :)

First People
An illuminating exploration of early Southern African hunters and herders.
In First People, archaeologist Andrew Smith examines what we know about Southern Africa's early people, drawing on evidence from archaeological sites and rock art, the observations of colonial-era travellers, linguistics, and the study of the human genome.
Smith has studied the history and prehistory of the Khoisan throughout his long and distinguished career. These communities represent the early groups of hunter-gatherers and herders and the oldest human lineages of Africa, some migrating from as far as East Africa to settle in countries like Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa.
Fully illustrated and including the latest academic research, First People is an invaluable and accessible work that reaches from the Stone Age and travels through time to the most recent history of the Khoisan. It paints a knowledgeable and fascinating portrait of their land occupation, migration, survival, culture, and practices.

More Than Words
From the moment she met Callen Hayes, eleven-year-old Jessica Creswell knew he was a broken prince. Her prince. They became each other's refuge, a safe and magical place far from their troubled lives. Until the day Callen kissed her... and then disappeared from her life without a word.
Years later, everyone knows who Callen Hayes is. Famous composer. Infamous bad boy. What no one knows is that Callen's music is now locked deep inside, trapped behind his own inner demons. Then he stumbles into the one person who makes the music return. Jessica. Who still sets his blood on fire.
But they don't belong in each other's worlds anymore. There are too many mistakes. Too many secrets. Too many lies. All they have is that instinctive longing, that need, the one that's beginning to feel dangerously like love...

As Henry and Rachel work side by side - surrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pages - they find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But it's possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough.

May We Borrow Your Language?: How English Steals Words from All Over the World (EN)
The English language that is spoken by one billion people around the world is a linguistic mongrel, its vocabulary a diverse mix resulting from centuries of borrowing from other tongues. From the Celtic languages of pre-Roman Britain to Norman French; from the Vikings' Old Scandinavian to Persian, Sanskrit, Algonquian, Cantonese and Hawaiian – amongst a host of others – we have enriched our modern language with such words as tulip, slogan, doolally, avocado, moccasin, ketchup and ukulele.
