A Diary of the Russian Revolution
"When an astonishing revolution toppled the Russian autocracy early in 1917, James L. Houghteling Jr., a special attaché to the US embassy in Russia, was one of the very few Americans present who daily recorded the striking events he witnessed and the comments he heard from both Russian and foreign observers. The diary of the thirty-three-year-old Chicago native therefore provides a rare and valuable record of dramatic developments in the streets of the wartime capital, Petrograd. It also offers unusual insights into how Russian elites and foreign diplomats, journalists, and business owners viewed the actions of soldiers, workers, and political leaders who shaped the revolution.

Eirinn & Iran go Brach
This book analyzes particular patterns of nationalist self-configuration and nationalist uses of memory, counter-memory, and historical amnesia in Ireland from roughly around the time of the emergence of a broad-based non-sectarian Irish nationalist platform in the late eighteenth century (the Society of United Irishmen) until Ireland’s partition and the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922. In approaching Irish nationalism through the particular historical lens of “Iran,” this book underscores the fact that Irish nationalism during this period (and even earlier) always utilized a historical paradigm that grounded Anglo-Irish encounters and Irish nationalism in the broader world history, a process that I term “worlding of Ireland.” In effect, Irish nationalism was always politically and culturally cosmopolitan in outlook in some formulations, even in the case of many nationalists who resorted to insular and narrowly defined exclusionary ethnic and/or religious formulations of the Irish “nation.” Irish nationalists, as nationalists in many other parts of the world, recurrently imagined their own history either in contrast to or as reflected in, the histories of peoples and lands elsewhere, even while claiming the historical uniqueness of the Irish experience. Present in a wide range of Irish nationalist political, cultural, and historical utterances were assertions of past and/or present affinities with other peoples and lands.
Unlocking Scots
The Scots language is the hidden treasure of Scottish culture. For many of us it is still how we speak to each other, how we express our feelings, our humour, even our Scottishness. It not only connects us to our communities at an emotional level but also links us to our past. Scots was created by millions of voices coming together to share words, phrases and jokes; to understand, act on (and often laugh at) the world around them. Aye, but what exactly is ‘Scots’ anywa? sually spoken in a mix with Scottish English, at leastnowadays, is it really a language at al? as it eve? nd what about its futur? r Clive Young embarks on a quest to learn about the secret life of the language he spoke as a bairn. Along the way, he encounters centuries of intense argument on the very nature of Scots, from the first dictionaries, through MacDiarmid, The Broons, Trainspotting and on to present-day Twitter rammies. (And of course, endless stushies about how to spell it.) Some still dismiss Scots as ‘just’ a dialect, slang or bad English. Behind this everyday disdain Dr Young uncovers a troubling history of official neglect and marginalisation of our unique minority language, offset only by a defiant and inspiring linguistic loyalty. A refreshing counterbalance to the usual gloomy prognosis of Scots’ supposedly ‘inevitable’ demise, Dr Young sketches out a practical roadmap to revitalise Scotland’s beleaguered tongue and simple ways we can all keep it ‘hale an hearty’ for future generations. Acause if you dinna dae it, wha wull?

The Problems of Philosophy
''Is there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it?''Philosophy is the attempt to answer such ultimate questions, not carelessly and dogmatically, as we might deal with them in ordinary life, but critically, after analysing how and why the questions arise and clarifying the assumptions and concepts on which they are based.This classic work, first published in 1912, has never been supplanted as an approachable introduction to the theory of philosophical enquiry. It gives Russell''s views on such subjects as the distinction between appearance and reality, the existence and nature of matter, idealism, knowledge by acquaintance and by description, induction, and the limits and value of philosophical knowledge.This edition includes an introduction by John Skorupski contextualizing Russell''s work, and a guide to further reading.
One Breath at a Time
One Breath at a Time distils 108 of the Dalai Lama’s teachings, an auspicious number in Buddhist tradition that marks the journey from delusion to awakening. Each is followed by a poetic reflection and a brief meditation by a close disciple, inviting the reader to move from understanding to experience, from thought to transformation. The book unfolds like a quiet pilgrimage: Beginning with mindfulness, deepening into compassion and wisdom, and opening finally into a way of living guided by a moral compass. It may be opened anywhere for daily reflection or followed as a continuous path of practice. This tender and radiant volume invites readers of every background to inhabit the Dalai Lama’s wisdom in the simplest of ways, to pause, to breathe, and to meet the world with steadiness and care, one breath at a time. In this luminous collection, offered as a celebration of the Dalai Lama’s ninetieth birthday, his essential teachings are distilled, each a crafted and authentic doorway to transformation—gentle yet profound, clear yet mysterious, accessible yet pointing towards depths that require a lifetime to fathom. This is not a book about Buddhism but about being human. Not about belief but about investigation. Not about escaping the world but about engaging it with wisdom and compassion, one breath at a time.
Demolishing Detroit
Pioneering field work reveals how infrastructural systems—buildings, laws, algorithms, excavators, regulations, toxins—maintain white supremacy within the urban landscape For decades, Detroit residents, politicians, planners, and advocacy organizations have campaigned for the elimination of empty buildings from city neighborhoods. Leveling these structures, many argue, is essential to making space for Detroit's majority-Black populace to flourish in the wake of white flight and deindustrialization. In 2013, the city set out to demolish more than twenty thousand empty buildings by the end of the decade, with administrators suggesting it would offer an innovative model for what other American cities could do to combat the effects of racist disinvestment. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research with city residents, demolition workers, and public officials, as well as analyses of administrative archives, Demolishing Detroit examines the causes, procedures, and consequences of empty-building demolitions in Detroit. Contrary to stated goals of equity, the book reveals how racism and intersecting inequities endured despite efforts to level them. As calls to dismantle racist systems have become increasingly urgent, this book provides cautionary tales of urban transformations meant to combat white supremacy that ultimately reinforced inequality. Bridging political analyses of racial capitalism, infrastructures, and environments in cities, Nick Caverly grapples with the reality that tearing down unjust policies, ideologies, and landscapes is not enough to end racist disparities in opportunities and life chances. Doing so demands rebuilding systems in the service of reparative futures.

The Village: Russian Impressions
Chicago native, political activist, and journalist Ernest Poole (1880-1950) provides a distinctive view of the Bolshevik Revolution in his work, The Village: Russian Impressions. This work is unusual in the library of American accounts of Revolutionary Russia because it addresses the world of the Russian peasants, far away from the revolutionary centers of Petrograd and Moscow. He associated with a Russian priest, a doctor, a teacher, and a mill owner who offered a perspective not normally seen in the history of the Bolshevik Revolution. Poole''s own views and those of the people he visited provide a fascinating account of the revolutionary era that helps readers a century later understand the complexity of this fascinating time.
Discovering Tutankhamun
A thorough and absorbing account of the life and times of the famous young pharaoh, Tutankhamun, from the discovery of his tomb to the CT-scans of the twenty-first century, now fully updated and expandedPenned by one of the world’s best known Egyptologists, former Egyptian minister of state for antiquities Zahi Hawass, who was personally involved in research into the enigmatic young pharaoh, this revised and updated edition of Discovering Tutankhamun reviews the current state of our knowledge about the life, death, and burial of Tutankhamun in light of the latest investigations and newest technology, including the CT scans that finally revealed the identity of Tutankhamun''s mother.Hawass places the king in the broader context of Egyptian history, unraveling the intricate and much debated relationship between various members of the royal family, and the circumstances surrounding the turbulent Amarna period. He also succinctly explains the religious background and complex beliefs in the afterlife that defined and informed many features of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The history of the exploration of the Valley of the Kings is discussed, as well as the background and mutual relationships of the main protagonists.The tomb and its most important treasures are described and illustrated, and the modern X-raying and CT-scanning of the king’s mummy are presented in detail. The description of the latest DNA examination of the mummies of Tutankhamun and members of his family, much of which was never made known to the public, is one of the most absorbing parts of the book and demonstrates that scientific methods may produce results that cannot be paralleled by traditional Egyptology. This updated and revised edition recounts untold stories from 1922 about Howard Carter and his momentous discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. It also includes a whole new chapter dedicated to the Golden City, which was founded by Amenhotep III, shedding new light on our knowledge of Thebes’ landscape in the reign of Tutankhamun and the end of the New Kingdom.
Reclaiming Clio
Women’s history traveled a long and fascinating path before it became a respected and recognized academic field in twentieth-century America. This book explores the field’s development as a multiracial and multigenerational effort, going beyond the careers of individual women historians to focus on how the discipline itself took shape. Focusing on the crucial period between 1900 and 1968, Jennifer Banning Tomás shines a light on the work performed by archivists and professional historians that gave women’s history its own identity and legitimacy. The women in Reclaiming Clio laid the groundwork for the field’s remarkable expansion during the final wave of twentieth-century feminism after 1970, when a genuine movement for women’s history emerged. Their contributions made the later success of women’s history possible. Tomás reveals the dedication and vision that turned women’s history into the thriving, influential field it is today.
Pursuing a Public Life
Do you relish the thought of serving in public life, but don’t know where to start? With the honesty of experience, distinguished politician Sergio Marchi clearly spells out all the practical steps that you need to follow. “A call to action for those ready to serve Canada with courage, compassion, and vision.” —Hon. Melanie JolyOur politics are currently suffering formidable challenges. Our national discourse has become more polarized, increasingly divisive, and notably nastier. Consequently, many people are keeping their distance from public life, rejecting a political system that they deem broken and unrepairable. Public opinion surveys consistently reveal that public cynicism is at a record high, coupled by declining voter turnout. Many people are disengaged from public life.The Honourable Sergio Marchi — city councillor, member of Parliament, cabinet minister, and ambassador — relates his experiences over his thirty-year political career. He shares the adventures, policy decisions, and lessons learned in an effort to shed light on the inner workings of a public life, from nomination meetings, to campaigning, to governing, to make it easier for those interested in making a difference to take the plunge into an exciting, meaningful, and purposeful profession.
Gulag a Československo 2: Velký teror
Publikace přibližuje nejkrvavější období sovětského režimu, tzv. Velký teror let 1937-1938, z československé perspektivy, odhaluje tragické osudy krajanů a popisuje jejich příběhy.
Během pouhých dvou roků bylo tehdy v Sovětském svazu na základě smyšlených obvinění odsouzeno několik tisíc krajanů k trestu smrti, mnoha letům nucených prací v Gulagu, ztrátě majetku či vyhnanství. Jejich rozmanité a tragické osudy jsou popsány předními českými odborníky na základě dlouholetého výzkumu v ukrajinských, ruských a domácích archivech, rozhovorů s pamětníky , ale i s odkazem na práce místních a zahraničních kolegů. Vedle pečlivě zrekonstruovaných osobních příběhů obětí represí v různých regionech Sovětského svazu, historického rozboru vzniku, průběhu a konce Velkého teroru či jeho reflexe v dobovém československém tisku a literatuře kniha přibližuje také místa poprav, vězení a posledního odpočinku zapomenutých obětí sovětského režimu pomocí rozsáhlé obrazové přílohy v podobě dobových i současných fotografií, grafů a map.
K pomoci těm, které vidíme trpět
Studie otevírá filosofickou reflexi fenoménu soucitu jako jednoho z klíčových pojmů osvícenského myšlení a stěžejního motivu Rousseauovy filosofie. Autorka jej komponuje jako ornament trojího principu: citlivosti a emocí; racionálních schopností a reflexe; a rozmanitých podob sebelásky a lásky k sobě samému. V této struktuře sleduje genealogii soucitu od přirozeného citu přes transformovanou morální dispozici až k jeho druhému životu v moderních interpretacích, včetně jakési zvrácené formy soucitu. Postupně promýšlí jeho etickou, sociální a politickou působnost, stejně jako proměny jeho intenzity a kvality. Studie se pokouší demonstrovat, že soucit není marginálním afektem, nýbrž mnohotvárným fundamentem morálky a společenství, jehož význam zůstává naléhavě aktuální pro pochopení člověk a i možností lidského společenství.
Sorozatgyilkos nők
Ha sorozatgyilkosokról hallunk, általában rossz arcú, agresszív férfiakat képzelünk magunk elé, pedig a gyilkos ösztön, a bosszú és a hatalomvágy női sorsokban is megjelenhet.
Magyari Hajnalka könyve olyan nőket mutat be, akik átlépték a társadalom által kijelölt határokat – némelyek tudatosan, mások megbomlott elméjük miatt, esetleg a túlélés kényszerétől hajtva. Vannak köztük méregkeverők, bábák, feleségek, árvák és özvegyek, akiknek a történetei nemcsak a bűnügyi krónikák egy-egy fejezetét jelentik, hanem tükrei annak a világnak, amelyben a női lét korlátai olykor végzetes tettekhez vezettek. A szerző nem a szenzációt keresi, hanem az összefüggéseket: hogyan lett a női tapasztalatból bűn, a társadalmi elnyomásból pedig hatalomvágy és bosszú? A nőtörténet és a kriminológia határán mozgó mű sajtóforrások, levéltári dokumentumok és helyszíni kutatások alapján olyan női sorozatgyilkosokat idéz meg, akiknek az élettörténete a társadalom- és nőtörténet iránt érdeklődő olvasók számára is provokatív és elgondolkodtató olvasmány.
Kovácsné Magyari Hajnalka (PhD) andragógus, szépségtörténész és nőtörténet-kutató, az MTA-VEAB Nőtörténeti Bizottság tagja, az MTA-HTK Lendület Munkaformák Kutatócsoport kutatótagja, az Interpress Magazin (IPM) állandó szerzője
Police Against the Movement
A bold retelling of the 1960s civil rights struggle through its work against police violence—and a prehistory of both the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter movements that emerged half a century laterPolice Against the Movement shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at discrediting and derailing their movement. The history of the civil rights era abounds with accounts of physical brutality by county sheriffs and tales of political intrigue and constitutional violations by FBI agents. Turning our attention to municipal officials in cities and towns across the US—North, South, East, and West—Davis reveals how local police bombarded civil rights organizers with an array of insidious weapons. More than just physical violence, these economic, legal, and reputational attacks were designed to project the illusion of color-blind law enforcement. The civil rights struggle against police abuses is largely overlooked today, the victim of a willful campaign by local law enforcement to erase their record of repression. By placing activism against state violence at the center of the civil rights story, Police Against the Movement offers critical insight into the power of political resistance in the face of government attacks on protest.
One Man’s Freedom
From the acclaimed author of The Fire Is upon Us, the dramatic untold story of Barry Goldwater and Martin Luther King Jr.’s decade-long clash over the meaning of freedom—and how their conflicting visions still divide American politicsIn the mid-1950s, Barry Goldwater and Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as the leaders of two diametrically opposed freedom movements that changed the course of American history—and still divide American politics. King mobilized civil rights activists under the banner of “freedom now,” insisting that true freedom would not be realized until all people—regardless of race—were empowered politically, economically, and socially. Goldwater rallied conservatives to the cause of “extremism in defense of liberty,” advocating radical individualism. In One Man’s Freedom, Nicholas Buccola tells the compelling story of Goldwater and King’s dramatic decade-long debate over the meaning of an all-important American ideal. Part dual biography, part history, One Man’s Freedom traces the actions and words of Goldwater and King over a crucial and eventful decade, from their dizzying rise through 1964, which ended with Goldwater’s landslide defeat in the presidential election and King’s Nobel Peace Prize. The book chronicles why Goldwater and King, who never met in person, came to view each other as perhaps the greatest threat to freedom in America. It explains how their ideas of freedom could be so vastly different, yet both so deeply rooted in American history and their times. And it shows how their disagreement continues to shape and explain politics today, when the bitter divisions between Republicans and Democrats often come down to the question of what kind of freedom Americans want—the one defined by Goldwater or by King?
