George Washington's One-Man Army
From Brandywine to Yorktown, follow the astonishing real-life journey of the Revolutionary War’s most mythic warrior. “One-Man Army” was George Washington’s nom de guerre for Peter Francisco. Abducted from the Azores and deposited in the colony of Virginia at the age of four, little Pedro Francisco was an orphan from a strange land in the New World. Renamed Peter Francisco, the youngster found a home under indenture to Patrick Henry’s uncle as a blacksmith. Peter was present for Henry’s famous speech, hearing firsthand the words “Give me Liberty or Give me Death.” By the age of fourteen, he would grow to 6 feet-6 inches and 260 pounds. He would fashion himself an apex warrior serving both in the patriot infantry and cavalry. In his capacity as a soldier, Peter Francisco participated in some of the fiercest fighting, witnessed the greatest events, and met an astounding number of luminaries from early America headlined by generals George Washington, Nathanael Greene, and the Marquis de Lafayette. All told, Peter fought in at least ten battles and received six gruesome wounds as he dispatched over 20 enemy soldiers . . . mostly by the bayonet and a 6-foot broadsword commissioned for him by Washington. His feats of courage and strength were legendary as he is reputed to have carried a half-ton cannon from the battlefield at Camden. Postwar, he became a planter and businessman. Endeavoring to educate himself, he overcame illiteracy and developed into a voracious reader. As a veteran, the ”Virginia Giant” was sought out for meetings by the Secretary of State and was received in the home of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was thrice married into Virginia society, a father of six, and a fixture in the Commonwealth serving as Sergeant at Arms for the legislature late in life. Known to all throughout the newly independent thirteen states, Peter Francisco’s exploits were all but lost to history . . . until now.

Inner Zone
Unearths a buried history of retributive violence that unfolded inside besieged SarajevoIn asymmetrical conflicts, how should we acknowledge suffering on the side of the perpetrators of violence? How can we do so without losing sight of the harm they inflicted, and without relativizing the suffering of their victims? Inner Zone introduces a new approach to telling contentious histories of war and explores the political implications of refusing to extend recognition to those who suffer on the "wrong" side of a conflict. Bosnian Serb forces held the city of Sarajevo under siege from 1992 until 1995. Inner Zone revisits this emblematic conflict from the perspective of Bosnian Serb women who remained in the city during the siege years. As Serb civilians came to be associated with the ethno-national aggressor, these women became targets of collective punishment and retribution. The war crimes committed against them have been written out of most academic and journalistic accounts of the war, and in Sarajevo, they have become a public secret. Pluralizing the monolithic story of the siege into zones of violence, Jelena Golubovic locates an inner zone of retribution within the larger outer zone of besiegement, telling a nested history that reconfigures how we think about victimhood and complicity across both sides of a conflict. As Bosnian Serb women tell their previously untold stories through ethnographic interviews, Golubovic remains attentive to the anxious sense of exclusion that haunts them in the postwar city. While their victimization is erased from the dominant narrative of the war in Sarajevo, the Bosnian Serb ethno-nationalist elite emphasize it to claim exclusive victimhood. Inner Zone takes on the challenge of disentangling lived experiences of violence from the grip of ethno-nationalist misappropriation, arguing that a sense of misrecognition and unacknowledged injury can ultimately lead victims of the inner zone of violence to adopt ethno-nationalist narratives and goals.
Empire and Nation in the City
To curb the influence of minority populations and "outside enemies," the Ottoman government implemented new and experimental Tanzimat reforms within the empire’s center and provincial regions. By the 1860s, the city of Rusçuk in present-day Bulgaria and capital of the Ottoman Danube province became a test case for this expansive reform movement within an urbanizing and contested peripheral landscape. In Empire and Nation in the City, Mehmet Çelik traces how the Danube province and Rusçuk, in particular, experienced a series of swift political transitions from a "modernized" Ottoman administration, to a Russian provisional government, and finally to a Bulgarian nation-state. Çelik examines the transformative effects of each political system, arguing that Bulgarian nationalism was not a uniform ideology, but a flexible and mutable one that engaged multiple loyalties—Bulgarian and Ottoman among them. To understand these competing loyalties, he explores the diverse religious and multiethnic makeup of Rusçuk and the multifaceted responses to imperial control, nationalist sympathies, and political movements. Rather than assess Ottoman rule and Bulgarian nationhood as separate periods, Çelik bridges these moments to understand the continuity of Ottoman reforms within a burgeoning Bulgarian nation.
Ukraine’s Move to the West
This book examines the intervention of global elite networks in the context of Ukraine’s EU-IMF deal within the overall ‘Euromaidan moment’ (late 2013–early 2014). It develops an empirically grounded investigation focused on three sets of modalities within the EU-IMF package during this time period – namely, GM agriculture (biotechnology), hydraulic fracking and an internationally enabled regime change – as proposed solutions for urgent problems confronting Ukraine. There is a particular spotlight on the intersections between corporate actors, political players, foundations and think tanks in the reproduction of particular constellations of power between Western (particularly U.S.-based) networks and Ukrainian agents and intermediaries. The complexity of social dynamics allow for multiple forms of power to operate at once in this space of international politics. This book details and analyses how the global elite network operating around Ukraine at this time produced the three unusual outcomes associated with the agreed EU-IMF policy agenda (GM agriculture, fracking and a regime change). It contributes to the analysis of how global elite networks operate and power works in international relations, and also enhances how the tumultuous politics of Ukraine in the current century are understood.The subject of this book is fairly controversial and is a high-profile current political problem. Looking at these issues through the analytical framework of social networks brings forward a welcomed investigation into agency in international studies. The attention to personal and political ties of mutual interdependence differs from more commonly used mainstream accounts of global politics that rely on ‘US versus Russia’ narratives or on corporate elites pursuing business deals. This book shows how close ties of social acquaintance and political-economic compacts prove crucial to understanding how the key issue areas evolved. This book advances the understanding of how power works in international politics, showing how it is built through different forms. It also advances the understanding of how global elite networks are formed and operate, along with specific investigation into the importance of gatekeepers, and thus explains the international political economy of Ukraine at a key moment and should prove invaluable to many academic and popular explanations.

Metra světa
Obyvatelé mnoha velkoměst po celém světě si dnes už neumí představit, že
by významnou součást hromadné dopravy netvořilo i metro. První linka
podzemní dráhy vznikla v Londýně v roce 1863, v roce 1896 následovala
Budapešť a Glasgow. Metro se pak postupně objevilo na všech
kontinentech. Největší boom rozvoje tratí metra dnes zažívá Čína a Indie.
Kniha se věnuje vybraným zajímavým světovým systémům metra, a to jak z
pohledu vedení tratí, tak používaných vozidel, ale i architektury
dopravních staveb. Samozřejmostí je krátký historický úvod i technický
popis systému metra v jednotlivých zemích. Nechybí ani přehled všech
podzemních drah světa s vysvětlivkou, že jde o „tradiční“ metro, nikoliv
například o tratě „lehké železnice“, které se do této oblasti často
mylně zahrnují. Za metro nepovažujeme ani výhradně povrchové tratě
(leckdy také označované jako „metro“), ani kombinované systémy
takzvaných vlakotramvají, u nichž je v podzemí vedena jen určitá část
trati a jsou navíc kompatibilní s ostatní tramvajovou dopravou. V
případě „tradičního“ metra toto vše odpadá, neboť jezdí na vlastní
infrastruktuře s vlastním systémem řízení.

Mojžiš – aféra Rocha Thériaulta

Tak sa začína najmrazivejší príbeh, aký kedy vyrozprávala obeť sekty, ktorej členovia mali mať v nebi zaručené miesto. Gabrielle prežila cyklón lásky a nenávisti, pričom celý čas dúfala, že koniec sveta, ktorý predpovedal ich guru, skutočne nastane. Len to ju mohlo vyslobodiť. Dnes sa napriek hrozbám a zastrašovaniu snaží vypovedať celú neúnosnú pravdu.

Knihu lze číst popořadě, protože se řídí časovou osou od biblických dob po současný Izrael, anebo napřeskáčku, jak které období a literární díla čtenáře zajímá, či si v ní jen tak listovat a nechat se inspirovat rozmanitými příběhy z různých časových období. Jako antologie textů by kniha především měla čtenáře vyzvat k tomu, aby po nějaké knize či knihách, blízkých jeho srdci, sáhl a přečetl si je.
