Название:False choices : the faux feminism of Hillary Rodham Clinton

"Hillary Rodham Clinton is one of the most powerful women in world politics, and the irrational right-wing hatred of Clinton has fed her progressive appeal, helping turn her into a feminist icon. To get a woman in the White House, it's thought, would be an achievement for all women everywhere, a kind of trickle-down feminism. In the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, the mantle of feminist elect has descended on Hillary Clinton, as a thousand viral memes applaud her, and most mainstream feminist leaders, thinkers, and organizations endorse her.

Название:Living with the Ancestors: Kinship and Kingship in Ancient Maya Society
Автор: Patricia A. McAnany
Издательство: University of Texas Press
Год: 1995
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 115
Для сайта: Mirknig.su
Размер: 22 MB
Язык: English
Integrating archaeological, epigraphic, ethnohistoric, and ethnographic data, McAnany argues that lineage is the organizing principle throughout all segments of Maya society, elite and non-elite alike. She questions the monolithic view of the Classic Maya as a society of kings and peasants and instead describes the Classic Period as an era of dynamic tension between the older organizational structures of the lineages and the newer, more centralized and extractive forces of divine kingship. A first approach to a complete history of the Maya, this work integrates ritual practice with agrarian concerns and household structure; it is important reading for everyone interested in Mesoamerican culture.

Название:American Hoops: U.S. Men's Olympic Basketball from Berlin to Beijing

Those who avidly followed the on-court acrobatics and off-court celebrity of the “Dream Team” in Barcelona in 1992 would hardly recognize what passed as basketball fifty-six years earlier, when the United States first played the game in the 1936 Olympics. In those early days of men’s Olympic basketball, many teams lacked basic skills, games were played in the pouring rain, only seven players could suit up, and the rules allowed only two substitutions and no time-outs. How this slow, low-scoring sport became the breakneck game that enraptures millions worldwide is the story of American Hoops.

Название:America's Shame: Women and Children in Shelter and the Degradation of Family Roles
Автор: Barbara A. Arrighi
Издательство: ABC-CLIO .
Год: 1997
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 158
Для сайта: Mirknig.su
Размер: 7 MB
Язык: English
Rejecting those who urge a bootstrap approach to people living in extreme poverty on the edge of society, sociologist Barbara Arrighi makes an eloquent, compassionate plea for empathy and collective responsibility toward those for whom either the boots or the straps are missing. This book further offers solutions in consciousness raising, community collaboration, and informed, responsible public policy. The book is a critique of a system that purports to serve yet sometimes impedes the welfare of those who are in need of the basic elements for survival, including affordable shelter.

 Название: Raid on the Sun: Inside Israel's Secret Campaign that Denied Saddam the Bomb
Автор: Rodger Claire
Издательство: Broadway Books
Год: 2005
Формат: PDF
Размер: 45 Мб
Язык: английский / English
From the earliest days of his dictatorship, Saddam Hussein had vowed to destroy Israel. So when France sold Iraq a top-of-the-line nuclear reactor in 1975, the Israelis were justifiably concerned—especially when they discovered that Iraqi scientists had already formulated a secret program to extract weapons-grade plutonium from the reactor, a first critical step in creating an atomic bomb.
The reactor formed the heart of a huge nuclear plant situated twelve miles from Baghdad, 1,100 kilometers from Tel Aviv. By 1981, the reactor was on the verge of becoming “hot,” and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin knew he would have to confront its deadly potential. He turned to Israeli Air Force commander General David Ivry to secretly plan a daring surgical strike on the reactor—a never-before-contemplated mission that would prove to be one of the most remarkable military operations of all time. | |

In 1948, civil rights for black Americans stood higher on the national political agenda than at any time since Reconstruction. President Harry Truman issued orders for fair employment and the integration of the armed forces, and he proceeded to campaign on a platform that included an unprecedented civil rights plank, pushed through the Democratic convention by Hubert Humphrey. But on the other side of the globe, his administration paid close attention to another election as well: the surprising triumph of the white-supremacist National Party in South Africa, reluctantly accepted by the Truman White House.
