We are in one of\r\nthose phases of experience which become cardinal\r\nin history. A series of immense and tragic events\r\nhave shattered the self-complacency and challenged\r\nthe will and intelligence of mankind. That easy\r\ngeneral forward movement of human affairs which\r\nfor several generations had seemed to justify the\r\npersuasion of a necessary and invincible progress,\r\nprogress towards greater powers, greater happiness,\r\nand a continual enlargement of life, has been\r\nchecked violently and perhaps arrested altogether.\r\nThe spectacular catastrophe of the Great War has\r\nrevealed an accumulation of destructive forces in\r\nour outwardly prosperous society, of which few of\r\nus had dreamt; and it has also revealed a profound\r\nincapacity to deal with and restrain these forces.\r\nThe two years of want, confusion, and indecision\r\n[Pg 2]that have followed the Great War in Europe and\r\nAsia, and the uncertainties that have disturbed life\r\neven in the comparatively untouched American\r\nworld, seem to many watchful minds even more\r\nominous to our social order than the war itself.\r\nWhat is happening to our race? they ask. Did\r\nthe prosperities and confident hopes with which the\r\ntwentieth century opened, mark nothing more than\r\na culmination of fortuitous good luck? Has the\r\ncycle of prosperity and progress closed? To what\r\nwill this staggering and blundering, the hatreds\r\nand mischievous adventures of the present time,\r\nbring us? Is the world in the opening of long\r\ncenturies of confusion and disaster such as ended\r\nthe Western Roman Empire in Europe or the\r\nHan prosperity in China? And if so, will the\r\ndebacle extend to America? Or is the American\r\n(and Pacific?) system still sufficiently removed and\r\nstill sufficiently autonomous to maintain a progressive\r\nmovement of its own if the Old World\r\ncollapse?\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 33889 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Wells, H.

Even in the roughest mining camps a woman is absolutely safe, and is treated with a\r\nconsideration unknown in many more civilized centres. This remarkable story illustrates the\r\nWesterners innate chivalry in a very striking fashion. Sooner than drag the name of a young\r\nschoolmistress into a quarrel, a resident of Three Corners, Montana, allowed himself to be made an\r\noutlaw, and for weeks defied the population of a whole county to arrest him, even when a field gun\r\nwas brought out to shell his fastness. How in his extremity the girl he had befriended came to his\r\nrescue and put an end to this extraordinary war is graphically told in the narrative.\nIn the extreme western part of the\r\nState of Montana, U.S.A., in the\r\nCounty of Beulah, lies a little town\r\ncalled Three Corners. At first only\r\na junction on the Rio Grande Railway,\r\nfrom which point countless thousands of\r\ncattle were shipped to all parts of the world,\r\nThree Corners grew to be a flourishing place.\r\nThe wooden shanties, gambling joints, and\r\ndance halls gave way to brick buildings, several\r\nbanks, a school, and other signs of progress, as\r\nrespectable settlers moved farther toward the\r\nGolden West. Of course, a part of the old town\r\nremained, and with it a few of the characters\r\ntypical of a Western cow town. Among\r\nthese was a tall, raw-boned man who had drifted\r\nWest in the eighties, settling at Three Corners\r\nand opening a gambling-house. His name was\r\nJim Cutler. He was a man of very few\r\nwords, but with one great failinghe would\r\nshoot first and argue afterwards. Yet this gambler,\r\nwho was known and feared far and wide as a\r\ngun-fighter, was at heart the mildest of men,\r\nbeloved by all the children in the town, to whom\r\nhe gave coppers galore. Furthermore, Cutler\r\nwould put up with all manner of insult from a\r\nman under the influence of liquor, or from\r\nTenderfeet who did not know their danger.\r\nCutlers shooting propensities were directed\r\nsolely toward avowed bad men or those who\r\ndelighted in being known as bullies. In the\r\ncourse of his altercations with such characters\r\nthis tall, raw-boned manwho could, and did,\r\npull his gun like a streak of lightningadded\r\nto the population of the local cemetery with a\r\nscore of six.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 50608 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Various \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 4, 2015 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Various \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43222121152669,"sku":"gb-50608-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/50608_7075d4ee-c490-4e25-bc7a-eb321bf3dbda.jpg?v=1671773389"},{"product_id":"the-wide-world-magazine-vol-22-no-131-february-1909-gb-51061","title":"The Wide World Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 131, February, 1909","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wide World Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 131, February, 1909\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother instalment of a fascinating budget of adventure narratives.

Many of them may\nnot have the opportunity to read the larger volumes of\nhistories; and, indeed, even if they had, they would find\ntheir choice of books very much restricted when they\ncame to the more recent period of European and world\nhistory, although in the last year or so the gap has to some\nextent been filled up by several interesting studies of international\npolitics in the nineteenth century. Some knowledge\nof this period is essential if we are to understand\nthe full significance of the events of to-day, and if we are\nto form any helpful opinion of the course to be pursued\nin future.\nHistorians often take for granted that their readers\nalready have some general knowledge of the groundwork\nof events and they build up their structure of criticism,\ntheir delineation of policy and tendencies, and their survey\nof international problems on the assumption that the\nscaffolding has been erected. But often it has not, and\nthen history, more especially the complex tangle of international\nhistory, becomes difficult to grasp. It may\ntherefore serve some useful purpose if a few poles of scaffolding\nrepresenting the dates and outline of conflicts\nand agreements between nations can be supplied in a very\nbrief and easily intelligible form, a presentment of the\nbare record of facts which may be useful for reference.\nDuring the last hundred years war has been a more\ncommon occurrence in international intercourse than most\npeople realize. The forty-two records of wars tabled in\nthese pages do not cover the whole ground. They are8\nthe chief conflicts, or the conflicts fraught with the most\nserious consequences, but they are by no means the\nonly occasions on which there was fighting in the world.\nRevolutions, unless they led to international war, are\nnot mentioned, neither are expeditions such as the advance\non Llassa, the Chitral expedition, the Indian frontier wars,\nthe Kaffir wars, the Somaliland expeditions, the revolt of\nthe Herreroes in German West Africa or the French\nexpeditions in Morocco: the wars between the states\nof South America, with two exceptions, have also been\nomitted. But the list as it stands, is striking enough and\nmay suffice to make the student inquire further into the\ncircumstances which produced this almost unceasing strife.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 60026 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Ponsonby, Arthur Ponsonby \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 31, 2019 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ponsonby, Arthur Ponsonby \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43242129391773,"sku":"gb-60026-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/60026.jpg?v=1672629347"},{"product_id":"on-tyranny-twenty-lessons-from-the-twentieth-century-9780804190114","title":"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cb\u003e#1\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eBESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e- A\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"bracing\" (\u003ci\u003eVox\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eguide for surviving and resisting America's turn towards authoritarianism, from \"a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief.

We come to appreciate the importance of traditions (championed by the right) but also the role of institutions (the purview of the left). Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Snyder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593728727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2024 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Snyder\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Temerty Chair in Modern European History at the Munk School, University of Toronto, and is a permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.

With quiet support from the United States and tacit approval from much of Argentina's people, who are tired of constant bombings and gunfights, the junta swiftly launches the National Reorganization Process or \u003ci\u003eEl Proceso\u003c\/i\u003e--a bland name masking their ruthless campaign to crush the political left and instill the country with \"Western, Christian\" values.

A group of fierce grandmothers forms the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, dedicated to finding the stolen infants and seeking justice from a nation that betrayed them. At a time when speaking out could mean death, the Abuelas confront military officers and launch protests to reach international diplomats and journalists.

Construction cranes dotted the skyline of its booming capital, Tehran. The regime's feared secret police force SAVAK had crushed communist opposition, and the Shah had bought off the conservative Muslim clergy inside the country. He seemed invulnerable, and invaluable to the United States as an ally in the Cold War. Fourteen months later the Shah fled Iran into exile, forced from the throne by a volcanic religious revolution led by a fiery cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini. The ensuing hostage crisis forever damaged America's standing in the world.

That event became the benchmark for atrocity, and, in the Western imagination, the paradigmatic genocide. Its memory orients so much of our thinking, and crucially, forms the basic justification for Israel's right first to establish itself and then to defend itself. But in many parts of the world, ravaged by other conflicts and experiences of mass slaughter, the Holocaust's singularity is not always taken for granted, even when its hideous atrocity is.

At a moment when the world's balance of power is shifting, and the Global North no longer commands ultimate authority, it is critically important that we understand how and why the two halves of the world are failing to talk to each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs old touchstones and landmarks crumble, only a new history with a sharply different emphasis can reorient us to the world and worldviews now emerging into the light.

But soon swept up in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution, she met her second partner, the Communist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his \"political deviations,\" he fell victim to Stalin's purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the Soviet gulag.

They ended with the First Battle of Ypres, a struggle in West Flanders, Belgium, whose importance has been too long overlooked--until now. Robert Cowley's fresh, novelistic account of this crucial period describes how German armies in France were poised to sweep north to capture the Channel ports and knock England out of the war--and were only held back by a brilliant improvisation from a cobbled-together handful of desperate British, French, and Belgian troops. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a re-examination of events that have too long seemed set in stone, Cowley combines a wide array of source materials with sharp portrayals both of military leaders and of the men they led.

Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source.

Incredibly, after the war her heroism, like that of many others, was suppressed by communist Poland and remained virtually unknown for 60 years. Unknown, that is, until three high school girls from an economically depressed, rural school district in southeast Kansas stumbled upon a tantalizing reference to Sendler's rescues, which they fashioned into a history project, a play they called Life in a Jar. Their innocent drama was first seen in Kansas, then the Midwest, then New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and finally Poland, where they elevated Irena Sendler to a national hero, championing her legacy of tolerance and respect for all people. Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project is a Holocaust history and more. It is the inspirational story of Protestant students from Kansas, each carrying her own painful burden, each called in her own complex way to the history of a Catholic woman who knocked on Jewish doors in the Warsaw ghetto and, in Sendler's own words, \"tried to talk the mothers out of their children.\" Inspired by Irena Sendler, they are living examples of the power of one person to change the world and models for young people everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Mayer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Long Trail Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984111312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jack Mayer \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47280708026525,"sku":"9780984111312","price":38.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_bbc371c9-0d0a-473e-b167-c93eb7365a2e.jpg?v=1759919408"},{"product_id":"parallel-lives-a-love-story-from-a-lost-continent-9781324073772","title":"Parallel Lives: A Love Story from a Lost Continent","description":"\u003cp\u003eBest-selling novelist and art historian Iain Pears enchants readers with the real-life romance between Larissa Salmina, a Russian art curator, and Francis Haskell, a British art historian.
