Nancy Snow, "Information War: American Propaganda, Free Speech, and Opinion Control Since 9/11"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 1583225579 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 2.0 mb
In Information War, former United States Information Agency employee Nancy Snow describes how U.S. propaganda efforts and covert operations are expanding more rapidly today than at any other time in U.S. history, as the Bush administration attempts to increase U.S. dominance by curbing dissent and controlling opinion. Snow lays out the propaganda techniques that the government uses to control dissent in the twenty-first century, spotlights the key players and their spinmeistering abilities in the information war, and describes memorable "leaks" in the Administration's efforts to conduct stealth propaganda programs and control information at home. Ultimately she shows that dissent and true democracy are the early casualties of these policies.

Ice Bear The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon

Ice Bear The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon
Michael Engelhard, "Ice Bear: The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0295999225 | 304 pages | EPUB | 10.6 MB
Prime Arctic predator and nomad of the sea ice and tundra, the polar bear endures as a source of wonder, terror, and fascination. Humans have seen it as spirit guide and fanged enemy, as trade good and moral metaphor, as food source and symbol of ecological crisis. Eight thousand years of artifacts attest to its charisma, and to the fraught relationships between our two species. In the White Bear, we acknowledge the magic of wildness: it is both genuinely itself and a screen for our imagination.
