English | July 15th, 2022 | ISBN: 9781250121622 | 180 pages | True EPUB | 1.36 MB
Vital research is starting to challenge long-standing assumptions about gender identity and biological sex, such as work that indicates the brain is a "mosaic" of traits rather than a "male" and "female" brain. Growing knowledge of the genetic complexities of sexual determination is (slowly) changing the way the medical community treats intersex individuals, and in this eBook, The New Science of Sex and Gender, we not only examine the latest studies in biology, medicine and psychology but also, more importantly, their bearing on healthcare, identity and access.

Christoph Cornelissen, "The Mediatization of War and Peace: The Role of the Media in Political Communication, Narratives, and Public Memory (191"
English | ISBN: 3110707365 | 2021 | 294 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
During the First World War, mass media achieved an enormous and continuously growing importance in all belligerent countries. Newspaper, illustrated magazines, comics, pamphlets, and instant books, fi ctional works, photography, and the new-born "theater of imagery", the cinema, were crucial in order to create a heroic vision of the events, to mobilize and maintain the consensus on the war. But their role was pivotal also in creating the image of the war's end and fi nally, together with a widespread, new literary genre, the war memoirs, to shape the collective memory of the confl ict for the next generations. Even before November 1918, the media raised high expectations for a multifaceted peace: a new global order, the beginning of a peaceful era, the occasion for a regenerating apocalypse. Likewise, in the following decades, particularly war literature and cinema were pivotal to reverse the icon of the Great War as an epic crusade and a glorious chapter of the national history and to create the hegemonic image of a senseless carnage.The Mediatization of War and Peacefocalizes on the central role played by mass media in the tortuous transition to the post-war period as well as on the profound disenchantment generated by their prophesies.

Thomas A. Fudge, "The Magnificent Ride: The First Reformation in Hussite Bohemia "
English | ISBN: 1859283721 | | 330 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
The Magnificent Ride examines the social and religious dimensions of the Hussite revolutionary movement in 15th-century Bohemia. It argues that 'the magnificent ride' was, in fact, the first reformation, and not merely a precursor to the reformations of the 16th century. The religious revival which had begun in Prague in the later middle ages reached its zenith in the period between Jan Hus and the Council of Basel. This book reconstructs the Hussite myth and shows how that myth evolved into the historical phenomenon of heresy. Acts of heretical practice in Bohemia, condemnation of Jan Hus, defiance of ecclesiastical authority and attempts by the official church to deal with the dissenters are fascinating chapters in the history of late medieval Europe.

Tushar Gandhi, "The Lost Diary of Kastur, My Ba"
English | ISBN: 9354898947 | 2022 | 312 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
A couple of years ago, the staff of Gandhi Research Foundation of Jalgaon found a deteriorating and damaged diary at Kasturba Ashram, Indore. It turned out to be a 135-page diary written by Kasturba Gandhi, from January to September 1933. Somewhat like Kasturba, her diary lay forgotten and neglected. This book is a reproduction of the diary, accompanied by a transcription of what she has written in Gujarati, along with an English translation by her great-grandson, Tushar Gandhi. All her life, Kasturba was considered uneducated and unlettered. Initially when Tushar Gandhi spoke about the diary to family members, they refused to believe that there could be such a thing: 'She was illiterate. She could not write.' As Tushar read Kasturba's diary, this assumption was dispelled. It provided a glimpse into who she was―an individual, a companion and a satyagrahi in her own right, unlettered but astute. In The Lost Diary of Kastur, My Ba, the reader gets to hear from Kasturba, in her own words, for the first time. Through day-to-day activities, it provides a peek into what it was like to be married to the 'Mahatma'. Here was a woman who was witnessing history being made, observing and understanding the process and participating in it, too. It also tells of her two imprisonments that year, not because she was Bapu's spouse but because she was offering satyagraha herself. A century and half after her birth, this book finally presents Kasturba as her own person, a woman of substance.

The Globalist Agenda 2.0. War, Food, and Energy Crisis.: The Putin-Bill Gates Deal. (The globalist agenda is real and dangerous.) by César Madrigal
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B6GYVGVJ | 115 pages | MOBI | 0.47 Mb
If the pandemic was used to increase social control, advance the world government with the health excuse and destroy the economy with confinements, nowa new stage begins in which inflation will serve to implement a new dual monetary order, East-West, the eastern side being led by China and Russia, and the western by the United States and Europe. This new dual order will not be based on two economic models, since the two economic models of the East and the West are very similar, but rather we are going to experience the fight for world finances, the fight for currency hegemony, with a dollar that its future is being played out by the actions of the White House itself and by the United States Treasury, and the rise of a new monetary standard that in principle was going to be produced in a few years, but that already has an embryo or project, having as protagonist not the yuan, but the ruble and raw materials. The West has the dollar and wants to sink countries with raw materials like Russia.

The Crisis of Theory: E.P. Thompson, the new left and postwar British politics by Scott Hamilton
English | May 1, 2011 | ISBN: 0719084350, 0719089093 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 2.1 MB
The crisis of theory tells the story of the political and intellectual adventures of E. P. Thompson, one of Britain's foremost twentieth-century thinkers. Drawing on extraordinary new unpublished documents, Scott Hamilton shows that all of Thompson's work, from his acclaimed histories to his voluminous political writings to his little-noticed poetry, was inspired by the same passionate and idiosyncratic vision of the world. Hamilton shows the connection between Thompson's famously ferocious attack on the 'Stalinism in theory' of Louis Althusser and his assaults on positivist social science in books like The making of the English working class, and he produces previously unseen evidence to show that Thompson's hostility to both left and right-wing forms of authoritarianism was rooted in first-hand experience of violent political repression.
