Rhode Island

Rhode Island
Rhode Island By Andrew Collins
2003 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 1566913748 | PDF | 66 MB
Though small in stature, Rhode Island packs more living into its small borders than any other U.S. state. Founded by a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay colony in the 17th century, this proud little state has emerged from its slumping post-industrial economy to become more than just a Boston to New York City thru-way. With Moon Handbooks Rhode Island, Andrew Collins leads travelers on a fascinating journey through the state's six centuries of history, folklore and reality. Being small means everything's close -- more than half the population lives within a 15-mile drive of the State House in Providence and everybody in the Ocean State lives within a 30-mile drive from either the beach or Narragansett Bay, America's second-largest estuary. Covering all aspects of the ocean state -- from the shores of Newport, South County, and Block Island to the city streets of Providence to the industrial heritage of the Blackstone river valley -- Moon Handbooks Rhode Island is the perfect guide for exploring this fascinating state.

Resilience Militaries and Militarization

Resilience Militaries and Militarization
Resilience: Militaries and Militarization
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031133668 | 233 Pages | PDF (True) | 4.4 MB
This book explores the concept of 'resilience' in the context of militaries and militarization. Focusing on the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, and continental Europe, it argues that, post-9/11, there has been a shift away from 'trauma' and towards 'resilience' in framing and understanding human responses to calamitous events. The contributors to this volume show how resilience-speech has been militarized, and deeply entrenched in imagined communities. As the concept travels, it is applied in diverse and often contradictory ways to a vast array of experiences, contexts, and scientific fields and disciplines. By embracing diverse methodologies and perspectives, this book reflects on how resilience has been weaponized and employed in highly gendered ways, and how it is central to neoliberal governance in the twenty-first century. While critical of the use of resilience, the chapters also reflects on more positive ways for humans to respond to unforeseen challenges.
