Keith L. Nelson, "The Making of Détente: Soviet-American Relations in the Shadow of Vietnam"
English | 2019 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 1421436205 | PDF | 17,5 mb
Originally published in 1995. In the early 1970s, largely as a result of the debilitating struggle in Vietnam, the United States began to reassess and redefine its basic approach to East-West relations. At the same time, the Soviet Union was awakening to the liabilities that a continuing and unregulated state of hostility would impose on its own internal and external agenda. Keith Nelson details the circumstances and traces the steps that led to the first significant accommodation and easing of tension between the superpowers during the Cold War.

Peter Browne, "The Longest Journey: Resettling Refugees from Africa"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 0868408263 | PDF | pages: 177 | 6.2 mb
Australia is one of only ten western countries which resettles refugees recommended by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The federal government has justifiably defended this long-term contribution to assisting the world's refugees. But how fair is the resettlement process? Does it always-as Amanda Vanstone and her predecessor, Philip Ruddock, insist-help the neediest of all refugees? Drawing on interviews with refugees, policymakers, officials and aid workers in Nairobi, Kakuma, Geneva, Canberra and Melbourne, this book looks at the opportunities and obstacles that face refugees whose homelands are in turmoil.

Paula Mejia, "The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy "
English | ISBN: 1628929502 | 2016 | 136 pages | PDF | 1010 KB
The Jesus and Mary Chain's swooning debut Psychocandy seared through the underground and through the pop charts, shifting the role of noise within pop music forever. Post-punk and pro-confusion, Psychocandy became the sound of a generation poised on the brink of revolution, establishing Creation Records as a tastemaking entity in the process. The Scottish band's notorious live performances were both punishingly loud and riot-spurring, inevitably acting as socio-political commentary on tensions emergent in mid-1980s Britain. Through caustic clangs and feedback channeling the rage of the working-class who'd had enough,

James Marten, "The History of Childhood: A Very Short Introduction"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0190681381 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 3.1 mb
While children are a relatively unchanging fact of life, childhood is a constantly shifting concept. Throughout the millennia, the age at which a child becomes a youth and a youth becomes an adult has varied by gender, class, religion, ethnicity, place, and economic need. As author James Marten explores in this Very Short Introduction, so too have the realities of childhood, each life shaped by factors such as education, expectation, and conflict (or lack thereof). Indeed, ancient Roman children lived very differently than those born of today's Generation Z.
