The Religious Subversion of Democracy

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We have no evidence that there is any personal Superbeing who has anything to do with our lives. The best evidence we have is that we live in a universe of chance and probability, with physical laws that can describe only the interaction of large objects. The only god we know is the god of chance which chooses, by natural selection, those who have adapted to their environment, and unceremoniously, without remorse, eliminates those who do not adapt. If we accept this apparent fact, we will make entirely different decisions about how we manage our personal lives, and the structure of our societies. We will see that blind allegiance to the wild mythologies of our major religions is ripping apart the fabric of our societies. The religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are schizophrenically bipolar. Until we realize we are blindly hating and killing each other on the basis of false myths, peaceful co-existence of all people will not be possible. [detailed...]

The Reluctant Communist: My Desertion, Court-Martial, and Forty-Year Imprisonment in North Korea

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In January of 1965, twenty-four-year-old U.S. Army sergeant Charles Robert Jenkins abandoned his post in South Korea, walked across the DMZ, and surrendered to communist North Korean soldiers standing sentry along the world`s most heavily militarized border. He believed his action would get him back to the States and a short jail sentence. Instead he found himself in another sort of prison, where for forty years he suffered under one of the most brutal and repressive regimes the world has known. This fast-paced, harrowing tale, told plainly and simply by Jenkins (with journalist Jim Frederick), takes the reader behind the North Korean curtain and reveals the inner workings of its isolated society while offering a powerful testament to the human spirit.

Lawrence C. Reardon
The Reluctant Dragon: Crisis Cycles in Chinese Foreign Economic Policy (Studies of the East Asian Institute)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chinese foreign economic policy before 1978 has been considered isolationist and centered on Maoist self-reliance. In this revisionist analysis, Lawrence Reardon argues that China was not out of touch with the global marketplace during the 1949--78 period and that Deng Xiaopingis heralded liberalizations in fact were revisions and expansions of policies from the Maoist period. The dramatic economic reforms initiated by Chinais leaders in 1978 boosted GDP by between 9 and 13 percent each year during the 1980s and 1990s, while the nationis foreign trade figures rose from a trivial US$1.94 billion in 1952 to US$325 billion in 1997. By opening to the outside world and liberalizing the domestic economic infrastructure, China has become the third largest and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The story of Chinais on-again, off-again trade efforts provides an important window on the cyclical struggle for power between Mao Zedongis… [detailed...]

Description: With the help of a bright little boy, a poetic dragon defies stereotypes in a humorous tale by the author of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, abridged and splendidly illustrated by Inga Moore. Dragons are a scourge and must be abolished — at least, that`s what all the villagers say. It doesn`t seem to matter that this particular dragon wouldn`t hurt a fly and is more than content to laze by his cave and make up poetry. He certainly doesn`t want to fight, though it seems he will have no choice when St. George arrives on his warhorse with golden armor gleaming, carrying the longest, wickedest spear you ever did see. Still, the dragon does have one friend — the shepherd`s son, a small boy with a great deal of sense and imagination. Will he find a way to solve the dragonA?s dilemma? [detailed...]

The Reluctant Spiritualist : The Life of Maggie Fox

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Here is the first authoritative biography of Margaret Fox, the world-famous medium and cofounder of the Spiritualism movement that swept America in the mid-1800s. In 1848, fifteen-year-old Maggie and her sister Katy created rapping sounds by manipulating their toe joints, practicing until they convinced their parents that their farmhouse was haunted. What started as a prank soon transformed into a movement: By 1853 more than thirty thousand mediums were at work, with Maggie among themost famous. But when she denounced the faith in 1888-appearing before a packed auditorium in her stocking feet to demonstrate-Spiritualism withered almost as quickly as it had bloomed. Through the memoirs of the Fox sisters, the letters of Maggie`s Arctic explorer husband, contemporary newspaper accounts, and other primary sources, Nancy Rubin Stuart creates a vibrant portrait of a Victorian-era woman at the heart of the tumults of her time.

Publisher: Three Rivers Press
Description: Millard Fillmore has been mocked, maligned, or, most cruelly of all, ignored by generations of historians--but no more! This unbelievable new biography finally rescues the unlucky thirteenth U.S. president from the dustbin of history and shows why a man known as a blundering, arrogant, shallow, miserable failure was really our greatest leader. In the first fully researched portrait of Fillmore ever written, the reader can finally come face-to-face with a misunderstood genius. By meticulously extrapolating outrageous conclusions from the most banal and inconclusive of facts, The Remarkable Millard Fillmore reveals the adventures of an unjustly forgotten president. He fought at the Battle of the Alamo! He shepherded slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad! He discovered gold in California! He wrestled with the emperor of Japan! It is a list of achievements that puts those of Washington and Lincoln completely in the shade. Refusing to be held back by established history or… [detailed...]

The Remasculinization of Korean Cinema (Asia-Pacific)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Descriptionn one of the first English-language studies of Korean cinema to date, Kyung Hyun Kim shows how the New Korean Cinema of the past quarter century has used the trope of masculinity to mirror the profound sociopolitical changes in the country. Since 1980, South Korea has transformed from an insular, authoritarian culture into a democratic and cosmopolitan society. The transition has fueled anxiety about male identity, and amid this tension, empowerment has been imagined as remasculinization.Kim argues that the brutality and violence ubiquitous in many Korean films is symptomatic of Korea?s on-going quest for modernity and a post-authoritarian identity. Kim offers in-depth examinations of more than a dozen of the most representativefilms produced in Korea since 1980. In the process, he draws on the theories of Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Zizek, Gilles Deleuze, Rey Chow, and Kaja Silverman to follow the historical trajectory of screen representations of Korean men from… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionGrieco analyzes the influence of continued migration and network participation on Micronesian migrant household remittance behavior. She focuses on factors that influence the continued existence of migrant/non-migrant relationships in which remittances are exchanged. Her results show that family reunification migration is the underlying social process that determines household remittance behavior. Increasing, continuing, or declining remittance levels simply reflect the process of household reconstitution overseas. Thus, as families reunite in the new homeland, less money is sent back to the country of origin. In addition, participation by households in migrant networks positively influences remittance behavior. [detailed...]

Description: How do I decide what to do with my life when there are so many things I want to do? It is conventional wisdom that there is one true path in life for each of us. But what about those with a wide array of interests, a dynamic curiosity about the world, and an ever-renewing wellspring of passions? Margaret Lobenstine calls these people “Renaissance Souls,” and in this groundbreaking book, she offers a life-planning strategy in tune with their dynamic, change-loving personalities. Renaissance Souls often get stuck, moving from entry-level job to entry-level job, degree to degree, or hobby to hobby, unwilling to settle on just one thing to do “for the rest of my life.” Or, after achieving success in one field, they yearn for new challenges and begin looking around for something different. Yet they are also afraid that if they pursue their changing interests, they will have to give up on financial security, becoming “a jack of all trades and master of… [detailed...]
