We wanted to be good people and everything turned out very differently
Author: Mahala + Menachem Sanchez
Publisher: novum publishing
ISBN: 1642685801
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Every change that humans make to their environment, to animals and plants, is not without consequences for humans themselves - and these are often serious, manifesting themselves in an increase in diseases and a decimation of life in fields and forests, which in turn has repercussions for humans. A holistic approach to the world is therefore becoming increasingly necessary, a meta-perspective on all life - both human and animal. The book offers a look at the development of humans and their living and eating habits, coupled with practical tips, such as a series of recipes to help people find a healthy and conscious eating style - all of which is told in a way that is adapted to the course of the year.

Unfree Speech
Author: Joshua Wong
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525507418
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
An urgent manifesto for global democracy from Joshua Wong, the 23-year-old phenomenon leading Hong Kong's protests - and Nobel Peace Prize nominee - with an introduction by Ai Weiwei With global democracy under threat, we must act together to defend out rights: now. When he was 14, Joshua Wong made history. While the adults stayed silent, Joshua staged the first-ever student protest in Hong Kong to oppose National Education -- and won. Since then, Joshua has led the Umbrella Movement, founded a political party, and rallied the international community around the anti-extradition bill protests, which have seen 2 million people -- more than a quarter of the population -- take to Hong Kong's streets. His actions have sparked worldwide attention, earned him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and landed him in jail twice. Composed in three parts, Unfree Speech chronicles Joshua's path to activism, collects the letters he wrote as a political prisoner under the Chinese state, and closes with a powerful and urgent call for all of us globally to defend our democratic values. When we stay silent, no one is safe. When we free our speech, our voice becomes one.

Rethinking the Civil War Era
Author: Paul D. Escott
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813175372
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Arguably, no event since the American Revolution has had a greater impact on US history than the Civil War. This devastating and formative conflict occupies a permanent place in the nation's psyche and continues to shape race relations, economic development, and regional politics. Naturally, an event of such significance has attracted much attention from historians, and tens of thousands of books have been published on the subject. Despite this breadth of study, new perspectives and tools are opening up fresh avenues of inquiry into this seminal era. In this timely and thoughtful book, Paul D. Escott surveys the current state of Civil War studies and explores the latest developments in research and interpretation. He focuses on specific issues where promising work is yet to be done, highlighting subjects such as the deep roots of the war, the role of African Americans, and environmental history, among others. He also identifies digital tools which have only recently become available and which allow researchers to take advantage of information in ways that were never before possible. Rethinking the Civil War Era is poised to guide young historians in much the way that James M. McPherson and William J. Cooper Jr.'s Writing the Civil War: The Quest to Understand did for a previous generation. Escott eloquently charts new ways forward for scholars, offering ideas, questions, and challenges. His work will not only illuminate emerging research but will also provide inspiration for future research in a field that continues to adapt and change.
