Norman stone the eastern front 1914 19175/11/2023 He is the author of The Atlantic and its Enemies, Hitler: An Introduction, Europe Transformed and World War One: A Short History. Norman Stone is one of Britain's most celebrated historians. 'Fills an enormous gap in our knowledge and understanding of the Great War' 'One of the outstanding historians of our age' 'Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship' that even after thirty years remains essential reading' it is still the best book on the eastern front' He also interprets the connection between the war and the chaos that followed, arguing that although fighting had almost ceased by the end of 1916, Russia was still in turmoil - undergoing a period of change that would inexorably lead towards revolution. In this now-classic history he dispels the myths surrounding a still relatively little-known aspect of the war, showing how inefficiency rather than economic shortage led to Russia's desperate privations and eventual retreat. Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship.

The State Must Provide by Adam Harris5/11/2023 Board of Education, and the government’s role in creating and upholding a segregated education system. Harris weaves through the legal, social, and political obstacles erected to block equitable education in the United States, studying the Black Americans who fought their way to an education, pivotal Supreme Court cases like Plessy v. In The State Must Provide, Adam Harris reckons with the history of a higher education system that has systematically excluded Black people from its benefits. While governments and private donors funnel money into majority white schools, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and other institutions that have high enrollments of Black students, are struggling to survive, with state legislatures siphoning away federal funds that are legally owed to these schools. Black students have always been an afterthought. From its inception, our higher education system was not built on equality or accessibility, but on educating-and prioritizing-white students. The definitive history of the pervasiveness of racial inequality in American higher educationAmerica’s colleges and universities have a shameful secret: they have never given Black people a fair chance to succeed.

Nie są to więc ściśle bibliografie a raczej - spisy spotkanych tytułów. Zaznaczyć muszę, że w językach angielskim, niemieckim i francuskim, wprowadziłem do tabel tylko nazwy spotkanych tytułów bez specjalnej uwagi na określone wydania książkowe czy czasopisma w których ukazywały się prace Rudyarda Kiplinga. W niekórych tabelach przy porządkowaniu nie uwzględniono rodzajników. 2 W języku angielskim ( także w niemieckim i francuskim) przy porządkowaniu wg alfabetu nazw - tytułów, zamieszanie wprowadzają rodzajniki:”The, A, An” i inne. Podobnie jest też z zagranicznymi renomowanymi bibliotekami. Żadna z polskich bibliotek tak naukowych jak i publicznych nie posiada nawet w przybliżeniu kompletu polskich wydawnictw tego autora. Dopiero przy znacznym zaawansowaniu opracowania, dotarłem do wcześniejszych opracowań bibliograficznych (podanych w źródłach opracowania) i uzupełniłem swoje dane. Od początku mej pracy nie posługiwałem się żadną bibliografią, lecz tylko danymi z katalogów bibliotek i sprzedawców książek. Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju zabawy umysłowej którą przeżywałem przy innych pracach podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie aktualnej bibliografii tego autora.ġ.

Group christie tate5/10/2023 Members interact outside of therapy, and there are no secrets between members or secrets kept from outsiders. In this unusual instance, Christie falls in with a therapist who requires a no-holds-barred interaction from his group members. Typically, group therapy and 12-step programs focus on anonymity and confidentiality. The author shares with the reader her deceit within the groups, those times when she refuses to participate, and the struggles she faces with following the group rules. Coming from a family where you don’t discuss issues, emotions are best hidden, and privacy is highly valued, how can Christie meet weekly with strangers asking her about everything from food to sex? How can telling-all help resolve her personal issues? She strives to have a career, spouse, family, and home, while she also struggles with an eating disorder and other mental health issues.Īt a suicidal moment, Christie reaches for help and finds herself in Dr. Christie is a classic overachieving lawyer, who always chooses the wrong romantic partner. As the debut author describes her journey, this memoir is at times desperate, humorous, and blunt. “ Group ” is an insider’s view of participating in group therapy for years. Review by Seana Zimmer, adult services library assistant at the Hillsborough branch “ Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life ” by Christie Tate

Mahatma gandhi said5/10/2023 These assaults on his dignity, and the knowledge of the humiliations faced by Indians, did not dishearten him but brought out the best in his personality – a strong sense of duty and an urge to serve humanity. Travelling to Pretoria soon after his arrival in Durban, he was thrown off a train, assaulted by a coachman and denied a hotel room in Johannesburg - all because of his colour. A 23-year-old barrister with an unsuccessful career in India, he had accepted aone-year assignment, with a modest salary, to assist the lawyer of an Indian merchant in Natal, hoping to find better prospects in the new land. Gandhi had arrived in South Africa in May 1893. That was the first of many imprisonments of Gandhi and the first non-violent challenge to racist rule in South Africa. Gandhi gladly went to prison to enjoy “free hospitality” at “His Majesty’s hotel”, as did 150 other resisters. The magistrate, however, sentenced him to two months simple imprisonment. He asked for the heaviest penalty – six months’ imprisonment with hard labour – for organising defiance of this “Black Act” by the Indian community. Gandhi, an attorney with a lucrative practice in Johannesburg, appeared before the magistrate’s court for defying an anti- Asiatic law and disobeying an order to leave the Transvaal within 48 hours. Mahatma Gandhi, South Africa and SatyagrahaĪ century ago, on 10 January 1908, M.

Bob woodward fear review5/10/2023 From beginning to end, Woodward treats us to a portrait of an occupant of the Oval Office who sucks the life out of his subordinates. Trump demonstrably lost the popular vote his legitimacy emanates solely from the provisions of the document he appears to hold in the same regard as the truth.įear, the latest chronicle of a president from Bob Woodward, who with Carl Bernstein did so much to bring down Richard Nixon, only reinforces this dismal picture. Yet even as Trump wages war on free speech and the first amendment, he appears to have forgotten that the only reason he holds office is the constitution itself.
