Sinopsis

A critical analysis of how social and academic discourses treat disability and how they affect disabled lives.“This book breathes the poetics of disability life, a life that is consistently under threat, in a way that is complex, clear, highly accessible, and grounded in the politics of everyday life. For this reason, it may not be just that this book is highly teachable (which it is); this is a book that must be included in any disability studies, queer theory, and feminist theory curricula.” —Canadian Journal of Disability StudiesIn Feminist, Queer, Crip Alison Kafer imagines a different future for disability and disabled bodies. Challenging the ways in which ideas about the future and time have been deployed in the service of compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, Kafer rejects the idea of disability as a pre-determined limit. She juxtaposes theories, movements, and identities such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, cyborg theory, transgender politics, and disability that are typically discussed in isolation and envisions new possibilities for crip futures and feminist/queer/crip alliances. This bold book goes against the grain of normalization and promotes a political framework for a more just world.“Feminist, Queer, Crip makes significant contributions to our understanding of how disability works in the world, contributions that no other academic book in the recently emergent field of interdisciplinary disability studies has done so thoroughly.”―Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies“Ambitious, doggedly interdisciplinary, and accessibly written. It retains political sharpness while remaining determinedly optimistic about queer/crip futures.”―QED“Kafer interrogates the ableist assumptions that pervade social and academic discourses and offers a critique of how these assumptions are put into practice in ways that directly affect the lives of people with disabilities. This is an original and comprehensive work that brings together disability studies, feminist theory, and queer theory.”―Licia Carlson, Providence College

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
    I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
    This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
    This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
    This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
    Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
    You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

    Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media? If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world. 
    While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa. 
    And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK. 
    In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years. 
    If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place. 
    Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition. 
    Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen. 
    In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world. 
    It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told. 
    Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover: 
    ●	essential background information about the local people and community 
    ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded 
    ●	the initial factors that influenced the confrontation 
    ●	the company behind the Nguvu mining project 
    ●	the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles 
    If you are at all interested in the rich history and real-life stories of Africa, this book is a must-read.

    Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Channel Dash, North Africa, Sicily, Dieppe, D-Day, and the fight against the V1 menace—Group Captain Bobby Oxspring saw action in many of the most famous battles of the Second World War. 
     
     
     
    His memoir of time as a Spitfire fighter is the perfect book for fans of First Light by Geoffrey Wellum, Samurai! by Saburo Sakai, and The First and the Last by Adolf Galland. 
     
     
     
    Beginning in 66 Squadron, by the end of the Battle of Britain, he was already an ace with eight enemy aircraft destroyed: three Heinkel 111s, one Dornier 17, one Me110, and three Me109s. He then went on to become flight commander in No. 41 Squadron RAF and later took command of three more squadrons. 
     
     
     
    His memoir, Spitfire Command, is a remarkable account of life as one of The Few, charting his journey through the war, flying all marks of the Spitfire—from the Mk I to the Mk XIV—right through to when he ended operational duty just a week before the war ended. Written vividly, Oxspring provides an authentic insight into the lives of the men who fought in the air. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of bravery, good humor, and sacrifice.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Northern Italy from 10 September 1944 to 4 April 1945. 
    By the end of the first week of August 1944 members of the British Eighth Army stood on the Ponte Vecchio, bridging the Arno River in recently liberated Florence, Italy. The Eighth Army had just completed a campaign, in conjunction with the U.S. Fifth Army, that had kept Axis forces in Italy in full retreat, unable to halt the Allied drive north of Rome that had begun with Operation DIADEM the previous May. For the first time since the Italian campaign had begun, Allied leaders were optimistic that they were on the verge of pushing the Germans out of the northern Apennines and sweeping through the Po Valley beyond. After that, many hoped for a rapid advance into the Alps, the Balkans, and perhaps into Austria, before winter and the enemy could stem their advance...
