  The Falklands War (Guerra de las Malvinas) was a brief but intense conflict in the South Atlantic between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Fought over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and their territorial dependencies—South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands—the war lasted from April to June 1982. The confrontation marked a significant chapter in the longstanding dispute between the two nations over these remote territories. 
  On April 2, 1982, Argentina launched an invasion of the Falkland Islands, quickly seizing control. The following day, Argentine forces invaded South Georgia. These aggressive actions were framed by the Argentine government as a reclamation of their sovereign territory, asserting claims they had maintained since the early 19th century. However, the United Kingdom, viewing the invasion as an attack on a British Crown colony, responded decisively. On April 5, the British government dispatched a naval task force to the South Atlantic. After intense naval and air engagements, the British launched an amphibious assault on the islands. The conflict concluded 74 days later, on June 14, 1982, with Argentina’s surrender and the restoration of British control over the islands.

  Whether you call them franks, wieners, or red hots, hot dogs are as American as apple pie, but how did these little links become icons of American culture? Man Bites Dog explores the transformation of hot dogs from unassuming street fare to paradigms of regional expression, social mobility, and democracy. World-renowned hot dog scholar Bruce Kraig investigates the history, people, décor, and venues that make up hot dog culture and what it says about our country.  These humble sausages cross ethnic and regional boundaries and have provided the means for plucky entrepreneurs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors. Loaded with stunning color photos by Patty Carroll, descriptions of neighborhood venues and flashy pushcarts from New York to Los Angeles, and recipes for cooking up hot dog heaven at home, this book is the u

  Denial - How We Hide Ignore and...

  Donald Trump won the election; climate change isn't real; America is a color-blind country. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, why do so many of us refuse to admit the truth? Denial is so much a part of our lives that we deny its existence all the time. 
   
   
   
  In an easy-listening style that draws on examples from current events, politics, and pop culture, Del Rosso teases out the complexities of denial, from "not noticing" that someone has food stuck in their teeth, to companies that engage in widespread fraud, like Enron and Wells Fargo, to the much larger-scale denials of climate change or systemic racism. Del Rosso builds a fascinating typology of the forms and meanings of denial, exploring the behavior of those who refuse to acknowledge their actions, and what it means to live in a society where such lying, fraud, and corruption is commonplace. 
   
   
   
  In wide-ranging examples, Del Rosso explores the causes, strategies, and consequences of denial. When scandal hits and accusations of misconduct are made, he argues that individuals like Harvey Weinstein or Brett Kavanaugh, or organizations like the Catholic Church or Penn State, go through a series of moves to try to avoid accountability. He effectively argues that recognizing what denial looks like is the crucial first step in mitigating its effects on us and society as a whole.
