Sinossi

Imagine the informed Thomas Friedman (of the The World is Flat), the provocative Christopher Hitchens (The Trial of Henry Kissinger) and the witty Maureen Dowd (Bush World) producing daily commentaries on international current events. And that is what Anthony Livingston Hall, author of the The iPINIONS Journal weblog, offers in this riveting review of the major events of 2005.

So, if you're tired of partisan talking points masquerading as informed debate, this book is your refuge from those screaming pundits and political hacks. This book is your opportunity to be provoked into thinking about the important events of our time from an objective and rational perspective.

Hall's refreshing world stems from his Caribbean heritage, American education and genuine compassion-all of which are reflected in his insightful articles.
Disponibile da: 11/04/2006.

    One thing that no-one tells you about being a writer is just how much business stuff you have to learn. In retrospect, it makes sense. Modern corporations provide the equivalent of patronage, allowing artists of all stripes to practice their craft with stuff that’s both limited and challenging. Inevitably, what people will pay for producing is stuff directly relevant to their interests, and so over the years I’ve produced a lot of documents over time about management, law and politics. Some were explanations and guides, some were for courses I took; all were at once fascinating and difficult to engage with properly.  
    What follows sits broadly in three categories: 
    —Simple guides on basic management and legal concepts 
    —More abstract applications and problems in management theory 
    —Some practical instances of politics in action, especially in cartoons 
    The real issue is that people are conversational, not contractual. That creates a real problem in the study of management, which is why the law (which is entirely contractual) and politics (which is entirely conversational) are included together.  
    I find it helps to understand that these things are part of a system that we’re all part of, willing or not, conscious or not. Management theories and practice, criminal justice in origin and contemporary application, and all political acts, whether large (the Truth and Reconciliation Committee) small (propaganda in Warner Brothers cartoons) or confusing (Occupy) are part of a single overarching desire to find the levers that make groups of people work.

    In The Authoritarian Moment (2021), conservative commentator Ben Shapiro sets out to expose the authoritarian Left, its many tactics to silence its conservative opposition, and how it has become so powerful in today’s social media-driven landscape. Shapiro believes that an authoritarian regime is laying siege to the foundations of American life, and it is the country’s own radical Left that leads it. Some Americans may be surprised that left-wing Democrats are responsible for creating an authoritarian regime in America, but their lust for power has driven them to carry out tactics normally identified with foreign dictatorships. Controlling the media, renormalizing American institutions, and silencing their opposition has caused extreme polarization within the country, and is leading to a dystopian future where anyone opposing the radical Left’s woke ideologies will be cast out and severely punished.

    In this provocative book, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, the most outspoken critic of the civil-rights establishment in America today, lays bare its corrupt leadership, courageously taking aim at the bigest names?Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, among others?claiming they are nothing more than scam artists profiting off the hatred and disorder they foster in the black community. Peterson insists it's time to throw off the oppression of the established black leadership and stand for the American ideals of freedom, personal responsibility, free enterprise, and moral principle.

    The KGB is one of the most well-known abbreviations of the twentieth century, and it has come to represent the shadowy and often violent activities of the Soviet Union's secret police and internal security agencies. 
      
     Indeed, it has frequently been used to refer to the Soviet state security agencies throughout its history, from the formation of the Cheka (Extraordinary Commission) in 1917 to the official demise of the KGB in 1992. The KGB has long been viewed as the West's biggest bogeyman during the second half of the twentieth century, whether it's associated with the excesses of the Russian Civil War, Stalin's purges, or even Vladimir Putin. 
      
    The KGB: The History and Legacy of the Soviet Union's Notorious Spy Agency delve into the history of one of history's most notorious agencies. You will learn about the KGB like never before, thanks to images depicting important people, places, and events.

    Should the United Kingdom remain a part of the European Union or leave the European Union?
    
    This is the question we will have to answer on 23 June, when we head to the ballot boxes to cast our votes in the in/out referendum on EU membership. It's a complicated issue. What, exactly, would the much discussed 'Brexit' mean for the UK? With varied opinions on the EU from all over the political spectrum, do you know enough to make an informed decision?
    
    This non-partisan guide features chapters on the history of Britain in Europe, the 'Remain' and 'Leave' campaigns, and the likely timelines following both a 'In' and an 'Out' vote. With maps illustrating the EU and EEA membership and clear exposition of issues key to the debate by journalist and broadcaster David Torrance, author of guides to the 2015 General Election and the Scottish Independence Referendum, this is the only guide to 2016's referendum you will need.
