Sinopse

In "Alsace-Lorraine under German Rule," Charles Downer Hazen provides a thorough examination of the multifaceted socio-political landscape of this contested region during its annexation by Imperial Germany from 1871 to 1918. Utilizing a blend of historical narrative and critical analysis, Hazen delves into the impact of German governance on the local populace, exploring themes of national identity, cultural assimilation, and resistance. The book is a vital contribution to the discourse on imperialism, informed by contemporary debates about nationalism, identity, and colonial administration, making it an essential text for understanding the complexities of the era. Charles Downer Hazen was an esteemed historian and educator, known for his meticulous research and dedication to clarity in historical writing. His scholarly background and personal insights into European history, particularly the dynamics of nationalism and colonialism, equipped him with a unique perspective on the ramifications of German rule in Alsace-Lorraine. Hazen's own experiences in the region, coupled with his deep understanding of European geopolitics, undoubtedly informed his analysis in this book. This enlightening work is recommended for historians, students of European studies, and anyone interested in the intricate relationships between nations and the effects of imperial governance. Hazen'Äôs well-crafted narrative not only sheds light on a specific historical context but also invites readers to reflect on broader themes of identity and autonomy in a rapidly changing world.

    From Pessimism to Promise -...

    When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.

    In 20 essays inspired by Hannah Arendt's analysis of crisis-ridden modernity, Wolfgang R. Heuer addresses aspects of depoliticization and the loss of politics, and thus of freedom. The wide-ranging essays are grouped in five sections: When Politics Vanishes, The Call of Responsibility, Images and Emotions, Federations, and From Plurality to Cosmos. They lead to the insight that the crises of our time require a common change of perspective towards ecological and political sustainability, the unity of »Cosmos and Republic«.

    Seamus Justin Heaney (April 13, 1939 to August 30, 2013) was an Irish poet, playwright and translator. Among his best-known works is Death of a Naturalist (1966), his first major published volume. American poet Robert Lowell described Heaney as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats." Heaney delivered his Nobel Prize in Literature acceptance speech in Stockholm on December 7, 1995--a powerful defense of poetry as "the ship and the anchor" of our spirit within an ocean of violent, divisive politics and world-sorrow.

    Cathy Yandell's The French Art of Living Well is a delightful look at French culture, from literature to cuisine to humor and more, showing how the French have captured that magic elixir known as joie de vivre. 
     
     
     
    What is joie de vivre, and why is it a fundamentally French concept? 
     
     
     
    In search of those ineffable qualities that make up the joy of living, this lively book takes listeners on a voyage to France through forays into literature, history, and culture. How does art contribute to daily life? Why is cuisine such a central part of French existence? Why are the French more physical than many other cultures? How do French attitudes toward time speak volumes about their sense of pleasure and celebration? And finally, to what extent is this zest for life exportable? These and other questions give way to a dynamic sketch of French life today. 
     
     
     
    Peppered with anecdotes and humor, this book uncovers some of the secrets of the celebrated French art of living well. Drawing from her years of living in France as a student, professor, and mother, Yandell crafts an honest and profound appraisal of French culture and how la joie de vivre can be developed in anyone's life.

    In the 1930's an entire nation was brainwashed. It was manipulated by masters of propaganda and the arcane arts. The result was the deaths of millions of people. The world was changed in just a few short years. 
     
    The men behind this massive scheme were members of the most evil and vile of political parties ever to have existed. We know them as the Nazis. 
     
    Their purpose was to bring about the rise of a so-called Aryan race. A race that would rule the world for a thousand years. This would be the third reich. 
     
    In-order to see the fulfilment of their grand scheme they needed to eradicate certain races from the globe and subjugate others. In-order to achieve this, they needed millions of people to believe and follow them and only them. And so they created a messiah, a God on Earth. His name was Adolf Hitler and he would become the master of manipulating the hearts and souls of man. 
     
    From mass hypnosis to blatant propaganda, from control of the media to eradicating the opposition. All methods were employed. 
     
    This is the story of how that incredible goal was actually brought to fruition and the methods used to control the minds of men. This is the story of Nazi Propaganda.
