Sinossi

Census Impact explores the profound role of the U.S. Census in shaping American politics and resource allocation. More than a simple headcount, the census profoundly influences congressional apportionment, determining how many representatives each state sends to the House. Intriguingly, the historical context reveals that the census has always been intertwined with political debates, exemplified by the "three-fifths compromise," underscoring its deep-seated impact on political power.

 
The book progresses chronologically, tracing the census's evolution, from its origins to modern methodologies. It examines the constitutional mandate for apportionment and analyzes the allocation of billions in federal funding based on census data.

 
The book uniquely offers a data-driven analysis, revealing how demographic shifts and census accuracy directly impact communities, reflecting and reinforcing existing social inequalities while also providing a tool for addressing them.

To the Last Ukrainian: An...

Régis Le Sommier

"I'm here to put the internationals in order. I'm in charge here. Too many people showed up at the center and they had no business being there.” These are the words of an American instructor, met by Régis Le Sommier at the beginning of the war when all the media was minimizing the role of the United States in Ukraine.
Régis Le Sommier is the only war reporter to have gone to both sides of the front line with the Ukrainian and Russian armies for a year. He worked for Paris-Match for 30 years and received several awards for his journalism. Odessa, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Mariupol, Donetsk, Lugansk, Donbass and Bakhmut—are all war zones where the journalist has captured the truth of the reality on the ground. This is a raw book, a book from the level of the men, far from the hazy analyses of armchair specialists.

Airborne Combat - The Glider War...

James E Mrazek

Stories of WWII’s elite glider troops and their combat operations, including Eben Emael, Normandy, Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, and more.   Long pursued by civilian thrill seekers and dare devils, airborne gliding came of age during World War II as one of that conflict’s most dangerous combat operations. The armed forces of Axis and Allied nations developed gliders—wooden aircraft that bursts of flak could shred and a poor landing could smash—and flew them into battle at Eben Emael, Crete, Normandy, Arnhem, and Bastogne.    James E. Mrazek’s riveting account brings to life both the men who carried out these perilous missions and the gliders that proved vital to the success of airborne attacks.
