Sinopse

"Most Unbreakable Records" explores the fascinating idea that some athletic achievements may never be surpassed, not due to lack of effort, but because of unique historical circumstances. The book delves into sports history to examine records across various sports, suggesting that evolving rules, technological advancements, and the rise of uniquely dominant athletes have created conditions that make certain records functionally untouchable. For example, rule changes in some sports have inadvertently made it harder to achieve certain milestones, while advancements in equipment can paradoxically make matching older records more difficult. 

 
The book approaches this topic by first establishing criteria for "unbreakability," then presenting case studies of specific records. These case studies dissect the historical context, rule changes, and individual attributes that contributed to each achievement. By blending sports history with elements of sports science and sociology, "Most Unbreakable Records" offers a nuanced perspective on athletic achievement, illustrating how social, economic, and technological factors all play a role. It challenges the conventional notion of constant progress in sports, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the unique conditions that shaped iconic moments in sports. 

 
The book progresses by first defining what makes a record seemingly unbreakable, then dissecting specific records in detail, and finally synthesizing these examples to explore broader implications for the future of sports. The analysis moves beyond simple statistics, offering a detailed, evidence-based examination of the complex factors that render certain records uniquely difficult to surpass.

Radical Politics - On the Causes...

Peter D. Thomas

The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"? Which forms of organization are most likely to deepen and extend the dynamics that led to the emergence of these movements in the first place? 
 
 
 
To investigate the goal, nature, method, and organizational forms of radical political engagement against the neoliberal consensus, Peter D. Thomas draws on the work of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist Party leader and political theorist best known for his ideas about hegemony. Offering a new reading of Gramsci, Thomas contends that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a method of doing politics rather than an end goal.

Proximity Politics - How...

Jeronimo Cortina

Republicans who live closer to the U.S.-Mexico border are less likely to support constructing a wall than those who live farther away. After a mass shooting, gun sales and permit applications skyrocket in nearby communities. Experiencing an extreme weather event like a hurricane or flood can encourage someone to attribute climate change to human activity. Why do we react so differently to faraway events and ones that take place on our doorsteps, and what does this reveal about our political landscape? 
 
Proximity Politics is an examination of the role of distance in shaping attitudes, behaviors, and understandings of the world. Jeronimo Cortina documents the crucial ways space and place influence public opinion. He demonstrates that the closer someone is to an event, social group, or policy, the likelier they are to have first-hand, specific, grounded knowledge of the subject. Conversely, distance leads to detachment, making it more likely that decontextualized or unreliable information and individual or group biases will prevail. Considering a range of case studies, Cortina unravels how spatial, emotional, temporal, social, and cultural distances affect public opinion. Bringing together quantitative and qualitative data, Proximity Politics shows that even in today's interconnected world, we are still profoundly influenced by what happens next door.

Genocide

Fintan Drury

Beginning with Donald Trump’s return to power and culminating in the White House’s bombastic claim of a historic ‘peace deal’, Drury exposes how Western governments, fully aware of Israel’s methods, deepened their political, military, and moral investment in a project of ethnic cleansing. 
 
Opening amid the surreal theatre of Trump’s Knesset address and the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit, the audibobook dissects the spectacle, the personalities, and the power relations that excluded the oppressed while rewarding the oppressor. With his standard meticulous research, Drury traces how bombardment, starvation, prison brutality, and territorial expansion were not aberrations but strategy, enabled by Western arms, finance, and diplomatic cover. 
 
He unpicks the Trump–Netanyahu alliance, the mythology of Iran, and the relentless colonisation of Gaza and the West Bank, showing how ‘peace’ was framed around Israel’s entitlements alone. Urgent, unsettling, and essential, Western Washed Genocide argues that without Western sponsorship, this catastrophe could neither have occurred nor continued – and that accountability can no longer be deferred.

madame markievicz the interview

William T McCartney

The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time. The content therefore, while based on real events and people, is not a factual historical record but just the creation of the author. The year is 1926 and chat show host Tom Mulcahy is interviewing Countess (or Madame) Markievicz about her extraordinary life.
