Sinopsis

Bikini Atoll explores the transformation of a Pacific paradise into a symbol of nuclear devastation. Focusing on the period following World War II, the book examines the history of nuclear testing, its far-reaching environmental impact, and the displacement of the indigenous Bikinian people. The narrative reveals the complex interplay of Cold War politics, environmental destruction, and human rights violations that continue to resonate today. One striking fact is how Operation Crossroads in 1946 marked the beginning of the atoll's transformation, initiating a series of events that would forever alter its ecosystem and the lives of its inhabitants.

 
The book uniquely combines scientific analysis with personal narratives, giving voice to the often-overlooked experiences of the Bikinian people. Through declassified documents, scientific reports, and oral histories, Bikini Atoll progresses across three main sections. It begins by providing a detailed historical context, then delves into the science of nuclear testing and its environmental consequences, and concludes by exploring the human dimension of this tragedy, offering insight into the Bikinians' ongoing pursuit of justice and self-determination and how their indigenous rights were impacted.

    In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

    A vivid and accessible new translation of essential selections from Boethius's Consolation of PhilosophyWhat do you do when your life has fallen apart? Fifteen hundred years ago, a Roman nobleman named Boethius asked this question as he was sitting in a prison cell waiting to die, accused—probably unjustly—of treason. Boethius had been a rich and powerful man with all a person could want in life, but now he had lost everything. Shaken, he wondered how such terrible misfortune could have happened to him and why life was so unfair. When Philosophy herself appears in his cell and confronts Boethius, the conversation that follows between the two on the nature of evil and why humans suffer is as powerful and inspiring today as it was to its first readers. In How to Cope, Philip Freeman presents a lively modern translation of essential selections from Boethius's classic.This translation vividly captures Boethius's journey from bitterness and anger to reconciliation and peace, showing how ancient philosophy, especially Stoicism, can help listeners deal with adversity in their own lives. The book reveals the qualities that have made The Consolation of Philosophy one of the most popular and influential works of classical and world literature, and an inspiration to countless writers, including Thomas Aquinas, Dante, and Chaucer.
