Beschreibung

Russian Space explores the compelling history of Russia's, and previously the Soviet Union's, contributions to space exploration. From the pioneering launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, to Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human in space, the book examines the interwoven aspects of scientific breakthroughs, political ambitions, and human determination that propelled the Russian space program forward. The narrative challenges Western-centric views by highlighting the unique technological and scientific contributions from a different cultural and political perspective. The book also dives into the intense Cold War space race, detailing how competition with the United States influenced technological development and the inherent risks involved. Furthermore, it analyzes the program's resilience following the Soviet Union's collapse, emphasizing its adaptation, financial challenges, and crucial international collaborations, especially with the International Space Station. Presenting information chronologically, the book begins with the theoretical groundwork laid by Russian scientists, then delves into Soviet advancements, Cold War competition, and modern-day collaborations, using declassified documents, technical reports, and firsthand accounts to provide a balanced and nuanced perspective.

Queer City - Gay London from the...

Peter Ackroyd

In Queer City, the acclaimed Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way—through the complete history and experiences of its gay and lesbian population. In Roman Londinium, the city was dotted with lupanaria (“wolf dens” or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels), and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks, and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure. Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music, and the horror of AIDS. Ackroyd reveals the hidden story of London, with its diversity, thrills, and energy, as well as its terrors, dangers, and risks, and in doing so, explains the origins of all English-speaking gay culture.

WINNER High Plains Book Award 
FINALIST for the Writers’ Trust Balsillie Prize for Public Policy 
FINALIST for the Indigenous Voices Award 
Longlisted for the First Nation Communities READ 
A bold, provocative collection of essays exploring the historical and contemporary Indigenous experience in Canada. 
With authority and insight, Truth Telling examines a wide range of Indigenous issues framed by Michelle Good’s personal experience and knowledge. 
From racism, broken treaties, and cultural pillaging, to the value of Indigenous lives and the importance of Indigenous literature, this collection reveals facts about Indigenous life in Canada that are both devastating and enlightening. Truth Telling also demonstrates the myths underlying Canadian history and the human cost of colonialism, showing how it continues to underpin modern social institutions in Canada. 
Passionate and uncompromising, Michelle Good affirms that meaningful and substantive reconciliation hinges on recognition of Indigenous self-determination, the return of lands, and a just redistribution of the wealth that has been taken from those lands without regard for Indigenous peoples. 
Truth Telling is essential reading for those looking to acknowledge the past and understand the way forward.

The Colony - Faith and Blood in...

Sally Denton

On the morning of November 4, 2019, a caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities—fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. 
 
 
 
In The Colony, Sally Denton delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. Their homestead—Colonia LeBaron—is a portal into the past, a place that offers a glimpse of life within a polygamous community on an arid and dangerous frontier in the mid-1800s, though with smartphones and machine guns. Rooting her narrative in written sources as well as interviews with anonymous women from LeBaron itself, Denton unfolds an epic, disturbing tale that spans the first polygamist emigrations to Mexico through the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s and up to the family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult, whose now-imprisoned leader, Keith Raniere, may have based his practices on the society he witnessed in Colonia LeBaron.
