Sinopse

 In "Challenging American Propaganda: Towards Greener Grass," retired American expatriate Emmett Brooks delivers a scathing critique of what he sees as America's decline into authoritarianism, corruption, and social dysfunction. Arguing that the United States has become a "laundromat with nuclear weapons," Brooks details why he permanently left America in 2018 for Thailand, offering his perspective on the global power structures controlling Western nations.
 
This three-part manifesto begins with Brooks' controversial analysis of American society, examining what he identifies as propaganda myths, political manipulation, and the erosion of freedom. The second section provides a cultural and historical overview of Thailand, where Brooks found his new home. He discusses Thai history, Buddhism, the monarchy, and daily life through the eyes of a Western expatriate. The final section offers practical advice for teaching English in Thailand, drawn from Brooks' own experiences in Thai classrooms.
 
Written for those considering escape from what Brooks perceives as Western decline, this unapologetically opinionated guide combines political commentary with practical expatriate advice. While some readers may find his views polarizing, others seeking alternatives to life in America will discover both philosophical justification and tactical guidance for building a new life abroad.
 
If you enjoyed "The Sovereign Individual," "Nomad Capitalist," and "Teaching English Abroad," you'll love "Challenging American Propaganda: Towards Greener Grass."

    Ready to unravel the mystery of Laurie and Adaptive Attractiveness?  He Has Brown Skin. in this episode I will be focusing to the fact that he doesn't have that in the movies, and I am going explore the possible reasons why Laurie has written to have brown skin in Little Women, and investigate whether or not this was intentional. 
    In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote that Laurie has "curly black hair, black eyes and brown skin", but Laurie has never been played by a brown-skinned actor. 
    Little Women Podcast is an ongoing series of video essays, articles and podcast episodes that examines the intersections in Louisa May Alcott´s Little Women. 
    Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast: 
    Jen 
    As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. 
    Paola 
    I love your Little Women content. Thank you for sharing all your studies and research! I read the book earlier this year for the first time and I fell in love with Jo and Fritz’s relationship. I’m so glad I binged listened to your podcast to further my love for them. It also kickstarted an obsession with LMA too, she’s such an interesting woman and moved around in so many circles.

    Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With world-famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it’s no wonder that today’s world has so many Egyptologists. 	Although the Egyptians may not have passed their civilization directly on to later peoples, the key elements that comprised Egyptian civilization–their religion, early ideas of state, and art and architecture–can be seen in other pre-modern civilizations. For instance, civilizations far separated in time and space‒such as China and Mesoamerica‒possessed key elements that were similar to those found in ancient Egypt. Indeed, since Egyptian civilization represented some fundamental human concepts, a study of pharaonic culture can be useful when trying to understand many other pre-modern cultures.  
    	The Ancient Kingdoms of Africa: The History and Legacy of the African Continent’s Most Prominent Kingdoms in Antiquity chronicles the tumultuous rise and fall of kingdoms like Egypt, Nubia, Aksum, and more.

    Have you ever wondered how to tell a brig from a barque? Or a sprat from a sardine? How salt is made and when Trinity House was founded? The answers to these and much more will be found within these pages. 
    Shortlisted for the Amberley Press Publishing Prize. Curlew Coast is the author’s second book about East Anglia’s maritime past. Using the coastal towns of Suffolk as a framework, the book explores a diversity of subjects from rope making to ship burials and from coastal erosion to the early navigators. Illustrated throughout with the author’s sketches, Curlew Coast covers the period from when the Anglo-Saxons first sailed up the East Anglian rivers, to the age of the railway when the engine began to take over from sail. 
    The author lives in Norfolk with memories of many happy hours sailing off the Suffolk coast and its rivers. A lifelong interest in traditional boats, sailing and maritime history has resulted in this unusual and engaging book.
