  This book consists of the following two titles: 
  Russian Revolution: The Russian Revolution was a period of political and social revolution that started at the time of the First World War in the previous Russian Empire. The Russian Revolution, which started in the year 1917 with the fall of your home of Romanov and ended in the year 1923 with the facility of the Soviet Union by the Bolsheviks (at the end of the Russian Civil War), was a series of 2 transformations: the first one defeated the royal federal government and the 2nd set up the Bolsheviks in power. The first revolution, which started in the month of February 1917, was focused around the then-capital of Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg). The Russian Army had mutinied after suffering heavy army losses throughout the fight. Subsequently, members of Russia's parliament (called the Duma) took control of the nation and formed the Russian Provisional Federal Government. The interests of significant business owners, and the Russian nobility and upper class, controlled this federal government. 
  American Revolution: Between 1765 to 1791, the American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution in British America. In the American Revolutionary War (between 1775 to 1783), the Americans in the Thirteen Groups established sovereign countries that beat the British, getting independence from the British Crown and establishing the USA of America, the first modern-day constitutional liberal democracy. The tax of American settlers by the British Parliament, a body in which they had no direct representation, provided contention. Before the 1760s, Britain's American groups kept a great degree of internal autonomy, which was managed by colonist legislatures on a regional level. The Stamp Act of 1765 enforced internal taxes on the groups, leading to colonist outrage and the development of the Stamp Act Congress, which united members from different provinces.

  Ten years after the start of the Malian crisis, political and security instability in the Sahel have changed in scale and nature, and spilled over across national frontiers. The border region between Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger has become the new epicentre of insecurity.
  The comeback of military actors on the political scene, and the support provided by large parts of the population to post-coup military juntas is evidence of poor governance and a severe deterioration in the legitimacy of elected authorities. In this complex scenario, the initiatives of external partners affect regional balances, making the Sahel a major theatre for power competition.
  How did the crisis evolve over the past decade? What are the main drivers behind local, regional and international dynamics? What prospects for regional stability?

  "You fool of a boy!" William's father screamed. "You had the world ahead of you, and you threw it away for some religious meeting. Why, Parliament has ordered the heads of a dozen Puritans to be stuck on poles around the city as a warning against disobeying the law. Have you thought of that? Have you thought of anything?"With the favor William's father enjoyed in Britain's royal court, all William had to do was show himself to be a faithful royalist, and wealth and privilege would be his. Instead he chose to follow his conscience--to expulsion from university, disinheritance, imprisonment, and the threat of death.In a world where freedoms were subject to the whims of rulers, William Penn worked passionately for religious tolerance. When this Quaker reformer secured a land grant in America, he laid for Pennsylvania a foundation of liberty, justice, fairness, and tolerance that would later guide the drafting of the Constitution of the United States.The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Feeding the Nine Billion: Strategies for Global Food Security is a clear, practical, and hopeful roadmap for ensuring that every person can access nutritious food in a warming, crowded, and rapidly changing world. Written in simple, bookish language and grounded in real-world experience, it moves from the scale of a single farm to global markets and institutions, showing how the pieces fit together to create resilient, fair, and nourishing food systems. It opens with the central challenge—feeding a projected nine billion people—by unpacking what food security truly means: not only producing enough calories, but guaranteeing equitable access and balanced diets that support health, dignity, and opportunity. 
  The book surveys the current landscape of hunger and malnutrition, explaining why people go hungry even when the world grows enough food. It explores how conflict, climate shocks, poverty, weak infrastructure, and inequality disrupt access to meals, and it highlights the quiet crisis of hidden hunger—micronutrient deficiencies that limit learning, productivity, and well-being. With this foundation, the narrative turns to solutions that work on the ground: sustainable agriculture practices that build living soils, conserve water, reduce waste, and weave biodiversity into the heart of farming; and innovations in crop science, breeding, and biotechnology that add resilience to heat, drought, pests, and disease while improving taste, nutrition, and storage life.

  American Doom Loop - Dispatches...

  Americans lived in a different reality in 1980: Vermont was the only state that let residents carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Twenty-four states now allow this—and numerous other gun laws have fallen by the wayside. When police were accused of wrongdoing, the default answer from society's arbiters was: "The police wouldn't lie." Editors steered clear of stories about rape and sexual violence. The word "homeless" wasn't in common use. The fabric of the middle class had not yet begun fraying. 
   
   
   
  America of the 2020s is living with cultural shapeshifting rooted in the 1980s. American Doom Loop chronicles the first part of that moving picture, then brings the story forward. 
   
   
   
  As a newspaper journalist, Dale Maharidge had a front-row seat to this decade. He was in the Philippines during the last days of Dictator Ferdinand Marcos, witnessing the US lose a critical piece of its empire dating to the Spanish–American War; he embedded with a group that was a precursor to the Oath Keepers; and he investigated police, who kept trying to get him fired. 
   
   
   
  Through it all, Maharidge gained an invaluable view of a complicated decade that offers insight into our society today.
