Summary

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: G. K. Chesterton, the man beyond the writer


The early twentieth-century was a time when many works, including popular essays, were written on eugenics and eugenic theory, usually to promote the ideas. However, significant anti-eugenic essays also circulated, the most famous of which is “Eugenics and Other Evils” (AKA Eugenics and Other Evils: an argument against scientifically organized state), written by English author and philosopher G. K. Chesterton and originally published in 1922, just a few years after the close of the 'Great War.'
In “Eugenics and Other Evils,” Chesterton argues that eugenic laws are a means of suppressing the poor, and predicts the abuse of eugenics. The book was influential enough that the British Parliament began to question eugenic legislation, and indeed eugenic legislation as existed in the United States was never passed in Great Britain.

Since Xi Jinping took power in 2012, China's foreign policy has significantly shifted from a defensive to an assertive approach. For decades, Beijing worked to integrate into the liberal international order, presenting itself as a peacefully rising power. By contrast, however, under Xi's leadership, the country is attempting to create a global system that is more favourable to its own interests.
The Report examines China's current foreign policy approach, and the drivers behind the country's shift away from tradition. What are the main features of China's foreign policy today? How are decisions being taken, and to what extent do interest groups continue to have a say in decision-making after the recent power centralisation?

The Unforgettable Story of the Silver State

Nevada has a story unlike any other.

Long before the bright lights of Las Vegas lit up the desert, this land held stories carved into the earth. Native American tribes lived here for centuries, surviving and thriving, in some of the harshest terrain in the West.

Then came the settlers. Some were chasing land, others chasing luck. What they found was buried treasure: copper, gold, and especially silver. So much silver that it gave Nevada its nickname and a reputation that still lingers.

But silver was only the beginning.

This book follows Nevada's journey from wide-open frontier to one of the most talked-about places in America. From mining booms and Mormon wagon trains to nuclear tests and UFO sightings, Nevada's history is full of twists, secrets, and surprises.

 Inside, you'll discover: 

- The deep roots of Nevada's Native cultures and how they shaped the land. 
- How silver and gold rushes turned this quiet territory into a state. 
- The early rise of Las Vegas and why gambling became its signature. 
- The role of Mormon settlers in shaping early communities. 
- The long shadow of Area 51 and Nevada's military testing grounds. 
- What still sets Nevada's people apart: tough, independent, and never boring. 
- And much, much more!

Mississippi rivers and creeks have shaped every aspect of the state's geology, ecology, economy, settlement, and politics. Mississippi's paddleways—its rivers, rills, creeks, and streams—are its arteries, its lifeblood, and the connective tissues that tie its stories and histories together and flood them with a sense of place and impel them along the current of time. The rivers provide structure for the telling of stories. In Paddleways of Mississippi: Rivers and People of the Magnolia State, listeners will discover flowing details of virtually every waterway in the state—the features, wildlife, vegetation, geology, hydrology, and specific challenges to be expected—alongside many wonderful historical and social accounts specific to each system. 
 
 
 
Interviews and oral histories enliven these waterways with evocative scenery, engaging anecdotes, interesting historical tales, and personal accounts of the people and communities that arose along the waterways of Mississippi. Part natural history, part narrative nonfiction, Paddleways of Mississippi will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, naturalists, campers, and historians, and is suitable for novices as well as experts. Told together, the pieces included are a social and ecological history that exposes and deepens the connection coursing between the people and the rivers.
