Summary

"Symbol Use" explores the pervasive role of symbolism and motifs in literature, revealing how authors use these literary devices to construct profound thematic layers. A key insight is how seemingly simple images, like trees, can evolve in meaning across different works, reflecting cultural shifts. The book emphasizes how understanding these recurring symbolic patterns enhances literary analysis, enabling a deeper appreciation of authorial intent and cultural context.

 
The book systematically guides readers through the process of symbol interpretation, starting with core concepts and methodologies. Subsequent chapters present case studies, analyzing specific recurring symbols and their thematic implications across various literary genres within Western literary traditions. This approach allows readers to grasp the nuances of symbolic analysis and its practical applications in literary criticism and other fields.

    A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
     
     
     
    "Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
     
     
     
    "Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus

    Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms.

    Chinese Mythology - Gods...

    You've probably heard about Greek or Roman folklore, and even of Egyptian gods and goddesses, but have you heard about Chinese folklore? Let's explore this subject in quick, in this succinct book. 
    Chinese folklore is folklore from the geographical area now called China that has been given orally or documented. Several myths from different local and cultural customs are included in Chinese folklore. Much of folklore includes thrilling stories including impressive characters and beings, the use of magic powers, and normally occurs in a mythologically unique area or time. 
    Chinese folklore, like a lot of other folklores, was once thought to be, at the very least in part, a historic record. Chinese folklore, like Chinese folklore, is an important element of Chinese folk faith. Many legends about historic individuals and events have 2 customs: ones that present a more historicized or euhemerized variation and ones that present a more mythological variation. 
    Many myths focus on the whole universe's creation and cosmology, and also its divine beings and people. Production stories, the genesis of things, people, and civilization are all part of folklore.

    Remaking the World examines the connections between the Cold War and decolonization, which helped define the post–World War II global order. Drawing on new scholarship, this comprehensive study provides a chronological overview from World War I to the Soviet collapse and highlights key developments in the international system as decolonization unfolded in tandem with the Cold War. Through six carefully selected case studies—India, Egypt, the Congo, Vietnam, Angola, and Iran—historian Jessica M. Chapman addresses the shifting of Soviet, American, Chinese, and Cuban policies, the centrality of modernization, the role of the United Nations, the often-outsized influence of regional actors like Israel and South Africa, and seminal post–Vietnam War shifts in the international system. Each of the case studies analyzes at least one geopolitical turning point, demonstrating that the Cold War and decolonization were mutually constitutive processes in which local, national, and regional developments altered the superpower competition. 
     
     
     
    Chapman describes a picture of the complexities of international relations and the ways in which local communist and democratic movements differed from their Soviet and American counterparts, including their visions for independence and success.
