Sinopsis

In "Baden-Powell of Mafeking," J. S. Fletcher deftly chronicles the life and exploits of Robert Baden-Powell, the enigmatic military leader famed for his role in the Siege of Mafeking during the Second Boer War. With a narrative style that marries engaging storytelling with rigorous historical detail, Fletcher provides readers with vivid depictions of military tactics and the social dynamics of late Victorian England. Set against the backdrop of burgeoning imperialism, the book reveals not only the military strategies employed during the siege but also the cultural implications that accompanied Britain's colonial pursuits. J. S. Fletcher, a prolific British author and journalist, drew upon his deep interest in history and biography to write this insightful work. His background in journalism shaped his meticulous research methods and narrative clarity, enabling him to analyze the complexities of character and conflict within the context of national pride and military heroism. Fletcher's insightful portrayal of Baden-Powell illuminates not just a soldier's legacy, but also the foundational ethos of the Boy Scouts movement, which Baden-Powell later established. Recommended for history enthusiasts and those interested in military biography, "Baden-Powell of Mafeking" offers a nuanced examination of a pivotal figure in British history. Fletcher's compelling account invites readers to explore the intersection of war, leadership, and societal change, making it a valuable addition to any historical library.

    Girl as Birch - Poems

    Gibson’s previous book Opinel, starts and ends on the image of a workaday knife used by shepherds, peasants, and artists, using her sensitive and critical eye to explore family, culture, nature, and the world we inhabit. In Girl as Birch, Gibson turns her attention to the experience of growing up as a girl in the United States, coming of age while pushing against expectations for what a girl should be. The title poem uses the image of a birch tree to describe the pressure to bend to what others want: 
    Rebecca Kaiser Gibson is the author of Opinel (Bauhan Publishing, 2015) and two chapbooks, Admit the Peacock and Inside the Exhibition. She is the recipient of fellowships from MacDowell, The Heinrich Böll Cottage in Ireland, and the 2008 Fellowship in Poetry, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and was selected as a Fulbright Scholar to teach poetry in Hyderabad, India, in 2011. She is founder and director of The Loom, Poetry in Harrisville, a poetry reading series. Her poems have appeared in The Adroit Journal; Agni; Field; The Greensboro Review; Green Mountain Review; The Harvard Review; The Massachusetts Review; Ocean State Review; Salamander; Slate; and been featured in VerseDaily. Rebecca lives in Marlborough, New Hampshire, and taught poetry at Tufts University for twenty-three years. 
    Praise for Girl as Birch: “Rebecca Kaiser Gibson’s Girl as Birch is a wonder of lyric compression and subtle music. At times deeply personal, at times nearly mythic, these poems meditate on the complexities of memory and mortality, the fact of the female body, and the lessons of the natural world, cultivated and wild. These are beautiful poems and I’ll return to them with great pleasure.”  ––Kevin Prufer, author of The Art of Fiction

    The illicit global economy encompasses cross-border flows of goods, people, money, and information unauthorized by either the sending or receiving country. Typically, this means flows that are prohibited, regulated, stolen, or counterfeit. Some of these flows are obscure or mostly a law enforcement nuisance, but others receive enormous policy and media attention. Still others have severe environmental impacts and security implications. Collectively, these flows reflect the illicit side of the global economy.The Illicit Global Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers the key questions about how illicit global markets are structured and operate, how they intersect with state institutions and practices, how they interact with the legal economy, and how they shape and are shaped by domestic and international politics. This pithy yet authoritative primer helps listeners make sense of a crucial part of the global economy that is too often either neglected or distorted. In this regard, an underlying theme in the book is the need for a more historically informed critical perspective that challenges the many myths and misconceptions about the illicit global economy that are all-too-prevalent in contemporary media accounts, Hollywood depictions, popular books, and policy debates.
