Sinossi

Arctic Whales Balance explores the intricate relationship between Chukchi whaling, indigenous rights, and Arctic conservation. It examines how centuries-old cultural traditions intersect with modern environmental law and political science, particularly in the context of the Arctic ecosystem. The book highlights the critical role of whaling in the cultural heritage of the Chukchi people, while also addressing the legal and political frameworks, such as the International Whaling Commission and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, that govern these practices.

 
One intriguing fact is how deeply embedded whaling is in the Chukchi's spiritual connection to their environment, providing not just sustenance but also cultural identity.

 
The book uniquely advocates for a balanced approach, integrating indigenous knowledge with scientific data for effective co-management. It argues that this collaborative method is essential for sustaining both the Chukchi's whaling traditions and preserving healthy whale populations. The approach involves ethnographic studies, legal analyses, and scientific data to present a comprehensive view.

 
Beginning with the historical context and moving through legal frameworks and scientific research, the book culminates in strategies for future management, underlining the importance of local ecological knowledge. This offers a fresh perspective on resolving conflicts between conservation and cultural preservation.

The Democratic Marketplace - How...

Elisa Herzog

Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
 
 
 
The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
 
 
 
These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

Understanding Deleuze

Philippe Mengue

The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.

The Eagle in the Mirror

Jesse Fink

The longest serving spy for the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), Charles Howard "Dick" Ellis came to New York at the beginning of World War II as deputy to William Stephenson at British Security Coordination (BSC) and helped set up for William Donovan the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), what would eventually evolve into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). 
 
 
 
Ellis allegedly received prior warning of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and, through the conduit of Stephenson, relayed that warning to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. After World War II, Ellis was awarded the Legion of Merit by President Harry S. Truman. 
 
 
 
But in the 1980s espionage writer Chapman Pincher and retired Security Service (MI5) intelligence officer Peter Wright posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a "triple agent" for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. 
 
 
 
In 1965, while under interrogation in London, Ellis had allegedly made a confession that he had supplied information to the Nazis prior to the war. However, Pincher's and Wright's accusations against Ellis have never been comprehensively proven. Was Ellis guilty or was an innocent man framed? Did he take the fall for someone else?

Luftwaffe Aces - German Combat...

Franz Kurowski

Combat biographies of seven ace pilots flying for the Nazi German air force during World War II, featuring in-the-cockpit accounts of aerial dogfights. Whether providing support for the blitzkrieg in Poland and France, bombing British cities and industrial centers, or attacking Allied fighters and bombers in the light of day and dark of night, the Luftwaffe revolutionized aerial warfare and experienced some of World War II’s most harrowing combat. For the pilots who carried out these missions, every flight meant possible death and certain danger. Franz Kurowski puts readers in the cockpit with seven of these men—three day-fighter, on night-fighter, one close-support, and two bomber pilots—who were among the most successful ever to take to the skies.
