Beschreibung

Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Queer: A Graphic History, illustrator Jules Scheele teams up with Dr Laura Locker in this comic-book introduction to the political history of the Land of Opportunity.

How did

a political outsider like Trump win the 2016 presidential election? Why do some

Americans feel so strongly about gun rights? Is there a role for more than two

political parties in the system?

Politics

isn't something that just occurs in the West Wing or the gleaming Capitol

building – it comes from the interaction between state and society, the

American people living their daily lives. In this unique graphic guide, we

follow modern citizens as they explore everything from the United States'

political culture, the Constitution and the balance of power, to social

movements, the role of the media, and tensions over race, immigration, and LGBT

rights.

Step

right up, and see what lies beneath the pageantry and headlines of this great

nation.

    Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
    with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
    enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
    and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
    well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
    person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
    the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
    represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
    renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
    relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
    reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
    this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.

    This book contains the following books: 
    Global Poverty: Global poverty remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, reflecting a deepening divide in the world’s wealth. Despite advances in technology, medicine, and economic systems, billions of people continue to live in conditions of extreme deprivation. This chapter introduces the complexities of global poverty, exploring its definition, scope, and implications for societies worldwide.  
    Refugees: The refugee crisis is one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges of our time. Across the globe, millions of individuals are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, persecution, and natural disasters. These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges. The sheer scale and complexity of the crisis demand urgent attention from governments, international organizations, and civil society to find sustainable solutions.

    Why are there restaurants? Why would anybody consider eating alongside perfect strangers in a loud and crowded room to be an enjoyable pastime? To find the answer, Rebecca Spang takes us back to France in the eighteenth century, when a restaurant was not a place to eat but a quasi-medicinal bouillon not unlike the bone broths of today. 
     
     
     
    This is a book about the French revolution in taste—about how Parisians invented the modern culture of food, changing the social life of the world in the process. We see how over the course of the Revolution, restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food became symbols of aristocratic greed. In the early nineteenth century, the new genre of gastronomic literature worked within the strictures of the Napoleonic state to transform restaurants yet again, this time conferring star status upon oysters and champagne.
