Sinopsis

Meiji Restoration explores Japan's remarkable transformation from a feudal society to a modern global power during the Meiji period (1868-1912). This pivotal era witnessed rapid modernization across all sectors. One key aspect was the strategic dismantling of the old feudal system, which paved the way for a centralized government capable of enacting sweeping reforms. Simultaneously, Japan embraced the Industrial Revolution, adopting Western technologies to rapidly build its economic and military strength. The book examines how Japan navigated the challenges of Western influence while striving to maintain its cultural identity. It highlights the agency and strategic thinking of Japanese leaders who recognized the urgent need for modernization to avoid colonization. The narrative progresses by first establishing the political and social conditions of Tokugawa Japan, and then delves into the establishment of the Meiji government. Later chapters detail industrialization, military restructuring, and cultural shifts, culminating in Japan's emergence as a global force, thus challenging simple narratives of Western imposition.

    Since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, the area remains a toxic, forbidden wasteland. The zone has become a place for meditation at the edge of geography where you can lose yourself. As with all dangerous places, this terra incognita attracts a wild assortment of adventurers who climb over the barbed wire illegally to witness the aftermath of catastrophe in the flesh. Breaking the law here is a pilgrimage: a metamodern sacred experience that coexists with thrash. 
     
     
     
    Markiyan Kamysh, whose father worked as an on-site disaster liquidator of Chornobyl, works as a "stalker," guiding people who dare to venture into the disaster area for thrills. Kamysh tells us about thieves who hide in the abandoned buildings, the policemen who chase them, and the romantic utopists who have built families here, even as deadly toxic waste lingers in the buildings, playgrounds, and streams. 
     
     
     
    More than extraordinary guide to this alien world, Kamysh writes with a singular style that is both brash and bold, conferring an understated elegance to this dystopian reality. Stalking the Atomic City is a haunting account of what total autonomy could mean in our growingly fractured world.

    The 1987 murder of Lita McClinton Sullivan sent shock waves through the affluent Atlanta suburb of Buckhead, Georgia like few other crimes before it. The neighborhood, with its stately mansions and top-tier schools, was simply not the kind of place where women were gunned down in broad daylight. How many socialites had enemies so dangerous they would be murdered by a hit man pretending to deliver roses on an early winter morning? 
     
     
     
    Lita was an intelligent, accomplished, and stunning Black woman from a respected Atlanta family. Her interracial marriage to white millionaire Jim Sullivan was a newsworthy occurrence in 1970s Georgia. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Jim's roving eye and controlling nature put Lita on edge, leading to a divorce years later. As the legal battle raged and Jim's financial outlook grew precarious, he had a chance encounter with an ex-con who said he could "take care" of Jim's wife problem . . . 
     
     
     
    Award-winning writer Deb Miller Landau details the shocking events that followed Lita's murder in 1987, including the surprising lack of evidence, racial bias in the justice system, and the international manhunt for Lita's killer. Full of twists and turns, legal battles, and the McClinton family's unrelenting dedication to justice, Landau's investigation is the first complete account of this tragic American crime.

    To uncover your true self, you need to strip away your beauty. You need to become vulnerable. 
    I sat motionless while the clippers buzzed. My hair fell to the ground, carrying away my sense of pride. 
    He’s my rival. I shouldn’t trust him. 
    But it’s too late now. 
    Bald, sweaty, and naked, I kneel at his feet. He snaps photos. He posts them online. 
    I’m so grateful for this lesson. I’m ready to accept his exquisite gift.
