Sinossi

Bread Lines Grow examines the profound crisis of urban hunger in the United States during 1932, a pivotal year in the Great Depression. It analyzes the political, social, and economic factors that led to widespread food insecurity, and investigates the diverse strategies employed to combat it. The book highlights that existing social safety nets were woefully inadequate, and the scale of suffering forced a re-evaluation of the government's role in providing for its citizens, laying the groundwork for the New Deal.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the economic and social landscape of 1932, then comparing the effectiveness of various local hunger relief efforts across cities like New York and Chicago. Finally, it explores the political debates surrounding government intervention versus individual responsibility.

 
By focusing on 1932, Bread Lines Grow provides an in-depth look at the intersection of individual suffering, community responses, and governmental actions during a crucial period in American history, making it valuable for understanding the origins of American social welfare and the ongoing challenges of poverty.

    Epic of the Earth - Reading...

    Edith Hall

    The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable. 
     
     
      
    Hall provides unparalleled insight into the ancient origins of climate change and argues that the Iliad exposes the deepest contradictions behind the environmental problems we have created. Indeed, it is possible that some of the violence done to the environment throughout history has been authorized, if not exacerbated, by the celebration of the exploitation of nature in Homer's poem. Drawing compelling analogies to contemporary poetry, literature, and film, Hall demonstrates that the Iliad, as a priceless document of the mindset of early humans, can help us understand the long history of ecological degradation and inspire activism to rescue our planet from disaster.

    WW2 Heroes - Extraordinary...

    This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
    - The French Resistance: The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. 
    - The Homefront Heroes: The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. 
    - Women at War: Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. 
    - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II.
