Wizards - David Duke America's...

Brian Fairbanks

The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
 
 
 
Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
 
 
 
Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.

Brazil - Culture Smart! - The...

Sandra Branco

Don't just see the sights―get to know the people.

For many people, Brazil conjures up images of football, Carnaval, and fine coffee, but it's much more than beaches and bossa nova. If we had to choose one word to describe the country, it would probably be diversity. The variety of lifestyles, ethnic groups, landscapes, and climates Brazil encompasses is quite simply enormous. This guide provides you with a comprehensive introduction to everything you need to know.

Jeitinho is how Brazilians deal creatively with life's everyday complications. Literally translated as a "little way," in practice it means that where there is a will there is also usually a way, regardless of the rules and regulations that may be in place. The jeitinho is so ingrained in daily life that you can see examples everywhere; managing to get a seat when all the places are booked up, traveling with more luggage than is allowed, or successfully ordering something that isn't even on the menu.

Culture Smart! Brazil is your guide to understanding the Brazilian people, their values, and the complexities of their national identity. Familiarize yourself with their traditions, culture, and way of life and your experience in this beautiful and life-affirming country will be greatly enriched.

Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

The Duchess and the Jeweller

Virginia Woolf

"He was the richest jeweller in England; but his mind was not on his jewels."

Oliver Bacon has climbed from the gutters of London to the pinnacle of luxury. He is the most powerful jeweller in the world, yet he is haunted by a relentless hunger for something money cannot buy: acceptance into the upper echelons of the aristocracy. When the Duchess of Lambourne arrives at his shop with a desperate secret and a string of questionable pearls, a high-stakes psychological game begins—one where the currency is not just gold, but blood, reputation, and the past.

A Masterclass in Modernist Tension: Virginia Woolf uses her signature psychological insight to peel back the layers of her characters' motivations. Oliver is a man of "checks and balances," constantly weighing his humble origins against his present grandeur. The Duchess is a woman of fading glory, willing to trade her family's legacy for the sake of her gambling debts. Their encounter is a clinical study of how the "new money" of the merchant class collides with the "old status" of a crumbling nobility.

The Glittering Surface of Corruption: Through vivid imagery—from the "shining fish" of the jewels to the "rotting meat" of the Duchess's lies—Woolf explores the rot beneath the polished surface of Mayfair society. The Duchess and the Jeweller is a biting, satirical look at a world where everything is for sale, and the ultimate transaction is the soul itself. It remains one of Woolf's most accessible and provocative explorations of greed and the vanity of human wishes.
