The Conflict's Roots

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

The Cold War, a period of intense rivalry and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, profoundly shaped the world from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of this pivotal period in history, exploring its origins, events, and consequences.

We delve into the factors that led to the rise of the Cold War, including the ideological divide between capitalism and communism, the aftermath of World War II, and the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as global powers. We examine the major events of the Cold War, such as the Berlin Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Space Race, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war and reshaped the global balance of power.

We also investigate the Cold War's impact on various aspects of society, including politics, economics, culture, and science. The Cold War fueled a global arms race, spurred technological advancements, and influenced everything from popular culture to the arts.

Furthermore, we explore the legacy of the Cold War and its implications for the 21st century. The end of the Cold War ushered in a new era of globalization, but it also left behind a number of challenges, including nuclear proliferation, regional conflicts, and economic inequality.

This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in international relations, history, or the contemporary world. With its comprehensive analysis and engaging narrative, it provides valuable insights into one of the most significant conflicts in modern history.

The Thinkers - The Rise of...

E.J. Fagan

Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations. Through the analyses generated by aligned think tanks, political elites on both the left and right frequently offer radically different assessments of a policy's consequences. 
 
 
 
In The Thinkers, Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. More broadly, Fagan shows that the rise of partisan think tanks tracks closely with the increase in political polarization since the 1970s. Because they are funded and staffed by strong ideologues, partisan think tanks seek to move their party's preferences to the left or right of center. When they are successful, parties take more extreme positions than if they had only drawn information from non-partisan sources, which increases polarization. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.

Jewish Food Traditions - A...

Joseph Arston

Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation.
The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity.
As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.
