Two Americas One Destiny

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In "Two Americas, One Destiny," award-winning author and historian Dr. Jane Doe takes a deep dive into the causes and consequences of America's growing divide. She argues that the country is on the brink of a second civil war, and that only by understanding the forces that are driving us apart can we hope to avoid catastrophe.

Dr. Doe begins her book by examining the rise of political polarization in America. She shows how the two major political parties have become increasingly entrenched in their positions, and how this has made it difficult to find common ground on even the most basic issues. She also explores the role of social media in fueling polarization, and how the echo chambers that exist online are making it easier for people to retreat into their own ideological bubbles.

Dr. Doe then turns her attention to the economic factors that are contributing to America's divide. She shows how the decline of the middle class has led to a growing sense of economic insecurity, and how this insecurity has been exploited by politicians who promise to protect the interests of the "forgotten man." She also explores the impact of globalization on American jobs, and how this has contributed to the rise of economic populism.

Finally, Dr. Doe examines the cultural factors that are dividing America. She shows how the country's changing demographics are leading to a clash of values, and how this clash is playing out in everything from education to religion to the arts. She also explores the role of race in America's divide, and how the legacy of slavery and discrimination continues to haunt the country.

"Two Americas, One Destiny" is a timely and provocative book that offers a clear-eyed assessment of the challenges facing America today. Dr. Doe's insights are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces that are tearing the country apart, and who wants to help build a better future for all Americans.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of America. Dr. Doe's insights are essential for understanding the deep divisions that are tearing the country apart, and for finding a way to bridge these divides.

The Big Reveal - An Illustrated...

Sasha Velour

“Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”  
–Sasha Velour 
This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. 
Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible. 
From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.” 
From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation! 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

The Great Transition - ISPI...

Alessandro Colombo, Paolo Magri

While the pandemic has monopolised attention over the past two years, it's far from the only story, as tectonic changes continue on the world stage and the "great transition" picks up pace.
As well as the traditional dynamics of international power, torn between US-China bipolarism and the ambitions of old and new regional actors, this Report explores the other major transitions taking place. Firstly, the economic transition of a world deeper and deeper in debt and now seeing the return of state intervention. Secondly, the transition of the democracies and international law, or more precisely, their dual "crisis" in the face of contrasting models. And thirdly, the environmental and digital transitions, which will be key features of the decades to come. Intertwining inextricably with each other, these transitions will shape the major trends in regional politics and, in turn, be shaped by them. That's why Italy and Europe are facing momentous challenges, which the ISPI Report 2022 strives to outline, to equip readers with a compass for a changing world.

Jessica DuLong reveals the dramatic story of how the New York Harbor maritime community heroically delivered stranded commuters, residents, and visitors out of harm's way.

In less than nine hours, captains and crews transported nearly half a million people from Manhattan. 
 
 
 
Anchored in eyewitness accounts and written by a mariner who served at Ground Zero, Saved at the Seawall weaves together the personal stories of people rescued that day with those of the mariners who saved them.
