  Guardians of the Peace

  Guardians of the Peace is a political history of the Irish police force, An Garda Síochana, from its foundation at the birth of the Irish State, through the Irish Civil War, the threat of the fascist 'Blueshirts', the continuing campaign of the IRA, de Valera's entry into the Dáil in 1932 and the creation, effectively of his own police force – 'The Broy Harriers' – through World War 2.
  As the author outlines in his insightful introduction, the story told in this book is part of a longer and wider narrative. But it is a story which still has relevance as Ireland moves, hopefully, to a new era of peace and stability. It is above all a chronicle of the idealism and the imperfections of ordinary men presented by history with the discharging of a rather extraordinary task.
  As the force approaches one hundred years since its founding, it is hoped that this history will evoke the ideals and the founding principles adopted in 1922 and perhaps help to re-interpret and re-apply them in a 21st Century context.

  Agrarian Crossings - Reformers...

  In the 1930s and 1940s, rural reformers in the United States and Mexico waged unprecedented campaigns to remake their countrysides in the name of agrarian justice and agricultural productivity. Agrarian Crossings tells the story of how these campaigns were conducted in dialogue with one another as reformers in each nation came to exchange models, plans, and strategies with their equivalents across the border.Dismantling the artificial boundaries that can divide American and Latin American history, Tore Olsson shows how the agrarian histories of both regions share far more than we realize. He traces the connections between the US South and the plantation zones of Mexico, places that suffered parallel problems of environmental decline, rural poverty, and gross inequities in land tenure. Bringing this tumultuous era vividly to life, he describes how Roosevelt’s New Deal drew on Mexican revolutionary agrarianism to shape its program for the rural South. Olsson also looks at how the US South served as the domestic laboratory for the Rockefeller Foundation’s “green revolution” in Mexico—which would become the most important Third World development campaign of the twentieth century—and how the Mexican government attempted to replicate the hydraulic development of the Tennessee Valley Authority after World War II.Rather than a comparative history, Agrarian Crossings is an innovative history of comparisons and the ways they affected policy, moved people, and reshaped the landscape.

  To Be You or Not to Be You—What a Silly Question 
  From the day we are born, our culture embeds in us a system for navigating life. Know 
  challenges these societal rules and expectations, illuminating how The Model, or control, 
  traps us in a seemingly unbreakable cycle and leaves us living for a false sense of security. 
  Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, author Amy Cerny Vasterling reveals how our social hierarchy stunts personal growth, suppresses us into conformity, and disallows all people thrive. 
  Know explores how we became disconnected from ourselves, resulting in anxiety, 
  limitations, and more—while reclaiming our personal knowing leads us to freedom. Learn 
  how to break free from the tenets holding you stuck so you can trust yourself and navigate 
  life with clarity and confidence. 
  By returning to our personal knowing, we quietly collapse narcissism and become 
  an example by which others can grow naturally. Know offers a path to who we truly are and 
  shows how, when we attend to this work, our shared result is natural equality. The journey 
  begins within and ends as we bring our self to life. 
  Amy Cerny Vasterling is a future-focused public speaker, teacher, and intuitive sharing the importance of returning to your personal knowing. Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, she exposes what it takes to collapse narcissism, resulting in natural equality. Now she empowers individuals and communities to dynamically return to the truth of who they are so they can fully live life.

  Ottoman Empire - History of...

  The Ottoman Empire was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about. The people who lived in what is now Turkey, and in surrounding areas, were mostly devout Muslims who were defending their beliefs and trying to expand the realm to conquer more territory. Shockingly, the empire was slowly falling apart by the time the 20th century came around the corner. 
  In the 20th century, World War I destroyed much of what was left of the empire, and the Turkish state and culture was being established shortly after that. 
  In this comprehensive guide to understanding more about historical events, you will learn more about the sultans and citizens of the Ottoman Empire, their drive, their background, and their accomplishments throughout the centuries.
