  Four Thousand Hooks - A True...

  Dean J. Adams

  As Four Thousand Hooks opens, an Alaskan fishing schooner is sinking. It is the summer of 1972, and the sixteen-year-old narrator is at the helm. Backtracking from the gripping prologue, Dean Adams describes how he came to be a crew member on the Grant and weaves a tale of adventure that is like a novel—with drama, conflict, and resonant portrayals of halibut fishing, his ragtag shipmates, maritime Alaska, and the ambiguities of family life. 
   
   
   
  At sea, the Grant's crew teach Dean the daily tasks of baiting thousands of longline hooks and handling the catch, and on shore they lead him through the seedy bars and guilty pleasures of Kodiak. Exhausted by twenty-hour workdays and awed by the ocean's raw power, he observes examples of human courage and vulnerability and emerges with a deeper knowledge of himself and the world. 
   
   
   
  Four Thousand Hooks is both an absorbing adventure story and a rich ethnography of a way of life and work that has sustained Northwest families for generations. This coming of age story will appeal to listeners including young adults and anyone interested in ocean adventures, commercial fishing, maritime life, and the Northwest coast.

  Germany and the World Wars: The...

  Not surprisingly, German unity in 1871 caused geopolitical ripples that reverberated for decades. Other larger European powers, such as Britain, France, and Russia, came to feel threatened by the rise of Germany. These tensions were still prevalent at the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and it became even more important in World War II. In part this was because Germany also became an economic powerhouse, fundamentally altering the global economy. Alongside the rapid expansion of the United States, trade went through a transformation that still has ramifications today. 
  Germany's defeat in World War I brought about the Weimar Republic, but Weimar has since become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the interwar years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler. This set the German nation irrevocably on the path towards World War II. That war would plunge much of the planet into an existential battle that ultimately cost an estimated 60 million lives.

  Urban Sociology - The Study of...

  Urban sociology is a dynamic field of study that explores the social, economic, and political aspects of urban spaces and how they shape individuals and communities. It draws from various theoretical foundations to understand the complexities of city life and the ways in which urban environments influence human behavior. Several foundational theories have played a pivotal role in shaping the field, each offering a distinct perspective on urban society. 
  One of the earliest and most influential theories is the Chicago School of Sociology, which emerged in the early 20th century. Scholars such as Robert Park and Ernest Burgess focused on the spatial distribution of social groups within cities, emphasizing the concept of the “ecology” of cities. They argued that cities, like natural ecosystems, are composed of different areas where social groups interact, often resulting in patterns of segregation and social conflict. This approach highlighted the dynamic relationship between individuals and their urban environment, with a particular focus on issues like migration, social disorganization, and the impact of urban growth. 
  Another key theoretical foundation is Karl Marx's analysis of urbanization. Marxism focuses on the role of capitalism in shaping urban spaces, viewing cities as sites of economic exploitation and class struggle. According to Marxist theory, the growth of cities is intrinsically linked to the development of capitalism, which creates divisions between the working class and the capitalist elite. This perspective emphasizes the role of urban spaces in perpetuating social inequalities, as the wealthy class controls resources and the working class is often marginalized or displaced.
