Sinopse

Aviation History explores the profound impact of flight, from kites and gliders to the modern jet age, fundamentally altering travel and warfare. It examines how aviation's evolution reshaped geopolitical landscapes and redefined the speed of global interactions. Consider that early military aviation rapidly advanced during World War I, leading to the development of aerial combat tactics and technologies.Also, the interwar period saw the rise of commercial aviation, establishing international air routes and passenger aircraft, connecting the world in unprecedented ways. This book offers a comprehensive account of aviation, beginning with the pioneering dreams of flight and progressing through its militarization, commercialization, and its role in subsequent conflicts like World War II and the Cold War. It emphasizes that aviation's development isn't just technological advancement but a critical force in global power dynamics and sociocultural exchange. By drawing on pilot logs, technical documents, and military records, the book avoids simplistic narratives, providing a nuanced view of the complex forces shaping aviation. The book’s approach provides historical, social, and technological context, charting the progression from early experiments to advanced aircraft. It explores engineering, political science, and sociology to provide a holistic understanding of aviation's multifaceted impact. This makes it valuable for those interested in military history, technology, and the social impact of aviation innovation.

    The postwar United States enjoyed large, widely distributed economic rewards—and most Americans accepted that taxes were a reasonable price to pay for living in a society of shared prosperity. Then in 1978 California enacted Proposition 13, a property tax cap that Ronald Reagan hailed as a "second American Revolution," setting off an antitax, antigovernment wave that has transformed American politics and economic policy. In The Power to Destroy, Michael Graetz tells the story of the antitax movement and how it holds America hostage—undermining the nation's ability to meet basic needs and fix critical problems. 
     
     
     
    In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that the power to tax entails "the power to destroy." But The Power to Destroy argues that tax opponents now wield this destructive power. Attacking the IRS, protecting tax loopholes, and pushing tax cuts from Reagan to Donald Trump, the antitax movement is threatening the nation's social safety net, increasing inequality, ballooning the national debt, and sapping America's financial strength. The book chronicles how the movement originated as a fringe enterprise promoted by zealous outsiders using false economic claims and thinly veiled racist rhetoric, and how—abetted by conservative media and Grover Norquist's "taxpayer protection pledge"—it evolved into a mainstream political force.

    The Homeland actress’s “recollections of her unconventional youth in war-torn Beirut are heartbreaking yet humorous . . . in this unique” memoir (Publishers Weekly).   Raised in 1970s Lebanon on Charles Baudelaire, A Clockwork Orange, and fine Bordeaux, Darina Al-Joundi was encouraged by her unconventional father to defy all taboos. She spent her adolescence defying death in Beirut nightclubs as bombs fell across the city. The more oppressive the country became, the more drugs and anonymous sex she had, fueling the resentment directed at her daily by the same men who would spend the night with her.   As the war dies down, she begins to incur the consequences of her lifestyle. On his deathbed, her father’s last wish is for his favorite song, “Sinnerman” by Nina Simone, to be played at his funeral instead of the traditional suras of the Koran. When she does just that, the final act of defiance elicits a catastrophic response from her surviving family members.   In this dramatic true story, Darina Al-Joundi is defiantly passionate about living her life as a liberated woman, even if it means leaving everyone and everything behind in this “beautifully taut and relentlessly unemotional” memoir (Kirkus).
