Synopsis

Cold War Ice uncovers the hidden history of military operations in the Arctic and Antarctic during the Cold War, revealing how these icy regions became strategic frontiers in the struggle between the US and the Soviet Union. The book examines the intersection of military history, world history, and environmental history, shedding light on clandestine activities, technological innovations, and the environmental impact of Cold War geopolitics in the polar regions. It highlights how the Arctic served as a critical area for early warning systems and submarine deployments, while the Antarctic, despite its demilitarized status, became a site for scientific research with potential military applications.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with early polar explorations and scientific expeditions before delving into specific Cold War projects, such as the US Army's secret Camp Century in Greenland and Operation Highjump in Antarctica. It reveals how the unique challenges of operating in extreme cold spurred innovation in cold-weather engineering and communications technology.

 
Ultimately, Cold War Ice argues that the polar regions played a far more significant role in shaping Cold War strategies and technological developments than previously understood, leaving a lasting legacy on both international relations and the fragile polar ecosystems.

The Word of Dog - What Our...

Mark Rowlands

A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
 
 
 
If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
 
 
 
In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

The Twisted History of the GOP

Mike Luckovich

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.
