Beschreibung

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.

NOT Accountable - Rethinking the...

Philip K. Howard, Mitch Daniels

"Elected leaders come and go, but public unions just say no." Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. 
 
 
 
Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. 
 
 
 
The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public.

A Grotesque Animal

Amy Lee Lillard

At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
 
 
 
A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
 
 
 
Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.
