Synopsis

"Blackout Laws" examines the history of wartime blackout regulations, revealing their significant role in national security and their broad impact on civilian life. This book explores the intersection of military history, political science, and legal studies, highlighting how seemingly simple regulations reflect a nation's priorities during conflict. Notably, the enforcement of these laws during periods like World War II and the Cold War reveals a complex relationship between national security and civil liberties. 

 
The book begins by establishing the legal foundations of blackout regulations, then progresses to analyzing their diverse impacts on communities, considering factors such as urban versus rural settings. It assesses the effectiveness of blackouts in reducing casualties, using statistical data and case studies. 

 
Examining these historical precedents offers valuable insights into contemporary security measures and emergency preparedness protocols, making this book a unique and valuable resource for understanding wartime governance. This analysis challenges the perception of wartime legal measures as solely reactive, demonstrating their proactive function in shaping societal behavior and bolstering national defense. 

 
By bridging military history with legal studies and political science with urban studies, "Blackout Laws" provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the subject matter, also offering lessons applicable to modern emergency management and urban planning.

    'I want to provide a call to action for fellow conservatives who believe in our nation and our way of life and who share my frustration at what has been going wrong with our politics and governance. I want others to heed the warnings of what I saw happening and learn the lessons of the battle I lost.'
    Over the course of a decade as a minister, Liz Truss sought to champion limited government and individual freedom in the face of the left-wing political agenda that frames the debate in so many institutions. Ousted by the establishment but still fighting for conservatism, Truss argues here that the rise of authoritarianism and the adoption of fashionable ideas propagated by the global left give us barely a decade to preserve the economic and cultural freedoms and institutions that the West holds so dear.
    Peppered with newsworthy anecdotes from Truss's time in public life – such as her memorable last meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, her confrontations with the regimes in Moscow and Beijing, her encounters with the Trump administration and her dismay at the political class's attempt to betray Brexit – Ten Years to Save the West is an urgent and impassioned call to conservatives about the radical changes that are needed for us to save the West. Ignore her warning at your peril.

    A deep and thought-provoking examination of crisis politics and their implications for power and marginalization in the United States. 
      
    From the climate crisis to the opioid crisis to the Coronavirus crisis, the language of crisis is everywhere around us and ubiquitous in contemporary American politics and policymaking. But for every problem that political actors describe as a crisis, there are myriad other equally serious ones that are not described in this way. Why has the term crisis been associated with some problems but not others? What has crisis come to mean, and what work does it do? 
      
    In When Bad Things Happen to Privileged People, Dara Z. Strolovitch brings a critical eye to the taken-for-granted political vernacular of crisis. Using systematic analyses to trace the evolution of the use of the term crisis by both political elites and outsiders, Strolovitch unpacks the idea of “crisis” in contemporary politics and demonstrates that crisis is itself an operation of politics. She shows that racial justice activists innovated the language of crisis in an effort to transform racism from something understood as natural and intractable and to cast it instead as a policy problem that could be remedied. Dominant political actors later seized on the language of crisis to compel the use of state power, but often in ways that compounded rather than alleviated inequality and injustice. In this eye-opening and important book, Strolovitch demonstrates that understanding crisis politics is key to understanding the politics of racial, gender, and class inequalities in the early twenty-first century.

    La mística ciudad flotante de Venecia ha despertado admiración durante generaciones, y sigue siendo una de las ciudades europeas más visitadas, y con buena razón. Los turistas se sienten atraídos por la impresionante combinación de arquitectura clásica, gótica y de inspiración renacentista de los pintorescos pueblos y aldeas, los encantadores mercados al aire libre, la deliciosa cocina tradicional y, por supuesto, las famosas góndolas que se deslizan por las centelleantes aguas azules. Si bien estas góndolas, junto con las embarcaciones venecianas de larga tradición de atracadas en los puertos, son una de los vistas más características de la ciudad, sus comienzos se ubican en una parte oscurecida de la historia veneciana.  
    	Para los primeros pobladores de las islas pantanosas y poco promisorias de Venecia del siglo V AC, aquello parecía como si cualquier intento de civilización estuviera condenado al fracaso. Sin embargo, incluso con todas las posibilidades en contra, los diestros habitantes dominaron el terreno inhóspito y poco a poco configuraron una sociedad que colocaría a la pequeña y modesta ciudad en el mapa. Con el tiempo, la ciudad se convirtió en el imperio marítimo más poderoso de Europa.  
    	En un país como Italia, lleno de ciudades famosas, Génova no suele ser la primera que viene a la mente. Si Venecia, Florencia y Roma son tal vez las tres primeras, a menudo les siguen Pisa, Siena y Nápoles, por no mencionar las islas de Cerdeña y Sicilia. De hecho, Génova quedaría hacia el final de una lista mucho más larga, y podría estar más estrechamente asociada con su famoso hijo, Cristóbal Colón, quien al final navegó a España. Para los turistas ávidos, Génova podría ser el punto para quienes deseen visitar la impresionante Cinque Terre en la cercana costa de Liguria.
