Beschreibung

James Maley, George Watters, Donald Renton and Archibald Williams were members of Machine Gun Company No. 2 of the XV International Brigade. This is the first book to focus on a small group of men from different starting-points, ended up in the same battleground at Jarama, and then in the same prisons after capture by Franco's forces.
Their remarkable story is told both in their own words and in the recollections of their sons and daughters, through a prison notebook, newspaper reports, stills cut from newsreels, interviews, anecdotes and memories, with a foreword by Daniel Gray.
Our Fathers Fought Franco is a collective biography that promises to add significantly to the understanding of the motives of those who 'went because their open eyes could see no other way'.

    The concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a small predatory class, repeated crises, the inability of politicians to influence the course of events, worsening inequalities and the end of growth are the hallmarks of today's capitalism.  Since the fall of communism, capitalism has had no competitors. Will it die one day? Not in the short term: the system is stronger than governments, its worst scoundrels enjoy widespread impunity, and while economists have little or no understanding of how it works, no clear alternative is emerging. Above all, no one seems to be seriously considering a fundamental reform of modern financial capitalism. Curiously, a century earlier, this same situation had been analyzed by Nikolai Dimitrievich Kondratieff, a famous economist and committed player in the Russian Revolution of 1917. Kondratieff was executed by Stalin in 1938 for having scientifically demonstrated the eternity of capitalism. Would he have the same opinion about capitalism today?

    Foster Children - Supporting...

    Foster children are among the most resilient yet vulnerable members of our society. Their experiences often include trauma, instability, and emotional wounds that shape their sense of self and their ability to navigate the world. Transitional homes, which provide temporary care and support between placements or as a bridge to independent living, are critical in their journey toward healing. These homes offer not just a roof over their heads, but the chance to rebuild trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging. 
    However, the needs of foster children are complex and require specialized care. These children may have faced neglect, abuse, or upheaval, and as a result, their emotional and psychological healing requires patience, empathy, and understanding. The trauma they have experienced can manifest in many ways, from attachment issues to difficulties in socializing and managing emotions. Supporting foster children in these transitional spaces means addressing these deep-rooted issues while fostering a nurturing environment where they can heal and grow. 
    This book is designed to provide guidance for those who are working with foster children in transitional homes. Whether you are a caregiver, social worker, educator, or mental health professional, you play a pivotal role in these children’s lives. It offers insights into how to create a safe, stable, and supportive environment that allows children to feel seen, heard, and valued. The key is not simply to care for these children in the traditional sense, but to understand their unique needs and meet them with compassion and dedication.

    What is it about eels? Depending on who you ask, they are a pest, a fascination, a threat, a pot of gold. Eels emerged some 200 million years ago, weathered mass extinctions and continental shifts, and were once among the world's most abundant freshwater fish. But since the 1970s, their numbers have plummeted. Because eels—as unagi—are another thing: delicious. 
     
     
     
    In Slippery Beast, journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell travels in the world of "eel people," pursuing a fascination with this mysterious creature. Despite centuries of study by thinkers from Aristotle to Leeuwenhoek to Sigmund Freud, much about eels remains unknown. Eels cannot be bred reliably in captivity and infant eels are unbelievably valuable. A pound of the tiny, translucent, bug-eyed "elvers" caught in the fresh waters of Maine can command $3,000 or more on the black market. Illegal trade in eels is an international scandal measured in billions of dollars every year. In Maine, federal investigators have risked their lives to bust poaching rings. 
     
     
     
    Ruppel Shell follows the elusive eel from Maine to the Sargasso Sea, stalking riversides, fishing holes, laboratories, restaurants, courtrooms, and America's first commercial eel "family farm." This is an enthralling, globe-spanning look at an animal that you may never come to love, but which will never fail to astonish you.

    Dreamtime, also known as "The Dreaming," is the foundational concept of Aboriginal culture and spirituality. It is a complex, multifaceted belief system that encompasses creation stories, spiritual teachings, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. Dreamtime is not confined to a particular period in history but is viewed as an ongoing reality, a state of being that transcends time and exists both in the past and in the present. For Aboriginal people, Dreamtime is both a spiritual truth and a living tradition that shapes their worldview, guiding their actions, relationships, and understanding of the natural world. 
    The significance of Dreamtime lies in its ability to explain the origins of the world, the laws governing life, and the connection between humans, animals, plants, and the land. At its core, Dreamtime is a spiritual map, describing the creation of the earth, the formation of natural features, and the roles of various creator beings. These beings, often depicted as animals, deities, or ancestral spirits, shaped the land, created life, and established the laws of existence. Through Dreamtime stories, Aboriginal people understand their place within the larger web of life, their responsibilities toward the environment, and the moral code they follow to maintain balance and harmony.
