Описание: In the early 1970s, a strange apparition began to appear on the stages of a vibrant U.K. gig circuit in the shape of a band of West Country troubadours, rejoicing under the odd name of Stackridge. Their music presented an extraordinary mix of styles, from genres as diverse as folk, classical, progressive rock, jazz, pop and music hall.

Описание: "The detailed, nuanced, gripping account of that strange and complex journey offered in Robert Draper's To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America Into Iraq is essential reading--now, especially now . . . Draper's account is] one for the ages . . . A must-read for all who care about presidential power." --The Washington Post From the author of the New York Times bestseller Dead Certain comes the definitive, revelatory reckoning with arguably the most consequential decision in the history of American foreign policy--the decision to invade Iraq. Even now, after more than fifteen years, it is hard to see the invasion of Iraq through the cool, considered gaze of history. For too many people, the damage is still too palpable, and still unfolding. Most of the major players in that decision are still with us, and few of them are not haunted by it, in one way or another. Perhaps it's that combination, the passage of the years and the still unresolved trauma, that explains why so many protagonists opened up so fully for the first time to Robert Draper. Draper's prodigious reporting has yielded scores of consequential new revelations, from the important to the merely absurd. As a whole, the book paints a vivid and indelible picture of a decision-making process that was fatally compromised by a combination of post-9/11 fear and paranoia, rank na vet , craven groupthink, and a set of actors with id es fixes who gamed the process relentlessly. Everything was believed; nothing was true. The intelligence failure was comprehensive. Draper's fair-mindedness and deep understanding of the principal actors suffuse his account, as does a storytelling genius that is close to sorcery. There are no cheap shots here, which makes the ultimate conclusion all the more damning. In the spirit of Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August and Marc Bloch's Strange Defeat, To Start A War will stand as the definitive account of a collective process that arrived at evidence that would prove to be not just dubious but entirely false, driven by imagination rather than a quest for truth--evidence that was then used to justify a verdict that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and a flood tide of chaos in the Middle East that shows no signs of ebbing.

How We Can Harness Carbon to Help Solve the Climate Crisis
In order to rescue ourselves from climate catastrophe, we need to radically alter how humans live on Earth. We have to go from spending carbon to banking it. We have to put back the trees, wetlands, and corals. We have to regrow the soil and turn back the desert. We have to save whales, wombats, and wolves. We have to reverse the flow of greenhouse gases and send them in exactly the opposite direction: down, not up. We have to flip the carbon cycle and run it backwards. For such a revolutionary transformation we'll need civilization 2.0.
A secret unlocked by the ancients of the Amazon for its ability to transform impoverished tropical soils into terra preta--fertile black earths--points the way. The indigenous custom of converting organic materials into long lasting carbon has enjoyed a reawakening in recent decades as the quest for more sustainable farming methods has grown. Yet the benefits of this carbonized material, now called biochar, extend far beyond the soil. Pyrolyzing carbon has the power to restore a natural balance by unmining the coal and undrilling the oil and gas. Employed to its full potential, it can run the carbon cycle in reverse and remake Earth as a garden planet.
Burn looks beyond renewable biomass or carbon capture energy systems to offer a bigger and bolder vision for the next phase of human progress, moving carbon from wasted sources:
into soils and agricultural systems to rebalance the carbon, nitrogen, and related cycles; enhance nutrient density in food; rebuild topsoil; and condition urban and agricultural lands to withstand flooding and drought
to cleanse water by carbon filtration and trophic cascades within the world's rivers, oceans, and wetlands
to shift urban infrastructures such as buildings, roads, bridges, and ports, incorporating drawdown materials and components, replacing steel, concrete, polymers, and composites with biological carbon
to drive economic reorganization by incentivizing carbon drawdown
Fully developed, this approach costs nothing--to the contrary, it can save companies money or provide new revenue streams. It contains the seeds of a new, circular economy in which energy, natural resources, and human ingenuity enter a virtuous cycle of improvement. Burn offers bold new solutions to climate change that can begin right now.

First published in 1881, Lyman Draper's King's Mountain and Its Heroes is a treasured chronicle of the important American victory at King's Mountain on October 7, 1780. Draper (1815 - 1891) was a librarian and researcher who spent decades collecting rare manuscripts, memoirs, letters, and artifacts relating to the battle. Today the book remains not only one of the best accounts ever written about King's Mountain, but also an important reference for modern historians, considered in the canon of American Revolution histories.
King's Mountain and Its Heroes is far more than just a standard battlefield account. Rather, it is a history of the months and days leading up to the battle in what was then the border of the American frontier-the western Carolinas and Virginia, east Georgia and east Tennessee. By October 1780, this entire region had erupted into bloody civil war following the British conquest of South Carolina that May, with decisive consequences for the outcome of the American Revolution. And when a talented, aggressive British officer named Patrick Ferguson marched into this powder keg, challenging a colony of rugged mountaineers, the famed Overmountain Men, it was like striking a match.
Long out of print, King's Mountain and Its Heroes is presented here in an abridged version edited by Andrew Waters in clear, modern text. An inveterate researcher, Draper's all-inclusive style is rich with folkloric accounts of frontier life and culture but can be a challenge for modern readers seeking a sleeker narrative. This abridgement streamlines Draper's account, focusing on the main story of the battle, its circumstances and aftermath, and the men who played a decisive role in it.
Andrew Waters is the editor of The Battle of Cowpens: Primary & Contemporary Accounts. A resident of Spartanburg, South Carolina, he is the author of two histories of the American Revolution: The Quaker and the Gamecock: Nathanael Greene, Thomas Sumter, and the Revolutionary War for the Soul of the South and To the End of the World: Nathanael Greene, Charles Cornwallis, and the Race to the Dan. His writing also appears at The Journal of the American Revolution (allthingsliberty.com) and elsewhere on the Internet.
