Описание: Explore the Captivating History of World War 1 The First World War was one of the most devastating conflicts in our history. The death toll was like nothing experienced before, and it is estimated that over 11 million soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing, and many of those bodies have never been found. Regardless of how people remember the First World War, and whether or not they romanticize the life of a soldier on the front lines, it is important that the world never forgets this brutal and bloody conflict. The tumult and chaos that remained in the wake of the First World War had far-reaching and devastating consequences, not just for Europe and the survivors of the war, but for the entire world. The ruins of Europe provided a fertile breeding ground for fierce nationalism, which led to the rise of the Third Reich and allowed the evil of Adolf Hitler to go unchecked for far too long. In World War 1: A Captivating Guide to the First World War, Including Battle Stories from the Eastern and Western Front and How the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 Impacted the Rise of Nazi Germany, you will discover topics such as

Описание: Explore the Captivating History of the Culper Ring Spying and warfare have always gone hand-in-hand. From Julius Caesar to modern generals, we have accounts of commanders covertly gathering information about their opponents, ensuring they have the intelligence they need to conduct a war. George Washington was not late to realize he needed a spy ring to defeat the British in the American Revolution. So the Culper Ring was created, and their work during the American Revolutionary War was carried out in the shadows, often informally, and with a great deal of care for secrecy. Anyone caught spying was liable to be hanged by the British. Based in New York during the British occupation, the Culper Ring provided vital intelligence from behind enemy lines. Their work gave Washington an insight into the British forces and their plans. They helped to turn the war in the revolutionaries' favour. And now their story can be told once more. Some of the topics covered in this book include:
Before the Culper Ring
The Birth of the Culper Ring
Teething Troubles
Rearrangement
The Culper Ring at Work
The View from the Other Side
After Arnold
Dying Days
And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on

Описание: Explore the Rise of Adolf Hitler Was Hitler, as Ian Kershaw asked, a natural consequence of German history, or an aberration? Not that Hitler had been in hiding, waiting to attack. The Fьhrer had actually been following an aggressive and savage foreign policy for almost ten years and been named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1938. This is not a book about World War II, but about the man, Adolf Hitler, one of the faces and names that still arouse the strongest feelings-repulsion, resentment, and even fanaticism-but one who also had a childhood and a youth, a father, and a mother. It is the road to madness-beginning that day in August of 1934 when he took over absolute power and ordered allegiance and loyalty to him alone-that this book is about. Some of the topics covered in this book include:
Hitler's Origins
His Inception
The anti-Semitic capital of Europe
Munich
First World War
Hitler's Ascension
Mein Kampf
His Downfall
The remains of Adolf Hitler
And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on!

From electronic ankle monitors and predictive-policing algorithms to workplace surveillance systems, technologies originally developed for policing and prisons have rapidly expanded into nonjuridical domains, including hospitals, schools, banking, social services, shopping malls, and digital life. Rooted in the logics of racial disparity and subjugation, these purportedly unbiased technologies not only extend prison spaces into the public sphere but also deepen racial hierarchies and engender new systems for social control. The contributors to Captivating Technology examine how carceral technologies are being deployed to classify and coerce specific populations and whether these innovations can be resisted and reimagined for more liberatory ends. Moving from traditional sites of imprisonment to the arenas of everyday life being reshaped by carceral technoscience, this volume culminates in a sustained focus on justice-oriented approaches to science and technology that blends historical, speculative, and biographical methods to envision new futures made possible.
