Описание:

After seizing power in 1917, the Bolshevik regime faced the daunting task of educating and bringing culture to the vast and often illiterate mass of Soviet soldiers, workers, and peasants. As part of this campaign, civilian educators and political instructors in the military developed didactic theatrical fictions performed in workers' and soldiers' clubs in the years from 1919 to 1933. The subjects addressed included politics, religion, agronomy, health, sexuality, and literature. The trials were designed to permit staging by amateurs at low cost, thus engaging the citizenry in their own remaking. In reconstructing the history of the so-called agitation trials and placing them in a rich social context, Elizabeth A. Wood makes a major contribution to rethinking the first decade of Soviet history. Her book traces the arc by which a regime's campaign to educate the masses by entertaining and disciplining them culminated in a policy of brute shaming.Over the course of the 1920s, the nature of the trials changed, and this process is one of the main themes of the later chapters of Wood's book. Rather than humanizing difficult issues, the trials increasingly made their subjects (alcoholics, boys who smoked, truants) into objects of shame and dismissal. By the end of the decade and the early 1930s, the trials had become weapons for enforcing social and political conformity. Their texts were still fictional—indeed, fantastical—but the actors and the verdicts were now all too real.

'Most kids are made with a bit of their mum

And a bit of their dad, safe and snug in her tum.

But some special kids they need someone else too.

Someone to help them, more than just two.'

This is the story of two families who had never met, and a baby yet to be born. Out of struggle and sorrow came a gift of compassion and love and a new life for a little girl, and her delighted family. Surrogacy is the rarest of gifts. Children born in this miraculous way can hear the story of how they came into the world with this special book written by the mother of a surrogate child, and illustrated by her young cousin.

Описание:

A terrorist plot using the obesity epidemic as a weapon of mass destruction to kill Americans.

The terrorists use America's passion for food--and oblivion to the dangers of fat--to unleash an enemy within. They're on a quest to dominate the United States and the world.

Joining forces to stop this evil plot are a journalist known as G.I. Jane, a hunky Special Ops soldier, and a radical surgeon, Dr. Michael Wise.

Set just a few years into the future when obesity and diabetes are so prevalent that people can get dialysis on buses or at vacation resorts. An anti-healthy-eating backlash has created popular restaurants that feature an entire menu of chocolate, ice cream, and other indulgences. This backlash has also spawned an obesogenic culture of eating that includes massive portions, mega fried food fests, and a general disdain for healthy food.

Meanwhile, Dr. Wise is on a mission to stop America's self-inflicted, slow death by obesity. He's asking Congress to pass his aggressive American Obesity Eradication Act, which includes appointing an Obesity Czar and imposing strict regulations such as a junk food tax, bans on fast food advertising to children, and required weigh-ins and nutrition education. Billionaire business leaders oppose it, and the Act is defeated.

That propels Dr. Wise to lead a guerilla war on obesity. Headquartered in a Detroit warehouse that utilizes the salt mines and military-grade technology to evade detection, the underground LifeQuest Movement is supported by tech billionaires, the mafia, West Coast Yogis for Peace, a rural Kentucky group, and the Food Fight Posse from inner-city Detroit.

Meanwhile, the terrorists have infiltrated the highest levels of government and obtained FDA approval of a "flavor enhancer" marketed as a fat blocker, but the drug was actually created in the terrorists laboratories. It's called OC-8, or Obesity Catalyst times Infinity, and it actually accelerates diabetes and causes cardiac arrest.

Journalist Jeri Brewster, whose father is an Army General and whose mother is a health-advocating author, joins forces with the Special Ops soldier, Calvin "Bullet" Alvarez, in a race against time to tell the President that this evil plot involving deadly bioterrorism is killing Americans.

But the terrorists have infiltrated the highest levels of government and the food industry. As a result, the President's chief advisor--along with many government and business leaders--are colluding with the terrorists. In fact, the terrorists have groomed the lead presidential candidate from birth to infiltrate America's highest office and serve as the lynchpin for their quest for global dominance.

This fast-paced story has many twists and turns that explore the insidious nature of the obesity epidemic. It goes into the hearts and homes of two families, as the parents, children, and teens grapple with their addictions to junk foods and overeating, as well as their guilt, and anguished efforts to transform their thinking, eating, and health status in relation to food.

And what if fast food companies took over public school cafeterias, offering not only a plethora of unhealthy fare for children's breakfasts and lunches, but also opening homework lounges and weekend community centers that welcome families to spend a lot of time there, and get hooked on the fattening food? Supporters love it; critics protest this infringement and monopoly on the minds and stomachs of schoolchildren.

Will the terrorists succeed?
