Free Download Georgia Diary: A Chronicle of War and Political Chaos in the Post-Soviet Caucasus By Thomas Goltz 2009 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 0765617110 | PDF | 4 MB The author of the acclaimed Azerbaijan Diary and Chechnya Diary now recounts his experiences in the strife-ridden Republic of Georgia. Soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Georgia fell prey to a series of power struggles, rampant crime and corruption, secessionist wars, and the spillover of the war in neighboring Chechenya. Journalist Goltz traces these developments with the same kind of vivid, personal narrative that made his previous books so compelling. This fast-paced, first-person account is filled with fascinating details about the ongoing struggles of this little-known region of the former Soviet Union. Featuring memorable portraits of individuals in high places and low, it traces the story from 1992 through the Rose Revolution, the resignation of Eduard Shevardnadze, and the new presidency of U.S.-educated Mikhail Saakashvili.  Free Download Kamlesh Sutar, "36 Days: A Political Chronicle Of Ambition, Deception, Trust And Betrayal" English | ISBN: 9389967651 | 2023 | 242 pages | AZW3 | 565 KB A fly-on-the-wall account of the most thrilling 36 days in the history of Maharashtra politics. The battle of Kurukshetra described in the Mahabharata lasted for 18 days. In the aftermath of the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, another battle was fought-though not on any battlefield. It went on for 36 days. Neither of these battles was a spontaneous attack. Rather, the seeds of both were sown over the years, and a broken promise tipped the scales in both cases. The similarities don't end there. As you encounter the dramatis personae of the 36-day political drama-or should we say pieces of the game of chess-you may find yourself drawing parallels between them and the cast and characters of the great Indian epic. Embedded with tales of ambition, deception, trust and betrayal, 36 Days reads like a quintessential thriller. Only, it is for real...

Mutel, "A Sugar Creek Chronicle: Observing Climate Change from a Midwestern Woodland " English | ISBN: 1609383958 | 2016 | 240 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1474 KB + 2 MB In 2010, while editing a report on the effects of climate change in Iowa, ecologist Cornelia Mutel came to grips with the magnitude and urgency of the problem. She already knew the basics: greenhouse gas emissions and global average temperatures are rising on a trajectory that could, within decades, propel us beyond far-reaching, irreversible atmospheric changes; the results could devastate the environment that enables humans to thrive. The more details she learned, the more she felt compelled to address this emerging crisis. The result is this book, an artful weaving together of the science behind rising temperatures, tumultuous weather events, and a lifetime devoted to the natural world. Climate change isn't just about melting Arctic ice and starving polar bears. It's weakening the web of life in our own backyards.

Surrounded by jungle and savannah, the revolutionaries (many of them African-born) and Europeans struck and parried for an entire year. In the end, the Dutch prevailed because of one unique advantage-their ability to get soldiers and supplies from neighboring colonies and from Europe. Blood on the River is the explosive story of this little-known revolution, one that almost changed the face of the Americas.Drawing on nine hundred interrogation transcripts collected by the Dutch when the Berbice rebellion finally collapsed, and which were subsequently buried in Dutch archives, historian Marjoleine Kars reconstructs an extraordinarily rich day-by-day account of this pivotal event. Blood on the River provides a rare in-depth look at the political vision of enslaved people at the dawn of the Age of Revolution and introduces us to a set of real characters, vividly drawn against the exotic tableau of a riverine world of plantations, rainforest, and Carib allies who controlled a vast South American hinterland.An astonishing original work of history, Blood on the River will change our understanding of revolutions, slavery, and of the story of freedom in the New World. |
