![]() Citizen Illegal By Josẽ Olivarez 2018 | 69 Pages | ISBN: 1608469549 | EPUB | 2 MB In this stunning debut, poet José Olivarez explores the stories, contradictions, joys, and sorrows that embody life in the spaces between Mexico and America. He paints vivid portraits of good kids, bad kids, families clinging to hope, life after the steel mills, gentrifying barrios, and everything in between. Drawing on the rich traditions of Latinx and Chicago writers like Sandra Cisneros and Gwendolyn Brooks, Olivarez creates a home out of life in the in-between. Combining wry humor with potent emotional force, Olivarez takes on complex issues of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and immigration using an everyday language that invites the reader in. Olivarez has a unique voice that makes him a poet to watch. ![]() Swami Shivom Tirth, Swami Shivon Tirth, "Churning of the Heart: Introduction to Spiritual Life, Vol. I" English | 2001 | ISBN: 1893163350, 0967630622 | 272 pages | PDF (scan) | 118.1 MB Churning of the Heart, Volume One is the first American edition of a work originally published in India 1999.

Central to this transition has been an extraordinary change in the formal intellectual conception of 'democracy.' In this book, Yijiang Ding presents a multi-dimensional picture of China at the political crossroads. Chinese Democracy looks at the significant change in the state-society relationship in contemporary China in three interrelated areas: intellectual, social, and cultural. Drawing heavily on recent Chinese scholarship, Ding shows that the emergent theory on the dualism of state and society is contemporaneous with a new cognitive and cultural appreciation of the people's independence from state authority. Is China moving toward liberal democracy? Does Western engagement with China contribute economically and politically to this shift? These are the questions at the heart of the book. Which are especially timely, given the recent reconstruction of political regimes worldwide. ![]() Major James Bingham - Chars Hotchkiss, H35, H39, and Somua S35 Profile Publications Ltd. | 1973 | ISBN: N/A | English | 24 pages | PDF | 23.42 MB AFV Weapons Profile No. 36 ![]() Stephen B.
