Three Germanies From Partition to Unification and Beyond, Second Expanded Edition

Three Germanies From Partition to Unification and Beyond, Second Expanded Edition
Michael Gehler, "Three Germanies: From Partition to Unification and Beyond, Second Expanded Edition"
English | ISBN: 1789143357 | 2021 | 352 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Following the defeat of the Third Reich in 1945, Germany has experienced recurring turmoil and reinvention. In this ambitious book, Michael Gehler explores the political path Germany has taken since the Yalta Conference, observing the different Germanies against the background of the Cold War, European integration, and international relations. Written from an independent perspective, it provides a valuable assessment of our own times, as he shows how the three Germanies (Bonn, Pankow, and today's "Berlin Republic") sought to establish governments that could create stable states.

The U.S. City in Transition
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3662648601 | 183 Pages | PDF (True) | 22 MB
The U.S. city has been subject to constant change. In the East and Midwest, most cities were founded as trading towns on waterways. They boomed during the industrialization era and reached their population peak in the mid-20th century, when a decline in importance began due to suburbanization and deindustrialization. Traces of decay were visible everywhere, and the forecasts for the future were conceivably poor. This trend seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again for the US city. Some of the former industrial cities have succeeded in undergoing a structural transformation. However, not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. At the same time, cities in the south and west of the country have developed into new growth centers. Regardless of location and level of development, similar processes such as neoliberalisation, deregulation, privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities.

The True Story of Catch 22 The Real Men and Missions of Joseph Heller's 340th Bomb Group in World War II
Patricia Chapman Meder, "The True Story of Catch 22: The Real Men and Missions of Joseph Heller's 340th Bomb Group in World War II"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1612001033 | ASIN: B009H22UXW | EPUB | pages: 240 | 20.4 mb
After the publication of his bestselling novel Catch-22, Joseph Heller usually chose to deny that any of his richly drawn characters were based on his actual war mates. However, to those who served with Heller in the 340th Bomb Group the novel's characters were indeed recognizable-the hard-drinking, vengeful, and disillusioned Chief White Half Oat, young, sliced-in-half Kid Sampson, shrieking, frenzied Hungry Joe, Colonel Cathcart, General Dreedle, Yossarian and that capitalist supreme, Milo Minderbinder.

The Trials of Margaret Clitherow Persecution, Martyrdom and the Politics of Sanctity in Elizabethan England Ed 2

The Trials of Margaret Clitherow Persecution, Martyrdom and the Politics of Sanctity in Elizabethan England Ed 2
Peter Lake, "The Trials of Margaret Clitherow: Persecution, Martyrdom and the Politics of Sanctity in Elizabethan England Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 1350049271 | 2019 | 288 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Thoroughly updated with newly discovered archival material, this second edition of The Trials of Margaret Clitherow demonstrates that the complicated and controversial life story of Margaret Clitherow is not as unique as it was once thought. In fact, Peter Lake and Michael Questier argue that her case was comparable to those of other separatist females who were in trouble with the law at the same time, in particular Anne Foster, also of York. In doing so, they shed new light on the fascinating stories of these unruly women whose fates have been excluded from Catholic and women narratives of the period.
