 The Black President: Hope and Fury in the Age of Obama by Claude A. Clegg III English | October 12, 2021 | ISBN: 1421441888 | 575 pages | PDF (Converted) | 11 Mb In The Black President, the first interpretative, comprehensive history of Barack Obama's presidency in its entirety, Claude A. Clegg III situates the former president in his dynamic, inspirational, yet contentious political context. He captures the America that made Obama's White House years possible, while insightfully rendering the America that resolutely resisted the idea of a Black chief executive, thus making conceivable the ascent of the most unlikely of his successors.
 The Bed Language that Drive Him Crazy: "Touch Me, Tempt Me, Tease Me: The Ultimate Guide to Driving Him Wild" by Benita Gorge English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BRCTT7XT | 68 pages | EPUB | 0.19 Mb Create your Own Prison for your MAN by Driving Him CRAZY  Frans De Waal, "The Ape And The Sushi Master Reflections Of A Primatologist" English | 2008 | pages: 448 | ISBN: 0465041752 | EPUB | 4,0 mb What if apes had their own culture rather than one their human observers imposed on them? What if they reacted to situations with behavior learned through observation of their elders (culture) rather than with pure genetically coded instinct (nature)? Contemplating such a possibility is bound to shake centuries-old cultural convictions. In answering these questions, The Ape and the Sushi Master, by the eminent primatologist Frans de Waal, corrects our arrogant assumption that humans are the only form of intelligent life to have made the leap from the natural to the cultural domain. The book's title derives from an analogy de Waal draws between the way behavior is transmitted in ape society and the way sushi-making skills are passed down from sushi master to apprentice. Like the apprentice, young apes watch their group mates at close range, absorbing the methods and lessons of each of their elders' actions. Responses long thought to be instinctive are actually learned behavior, de Waal argues, and constitute ape culture. A delightful, partly autobiographical mix of anecdotes, rigorous research, and fascinating speculation, The Ape and the Sushi Master challenges our most basic assumptions about who we are and how we differ from other animals. Apes are holding a new mirror up to us in which they are not human caricatures but members of our extended family with their own resourcefulness and dignity. For over a century, UFO spotters have told us that we are not alone. In The Ape and the Sushi Master, Frans de Waal makes the equally startling claim that, biologically speaking, we never were.  The Americanization of the Apocalypse by Akenson, Donald Harman; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0197599796 | 521 pages | True PDF EPUB | 59.95 MB  , "Text + Field: Innovations in Rhetorical Method" English | ISBN: 0271072105 | 2016 | 240 pages | PDF | 15 MB Rhetorical critics have long had a troubled relationship with method, viewing it as at times opening up provocative avenues of inquiry, and at other times as closing off paths toward meaningful engagement with texts. Text + Field shifts scholarly attention from this conflicted history, looking instead to the growing number of scholars who are supplementing text-based scholarship by venturing out into the field, where rhetoric is produced, enacted, and consumed.
 Kenneth P. Miller, "Texas vs. California: A History of Their Struggle for the Future of America: A History of Their Struggle for the Future " English | ISBN: 0190077379 | 2020 | 384 pages | EPUB | 8 MB Texas and California are the leaders of Red and Blue America. As the nation has polarized, its most populous and economically powerful states have taken charge of the opposing camps. These states now advance sharply contrasting political and policy agendas and view themselves as competitors for control of the nation's future. Kenneth P. Miller provides a detailed account of the rivalry's emergence, present state, and possible future. First, he explores why, despite their many similarities, the two states have become so deeply divided. As he shows, they experienced critical differences in their origins and in their later demographic, economic, cultural, and political development. Second, he describes how Texas and California have constructed opposing, comprehensive policy models-one conservative, the other progressive. Miller highlights the states' contrasting policies in five areas-tax, labor, energy and environment, poverty, and social issues-and also shows how Texas and  Paul Mendelson, "Texas Hold' Em: Win Online" English | ISBN: 0716021862 | 2007 | 128 pages | EPUB | 742 KB Most people playing online poker think they are winning players when they're actually losing month after month.

However, it is feminist politics rather than the technologies themselves that make the difference. TechnoFeminism fuses the visionary insights of cyberfeminism with a materialist analysis of the sexual politics of technology.

Sufism: A Theoretical Intervention in Global International Relations By Deepshikha Shahi (editor) 2020 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 1786613859 | PDF | 2 MB In an effort to attain a 'global' character, the contemporary academic discipline of International Relations (IR) increasingly seeks to surpass its Eurocentric limits, thereby opening up pathways to incorporate non-Eurocentric worldviews. Lately, many of the non-Eurocentric worldviews have emerged which either engender a 'derivative' discourse of the same Eurocentric IR theories, or construct an 'exceptionalist' discourse which is particularly applicable to the narrow experiential realities of a native time-space zone: as such, they fall short of the ambition to produce a genuinely 'non-derivative' and 'non-exceptionalist' Global IR theory. Against this backdrop, Sufism: A Theoretical Intervention in Global International Relations performs a multidisciplinary research to explore how 'Sufism' - as an established non-Western philosophy with a remarkable temporal-spatial spread across the globe - facilitates a creative intervention in the theoretical understanding of Global IR. |
