Free Download Gökten Huriye Dogangün, "Gender Politics in Turkey and Russia: From State Feminism to Authoritarian Rule"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1838604359 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.6 mb
Both Russia and Turkey were pioneering examples of feminism in the early 20th Century, when the Bolshevik and Republican states embraced an ideology of women's equality. Yet now these countries have drifted towards authoritarianism and the concept of gender is being invoked to reinforce tradition, nationalism and to oppose Western culture. Gökten Dogangün's book explores the relationship between the state and gender equality in Russia and Turkey, covering the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the Republican Revolution of 1923 and highlighting the very different gender climates that have emerged under the leaderships of Putin and Erdogan.

Free Download Nathan P. Sanborn, C. H. B. Quennell, "Gen. John Glover and his Marblehead Regiment in the Revolutionary War: A Paper Read Before the Marblehead Historical Society, May 14, 1903"
English | 2021 | ASIN: B093ZF8GQ4 | EPUB | pages: 52 | 1.4 mb
In Marblehead for thirty years, and more, after the Revolutionary War, the familiar forms of the veterans of that hard and long continued struggle were seen walking back and forth at the heads of the wharves, on Irving's Hill, or at the street corners, and the story they told of battles fought, of marches and of camp life was as familiar, throughout the town, to old and young, as any household words. But it was so evenly matched with the scenes of every day life, the hazards and storms at sea, of spars carried away and anchors lost and the vessel on beam-ends, of sailing to the Banks and never returning, that the two stories blended into one, and each life as a whole was a life of adventure, toil and danger; and rarely was a careful record made of passing events; so that many a story of real life, more thrilling than that of any fiction, has been forgotten and lost. When, about two years ago the Bronx Chapter of The Daughters of the American Revolution of Mount Vernon, N. Y., placed a bronze tablet on "Glover's Rock," many asked: "Where is Glover's Rock? and what does it mean?" and were surprised to learn that it marked the spot where General Glover met the enemy, more than five times his number, and fought one of the most skilful and successful battles of the war. This aroused a long cherished wish of the author to follow General Glover and his regiment through the war of the Revolution. Under that inspiration the following paper was prepared and presented to the Marblehead Historical Society, May 14, 1903.

Free Download Engle, "Gathering to Save a Nation: Lincoln and the Union's War Governors"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1469659069 | EPUB | pages: 736 | 1.4 mb
In this rich study of Union governors and their role in the Civil War, Stephen D. Engle examines how these politicians were pivotal in securing victory. In a time of limited federal authority, governors were an essential part of the machine that maintained the Union while it mobilized and sustained the war effort. Charged with the difficult task of raising soldiers from their home states, these governors had to also rally political, economic, and popular support for the conflict, at times against a backdrop of significant local opposition.

Free Download Anne Winter, "Gated Communities?: Regulating Migration in Early Modern Cities"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1409431290 | EPUB | pages: 308 | 0.5 mb
Contrary to earlier views of preindustrial Europe as an essentially sedentary society, research over the past decades has amply demonstrated that migration was a pervasive characteristic of early modern Europe. In this volume, the theme of urban migration is explored through a series of historical contexts, journeying from sixteenth-century Antwerp, Ulm, Lille and Valenciennes, through seventeenth-century Berlin, Milan and Rome, to eighteenth-century Strasbourg, Trieste, Paris and London. Each chapter demonstrates how the presence of diverse and often temporary groups of migrants was a core feature of everyday urban life, which left important marks on the demographic, economic, social, political, and cultural characteristics of individual cities. The collection focuses on the interventions by urban authorities and institutions in a wide-ranging set of domains, as they sought to stimulate, channel and control the newcomers' movements and activities within the cities and across the cities' borders. While striving for a broad geographical and chronological coverage in a comparative perspective, the volume aims to enhance our insight into the different factors that shaped urban migration policies in different European settings west of the Elbe. By laying bare the complex interactions of actors, interests, conflicts, and negotiations involved in the regulation of migration, the case studies shed light on the interrelations between burghership, guilds, relief arrangements, and police in the incorporation of newcomers and in shaping the shifting boundaries between wanted and unwanted migrants. By relating to a common analytical framework, presented in the introductory chapter, they engage in a comparative discussion that allows for the formulation of general insights and the identification of long term transformations that transcend the time and place specificities of the case studies in question. The introduction and final chapters connect insights derived from the individual case-study chapters to present wide ranging conclusions that resonate with both historical and present-day debates on migration.

Free Download Keith Mexsom, "Gas Pedal to Back-Pedal: The Second Century of Auckland Transport"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0648512932 | EPUB | pages: 789 | 1.2 mb
Gas Pedal to Back-Pedal - The Second Century of Auckland Transport - This Part Two of a planned trilogy builds on the founding and development of Auckland's transport systems from 1940 to the present - describing how the motor vehicle evolved from a novelty and a nuisance of the 1920s to an indispensable utility that virtually replaced the city's public transport services with chronic road congestion. This is a story of countless, costly transport studies and reports and why most of the advice generated was not acted upon. It is a tale of how the parochialism and fragmented vision of city leaders played into the hands of begrudging, purse-string-holding Governments of the day; of Governments all too willing to favour the laissez-faire principles of those tyre-and-tarmac entrepreneurs collectively known as the 'Road Gang' - those descendants of Auckland's 'limited circle' and other 'gentlemen of fortune' who shaped the city's early growth and who continue to dominate its future by way of land speculation and financial control. It has been a long, overcrowded road since the concept and ambition of an Auckland underground railway was first proposed by Royal Engineers in 1860. With the belated start of the 'City Rail Link', a happy ending is anticipated. This is an historical narrative describing real persons and factual events that have resulted in the Auckland of today. There are many possible readers who might be interested in aspects of:Transport - the books contain a lot of history about trams, suburban rail, buses, ferries, and of course motor vehicles, and the legislation that has governed their operation.Politics - the books contain a good deal of information about the political and funding conflicts that have existed between central government and local government; between local government entities and each other; between public and private interests. This book illustrates how these conflicts often unduly influenced the decisions that were made and resulted in today's road congestion.City Planning - the books contain information about the successes and failures of central government and city planners and include descriptions of the many disconnects between transport and land use.Suburban Rail - the City Rail Link is to be completed soon - the books provide a complete narrative of why it took so long to fund and start a project first proposed as an essential undertaking more than a century ago. The number of studies and reports that were undertaken and ignored in that time is astounding. Reference Value - this book and its predecessor, Waka Paddle to Gas Pedal, are extensively and accurately referenced and indexed. The content is a comprehensive account - too comprehensive in parts - hence their length. The range of topics covered provides interest for all readers determined to learn how the workings of central and local governments have influenced an Aucklander's present environment and circumstances - whether it be the congested roads, the toxic atmosphere, or even the housing shortage. The content of this book is supported by my 12 years of study and research.

Free Download Roy Vickery, "Garlands, Conkers and Mother-Die: British and Irish Plant-lore"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 1441101950 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 2.7 mb
Plants have had symbolic as well as practical meanings and uses since the beginning of human civilisation. This vivid account introduces readers to a rich variety of British and Irish plant folklore, drawing on Roy Vickery's own unsurpassed archives collated over forty years, and a wide range of historical and contemporary literature. Unlike other books which re-use material collected in the Victorian era, this book is based on new material collected by the author, and shows that while some of the wilder superstitions have faded we still cling to the symbolic importance of plants. Putting conkers in wardrobes keeps moths away, and parsley - the Devil's plant - only germinates if sown on Good Friday. A potato in the bed helps do away with cramp and in Cornwall crawling under a bramble bush was considered a cure for blackheads. From plants that foretold births and deaths, to herbal remedies, planting and harvesting rituals, friendship bushes and festive garlands this is a book of rich and living social history and folklore.
