 Taking Aim at the President: The Remarkable Story of the Woman Who Shot at Gerald Ford By Geri Spieler 2008 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0230610234 | PDF | 2 MB "I'm not sorry I tried...if successful, the assassination...just might have triggered the kind of chaos that could have started the upheaval of change." --Sara Jane Moore in 1976Journalist Geri Spieler met would-be assassin Sara Jane Moore while she was in prison; Taking Aim at the President is based on over two decades of interviews as well as independant research. Spieler follows Moore's actions from her childhood in a small West Virginia town to her release from prison in December 2007. Moore's life was never conventional, and along the way she entered and dropped out of the military, was married five times, and was both a political radical and an FBI informant. Focusing on the complex psychology and motivations of a quintessentially desperate housewife and the only woman to ever fire a bullet at an American president, Spieler delivers a nuanced portrait of an elusive person and a fascinating glimpse back at a turbulent period in American history.

Tajiki Reference Grammar for Beginners By Nasrullo Khojayori, Mikael Thompson 2009 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 1589012690 | PDF | 20 MB Tajiki Reference Grammar for Students grew out of the books Tajiki: An Elementary Textbook, vols. 1 and 2. The original manuscript also included a rather large appendix with grammar information useful to students but not necessary if your goal is to learn to communicate in Tajiki quickly. After reviewing the costs, the heft of the books, and the awkwardness of having a third volume as the appendix, we determined that this material could stand alone. The book features explanations about various features of Tajiki grammar and pronunciation alongside examples of the concepts. It is a straightforward reference grammar. Unlike the other two Tajiki volumes, the book has a black and white interior and will be a smaller trim size (6 x 9). The Tajiki Reference Grammar for Students is designed for beginning level language students and is keyed to the textbook volumes so it is a natural resource to those who are using the textbooks. It also may be useful to scholars and students of Central Asian languages and linguistics who wish to learn more about Tajiki. Tajiki seems to be grouped with Persian, often, and it may be of interest to folks who teach or study Persian.

Tagebuch 1920 (Friedenauer Presse Winterbuch) Deutsch | 15 Jan. 2026 | ISBN: 3751880259 | 288 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 692.53 KB Von Juli bis September 1920 begleitete der fünfundzwanzigjährige Isaak Babel die legendäre 1. Kavalleriedivision der Roten Armee als Korrespondent an die Südwestfront des Russisch-Polnischen Krieges. Babel begab sich freiwillig auf den Kriegerpfad, nachdem sein Mentor Maxim Gorki ihm geraten hatte, unter die Leute zu gehen, um mehr Lebenserfahrung zu sammeln. Selbst ein Anhänger der Revolution, ritt er mit den Kosaken nach Galizien und lieferte für die Zeitung Roter Kavallerist Propagandaberichte über die Kriegserfolge. Gleichzeitig führte er ein Tagebuch, in dem er sein zunehmendes Entsetzen über das wahre Gesicht des Krieges festhielt. In intimen Momentaufnahmen zeigt Babel schmutzige, misshandelte wolhynische Bauern und ausgeplünderte, verfolgte Juden; syphilitische russische Soldaten und entwürdigte Gefangene; wilde, singende Kosaken und geschundene Mädchen; abgestochene Kühe, erschossene Pferde, ausgeräucherte Bienenstöcke. Schonungslos notiert Babel, was für ihn ein doppeltes Grauen gewesen sein muss, war der Ritt in das größte jüdische Siedlungsgebiet des Ostens für ihn doch zugleich eine Heimkehr zu den Vätern - und er kam nicht mit Rettern, sondern mit Zerstörern: Wie wir die Freiheit bringen - schrecklich. Isaak Babels Tagebuch 1920 ist Zeugnis eines Krieges, der, obwohl sein Ausgang das Schicksal Europas entscheidend prägen sollte, in westlichen Geschichtsbüchern nur mehr als Fußnote behandelt wird. Heute hallt sein Echo lauter wider denn je. |
