📮 The Business of Pleasure by Elwin Hofman (.ePUB) In 2022, the Belgian parliament made a landmark decision by approving the decriminalisation of sex work. This move positioned the small nation as the first country in Europe – and the second globally – to abandon the hypocrisy of tolerance. Yet this was not the first time paid sex in Belgium gained international notoriety. The bathhouses of the fifteenth-century 'frows of Flanders' were well-known throughout Europe. In the nineteenth century, Belgium faced international outrage as the alleged epicentre of white slavery. Although Belgians were then accused of forcing white women into prostitution, they were also free to include any suspect women in the prostitution registers of colonial Congo. Throughout the First and Second World Wars, both allied and German soldiers sought relief in Belgian brothels. The Business of Pleasure presents the compelling life stories of sex workers and their interactions with authorities, clients and pimps. Pushing beyond stereotypes, this history of commercial sex offers a nuanced understanding of the difficulties and opportunities associated with paid sex for women, men and trans persons past and present. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Elwin Hofman Size 10MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/9uwcOq2UfkyI https://devuploads.com/4aflgtw64de2

📮 Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen SS by Wilhelm Tieke (.ePUB) The Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS had a unique history, serving with distinction in southern Russia before being recalled to fight against Soviet forces. The Finnish Volunteer Battalion of the Waffen-SS was a formation with a very unique history. Its members volunteered and were spirited out of Finland to Germany under watchful Russian eyes. Unlike other legions from various countries, the battalion did not fight until the end of the war. In fact, upon its return home, its soldiers were immediately drafted into the Finnish army and fought against the Soviets. When Finland sued for peace, former Finnish SS-men fought against German troops as they retreated from Finland. The Battalion joined the SS-Wiking Division in January 1942 and fought in southern Russia and the Caucasus until its mission ended in April 1943. With its soldiers badly needed on the home front, it was recalled due to intense pressure from the Finnish government. The battalion served with great sacrifice and proved itself worthy of being a part of one of Germany’s elite divisions. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Wilhelm Tieke Size 25MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/E7pL36J7vPNX https://devuploads.com/tnblasu10w2t

📮 Nuclear Revolution by Jack Spencer (.ePUB) Jack Spencer tells it the way it is and needs to be to make nuclear energy an affordable choice for America. Read this thoughtful and provocative book written by one of America's great conservative thinkers." — William Martin, Former Deputy Energy Secretary; Chair, Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee Skyrocketing energy prices are placing downward pressure on economic growth throughout the world. There seems to be no relief in sight, with hundreds of millions without access to reliable energy and with global energy consumption expected to grow by 50 percent over the next 30 years. Some would impose energy rationing―or in other words, slow human progress. But with nearly 46 percent of the world's population living on less than $5.50 per day, slowing human progress is unacceptable. The only solution is more energy and lots of it. Jack Spencer, in his upcoming book, Nuclear Revolution: Powering the Next Generation, argues that nuclear energy offers real answers to power our homes and industries, clean our air and water, and maybe even take us to Mars. However, we have been getting nuclear power wrong for decades. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Jack Spencer Size 1.7MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/OLHwjrJFfMYa https://devuploads.com/cr8k8xedyz9d
