📮 Janet’s World by Mike Sager (.ePUB) “Janet Cooke was a warning shot, a harbinger of all kinds of journalistic scandals to come.” —Howard Kurtz, author and media critic Janet Cooke caused one of the biggest scandals in the history of journalism when her Pulitzer Prize-winning article, about an eight-year-old heroin addict, turned out to be a fabrication. Cooke, a reporter for the Washington Post, worked under the legendary editors Ben Bradlee and Bob Woodward. Her disgrace was a jarring wake-up call for the news industry. Cooke’s transgressions rocked the foundations of public trust the press had built since the Vietnam and Watergate eras when the 4th Estate was seen as a force for objective reporting and an advocate for the public good. Immediately, Cooke became infamous, the first in a line of publicly exposed fabulists, including Stephen Glass of the New Republic and Jayson Blair of the New York Times. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Mike Sager Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/eivrmYRY26qK https://devuploads.com/i8qtcvv3nlt6

📮 Frances Oldham Kelsey, the FDA by Cheryl Krasnick Warsh (.ePUB) The woman scientist who saved Americans from thalidomide In the early 1960s, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration became one of the most celebrated women in America when she prevented a deadly sedative from entering the U.S. market. A Canadian-born pharmacologist and physician, Kelsey saved countless Americans from the devastating side effects of thalidomide, a drug routinely given to pregnant women to prevent morning sickness. As the FDA medical officer charged with reviewing Merrell Pharmaceutical's application for approval in 1960-61, Kelsey was unconvinced that there was sufficient evidence of the drug's efficacy and safety. Despite substantial pressure, she held her ground for nineteen months while the extent of the drug's worldwide damage became known-thousands of stillborn babies, as well as at least 10,000 children across 46 countries born with severe deformities such as missing limbs, arms and legs that resembled flippers, and improperly developed eyes, ears, and other organs. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Cheryl Krasnick Warsh Size 10MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/P1BtuE09QAPv https://devuploads.com/je7xwhtxondj

📮 Descartes's Fictions by Emma Gilby (.ePUB) Descartes's Fictions traces common movements in early modern philosophy and literary method. Emma Gilby reassesses the significance of Descartes's writing by bringing his philosophical output into contact with the literary treatises, exempla, and debates of his age. She argues that humanist theorizing about poetics represents a vital intellectual context for Descartes's work. She offers readings of the controversies to which this poetic theory gives rise, with particular reference to the genre of tragicomedy, questions of verisimilitude or plausibility, and the figures of Guez de Balzac and Pierre Corneille. Drawing on what Descartes says about, and to, his many contemporaries and correspondents embedded in the early modern republic of letters, this volume shows that poetics provides a repository of themes and images to which he returns repeatedly: fortune, method, error, providence, passion, and imagination, for instance. Like the poets and theorists of his age, Descartes is also drawn to the forms of attention that people may bring to his work. This interest finds expression in the mature Cartesian metaphysics of the Meditations, as well as, later, in the moral philosophy of his correspondence with Elisabeth of Bohemia or the Passions of the Soul. This volume thus bridges the gap between Cartesian criticism and late-humanist literary culture in France. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Emma Gilby Size 1.1MB Category Non-Fiction > Faith, Beliefs & Philosophy File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/2eiAg8LG2vCr https://devuploads.com/79bon5dj0w3d

📮 Ancient Divination and Experience by Lindsay G.Driediger-Murphy(.ePUB) This volume sets out to re-examine what ancient people - primarily those in ancient Greek and Roman communities, but also Mesopotamian and Chinese cultures - thought they were doing through divination, and what this can tell us about the religions and cultures in which divination was practised. The chapters, authored by a range of established experts and upcoming early-career scholars, engage with four shared questions: What kinds of gods do ancient forms of divination presuppose? What beliefs, anxieties, and hopes did divination seek to address? What were the limits of human 'control' of divination? What kinds of human-divine relationships did divination create/sustain? The volume as a whole seeks to move beyond functionalist approaches to divination in order to identify and elucidate previously understudied aspects of ancient divinatory experience and practice. Special attention is paid to the experiences of non-elites, the perception of divine presence, the ways in which divinatory techniques could surprise their users by yielding unexpected or unwanted results, the difficulties of interpretation with which divinatory experts were thought to contend, and the possibility that divination could not just ease, but also exacerbate, anxiety in practitioners and consultants. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Lindsay G.Driediger-Murphy(.Epub) Size 1.6MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type Ancient Divination and Experience by Lindsay G.Driediger-Murphy(.ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/TNnTzO3FLIrp https://devuploads.com/xjejufs5qbq5

📮 The Dispersion of Power by Samuel Ely Bagg (.ePUB) The Dispersion of Power is an urgent call to rethink centuries of conventional wisdom about what democracy is, why it matters, and how to make it better. Drawing from history, social science, psychology, and critical theory, it explains why elections do not and cannot realize the classic ideal of popular rule, and why prevailing strategies of democratic reform often make things worse. Instead, Bagg argues, we should see democracy as a way of protecting public power from capture-an alternative vision that is at once more realistic and more inspiring. Despite their many shortcomings, real-world elections do prevent the most extreme forms of tyranny, and are therefore indispensable. In dealing with the vast inequalities that remain, however, we cannot rely on standard solutions such as electoral reform, direct democracy, deliberation, and participatory governance. Instead, Bagg shows, protecting and enriching democracy requires addressing underlying inequalities of power directly. In part, this entails substantive policies attacking the advantages of wealthy elites. Even more crucially, deepening democracy requires the organization of oppositional, countervailing power among ordinary people. Neither task is easy, but historical precedents exist in both cases-and if democracy is to survive contemporary crises, leaders and citizens alike must find ways to revive and reinvent these essential democratic practices for the 21st century. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Samuel Ely Bagg Size 5MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/MmfBnQDfWC7Y https://devuploads.com/8rum1tnohpit

📮 Women of Substance in Homeric Epic by Lilah Grace Canevaro (.ePUB) Women in Greek epic are treated as objects, as commodities to be exchanged in marriage or as the spoils of warfare. However, women in Homeric epic also use objects to negotiate their own agency, subverting the male viewpoint by utilizing on their own terms the very form they themselves are thought by men to embody. Such female objects can transcend their physical limitations and be both symbolically significant and powerfully characterizing. They can be tools of recognition and identification. They can pause narrative and be used agonistically. They can send messages and be vessels for memory. Women of Substance in Homeric Epic offers a new and insightful approach to the Iliad and Odyssey, bringing together Gender Theory and the burgeoning field of New Materialisms, new to classical studies, and thereby combining an approach predicated on the idea of the woman as object with one which questions the very distinction between subject and object. This productive tension leads us to decentre the male subject and to put centre stage not only the woman as object but also the agency of women and objects. The volume comes at a turning point in the gendering of Homeric studies, with the publication of the first English translations by women of the Iliad in 2015 and the Odyssey in 2017, by Caroline Alexander and Emily Wilson respectively. It makes a significant contribution to scholarship by demonstrating that women in Homeric epic are not only objectified, but are also well-versed users of objects; this is something that Homer portrays clearly, that Odysseus understands, but that has often escaped many other men, from Odysseus' alter ego Aethon in Odyssey 19 to modern experts on Homeric epic. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Lilah Grace Canevaro Size 1.0MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Xw8wbcNEcJIb https://devuploads.com/9tyy66h5ouls

Jane becomes Mrs. Bingley, and Elizabeth still goes to Hunsford to visit Mrs. Collins, where she is met with an abysmal proposal from Mr. Darcy. Blinded by her own prejudice, she refuses him on the basis of her own dislike and his reported treatment of Mr. Wickham. After receiving a letter from Mr. Darcy, she drastically changes her mind and begins to reevaluate his character, but her change of heart comes too late—Mr. Darcy departs for good. Some events are altered due to the marriage of Jane and Mr. Bingley: The Gardiners never take Elizabeth to see Pemberley that summer—their trip to the Lake country ensues as originally planned. Lydia elopes with Mr. Wickham, but it is Mr. Bingley who takes credit for the marriage, sworn to secrecy by his best friend Mr. Darcy, so Elizabeth never ends up learning of his efforts on behalf of her happiness. Lady Catherine de Bourgh never calls on Elizabeth to berate her and demand an unreasonable promise, because without Mr. Darcy traveling to Hertfordshire again, there are no rumors to induce her ladyship to travel there. Read on to see how the following eight years pass after Mr. Darcy’s failed proposal at Hunsford—eight long years of longing, separation, and missed connections before Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth finally achieve their happily ever after.

Jane and Lizzy are still very young—nineteen and seventeen—and Mr. Collins, upon whom the estate had been entailed, takes over Netherfield Park with his greedy, selfish wife, Mrs. Caroline Collins (née Bingley). Her brother, the reserved yet surprisingly amiable Mr. Bingley, comes to stay, meeting Jane and falling in love—or so everyone thinks. Mrs. Bennet receives a message from a distant relative, a Sir John Rutherford, to move to Derbyshire where they can live in a cottage on his estate, and thus the Bennets leave their Hertfordshire home forever. Lizzy is thrown in with a taciturn Mr. Darcy, whom everyone says she should marry, since he is lonely and rich—but then she meets the marvelous, enigmatic, and romantic Mr. Wickham, and an infatuation like no other ensues, all while a concerned Mr. Darcy observes quietly from the sidelines. Explore what happens when two sisters—the eldest with an extraordinary amount of sense, the younger having too much sensibility—meet the men with whom they are meant to be.

📮 Vulture Capitalism by Grace Blakeley (.ePUB) In the vein of The Shock Doctrine and Evil Geniuses, this timely and "galvanizing" (Naomi Klein, New York Times bestselling author) manifesto illustrates how corporate and political power brokers have used capitalism to advance their own interests at the expense of the rest of us--and how we can take back our economy. It's easy to look at the state of the world around us and feel hopeless. We live in an era marked by war, climate crisis, political polarization, and acute inequality--and yet many of us feel powerless to do anything about these profound issues. We've been assured that unfettered capitalism is necessary to ensure our freedom and prosperity but why, in our age of unchecked corporate power, are most of us living paycheck to paycheck? When the economy falters, why do governments bail out corporations and shareholders but leave everyday people in the dust? Now, acclaimed journalist and progressive star on the rise Grace Blakeley exposes the corrupt system that is failing all around us, pulling back the curtain on the free-market mythology we have been sold. She also clearly illustrates how, as corporate interests have taken hold, governments have historically been shifting away from competition and democracy towards monopoly and oligarchy. Tracing over a century of neoliberal planning and backdoor bailouts, Blakeley takes us on a deeply reported tour of the corporate crimes, political maneuvering, and economic manipulation that elites have used to enshrine a global system of "vulture capitalism"--planned capitalist economies that benefit corporations and the uber-wealthy at the expense of the rest of us. As "the sort of book that will help us make a better world" (Rob Delaney, New York Times bestselling author), Vulture Capitalism exposes the cracks already emerging within capitalism, lighting a path forward for how we can democratize our economy, not just our politics, to ensure true freedom for all. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Grace Blakeley Size 2.1MB Category Non-Fiction > General Society, Business & Economics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/aBDLCOLKmJpH https://devuploads.com/8kavv4vga9m9

Richard Aintree — or someone pretending to be Richard Aintree — has at last reached out to his two estranged daughters.

📮 The Soviet Union at War 1941-1945 by David Stone (.ePUB) Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 precipitated a massive clash of arms that gave rise to destruction and suffering on an unprecedented scale. The outcome of this ruthless struggle on the Eastern Front was decisive for the course of the war in Europe. Yet the campaigns fought there still receive less attention than those fought by the Western Allies, and are less well understood. That is why this new survey of the Soviet Union during the Second World War, edited by David R. Stone, is so timely and significant. Stone has brought together a distinguished group of experts who give a penetrating reassessment of the Soviet war effort and economy. They offer a telling insight into the way in which enormous obstacles were overcome - and sacrifices were made - in order to achieve an overwhelming victory that changed the shape of Europe. Their wide-ranging analysis seeks to dispel myths and misperceptions that have distorted our understanding of the performance of the Red Army and the Soviet people. Editor David R. Stone is professor of history at Kansas State University. He is a leading authority on the military and political history of the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s. As well as writing numerous journal articles, he is the author of two major studies: A Military History of Russia: From Ivan the Terrible to the War in Chechnya and Hammer and Rifle: The Militarization of the Soviet Union 1926-1933. ♻️ Book's Info: Author David Stone Size 7.0MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/FVaSwXGAPrWS https://devuploads.com/tr86p745bd3r

📮 Delete the Adjective by Lisa Jaster (.ePUB) When you delete your adjectives, who are you? Most people limit themselves to their labels. They embrace barriers based on the box that society puts them in. But your adjectives aren’t your destiny. In Delete the Adjective: A Soldier’s Adventures in Ranger School, Lisa Jaster proves your merit should always trump your labels. Lisa didn’t confine herself to the adjectives of “middle-aged” or “female.” Instead, she became one of the first three women to graduate from the United States Army Ranger program. For those six months in the program, her adjectives didn’t matter. What mattered was that she slept on the same forest ground as her peers (typically twenty-three-year-old men on active duty). She ran the same mock missions and battle drills. She demonstrated the fortitude of a Ranger. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Lisa Jaster Size 6MB Category Non-Fiction > Biographies & Memoirs File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/um3vVA7rSAON https://devuploads.com/ztek20fsc8nr

📮 The 1965 Palm Sunday Tornadoes in Indiana by Janis Thornton (.ePUB) Author Janis Thornton reveals the stories of a day in Indiana like no other. Palm Sunday 1965 started as the nicest day of the year, the kind of weather that encouraged Hoosiers to get out in the sun, fire up the grill, hit the golf course, or roll down their car windows and take a leisurely drive. That evening, however, throughout northern and central Indiana, the sky turned an ominous black, and storms moved in, quickly manifesting as Indiana's worst tornado outbreak. Within three hours, twisters, some a half-mile wide, ripped through seventeen counties, devastating communities and leaving death and destruction in their wake. When the tornadoes were finished with Indiana, 137 people were dead, hundreds were injured, and thousands more were forever changed. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Janis Thornton Size 5.8MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/Pf1NTqRLqMc3 https://devuploads.com/9axjzegjvbgd
