Civilization at Risk

Civilization at Risk

Author: Ron Petitte
Publishing date: 2016
The evil that permeates sex trafficking is not going to stop; but, it can be discouraged and abated and people's lives spared the incalculable damage such evil inflicts. Regardless, the scourge will continue, and tomorrow's press will detail more tragedy for the victims of human trafficking. All of the author's proceeds, for the writing of this book, go directly to the Justice and Mercy Initiative at Bryan College to fight human trafficking. "An anthology of vignettes, contemplations, and proposed reforms to combat the social ills of rape and human trafficking, Civilization at Risk is thoughtful, serious-minded, and an open call to change cultural tolerance of heinous acts. Highly recommended, as is the previous volume in the series, 'Civilization at Risk: Seeds of

Come Hell and High Water

Come Hell and High Water

Author: Jean Hood
Publishing date: 2006
This collection of 17 remarkable maritime stories stretches from 1752 to 2005 across several countries, including warships and merchantmen, steam and sail, the humble and the prestigious. Encompassing the major causes of maritime disaster - war, weather, navigation, human failings and technology - it highlights the themes and qualities that make the maritime drama so compelling: and it dares to challenge the popular perception of the Titanic as the greatest shipwreck story of all time. The drunken captain of an unseaworthy ferry who refuses to return to port in bad weather because he would have to refund the fares; the naval captain who entrusts the navigation of his frigate to a passenger; the crew who callously ignored freezing survivors on a dismasted wreck; the

Continental Britons

Continental Britons

Author: Marion Berghahn
Publishing date: 2007
Based on numerous in-depth and personal interviews with members of three generations, this is the first comprehensive study of German-Jewish refugees who came to England in the 1930s. The author addresses questions such as perceptions of Germany and Britain and attitudes towards Judaism. On the basis of many case studies, the author shows how the refugees adjusted, often amazingly successfully, to their situation in Britain. While exploring the process of acculturation of the German-Jews in Britain, the author challenges received ideas about the process of Jewish assimilation in general, and that of the Jews in Germany in particular, and offers a new interpretation in the light of her own empirical data and of current anthropological theory. "...a scholarly yet

Classical Antiquity in Video Games

Publishing date: 2020
From gaming consoles to smartphones, video games are everywhere today, including those set in historical times and particularly in the ancient world. This volume explores the varied depictions of the ancient world in video games and demonstrates the potential challenges of games for scholars as well as the applications of game engines for educational and academic purposes. With successful series such as "Assassin's Creed" or "Civilization" selling millions of copies, video games rival even television and cinema in their role in shaping younger audiences' perceptions of the past. Yet classical scholarship, though embracing other popular media as areas of research, has so far largely ignored video games as a vehicle of classical reception. This collection of essays

Crack in the Edge of World

Crack in the Edge of World

Author: Simon Winchester
Publishing date: 2005
A burgeoning new city is built on the dreams of the American gold rush. It is also built upon a landscape that has been stretching, sliding and breaking apart for millennia. In 1906 the dreams of this city came crashing down beneath the rippling wave of a horrifying earthquake that turned roads into great rippling rivers, that set buildings ablaze for days on end, that made homes collapse upon themselves. Simon Winchester's breathtaking story delves deep beneath the surface of the earth and explains to us why the world moves as it does; and breaks apart with such devastating results. At the same time he never lets us forget the human story: what happened in this new, seemingly blessed city on the 18th April 1906. As he vividly portrays the lives of the people who

Creating the Other: Volume 1

Creating the Other: Volume 1

Publishing date: 2004
The historic myths of a people/nation usually play an important role in the creation and consolidation of the basic concepts from which the self-image of that nation derives. These concepts include not only images of the nation itself, but also images of other peoples. Although the construction of ethnic stereotypes during the "long" nineteenth century initially had other functions than simply the homogenization of the particular culture and the exclusion of "others" from the public sphere, the evaluation of peoples according to criteria that included "level of civilization" yielded "rankings" of ethnic groups within the Habsburg Monarchy. That provided the basis for later, more divisive ethnic characterizations of exclusive nationalism, as addressed in this volume

Fire in the Sky

Fire in the Sky

Author: Michael Molkentin
Publishing date: 2012
'I half rolled, and there before my eyes was as perfect a target as I had ever seen in my life. A pressure of a thumb, a short burst, a puff of smoke, a flash of flame, a hole on the clouds - and it was over.' Lieutenant Robert McKenzie, No. 2 Squadron Australian Flying Corps. When the First World War began in August 1914, aeroplanes were a novelty, barely a decade old. Despite this, Australia was one of just a few nations outside Europe to establish a military flying school and corps. From a first class of four student pilots the Australian Flying Corps would grow to number almost 4000 by the armistice. Its young volunteers were pioneers in a completely new dimension of warfare as they struggled for control of the skies over the Western Front and Middle East.
