Digital Currency or Digital Control?: Decoding CBDC and the Future of Money by Nicholas Anthony
English | June 18, 2024 | ISBN: 1964524385 | 174 pages | PDF | 2.96 Mb
Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are on the rise. In an attempt to reinvent money as we know it, central bankers and other policymakers around the world are currently researching, developing, and launching CBDCs. The prospect has caught the attention of the president of the United States, Congress, international institutions, and government contractors, but the public has largely been left out of this development. That needs to change.

CBDCs are not simply "another form of money." Rather, CBDCs pose significant risks to financial privacy, freedom, and markets. Furthermore, CBDCs would open the economy to new cybersecurity risks while also jeopardizing the function and independence of central banks themselves. Yet, what is probably worst of all is that CBDCs fail to offer any unique benefits that offset these costs and justify the government's intervention in the market.
In Digital Currency or Digital Control, monetary and financial economic expert Nicholas Anthony provides everything you need to get up to speed on CBDCs so that you can know what is at stake. From the myths of CBDC benefits to the threats posed by CBDC risks, this book will help you decode what CBDC means for the future of money.

Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded Desert by Sunaura Taylor
English | May 21, 2024 | ISBN: 0520393066 | True EPUB | 368 pages | 23.5 MB
"With breath-catching insight and enveloping compassion, Sunaura Taylor shares a secret of epochal urgency: people living with injury and impairment have much to teach about how to survive, and perhaps even thrive, on an injured and impaired planet."-Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger

A powerful analysis and call to action that reveals disability as one of the defining features of environmental devastation and resistance.
Deep below the ground in Tucson, Arizona, lies an aquifer forever altered by the detritus of a postwar Superfund site. Disabled Ecologies tells the story of this contamination and its ripple effects through the largely Mexican American community living above. Drawing on her own complex relationship to this long-ago injured landscape, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow the site's disabled ecology-the networks of disability, both human and wild, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered.
What Taylor finds is a story of entanglements that reach far beyond the Sonoran Desert. These stories tell of debilitating and sometimes life-ending injuries, but they also map out alternative modes of connection, solidarity, and resistance-an environmentalism of the injured. An original and deeply personal reflection on what disability means in an era of increasing multispecies disablement, Disabled Ecologies is a powerful call to reflect on the kinds of care, treatment, and assistance this age of disability requires.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819759862 | 444 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 52 MB
Education serves as a cornerstone for gaining knowledge and taking initiative. However, despite efforts in disaster and climate risk education (DCRE), a gap often exists between awareness and meaningful action. To bridge this gap and promote a progression from awareness to empowerment, we offer the KIDA (Knowledge Interest Desire Action) framework. The foundation of this framework is a collaboration between schools, communities, and families, which calls for support from educational boards and local governments.

DISCOURSE DIPLOMACY of EMMANUEL MACRON: France's Reset: From Domination to Cooperation (Peacebuilding and Development) by Uwem Essia
English | May 28, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0D5J2KQ6S | 127 pages | EPUB | 0.31 Mb
Discourse Diplomacy of Emmanuel Macron is a captivating exploration into the powerful rhetoric of one of today's most influential leaders. As an avid observer of international relations and political strategy, I dissected Macron's pivotal speeches and public statements to uncover the layers of meaning and intent behind his words. For instance, I read his 'Make Our Planet Great Again' speech, where he rallied global support for climate action, and his 'Europe: A Sovereign, United, and Democratic Power' speech, where he outlined his vision for a stronger Europe.

In this book, I meticulously examined key speeches, including Macron's address to Ambassadors, his landmark speech at the University of Ouagadougou, and his visionary discourse at Sorbonne University. Through these profound speeches, Macron unveils his strategic vision for a united Europe, a cooperative relationship between Europe and Africa, and a redefined multipolar global order.
I highlight how Macron confronts past failures with candor, acknowledges historical grievances, and sets ambitious goals for the future. His emphasis on mutual interests, shared challenges, and humanistic values reflects a profound understanding of contemporary global issues.
This book is not just an academic analysis but a deep dive into the art of discourse diplomacy. Macron's use of language to ignite change, foster cooperation, and build a better future is a testament to the transformative power of words.

The contributions to this volume collectively illustrate the importance of local social, physical, and religious arrangements, while revealing that neither distance from Darwin's home at Down nor size of community greatly influenced how various regions responded to Darwinism. Essays spanning the world from Great Britain and North America to Australia and New Zealand explore the various meanings for Darwinism in these widely separated locales, while other chapters focus on the difference it made in the debates over evolution.

Distorting Democracy: The Forgotten History of the Electoral College-and Why it Matters Today by Carolyn Renée Dupont
English | September 29th, 2024 | ISBN: 1493085980 | 250 pages | True EPUB | 5.92 MB
The complicated history of how America elects presidents and why this matters to the next election

An engaging mix of history and political science, Distorting Democracy will awaken Americans to the perils of our system by unveiling the Electoral College's origins, history, and current problems. This book demonstrates that the system has no principled foundation, that it has changed dramatically over its 230-year history, and that it now threatens the legitimacy of our political system.
The book is divided into three ground-breaking sections:
Part I tells the story of the Electoral College's origins in the Constitutional Convention. Defenders of the Electoral College tend to invoke gauzy images of the Founding Fathers infusing our system with their unique, timeless wisdom. But history tells a very different story. The Founding Fathers faced a mess; they responded by creating a mess.
Part II traces two hundred years of innovations-many of them subtle but highly consequential-to the plan described in the Constitution. As the new nation rapidly descended into bitter political conflict, many of the framers themselves, driven by their partisan interests, massaged the Electoral College into a form that differed profoundly from their founding intentions. Subsequent generations tinkered similarly with the systems' possibilities, always exploiting its potential for political gain.
Part III examines how our strange presidential election system has produced frustrating results with increasing frequency in recent elections. Who can forget the Bush-Gore contest of 2000, when the results hinged on "hanging chads" and fewer than 1,500 votes in Florida? Americans endured weeks of a single-state recount, only to have the Supreme Court halt the process and hand the election to George W. Bush. Bush won the Electoral College by a single vote, but Al Gore captured 500,000 more popular votes. Then, in 2016, Donald Trump stunned the world with a substantial Electoral College victory of 302-227, though nearly 3 million more Americans preferred his opponent, and roughly 7 million voted for a third-party candidate.The system increasingly returns results that conflict with the expressed wishes of a majority of voters, a product of our hyper-polarized landscape and unique geopolitical distribution of party loyalists.
The system cannot improve until we learn the complicated history of the Electoral College and the lessons it holds for us today.
"Every American should read this book. It brings facts and clarity to a debate that too often relies on conjecture about the Electoral College's purposes and ill-informed arguments about how it actually operates. The lessons herein are immense." - Joshua A. Douglas, Ashland, Inc-Spears Distinguished Research Professor of Law, University of Kentucky

Bonnie Roos, "Djuna Barnes's Nightwood: The World and the Politics of Peace"
English | ISBN: 1472530667 | 2014 | 232 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Ranging over depression-era politics, the failures of the League of Nations, popular journalism and the Modernist culture exemplified by such writers as James Joyce and T.S. Eliot, this is a comprehensive exploration of the historical contexts of Djuna Barnes's masterpiece, Nightwood.

In Djuna Barnes's Nightwood: 'The World' and the Politics of Peace, Bonnie Roos reads Barnes's novel against the backdrop of Herbert Bayard Swope's popular New York newspaper The World to demonstrate the ways in which the novel wrestles with such contemporaneous issues as the Great Depression and its political fallout, the failures of the League of Nations and the collapse of peace between the two World Wars. Roos argues that Nightwood allegorizes the role of liberal newspapers - epitomised by the sensationalism of The World - in driving a US policy that hastened the arrival of war.

Dorothy Dandridge: Vida y legado de una de las primeras actrices negras de éxito de Hollywood (Spanish Edition) by Charles River Editors
Spanish | August 6, 2024 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0DCGH4JLM | 63 pages | EPUB | 2.09 Mb
"Si fuera blanca, podría capturar el mundo". - Dorothy Dandridge

El brillante sol de verano brillaba felizmente en un recóndito valle enclavado en la romántica Costa del Sol, en el sur de España. El agua burbujea alegremente sobre el lecho de un arroyo rocoso mientras los árboles se mecen con la suave brisa tropical y cubren las orillas con sombras juguetonas. Una mirada más atenta revela a un hombre y una mujer entrelazados en la orilla rocosa en un abrazo íntimo. El hombre tiembla de deseo al inclinarse sobre la mujer, con los labios separados a escasos centímetros de los de ella. Ella lo rodea con los brazos, y las yemas de sus dedos se clavan apasionadamente en la piel de su espalda mientras lo acerca.
De repente, suena la voz de un director: "¡Corten!"
El hombre era blanco. La mujer era negra, y en Hollywood, en 1959, eso aún era tabú.
La tórrida escena se rodó para la película Málaga, y la actriz que la protagonizaba, Dorothy Dandridge, acababa de compartir el polémico primer beso interracial de Hollywood en la pantalla un año antes. A pesar de esta distinción y de otros logros más notables, hoy en día mucha gente no conoce a esta innovadora actriz, a pesar de que fue una de las más carismáticas y bellas de la época. Sus seductores números en clubes nocturnos hicieron vibrar a todo el mundo y fue la primera actriz negra de Hollywood.
Lamentablemente, todo ello tuvo un alto precio. Dorothy llevó las cicatrices de una infancia atormentada, soportó las secuelas de múltiples relaciones fracasadas, sufrió reveses profesionales y financieros y luchó contra el abuso continuado de alcohol y medicamentos. Durante todo ese tiempo, el racismo fue el demonio más tenaz contra el que tuvo que luchar, porque Dorothy alcanzó la mayoría de edad en una época en la que la sociedad y el mundo del espectáculo mantenían en gran medida estereotipos raciales degradantes. Aunque apareció en 15 películas, su carrera se vio eclipsada por el trabajo de leyendas blancas contemporáneas de la pantalla como Grace Kelly, Judy Garland y Marilyn Monroe. Dorothy creía, comprensiblemente, que podría haber llegado a ser mucho más si hubiera nacido blanca. Como dijo conmovedoramente: "¿Qué era yo? ¿Esa anticuada 'mulata trágica' de la ficción anterior? Por extraño que parezca, este concepto sigue teniendo cierta validez en una sociedad aún no integrada. Yo no era plenamente aceptado en ninguno de los dos mundos, blanco o negro. Era demasiado clara para satisfacer a los negros, pero no lo bastante para conseguir el trabajo en la pantalla, los papeles y el estatus matrimonial de una mujer blanca".
Sin embargo, Dorothy hizo grandes progresos para la comunidad negra y abrió caminos para los artistas de minorías. Se enfrentó a los estereotipos raciales, superó las convenciones cinematográficas imperantes y batió récords de asistencia a lo largo de toda su carrera. Alcanzó el estrellato como protagonista de la película Carmen Jones, en 1954, y su interpretación le valió una nominación al Oscar a la mejor actriz, el primer Oscar para una mujer negra.
