Joseph Masco offers the first anthropological study of the long-term consequences of the Manhattan Project for the people that live in and around Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the first atomic bomb, and the majority of weapons in the current U.S. nuclear arsenal, were designed. Masco examines how diverse groups--weapons scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, neighboring Pueblo Indian Nations and Nuevomexicano communities, and antinuclear activists--have engaged the U.S. nuclear weapons project in the post-Cold War period, mobilizing to debate and redefine what constitutes \"national security.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e In a pathbreaking ethnographic analysis, Masco argues that the U.S. focus on potential nuclear apocalypse during the Cold War obscured the broader effects of the nuclear complex on American society.

She shows how, over the last century, processes of state formation, construction of ethnic identity, and regional security concerns have contributed to very different outcomes for Akha and their forests in China and Thailand, with Chinese Akha functioning as citizens and grain producers, and Akha in Thailand being viewed as \"non-Thai\" forest destroyers.\u003cbr\u003eThe modern nation-state grapples with local power hierarchies on the periphery of the nation, with varied outcomes. Citizenship in China helps Akha better protect a fluid set of livelihood practices that confer benefits on them and their landscape. Denied such citizenship in Thailand, Akha are helpless when forests and other resources are ruthlessly claimed by the state. Drawing on current anthropological debates on the state in Southeast Asia and more generally on debates on property theory, states and minorities, and political ecology, Sturgeon shows how people live in a continuous state of negotiated boundaries - political, social, and ecological.\u003cbr\u003eThis pioneering comparison of resource access and land use among historically related peoples in two nation-states will be welcomed by scholars of political ecology, environmental anthropology, ethnicity, and politics of state formation in East and Southeast Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNature \u0026amp; Ecology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWater Supply \u0026amp; Land Use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261755973822,"sku":"0295987634-4","price":23.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51VGlfhJNDL._SL500.jpg?v=1754081674"},{"product_id":"1439131333-the_evangelicals_the_struggle_to_shape_america","title":"The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eInitially a populist rebellion against the established Protestant churches, evagelicalism became the dominant religious force in the country before the Civil War, but the northerners and southerners split over the issue of slavery. After the Civil War, the northern evangelicals split, eventually causing a conflict between fundamentalists and modernists. Only after the second World War would conservative evangelicalism gain momentum, thanks in large part to Billy Graham's countrywide revivals. Fitzgerald shows how the conflict between religious conservatives and others led to national culture wars and a Southern Republican stronghold, and how a new generation of evangelicals is challenging the Christian right by preaching social justice and the common good. Fitzgerald suggests that because evangelicals are splintering, America, the most religious of developed nations, will eventually look more like secular Europe. -- The great awakenings and the Evangelical empire -- Evangelicals North and South -- Liberals and conservatives in the post-Civil War North -- The fundamentalist-modernist conflict --The separatists -- Billy Graham and modern evangelicalism -- Pentecostals and Southern Baptists -- Evangelicals in the 1960s -- The fundamentalist uprising in the South -- Jerry Falwell and the moral majority -- The political realignment of the South -- The thinkers of the Christian right -- Pat Robertson: politics and miracles -- The Christian coalition and the Republican Party -- The Christian right and George W.

Michael Kulikowski's History Begins With The Reign Of Hadrian, Who Visited The Farthest Reaches Of His Domain And Created Stable Frontiers, To The Decades After Constantine The Great, Who Overhauled The Government, Introduced A New State Religion, And Founded A Second Rome. Factionalism And Intrigue Sapped The Empire From Within, Even At Its Apex. Roman Politics Could Resemble A Blood Sport: Rivals Resorted To Assassination; Emperors Rose And Fell With Bewildering Speed, Their Reigns Measured In Weeks, Not Years; And Imperial Succession Was Never Entirely Assured. Canny Emperors--including Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, And Diocletian--constantly Cultivated The Aristocracy's Favor To Maintain A Grip On Power. Despite Such Volatility, The Roman Empire Protected Its Borders, Defeating Successive Attacks From Goths And Germans, Persians And Parthians. Yet External Threats Persisted And The Imperial Government Sagged Under Its Own Administrative Weight. Religion, Too, Was In Flux With The Rise Of Christianity And Other Forms Of Monotheism. In The Fourth Century Ce, Constantine And His Heirs Reformed Imperial Institutions By Separating Civilian And Military Hierarchies, Restructuring The Government Of Both Provinces And Cities, And Ensuring The Prominence Of Christianity.

It was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.\u003cbr\u003e The media–Democrat “collusion narrative,” which paints Donald Trump as cat’s paw of Russia, is a studiously crafted illusion.\u003cbr\u003e Despite Clinton’s commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an “insurance policy” against a Trump presidency. Thus was born the collusion narrative, built on an anonymously sourced “dossier,” secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Though acknowledged to be “salacious and unverified” at the FBI’s highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trump’s campaign.\u003cbr\u003e Miraculously, Trump won anyway. But his political opponents refused to accept the voters’ decision. Their collusion narrative was now peddled relentlessly by political operatives, intelligence agents, Justice Department officials, and media ideologues―the vanguard of the “Trump Resistance.” Through secret surveillance, high-level intelligence leaking, and tireless news coverage, the public was led to believe that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election.\u003cbr\u003e Not one to sit passively through an onslaught, President Trump fought back in his tumultuous way. Matters came to a head when he fired his FBI director, who had given explosive House testimony suggesting the president was a criminal suspect, despite privately assuring Trump otherwise. The resulting firestorm of partisan protest cowed the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, whose seemingly limitless investigation bedeviled the administration for two years.\u003cbr\u003e Yet as months passed, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize. Was the collusion narrative an elaborate fraud? And if so, choreographed by whom? Against media–Democrat caterwauling, a doughty group of lawmakers forced a shift in the spotlight from Trump to his investigators and accusers. This has exposed the depth of politicization within American law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. It is now clear that the institutions on which our nation depends for objective policing and clear-eyed analysis injected themselves scandalously into the divisive politics of the 2016 election.\u003cbr\u003e They failed to forge a new Clinton administration.

In addition to his longer indepth reports for \u003ci\u003e20\/20\u003c\/i\u003e, Stossel is featured in a weekly segment called Give Me a Break. His book \u003ci\u003eGive Me a Break\u003c\/i\u003e was a national bestseller. He also hosts ABC s \u003ci\u003eJohn Stossel Specials\u003c\/i\u003e report for ABC radio and ABCNews.com. A graduate of Princeton University, Stossel lives in New York City with his wife and two children.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003eABC News correspondent Stossel mines his 20\/20 segments for often engaging, frequently tendentious challenges to conventional wisdom, presenting a series of myths and then deploying an investigative journalism shovel to unearth truth. This results in snappy debunkings of alarmism, witch-hunts, satanic ritual abuse prosecutions and marketing hokum like the irradiated-foods panic, homeopathic medicine and the notion that bottled water beats tap. Stossel's libertarian convictions make him particularly fond of expos s of government waste and regulatory fiascoes, which are usually effective but lead inexorably to blanket denunciations of monster government and sermons on the wisdom of the market. Sloganeering-Myth: The EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) will make America less sexist. Truth: The EEOC will torment people and enrich lawyers-sometimes crowds out objectivity. The author's complacent glosses on overpopulation and global warming (we can build dykes and move back from the coasts) are especially glib and one-sided. Fans of Stossel's similarly opinionated bestseller Give Me a Break will eat up this new book, but other readers may wince when the author's ideology overshadows the facts. Author tour.

Empires were abolished and replaced by a global arrangement enforced by the U.S. Navy. With all the world's oceans safe for the first time in history, markets and resources were made available for everyone. Enemies became partners.\u003cbr\u003e We think of this system as normal-it is not. We live in an artificial world on borrowed time.\u003cbr\u003e In THE ACCIDENTAL SUPERPOWER, international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how the hard rules of geography are eroding the American commitment to free trade; how much of the planet is aging into a mass retirement that will enervate markets and capital supplies; and how, against all odds, it is the ever-ravenous American economy that-alone among the developed nations-is rapidly approaching energy independence. Combined, these factors are doing nothing less than overturning the global system and ushering in a new (dis)order. \u003cbr\u003e For most, that is a disaster-in-waiting, but not for the Americans. The shale revolution allows Americans to sidestep an increasingly dangerous energy market. Only the United States boasts a youth population large enough to escape the sucking maw of global aging. Most important, geography will matter more than ever in a de-globalizing world, and America's geography is simply sublime. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eSocial Sciences\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Twelve","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45262671413438,"sku":"1455583685-3","price":17.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51lwJ_Cz7zL._SL500.jpg?v=1754101371"},{"product_id":"1621573478-hillarys_america_the_secret_history_of_the_democratic_party","title":"Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Best-selling Author Of Obama's America Characterizes Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton As A Nixonian Political Gangster Out To Control The Country's Wealth In A Scathing Critique That Makes Controversial Claims About Clinton Family Corruption,--novelist.

In brilliant detail, Tuchman illuminates four decisive turning points in history that illustrate the very heights of folly: the Trojan War, the breakup of the Holy See provoked by the Renaissance popes, the loss of the American colonies by Britain’s George III, and the United States’ own persistent mistakes in Vietnam.
