Obama Takes Readers On A Compelling Journey From His Earliest Political Aspirations To The Pivotal Iowa Caucus Victory That Demonstrated The Power Of Grassroots Activism To The Watershed Night Of November 4, 2008, When He Was Elected 44th President Of The United States, Becoming The First African American To Hold The Nation's Highest Office. Reflecting On The Presidency, He Offers A Unique And Thoughtful Exploration Of Both The Awesome Reach And The Limits Of Presidential Power, As Well As Singular Insights Into The Dynamics Of U.s. Partisan Politics And International Diplomacy. Obama Brings Readers Inside The Oval Office And The White House Situation Room, And To Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, And Points Beyond. We Are Privy To His Thoughts As He Assembles His Cabinet, Wrestles With A Global Financial Crisis, Takes The Measure Of Vladimir Putin, Overcomes Seemingly Insurmountable Odds To Secure Passage Of The Affordable Care Act, Clashes With Generals About U.s. Strategy In Afghanistan, Tackles Wall Street Reform, Responds To The Devastating Deepwater Horizon Blowout, And Authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, Which Leads To The Death Of Osama Bin Laden. A Promised Land Is Extraordinarily Intimate And Introspective--the Story Of One Man's Bet With History, The Faith Of A Community Organizer Tested On The World Stage. Obama Is Candid About The Balancing Act Of Running For Office As A Black American, Bearing The Expectations Of A Generation Buoyed By Messages Of Hope And Change, And Meeting The Moral Challenges Of High-stakes Decision-making. He Is Frank About The Forces That Opposed Him At Home And Abroad, Open About How Living In The White House Affected His Wife And Daughters, And Unafraid To Reveal Self-doubt And Disappointment. Yet He Never Wavers From His Belief That Inside The Great, Ongoing American Experiment, Progress Is Always Possible. This Beautifully Written And Powerful Book Captures Barack Obama's Conviction That Democracy Is Not A Gift From On High But Something Founded On Empathy And Common Understanding And Built Together, Day By Day. -- Provided By Publisher.\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\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnited States\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eExecutive Branch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Crown","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45260967739582,"sku":"1524763160-4","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45260967772350,"sku":"1524763160-3","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45260967805118,"sku":"1524763160-5","price":16.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/91-6R0VxRiL.jpg?v=1754075837"},{"product_id":"0199284288-european_politics","title":"European Politics","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing carefully edited contributions from international experts, \u003cb\u003eEuropean Politics\u003c\/b\u003e blends an analysis of individual nation states with an examination of the critical issues that confront them all.

Now she tells the emotionally riveting story of a family torn apart by conflicting needs and a passionate love that triumphs over human weakness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe Washington Post\n\u003cp\u003ePicoult is at her best, and most moving, when writing from the perspective of Anna's mother, Sara. Exhausted by Kate's recurrent illness, Sara is often on edge and overwhelmed. But she is also focused: Her tenacity, her vigilance and her support during Kate's aggressive cancer treatments all give Kate a reason to live. Mothering takes on new meaning, and the mundane becomes surreal: Kate's goldfish, according to the oceanologist Sara consults in a desperate effort to save the pet's life, requires bottled water, and the mere thought of buying Jesse a new pair of soccer cleats after Kate relapses seems \"downright obscene.\"  \u003ci\u003eKatherine Arie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Topics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eCensorship\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Washington Square Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261167526078,"sku":"0743454537-4","price":14.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":46671273623742,"sku":"0743454537-5","price":14.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/41PvE9X1qUL._SL500.jpg?v=1754077069"},{"product_id":"0553577123-the_diary_of_a_young_girl_the_definitive_edition","title":"The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes The Diary Of A Young Girl: The Definitive Edition, By Anne Frank ; Edited By Otto H.

It Follows In The Tradition Of British Election Study Books, Providing A Comprehensive Account Of Specific Election Outcomes- The General Elections Of 2015 And 2017-and A More General And Novel Approach To Understanding Electoral Change. The Authors Examine Five Electoral Shocks That Affected The Elections Of 2015 And 2017: The Rise In Immigration After 2004, Particularly From Eastern Europe; The Global Financial Crisis Prior To 2010; The Coalition Government Of The Conservatives And The Liberal Democrats Between 2010 And 2015; The Scottish Independence Referendum In 2014; And The European Union Referendum In 2016. The Focus On Electoral Shocks Offers An Overarching Explanation For The Volatility In British Elections, Alongside The Long-term Trends That Have Led To This Point. It Offers A Way To Understand The Rise And Fall Of The Uk Independence Party (ukip), Labour's Disappointing 2015 Performance And Its Later Unexpected Gains, The Collapse In Support For The Liberal Democrats, The Dramatic Gains Of The Scottish National Party (snp) In 2015, And The Continuing Period Of Tumultuous Politics That Has Followed The Eu Referendum And The General Election Of 2017.

Dispensing with sensationalism to present the facts about one of the nationâs most notorious politicians, the authors detail the mechanics of the corruption that brought the governor down and profile a fascinating and frustrating character who embodies much of what is wrong with modern politics.

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a precursor to todayâs CIA, was quickly formedâand, in an effort to fill its ranks with experts, the OSS turned to academia for recruits. Suddenly, literature professors, librarians, and historians were training to perform undercover operations and investigative workâand these surprising spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our cultural institutions with their efforts.\u003cbr\u003eIn Book and Dagger, Elyse Graham draws on personal histories, diaries, and declassified OSS files to tell the story of a small but connected group of humanities scholars turned unlikely spies. Among them are Joseph Curtiss, a literature professor who hunted down German spies and turned them into double agents; Sherman Kent, a smart-mouthed history professor who rose to become the head of analysis for all of Europe and Africa; and Adele Kibre, an archivist who was sent to Stockholm to secretly acquire documents for the OSS.

From Christopher Columbus to the Salem Witch trials to the so-called \"Red Scares\" of the 1930s and 40s and much more, Dr. Savage recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public - often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives.\u003cbr\u003eDr. Savage provides vital context for the common elements of dozens of outbreaks of mass hysteria in the past, their causes, their short and long-term effects, and the tactics of the puppet masters who duped gullible masses into fearing threats both real and imagined. By shining a light on the true nature and causes of American mass hysteria in the past, Savage provides an insightful look into who and what is causing dangerous unrest in our lives - and why.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeologies \u0026amp; Doctrines\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eConservatism \u0026amp; Liberalism\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Center Street","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45261685981374,"sku":"1546082913-1","price":22.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81-Nz09Vp6L.jpg?v=1754080874"},{"product_id":"0374273537-thank_you_for_being_late_an_optimists_guide_to_thriving_in_the_age_of_accelerations","title":"Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eA Field Guide To The Twenty-first Century, Written By One Of Its Most Celebrated Observers We All Sense Itâsomething Big Is Going On. You Feel It In Your Workplace. You Feel It When You Talk To Your Kids. You Canât Miss It When You Read The Newspapers Or Watch The News. Our Lives Are Being Transformed In So Many Realms All At Onceâand It Is Dizzying. In Thank You For Being Late, A Work Unlike Anything He Has Attempted Before, Thomas L. Friedman Exposes The Tectonic Movements That Are Reshaping The World Today And Explains How To Get The Most Out Of Them And Cushion Their Worst Impacts. You Will Never Look At The World The Same Way Again After You Read This Book: How You Understand The News, The Work You Do, The Education Your Kids Need, The Investments Your Employer Has To Make, And The Moral And Geopolitical Choices Our Country Has To Navigate Will All Be Refashioned By Friedmanâs Original Analysis. Friedman Begins By Taking Us Into His Own Way Of Looking At The Worldâhow He Writes A Column. After A Quick Tutorial, He Proceeds To Write What Could Only Be Called A Giant Column About The Twenty-first Century. His Thesis: To Understand The Twenty-first Century, You Need To Understand That The Planetâs Three Largest Forcesâmooreâs Law (technology), The Market (globalization), And Mother Nature (climate Change And Biodiversity Loss)âare Accelerating All At Once. These Accelerations Are Transforming Five Key Realms: The Workplace, Politics, Geopolitics, Ethics, And Community. Why Is This Happening? As Friedman Shows, The Exponential Increase In Computing Power Defined By Mooreâs Law Has A Lot To Do With It. The Year 2007 Was A Major Inflection Point: The Release Of The Iphone, Together With Advances In Silicon Chips, Software, Storage, Sensors, And Networking, Created A New Technology Platform. Friedman Calls This Platform âthe Supernovaââfor It Is An Extraordinary Release Of Energy That Is Reshaping Everything From How We Hail A Taxi To The Fate Of Nations To Our Most Intimate Relationships. It Is Creating Vast New Opportunities For Individuals And Small Groups To Save The Worldâor To Destroy It. Thank You For Being Late Is A Work Of Contemporary History That Serves As A Field Manual For How To Write And Think About This Era Of Accelerations. Itâs Also An Argument For âbeing Lateââfor Pausing To Appreciate This Amazing Historical Epoch Weâre Passing Through And To Reflect On Its Possibilities And Dangers. To Amplify This Point, Friedman Revisits His Minnesota Hometown In His Moving Concluding Chapters; There, He Explores How Communities Can Create A âtopsoil Of Trustâ To Anchor Their Increasingly Diverse And Digital Populations. With His Trademark Vitality, Wit, And Optimism, Friedman Shows That We Can Overcome The Multiple Stresses Of An Age Of Accelerationsâif We Slow Down, If We Dare To Be Late And Use The Time To Reimagine Work, Politics, And Community. Thank You For Being Late Is Friedmanâs Most Ambitious Bookâand An Essential Guide To The Present And The Future.\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\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific Topics\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePolitical Economy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45261712785598,"sku":"0374273537-4","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":46670664532158,"sku":"0374273537-6","price":14.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/819C8l2mrzL.jpg?v=1754081298"},{"product_id":"158322730x-endgame-_volume1_the_problem_of_civilization","title":"Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDerrick Jensen's most ambitious, important, and best book to date.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003eThe author, who in earlier books like The Culture of Make Believe discussed his experience of violence and abuse as a child, calls now for determined and even violent resistance to environmental degradation. Jensen comes across in volume I as a provocative but personable philosopher-activist who in lyrical and witty writing bemoans species extinction, sullied air quality, shrinking icecaps, expanding deserts and vanishing forests wrought by humans. But Jensen believes this culture will not undergo any sort of voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living. Civilization, he says in volume II, is killing the planet, so [c]ivilization needs to be brought down now. Jensen dwells through several chapters on the need to destroy tens of thousands of river dams, whether with pickax-wielding citizen armies or through the use of well-placed explosive charges; other chapters consider how simple it would be to paralyze the American capitalist system if small activist cells were to disrupt railway, highway, pipeline and other elements of commercial infrastructure. Jensen clearly feels a close connection to nature, writes movingly about the hoped-for return of the salmon, the trees, the grizzly bears. But he has become so disgusted with what he calls civilization that he has more compassion for the salmon than for his fellow humans.

Probably, yes! But are you, really? The uncomfortable truth is that most of us have good intentions. We vote (sometimes) and occasionally sign a petition or attend a rally. But we mainly âengageâ by consuming politics as if itâs entertainment or a hobby. We obsessively follow the news and complain about the opposition to our friends or spouse. We tweet and post and share. The hours we spend on politics are used mainly as pastime.\\\u003cbr\u003eInstead, political scientist and data analyst Eitan Hersh offers convincing evidence that we should be spending the same number of hours building political organizations, implementing a long-term vision for our local communities, and getting to know our neighbors, whose votes will be needed for solving hard problems.

His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned nineteen, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show--already regarded as the \"the leading light\" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. \"We can infiltrate,\" Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. \"We can take the country back.\"\u003cbr\u003e     Then he went to college. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school. \"Derek Black ... white supremacist, radio host ... New College student???\" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness of his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners--and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table--that Derek started to question the science, history, and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRising Out of Hatred \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal cost.

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":22.47,"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":"8418557257-kamala_harris-_kamalas_way","title":"Kamala Harris \/ Kamala's Way: La historia de la primera mujer vicepresidenta de estados unidos","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eReview      \u003cbr\u003eÂ«Una biografÃ­a repleta de detalles.

We have been told itâs impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do itâit just requires breaking every rule in the âfree-marketâ playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies. We have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.\u003cbr\u003eClimate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. Itâs about changing the worldâbefore the world changes so drastically that no one is safe.
