Описание: Surmountable is the first book explicitly written for the millions of people who have taken part in protests or demonstrations but were left wondering what they achieved, and the millions more who sat out events because they questioned the potential for results. The book addresses these lingering doubts and offers a powerful response in the voices of front line social activists, political thought leaders, and every day citizens. Surmountable chronicles the victories and setbacks of ten American and three international civic movements from the past century. Authors Brian Gruber and Adam Monier Edwards uncover the details behind some of history's most iconic events such as the Selma to Montgomery marches for civil rights, lesser known successes including one man's mission to resurrect an unratified Constitutional amendment, and insights from how citizens overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve their goals. We visited 15 cities across four continents near where history was made to seek answers to burning questions such as: Is there an effective playbook for the modern activist? How are successes and failures measured? How universal are the value in the U.S. Constitution? What can we learn from activists from outside the U.S.? Selected interviewees include: Lucy Beard, Alice Paul Institute executive director Sam Walker, National Voting Rights Museum and Institute historian Colleen Sheehan, Villanova University professor, Heritage Foundation scholar, and 5-time author Dr. Todd Gitlin, Columbia University professor, sociologist, and 16-time author Gregory Watson, legislative analyst and driving force behind the 27th Amendment Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive founder and Alexa Internet co-founder Lamine Alibi, Tunisia Patriotic Democratic Unity Party central committee member Kalle Lasn, Adbusters co-founder and Occupy Wall Street co-creator Sergii Kharchuk, Euromaidan activist and Kyiv city councilman Dr. Hong-koo Han, Sungkonghoe University professor of Korean history and author Jay O'Neal, West Virginia teacher strike leader LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, Lakota historian, Standing Rock activist, and NoDAPL movement co-founder

Описание: A recording system based on tokens, spread throughout the Near East from the early Neolithic on, is proposed as a possible but demonstrable antecedent of the cuneiform writing system. Consisting of a rich and differentiated repertory of shapes and markings, this token system is more complex than a simple system of un differentiated counters.
Brian's book offers a candid insight on the raising of a teenage girl, from the not often thought about perspective of a single dad. Taking a sometimes-humorous approach to the realities of being a single father; the chapters offer common sense advice on various topics: from discipline, chores, and dealing with her moodiness to getting her to be ok with you dating.
Brian tries to capture both perspectives, parent and child, with the hope of bringing a common understanding.
Interestingly enough the experiences and suggestions described are universal and apply to parents and teenagers of both genders.
His narration is honest yet light and makes an enjoyable read.

Описание: I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in December 2017. I published Waiting For When I forget I have Alzheimer's YEAR ONE in February 2019. This new book: Traveling With Alzheimer's YEAR TW0 was finished in December 2019. I am presently working on the YEAR THREE BOOK and should finish it in December 2020. I believe the reader will be surprised by my disease progression over the first two years. I clearly document how the diagnosis was made in the YEAR ONE book In this second I wanted to demonstrate that people with Alzheimer's can travel. I encourage people to have fun in the early stages of their disease rather than struggle trying to find a cure. I myself am in a non-treatment trial. I write about getting my second round of scans in YEAR TWO. I am not told the results of these tests. I am donating my brain to the trail. It's all about paying it forward. I review the recent major drug trial failure and articles and books about Alzheimer's. I try to break up the sober information with fun information about my trips. I have 5 cruises planned for YEAR THREE so stay tuned. You can read about it in real time on my blog. meandgin.blogspot.com Or follow me on twitter on @brianedwardsMD
I Might Have Been Queen? Child please, more like The Bitch Is Back okurrr? My baby boy Brian Edwards come a-callin' asking ME, Jenifer MF'ing Lewis, could he wear my electric blue coat from Jackie's Back?
I've known this crazy man since 1996 when we first met at the William Morris Agency in Beverly Hills. Since he's been such a loyal supportive friend all these years, I said, "Yes, fool. Only for you."
So ya'll take it from me, the Mother of Black Hollywood, read this damn book and see how crazily fabulous this queen really is.

Описание: This is a different type of book on Alzheimer's. There are no claims on how to prevent this dementia. There are no claims on how to cure Alzheimer's. In a cancer diagnosis, the patient can fight and win. In Alzheimer's, no one has fought and won. Don't fight, have fun. The patient's time is limited, so instead of looking for false nostrums, look on how you can improve your relationships with people and socialize. This book is not about the futility of treating Alzheimer's. I will leave that to the many trials that have been done. This book is about how I adjusted to the shock of the diagnosis and then went on to live the best life I possibly could.
Описание: "When Henry Luce announced in 1941 that we were living in the `American century,` he believed that the international popularity of American culture made the world favorable to U.S. interests. Now, in the digital twenty-first century, the American century has been superseded, as American movies, music, video games, and television shows are received, understood, and transformed in unexpected ways. How do we make sense of this shift? Building on a decade of fieldwork in Cairo, Casablanca, and Tehran, Brian T. Edwards maps new routes of cultural exchange that are innovative, accelerated, and full of diversions. Shaped by the digital revolution, these paths are entwined with the growing fragility of American `soft` power. They indicate an era after the American century, in which popular American products and phenomena--such as comic books, teen romances, social-networking sites, and ways of expressing sexuality--are stripped of their associations with the United States and recast in very different forms. Arguing against those who talk about a world in which American culture is merely replicated or appropriated, Edwards focuses on creative moments of uptake, in which Arabs and Iranians make something unpredicted. He argues that these products do more than extend the reach of the original. They reflect a world in which culture endlessly circulates and gathers new meanings"--From publisher`s websit
