Описание: Drawing on research, this volume covers the history of England between the accession of George II and the loss of the American colonies. It reveals simmering discontent in which evangelical enthusiasm clashed with scientific rationalism, aristocratic government with popular insubordination, industrial and imperial expansion with plebian poverty.
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution includes a multi-step process for the vice president and the majority of the president's cabinet to declare the president unfit--unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office
So why hasn't it ever been used?
Meet Nolan Doldrums, a boastful, egotistical oil magnate/political novice who has somehow been elected President of the United States. This narcissistic bully uses social media to ridicule business competition and political opponents, and denigrate women, immigrants, and the disabled. Nolan is a lightning rod for controversy and division and, in fact, thrives on the politics of division. His speeches and politically incorrect style on race and race relations, for example, spur hostility and dissension between his political base and opponents and members of his own party.
PolitEGO is a fictional novel, yet it is also a social commentary on narcissism, political egotism, self-interest, and apathy--along with the influence of these behaviors on our politics and the decline of democracy and democratic values. Its theme is a bona fide crisis in today's political climate and a legitimate threat to U.S. democratic values and politics.
Ultimately, PolitEGO is a terrifying yet timely story of how a narcissistic, politically incorrect president and his egocentric Machiavellian politics bring the U.S. and its allies to the brink of World War III, civil conflict, and economic collapse.

Описание: Does the Black Middle Class Exist And Are We Members makes two contributions into the research of the black middle class. First, it explores how Black South Africans conceptualize middle classness. Second, it demonstrates how this conceptualization informs researchers` social identity within the Black middle class.
Due to the increasing lingua-cultural heterogeneity of today’s users of English, it has become necessary to examine politeness, translation and transcultural communication from a different perspective. This book proposes a concept for a transdisciplinary methodology to shed some light onto the opaque relationship between the lingua-cultural biographies of users of English and their patterns of perceiving and realizing politeness in speech acts. The methodology incorporates aspects of CAT tools and business intelligence systems, and is designed for long-term research that can serve as a foundation for theoretical studies or practical contexts, such as customer relationship management and marketing.
