Описание: Alexandra David-Neel was the first European woman to meet the Dalai Lama and to enter the Tibetan capital, Lhasa. In the 1920s she journeyed through Tibet which was then a closed and mysterious world. Recording her discoveries, many of them extraordinary feats of magic and mysticism, she describes the Buddhist monks who live naked in freezing temperatures, who can run for days at a time, how they use telepathy and can defy gravity, and the physic sports practised. Rarely out of print for nearly eighty years, this is a true classic of travel writing.

In Bioinsecurities Neel Ahuja argues that U.S. imperial expansion has been shaped by the attempts of health and military officials to control the interactions of humans, animals, viruses, and bacteria at the borders of U.S. influence, a phenomenon called the government of species. The book explores efforts to control the spread of Hansen's disease, venereal disease, polio, smallpox, and HIV through interventions linking the continental United States to Hawai'i, Panamá, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Congo, Iraq, and India in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Ahuja argues that racial fears of contagion helped to produce public optimism concerning state uses of pharmaceuticals, medical experimentation, military intervention, and incarceration to regulate the immune capacities of the body. In the process, the security state made the biological structures of human and animal populations into sites of struggle in the politics of empire, unleashing new patient activisms and forms of resistance to medical and military authority across the increasingly global sphere of U.S. influence.

Описание: In 1875, a team of cartographers, geologists, and scientists under the direction of Ferdinand V. Hayden entered the Four Corners area for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a previous survey. Their accomplishments would go down in history as one of the great American surveying expeditions of the nineteenth century. By skillfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries, field notes, and correspondence with newspaper accounts, historians Robert S. McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel bring the Hayden Survey to life. Mapping the Four Corners provides an entertaining, engaging narrative of the team's experiences, contextualized with a thoughtful introduction and conclusion. Accompanied by the great photographer William Henry Jackson, Hayden's team quickly found their trip to be more challenging than expected. The travelers describe wrangling half-wild pack mules, trying to sleep in rain-soaked blankets, and making tea from muddy, alkaline water. Along the way, they encountered diverse peoples, evidence of prehistoric civilizations, and spectacular scenery - Hispanic villages in Colorado and New Mexico; Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and other Anasazi sites; and the Hopi mesas. Not everyone they met was glad to see them: in southeastern Utah surveyors fought and escaped a band of Utes and Paiutes who recognized that the survey meant dispossession from their homeland. Hayden saw his expedition as a scientific endeavor focused on geology, geographic description, cartographic accuracy, and even ethnography, but the search for economic potential was a significant underlying motive. As this book shows, these pragmatic scientists were on the lookout for gold beneath every rock, grazing lands in every valley, and economic opportunity around each bend in the trail. The Hayden Survey ultimately shaped the American imagination in contradictory ways, solidifying the idea of ""progress"" - and government funding of its pursuit - while also revealing, via Jackson's photographs, a landscape with a beauty hitherto unknown and unimagined.

Описание:
THE ELECTORS opens with a bang, literally, and a Presidential election is turned upside down.
Every four years Americans go to the polls to elect a president- or at least they think they do. In fact, they elect Electors, who gather five weeks later to cast their votes for the candidate of the party who wins their state.
Except when they don't.
A riveting story of massive political corruption, THE ELECTORS follows a conspiracy hatched by the White House Chief of Staff, in the wake of a devastating terrorist incident in the nation's Capitol.
Armed with world-class online hackers and unlimited secret political funds, two forces collide in a nail-biting chase to claim the world's most powerful office.
While the President's agents plot to steal reelection, the challenger's team races against the political timetable to uncover the most diabolical scheme since Watergate. As one commentator noted-
"This is a story that would simply be a great political thriller...if it weren't so frighteningly possible."
THE ELECTORS enters an unthinkable scenario that was, in fact, predicted two centuries ago by Thomas Jefferson..."the Electoral College] is the most dangerous blot on our constitution, and one which some unlucky chance will some day hit."
That day has arrived.
