How the Middle East can achieve political change and social progressThe Middle East is in upheaval: a widening chasm between state and society, the failure of governing elites to address citizens’ genuine grievances, massive economic mismanagement—all made worse by repeated interventions by Western powers. Why has political change been so difficult to achieve? In The Great Betrayal, Fawaz Gerges argues that the convergence of political authoritarianism, meddling by the West, and the effects of prolonged regional conflicts have produced political paralysis and economic stagnation. The agency of everyday people has been thwarted by an authoritarian status quo that is maintained by a powerful partnership of external and internal forces. Gerges traces more than a century of consequential events in the region, from the end of the Ottoman Empire and the European carve-up of the Middle East to the Iranian Revolution and the Arab Spring uprisings. He shows how the people of the Middle East have been systematically denied self-determination, political representation, and effective government. Gerges finds that the region, with its diversity, variability, and volatility, defies abstract grand theories; previous accounts that have attributed the Middle East’s problems to any one cause such as modernism, ignore the complexity and specificity ...

A bestselling account of why the Islamic world has been losing the conflict with the West for 300 years - and the frustration and humiliation this has produced.For many centuries, Islam was the world''s greatest, most open, most enlightened, most creative, most powerful civilisation. And then everything changed, as the previously despised West won victory after victory, first on the battlefield and in the marketplace, then in almost every aspect of public and even private life. Bernard Lewis examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it tried to understand why things had changed, and he provides a fascinating portrait of a culture in turmoil. Some Middle Easterners asked not ''who did this to us?'' but ''where did we go wrong?''; while others fastened blame on a series of scapegoats, both internal and external - and the results are very much with us today.

The West’s strategy of engagement with China has failed. More than three decades of trade and investment with the advanced democracies have left that country far richer and stronger than it would otherwise have been. But growth and development have not caused China’s rulers to relax their grip on political power, abandon their mercantilist economic policies, or accept the rules and norms of the existing international system. To the contrary: China today is more repressive at home, more aggressive abroad, and more obviously intent on establishing itself as the world’s preponderant power than at any time since the death of Chairman Mao. What went wrong? Put simply, the democracies underestimated the resilience, resourcefulness, and ruthlessness of the Chinese Communist Party. For far too long, the United States and its allies failed to take seriously the Party’s unwavering determination to crush opposition, build national power, and fulfill its ideological and geopolitical ambitions. In this timely and powerfully argued study, Aaron Friedberg identifies the assumptions underpinning engagement, describes the counterstrategy that China’s Communist Party rulers devised in order to exploit the West’s openness while defeating its plans, and explains what the democracies must do now if they wish to preserve their prosperity, ...

With growing academic responsibilities, family commitments, and inboxes, scholars are struggling to fulfill their writing goals. A finished book or even steady journal articles may seem like an impossible dream. But, as Joli Jensen proves, it really is possible to write happily and productively in academe. Jensen begins by busting the myth that universities are supportive writing environments. She points out that academia, an arena dedicated to scholarship, offers pressures that actually prevent scholarly writing. She shows how to acknowledge these less-than-ideal conditions, and how to keep these circumstances from draining writing time and energy. Jensen introduces tools and techniques that encourage frequent, low-stress writing. She points out common ways writers stall and offers workarounds that maintain productivity. Her focus is not on content, but on how to overcome whatever stands in the way of academic writing.Write No Matter What draws on popular and scholarly insights into the writing process and stems from Jensen's experience designing and directing a faculty writing program.

Writing from personal experience, Heather Thompson Day dives deep into what makes us feel overwhelmed or defeated by the hopes we once had, the disappointments we should have overcome, the goals we expected to accomplish, and the person we wanted to be. Somehow and somewhere along the way, we stopped following our heart and started listening to the lies in our head: It’s time you gave up on that childish dream. What makes you think you could accomplish that? Others see who you really are, so stop trying to be someone else. So we decided to play it safe and just accept our lot in life. And instead of feeling alive every day, we walk through our days numb and uninspired. But this book will help readers see how: Pursuing a painless passion means you have an insignificant ...

Everywhere we look, we see brokenness: wars, cruelty, and heartache and much more. We feel it in the world around us and in our own lives. How did it get to be this way?During his tenure as founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller explained on a weekly basis how the Bible provides the most comprehensive and sophisticated response to the fundamental questions of life. In What Is Wrong with the World?, based on a series of teachings given at Redeemer, Keller answers the title''s pressing question by revealing that the only thing that can account for the world''s pain and chaos is what the Bible calls sin.

Vzpomínky Gerty Vrbové popisují dramatické události mezi lety 1939 a 1945, které se odehrávaly na území Slovenska a Maďarska tak, jak je zažila dospívající Gerti. Gerta Sidonová, Gerta Takács, Gerta Jurkovičová, Éva Takács, Éva Jurkovics... Pod každým jménem se skrývá příběh o nebezpečí a strachu, o falešné identitě, útěku, zkoumavé nedůvěře vůči okolí, ale také o odhodlání se nevzdávat. Gerta Vrbová, dnes emeritní profesorka neurologie na University College v Londýně, se narodila roku 1926 v Trnavě. Sidonovi zde měli řeznictví a patřili k váženým rodinám. Sílící tlak slovenského nacionalismu přiměl rodinu k ilegálnímu útěku do Budapešti. Hlavní dilema svých rozhodnutí během války shrnula autorka už v samotném názvu knihy: Komu můžu věřit, koho mám oklamat? Balance mezi oběma póly, kdy na jedné straně stojí někdy upřímná, někdy opatrná důvěra a na druhé straně schopnost věrohodně se přetvařovat a lhát, byla pro přežití za války rozhodující.

"The narratives of those marginalized by Western medicine—and how they've suffered from discriminatory medical systems—are told through watercolors and digital art in this touching collection." —New York Times “A humane and gripping work that illuminates how (and why) our treatments of chronic illness fail, and a devastating portrait of the ways our society fails to protect the bodies of its most vulnerable members.” —Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award"Utterly riveting, deeply moving, absolutely molecule-rearranging exploration of pain—individual and collective—suffused with wit, wonder, and mourning; textured by compassion and curiosity, and vibrating with the humanity of its dynamic subjects. Williams' sharp, nimble, tender prose, and her searing art--humming with insight and imagination--speak to veins of human experience so difficult to articulate we often shy away from speaking them at all.

Audioknihu Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch napsal autor: Kateřina Tučková, čte: Vilma Cibulková. Byla rodilá Brňačka… než začalo být důležité, jestli má víc české nebo německé krve. Příběh děvčete „dvojí krve“ začíná nevinně na hodinách kreslení s kamarádkou Janinkou a s příchodem nacismu potemňuje stejně jako postava násilnického otce, jemuž nástup fašismu vlije energii do žil. Neblahé následky nese Gerta ještě před koncem války, který je pro ni začátkem nového pekla. Uplatňování principu kolektivní viny na těch, kteří byli po ruce, se v sugestivním líčení pohořelického pochodu smrti, jímž vygradoval divoký odsun Němců z Brna, doslova zhmotňuje před očima. I přes hrůzné zážitky se však Gerta rozhodne Československo, jež považuje za svůj domov, neopustit. Dočasný azyl nachází ve vsi Perná pod Pálavskými vrchy, odkud ji nakonec vyžene násilná kolektivizace a noví usedlíci, kteří k nedávno nabyté půdě ani krajině nemají žádný vztah.
