You Say You Want a Revolution? Radical Idealism and Its Tragic Consequences - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Why have so many of the iconic revolutions of modern times ended in bloody tragedies? And what lessons can be drawn from these failures today, in a world where political extremism is on the rise and rational reform based on moderation and compromise often seems impossible to achieve? In You Say You Want a Revolution?, Daniel Chirot examines a wide range of right- and left-wing revolutions around the world—from the late eighteenth century to today—to provide important new answers to these critical questions. From the French Revolution of the eighteenth century to the Mexican, Russian, German, Chinese, anticolonial, and Iranian revolutions of the twentieth, Chirot finds that moderate solutions to serious social, economic, and political problems were overwhelmed by radical ideologies that promised simpler, drastic remedies. But not all revolutions had this outcome. The American Revolution didn’t, although its failure to resolve the problem of slavery eventually led to the Civil War, and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe was relatively peaceful, except in Yugoslavia. From Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, and Cambodia to Algeria, Angola, Haiti, and Romania, You Say You Want a Revolution? explains why violent radicalism, corruption, and the betrayal of ideals won in so many crucial cases, why it didn’t in some others—and what the long-term prospects for major social change are if liberals can’t deliver needed reforms. A powerful account of the unintended consequences of revolutionary change, You Say You Want a Revolution? is filled with critically important lessons for today’s liberal democracies struggling with new forms of extremism. Daniel Chirot is the Herbert J. Ellison Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies at the Henry Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. He is the author of many books, most recently, The Shape of the New: Four Big Ideas and How They Made the Modern World (with Scott L. Montgomery) (Princeton), which was named one of the New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of the Year.

Have you ever on a luminous autumn day had a shiver of anticipation of winter to come? And felt regret at the passing of the summer flowers and warmth? You might forget at that moment about the different pleasures of winter, and that spring and autumn come again, and that the seeds that are dormant or started in winter burst forth in glory come spring." -- from The Only Menopause Guide You'll Need

The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: An eye-opening account of how the hidden rise of personalization on the Internet is controlling-and limiting-the information we consume. In December 2009, Google began customizing its search results for each user. Instead of giving you the most broadly popular result, Google now tries to predict what you are most likely to click on. According to MoveOn.org board president Eli Pariser, Google's change in policy is symptomatic of the most significant shift to take place on the Web in recent years-the rise of personalization. In this groundbreaking investigation of the new hidden Web, Pariser uncovers how this growing trend threatens to control how we consume and share information as a society-and reveals what we can do about it. Though the phenomenon has gone largely undetected until now, personalized filters are sweeping the Web, creating individual universes of information for each of us. Facebook-the primary news source for an increasing number of Americans-prioritizes the links it believes will appeal to you so that if you are a liberal, you can expect to see only progressive links. Even an old-media bastion like The Washington Post devotes the top of its home page to a news feed with the links your Facebook friends are sharing. Behind the scenes a burgeoning industry of data companies is tracking your personal information to sell to advertisers, from your political leanings to the color you painted your living room to the hiking boots you just browsed on Zappos. In a personalized world, we will increasingly be typed and fed only news that is pleasant, familiar, and confirms our beliefs-and because these filters are invisible, we won't know what is being hidden from us. Our past interests will determine what we are exposed to in the future, leaving less room for the unexpected encounters that spark creativity, innovation, and the democratic exchange of ideas. While we all worry that the Internet is eroding privacy or shrinking our attention spans, Pariser uncovers a more pernicious and far- reaching trend on the Internet and shows how we can- and must-change course. With vivid detail and remarkable scope, The Filter Bubble reveals how personalization undermines the Internet's original purpose as an open platform for the spread of ideas and could leave us all in an isolated, echoing world.

The Anti-Estrogenic Diet: How Estrogenic Foods and Chemicals Are Making You Fat and Sick - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: • Lower your risk of metabolic disorders, disease, and chronic weight gain• Protect yourself against the estrogenic substances in the environment, products, water, and food• Learn how certain foods and herbs can protect you!Estrogenic chemicals—known for causing the near extinction of various living species—are found in some of the most common foods we eat.In this revolutionary diet book, Ori Hofmekler addresses the millions of overweight and obese individuals who have failed or are disappointed with other diets—those who suffer from yoyo dieting, weight gain rebounds, or accumulation of stubborn fat in the belly and other estrogen-sensitive areas. Focusing on our current over-exposure to estrogenic chemicals in the environment, foods, and water, The Anti-Estrogenic Diet provides a practical solution to fat gain, estrogen-related disorders (PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic disease), and increased risk of common cancers in women and men (breast, ovarian, cervical, prostate).Allowing you to still enjoy your favorite foods, the program is based on incorporating anti-estrogenic foods, spices, and herbs into your diet, while eliminating estrogenic foods and chemicals. Exposing dietary myths and fallacies, Hofmekler teaches readers that some foods commonly regarded as “healthy” may actually be harmful and vice versa.Special chapters dedicated to readers with different needs and health conditions, recipes, a question-and-answer section, and a list of scientific references are also included in this valuable resource.
“I clothed you in purple”: The Rabbinic king-parables of the third-century Roman Empire - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract"I Clothed You in Purple"The Rabbinic King-Parables of the Third-Century Roman EmpireAlan AppelbaumMay 2007This is an analysis of comparisons the Rabbis made with kings, limited toRoman Palestine and to the ninety-year period beginning with the accession ofthe Emperor Septimius Severus in 193 C.E. and ending with the accession ofDiocletian. Based primarily on the original rabbinic texts, it also draws ontraditional Greek and Latin sources of imperial history and brings contemporarytheory to bear.A major part of the study re-examines current scholarly views aboutking-parables and finds them wanting - including the still prevalentpresupposition that "the king" is usually modeled on the emperor; the idea,recently renewed by Daniel Boyarin, that the Rabbis told the parables to makeTorah accessible to non-Rabbis; and, most important, the idea, championed byDavid Stern, that "the king," no matter what earthly ruler he is modeled on, isa stand-in for God. The study also supplements the ongoing work on king-parables being done by Clemens Thoma and his colleagues in Switzerland.As the study attends to the king-parables' form, structure, functions,settings and characters, it emphasizes the Rabbis' distinctive ideas about therelationship of humanity to God.Since the parables were produced by an intellectual elite in a countryoccupied by a world-empire, the study considers them as resistance literatureand explores what contemporary post-colonial theory and James C. Scott'swork concerning "hidden transcripts" may have to say about them.And since scholars of Roman history traditionally bemoan the paucity ofsources for the period, it poses the hypothesis that making comparisons to"kings" modeled on emperors or their representatives involves at least thinkingone knows something about them. The Rabbis' accounts of such "kings" notonly shed light on the attitudes of a group of literate citizens in a particulareastern province toward living, breathing emperors but also provideinformation about third-century imperial history, sometimes confirminggenerally accepted readings of traditional sources, sometimes supportingsources that have been regarded as questionable, and sometimes helping toresolve open issue
