Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945 Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=B0078XFTHG This award-winning history examines the politics of progress in America through a close look at industrial development in Appalachia since WWII.Appalachia has played a complex role in the unfolding of American history. Early-twentieth-century critics of modernity saw the region as a remnant of frontier life that should be preserved and protected. However, supporters of material production and technology decried what they saw as a the isolation and backwardness of the region and sought to &#8220uplift&#8221 its people through education and industrialization.In Uneven Ground, Ronald D. Eller examines the politics of development in Appalachia while exploring the idea of progress as it has evolved in America. &#8220Passionate, clear, concise, and at times profound,&#8221 this volume demonstrates that Appalachia's struggle to overcome poverty, to live in harmony with the land, and to respect the value of community is a truly American story (Chad Berry, author of Southern Migrants,

The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=154164753X The New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Trump explains the decline and fall of the once cherished idea of American citizenship.Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the &#8220citizen&#8221 is historically rare&#8212and was among America&#8217s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the historical forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class over the last fifty years has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined the idea of allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective civic sense of self. And a top-heavy administrative state has endangered personal liberty, along with formal efforts to weaken the Constitution.As in the revolutionary years of 1848, 1917,

Anaximander: And the Birth of Science Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=0593542363 The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics illuminates the nature of science through&nbspthe&nbsprevolutionary&nbspideas of&nbspthe Greek philosopher Anaximander Over two millennia ago, the prescient insights of Anaximander paved the way for&nbspcosmology, physics, geography, meteorology, and biology, setting in motion a new way of seeing the world. His legacy includes&nbspthe revolutionary ideas&nbspthat the Earth floats in a void,&nbspthat animals evolved, that the world can be understood in&nbspnatural rather than supernatural terms, and that universal laws govern all phenomena. He&nbspintroduced a new mode of rational thinking&nbspwith an openness to uncertainty and the progress of knowledge. &nbsp In this elegant work, the renowned theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli brings to light the importance of Anaximander&#8217s overlooked&nbspinfluence on modern science. He examines Anaximander not from the point of view of a historian or as an expert in Greek philosophy,

Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=0062993151 The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power.What makes &#8220cults&#8221 so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we&#8217re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join&#8212and more importantly, stay in&#8212extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell&#8217s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . .Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of &#8220brainwashing.&#8221 But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing

Stoicism for Inner Peace Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=B08ZFN55GN The ancient Stoics were deeply concerned with the virtue of equanimity. Equanimity or &#8216inner peace&#8217 is a prerequisite for being a happy and flourishing person according to Stoic philosophy. Therefore, it&#8217s no surprise that ancient Stoic texts contain invaluable wisdom on how to calm the mind. The challenge, however, is to find and translate this wisdom in a way that&#8217s simple and comprehensible in our modern context, while still maintaining its profundity. Einzelg&#228nger studied the ancient Stoic texts and has been creating a (growing) collection of essays on applying Stoic philosophy in everyday life.Most of these essays have been published on YouTube in video format. Due to their popularity, Einzelg&#228nger decided to revise a selection of these essays on Stoicism and inner peace, and release them in book format. Not only have all the texts been re-edited and improved, many of them have been extended, and two unreleased pieces about &#8216loneliness&#8217 and

The Absent Superpower: The Shale Revolution and a World Without America Read now : https://penikmatkopidipagihari.blogspot.com/?time=B076BT18RD The world is changing in ways most of us find incomprehensible. Terrorism spills out of the Middle East into Europe. Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and Japan vie to see who can be most aggressive. Financial breakdown in Asia and Europe guts growth, challenging hard-won political stability. Yet, for the Americans, these changes are fantastic. Alone among the world's powers, only the United States is geographically wealthy, demographically robust, and energy secure. That last piece - American energy security - is rapidly emerging as the most critical piece of the global picture. The American shale revolution does more than sever the largest of the remaining ties that bind America's fate to the wider world. It re-industrializes the United States, accelerates the global order's breakdown, and triggers a series of wide ranging military conflicts that will shape the next two decades. The common theme? Just as the global economy tips into chaos, just as global energy becomes dangerous,
