A "pioneering and fundamental" (Timothy Snyder) new history of Ukraine from one of its leading public intellectuals. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the world witnessed the "creative, freewheeling, darkly humorous, and deeply resilient society" that is contemporary Ukraine. In this timely and original history, a bestseller in Ukraine, the historian Yaroslav Hrytsak tells the sweeping story of his nation through a meticulous examination of the major events, conflicts, and developments that have shaped it over the course of centuries. Hrytsak weaves a rich and detailed tapestry of a country in continual transformation. Ukraine is essential listening for anyone who wants to better understand Ukraine’s dramatic past and its global significance-from the 17th-century Cossack uprising to the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and Ukrainian independence, and from the evolution of the Ukrainian language to the warning signs that anticipated Russia’s 2022 invasion. This book is the definitive story of Ukraine and its people, as told by one of its most celebrated voices.

The telegraph and the telephone were the first electrical communications networks to become hallmarks of modernity. Yet they were not initially expected to achieve universal accessibility.

John demonstrates how access to these networks was determined not only by technological imperatives and economic incentives but also by political decision making at the federal, state, and municipal levels.

For years we’ve been told that, thanks to their high saturated fat content, the foods for which evolution has adapted us – grass-fed meat, grass-fed dairy products, eggs from hens running on pasture – are unhealthy. In their place we eat processed factory foods – and we’ve witnessed a growing epidemic of disease, from type-2 diabetes to heart disease and cancer.

Free Download Philip Taubman, David Colacci (Narrator), "In the Nation’s Service: The Life and Times of George P. Shultz"
English | ASIN: B0CQZ5GWRZ | 2024 | M4B@64 kbps | ~18:11:00 | 528 MB
Deftly solving critical but intractable national and global problems was the leitmotif of George Pratt Shultz’s life. No one at the highest levels of the United States government did it better or with greater consequence in the last half of the twentieth century, often against withering resistance. While political, social, and cultural dynamics have changed profoundly since Shultz served at the commanding heights of American power in the 1970s and 1980s, his legacy and the lessons of his career have even greater meaning now that the Shultz brand of conservatism has been almost erased in the modern Republican Party.
This book, from longtime New York Times Washington reporter Philip Taubman, restores the modest Shultz to his central place in American history. Taubman reveals Shultz’s gift for forging relationships with people and then harnessing the rapport to address national and international challenges, under his motto "trust is the coin of the realm"-as well as his difficulty standing up for his principles. Based on exclusive access to Shultz’s personal papers, housed in a sealed archive at the Hoover Institution, In the Nation’s Service offers a remarkable insider account of the behind-the-scenes struggles of the statesman who played a pivotal role in unwinding the Cold War.
