Free Download The lesser tragedy of death By Garc & amp;Atilde; & amp;shy;a, Cristina
2010 | 95 Pages | ISBN: 1936070014 | EPUB | 1 MB
"The highly anticipated debut poetry collection from the best-selling author of Dreaming in Cuban. In a collection of poems that is part biography, part dialogue, part history and part chorale, The Lesser Tragedy of Death aims to capture the ephemeral, brutal life of one unnamed "brother." His sister’s voice provides the narrative thrust-probing, questioning, regretful-revisiting scenes from their past and arguing with her brother over the family legacy and her complicity in his demise. What happened that led this gentle, generous boy to a world of drugs, homelessness, and crime? What upheavals, personal and political, spun their lives in such radically different directions? Who bears responsibility? The sister tries to piece together their stories from discordant shards, hearsay, speculation, witnessing. Her reports are contested by the brother, corroborated by unreliable others, undermining the nature of inquiry itself."–

English | 2002 | pages: 297 | ISBN: 0511550375, 0521806232, 0521603870 | PDF | 0,9 mb
The Middle East has changed clearly, substantially, and dramatically during the last decade. Yet scholarly and public understanding lags far behind these events. This book explains why the previous era came to end, giving an historical and political summation of the region. Three interlinked themes are crucial to the book. First, a reinterpretation of the era of upheaval the Middle East has just passed through. During that period, many Arabs believed that some leader, country, or radical movement would unite the region, solving all its problems. Second, an evaluation of how the historical experience of the period between the 1940s and the 1990s undermined the old system, making change necessary. Third, an analysis of the region today that helps explain future developments, in what the author terms the Era of Reluctant Pragmatism, as the Middle Eastern societies decide their relationships to the West.

The untold, almost unbelievable, story of the daring pilots who risked their lives in an unprecedented air race in 1919―and put American aviation on the map. Years before Charles Lindbergh’s flight from New York to Paris electrified the nation, a group of daredevil pilots, most of them veterans of the World War I, brought aviation to the masses by competing in the sensational transcontinental air race of 1919. The contest awakened Americans to the practical possibilities of flight, yet despite its significance, it has until now been all but forgotten.
