DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe think we know the story of women's suffrage in the United States: women met at Seneca Falls, marched in Washington, D.C., and demanded the vote until they won it with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. But the fight for women's voting rights extended far beyond these familiar scenes. From social clubs in New York's Chinatown to conferences for Native American rights, and in African American newspapers and pamphlets demanding equality for Spanish-speaking New Mexicans, a diverse cadre of extraordinary women struggled to build a movement that would truly include all women, regardless of race or national origin. In Recasting the Vote, Cathleen D. Cahill tells the powerful stories of a multiracial group of activists who propelled the national suffrage movement toward a more inclusive vision of equal rights. Cahill reveals a new cast of heroines largely ignored in earlier suffrage histories: Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Zitkala-Ša), Laura Cornelius Kellogg, Carrie Williams Clifford, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, and Adelina "Nina" Luna Otero-Warren. With these feminists of color in the foreground, Cahill recasts the suffrage movement as an unfinished struggle that extended beyond the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. As we celebrate the centennial of a great triumph for the women's movement, Cahill's powerful history reminds us of the work that remains.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2001, the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament adopted the so-called First Railway Package. Comprising three Directives, this was intended to open up the rail freight market to competition and help to improve rail's share of the overall freight market. However, in 2006 the Commission published a report concluding that the implementation of the Package was inadequate and has committed itself to recasting the Package. In this report, the Committee looks at which elements of the Package need amending and which need clarification. The report recommends the Commission use the recast to require the full separation of railway infrastructure managers from rail train operators. Full separation is the surest way to remove market distortions and to create the conditions necessary for increased rail freight. The recast of the Package should include more detailed provisions about the powers and remits of regulators, which should be independent of government. The Committee recommends that the Commission does not propose establishing an EU-level regulator. Charges levied for use of rail infrastructure and access to rail-related services such as sidings, marshalling yards and fuelling stations vary across Europe and this has hindered growth. The report recommends that the Commission include in the recast mandatory definitions of which costs can and cannot be included in infrastructure charges. The Committee supports recasting the Package, believing the aim of an open and competitive rail market can be achieved and international rail freight can be encouraged further.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlato's Utopia Recast is an illuminating reappraisal of Plato's later works, which reveals radical changes in his ethical and political theory. Christopher Bobonich argues that in these works Plato both rethinks and revises important positions which he held in his better-known earlier works such as the Republic and the Phaedo. Bobonich analyses Plato's shift from a deeply pessimistic view of non-philosophers in the Republic, where he held that only philosophers were capable of virtue and happiness, to his far more optimistic position in the Laws, where he holds that the constitution and laws of his ideal city of Magnesia would allow all citizens to achieve a truly good life. Bobonich sheds light on how this and other highly significant changes in Plato's views are grounded in changes in his psychology and epistemology. This book will change our understanding of Plato. His controversial moral and political theory, so influential in Western thought, will henceforth be seen ina new light.
