DOWNLOAD EBOOKA former Texas businessman, Lionel Hunt, flees the United States to escape conviction. He finds the easy road to wealth selling self-distilled whiskey to Saudi royal family members. Among his business contacts, he is introduced to the Saudi Arabian Minister of Intelligence, Prince Mohammad al Rashid. After the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Hunt finds himself in an excruciating predicament: incarcerated in an Arab prison near one of the world's harshest deserts. At the same time in Afghanistan, CIA Non-official Cover (NOC), Kurt Valdez, hunts top Al Qaeda leaders. After 9-11, he is assigned to find the co-conspirators of Osama bin Laden, including members of the Saudi royal family and Pakistani intelligence service (ISI). During his quest, Valdez crosses paths with a former Russian general turned arms dealer known as 'Rhino', whom he comes to believe has sold nuclear weapons to al Qaeda. Filled with breathtaking turns of plot, Valdez finally joins forces with Prince al Rashid and Lionel Hunt to try to stop the terrorists. They intend to destroy the Saudi's prolific eastern oil facilities, the jugular and lifeblood of the world's economies. Hunt's expertise in the oil industry earns him a pardon and makes him invaluable to the joint efforts. The final mind-bending sequences will leave readers shocked and worried. Not only is the work timely and informative, it illuminates the most daunting challenges for political, intelligence, and military leaders in this era of dwindling oil supplies and Arab revolutionary movements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1748, as yellow fever raged in Charleston, South Carolina, doctor John Lining remarked, "There is something very singular in the constitution of the Negroes, which renders them not liable to this fever." Lining's comments presaged ideas about blackness that would endure in medical discourses and beyond. In this fascinating medical history, Rana A. Hogarth examines the creation and circulation of medical ideas about blackness in the Atlantic World during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. She shows how white physicians deployed blackness as a medically significant marker of difference and used medical knowledge to improve plantation labor efficiency, safeguard colonial and civic interests, and enhance control over black bodies during the era of slavery. Hogarth refigures Atlantic slave societies as medical frontiers of knowledge production on the topic of racial difference. Rather than looking to their counterparts in Europe who collected and dissected bodies to gain knowledge about race, white physicians in Atlantic slaveholding regions created and tested ideas about race based on the contexts in which they lived and practiced. What emerges in sharp relief is the ways in which blackness was reified in medical discourses and used to perpetuate notions of white supremacy.
A Political Education

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2012, Chicago's school year began with the city's first teachers' strike in a quarter century and ended with the largest mass closure of public schools in U.S. history. On one side, a union leader and veteran black woman educator drew upon organizing strategies from black and Latinx communities to demand increased school resources. On the other side, the mayor, backed by the Obama administration, argued that only corporate-style education reform could set the struggling school system aright. The stark differences in positions resonated nationally, challenging the long-standing alliance between teachers' unions and the Democratic Party. Elizabeth Todd-Breland recovers the hidden history underlying this battle. She tells the story of black education reformers' community-based strategies to improve education beginning during the 1960s, as support for desegregation transformed into community control, experimental schooling models that pre-dated charter schools, and black teachers' challenges to a newly assertive teachers' union. This book reveals how these strategies collided with the burgeoning neoliberal educational apparatus during the late twentieth century, laying bare ruptures and enduring tensions between the politics of black achievement, urban inequality, and U.S. democracy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWE (Black Men) were all equal leaders that day of the original Million Man March. It was a significant moment in African American history, a “Missing Moment.” History has shown us time and time again that true change engages momentum when we experience a “defining moment.” As we continue to embrace the “defining moment” changes are destined to occur without much additional effort and progress will be realized. It is at this time we can look back and call the change that occurred as a defining moment, a pivotal moment, “Black October - The Missing Moment”.

ISBN-13: 0393531775
DOWNLOAD EBOOKUntil now, the single most important unpublished work by C.G. Jung—The Black Books. In 1913, C.G. Jung started a unique self- experiment that he called his “confrontation with the unconscious”: an engagement with his fantasies in a waking state, which he charted in a series of notebooks referred to as The Black Books. These intimate writings shed light on the further elaboration of Jung’s personal cosmology and his attempts to embody insights from his self- investigation into his life and personal relationships. The Red Book drew on material recorded from 1913 to 1916, but Jung actively kept the notebooks for many more decades. Presented in a magnificent, seven-volume boxed collection featuring a revelatory essay by noted Jung scholar Sonu Shamdasani—illuminated by a selection of Jung’s vibrant visual works—and both translated and facsimile versions of each notebook, The Black Books offer a unique portal into Jung’s mind and the origins of analytical psychology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe classic, New York Times-bestselling book on the psychology of racism that shows us how to talk about race in America. Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? How can we get past our reluctance to discuss racial issues? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about communicating across racial and ethnic divides and pursuing antiracism. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand dynamics of race and racial inequality in America.
