"Did you know that most of what you've seen, read, or heard about Billy the Kid is untrue? My name is Gale Cooper. I'm a medical doctor and forensic psychiatrist. My specialty is murder case consultation for the defense. For 20 years, I've used my expertise to uncover the real Billy the Kid. Researching over 40,000 pages of archival documents and books, I've written the revisionist history. It's shocking. It's liberating. And I've written books demolishing the hoaxes hijacking the history. My talks will share with you what I've found. Cover-ups, misinformation, and fakery - to use Old West lingo - will bite the dust"--

"No Moment of Victory examines NATO coalition efforts to build Afghan Army and police forces with the objective of transitioning the war to Afghan control. The NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) grew from a handful of senior officers and enlisted personnel to over 6,000 coalition members training Afghans across the country. Yet there was also a deep historical underpinning to the command's programs and processes. This book examines the influence of Cold War modernization theory on NTM-A from 2009 to 2011 and offers a cautionary account of the limits of Western military practices and culture in security force assistance"--

"This first comprehensive analysis of the Third Reich's efforts to confiscate, loot, censor and influence art begins with a brief history of the looting of artworks in Western history. The artistic backgrounds of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering are examined, along with the various Nazi art looting organizations, and Nazi endeavors to both censor and manipulate the arts for propaganda purposes. Long-held beliefs about the Nazi destruction of "degenerate art" are examined, drawing on recently developed university databases, new translations of original documents and recently discovered information. Theft and destruction of artworks by the Allies and looting by Soviet Trophy Brigades are also documented"--

"The disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was an event of obviously transnational significance-not only in the airborne particulates it deposited across the European continent, but in the political and social repercussions it set off well beyond the Soviet bloc. Focusing on the cases of Great Britain and France, this innovative study explores the discourses and narratives that arose in the wake of the incident among both state and nonstate actors. It gives a thorough account of the stereotypes, framings, and "othering" strategies that shaped Western European responses to the disaster as well as nuclear policy up to the present day"--

Nicht alle muslimischen Männer verachten Frauen, manche allerdings schon. Ayaan Hirsi Ali benennt in ihrem neuen Buch eine unbequeme Wahrheit, der wir ins Auge blicken müssen: Viele muslimische Männer haben ein radikal anderes Frauenbild, als es bei uns üblich ist. Mit der verstärkten Zuwanderung aus muslimischen Ländern nimmt die Gewalt gegen Frauen nachweislich zu, und Frauen werden dadurch in ihrer Bewegungsfreiheit immer stärker eingeschränkt. Nicht nur muslimische Frauen, sondern alle Frauen in westlichen Demokratien. Falsche Toleranz, so Hirsi Ali, hilft hier nicht weiter. Denn wir laufen Gefahr, unsere hart erkämpften Freiheitsrechte zu verlieren. Nur indem wir die Probleme klar benennen und die Bedrohung emanzipatorischer Errungenschaften durch Einwanderer aus muslimisch-arabischen Kulturkreisen anerkennen, nehmen wir Populisten den Wind aus den Segeln. Und nur dann kann Integration erfolgreich sein. Der Islam, der Westen, die Freiheit sind die Lebensthemen von Ayaan Hirsi Ali. 1969 in Somalia geboren, wurde sie als strenggläubige Muslima erzogen. Heute forscht die charismatische Freiheitskämpferin und brillante Denkerin in Stanford. Ihre Bücher ?Ich klage an?, ?Mein Leben, meine Freiheit? und zuletzt ?Reformiert euch!? wurden internationale Bestseller. (Verlagswerbung)

"COVID-19 exposed the pre-existing conditions of the current global crisis. Many Western states failed to protect their populations, while others were able to suppress the virus only with sweeping social restrictions. "The Revenge of the Real" envisions a new positive biopolitics that recognizes that governance is literally a matter of life and death. Bratton argues that instead of thinking of technology as something that happens to society, we must learn how it can create a politics of infrastructure, knowledge, and direct intervention. In this way, we can build a society based on a new rationality of inclusion, care, and prevention"--

Representing a cutting-edge study of the junction between theoretical anthropology, material culture studies, religious studies and museum anthropology, this study examines the interaction between the human and the nonhuman in a museum setting usually defined as 'non-Western', 'non-scientific' and 'religious.' Combining an on-site analysis of exhibitive spaces with archival research and interviews with museum curators, the chapters highlight contradictions of museum practices, and suggests that museum practitioners use museum spaces and artefacts as a way of formulating new theoretical stances in material culture studies, thus viewing museums as producers of theories together with affective engagements

"China's Contemporary Image and Rhetoric Practice ushers in an overview of Chinese diplomatic rhetoric, paves a way to depicting the image of China with western lens, makes a profound shift in domestic perspective of this image, and reveals new sites for Chinese rhetoric to serve as the deepening and widening topics of relevant studies of Chinese literature, Chinese discourse analysis, Chinese sociology, Chinese politics and so on. These cherry-picking chapters are at a premium and may facilitate the expanding development of Chinese studies. This book is a valuable reference for scholars, researchers and graduate or postgraduate students in Chinese linguistic and social studies"--

"Innovation studies have long been confined to the theoretical system established by the scholars of western developed countries and it's difficult to use them to understand the real nature and law of technological innovation in developing countries. This book, in an innovative manner, studies the theoretical system of secondary innovation, and reveals the evolution law and dynamic innovation mode of the re-innovation activities carried out by the technologically backward countries on the basis of the introduction of technology, laying an important foundation for the development of management science theory on the basis of the standpoint and characteristics of developing countries."
