"How many people know that Hitler was writing an opera when he lived in Vienna or how he developed his antisemitic outlook while living there? Who has ever heard about Hitler's "second book," in which he revealed his major foreign policy plans, a manuscript that remained secret? How many realize that Hitler's regime planned on replacing Christianity with its own "religion" and substituting Mein Kampf for the Bible? Why did Hitler name his regime the "Third" Reich, and why did he choose the swastika as its logo? Why did the fine arts enjoy such an honored status during the Reich? What were the lesser-known original purposes of the concentration camp system established in Germany just weeks after Hitler seized power? All these questions and many more are addressed by a WWII tour director of thirty-five years in Exposing the Reich. The book illuminates how the devastation and tragedy of the war and the concurrent genocide could happen, examining the lethal blend of inciting hatred, ongoing indoctrination, justification for drastic action and the complete control of all media"--

"This book studies the role of the development sector in eliminating extreme poverty, fast-tracking growth, and preventing conflict in a post-pandemic world. It sets out 5 changes that are needed in the development architecture to reach that last 10 per cent of the world's population living in extreme poverty. Challenging traditional ideas of development programming, the book argues for a more evidence-based approach to designing engagement strategies and creating an enabling environment that will allow the sector to move towards innovation-centric development approaches. It also makes a case for securing small but firm wins by focusing on the development challenges that can be overcome easily and cost-effectively, and waging peace with the corporate sector to enable greater reach and synchronicities Engaging, provocative and clear-sighted, the volume draws on topical case studies in democratic governance, refugee response, counterterrorism, gender mainstreaming, environmental protection and private sector engagement. It will be essential for professionals in the development sector, thinktanks and NGOs"--

A history of the British Crown honours system in the twentieth century, showing its evolution through a period of democratization and decolonization, Tobias Harper examines how governments used the honours system to shape ideologies of loyalty and service, while dissidents turned the symbolism of honours against the Crown.

Sistah Vegan is a series of narratives, critical essays, poems, and reflections from a diverse community of North American black-identified vegans. Collectively, these activists are de-colonizing their bodies and minds via whole-foods veganism. By kicking junk-food habits, the more than thirty contributors all show the way toward longer, stronger, and healthier lives. Suffering from type-2 diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, and overweight need not be the way women of color are doomed to be victimized and live out their mature lives. There are healthy alternatives. Sistah Vegan is not about preaching veganism or vegan fundamentalism. Rather, the book is about how a group of black-identified female vegans perceive nutrition, food, ecological sustainability, health and healing, animal rights, parenting, social justice, spirituality, hair care, race, gender-identification, womanism, and liberation that all go against the (refined and bleached) grain of our dysfunctional society. Thought-provoking for the identification and dismantling of environmental racism, ecological devastation, and other social injustices, Sistah Vegan is an in-your-face handbook for our time. It calls upon all of us to make radical changes for the betterment of ourselves, our planet, and-by extension-everyone
