Michael Engelhard, "Ice Bear: The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 0295999225 | 304 pages | EPUB | 10.6 MB
Prime Arctic predator and nomad of the sea ice and tundra, the polar bear endures as a source of wonder, terror, and fascination. Humans have seen it as spirit guide and fanged enemy, as trade good and moral metaphor, as food source and symbol of ecological crisis. Eight thousand years of artifacts attest to its charisma, and to the fraught relationships between our two species. In the White Bear, we acknowledge the magic of wildness: it is both genuinely itself and a screen for our imagination.

Yonatan L. Morse, "How Autocrats Compete: Parties, Patrons, and Unfair Elections in Africa"
English | ISBN: 1108474764 | 2019 | 352 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Most autocrats now hold unfair elections, yet how they compete in them and manipulate them differs greatly. How Autocrats Compete advances a theory that explains variation in electoral authoritarian competition. Using case studies of Tanzania, Cameroon, and Kenya, along with broader comparisons from Africa, it finds that the kind of relationships autocrats foster with supporters and external actors matters greatly during elections. When autocrats can depend on credible ruling parties that provide elites with a level playing field and commit to wider constituencies, they are more certain in their own support and can compete in elections with less manipulation. Shelter from international pressure further helps autocrats deploy a wider range of coercive tools when necessary. Combining in-depth field research, within-case statistics, and cross-regional comparisons, Morse fills a gap in the literature by focusing on important variation in authoritarian institution building and international patronage. Understanding how autocrats compete sheds light on the comparative resilience and durability of modern authoritarianism.

Qualifying as a doctorat the tender age of nineteen, John Polidori was employed less than a year later by the poet, Lord Byron, as his travelling physician. In His Master's Reflection;, the authors followPolidori's footsteps as he accompanies Byron through Europe to Switzerland.Fuelled byfriends, Byron finally releases Polidori from his contract, leaving the penniless medic to wander over the Alps on foot to Italy. Unable to establishhimself as a doctor to the expatriate community, he admits defeat and returns to England.Still harbouring literary ambitions, his one chance at fame is cruelly denied when The Vampyre;, the story he wrotein Geneva, is attributed to Byron. Gossip and retelling of events have cast Polidori in the role of a petulant plagiarist. The authors showthat the handsome Polidori was more than just his master's reflection.
