Mathew J. Bartkowiak, "The MC5 and Social Change: A Study in Rock and Revolution"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0786440376 | PDF | pages: 213 | 20.3 mb
The MC5's 1969 live album Kick Out the Jams was a new measure of the relationship between music and cultural and political change. As the "house band" and central organizing force for the White Panther Party, which advocated an end to capitalism and supported the Black Panther Party's initiatives and aims, the MC5 formalized the threat, promise, and parity of music within larger societal spheres. Using the band's career as a case study in evaluating the relationship between rock music and social change, this book examines how the inherent rebelliousness of rock afforded both media producers and consumers a safe space in which to question social mores and ideas.

Marc Sageman, "The London Bombings"
English | ISBN: 0812251180 | 2019 | 312 pages | EPUB | 408 KB
On July 7, 2005, at the end of the morning rush hour, three near-simultaneous explosions tore apart the London Underground. Within an hour, the entire subway network was evacuated, and a fourth explosion in a bus underscored that this was a terrorist operation. The bombings shattered the British counterterrorism services' assumptions about the global neojihadi threat to Britain. Authorities pondered whether al Qaeda was a loose coalition with no clear leadership or a highly structured group with international reach that posed a clear threat to the United Kingdom. These two perspectives are not just academic disputes but raise important issues with real consequences in terms of counterterrorism strategy. What sorts of distinct measures are needed to combat these opposing forms of terrorism? What can we learn from the ways in which the London terror attacks were planned and executed-and from Britain's response?

English | ISBN: 1735566799 | 2021 | 214 pages | EPUB | 1248 KB
One of the most important Korean cultural concepts, jeong is a deep and meaningful connection that can be felt between people, places, and things. It goes deeper than love and friendship, and grows stronger with time. In South Korea, jeong encourages generosity, empathy and the cultivation of lasting bonds. In The Little Book of Jeong, Charlotte shares how jeong changed her own trajectory in life, landing her a job opportunity in Seoul and giving her the fuel she and her husband, Dave, needed to launch a ground-breaking digital skin care platform and skin care line. A personal story that centers around the deep bond she built with Korea, Charlotte reveals how practicing Simple Acts of Jeong can radically change our relationships, and challenges us to cultivate jeong in our own lives.
