This audiobook delivers the fascinating account of one Western family’s time living and working in China. Told through a series of letters, China from the Inside: Letters from an Economist presents insights into the society and economy of a country that is often opaque to outsiders and poorly understood.

Radical feminist author Andrea Dworkin was a caricature of misandrist extremism in the popular imagination and a polarizing figure within the women's movement, infamous for her antipornography stance and her role in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s. Last Days at Hot Slit brings together selections from Dworkin's work, both fiction and nonfiction, with the aim of putting the contentious positions she's best known for in dialogue with her literary oeuvre. It includes “Goodbye to All This” (1983), a scathing chapter from an unpublished manuscript.

The appearance of a hastily constructed barbed wire entanglement through the heart of Berlin during the night of 12-13 August 1961 was both dramatic and unexpected. Within days, it had started to metamorphose into a structure that would come to symbolise the brutal insanity of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall. A city of almost four million was cut ruthlessly in two, unleashing a potentially catastrophic East-West crisis and plunging the entire world for the first time into the fear of imminent missile-borne apocalypse.

新年度を迎え、またネットではPTA周りの問題が騒がれる時期となった。毎年この時期は、新委員の選出が行われる。特に1年生の保護者は、まだ活動内容も勝手もわからないうちから委員選出に巻き込まれるわけで、なかなかしんどい話である。 娘が入学した中学校では例年、入学式に出席した保護者を、式典終了後に体育館に残して、そこで委員の選出を行なう。委員が決まらないと、体育館から出られないし帰れないという。PTAの委員決めの伝説は数々聞いてきたが、これはかなりの強行派だと言える。 そもそも任意団体であるPTAの委員を決めるのに、全員を体育館に軟禁することは違法である。いやその前に、入会の同意を取らないこと自体、憲法第21条に謳われた「結社の自由」に反する。憲法第21条の1には、以下のように書かれている。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

以前、新潟県青少年健全育成県民大会というのに呼ばれて、青少年のつながり依存について講演してきた。この講演を最初にやったのは、今年1月の内閣府主催「青少年のインターネット利用環境づくりフォーラム」だったのだが、これがなかなか評判がよく、いろんなところからあの講演をやってくれと依頼が来るようになった。もう今回で4回目ぐらいである。さてこの青少年健全育成県民大会というのは、現役の保護者やPTAではなく、いわゆる「なんとか育成会」クラスの方々が集まる会のようで、全体的に年齢層が高かった。育成会にはいろんなパターンがあるのだが、一般的には元PTA役員などが、すでに子供は大きくなって学校から離れてしまったけど、地域の有識者として学校や子供達に貢献したいという主旨で集まったものであることが多い。さらにスポーツの振興会とかと一緒になったりするケースもあって、本当に色々である。（本文より） 小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

Cincuenta años después de su publicación, Muerte y vida de las grandes ciudades es, según el New York Times, «probablemente la obra más influyente en la historia de la planificación urbana». Jane Jacobs, columnista y crítica de arquitectura en Nueva York de principios de los años sesenta, afirmaba que la diversidad y la vitalidad de las ciudades estaban siendo destruidas por algunos arquitectos y urbanistas muy influyentes.  

Liberals know they’re within reach of radically transforming America. They don’t like the US Constitution. They’re allergic to Americans’ “gun culture”. They find our faith and our devotion to family distasteful. And our commitment to liberty positively sends them into a panic. As soon as the Democrats get power anywhere, they stand ready to throw our God-given rights under the bus of political correctness, transgender insanity, and socialism (the economic system that always promises equality and utopia, but somehow always delivers resentment, poverty, and decay).

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake large enough to knock the earth from its axis sent a massive tsunami speeding toward the Japanese coast and the aging and vulnerable Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power reactors. Over the following weeks, the world watched in horror as a natural disaster became a man-made catastrophe: fail-safes failed, cooling systems shut down, nuclear rods melted.

The Occupy movement and the protests that inspired it have focused new attention on the work of Mahatma Gandhi, who set out principles of nonviolent resistance during the struggle for Indian Independence, principles that found their echo in Tahrir Square, Puerta del Sol and Zuccotti Park some half a century later.

In Does Capitalism Have a Future?, a global quintet of distinguished scholars cut their way through to the question of whether our capitalist system can survive in the medium run. Despite the current gloom, conventional wisdom still assumes that there is no real alternative to capitalism. The authors argue that this generalization is a mistaken outgrowth of the optimistic nineteenth-century claim that human history ascends through stages to an enlightened equilibrium of liberal capitalism.

Donald Trump claims that his success as a "self-made" businessman and real estate developer proves that he will make an effective president, but this devastating investigative account by legendary reporter Wayne Barrett proves otherwise. Back in print for the first time in years, Barrett's seminal book reveals how Trump put together the biggest deal of his life - Trump Tower - through manipulation and deceit; how he worked with questionable characters from the mafia and city politics; and how it all nearly came crashing down.

When John Dewey died in 1952, he was memorialized as America's most famous philosopher, revered by liberal educators and deplored by conservatives, but universally acknowledged as his country's intellectual voice. Many things conspired to give Dewey an extraordinary intellectual eminence: He was immensely long-lived and immensely prolific; he died in his 93rd year, and his intellectual productivity hardly slackened until his 80s.

The death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945 sent shock waves around the world. His lifelong physician swore that the president had always been a picture of health. Later, in 1970, Roosevelt's cardiologist admitted he had been suffering from uncontrolled hypertension and that his death from a cerebral hemorrhage was a cataclysmic event waiting to happen.

One of the most profound studies of warfare ever written, The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China presents us with an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting one's opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of force - an approach very different from that stressed in the West, where the advantages of brute strength have overshadowed more subtle methods.
