Titres dans XXIe siècle

Student resistance in the first decade of the 21st century was the single most powerful liberating force around the globe during those years. Challenging governments-in a few cases, overturning governments - at a time when representational democracies appeared weak and authoritarian regimes were on the rise. In Student Resistance in the Age of Chaos, Book 1, Mark Boren goes continent by continent, country by country, to show us the contours of the new frontlines of resistance, the sacrifices that were made, the seismic changes caused by the internet, and more.

Russia and China are both believed to have a "grand strategy" - a detailed set of goals backed by expansive ambitions. In the United States, policy makers have tried to articulate similar plans but have failed to reach a widespread consensus since the Cold War ended. Drawing on historical precedents and weighing issues such as Russia's resurgence, China's great rise, North Korea's nuclear machinations, and Middle-East turmoil, Michael O'Hanlon presents a well-researched, ethically sound, and politically viable vision for American national security policy.

What a ride 2020 has been. We all know of the chaos and difficulty that it brought. But in every tragedy, there is some silver lining, a station that seems like the end of the road that turns out to be only a pit stop on the way. So, perhaps we can start to look for ours. Because 2020 may have been a year of hardship and tragedy, but it’s also been a year of growth, of learning, and of coming together to be the best we have ever been - not only for ourselves, but for the good of our families, our communities, our countries, and our world.

The 2020 Presidential Election is undoubtedly, the most important election of the century. Amid an onslought of senseless killings among unarmed African Americans by vigilante civilians and trigger-happy police and a pandemic which unveiled an enormous disparity in health care for African Americans, the country is being led by an incumbent Commander in Chief who appears “unbothered” by it all. In November, America is tasked with choosing its next leader - one who will be charged with salvaging what’s left of its democracy.

In 2008, three years after Hurricane Katrina cut a deadly path along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, researchers J. Steven Picou and Keith Nicholls conducted a survey of the survivors in Louisiana and Mississippi, receiving more than 2500 responses, and followed up two years later with more than 500 of the initial respondents. Showcasing these landmark findings, Caught in the Path of Katrina: A Survey of the Hurricane's Human Effects yields a more complete understanding of the traumas endured as a result of the Storm of the Century.

I wrote a book on Nine-Eleven, but it's just a little book. If I could tell you anything about the events of September 11th, 2001, it would be in this audiobook. The basic information in this audiobook is enough to warrant a new investigation, in my opinion. Still, this is only a small part of the real battle we face each and every day. What is Truth? Jesus Christ is truth. Nine-Eleven is just another attack by evil forces who seek to rule this world. For a short time evil will reign, but only until Christ returns.

Entre abril y julio de 1994, cerca de 800 mil personas de la etnia Tutsi fueron asesinadas en el país africano.

The Fleet Street Girls is the inspiring story of the female journalists who broke down barriers in the 1970s as women arrived on Fleet Street for the first time. Julie Welch was the first ever female football reporter. To achieve this role at the Observer, she had to battle the National Union of Journalists nearly calling a strike when she dared to write an article as a mere secretary; an entire room of men falling silent to listen to her give her first football report over the phone, before pronouncing it passable; and many other battles in-between.

His point of view is unique as he is able both to understand the motivations of 21st-century humans and explain them to 29th-century humans.

En högsommardag i början på juli 1973 försvann en 39-årig tvåbarnsmamma spårlöst från sitt hem i Trollbäcken - en villaförort ett par mil söder om Stockholm. En dryg månad senare anträffades hon mördad och nedgrävd i ett grustag tre mil från hemmet. Ett par veckor senare kunde gärningsmannen gripas, främst tack vare en överväldigande teknisk bevisning. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall. Nordisk Kriminalkrönika är ett historiskt verk.
