Capitalism Versus Communism - Mark Hichens - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Capitalism Versus Communism - Mark Hichens - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Cold War was a series of momentous worldwide events and Capitalism Vs Communism is designed to give an introductory overview, while also providing context for more recent political moments. The conflict played out between communism and capitalism for most of the second half of the twentieth century came quickly to be termed the Cold War. The birth of communism in Europe can be traced as far back as Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto of 1848 but the ideology was first actively imposed only after the 1917 revolution in Russia under the leadership of Lenin followed by Stalin. During the Second World War, an uneasy alliance between capitalism and communism led to the defeat of Nazi Germany but with the coming of peace, that alliance was replaced by Russian domination of Eastern Europe, while China was overrun by Mao Tse-Tung’s communist forces. The Cold War began immediately after the end of WW2 when the United States sought to prevent the spread of communism. Mark Hichens has delivered a well researched, but accessible introduction to the Cold War and its lasting effects.

It’s Only a Game - Andrew Christophers - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It’s Only a Game - Andrew Christophers - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Kids’ football has a wonderfully compelling sub-culture all of its own. The grassroots of the beautiful game are where the hard yards are put in – and where the camaraderie and comic can become interchangeable. Andrew Christophers found himself on the touchline of kids’ football for 25 years. And what a journey those 25 years turned out to be. Funny at times, tragic at others, but never dull or boring. Thrilling, devastating, rewarding, demanding, and above all, just utterly compelling. This book is packed full of stories from the touchline, juxtaposing the significant with the trivial. The sense of belonging, the emotion and the over-investment. The gaffers, the players and personalities. Permission to dream vs heartache and pain. Match reporting, men behaving badly and boys on tour. This is a light-hearted read for anyone with an interest in football or team sports, at whatever level they are played. Re-live the shared values and memorable experiences, and enjoy the ups, downs and all-round entertainment – both on and off the pitch.

Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip Across Americ - James Ward - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip Across Americ - James Ward - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

“PRE- OR POST-TRUMP? It made a difference. America wasn’t the land of Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses any more. So people said. Mind you, that wasn’t just the USA. It was the whole world.” Hannah and Soraya are in the business of making rock music with a social conscience. The way Britain currently works, that means they’re ‘snowflakes’, ‘social justice warriors’, ‘virtue signallers’. They’ve learned to live with the mudslinging, but not happily. Worse than that, it’s starting to overwhelm them. Then, out of the blue, they suffer a string of personal and professional crises. Their solution? A change of scene designed to keep the lid on a looming family cataclysm and draw artistic inspiration from the pre-musical roots of rock (but without the Beats’ misogyny, plus in an eco-friendly car). Hannah and Soraya’s Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip across America is about family, friendship, human mortality, the siren call of social media, celebrity vs. anonymity, creative integrity, true love, drugs ‘n’ alcohol, literature, sexuality, the ‘special relationship’, what it means to be a millennial, what kind of world Generation Y is set to inherit, the very meaning of life itself in the 21st century. Amongst other things.

From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between - Erika K Gosi - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between - Erika K Gosi - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn’t have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn’t have to house train, obedience train or intensely socialise a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Her favourite pastime was zealously chewing Persian rugs while the living room became her personal toilet. Alternatively, when asked to sit, lie down, or come, she’d throw herself on her back in submission and refuse to move. Thunder and fireworks sent her rushing around in a mindless panic, while the sight of other dogs turned her into a screaming banshee. Does this sound familiar? Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between , a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika’s own experience to give it the personal factor. Erika’s portrayal of all things canine begins with their evolution and domestication, the fundamental processes that triggered our ongoing relationship with dogs. Additionally, the book banishes a few myths, and explores the significance of nature vs nurture, including the importance of genetics, breeding and socialisation. Understanding how our dogs think and learn, knowing the source of canine behaviour problems, including the impact of detrimental and positive training methods, we can pre-empt many behaviour problems and positively shape our dogs into happy hounds.
