Paperback. Zustand: Good. Ghost Towns of Muskoka explores the tragic history of a collection of communities from across Muskoka whose stars have long since faded. Today, these ghost towns are merely a shadow -- or spectre -- of what they once were. Some have disappeared entirely, having been swallowed by regenerating forests, while others have been reduced to foundations, forlorn buildings, and silent ruins. A few support a handful of inhabitants, but even these towns are wrapped in a ghostly shroud. But this book isn't only about communities that have died. Rather it is about communities that lived, vibrantly at that, if only for a brief time. It's about the people whose dreams for a better life these villages represented; the people who lived, loved, laboured, and ultimately died in these small wilderness settlements. And it's about an era in history, those early heady days of Muskoka settlement when the forests were flooded with loggers and land-hungry settlers.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 9", is like new. xiii/290 pages. "In "Putin's Labor Dilemma," Stephen Crowley investigates how the fear of labor protest has inhibited substantial economic transformation in Russia. Putin boasts he has the backing of workers in the country's industrial heartland, but as economic growth slows in Russia, reviving the economy will require restructuring the country's industrial landscape. At the same time, doing so threatens to generate protest and instability from a key regime constituency. However, continuing to prop up Russia's Soviet-era workplaces, writes Crowley, could lead to declining wages and economic stagnation, threatening protest and instability. Crowley explores the dynamics of a Russian labor market that generally avoids mass unemployment, the potentially explosive role of Russia's monotowns, conflicts generated by massive downsizing in "Russia's Detroit" (Tol'yatti), and the rapid politicization of the truck drivers movement. Labor protests currently show little sign of threatening Putin's hold on power, but the manner in which they are being conducted point to substantial chronic problems that will be difficult to resolve. "Putin's Labor Dilemma" demonstrates that the Russian economy must either find new sources of economic growth or face stagnation. Either scenariomarket reforms or economic stagnationraises the possibility, even probability, of destabilizing social unrest.".…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Do what thou wilt.Written in the early twentieth century,the four books contained within this collection make up one of the most complete and groundbreaking works on the practice of magick ever written. They are considered to bethe masterpiece of occultist, magician and philosopher Aleister Crowley and the core texts for the religion of Thelema. Their influence on alternative western thought and philosophy cannot be exaggerated.Also known as Book Four, or Liber ABA, the four parts bring together many rituals, received texts, theorems and unequalled insights into the practice of magick, culminating in The Book of the Law, the central, sacred text dictated to Crowley by a preternatural entity. Anyone interested in yoga, ceremonial magic, esoteric thought, invocation, divination and beyond, or those looking to delve into the fascinating, playful and illuminating writings of a unique man, will find inspiration.For the first time,one of the world's leading experts on Western esoteric traditions andmagic, Dr. Stephen Skinner, introduces the text, sharing his insights into Crowley's take on yoga, ceremonial magick and Thelema. His long involvement with magick, both as an academic and as a practitioner, enabled Dr. Skinner to highlight the differences between the psychological and thespirit-orientated approaches to magick, and to show how that dilemma shaped Crowley's practice and his founding of Thelema,enlightening the reader to many previously unknown connections.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 748 pp. Englisch.…

Inscription reads: For Doreen--With years behind us and a hope a strong and evolving friendship ever yet ahead. With love, Catherine. Professor Manegold is a member of the Carleton class of 1977; she graduated magna cum laude in three years with a B.A. in English literature and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Professor Manegold currently holds the James M. Cox Chair in Journalism at Emory University, a position she has held for six years, but for much of her professional life Professor Manegold has been a member of the fourth estate. She began her journalism career as a reporter in Maryland. In 1982 she joined the Philadelphia Enquirer and by 1986 was its Southeast Asia Bureau chief, where she covered the fall of Philippines' President Ferdinand Marcos and the civil war in Sri Lanka, among other stories. Moving on to Newsweek she covered more political history, reporting on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Gulf War. She joined The New York Times in 1992 where she covered national and international politics and wrote features for the Sunday Magazine. Manegold is a seven-time nominee for a Pulitzer Prize, and in 1994 won a Pulitzer as part of The New York Times team covering the first terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. She has also been honored with an Overseas Press Club Award for her coverage of the Gulf War. She is the author of In Glory's Shadow: Shannon Faulkner, The Citadel, and a Changing America. The byzantine world of The Citadel is fully revealed in this gripping account of Shannon Faulkner's attempt to become its first female cadet. In Glory's Shadow explores the history of a southern institution determined to preserve traditional lines of power and social influence while all around it America was changing. In 1993, Shannon -- then a high school senior -- filed suit against The Citadel, the public all-male military college in Charleston, South Carolina. She claimed that by refusing to admit her as a cadet the school was defying the Constitution. For three years an ugly battle raged: Courtroom clashes over justice, educational styles and the training of young men and women alternated with small-town pettiness, death threats and the vilest expressions of sexism and hate. Catherine S. Manegold covered the landmark battle for the New York Times; now she gives us the story behind the story. It starts in the antebellum South in 1822, when members of the white minority, terrified by the narrowly averted Denmark Vesey slave revolt, called for a citadel and hastily organized a private militia. Twenty years later that small home guard was remade into a school where white youths might gain access to a world of elegance, wealth and power. We see the school grow in size and reputation through two world wars until the last few decades, when, as America wrestled with chaotic calls to power from blacks, women, immigrants and homosexuals, The Citadel took the path the country as a whole was rejecting and proudly marched in place. The cadets clung to antique hierarchies born of slavery and war, employing careful courtesies in public while practicing archaic and often brutal rituals within their barracks. This is the world Shannon challenged. When she arrived at The Citadel's gates and was turned away because of her sex, the stage was set for conflict. We watch her struggle to a triumph that was short-lived: She won her case but left The Citadel after a single week -- three years at the center of the storm, and fear for her family's safety, finally wore her down. Manegold illuminates the course -- historical, judicial and psychological -- of Shannon's fight and uncovers a striking American drama, a clash between those who would preserve the rigid structures of the past and those trying to chart a new course in a nation remaking itself.
