Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An avowed republican investigates the unexpected durability and potential benefits of constitutional monarchies.When he was deposed in Egypt in 1952, King Farouk predicted that there would be five monarchs left at the end of the century: the kings of hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades, and England. To date, his prediction has proved wrong, and while the twentieth century saw the collapse of monarchies across Europe, many democratic societies have retained them.God Save the Queen is the first book to look at constitutional monarchies globally, and is particularly relevant given the pro-democracy movement in Thailand and recent scandals around the British and Spanish royal families. Is monarchy merely a feudal relic that should be abolished, or does the division between ceremonial and actual power act as a brake on authoritarian politicians And what is the role of monarchy in the independent countries of the Commonwealth that have retained the Queen as head of state This book suggests that monarchy deserves neither the adulation of the right nor the dismissal of the left. In an era of autocratic populism, does constitutional monarchy provide some safeguards against the megalomania of political leaders Is a President Boris potentially more dangerous than a Prime Minister Boris. …

Naomi Klein, author of This Changes EverythingThe tech elite have a plan to survive the apocalypse: they want to leave us all behind.When Douglas Rushkoff was summoned to the desert to a private talk for the rich and powerful, he learned about 'The Mindset': a theory that inevitable societal catastrophe can be evaded by individuals with enough money and the right technology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Following her 'dazzling' (The Guardian) debut, The Animators, Kayla Rae Whitaker tells the sweeping story of one Southern family's rise and fall throughout the 1980s, a tragicomic tour de force about love and marriage, parents and children, and the promise and limitations of the American Dream. Baker-Taylor's is a family business. Fran (née Baker) and Fred Taylor run a successful chain of discount retail stores in Kentucky and they're cautiously expanding: Ataris and Hot Wheels, new branches and new management. With four healthy children and financial stability their own parents could have only dreamed of, Fred and Fran are the American dream: rags to riches, a family dynasty built on years of hard work and long hours. Underneath the surface, however, the business is changing at a breakneck pace, and each family member is struggling to keep up.Money is transforming Fred, and the extremes to which he will go to fit in with the high society crowd are embarrassing, if not downright dangerous. Oldest son Josiah wants nothing to do with the family business, Sam is seeing things that might not really be there, and Benny and Birdie are growing up with a fraction of the parenting that their older brothers did. Meanwhile, Fran, her family's stable core, is falling for Wendy, a cashier at Baker- Taylor's, risking everything along the way.While trying to maintain the facade of a perfect success story, Fred and Fran discover that in matters of love and money, once it's gone, it's gone - no returns, no exchanges.Petersen Buchimport GmbH, Weidestraße 122 a, 22083 Hamburg 432 pp. Englisch.…
