The author of the e-books Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything and How to Fix Everything in America Forever explains how Americans can finally overcome the insidious legacy of the 1960s. As Frank J. Fleming reveals in this delightfully sarcastic self-help book, every American has a little hippie inside, preaching free love and poor hygiene, and keeping him from achieving his full potential. It's a relic from the 1960s, kept alive in acid flashbacks and pop culture, which affects decision-making in unconscious ways. The only solution is to punch...

A Year on Facebook: a quixotic monologue: Personal reflections on cinema, the arts, life and political philosophy
ISBN: 9781496006011 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The genesis of this book is tied to the completion of my father's book (Faking Honesty by Marduk Alkhas) sometime in June of 2012. By that time I was deeply engaged in my own personal readings on various topics such as art history and politics as a byproduct of the research I had been doing to complete the unfinished manuscript. The emotional residue that remained in the months following eventually turned into Facebook musings simply to vent my thoughts and feelings. Naively, it seemed to provide a purpose beyond casual usage: I thought provocation would spur challenges and discussions and...

Beyond Petulance is a critique of the politics of obstruction and intransigence that have become disturbing features of the political landscape of America.

The book identifies certain imperatives such as immigration reform and social justice as urgent issues to be addressed to move the country towards a viable future.

ISBN: 9781494422646 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 21st century, a new Turkey is taking shape. The democratisation process has gathered momentum. The Middle East continues to play a major role in international affairs. New alliances are formed while armed struggles and old enmities seethe above or beneath the surface. The so-called 'Arab Spring' produced revolutionary changes in some countries in the region, but on the whole, outcomes have so far been disappointing - at least to those who hoped for a brave new world of democracy and respect for human rights. This collection of essays explores some of the events and issues that affect...

How Many Is Too Many?: The Progressive Argument for Reducing Immigration Into the United States
ISBN: 9780226190655 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the stony streets of Boston to the rail lines of California, from General Relativity to Google, one of the surest truths of our history is the fact that America has been built by immigrants. The phrase itself has become a steadfast campaign line, a motto of optimism and good will, and indeed it is the rallying cry for progressives today who fight against tightening our borders. This is all well and good, Philip Cafaro thinks, for the America of the past--teeming with resources, opportunities, and wide open spaces--but America isn't as young as it used to be, and the fact of the matter is...

The Conflation: politics and politrics beyond the ecstasy
ISBN: 9781496075529 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contained interviews that I conducted over the last few years as a journalist with various people who have their own causes and reasons to make their lives meaningful. Most of them talked freely and expressed themselves with the facts that they felt important. Some of those expressions were fantasy while some of them were based on the illusion in which they were engaged. It was no surprise that many "specialists" or "experts" on the subject believed that the LTTE would never be totally defeated, and never achieve the state of Tamil Eelam. But one senior member of the TMVP, which is...
