Before the Eyes of the World: Mexico and the Olympic

Mexican leaders eagerly anticipated the attention that hosting the world’s most visible sporting event would bring,yet they could not have predicted the array of conflicts that would play out before the eyes of the world during the notorious Mexico City Olympics. Following 20 years of economic growth and political stability—known as the “Mexican miracle”—Mexican policy makers escaped their prior image of being economically underdeveloped to successfully craft an image of a nation that was both

A History of Egypt: From the Arab Conquest to the Present

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Al-Sayyid Marsot, Afaf Lutfi / Sayyid-Marsot, Afaf Lutfi / Afaf Lutfi, Al-Sayyid Marsot, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Egypt occupies a central position in the Arab world. Its borders between sand and sea have existed for millennia and yet, until , the country was ruled by foreigners. Afaf al-Sayyid Marsot explores the paradoxes of Egypt's history in a new edition of her successful A Short History of Modern Egypt. Charting the years from the Arab conquest, through the age of the Mamluks, Egypt's incorporation into the Ottoman Empire, the liberal experiment in constitutional government in the early twentieth century, followed by the Nasser and Sadat years, the new edition takes the story up to the present day. During the Mubarak era, Egyptians have seen major changes with the rise of globalization and its effects on their economy, the advent of new political parties, the entrenchment of Islamic fundamentalism and the consequent changing attitudes to women. This short history is ideal for students and travelers.

The Conquest of Bread: 150 Years of Agribusiness in California Hardcover by Richard Walker

CAN DELIVER IF LOCAL Good condition copy of The Conquest of Bread: 150 Years of Agribusiness in California Hardcover – 1 Oct by Richard Walker "he Conquest of Bread will make compelling reading for anyone interested in California and its history, the history of agriculture, or simply how society works. For Walker, the answers are not to be found in the intersects of supply and demand curves and neo-liberal theory, supposedly applicable to every time and place, but rather in how particular classes, groups, and social forces have come together over the last 150 years to produce California agribusiness, a social phenomenon as staggering in its success and productivity as it is in its levels of human exploitation and environmental degradation."

  Rare 'Conquest of the Empire' Board Game -

I am selling a rare 'Conquest of the Empire' board game, which was created in by MB Game Master.   This has been in the family since new so is quite old but has hardly been used. The box itself is a little knocked round the edges but still in reasonable condition. The game has all the parts included, and I have counted to make sure.  The only thing is that one of the green boats as snapped in two.  I could have glued together but thought better left for now, but it can be fixed. The Game Play Manual and other papers in the box are in very condition as you can see from the photograph, and there is a tear to the underneath of the game board but again rest of it is in excellent condition. Happy Bidding!

The Conquest of the Reich: D-Day to Ve Day--A Soldiers'

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neillands, Robin, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, The defeat of Nazi Germany in the words of those who were there. New Year's Day was not a day for rest or rejoicing on the embattled continent of Europe. Hard winter gripped the land, from the Channel coast to the distant Urals. Only the thought of victory warmed the frozen soldiers huddled in tanks and foxholes as the New Year dawned and they faced the prospect of battling onwards toward Berlin. This is the story of the last five months of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich, from New Year's Day to VE Day, May . It is a story told not in the words of historians or scholars, but in the words of the people who lived through it, who fought and endured: soldier and civilian, American infantryman and British paratrooper, Canadian gunner and Australian pilot, New Zealand POW and German civilian. With his unrivalled gift for popular history, Robin Neillands, in his follow-up to the enormously successful "D-Day ," recreates in engaging narrative fashion the most dramatic and bloody months of the war. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, letters, and inside eyewitness testimony from veterans about such subjects as the esprit de corps in the Allied and Axis armies, the discovery of the concentration camps, the dissension in the Allied command, and the meeting of Russians and Americans at the Elbe, the book recounts the effects of many of the most crucial events of the conflict on soldier and citizen alike. The Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of Auschwitz, the Malmedy Massacres, the fall of Warsaw to the Red Army, the destruction of Dresden, the lynching of Allied aircrews, Yalta, Hitler's Scorched Earth directive, the massive parachutes drops by the Allied forces, the death of Roosevelt, the last days of Hitler, and, finally, the surrender of Germany--it's all here, rendered in engrossing and rich detail in this example of military history at its finest. For a comprehensive and thrilling account of the end of World War II, The Conquest of the Reich will stand as the definitive people's history for years to come.

The Conquest of Cool: Business Culture,Counterculture,and

While the youth counterculture remains the most evocative and best-remembered symbol of the cultural ferment of the s,the revolution that shook American business during those boom years has gone largely unremarked. In this fascinating and revealing study,Thomas Frank shows how the youthful revolutionaries were joined--and even anticipated --by such unlikely allies as the advertising industry and the men's clothing business. [Thomas Frank is] perhaps the most provocative young cultural cri
