Allen Dieterich-Ward, "Beyond Rust: Metropolitan Pittsburgh and the Fate of Industrial America "
English | ISBN: 0812247671 | 2015 | 360 pages | PDF | 33 MB
Beyond Rust chronicles the rise, fall, and rebirth of metropolitan Pittsburgh, an industrial region that once formed the heart of the world's steel production and is now touted as a model for reviving other hard-hit cities of the Rust Belt. Writing in clear and engaging prose, historian and area native Allen Dieterich-Ward provides a new model for a truly metropolitan history that integrates the urban core with its regional hinterland of satellite cities, white-collar suburbs, mill towns, and rural mining areas.

The Tragic Mind: Fear, Fate, and the Burden of Power (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BGT3SV86 | 2023 | 4 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 234 MB
Author: Robert D. Kaplan
Narrator: John Chancer
A moving meditation on recent geopolitical crises, viewed through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy. Some books emerge from a lifetime of hard-won knowledge. Robert D. Kaplan has learned, from a career spent reporting on wars, revolutions, and international politics in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, that the essence of geopolitics is tragedy. In The Tragic Mind, he employs the works of ancient Greek dramatists, Shakespeare, German philosophers, and the modern classics to explore the central subjects of international politics: order, disorder, rebellion, ambition, loyalty to family and state, violence, and the mistakes of power. The great dilemmas of international politics, he argues, are not posed by good versus evil-a clear and easy choice-but by contests of good versus good, where the choices are often searing, incompatible, and fraught with consequences. A deeply learned and deeply felt meditation on the importance of lived experience in conducting international relations, this is a book for everyone who wants a profound understanding of the tragic politics of our time.

Nicholas M. O'Donnell, "A Tragic Fate: Law and Ethics in the Battle Over Nazi-Looted Art"
English | ISBN: 1634257332 | 2017 | 400 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
The organized theft of fine art by Nazi Germany has captivated worldwide attention in the last twenty years. As much as any other topic arising out of World War Two, stolen art has proven to be an issue that simply will not go away. Newly found works of art pit survivors and their heirs against museums, foreign nations, and even their own family members. These stories are enduring because they speak to one of the core tragedies of the Nazi era: how a nation at the pinnacle of fine art and culture spawned a legalized culture of theft and plunder.

Author: Peter Oborne | Narrator: Jamie Parker
For more than a generation, the idea that the end of the Cold War would be succeeded by a new conflict-between Islam and the West-has dominated. At first, with the events of 9/11, this thesis seemed prophetic, but as Peter Oborne shows in his remarkable and important new book, The Fate of Abraham, it could not be more wrong and it continues to cause huge damage around the world, with disastrous consequences.
