"This wordless picture book follows a pencil from its origins as a tree in a forest to a factory, an art supply store, and the imagination of a young artist who uses it to draw a story."--
"If you only read one book to understand how Democrats will, and should, pick a new nomineeand the stakes of the general electionread Picking Presidents, which explains how to judge if a Presidential candidate is worthy of sitting in the Oval Office."Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing an objective and tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualifiedand ultimately reviledJames Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job? Autorid: Gautam Mukunda

The enormous success of writers such as Teju Cole and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie demonstrates that African literatures are now an international phenomenon. But the apparent global legibility of a small number of (mostly Anglophone) writers in the diaspora raises the question of how literary producers from the continent, both past and present, have situated their work in relation to the world and the kinds of material networks to which this corresponds. This collection shows how literatures from across the African continent engage with conceptualizations of 'the world' in relation to local social and political issues. Focusing on a wide variety of geographic, historical and linguistic contexts, the essays in this volume seek answers to the following questions: What are the topographies of 'the world' in different literary texts and traditions? What are that world's limits, boundaries and possibilities? How do literary modes and forms such as realism, narrative poetry or the political essay affect the presentation of worldliness? What are the material networks of circulation that allow African literatures to become world literature? African literatures, it emerges, do important theoretical work that speaks to the very core of world literary studies today.

Marioupol, Odessa, Kherson¿ des villes dont les noms retentissent en ces heures tragiques où la guerre fait rage en Ukraine. Elles furent fondées par Catherine la Grande dont les troupes conquirent ces régions méridionales, européennes, sur les Ottomans vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle. La création de nouveaux pôles urbains faisait partie de la machinerie publicitaire de cette souveraine d'origine allemande, dont la conception « géopolitique » demeura indifférente à la condition du peuple, le sien comme celui des minorités incorporées dans l'immense empire suite à ses guerres. Seule la grandeur de la Russie lui importait, comme le prouvent ses écrits autobiographiques, éléments de propagande touchant à la politique, la diplomatie, la religion, le Droit ou la culture. La place de Catherine dans l'histoire croisée de la Russie et de l'Europe demeure encore de nos jours un sujet de discorde. Sa mort en 1796 scella pourtant la fin d'une époque ; elle personnifia l'autocratie, comme le prouve son ¿uvre littéraire, et laissa des marques considérables, peu contestées en son temps comme l'annexion de la Crimée, dans cette Russie des Lumières qui atteignit son apogée sous son règne.
Immediately after the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, NATO members unanimously voted their support for the United States under Article V of the Washington Treaty. This unprecedented action, the first time such a vote has occurred in NATO's history, underscores the vitality of the Atlantic Alliance and its tremendous strategic value for its members. This vote conferred great legitimacy upon any response that the United States will make to those attacks and reminded us that the solidity of NATO allows the United States to defend its interests on the world stage with great confidence about European security. Nevertheless, the Alliance is not a wholly untroubled or static relationship. In the first half of 2001, there were numerous public signs of stress among the allies as they faced new challenges. Many of the issues involved in these tensions are particularly important to the future of European security and must be resolved for NATO to move forward...
