Gücünü Yitiren Kral - Pakize Özcan ücretsiz kitap indir

刘 婧 _311 — Most people read this in college. That's cause most people got a real degree. I got a theater degree. So the last time I read about revolutionary history was in high school. Which reminds me. Why do schools make history seem so boring? I felt like Ellis let them off easy on the slavery issue. I know, I know. Its a complicated issue -- there was no right answer, every decision was hard, etc. etc. But other than that a throughly engrossing look into some of the nations brightest, most complicated, sometimes petty and throughly dasterdly, most important minds. And I thought things didn't get interesting until the Civil War.

Faik Oruçoğlu faikoruogl584f — Sequel to Geography of Nowhere. This book isn't as good as the first, but is worth reading if you liked Geography of Nowhere. It covers some of the same topics and branches out into examples of New Urbanism, a movement in architecture, urban planning, and landscape planning that at least attempts to be pedestrian and environment-friendly.

Greg Stewart _nno_esigns — With the U.S. beginning to enforce a "no-fly zone" over Libya and the Egyptians voting on a new constitution and authoritarian regimes cracking down in Bahrain and Yemen, could a book be any more timely? Inside the Kingdom offers a vital context for what is appearing on CNN almost nightly. Inside the Kingdom tells the story of the evolution of the modern Saudi Arabia. Lacey starts with a pivotal moment in Saudi history, the 1978 occupation of the Grand Mosque in Mecca by a group of fundamentalist Muslim youth seeking to bring about a Godly revolution. The occupation of the Mosque was put down quickly and brutally, but the aftermath reshaped the religious landscape. In response to the attack, the House of Saud, the royal rulers of the country, forged a intimate tie with the conservative religious leaders and offered social "reforms" that meant a retooling of the public school system to focus on religious instruction. And therein lies the tension. A royal, ruling family with an autocratic hold on the country, who nonetheless is often a significant force for moderate reform, teamed with a theocratic, fundamentalist extreme that by and large dictates the day to day life of the people. It is this tension that gave rise to terrorist groups like Al-Queda, to which Lacey devotes a good third of the book. And through it all is the "special friendship" that the House of Saud has with the U.S. It's a delicate--and fascinating--balancing act. And one that has profound implications for the revolutions occurring in many Middle Eastern countries at this moment. I recommend it for anyone seeking a better understanding of that region at this crucial moment in time.
