Command and Control - Eric Schlosser - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Command and Control - Eric Schlosser - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Command and Control interweaves the minute-by-minute story of an accident at a missile silo in rural Arkansas, where a single crew struggled to prevent the explosion of the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States, with a historical narrative that spans more than fifty years. It depicts the urgent effort to ensure that nuclear weapons can''t be stolen, sabotaged, used without permission, or detonated inadvertently. Schlosser also looks at the Cold War from a new perspective, offering history from the ground up, telling the stories of bomber pilots, missile commanders, maintenance crews, and other ordinary servicemen who risked their lives to avert a nuclear holocaust. Drawing on recently declassified documents and interviews with men who designed and routinely handled nuclear weapons, Command and Control takes readers into a terrifying but fascinating world that, until now, has been largely hidden from view.

Ground Control - Anna Minton - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ground Control - Anna Minton - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In Ground Control Anna Minton reveals the untested - and unwanted - urban planning that is changing not only our cities, but the nature of public space, of citizenship and of trust. Britain''s streets have been transformed by the construction of new property - but it''s owned by private corporations, designed for profit and watched over by CCTV. Have these gleaming business districts, mega malls and gated developments led to ''regeneration'', or have they intensified social divisions and made us more fearful of each other?Now with a new chapter on the 2012 London Olympic legacy and Britain''s housing collapse, Anna Minton''s acclaimed and passionate polemic shows us the face of Britain today.''They sold our streets and nobody noticed ... timely and powerful ... revelatory'' Observer ''A sustained, informed, articulate, timely work of rage ... Anna Minton has put her finger on one of the most profound and disturbing shifts in modern British cities'' Evening Standard ''A damning study of how Britain is curbing freedoms ... Minton is a brilliant journalist ... a vital book'' Daily Telegraph ''Eye-opening, unsettling ... A wonderful, timely analysis that reveals another, more sinister side to "gentrification"'' Financial Times

Society Must Be Defended - Michel Foucault - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Society Must Be Defended - Michel Foucault - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Foucault must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists, and political activists'' The New York Times Book Review Society Must Be Defended is Michel Foucault''s devastating critique of the systems of power and control inherent in civilization. Taken from a series of lectures given by Foucault at the Collége de France in 1975-76, it reveals how war is the foundation of all power relations, and politics ultimately a continuation of battlefield violence. He offers a politically charged re-reading of history, with examples ranging from the Trojan myth to Nazi Germany, to show a continual, ''silent war'' between the powerful and the powerless.''A timely and prescient book, mainly because of what it says about the way in which war is necessary as a means of control'' New Statesman Translated by David Macey

Ejaculate Responsibly - Gabrielle Blair - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ejaculate Responsibly - Gabrielle Blair - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Men are responsible for all unwanted pregnancies. Why? Ovulation is involuntary. Ejaculation is not. It is also true that... - Men are 50 times more fertile than women- Birth control is hard to access, use, and comes with numerous side effects- Vasectomies are less risky than tubal litigations Yet, it''s women who are expected to do the work of pregnancy prevention. Why must women be responsible for men''s bodies, as well as their own? Rather than endlessly exploring how and why we control women''s bodies in the highly polarised anti-abortion and pro-choice ''debate'', Ejaculate Responsibly makes a witty and unflinching case for why men must be held accountable for their reproductive choices. There are zero consequences for men who ejaculate irresponsibly. It''s time to shift the responsibility - and burden - of pregnancy prevention onto men.

The Uncomfortable Truth - Anna Mathur - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Uncomfortable Truth - Anna Mathur - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Gently challenging, deeply empowering,'' Julia Samuel, Sunday Times bestselling author of This Too Shall Pass "Some people don’t like me” “Bad things will happen to people I love” “I’m going to fail” … these words underpinned my anxieties and nightmares. I bet they feature in yours too. Our fears are anchored in the unavoidable truths of life; all things reach an end, bad things happen, and we lack the control we crave. As an experienced psychotherapist, who’s had years of therapy, I realised that ploughing endless energy into trying to control the uncontrollable is keeping us all tired, wired, and worried. Ignoring fears doesn’t make them less true, it makes them more powerful. I decided to try a different tact and it changed my world. Instead of doing everything I could to ease and avoid life’s uncomfortable truths, I sought a deeper acceptance of them. Through using this approach, my clients and I discovered that fear began to loosen its grip. We were living more intentionally and peacefully. So, face your fears one chapter at a time, and discover who you are without worry, doubt and people-pleasing holding you back.
