Grazing America: Iconic foods from cities across the country
Mark D. Donnelly
Rock / Paper / Safety Scissors
2023
nidottu
Coast to Coast, we are a nation of local tastes and conspicuous calories. From Rochester, New York's Garbage Plate and Detroit, Michigan's Boogaloo sandwich, to Hawaii's Spam Musubi and Biloxi, Mississippi's Koolickles, our regional foods in the United States are deeply embedded into our local culinary consciousness. These hometown delicacies are a marriage of cultures, subtleties of tradition, local ingredients, and, above all, community. These morsels of scale-tipping pride are equal parts civic symbols, edible tourist attractions, and cultural obsessions. This book features the birthplace of many of the foods we love. Some seemingly strange combinations are hard to get your head around until you take your first bite. Please note: none of them will make you skinny.These recipes, which I've been collecting for decades from many long-lost sources, are an homage to our immense bounty of our great country's uber-local foods and a great excuse to putter in the kitchen.

The Lunatic Diaries: Random Notes From BizComics
Mark Nelson O'Brien

In June of 2015, a conversation took place between Mark Nelson O'Brien and Nate Fakes that would change the course of world history. Well ... maybe not the history of the whole world. But it would certainly change the lives and the histories of the two chuckleheads who participated in the conversation. Here's the entirety of that conversation, transcribed for posterity, enshrined in the Library of Congress, and buried in a time capsule in Mildew, Alabama, to be disinterred at the point (in history, of course) at which someone down there discovers (or re-invents) the shovel: Nate: "Hi, Mark. It's Nate." Mark: "Hi, Nate." Nate: "Do you know cartoons can be used for marketing?" Mark: "The thought had crossed my mind." Nate: "Why don't we create a business to use cartoons in marketing?" Mark: "You mean like BizComics?" Nate: "Like what?" Mark: "Never mind." The rest, as they say, is history ... but not necessarily world history. From that day forward, the tireless protagonists went dutifully and diligently about the business of marketing BizComics. They wrote (to date) almost 100 blog posts, every one of which was accompanied (or inspired) by an original cartoon. They sent emails to a large and growing list of people and companies every two weeks. We got a little interest from Costco (they picked up one cartoon for their Facebook page). They sent two proposals to Baker & Taylor (the book distributor), for the purpose of reviving the two cats (named Baker and Taylor) immortalized by Jan Louch in her book, The True Tails of Baker and Taylor. They created exhaustive lists of industries, identified people at companies within each of them, and called or emailed all of them. Their efforts earned them one case of carpal tunnel syndrome and two cauliflower ears - gave them the opportunity to learn some very valuable lessons. They learned to believe in their talents. They learned to believe in the creative quality and caliber of their work. They learned to believe in their aptitudes to create a supply of exceptional and differentiating ideas and content. They learned to believe in and rely on each other. They learned - and came to fully appreciate - this wisdom from Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1841 essay, "Self-Reliance" "To believe our own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men - that is genius ... A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within ... Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his ... Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility - then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another." They don't mean to suggest they're geniuses, by any stretch. (Their spouses will vouch for that.) And they're not presumptuous enough to consider the work they produced for BizComics to be art. But because both of them tend to break out in hives when they take our own opinions from others, it seemed prudent and sensible to them to publish their work before someone else ... uh ... liberated it, so to speak. This book manifests their determination to share, as Emerson put it, what they have thought and felt. It reflects the ways in which they see the world. They hope it compels you to think in ways other than the ways in which you'd be otherwise inclined or prompted to think. And they hope it makes you smile.

Voice of Hermes - Lessons from the Path is an anthology of writings reflecting over thirty years of experience in spiritual and psychological practice. Focusing on the practical, as well as often impractical ideals of spirituality in the modern world, Mark Stavish takes his readers through the mountains and valleys of daily life. Topics include dynamic discussions of the problems of evil, our motivation for the journey, the role of teachers, how to recognize that our path is no longer our own, why our personal happiness matters (and may be the only thing that matters), and when to leave spirituality behind. This is an exciting look at the hard learned lessons of life from a master writer and skilled spiritual teacher. This book is destined to become a classic.
Unassailable: Protect Yourself from Deplatform Attacks, Cancel Culture & other Online Disasters
Mark E. Jeftovic
Axisofeasy Media
2020
nidottu
We live in an age of cancel-culture run rampant, where those who don't agree with your opinions eschew civilized debate and instead opt to mobilize flash-mobs seeking to deplatform you, your content or your business. When even the president of the United States isn't immune from deplatform attacks, it tells us that somebody needed to write a book like "Unassailable". In his second book, internet industry veteran and naming expert Mark E. Jeftovic describes an overarching strategy that minimizes your attack surface against online censorship and helps you come back stronger and louder from takedowns. The first part of the book examines the history, philosophy and the ethos behind culture wars, free speech and battles for narrative control. Then in part 2 the reader is stepped through every component of their online infrastructure, from web hosting, to email delivery, to video hosting, to payment gateways in order to make sure you have as much control over your own online destiny as is technologically possible.All content creators need to read this book. Even if you think nothing you say is controversial or would run afoul of allowable opinion, the internet mob can turn on you in an instant. Be ready.
Norman Geras’s Political Thought from Marxism to Human Rights
Mark Cowling
Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
nidottu
This book provides a critical account of the main controversies involving Norman Geras, one of the key modern political thinkers. It moves from his youthful Trotskyism on to his book on Rosa Luxemburg, then his classic account of Marx and human nature, and his highly regarded discussion of Marx and justice. Following this, Geras tried to elaborate a Marxist theory of justice, which involved taking on-board aspects of liberalism. Next he attacked the post modernism of Laclau and Mouffe and criticised Rorty’s pragmatism, and then elaborated a contract of mutual indifference from a detailed study of the Holocaust. Lastly he wrote a book on human rights and humanitarian intervention, defending the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Cowling varies from exposition and admiration, to ideas about how Geras’s work should be interpreted, to criticism of his Trotskyism and of his support for the invasion of Iraq. The book will appeal to readers interested in Norman Geras and Marxism in particular, and socialand political theory in general.
A History of Spy Ballooning from 1783 to the Present
Mark Fenemore
Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
Spanning the technological innovations and improvements in balloon technology since its invention in 1783, this book explores the concept of ‘spy ballooning’ throughout multiple conflicts in modern history: the wars following the French revolution, the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Cold War. The military and intelligence capabilities of balloons have a long and chequered history. From the 1790s, balloons have been used for military reconnaissance. The first bombing run using balloons came in Venice in 1849. Later, balloons were also used for espionage and propaganda. Like their British counterparts who undermined the Central Powers in the First World War, US cold warriors blanketed Eastern Europe with leaflets calling for liberation from communism. Visionaries have frequently recognized the military advantages that balloons can bring. But their cumbersome fragility has also repeatedly led to scepticism, on the part of commanders, as to their benefits. This book is the first to systematically analyse the use of spy balloons for military and intelligence purposes. It demonstrates the versatility and importance, but also the limitations and pitfalls, of this scopic technology, over time and up until the present. The author makes connections between balloon technology during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, touching on more recent events such as the 2023 Chinese spy balloon scare in the USA, and the collapse of Israel’s border defences against Hamas.
The Belgian Army and Society from Independence to the Great War
Mario Draper
Springer International Publishing AG
2018
sidottu
This book explores Belgian state-building through the prism of its army from independence to the First World War. It argues that party-politics, which often ran along geographical, linguistic, and religious lines, prevented both Flemings and Walloons from reconciling their regional identities into a unified concept of Belgian nationalism. Equally, it obstructed the army from satisfactorily preparing to uphold Belgium’s imposed neutrality before 1914. Situated uneasily between the two powerhouses of nineteenth-century Europe, Belgium offers a unique insight into the concepts of citizenship and militarisation in a divided society in the era of fervent nationalism. By examining the composition, experience, and image of the army’s officer corps and rank and file, as well as those of the auxiliary forces, this book shows that although military and civilian society often stood aloof from one another, the army, as a national institution, offered a fleeting glimpse into the dichotomy thatwas pre-war Belgium.

From Republic to Empire challenges the long-held view that Silius Italicus’ Punica is a nostalgic epic and argues that it is, instead, centrally concerned with and fundamentally shaped by the contemporary Flavian world in which it was composed. The epic documents how Rome’s Republic took its first steps toward becoming an Empire during the Second Punic War and identifies the leader Scipio Africanus as the critical impetus behind this development: his rise to prominence in the war’s later stages brings about a change in Rome’s power-structure, a shift toward one-man rule, Scipio’s «rule», that prefigures and paves the way for the political arrangement under which the poet himself lived, the Principate. In portraying Scipio as a good king and a virtuous princeps, Silius, furthermore, offers the emperor of his own day, Domitian, a leadership-ideal to aspire to and emulate.
