Weeds were illegal They had evolved. Their genetic composition changed over generations and they mutated into a new, more complex species. Every plant was considered a weed including trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, fruits, vegetables and any living organism that absorbed water through it roots. Weeds were barbaric and they ruled the Earth, relegating humans to small communities in domed colonies. Piper was a pruner and his job was to control the weeds. He was thrilled to eliminate any weeds and destroy the people who possessed them. The People App was used to collect information on colonists. Any person thought or known to have weeds received a NEGATIVE review on the People App. A NEGATIVE review was a violation of the law and Piper handled lawbreakers with maximum prejudice.But what happens when he, himself, is caught with a plant, society's most deadly threat? WEEDS is a science fiction novel set in a dystopian future, perfect for fans of Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Philip K. Dick and John Collier.

The Franco Regime, 1936-1975

The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.
Spain's First Democracy

Spain's First Democracy

Stanley G. Payne

The significance of Spain's Second Republic has been largely overshadowed by the cataclysmic Civil War that immediately followed it. Stanley Payne brings his knowledge of Spanish history to bear on the five-year span of the Second Republic as an historic entity in its own right. In ""Spain's First Democracy"", he argues that the Republic was one of the major national attempts at political democratisation and reform in Europe between the World Wars and represented the most important effort to swim against the tide during Europe's era of fascism. Payne's study places the Republic within the historical framework of Spanish liberalism and the rapid modernisation of inter-war Europe, which was unlike any other period in Spain's history. Payne discusses the Republicans' efforts to establish Spain's first democratic political systems and to institute major reforms within the Republic. In highlighting reforms in politics and government, education and culture, public works, military affairs, and society as a whole, he assesses the successes and failures of these reforms as well as the reasons for their limitations. He also examines the economic and foreign policy issues of the period. Focusing particularly on political conflict and social cleavage, Payne explores the sources and character of the political polarisation that developed as a result of the assaults on the Republic from the Left and the Right. He identifies the main political actors in this schism and their role in the eventual breakdown of the Republic. Tracing the progressive collapse of the Republican polity in the first half of 1936, Payne stresses the importance of political violence in the democracy's downfall. In restoring perspectives that have been ignored or bypassed, Payne aims to present a consistent and detailed interpretation of Spain's Second Republic, demonstrating its striking parallels to the Weimar Republic in Germany.

“A History of Fascism is an invaluable sourcebook, offering a rare combination of detailed information and thoughtful analysis. It is a masterpiece of comparative history, for the comparisons enhance our understanding of each part of the whole. The term ‘fascist,’ used so freely these days as a pejorative epithet that has nearly lost its meaning, is precisely defined, carefully applied and skillfully explained. The analysis effectively restores the dimension of evil.”—Susan Zuccotti, The Nation“A magisterial, wholly accessible, engaging study. . . . Payne defines fascism as a form of ultranationalism espousing a myth of national rebirth and marked by extreme elitism, mobilization of the masses, exaltation of hierarchy and subordination, oppression of women and an embrace of violence and war as virtues.”—Publishers Weekly

This study offers treatment of all the major doctrines, personalities and defining features of the Spanish fascist movement, from its beginnings until the death of General Francisco Franco in 1977. The author describes and analyzes the development of the Falangist party both prior to and during the Spanish Civil War, presenting a detailed analysis of its transformation into the state party of the Franco regime - Falange Espanola Tradicionalista - as well as its ultimate conversion into the psuedofascist Movimiento Nacional. Particular attention is devoted to the crucial years 1939-1942, when the Falangists endeavoured to expand their influence and convert the Franco regime into a fully Fascist system.
