Foods That Changed History
Authors: Cumo Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Serving students and general readers alike, this encyclopedia addresses the myriad and profound ways foods have shaped the world we inhabit, from prehistory to the present.
Written with the needs of students in mind, Foods That Changed History: How Foods Shaped Civilization from the Ancient World to the Present presents nearly 100 entries on foods that have shaped history—fascinating topics that are rarely addressed in detail in traditional history texts.

The entries document how the consumption of tea and spices fostered global exploration, and how citrus fruits led to the prevention of scurvy. This book helps students acquire fundamental information about the role of foods in shaping world history, and it promotes critical thinking about that topic.

Lanza’s Mob
Authors: DiEdoardo Christina Ann-Marie 
Published: November 2023

Presenting sociological as well as historical perspectives, this book supplies readers with a fascinating, unprecedented look at the most successful organized-crime family they’ve probably never heard of.
From the 1920s until the early 21st century, one Sicilian mob family defied everyone from the California attorney general to J. Edgar Hoover to chart their own American Dream. Unlike their flashier rivals in New York and Chicago who met their end by the knife, the bullet, or a judge’s gavel, this crime family prospered and grew alongside their adopted home of San Francisco. This book tells how they did it.
Readers will learn how the Lanzas managed to retain control of their patch from the end of Prohibition through the Summer of Love and into the beginnings of the dot-com era, gaining insight into not only what the west-coast branch of the Mob did, but also why they did it. The documentation of how this mostly unknown crime syndicate formed, evolved, and eventually folded is set against the backdrop of the city of San Francisco transforming itself from a gritty port and manufacturing hub dominated by Italian- and Irish-Americans into the multicultural intellectual and services capital it is today.

Authors: Cline Lawrence E.

Central Africa’s ethnic, religious, and political tensions are examined, as is the corruption that feeds LRA operations.

The Myth of Fair and Efficient Government
Authors: Marlow Michael L. 
Published: November 2023

A fascinating exposé explaining why the government we have bears so little relation to the government we want—and why the recent expansion of government programs will only exacerbate the problem.
Idealized views of government lead to bitterly unhappy citizens posits The Myth of Fair and Efficient Government: Why the Government You Want Is Not the One You Get. In fact, Michael L. Marlow says, government is the last place to look for efficiency. It is, rather, private markets that naturally drive toward efficient outcomes and it is unreasonable to expect governments to mimic those effects.
This idea will startle many readers, especially given the widespread belief that private markets caused the current economic problems. The author's intention is to awaken readers to the invalidity of that assumption, to make us "pause before calling upon the government to somehow be efficient and fair in responding to the supposed collapse of private markets." To that end, this book demonstrates why romantic views of government promote a less efficient economy; why so many government programs are inefficient in practice; and why a more limited role for government is critical to reviving trust in our institutions.
The Nanny Time Bomb
Authors: Burke Jacalyn S. 
Published: November 2023

From your baby’s perspective, choosing the right nanny is probably the most important decision a parent can ever make: this book is about making the best possible choice.
Coming home to an abused, badly injured, or even deceased child is a parent’s most horrific, unimaginable scenario. And yet it happens: In 2012, two small children died while in the care of a nanny. The Nanny Time Bomb is the most accurate and comprehensive analysis of the current crisis in child care, offering case studies and practical advice to help parents make the most educated, well-informed decision when choosing a nanny for their child. The book takes the reader through various types of nannies—from graduates to undocumented workers—thus allowing parents to see how the industry has evolved far past schoolgirl babysitters.
Setting itself apart, Jacalyn S. Burke’s exploration of the different types of nannies offers a new perspective on child care not only for parents but also for those interested in larger sociological trends. This book gives a voice to the often-unheard grievances of nannies, showing why they may snap; explaining how to prevent tragedies; and describing how parenting has evolved. The author's examination of current cultural and social trends will be useful for a wide readership beyond parents.
The New Heroines
Authors: Wright Katheryn 
Published: November 2023

This book explores how the next generation of teen and young adult heroines in popular culture are creating a new feminist ideal for the 21st century.
Representations of a teenage girl who is unique or special occur again and again in coming-of-age stories.

In addition, the author offers a comparative analysis between the "New Woman" figure from the late 19th and early 20th century and the New Heroine in the 21st century. Readers will understand how representations of teenage girls in fiction and nonfiction are positioned as heroic because of their ability to find out about themselves by connecting with other people, their environment, and technology.

БАСПА КҤНТІЗБЕСІ ЖӘНЕ ӘДЕБИЕТ: ДОГМАТТАН ОКСИМОРОНҒА ДЕЙІН
Authors: Костюхина М.С. 
Published: November 2023

Печатный календарь сообщает не только информацию о времени и хронологии, но также транслирует идеологические догматы и политические доктрины. Этим отличались как календари царского времени, так и календарные издания советской эпохи. Даты календаря обслуживала календарная литература, говорившая с читателем на языке газетных клише и политических шаблонов. Несмотря на то, что календарь служил рупором государственной власти, он воспринимался как гарант естественного хода жизни, не подвластного произволу и диктатуре. Современные российские писатели и публицисты (Л.С. Рубинштейн, Д.Л. Быков), обращаются к формату календаря, чтобы выразить личный взгляд на историю страны. В результате происходит деконструкция официального календаря и связанной с ним идеологической картины мира. Ключевые слова: история календаря, время и идеология, советские календарные издания, российские писатели и публицисты (Л.С. Рубинштейн, Д.Л. Быков), деконструкция официального календаря.
Басып шығарылған күнтізбе уақыт пен хронология туралы ақпаратты ғана емес, сонымен қатар идеологиялық догмалар мен саяси ілімдерді де таратады. Бұл патша дәуірінің күнтізбелерімен де, кеңес дәуірінің күнтізбелік басылымдарымен де ерекшеленді. Күн- тізбелік күндер оқырманмен газет клишелері мен саяси шаблондар тілінде сӛйлейтін күнтізбелік әдебиеттер болды. Күнтізбе мемлекеттік биліктің таратушысы болғанына қара- мастан, ол озбырлық пен диктатураға бағынбайтын ӛмірдің табиғи барысының кепілі ретінде қабылданды. Қазіргі орыс жазушылары мен публицистері (Л.С. Рубинштейн, Д.Л. Быков), ел тарихына жеке кӛзқарасын білдіру үшін күнтізбе форматына жүгінеді. Нәтижесінде ресми күнтізбе мен онымен байланысты әлемнің идеологиялық кӛрінісінің құрылымы бұзылады. Тҥйінді сӛздер: күнтізбе тарихы, уақыты мен идеологиясы, кеңестік күнтізбелік басылымдар, орыс жазушылары мен публицистері (Л.С. Рубинштейн, Д.Л. Быков), ресми күнтізбенің құрылымын бұзу.
The printed calendar communicates not only information about time and chronology, but also broadcasts ideological dogmas and political doctrines. This distinguished both the calendars of the tsarist period and the calendar publications of the Soviet era. Calendar dates were served by calendar literature, which spoke to the reader in the language of newspaper clichés and political templates. Despite the fact that the calendar served as a mouthpiece of state power, it was perceived as a guarantor of the natural course of life, not subject to arbitrariness and dictatorship. Contemporary Russian writers and publicists (L.S. Rubinstein, D.L. Bykov), turn to the format of the calendar to express their personal view of the country's history. As a result, the official calendar and the ideological picture of the world associated with it are deconstructed. Keywords: history of the calendar, time and ideology, Soviet calendar publications, Russian writers and publicists (L.S. Rubinstein, D.L. Bykov), deconstruction of the official calendar.
