Alex Mackinnon, Barnaby Powell - China Counting, H ow the West Was Lost (2009).jpg

Sarmatian - Alex Mackinnon, Barnaby Powell - China Counting, How the West Was Lost 2009.jpg
China is now the global counting house, trading Western debt and cashing Western obligations – financially, socially and diplomatically. By 'buying' its own democratic electorate with easy credit, the West has ceded power to the Chinese.

China's primary goal, however, is internal stability and external security, aiming neither for international dominance nor military confrontation. Its governing Party has a national mandate – of, by and for the people – a main street mandate for a resurgent China.

Mackinnon and Powell show how China is determining its destiny. This book interprets China's policy of gradual global expansion and the alternatives it offers to open capitalism and liberal democracy. It sifts constants from variables to reveal a China positioning itself for recognition as an equal.

Vinay Rai, William Simo - Think India, The Rise of the World's Next Superpower and What It Means for Every American (2007).jpg

Sarmatian - Vinay Rai, William Simo - Think India, The Rise of the...t Superpower and What It Means for Every American 2007.jpg
With 1.1 billion residents, the world’s largest democracy is poised to dominate the world stage. One of India’s wealthiest men gives an insider’s view into his country’s dynamic transformation, revealing the forces and unique characteristics behind India’s meteoric rise.

The buzzword of the twenty-first century is India—and it’s not just a story of software, outsourcing, and faraway call centers. With the economy soaring at 8 percent a year, India is a medical and pharmaceutical frontrunner, an R&D powerhouse, a rising manufacturing hub, and an up-and-coming cultural trendsetter in areas from fashion to film. And the world is taking note: Western companies from Lockheed Martin to McDonald’s are moving in, Ford is setting up factories, Coca Cola is heading to the countryside in rickshaws, and research centers for Fortune 500 companies are popping up everywhere. Meanwhile, the U.S. military is forging close ties, as India has become a key strategic partner.

Steel tycoon turned educator Vinay Rai, who now runs one of India’s two private universities— with fifteen campuses nationwide—couples with geopolitical writer Melissa Rossi to map out the rising new India. This colorful, lively, forward-looking account of India’s stunning world debut is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand India’s new muscle on the global stage.

• One out of every six people in the world lives in India.
• India’s top trading partner is the United States.
• India is:
The fastest-growing free market economy
The world’s top destination for retailers
The world’s youngest workforce (over 500 millionunder age twenty-five)

Thomas L. Friedman - The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Understanding Globalization (1999).jpg

Sarmatian - Thomas L. Friedman - The Lexus and the Olive Tree, Understanding Globalization 1999.jpg
Friedman, the well-traveled New York Times foreign-affairs columnist, peppers The Lexus and the Olive Tree with stories that illustrate his central theme: that globalization--the Lexus--is the central organizing principle of the post-cold war world, even though many individuals and nations resist by holding onto what has traditionally mattered to them--the olive tree.
Problem is, few of us understand what exactly globalization means. As Friedman sees it, the concept, at first glance, is all about American hegemony, about Disneyfication of all corners of the earth. But the reality, thank goodness, is far more complex than that, involving international relations, global markets, and the rise of the power of individuals (Bill Gates, Osama Bin Laden) relative to the power of nations.

Sarmatian - Alan W. Cafruny - Ruined Fortress, Neoliberal Hegemony and Transformation in Europe 2003.jpeg
Arguing convincingly that mainstream theory lacks the tools to adequately explain European integration, this challenging book draws upon critical political economic theory to develop a more comprehensive and consistent analysis of the processes of integration. Although not claiming that states have ceded their role as _masters of the treaties,_ the contributors develop innovative case studies of national and transnational processes to illustrate the salience of trans-European business networks and the primacy of neoliberalism as central organizing concepts of the post-Maastricht European project.

Phillip Brown - The Global Auction, The Broken Pro mises of Education, Jobs, and Incomes (2010).jpg

Sarmatian - Phillip Brown - The Global Auction, The Broken Promises of Education, Jobs, and Incomes 2010.jpg
For decades, the idea that more education will lead to greater individual and national prosperity has been a cornerstone of developed economies. Indeed, it is almost universally believed that college diplomas give Americans and Europeans a competitive advantage in the global knowledge wars.
Challenging this conventional wisdom, The Global Auction forces us to reconsider our deeply held and mistaken views about how the global economy really works and how to thrive in it. Drawing on cutting-edge research based on a major international study, the authors show that the competition for good, middle-class jobs is now a worldwide competition--an auction for cut-priced brainpower--fueled by an explosion of higher education across the world. They highlight a fundamental power shift in favor of corporate bosses and emerging economies such as China and India, a change that is driving the new global high-skill, low-wage workforce. Fighting for a dwindling supply of good jobs will compel the middle classes to devote more time, money, and effort to set themselves apart in a bare-knuckle competition that will leave many disappointed. The authors urge a new conversation about the kind of society we want to live in and about the kind of global economy that can benefit workers, but without condemning millions in emerging economies to a life of poverty.
The Global Auction is a radical rethinking of the ideas that stand at the heart of the American Dream. It offers a timely exposé of the realities of the global struggle for middle class jobs, a competition that threatens the livelihoods of millions of American and European workers and their families.

Robert I. Frost - After the Deluge, Poland-Lithuan ia and the Second Northern War, 1655-1660 (1993).jpg

Sarmatian - Robert I. Frost - After the Deluge, Poland-Lithuania and the Second Northern War, 1655-1660 1993.jpg
The Swedish invasion of 1655, known to Poles ever since as the 'Swedish deluge', provoked the political and military collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the second-largest state in Europe. Robert Frost examines the reasons for Poland's fall and the conduct of the war by the Polish government, and addresses the crucial question of why, despite widespread recognition of the shortcomings of the political system, subsequent attempts at reform failed. War has long been seen as crucial to the development of more effective systems of government in Europe during the seventeenth century, but studies usually concentrate on states which responded successfully to the challenges. Much can be learned from those that failed, and the paucity of English-language material on this important conflict means that After the Deluge will appeal to a broad audience among historians of Poland, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, and early modern Europe in general.

Sarmatian - Karen Barkey, Mark Von Hagen - After Empire, Multiethn...n And The Russian, Ottoman, And Habsburg Empires 1997.jpg
The Soviet Union was hardly the first large, continuous, land-based, multinational empire to collapse in modern times. The USSR itself was, ironically, the direct result of one such demise, that of imperial Russia, which in turn was but one of several other such empires that did not survive the stresses of the times: the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the Habsburgs and the Ottoman Empire.

Panzerwrecks 11 - Lee Archer - Normandy 2 (2011).jpg

Sarmatian - Panzerwrecks 11 - Lee Archer - Normandy 2 2011.jpg
The latest title in this expanding series is sub-titled: Normandy 2, as it continues extensive coverage of Panzer wrecks located in the Norman countryside after the great Allied invasion and break-out of the summer of 1944. The publishers have also changed this issues format somewhat, by providing panoramic images on the inner front and back covers, as fold-out panels. This allows the viewing of greater detail in each image, while keeping them as large as possible.

The book starts out, like others in the series, with a brief bit of text, which puts this volume in context with the rest of the series. The text also acknowledges the small army of researchers and enthusiasts who have made contributions to the content between the covers. Then, its on to the reason we all show up for the party: the photos!

The front inner fold-out opens with a familiar image of a Pz.Kpfw.IV and an Sd.Kfz.251 mounting the remnants of a 2cm KwK and MG34 taken from an SdKfz.222. Then, the reader is treated to17 pages of walk-around images depicting Pz.Kpfw.IVs in the field and at a collection point. These images are remarkable for the details they show of war-time AFVs; it is as if the photographer had modelers in mind when he made his exposures 66 years ago! These are followed by ten pages of photos depicting various SP guns (Marder III Ausf.M, StuG.III Ausf.G and 4.7cm PaK on Renault R35 chassis), and several more pages showing various armored and un-armored half-tracks. More images follow showing Pz.Kpfw.IVs, a StuG.IV and various Tiger IIs with early (so-called Porsche) turret. The next group of images show various Tiger Is, including an interesting sequence of one of these behemoths being loaded onto an unidentified flat-bed trailer.

Eight more pages cover a Bergepanther, complete with 2.Panzer-Division trident insignia; details of the winch compartment are shown in several photos. More SP guns (Marder III Ausf.M, Bison Ausf.H, Flakpanzer 38(t) and PaK40 on Hotchkiss chassis), a Beobachtungspanzer III, Sd.Kfz.9s, and two interesting close-ups of a Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.F, are followed by two panoramic images of a scrap-yard with all manner of AFVs scattered about (including those of the Allies). Individual vehicles in this group are detailed to include Marder IIIs and a Goliath demolition vehicle (is that a VW Beetle at far left in the photo on page 68?). Five pages follow covering derelict Panthers, followed by ten pages covering various Sd.Kfz.234/2 Puma armored cars. Then, a photo of a German Panhard 178, is followed by several images depicting an armored (ex-French) Unic-Kegresse that mounts a 2cm FlaK38 behind an improvised shield. Various armored FlaK halftracks (Sd.Kfz.7 and 10) then follow, accompanied by two pages detailing the Radschlepper Ost wheeled tractor. An armored Panzerwerfer (Mule), a few shots of a Panther (including some internal stuff) is followed by an image of an Sd.Kfz.231 and finally, the inner fold-out, which shows another panoramic view of a vehicle scrap-yard.

Panzerwrecks 11 - Lee Archer - Normandy 2 (2011).pdf

In typical fashion, the images have been teased-out using computer software in order to show certain details, to include markings. The reproductive quality is, overall, excellent, especially considering that some images were not the best to begin with. Captions are often extensive and always quite informative, while also keeping to the Panzerwrecks tradition of including some light-hearted observations. In addition, the original captions, made by the persons on the spot all those years ago, are also included, where appropriate.

Altogether, this latest volume continues the quality trend started several years ago when this series began. There is much of interest to those enamored of late war German AFVs, while those who have a specific interest in the Normandy campaign, will not be disappointed. Fans of this series will certainly wish to add this new volume to their reference libraries, while those modelers who have never availed themselves of this outstanding resource, may wish to start here.

Leonard Brown - John Coltrane and Black America's Quest for Freedom, Spirituality and the Music (201 0).jpg

Sarmatian - Leonard Brown - John Coltrane and Black Americas Quest for Freedom, Spirituality and the Music 2010.jpg
Edited by prominent musician and scholar Leonard Brown, John Coltrane and Black America's Quest for Freedom: Spirituality and the Music is a timely exploration of Coltrane's sound and its spiritual qualities that are rooted in Black American music-culture and aspirations for freedom. A wide-ranging collection of essays and interviews featuring many of the most eminent figures in Black American music and jazz studies and performance --Tommy Lee Lott, Anthony Brown, Herman Gray, Emmett G. Price III, Tammy Kernodle, Salim Washington, Eric Jackson, TJ Anderson ,Yusef Lateef, Billy Taylor, Olly Wilson, George Russell, and a never before published interview with Elvin Jones -- the book examines the full spectrum of Coltrane's legacy. Each work approaches this theme from a different angle, in both historical and contemporary contexts, focusing on how Coltrane became a quintessential example of the universal and enduring qualities of Black American culture.

Matthew Maly - Russia As It Is, Transformation of a Lose-Lose Society (2003).jpg

Sarmatian - Matthew Maly - Russia As It Is, Transformation of a Lose-Lose Society 2003.jpg
Russian civilization has not developed the notions of private property and individual rights as they are understood in the West. Because of this, the Russian definitions of such terms as law, success, and fairness are different from the West's.

Advanced western nations have long traditions of private property and economic freedoms, which allowed them to make a relatively smooth transition into the Industrial Age. But for Russia this transition required a great leap, and to compensate for the lack of these traditions, the leap had to have a very important symbolic, ideological dimension. As Russia built its factories, it also had to accommodate its historic quest for greatness, a worldview nurtured by Orthodox Christianity, and Russians' unique concept of fairness.

Why did this leap take the form it did? One reason is that Russia for the most part has always been a lose/lose society, where individuals agree to endure suffering in exchange for the right to cause others to suffer. The concept of win/win is a relatively recent discovery – a discovery that can't be made without private property and individual rights. Once we understand the logic of Russia’s lose/lose culture and the compensatory devices that Russia has invented to make up for the absence of private property and individual rights, we can easily understand Russia’s history and the challenges it faces today.

By accepting from the outset that Russia is different, this book avoids a discussion about whether a pair of chopsticks is a tablespoon or a teaspoon. Using simple language, humor, and real-life anecdotes, it describes Russia in a way that is understandable and useful for Westerners who want to successfully function in Russia. There is no enigma or mystery to Russia whatsoever.

Russia As It Is: Transformation of a Lose/Lose Society does not contain a single "scientific" quote, or anything else that the lay reader will find difficult to understand. All you need is a basic familiarity with Russia's 20th-century history. The book leaves its reader knowing what to fear in Russia and what to love, what to regret and what to respect, how to appreciate Russia and communicate with Russians.

The cover of the book shows a statue of Lenin eating a hamburger, and it illustrates the book's main conclusion: we gave Russia the hamburger, which is a symbol of capitalist consumption, but not a symbol of freedom and creativity. The real foundation of capitalism is the opportunity to create and to benefit from your creation, and this is what most Russians still lack. Russia did bite off a piece of capitalism, but its facial expression did not change: it is still inanimate, frozen in a lose/lose mentality that prevents democracy, private property, individual rights, and free enterprise from taking root.

David Kotz - Russia's Path From Gorbachev to Putin , The Demise of the Soviet System and the New Russ ia (2007).jpg

Sarmatian - David Kotz - Russias Path From Gorbachev to Putin, The...e Demise of the Soviet System and the New Russia 2007.jpg
Over the past few years, many of the former Communist-rule countries of Central and Eastern Europe have taken a steady path toward becoming more or less normal capitalist countries - with Poland and Hungary cases in point.
Russia, on the other hand, has experienced extreme difficulties in its attempted transition to capitalism and democracy. The pursuit of Western-endorsed policies of privatization, liberalization and fiscal austerity have brought Russia growing crime and corruption, a distorted economy and a trend toward authoritarian government.
In their 1996 book for Routledge - Revolution from Above - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the underlying reasons for the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union and the severe economic and political problems of the immediate post-Soviet period in Russia.
In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date, showing how continuing misguided policies have entrenched a group of super-rich oligarchs, in alliance with an all-powerful presidency, while further undermining Russia's economic potential. New topics include the origins of the oligarchs, the deep penetration of crime and corruption in Russian society, the financial crisis that almost destroyed the regime, the mixed blessing of an oil-dependent economy, the atrophy of democracy in the Yeltsin years, and the recentralization of political power in the Kremlin under President Putin.

Typy Broni i Uzbrojenia 36 - Janusz Magnuski - Czo łg rozpoznawczy TK (TKS) (1975).jpg

Sarmatian - Typy Broni i Uzbrojenia 36 - Janusz Magnuski - Czołg rozpoznawczy TK TKS 1975.jpg
TKS był ulepszoną wersją czołgu TK-3. Został skonstruowany w Biurze Studiów PZInż. przez zespół pod kierunkiem inż. Edwarda Habicha. Główną zmianą była modernizacja kształtu przedniej części kadłuba, wymiana silnika oraz dodanie peryskopu dla dowódcy, zmiana opancerzenia, instalacji elektrycznej, ulepszenie układu jezdnego. Produkcja seryjna ruszyła w 1934. Wyprodukowano łącznie 280 egzemplarzy . Ponieważ uzbrojenie czołgu TKS uznano za niewystarczające, na początku 1939 roku (po wcześniejszych próbach jesienią 1938) postanowiono przezbroić 250 czołgów (TK-3 i TKS łącznie) w nkm wz. 38FK kal. 20 mm., polskiej konstrukcji. Do grudnia 1939 miano przezbroić 50 czołgów TK-3 i 60 TKS. Ogólna liczba czołgów planowanych do przezbrojenia: 70 TK-3 i 80 TKS. Cykl ten miał się zakończyć z końcem lutego 1940. Do wybuchu wojny zakładom PZInż. dostarczono 26 sztuk nowego uzbrojenia. Ile zdołano przezbroić dokładnie czołgów, nie wiadomo, dość, że w linii znalazły się 23 TKS-y (24) z działkiem 20 mm.

Na podwoziu czołgu TKS powstał ciągnik artyleryjski C2P. TKS były produkowane w Czechowicach pod Warszawą (obecnie Warszawa-Ursus), w fabryce Ursus, należącej do PZInż.

Lynn M. LoPucki - Courting Failure, How Competitio n for Big Cases Is Corrupting the Bankruptcy Court s (2006).jpg

Sarmatian - Lynn M. LoPucki - Courting Failure, How Competition fo...or Big Cases Is Corrupting the Bankruptcy Courts 2006.jpg
LoPucki's provocative critique of Chapter 11 is required reading for everyone who cares about bankruptcy reform. This empirical account of large Chapter 11 cases will trigger intense debate both inside the academy and on the floor of Congress. Confronting LoPucki's controversial thesis-that competition between bankruptcy judges is corrupting them-is the most pressing challenge now facing any defender of the status quo."
-Douglas Baird, University of Chicago Law School

"This book is smart, shocking and funny. This story has everything-professional greed, wrecked companies, and embarrassed judges. Insiders are already buzzing."
-Elizabeth Warren, Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law, Harvard Law School

"LoPucki provides a scathing attack on reorganization practice. Courting Failure recounts how lawyers, managers and judges have transformed Chapter 11. It uses empirical data to explore how the interests of the various participants have combined to create a system markedly different from the one envisioned by Congress. LoPucki not only questions the wisdom of these changes but also the free market ideology that supports much of the general regulation of the corporate sector."
-Robert Rasmussen, University of Chicago Law School

A sobering chronicle of our broken bankruptcy-court system, Courting Failure exposes yet another American institution corrupted by greed, avarice, and the thirst for power.

Lynn LoPucki's eye-opening account of the widespread and systematic decay of America's bankruptcy courts is a blockbuster story that has yet to be reported in the media. LoPucki reveals the profound corruption in the U.S. bankruptcy system and how this breakdown has directly led to the major corporate failures of the last decade, including Enron, MCI, WorldCom, and Global Crossing.

LoPucki, one of the nation's leading experts on bankruptcy law, offers a clear and compelling picture of the destructive power of "forum shopping," in which corporations choose courts that offer the most favorable outcome for bankruptcy litigation. The courts, lured by big money and prestige, streamline their requirements and lower their standards to compete for these lucrative cases. The result has been a series of increasingly shoddy reorganizations of major American corporations, proposed by greedy corporate executives and authorized by case-hungry judges.

Anita Prażmowska - Poland, A Modern History (2010).jpg

Sarmatian - Anita Prażmowska - Poland, A Modern History 2010.jpg
Polish independence following the end of World War I marked a new era for a nation which had endured centuries of foreign partition. But the spirit of Polish nationalism -- forged during this long period of external domination -- has been frequently at odds with the modernising drives of democracy and communism. How can the ideals of nationalism survive in a modern nation-state? Anita Prazmowska traces this conflict from the emergence of an independent Poland in 1918; through World War II, communism and the democratic victories of Solidarity; to the present day, when Polish membership of the EU is changing perceptions both within Poland and in the wider world.

Poland: A Modern History presents a vivid and accessible portrait of Poland’s tumultuous history over the past century. It is a clear and concise introduction to a nation which, often at the epicentre of European political history, has nevertheless sometimes struggled to define its national identity.

Sarmatian - Panzerwrecks 10 - Lee Archer - German Armour 1944-45 2010.jpg
When Lee came up with the 'X' in the title to mark out tenth outing together, we immediately decided to do a take off on the 'X-Files' to celebrate the occasion, and started assembling a pastiche of the oddest and most unusual AFVs we could find. The 'Freaks and Antiques' feature was one result, and 'Panzers at Pilsen Airfield' was another. As you can see, Lee dug into his vault to share some absolute gems with us, and others were offered by Stefan De Meyer of AMC, David E. Brown and Ed Bealko, to name just a few. And as soon as we revised Panzerwrecks 2, we knew we would have to revisit it, so here's another round of images from Vienna, Berlin and Yugoslavia. As well, stills from film were used to augment Tank Museum photos of the damage incendiary and HE bombings inflicted of the MNH plant in March, 1945.
