Only Fourteen Days: Let God Happen. by James, Timothy.(CARDINAL)860948;
When Danny and Jen went to sleep Wednesday night they had no idea how their lives would change. They had no idea what tomorrow would bring. They had no idea who each other were, because Danny lived in Chicago and Jen lived in Los Angeles. They had never met. Danny came from a successful family of Lawyers and Jen from a well to do family of Doctors. Both were recent college graduates and had a firm grip on what was next. Both were focused and driven with Thursday's itinerary well in place. But forces bigger than either of them had other plans. Things would change rapidly, that would close the two-thousand-mile gap between them and have them staying in the same hotel room Thursday night. Their adventure over the next fourteen days would involve the Russians, The Brotherhood, the FBI, The Archdiocese of Chicago, The Chicago judicial system, Big Lou's Diner, Two hospitals, Maya, Margaret, and the best food Jen ever ate. Nothing could dilute the chemistry that developed at first sight. One look at her and he was interested. One look at him and she thought, "He will do". Ok, maybe not the chemistry we were hoping for, but a great start. And miracles, did I forget to mention the miracles?

Totalitarianism : the basics / by Gray, Phillip W.(Phillip Wesley),1978-author.(CARDINAL)889408;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : what is totalitarianism? -- Ideology : how totalitarianism thinks -- Movement/party : how totalitarianism organizes -- Regime : how totalitarianism governs -- Totalitarianism in history -- The future of totalitarianism."Totalitarianism: The Basics is an easy to read introduction into the main concepts, ideologies, and regimes associated with totalitarianism. Starting with an overview of how scholars have attempted to define totalitarianism, Phillip W. Gray begins with an examination of the various types of terms used, helping the reader think about how these terms do - and do not - apply to different ideologies and governments. Easily accessible language and the use of numerous examples aids readers in seeing the connections between certain types of ideologies and some forms of organization/movements in their relation to historically well-known totalitarian regimes. Gray concludes with the tools necessary to think through how to distinguish between an actual (or potential) totalitarian system and regimes that, while oppressive or authoritarian, would not be totalitarian in nature. A rich bibliography containing additional readings bookend the text. Totalitarianism: The Basics offers an essential introduction for students from all backgrounds seeking to understand totalitarianism and for general readers with an interest in political ideologies and extremism. For those knowledgeable in this field, it adds conceptual relevance and the varieties of ways of thinking about the term"--

In this compelling account of how the Russians hacked the 2016 US election, CBS News Justice and Homeland Security correspondent Jeff Pegues reveals how far the Kremlin poked into voter databases and why it happened. He also investigates the steps taken to shore up election systems in states across the country ahead of the 2018 midterm elections and, indeed, the 2020 presidential election. Based on exclusive interviews with officials from the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security, and with cybersecurity experts, Kompromat takes readers behind the scenes and into the minds of investigators following the case. Pegues delves into the shadowy world of Russian spies, unraveling the complicated web of contacts between Russian operatives and Trump representatives during and after the campaign. In one chapter, he focuses on Valery Gerasimov, widely believed to be the mastermind behind a Russian cyber strategy designed to influence and disrupt democracies. Evidence is presented showing that the Russians infiltrated not only Democratic Party computer networks in the US, but networks in Ukraine and Europe as well. Consulting with representatives of top cyber security firms, the author discusses what states are doing to protect voting systems in the next midterm elections and beyond. Fascinating and chilling at the same time, Kompromat opens a window into the murky world of espionage, digital warfare, and a newly aggressive Russia brazenly inserting itself into US politics"

An uncertain glory : India and its contradictions / by Drz̈e, Jean,author.; Sen, Amartya,1933-author.(CARDINAL)315810;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 373-412) and indexes.When India became independent in 1947 after two centuries of colonial rule, it immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system, with multiple parties, freedom of speech, and extensive political rights. Maintaining rapid as well as environmentally sustainable growth remains an important and achievable goal for India. Two of India's leading economists argue that the country's main problems lie in the lack of attention paid to the essential needs of the people, especially of the poor, and often of women. In the long run, even the feasibility of high economic growth is threatened by the underdevelopment of social and physical infrastructure and the neglect of human capabilities.A new India? -- Integrating growth and development -- India in comparative perspective -- Accountability and corruption -- The centrality of education -- India's health care crisis -- Poverty and social support -- The grip of inequality -- Democracy, inequality and public reasoning -- The need for impatience.
