Book Description
The historical events in the book come from Wikipedia and the Internet. Our generation experienced the Great Famine and the Cultural Revolution during the Mao era, and experienced the tremendous changes in China’s 40 years of economic reform with the strong support of the United States. The book explains that the Chinese Communist Party, the Soviet Communist Party, and the United States have been in a split-and-cooperation contest for a hundred years due to complex historical reasons. Understanding the historical truth improves the ability to distinguish right from wrong. To this end, in the first chapter, I adopted Tucker Carlson, the former gold medal political commentator of Fox in the United States, as the opening remarks of this book. Cognitive warfare is the most important war without gunpowder in our time. Cognition directly affects a person’s actions. Therefore, it is our responsibility to spread the truth. The book describes the historical grievances and current situation between the Communist Party of China and the Republic of China in Taiwan. With the changes of the times, Taiwan has completed the democratic process and has become the best democratic country in Asia and even the world. It has also become the center of world AI technology. China is still a dictatorial regime of the Communist Party. It has become a consensus among more and more countries that the two countries are not subordinate to each other. The background story of COVID-19 is very shocking. The United States has always been the imaginary enemy of the Chinese military, whether in war, peacetime or the Cold War. The peaceful protest on Capitol Hill on January 6 was characterized as treason, which is also of concern to the whole world. I recorded the course of the incident at that time and restored the truth of the matter. At present, we are in a century-long transformation, which is an inevitable result of historical development. Currently, we are in the midst of a century of major changes, and it is very necessary to understand the truth about history and reality.

Death Rode the Rails
Author: Mark Aldrich
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801889073
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
For most of the 19th and much of the 20th centuries, railroads dominated American transportation. They transformed life and captured the imagination. Yet by 1907 railroads had also become the largest cause of violent death in the country, that year claiming the lives of nearly twelve thousand passengers, workers, and others. In Death Rode the Rails Mark Aldrich explores the evolution of railroad safety in the United States by examining a variety of incidents: spectacular train wrecks, smaller accidents in shops and yards that devastated the lives of workers and their families, and the deaths of thousands of women and children killed while walking on or crossing the street-grade tracks. The evolution of railroad safety, Aldrich argues, involved the interplay of market forces, science and technology, and legal and public pressures. He considers the railroad as a system in its entirety: operational realities, technical constraints, economic history, internal politics, and labor management. Aldrich shows that economics initially encouraged American carriers to build and operate cheap and dangerous lines. Only over time did the trade-off between safety and output—shaped by labor markets and public policy—motivate carriers to develop technological improvements that enhanced both productivity and safety. A fascinating account of one of America's most important industries and its dangers, Death Rode the Rails will appeal to scholars of economics and the history of transportation, technology, labor, regulation, safety, and business, as well as to railroad enthusiasts.

Trapped Under the Sea
Author: Neil Swidey
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307886735
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
The harrowing story of five men who were sent into a dark, airless, miles-long tunnel, hundreds of feet below the ocean, to do a nearly impossible job—with deadly results A quarter-century ago, Boston had the dirtiest harbor in America. The city had been dumping sewage into it for generations, coating the seafloor with a layer of “black mayonnaise.” Fisheries collapsed, wildlife fled, and locals referred to floating tampon applicators as “beach whistles.” In the 1990s, work began on a state-of-the-art treatment plant and a 10-mile-long tunnel—its endpoint stretching farther from civilization than the earth’s deepest ocean trench—to carry waste out of the harbor. With this impressive feat of engineering, Boston was poised to show the country how to rebound from environmental ruin. But when bad decisions and clashing corporations endangered the project, a team of commercial divers was sent on a perilous mission to rescue the stymied cleanup effort. Five divers went in; not all of them came out alive. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents collected over five years of reporting, award-winning writer Neil Swidey takes us deep into the lives of the divers, engineers, politicians, lawyers, and investigators involved in the tragedy and its aftermath, creating a taut, action-packed narrative. The climax comes just after the hard-partying DJ Gillis and his friend Billy Juse trade assignments as they head into the tunnel, sentencing one of them to death. An intimate portrait of the wreckage left in the wake of lives lost, the book—which Dennis Lehane calls "extraordinary" and compares with The Perfect Storm—is also a morality tale. What is the true cost of these large-scale construction projects, as designers and builders, emboldened by new technology and pressured to address a growing population’s rapacious needs, push the limits of the possible? This is a story about human risk—how it is calculated, discounted, and transferred—and the institutional failures that can lead to catastrophe. Suspenseful yet humane, Trapped Under the Sea reminds us that behind every bridge, tower, and tunnel—behind the infrastructure that makes modern life possible—lies unsung bravery and extraordinary sacrifice.

Reader in Tragedy
Author: Marcus Nevitt
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1474270441
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
This unique anthology presents the important historical essays on tragedy, ranging from antiquity to the present, divided into historical periods and arranged chronologically. Across its span, it traces the development of theories and philosophies of tragedy, enabling readers to consider the ways in which different varieties of environmentalist, feminist, leftist and postcolonial thought have transformed the status of tragedy, and the idea of the tragic, for recent generations of artists, critics and thinkers. Students of literature and theatre will find this collection an invaluable and accessible guide to writing from Plato and Aristotle through to Freud, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and 21st century theorists. Ideas of tragedy and the tragic have been central to the understanding of culture for the past two millennia. Writers and thinkers from Plato through to Martha Nussbaum have analyzed the genre of tragedy to probe the most fundamental of questions about ethics, pleasure and responsibility in the world. Does tragedy demand that we enjoy witnessing the pain of others? Does it suggest that suffering is inevitable? Is human sexuality tragic? Is tragedy even possible in a world of rolling news on a digitally connected planet, where atrocity and trauma from around the globe are matters of daily information? In order to illustrate the different ways that writers have approached the answers to such questions, this Reader collects together a comprehensive selection of canonical writings on tragedy from antiquity to the present day arranged in six sections, each featuring an introduction providing concise and informed historical and theoretical frameworks for the texts.
