Book Description
' But we will do what we have always done – just get on with it .' The contributions of Northern Ireland to allied efforts in the Second World War are widely celebrated, acknowledged by both Sir Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt as vital to their eventual victory. Lesser known are the personal and individual lives of the people who made those contributions – the human cost and the everyday lives that would be changed forever. In We Just Got On With It, Doreen McBride gathers stories and interviews conducted and written by local historians and historical societies. From essential agricultural work to the sunken German submarine fleet that surrendered on the banks of Lough Foyle, and from childhood smuggling adventures to the devasting destruction of bombing raids, these are tales of humour and tragedy from those who have stories to tell.

Pages : 263
Book Description
This book combines the history of American descendants of slaves with contemporary events to explain the animus existing between the two Americas - one white, one black. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG answers Rodney's King's question by delving into the weeds of the true black experience in America - slavery, post-civil war black codes, Jim Crow segregation, Lynching, medical experimentation on men, women, and children, and race riots flaring up in every major city of the country. This unique odyssey illustrates the struggles, tears, and generations of the heartbreak of a race of people whom America would long to forget. Ignoring the fact that African-Americans built large segments of the United States, making it the wealthiest nation in the entire world, the world still views them under the lens of hate, disdain, and mistrust. Though they have proven their worth as a community, the dominant society still places them in a position at the bottom rung of society. Though unpublished when originally written in 2005, the unabridged history lessons included in this book are still applicable today.

How to Avoid a Climate Disaster
Author: Bill Gates
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0385546149
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.
