Bloomsbury presents The War Came To Us: Life and Death in Ukraine, written and read by Christopher MillerWINNER OF THE WITOLD PILECKI INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD SPECIAL PRIZEA WATERSTONES AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEARA breathtaking exploration of Ukraine’s past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by a leading journalist who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade.'A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb.' -- Irish TimesWhen Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times was on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.This is the definitive, inside story of Ukraine’s long fight for freedom. Told through Miller’s personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, he takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine’s modern history.With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, and resilient. This is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people — and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

From his humble beginnings as a scribbler of generic science fictions to the night of his horrifying death, Phoebus Kinsman Dank was probably the only real genius of our time, and certainly the most prolific...So writes William 'Bill' Boswell, the nation's leading 'Dankian' scholar and coauthor of "The Cardboard Universe", the seminal biographical guide to the science fiction writer's life and work. After years of tracking the obese, obsessive, and logorrheic pulp novelist, Boswell joins his coauthor, critic, and disaffected fellow acolyte Owen Hirt, to create the ultimate guide to Dank's life and work: a biographical encyclopedia, in which the two memorialize - and fight over - Dank's treasured yet hackneyed body of work. As the reader is pulled along by the unbelievable antics of Dank, the raucous Boswell vs. Hirt backstory gradually comes into focus, and eventually subsumes the story altogether.

Writing a new page in the surprisingly long history of literary deceit, Impostors examines a series of literary hoaxes, deceptions that involved flagrant acts of cultural appropriation. This book looks at authors who posed as people they were not, in order to claim a different ethnic, class, or other identity. These writers were, in other words, literary usurpers and appropriators who trafficked in what Christopher L. Miller terms the “intercultural hoax.”In the United States, such hoaxes are familiar. Forrest Carter’s The Education of Little Tree and JT LeRoy’s Sarah are two infamous examples. Miller’s contribution is to study hoaxes beyond our borders, employing a comparative framework and bringing French and African identity hoaxes into dialogue with some of their better-known American counterparts. In France, multiculturalism is generally eschewed in favor of universalism, and there should thus be no identities (in the American sense) to steal. However, as Miller demonstrates, this too is a ruse: French universalism can only go so far and do so much. There is plenty of otherness to appropriate. This French and Francophone tradition of imposture has never received the study it deserves. Taking a novel approach to this understudied tradition, Impostors examines hoaxes in both countries, finding similar practices of deception and questions of harm.

This book looks at how varieties of capitalism emerge over time and across different geographies, and is comprised of submissions from scholars around the globe. Covering a wide range of territories including Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia across both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this edited volume considers the roles that the state and business working together play in the emergence of different economic systems. Whilst most analyses focus on identifying different types of capitalism, the chapters in this volume instead focus on how these different types develop, the drivers of their emergence, and the people and organisations behind the developments. The geographical spread of analyses allows the reader to delve into how different countries have managed and even created their economic systems providing comparative insights into our understanding of how different national economic models develop over time.This book was originally published as a special issue of Business History.

Designing Lessons in the AI-Infused Classroom shows middle- and high-school teachers how to redesign their lessons and units with intentional use of artificial intelligence (AI). In a world where students can use AI tools to complete traditional assignments without actually learning anything, educators' new challenge is to design learning experiences that AI can’t do for them. This book offers unit structures that tap into student curiosity, creativity, and collaborative potential through AI-supported learning across content areas. These ready-to-use strategies can be applied right away—without a steep learning curve—to help educators enhance proven classroom practices with AI’s potential. Educators will find frameworks and unit models that are practical and flexible, designed to work with the tools and pedagogy that teachers already know by enhancing traditional methods without replacing them. The author’s original five-stage lesson framework aligns meaningfully with academic goals and incorporates project-based learning, differentiated instruction, and authentic assessment. Teachers, teacher-leaders, and school technology coordinators will be better prepared to rethink traditional instruction and use AI to complement rather than replace human interaction and self-expression.

In a time of great need for Britain, a small coterie ofinfluential businessmen gained access to secret information on industrial mobilisationas advisers to the Principal Supply Officers Committee. They provided the statewith priceless advice, but, as “insiders” utilised their access to informationto build a business empire at a fraction of the normal costs. Outsiders, incontrast, lacked influence and were forced together into a defensive “ring” –or cartel – which effectively fixed prices for British warships. By the 1930s, thecartel grew into one of the most sophisticated profiteering groups of its day.This book examines the relationship between the privatenaval armaments industry, businessmen, and the British government defenceplanners between the wars. It reassesses the concept of the military-industrialcomplex through the impact of disarmament upon private industry, the role ofleading industrialists in supply and procurement policy, and the successes andfailings of government organisation. It blends together political, naval, andbusiness history in new ways, and, by situating the business activities ofindustrialists alongside their work as government advisors, sheds new light onthe operation of the British state.This is the story of how these men profited whileeffectively saving the National Government from itself.
