Minneapolis in the Twentieth Century
Автор: Iric Nathanson
Год издания: 0000
Today, Minneapolis is considered one of the most desirable places to live in the United States. However, like most cities, Minneapolis has its own checkered history.<br /><br />Iric Nathanson shines a light in dark corners of the city's past, exploring corruption that existed between the police department and city hall, brutal suppression of Depression-era unions, and reports on anti-Semitism at midcentury. Still other subjects that on the surface seem disparaging offer the city's residents an opportunity to shine. Community leaders make a difference during the "long, hot summer" of 1967, when racial violence exploded across the country. Concerned neighbors guide transportation policy from more and bigger highways to forward-looking light rail transit. A forgotten riverfront is transformed into a magnet for people wishing to live and play at the site of the city's earliest successes.<br /><br />Nathanson skillfully tells these stories and more, always with an eye toward how noteworthy characters, plotlines, and scenes helped create the Minneapolis we know today.
Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century

«The Centre for Irish and Celtic Studies at the University of Ulster hosted at Coleraine, between the 24th and 26th August 2000, a very successful and informative conference on ‘Celtic Literatures in the Twentieth Century’. The lectures and the discussions were of a high standard, and it was the intention of the organisers to edit and publish the proceedings as soon as possible thereafter. Unfortunately, due to dif culties in assembling some of the papers, this was not possible and, consequently, publication has been delayed much longer than was originally anticipated. Despite this delay, we feel that those papers which we have received merit publication at this time, not only because of their intrinsicmerits, but also because they represent the views of the authors on their respective topics at the turn of the twenty rst century and will hopefully be of value to those interested in the state of the modern Celtic literatures.»

XXI век: исламский вызов. XXI Century: Islamic Challenge
Автор: Роберт Енгибарян
Год издания:
«Исламская цивилизация, в принципе отрицает независимость личности, ее индивидуальные права и свободы, жестко требует от своих приверженцев полного духовного и физического подчинения, восприятия ими ислама в качестве своей человеческой сущности. Реактивный количественный рост исламского населения, подстрекаемый Турцией, Саудовской Аравией, Пакистаном, Катаром и другими, их переселение в дряхлеющие европейские страны, с целью их постепенной исламизации, последние годы особенно усилился. Классическая схема этого процесса выглядит так. Сначала массовая миграция голодных молодых мужчин и женщин, детей, потом их консолидация вокруг мечетей, исламских школ и медресе, бурный количественный рост в новых в значительно более благоприятных условиях, обособленная жизнь в своих анклавах на средства, выделенные государством в качестве социальной помощи и строительство, посланные Турцией, Саудовской Аравией, Катаром и другими деньги, новых мечетей, натурализация и приобретение гражданства, создание подручной пятой колонны и политических партий, бесконечные стычки и требования для живущих по шариату неработающих мусульман новых социальных благ…»
