        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Santa Evita

        Roman

        by Tomás Eloy Martínez, Peter Schwaar

        Eva Perón starb 1952 im Alter von nur 33 Jahren; eine bombastische Zeremonie des langsamen Abschieds nahm ihren Lauf. Evita war eine aus der Provinz auf- und von der Leinwand herabgestiegene Göttin, eine lebende Heilige. Was jedoch nach ihrem Tode geschah, scheint jedes Maß der Verehrung zu sprengen: Ihr Leib wurde einbalsamiert, versteckt, gejagt, ging auf eine makabre Wanderschaft und wurde zum Objekt unglaublicher Intrigen und Obsessionen – mehr noch als Evita selbst. »›Santa Evita‹ hat mich von der ersten Seite an überwältigt – ich war gerührt, litt, genoß, eignete mir schändliche Laster an und verriet meine heiligsten Prinzipien. Wenn ein Roman es fertigbringt, einen Sterblichen mit festen Grundsätzen und strengen Gewohnheiten zu derartigem Unfug zu verleiten, dann kann es keinen Zweifel geben: Er gehört entweder verboten, oder er muß unverzüglich gelesen werden.« »Mario Vargas Llosa« »Hier ist endlich der Roman, den ich immer lesen wollte.« »Gabriel García Márquez«

        Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist

        by Simon Krivec

        More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.
