This is the story of a man who tried to resurrect the spirit of democratic life. He was born into a time of chaos and absurdity, and he took it as his fate to carry a candle into the night. This is his story and the story of many others, the writers, artists, actors, and philosophers who took it upon themselves to remember a tradition that had failed so miserably it had almost been forgotten.

Gangraena and the Struggle for the English Revolution


Free Download Ann Hughes, "Gangraena and the Struggle for the English Revolution"
English | 2004 | pages: 495 | ISBN: 0199251924 | PDF | 4,4 mb
This meticulously researched and wide-ranging book is the first comprehensive study of Thomas Edwards’s Gangraena, probably the most important printed work of the English revolution. It provides a vivid account of the printed polemic of the revolution and its place in the religious and political mobilisation of the mid-1640s. Hughes’s book is a contribution to the history of Presbyterianism, of London, of parliamentarian fragmentation, and of reading during the revolution. It combines the new `history of the book’ with a concern for politics and religion during the crisis of the English revolution.

Diary of a combatant the diary of the revolution that made Che Guevara a legend


Free Download Diary of a combatant: the diary of the revolution that made Che Guevara a legend By Ernesto Che Guevara
2013 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0987077945 | EPUB | 15 MB
The publication of this title by Ocean Sur in Spanish in July 2011 provoked considerable international attention (including CNN). This never-before-published diary (comprising a dozen small notebooks) Ernesto Che Guevara kept during the guerrilla war in Cuba when he joined the struggle to overthrow the Batista dictatorship that led to the 1959 revolution has now been meticulously transcribed by his widow, Aleida March.Why did it take over fifty years for this diary to be published? Maybe because of some caustic comments Che makes in his usual brutally frank style. Maybe it was felt appropriate to wait until Fidel Castro had produced his own memoirs (now published by Ocean Press as The Strategic Victory).In launching the book in Havana in July 2011, editor María del Carmen Ariet marked that it was "never clear whether or not Che wanted these diaries published" as he had reworked several pieces into his famous Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War, on which Steven Soderbergh based part one of his epic movie Che, starring Benicio Del Toro.Nevertheless, all Che’s diaries-from his early Motorcycle Diaries and its sequel, Latin America Diaries, through to his last diary from Bolivia-are extraordinary examples of his literary gift and his political incisiveness, in terms of his personal reflections, his criticisms and self-criticism, and his observations about others and events.Other features of this new book are fifty-eight unpublished photos from Che’s personal archive and unpublished letters (including correspondence between Che and Fidel), an index, and extensive glossary.

China’s Telecommunications Revolution


Free Download China’s Telecommunications Revolution By Eric Harwit
2008 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0199233748 | PDF | 2 MB
China’s telecommunications industry has seen revolutionary transformation and growth over the past three decades. Chinese Internet users number nearly 150 million, and the PRC expects to quickly pass the US in total numbers of connected citizens. The number of mobile and fixed-line telephone users soared from a mere 2 million in 1980 to a total of nearly 800 million in 2007. China has been the most successful developing nation in history for spreading telecommunications access at an unparalleled rapid pace. This book tells how China conducted its remarkable "telecommunications revolution". It examines both corporate and government policy to get citizens connected to both voice and data networks, looks at the potential challenges to the one-party government when citizens get this access, and considers the new opportunities for networking now offered to the people of one of the world’s fastest growing economies.The book is based on the author’s fieldwork conducted in several Chinese cities, as well as extensive archival research. It focuses on key issues such as building and running the country’s Internet, mobile phone company rivalry, foreign investment in the sector, and telecommunications in China’s vibrant city of Shanghai. It also considers the country’s internal "digital divide", and questions how equitable the telecommunications revolution has been. Finally, it examines the ways the PRC’s entry to the World Trade Organization will shape the future course of telecommunications growth.

100 Years of Permanent Revolution Results and Prospects


Free Download 100 Years of Permanent Revolution: Results and Prospects By Bill Dunn, Hugo Radice
2006 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 074532522X | PDF | 4 MB
One hundred years on from their first appearance in Leon Trotsky’s Results and Prospects, this is a critical re-evaluation of two key Marxist theories: uneven and combined development, and permanent revolution. It brings together a formidable array of Marxist intellectuals from across the world including Daniel Bensaid, Michael Löwy, Hillel Ticktin and Patrick Bond.Marx saw societies progressing through distinct historical stages – feudal, bourgeois and communist. Trotsky advanced this model by considering how countries at different stages of development influence each other. Developed countries colonise less developed countries and exploit their people and resources. Elsewhere, even as many were kept in poverty, the influence of foreign capital and state-led industrialisation produced novel economic forms and prospects for political alliances and change. The contributors show how, 100 years on from its original publication, Trotsky’s theories are hugely useful for understanding today’s globalised economy, dominated by US imperialism. The book makes an ideal introduction to Trosky’s thinking, and is ideal for students of political theory and development economics.

Tiny Quantum, Giant Revolution

English | 2024 | ISBN: 9811287007 | 279 Pages | PDF (True) | 24 MB
The first industrial revolution was accompanied by the emergence of the School of Engineering, the second brought about the School of Electrical Engineering, and the third digital revolution led to the School of Information. It is now obvious that the change in this quantum revolution must lead to the emergence of the School of Quantum Science and Technology. Quantum technology can develop comprehensively through the integration of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM). In 1925, Heisenberg developed the Matrix Mechanics, cracking the mysteries of the Quantum world. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Matrix Mechanics, in 2024, the General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed 2025 the ‘International Year of Quantum Science and Technology,’ along with a year-long initiative celebrating the profound impacts of quantum science on technology, culture, and our understanding of the natural world.
