Behind Putin's curtain : friendships and misadventures inside Russia / by Orth, Stephan,1979-author.; McIntosh, Jamie,translator.; translation of:Orth, Stephan,1979-Couchsurfing im Russia.English.;
Includes bibliographical references."In this humorous and thought-provoking book, Orth ventures through that vast and mysterious territory to uncover the real, unfiltered Russia not seen in today's headlines: authentic, bizarre, dangerous, and beautiful. Sidestepping the well-trod tourist path, he travels the country from Moscow to Vladivostok--across seven time zones and almost 9,500 kilometers--making stops in Chechnya, Saint Petersburg, Siberia, and beyond. Staying with an eclectic array of hosts, he bumps into gun nuts, Internet conspiracy theorists, faux shamans, and Putin fans; learns to drive in death-defying Russian style; and discovers how to cure hangovers by sniffing rye bread. But he also sees a darker side of the country, witnessing firsthand the effects of Putin's influence in the run-up to the 2016 American election and the power of propaganda in this "post-fact" era."--Provided by publisher.

The champions, part 3: The final battle -- Dancing around the table, part 1 -- Comfort and indifference.This collection explores the legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, with several major works from the NFB. Both a visionary and an idealist, Trudeau changed the face of 20th century Canada, and his influence is still being felt today. He's a key figure in Quebec and Canadian history, an inspiration for several generations. Trudeau came onto the scene in tumultuous times that saw many revolutionary changes, such as the legalization of divorce, the decriminalization of abortion and homosexuality, the abolishment of the death penalty and, of course, the October Crisis. The indelible mark he made on society is still in evidence today - perhaps even more so since his son, Justin Trudeau, was elected the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada. With a vision to make the world a better place through justice and democracy, Pierre Elliott Trudeau championed multiculturalism, a principle that had a profound impact on Canadian society.E.DVD, full screen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1.

The Instruments of Darkness A Thriller [electronic resource] : by Connolly, John.aut; cloudLibrary;
From the international and instant New York Times bestselling author John Connolly, the beloved and brilliant Charlie Parker series returns with a heart-wrenching crime only one man can solve. In Maine, Colleen Clark stands accused of the worst crime a mother can commit: the abduction and possible murder of her child. Everyone—ambitious politicians in an election season, hardened police, ordinary folk—has an opinion on the case, and most believe she is guilty. But most is not all. Defending Colleen is the lawyer Moxie Castin, and working alongside him is the private investigator Charlie Parker, who senses the tale has another twist, one involving a husband too eager to accept his wife’s guilt, a group of fascists arming for war, a disgraced psychic seeking redemption, and an old, twisted house deep in the Maine woods, a house that should never have been built. A house, and what dwells beneath.

The Italians / by Hooper, John,1950-;
Includes bibliographical references and index.How can a nation that spawned the Renaissance have produced the Mafia? How could people concerned with bella figura (keeping up appearances) have elected Silvio Berlusconi as their leader, not once, but three times? Sublime and maddening, fascinating yet baffling, Italy is a country of seemingly unsolvable riddles. John Hooper's entertaining and perceptive new book is the ideal companion for anyone seeking to understand contemporary Italy and the unique character of the Italians. Digging deep into their history, culture, and religion, Hooper offers keys to understanding everything from their bewildering politics to their love of life and beauty. Looking at the facts that lie behind the stereotypes, he sheds new light on many aspects of Italian life-- football and Freemasonry, sex, symbolism, and the reason why Italian has twelve words for a coat hanger, yet none for a hangover. Even readers who think they know Italy well will be surprised, challenged, and delighted by The Italians.

John Turner : an intimate biography of Canada's 17th prime minister / by Paikin, Steve,1960-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this masterful and engaging biography, acclaimed journalist Steve Paikin brings to life John Turner (1929-2020), one of the most glamorous and successful politicians in Canadian history. Born in England, raised in BC, Turner was a champion sprinter and a Rhodes scholar who captured the national imagination as escort for Princess Margaret on her 1959 Canadian tour. Elected to Parliament in 1962, he served in Prime Minister Lester Pearson's cabinet and as Pierre Trudeau's attorney general, minister of justice, and finance minister. In 1984, he won a hotly-contested Liberal leadership contest and served a brief four months as Canada's seventeenth prime minister before falling to Brian Mulroney in a Progressive Conservative landslide. In this surprisingly candid and personal book, Paikin draws on unprecedented access to Turner's personal and public papers to show how he struggled to meet the towering expectations that came with his abundant gifts, and keep his faith in Canadian democracy despite the challenges of his own career"--
