The first book to tell the whole story of SNAP and to explain why
all Americans should support it. Â The Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program is the nation’s largest government effort for
helping low-income Americans obtain an adequate diet. How did SNAP,
formerly the food stamp program, evolve from a Depression-era
effort to use up surplus goods into America’s foundational food
assistance program? And how does SNAP survive? Incisive and
original, Why SNAP Works is the first book to provide a
comprehensive history and evaluation of the nation’s most
important food insecurity and poverty alleviation effort. Â
Everyone has an opinion about SNAP, not all of them positive, but
its benefits are felt broadly and across party lines. Christopher
Bosso makes a clear, nuanced, and impassioned case for protecting
this unique food program, exploring its history and breaking down
the facts for readers across the political spectrum. Why SNAP Works
is an essential book for anyone concerned about food access,
poverty, and the “welfare system†in the United States.

This edition makes easily accessible the most important parts of
Marx's and Engels's major early philosophical work, The German
Ideology, a text of key importance for students.
In 850 analytical articles, this two-volume set explores the
developments that influenced the profound changes in thought and
sensibility during the second half of the eighteenth century and
the first half of the nineteenth century. The Encyclopedia provides
readers with a clear, detailed, and accurate reference source on
the literature, thought, music, and art of the period,
demonstrating the rich interplay of international influences and
cross-currents at work; and to explore the many issues raised by
the very concepts of Romantic and Romanticism.
The philosophical and philological study of Aristotle fragments and
lost works has fallen somewhat into the background since the
1960's. This is regrettable considering the different and
innovative directions the study of Aristotle has taken in the last
decades. This collection of new peer-reviewed essays applies the
latest developments and trends of analysis, criticism, and
methodology to the study of Aristotle's fragments. The individual
essays use the fragments as tools of interpretation, shed new light
on different areas of Aristotle philosophy, and lay bridges between
Aristotle's lost and extant works. The first part shows how
Aristotle frames parts of his own understanding of Philosophy in
his published, 'popular' work. The second part deals with issues of
philosophical interpretation in Aristotle's extant works which can
be illuminated by fragments of his lost works. The philosophical
issues treated in this section range from Theology to Natural
Science, Psychology, Politics, and Poetics. As a whole, the book
articulates a new approach to Aristotle's lost works, by providing
a reassessment and new methodological explorations of the
fragments.

Intelligence and Espionage: Secrets and Spies provides a global
introduction to the role of intelligence - a key, but sometimes
controversial, aspect of ensuring national security. Separating
fact from fiction, the book draws on past examples to explore the
use and misuse of intelligence, examine why failures take place and
address important ethical issues over its use. Divided into two
parts, the book adopts a thematic approach to the topic, guiding
the reader through the collection and analysis of information and
its use by policymakers, before looking at intelligence sharing.
Lomas and Murphy also explore the important associated activities
of counterintelligence and the use of covert action, to influence
foreign countries and individuals. Topics covered include human and
signals intelligence, the Cuban Missile Crisis, intelligence and
Stalin, Trump and the US intelligence community, and the Soviet
Bloc. This analysis is supplemented by a comprehensive documents
section, containing newly released documents, including material
from Edward Snowden's leaks of classified material. Supported by
images, a comprehensive chronology, glossary, and 'who's who' of
key figures, Intelligence and Espionage is an invaluable resource
for anyone interested in the role of intelligence in policymaking,
international relations and diplomacy, warfighting and politics to
the present day.
