Revolutionary Russia - A History in Documents (Paperback): Robert Weinberg, Laurie Bernstein Revolutionary Russia - A History in Documents (Paperback)
Robert Weinberg, Laurie Bernstein
R816 Discovery Miles 8 160 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Revolutionary Russia: A History in Documents provides a visually stimulating survey of revolutionary Russia, from the collapse of the autocracy in 1917 to the consolidation of the Stalinist system in the 1930s. Authors Robert Weinberg and Laurie Bernstein have collected far-flung documents--many available in English for the first time--and woven them into a narrative that focuses on the effort to build communism in Russia and its effects on the lives of ordinary people. Providing introductions to each chapter and document along with sidebars and detailed photo captions, the main text tantalizes readers with the great vision, conflict, hopes, and horrors of this much-mythologized part of modern history, while the back matter offers resources for further exploration.
Utilizing a mix of textual and visual documents-including photographs, posters, and objects-to create a textured history of revolutionary Russia, the book covers such diverse topics as the prelude to revolution, the Bolshevik rise to power, the fate of the royal family, peasant resistance to Bolshevik policies, Stalin's "revolution from above," and the Great Terror. A picture essay, featuring sixteen posters, provides a visual depiction of the impact of the revolution on women.

Penny The Penguin has PKU (Paperback): Laurie Bernstein, Joanna Helm Penny The Penguin has PKU (Paperback)
Laurie Bernstein, Joanna Helm
R463 Discovery Miles 4 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Phenylketonuria (pronounced fee-nill-key-toe-NURR-ee-uh) or PKU is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder. Each year, approximately 1 in 14,000 newborn babies are diagnosed with PKU. If you have PKU, your body cannot break down, or metabolize, the essential amino acid, phenylalanine (Phe). Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The primary treatment for PKU is a special metabolic formula and the restriction of foods high in Phe (protein), such as meats, cheeses, milk, bread and pasta. Life-long dietary compliance is a critical component for proper growth and development in children and quality of life in adults. We hope Penny The Penguin can help your child on this "diet for life" journey.

My Life in Stalinist Russia - An American Woman Looks Back (Paperback, New Ed): Mary M. Leder My Life in Stalinist Russia - An American Woman Looks Back (Paperback, New Ed)
Mary M. Leder; Edited by Laurie Bernstein; Introduction by Robert Weinberg
R815 Discovery Miles 8 150 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"The thoughtful memoirs of a disillusioned daughter of the Russian Revolution.... A sometimes astonishing, worm s-eye view of life under totalitarianism, and a valuable contribution to Soviet and Jewish studies." Kirkus Reviews

"In this engrossing memoir, Leder recounts the 34 years she lived in the U.S.S.R.... She] has a marvelous memory for the details of everyday life.... This plainly written account will particularly appeal to readers with a general interest in women s memoirs, Russian culture and history, and leftist politics." Publishers Weekly

In 1931, Mary M. Leder, an American teenager, was attending high school in Santa Monica, California. By year s end, she was living in a Moscow commune and working in a factory, thousands of miles from her family, with whom she had emigrated to Birobidzhan, the area designated by the USSR as a Jewish socialist homeland. Although her parents soon returned to America, Mary, who was not permitted to leave, would spend the next 34 years in the Soviet Union. My Life in Stalinist Russia chronicles Leder s experiences from the extraordinary perspective of both an insider and an outsider. Readers will be drawn into the life of this independent-minded young woman, coming of age in a society that she believed was on the verge of achieving justice for all but which ultimately led her to disappointment and disillusionment. Leder s absorbing memoir presents a microcosm of Soviet history and an extraordinary window into everyday life and culture in the Stalin era."
