In 1943, there was an urgent need for Animal Farm. The Soviet Union had become Britain’s ally in the war against Nazi Germany, and criticism of Stalin’s brutal regime was either censored or discouraged. In any case, many intellectuals on the left still celebrated the Soviet Union, claiming that the terrors of its show trials, summary executions and secret police were either exaggerated or necessary. But, to Orwell, Stalin was always a “disgusting murderer” and he wanted to remind people of this fact in a powerful and memorable way. But how to do it? A political essay would never reach a wide enough audience; a traditional novel would take too long to write. Orwell hit on the inspired idea of combining the moralism of the traditional ‘beast fable’ with the satire of Gulliver’s Travels.
A group of farmyard animals, led by the pigs, overthrow their human masters. Their revolution is inspired by high ideals: the farm will be run in the interests of its animals with no more slaughtering, plenty of food for all and comfort in retirement. But when Napoleon the pig takes command, he quickly corrupts their principles, creating a new tyranny worse than the old.
Orwell wrote Animal Farm in the middle of the Second World War, but at first no publishers wanted to touch it. It was finally published in August 1945, once the war was over. This little book quickly became a seminal text in the emerging ‘cold war’ (a phrase that Orwell himself coined). It also became a site of that conflict itself, suffering various attempts to subvert or change its meaning. Today, Animal Farm remains a powerful fable about the nature of tyranny and corruption which applies for all ages.

World." Settled in 1853 after a wagon train daringly crossed the
Cascade Mountains through Naches Pass, Sumner quickly grew to
become an established town. Find out how Sumner's name was
literally drawn out of a hat. Learn about George Ryan's unique
method for getting the railroad to stop here. Take a tour down Main
Street, and watch how it changed--or didn't--through the decades.
See Ryan House when it actually was a farmhouse and the Old Cannery
when it was canning fruit. Join in celebrations over the years,
from the Daffodil Parade to football championships. Meet
schoolchildren, including Clara McCarty Wilt, who became the first
graduate of the University of Washington. Follow the work at local
industries, from the lumberyards to the fields, where daffodils,
berries, and of course, rhubarb were grown.

An inspiring, 100% plant-based cookbook to help manage
diabetes, prevent complications, and promote optimal
health with easy vegan recipes, advice on meal planning,
cooking tips, shopping lists, and more! Celebrated vegan
nutritionist Sharon Palmer, aka The Plant-Powered Dietitian,
presents 100 plant-based diet recipes for evidence-based diabetes
management. Although there are many cookbooks tailored for people
with diabetes, the vegan cookbook for diabetics is rare —a
surprising fact given mounting research proving plant-based diets
have lasting benefits for people living with diabetes. Nearly 12%
of the U.S. population has diabetes, while 38% of adults have
prediabetes—and it is our aging generation that carries the
heaviest disease burden; roughly half of seniors in the U.S. have
prediabetes. This book is especially for them. Sharon explains this
research in an accessible and persuasive way with
easy-to-understand graphs and charts, but also with a warm and
friendly tone that will encourage readers. In The Plant-Powered
Plan to Beat Diabetes, Palmer provides a comprehensive,
100% plant-based eating plan (meaning no meat,
fish, eggs, or dairy) based on existing research for managing
diabetes. The original photography of her inventive, globally
inspired, and heart-healthy recipes make each culinary creation
difficult to resist! Find step-by-step meal plans and learn
plant-based cooking methods and strategies. Regardless of whether
the goal is to go vegan or simply move to a more plant-forward
eating style. Palmer makes it easy and convenient to
shift eating patterns for good health, while enjoying delicious
food! The popular PlantYou vegan cookbook by Carleigh Bodrug meets
the diabetes-focused, Complete Diabetes Cookbook by America’s
Test Kitchen with this accessible plant-based cookbook and meal
planning guide for people with diabetes. Palmer’s simplified
approach to plant-powered eating for diabetes management makes this
cookbook an essential gift and tool for loved ones to share with
family members living with diabetes, or for clinicians,
nutritionists, nurses, or health practitioners who treat and manage
patients with diabetes.
