pickAn informative history of global revolutions and the way they have shaped our world is brilliantly covered by Zakaria, who says we are currently living through the third geopolitical revolution in modern history. Despite all the reasons to worry, Zakaria gives us reasons for hope. I found this book to be objective, well written, thoughtful and thorough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI‘m prepping for a new unit with my Year 12s on revolutions in History and this text predictably communicated lots of great content, concisely and at an accessible level for my kids. This series is a super reliable starting point for me. This particular text offers a great mix of analysis of common features of revolutions and the conditions they arise in, as well as thematically grouped summaries of significant revolutions.
pickI love me some George Orwell, so naturally I had to read this graphic novel that was adapted and illustrated by ODYR.
I loved the drawings, and the layout of the book flowed nicely... Definitely a GN I will be reading over and over again!
Reading on my lunch break. So far loving the illustrations and story 🐖
pickI got this graphic novel version of Animal Farm as a gift. I had never read the original novel so I honestly can‘t say how it compares, but the drawings are delightful (well, except for the gory ones). Lots of great animal pictures (and a few pages of graphic terribleness). The parts where it gets real were a little tough to look through admittedly. It‘s not that bad but if you are sensitive to that stuff I would advise against it.
The pessimistic mood of the late 1960s was partly produced by the optimism that had pervaded the early years of the decade and radical Americans who turned against their own country often denounced it with particular bitterness because they felt it had failed to live up to its elevated destiny.
