WARNING: This is not the actual book Savage Continent by Keith Lowe . Do not buy this Summary, Review & Analysis if you are looking for a full copy of this great book.We have already read Savage Continent and pulled out some of the key points, and insights to give you a comprehensive chapter-by-chapter summary & review.

Packaged together in an engaging and easily digestible format, this concise summary & analysis works best as an unofficial guide or companion to read alongside the book. A SUMMARY OF KEITH LOWE'S SAVAGE CONTINENT: EUROPE IN THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR IISavage Continent attempts to fill a void regarding the immediate post-WWII history of Europe. A great deal has been written about WWII itself, but not much about the period that followed right after, according to the author. It covers approximately the period 1944-49. It also attempts to change an enduring misperception about the rise of Europe from the ashes of WWII. According to this narrative, Europe rose like a Phoenix in an uninterrupted fashion to become an example to the world of peaceful coexistence and economic prosperity. But before doing so, the author maintains that it descended into chaos and anarchy, fueled by the fires of vengeance and unfinished sectarian wars.Renowned historian Keith Lowe previously delved deeply into World War II and its aftermath with his critically acclaimed 2007 book Inferno, which chronicled the American and British air force's firebombing of Germany. In Savage Continent, Lowe treats us to an unflinching look at the ethnic cleansings, atrocities, and civil and guerrilla wars that WWII spawned, which shaped post-war Europe and continued after WWII officially ended. From familiar territory of bombed-out cities and concentration camps, we are introduced to much less-known and much more distorted tragedies and atrocities. In this summary, you will discover that:• Mass displacement during the war had brought a fundamental change: It had become conceivable to uproot whole populations in mass ethnic cleansing operations.• Food and its lack thereof were used as weapons of war and of wider policy. • In extreme circumstances, civilization and all the moral obligations and exigencies that come with it can be undone and subverted by the need to survive.• Even the worst catastrophe in history had a silver lining.• Revenge is one of the most ingrained and powerful of human emotions, rivaling love on the opposite extreme of the spectrum.

Packaged together in an engaging and easily digestible format, this concise summary & analysis works best as an unofficial guide or companion to read alongside the book. THE UNWINDING: INNER HISTORY OF THE NEW AMERICA -- GEORGE PACKERGeorge Packer's book The Unwinding reads like a modern family history of wealth in America. By Packer's estimation, the "second generation" started to peter out in the 1970s; by the early 1980s, as the crack epidemic began to sweep the inner cities at the same time that looser regulations started to sweep Wall Street, the wealth of America started to unwind. Today, with phrases like "jobless recovery" still being used to describe the economy, even the most optimistic observers are forced to wonder if America should now be classified a has-been, a country that sustains itself on the memory of its greatness rather than on its actual merits.In telling the story of America's "unwinding," he doesn't state his own opinions about the matter too blatantly, preferring instead to rely upon the personal narratives of individual Americans to paint his portrait of what went wrong. He provides intimate, exclusive profiles of fascinating characters such as:• Jeff Connaughton, a former Senate adviser to current Vice President Joe Biden. Connaughton left Capitol Hill to blow the whistle on the tactics Wall Street uses to control Congress and block any meaningful regulation and reform. • Colin Powell, former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs• Jay-Z, Grammy Award-winning rapper• Dean Price, a struggling biofuels entrepreneur• Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-MartThrough it all, Packer expertly weaves them together to document the decay of social structures and institutions that began in the 1960s and that has carried through to the present day. This "unwinding" has created greater freedoms in certain ways but has also made life in America more uncertain than ever before. Gazing at America's past four decades through the eyes of the many "characters" Packer has selected, the reader is left with an uneasy feeling that things in the United States, at least for the working class and middle class, are destined to get worse before they get better.FROM START-TO-FINISH IN JUST 20 MINUTES!Here's your chapter-by-chapter guide to George Packer's The Unwinding that you can start and finish right now!

WARNING: This is not the actual book The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert. Do not buy this Summary, Review & Analysis if you are looking for a full copy of this great book.This summary of The Sixth Extinction drills deep down into the book, which travels to exotic locations around the world to illustrate case studies of an endangered planet (think of it as a "1000 places to see before the world dies"). In chapter synopses, speculate on different scenarios that could lead to an earth-altering cataclysm. Visit a frozen zoo, where the cells of a 1,000 species have been served a liquid nitrogen cocktail. Find hope as you learn how "the most important ecological experiment ever done" is currently underway in the Amazon rainforest. In addition to an author biography, this summary of The Sixth Extinction includes a "putting it together" section: a helping hand for understanding Kolbert's big ideas.It's hard to believe that the sum total of all human civilization will one day be compressed into a rock layer the width of a piece of paper, but in The Sixth Extinction, Elizabeth Kolbert gives the reader an expansive overview of how Mother Earth is getting ready to clean house – again. This time, it's not just the mastodon bones being thrown out with the trash. An exploration of how humans are heading for mass extinction largely due to their own follies, The Sixth Extinction compresses anecdotes, evidence, and scientific characters into a sometimes-humorous tome of an otherwise serious topic.

WARNING: This is not the actual book Quiet by Susan Cain. Do not buy this Summary, Review & Analysis if you are looking for a full copy of this great book.As you read Susan Cain's insightful account, our Summary, Review & Analysis helps you figure out exactly what to take away from the book, and how to use it.The Quiet Revolution is underway, thanks to Susan Cain's Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. This summary explains how to be an introvert in an extroverted world, and how to spot an introvert if you are not one. It's someone who shuns the team environment in favor of going it alone. Don't let their quiet nature fool you though; the introverts are the ones that shape society. Rosa Parks? Introvert. Chopin? Introvert. They aren't looking for promotion; they just want the job done right. Quiet details society's minimizing of introverts, and it explains how we are worse because of it.This summary explains how Cane coined the phrase "Extrovert Ideal," which is a twentieth century phenomenon that says if you are not an extrovert, you will never succeed. A successful introvert is someone who is extrovert on the outside and introvert on the inside. It's the lecturer bouncing around like a lab rat on speed that retires to his dressing room afterward in solace. It's the hyperactive salesperson who could sell water to a drowning man, only to quietly ponder the questions of his clients after each day. Quiet is a powerful work, capable of changing the world's view of introverts, and capable of changing how introverts view themselves.

Packaged together in an engaging and easily digestible format, this concise summary & analysis works best as an unofficial guide or companion to read alongside the book. If people like Malala can come out of Pakistan, all is not yet lost in that benighted country. The result of the clash between her passion in advocating such a noble cause and the forces of darkness embodied in the Taliban was to almost martyr her before her time. She is a child prodigy, and her autobiography rings true. She is objective, clear, and evenhanded in describing a society (of which she is a part) so charged with religious fervor and conflict. Moreover, Malala has the character and the wisdom to push an issue that is greatly upsetting in a deeply patriarchal society: the right of every girl and woman to an education. Why should this be? Because it is profoundly liberating to that portion of the population that happens to be women and therefore threatening to those who have power over them. These oppressors feared education's liberating influence for women and girls, causing them to strike out against an innocent and wholesome girl in the form of Malala.Here's your chapter-by-chapter guide you can use as you read along with Malala Yousafzai's I Am Malala!
