In March 1953 and May 1955, government officials-including the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA), the US Department of Defense, and the Atomic Energy Commission-released nuclear bombs on two model towns at Nevada Test Site, the continental nuclear test facility during the Cold War. These so-called "Doom Towns" were designed to illustrate in the most vivid way possible what might happen to a "typical American home" caught in a Soviet atomic blast.^Instead of training troops for war overseas, the Doom Towns literally brought the Cold War home.Drawing on newspaper articles, FCDA reports, and corporate documents, John Wills brings readers into Doom Town, USA-a place where life-size mannequins of the archetypal Mr. and Mrs. America walked the streets in JCPenney clothes, drove Chrysler cars, and lived in the latest trailer homes, tailor-made to escape in the event of nuclear war. The two Doom Towns of Operation Doorstep (1953) and Operation Cue (1955) were far more than just an exercise in developing a new civilian home front. They were a media spectacle and a cultural flashpoint, attracting corporate sponsors, drawing in atomic tourists, and generating new consumer products. The atom bomb may have been bad for world peace, but it was good for business. In the excitement about these experiments, real people even volunteered to be living test subjects-but most were turned away.^Doom Town became an unusual but effective banner for corporate and consumer life in the 1950s. Doom Town was an effective simulacrum of white middle-class America, right down to the racially segregated social spaces and the hierarchical gender roles of the dummies living in their classic suburban homes. But these homegrown Hiroshimas also contributed to a broader culture of catastrophe and fear in the late 1950s. Concerns over Communist invasion, Soviet spies, and ICBM missiles coalesced in the Nevada desert, framing a national culture of anxiety. The sudden explosion of the model towns revealed the shocking fragility of postwar living, calling into question the 1950s American Dream and the survivability of American ideals. The cultural crater left by these nuclear test sites exists even today in the many movies, television shows, and video games that dwell on the existential crisis of impending apocalypse.^John WillsCold War / Social aspects / United StatesNuclear weapons / United States / Testing / History / 20th centuryNevada National Security Site (Nev.) / History / 20th centuryUnited States / History / 1953-1961Guerre froide / Aspect social / États-UnisNevada Test Site (Nev.) / Histoire / 20e siècleÉtats-Unis / Histoire / 1953-1961HISTORY / United States / 20th CenturySOCIAL SCIENCE / Media StudiesOnline-Ausgabe9780700641369BVBBV050755377RDA-Aufnahme20260527BV050755377rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 5ruin and restoration in Trump's new AmericaLewis, RandolphauttextbookLincolnUniversity of Nebraska Press[2026]2026monographiceng256 Seiten ; 24 cmIllustrationen"In Bummerland: Ruin and Restoration in Trump's New America, Randolph Lewis scours the soul of the country during the Trump and pandemic eras with a sharp eye and keen wit to offer both a forensic and autopsy of the recent past, looking for glimmers of democratic hope and future redemption among the detritus strewn about by villainous Neo-Gilded Age billionaires, Big Tech, and right-wing America. Lewis takes the reader on high adventures and sojourns to an apocalyptic slab of the Mojave Desert, the paradoxical land around Colorado Springs, the seductively deranged city known as Las Vegas, the expat communities of Central Mexico, the racial hot spots of the Deep South, among other subjects of the 2020s"--"With radical candor and sardonic wit, Randolph Lewis offers an autopsy of the recent past, looking for glimmers of hope and redemption among the detritus strewn about by neo-Gilded Age billionaires, Big Tech, and political extremes during the first Trump administration and the pandemic era. American life took a weird turn in June 2015, when an aging reality star descended a golden escalator to announce his bid for the White House. From there, Lewis watched from his longtime home in the Lone Star State as the country slipped into an endless fever dream churning with chaos, uncertainty, and fear. Wanting to decipher how things went sideways in such a hurry, Lewis drove all over the Sunbelt and beyond, trying to make sense of what was happening. He sojourns to an apocalyptic slab of the Mojave Desert; the rugged mountains under assault near Colorado Springs; the epic sprawl of Las Vegas, Austin, and Houston; the expat communities of central Mexico; the hotbeds of racism in the Deep South; and the fjords of Norway, from which, surreally, Lewis watched the unfolding news of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and decided to go there. In a register mournful, meditative, and darkly comic, Lewis offers a portrait of modern American life under a system whose democratic norms have been stretched to the limit.Lewis, an American studies professor for three decades, examines the trajectories of cultural burnout that have ushered us into a new Gilded Age of fear, hustle, and hype. In this passionate critique of the anxious new world we inhabit, Lewis offers sketches of where we've ended up, why it feels so wrong, and how we might find our way out of Bummerland"--Randolph LewisSocial change / United States / History / 21st centuryUnited States / Social conditions / 21st centuryUnited States / Politics and government / 2017-2021États-Unis / Conditions sociales / 21e siècleÉtats-Unis / Politique et gouvernement / 2017-2021HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY)HISTORY / Modern / 21st CenturyBVBBV050749523RDA-Aufnahme20260521BV050749523rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 6test, share, and automate your projectsHillard, DaneauttextbookShelter Island, NYManning Publications[2023]2023monographicengDane Hillard ; foreword by David BeazleyPython (Computer program language)BVBBV050745650RDA-Aufnahme20260519BV050745650rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 7Thefrom military power to the monarchyTemime Blili, LeïlaautFitoussi, MargauxasnThompson, Laura AnneasnClancy-Smith, JuliaasnAmerican University in Cairo Press / publisherasntextbookCairoNew YorkThe American University in Cairo Press20262026monographicengxv, 202 Seiten ; 24 cm"The Tunisian historiography of the modern era has broadly centered on a narrative of three successive powers: the pashas, first, followed by the deys, who were in turn deposed by the beys. This approach has provided all the components of a national narrative: it has posited the decline of the pasha's authority as a consequence of the Tunisian province's autonomy, and has framed the wars between deys and beys as a conflict of identity between the Turks and the locals. While this linear story is seductive in its apparent coherence, it leaves several questions in the shadows, in particular, the interference of several external forces in the affairs of the province: most notably, the Ottoman Empire. The Regency of Tunis was effectively controlled by the Ottomans who had reactivated a former Hafsid institution, the mhalla. A kind of itinerant power, the mhalla succeeded in allowing the Ottomans to establish peace through the creation of tax regulations and matrimonial alliances with the tribes. Thus, the Regency of Tunis was able to distinguish itself from other imperial provinces through the founding of a monarchical house symbolically linked to the Empire and, at the same time, socially anchored in its territory. Relying on local sources in Tunisian archives, Leïla Blili places the Regency of Tunis firmly within the Ottoman Empire, revealing the complex connections between the imperial center and its far-flung province, and challenging the long-standing theory of Tunisian autonomy. Blili's examination of social continuity during moments of intense political turbulence restores the place of women in the narrative of state formation, underlining the significance of the matrimonial politics of sovereigns and the crucial political and social roles women played in the regency."--Leïla Temime Blili ; translated by Margaux Fitoussi and Laura Anne ThompsonTunisia / History / 1516-1881Tunisia / History / French occupation, 1881-1956Tunisia / Relations / TurkeyTurkey / Relations / TunisiaTunisie / Histoire / 1516-1881Tunisie / Histoire / 1881-1956 (Occupation française)Asie Mineure / Relations / TunisieInternational relationsTunisia / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpYDKhMpKjWJkhGCpDpfqTurkey / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxmHG9jJjCTM3y4pFRqcP1516-1956HistoryOnline-Ausgabe9781649033420BVBBV050745630RDA-Aufnahme20260519BV050745630rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 8EinElsen, NilsauttextbookHochschulschriftFreiburg im Breisgau[2024]2024monographicgerIX, 49 Blätter ; 30 cmIllustrationen, Diagrammevorgelegt 2023 von Nils Hagen ElsenAlbert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau, Dissertation, 2024KXP1895134307https://d-nb.info/1336568879/04https://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:443/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=036085884&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIARDA-Aufnahme20260513BV050740888rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 9the surprising story of Sarah Keys Evans and the fight to desegregate bus travelNathan, AmyautEvans, Sarah KeysauttextbookDurhamLondonDuke University Press[2026]2026Elektronische Ressourcemonographiceng1 Online-Ressource (xv, 284 Seiten)Illustrationen"In Riding into History, Amy Nathan draws on several years of personal conversations with Sarah Keys Evans alongside extensive historical and legal research to present a biography of Evans and her central role in the struggle for civil rights. A member of the Women's Army Corps, Evans was arrested in 1952 in Roanoke Rapids, NC for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus, three years before Rosa Parks was arrested in Alabama for the same offense. Today, a monument in Roanoke Rapids; Martin Luther King Jr. Park honors Evans and her pursuit of justice. Often overlooked in typical accounts of the Civil Rights era, Keys Evans' arrest and court case served as a crucial landmark in the fight to end segregation on public transportation. The book is comprised of several interwoven stories of Keys Evans' life, from her early childhood in Washington, NC through her participation in the movement to end Jim Crow policies, closing with a chapter containing brief accounts of some of the other men and women who took stands against transportation segregation from the mid-19th century onward"-- Provided by publisherAmy Nathan with Sarah Keys EvansEvans, Sarah KeysUnited States / Army / Women's Army Corps / BiographySegregation in transportation / North Carolina / History / 20th century / BiographyAfrican Americans / Civil rights / North Carolina / History / 20th century / BiographyRace discrimination / United States / History / 20th centuryWomen soldiers / United States / BiographyAfrican American women civil rights workers / BiographyCivil rights workers, Black / BiographyDéfenseuses des droits de l'homme noires américaines / BiographiesDéfenseurs des droits de l'homme noirs / BiographiesSégrégation dans le transport / Caroline du Nord / Histoire / 20e siècle / BiographiesNoirs américains / Droits / Caroline du Nord / Histoire / 20e siècle / BiographiesBiographiesBiographiesDruck-Ausgabe, Hardcover9781478029717Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback9781478033165BVBBV05073956010.1215/9781478061922https://doi.org/10.1215/9781478061922?locatt=mode:legacyRDA-AufnahmeSurprising story of Sarah Keys Evans and the fight to desegregate bus travel2026051320260522BV050739560rda info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.5 xml 10policing in the age of self-surveillanceFerguson, Andrew G.auttextbookNew YorkNew York University Press20262026monographiceng320 SeitenIllustrationen"This book is a stark warning about how smart devices and digital self-surveillance will be turned against us by police, prosecutors, and political whims"-- Provided by publisherAndrew Guthrie FergusonBOnline-Ausgabe97814798382959781479838301OBVAC17823164RDA-Aufnahme20260512BV050739088rda
