Bøger af Jensen Cox

April 1861-April 1865. Four years during which a still poorly united people of just over 30 million souls, including 4 million black slaves, clashed continuously, divided into two unequal camps, each invoking his own definition of freedom. A war mobilizing 3 million combatants on a territory larger than Europe, seeing more than 10,000 separate military engagements, some of which have become the cornerstones of American memory, such as Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam or Gettysburg... In many respects, it is the first major contemporary conflict, drawing on all the resources of a nascent industrial modernity, involving all the living forces of the young American society, which in a few decades has passed from a conglomeration of emancipated colonies to a democratic nation undermined by its internal contradictions. With 750,000, perhaps 850,000 dead, it was by far the deadliest war in the history of the United States, having provoked 160 years of debate and controversy, like a distant but still very present echo. To understand this founding cataclysm, Jensen Cox finally offers the long-awaited great narrative on the American Civil War, nourished by primary sources and based on an impressive international bibliography.

Abril de 1861 a abril de 1865. Quatro anos durante os quais um povo ainda pouco unido de pouco mais de 30 milhões de almas, incluindo 4 milhões de escravos negros, se chocou continuamente, dividido em dois campos desiguais, cada um invocando sua própria definição de liberdade. Uma guerra que mobilizou 3 milhões de combatentes em um território maior que a Europa, presenciando mais de 10.000 confrontos militares separados, alguns dos quais se tornaram os pilares da memória americana, como Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam ou Gettysburg... Em muitos aspectos, é o primeiro grande conflito contemporâneo, valendo-se de todos os recursos de uma nascente modernidade industrial, envolvendo todas as forças vivas da jovem sociedade americana, que em poucas décadas passou de um conglomerado de colônias emancipadas a uma nação democrática minada por suas contradições. Com 750.000, talvez 850.000 mortos, foi de longe a guerra mais mortífera da história dos Estados Unidos, tendo provocado 160 anos de debate e controvérsia, como um eco distante mas ainda muito presente. Para entender esse cataclismo fundador, Jensen Cox finalmente oferece a tão esperada grande narrativa sobre a Guerra Civil Americana, alimentada por fontes primárias e baseada em uma impressionante bibliografia internacional.

Jensen Cox converses with a mestizo who was alive in Montaigne's time precisely throughout the years. He was an interpreter as well as a businessman, the son of an Indian and a conquistador. To get to know his new domains, he spent time responding to the lengthy questionnaire issued by the Spanish crown. He improvises himself as a historian and a journalist in turn, clearly enjoying the process. He discusses the history of his nation, its customs and beliefs, as well as his concerns for the present, even if he does not subscribe to the then-common conviction that the end of the world is imminent.This outstanding source provides first-hand testimony on the development of Mexico's first colonial civilization in modern times as well as the emergence of Iberian globalization. What standards should you set when everything around you is changing and the past is fading into obscurity? That is the question Jensen Cox poses to this Renaissance guy in a true discussion. How can we adjust to a globalizing world?

I wrote each chapter with the assumption that you have less than half an hour to prepare for a presentation. What to do in such a short time? Where to start?

In each orientation, we will help you to take advantage of the knowledge acquired throughout your life. You know how to talk, don't you? Then! Perhaps what you lack is to properly use the communication you have developed with the passing of the years.

It will avoid unnecessary efforts and allow you to skip steps that would consume time, something very important for those who are about to face the public and need perform this task well.You won't need to study: you won't have to worry about memorizing rules or theoretical concepts.

And, if you have more time to devote to this learning, which you certainly will, the assimilation will be even more comfortable and peaceful.Therefore, you there are at least three ways to read this book. The first, which only takes 29 minutes, is to go straight to the end of each chapter to the section "To read in less than a minute", where you will find a summary of what was covered there. The second is to go back to the summary and choose the subjects that most interest you at the moment. For example, maybe you don't need to use audiovisual resources in your presentation, nor improve techniques for talking inside an elevator. So, feel free to choose the really essential chapters for the little time you have available now and skip the rest. Later, having dealt with your most urgent communication demands, you can dedicate yourself to the third way, which is more detailed and complete reading.

Ich habe jedes Kapitel unter der Annahme geschrieben, dass Sie weniger als eine halbe Stunde Zeit haben, um sich auf eine Präsentation vorzubereiten. Was tun in so kurzer Zeit? Wo soll man anfangen?

Die zweite besteht darin, zur Zusammenfassung zurückzukehren und die Themen auszuwählen, die Sie im Moment am meisten interessieren. Beispielsweise müssen Sie möglicherweise keine audiovisuellen Ressourcen in Ihrer Präsentation verwenden oder die Techniken für das Sprechen in einem Aufzug verbessern.

Nachdem Sie sich später mit Ihren dringendsten Kommunikationsanforderungen befasst haben, können Sie sich dem dritten Weg widmen, der detaillierter und vollständiger ist.

Actors are typically women. They battled, produced, wrote, ruled, and occasionally yelled. Despite this, they are largely omitted from history textbooks. "I only now, as an adult, realize the deception I was subjected to at school," the author writes. I'm upset about how my female ancestors were treated. Better is due to them. More than we have been taught, we all have a shared past. Why this great oversight? From the age of caves to the present day, Jensen Cox relies on the most recent discoveries to analyze the mechanisms of this biased vision of history. It gives life to erased faces, tells the story of these invisible ones, so numerous, who have changed the world. Pedagogue, biting, irresistible, with her everything lights up. Women have never been silent. This book gives them back their voices. " Free and committed woman, avid and curious spirit, confirmed writer, Author delivers a great story, exciting and true.

Jensen Cox launches for the first time in a book his guidelines for those who need to achieve a healthy relationship with money even earning little. When it comes to money, you can't think that a single speech will work for everyone. After all, the starting point of each one is not the same: the path of someone who is born into a family with a good financial situation is very different from that of someone who has worked since adolescence to help at home. But that doesn't mean that those who struggle every month to pay the bills can't get organized, learn to save, invest and have a healthy financial life. Quite the opposite. In fact, financial education and guidance are enough for the dream - be it a home, a car, an exchange program, or even paying off a debt - to be one step closer to becoming a reality. It was with this in mind that Nathália Rodrigues, who became known throughout Brazil, became a leading voice on how we use money. With humor and accessible content, the administrator and financial advisor became a phenomenon on the internet by bringing simple and valuable tips that help thousands of people to get out of the red and get financially organized. In Budget without fail , Cox addresses the main issues that plague our pockets - our relationship with credit cards, interest rates, shopping lists, planning, goals, the difference between desire and need, among others -, to help in one way once and for all those who got involved in debt or just live to pay their bills.

With his controversial theses regarding the conflict in Ukraine, Jensen Cox has taken control of the argument. A thinker had never before experienced such a brutal and protracted political and media attack in the history of republican Italy. The most pressing issues at hand are addressed in this volume. The first section recapitulates the pivotal moments in the conflict between NATO and Russia from 1999 to the present. The second introduces Mearsheimer's strategic thinking while exposing Italy's cultural lag in terms of international security issues. It also describes the American policy of bleeding Russia. The third describes Jensen's political-cultural aim and how he pursues it through the media to support the struggle against the colonisation of the living world by the system. The fourth examines the methods used by the media to slant information in favour of the Western bloc's war policies. The book concludes with outlining Max Weber's inclusive sociology methodology and presenting Jensen's report on Ukraine, which was presented before the Senate on December 4, 2018.

The Second Cold War has begun. It will be profoundly different from the first. Many things will change for all of us, in the challenge between America and China no one will be able to remain neutral. The economy and finance, science and technology, political values ¿¿and culture, every terrain will be affected by the new conflict. We must stop talking about globalization as if it were irreversible: its retreat has begun. Fifteen years after his best-sellers The Chinese century and Cindia's empire, Jensen Cox returns to attack stereotypes, forces us to review clichés, opens our eyes. The world has changed much more than Westerners realize. The sunset of the American century and the possible transition to the Chinese century are forging ahead. We got distracted while China underwent a shocking metamorphosis: it has overtaken us in the most advanced technologies, aims for supremacy in artificial intelligence and digital innovations. It is at the forefront of modernity but remains an authoritarian regime, even tougher and more nationalist under Xi Jinping. Combining Confucius and meritocracy, she theorizes the superiority of her political model, and the crisis of the liberal democracies seems to prove her right. Italy is a land of conquest for the New Silk Roads. A historic Chinese invasion is underway in Africa. Two empires, one in decline and the other on the rise, are sliding towards confrontation. America has convinced itself that, "it is now or never", China must be stopped. Who is in the middle, like the Europeans, will it stay crushed? No one is equipped to face the coming storm. Not even the leaders of the two superpowers have a clear idea about the next installments of this story, about the final point of arrival. They set in motion forces that they themselves will not be able to fully dominate. A few years ago the two superpowers seemed to have become almost one, such was the symbiosis between the factory of the world (Chinese) and its outlet market (American). That era has ended and will not return. What many experts considered impossible is happening. The tariffs were only the accelerator of a divorce that will change the maps of our future.

All of them were surprised by his victory. Media outlets, pollsters, thinkers, and political scientists. Even more unexpected was the democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's assurance that she could defeat him during the primaries. If she had been elected, she would have been the first woman to serve as president of the United States. We all know that America is a nation of opportunity. It can also be the nation where the unthinkable can occur. Despite all odds, Donald Trump has been in the White House since January 2017. The American dream has become a nightmare for some people. Between startling declarations, diplomatic initiatives, and venomous tweets, his presidency has always held surprises.But who is Donald Trump really? The naive gaffeur unaccustomed to the rules of politics or the eccentric billionaire who, in the post-truth era, finally tells things as they are?

We were immersed in our own self-destruction, which is why an attack in the middle of Europe took us off guard. A long period of cultural disarmament had come before the West's strategic disarmament. We must destroy our self-esteem, place the blame on ourselves, and punish ourselves in order to adhere to the dominant worldview, which the elites propagate through academia, the media, popular culture, and entertainment. We no longer have ideals to offer the world and the next generation; instead, this ideological dictatorship claims that we only have misdeeds to atone for. Western suicide would be this. The fact that the autocrats of the new imperial powers are aware of our self-sabotage is another result of Putin's aggression against Ukraine, which was supported by Xi Jinping.It is already happening in America, the cradle of an extreme experiment. This pamphlet is a guide to exploring the unfolding disaster; it is a warning and an alarm.Europeans still struggle to understand all the excesses of the United States, yet the contagion of the Old Continent has already begun. Fierce censorship against those who do not adhere to politically correct thinking dominates universities, the list of silenced, hunted, fired personalities is getting longer. Only ethnic and sexual minorities have rights to enforce; and no duty. Extreme environmentalism, a neo-pagan religion of our time, demonizes economic progress and predicts a future of painful sacrifices or the imminent Apocalypse.The billionaires of digital capitalism control the young people social networks have made their slaves. Political correctness serves as a catharsis for the radical chic elite. That partnership between financial capitalism and Big Tech planned a globalisation that decimated the working class and impoverished the middle class, resulting in legions of the fallen. It is the method to escape one's obligations. By supporting the fight for minorities and the environment, the unpunished world has now joined forces with the intellectual elites. The social quiz is dismissed. Mass disparities in wealth access no longer exist. There is only "one world to save" and a variety of sexual orientations or ethnicities to incite to seek restitution.In America this is the Gospel of the multinationals, in Hollywood and among the millionaire sports celebrities. In Europe, conformism has the seductive face of Greta Thunberg and Carola Rackete. The radical fringes don't need a mass consensus; they have learned to seduce the establishment, to hoard university professorships, to occupy the media. They can impose a new value system from above. Most of us suffer what is happening: we have not consented to suicide.

Ronald Reagan es elegido presidente de los Estados Unidos por abrumadora mayoría el 4 de noviembre de 1980. Es una avalancha: Jimmy Carter, el presidente saliente y demócrata, que se postulaba para la reelección, sufre una humillación como Ronnie, como le llaman sus amigos. , gana en 45 de los 50 estados. A pesar de las probabilidades, la elección de Reagan a la casa blanca fue recibida con sorpresa: ¿un ex actor de Hollywood muy conocido por los televidentes fue elegido para gobernar la superpotencia más poderosa del mundo? ¿Fue una apuesta arriesgada o un hecho adelantado a su tiempo?La de Ronald Wilson Reagan es en realidad una historia completamente estadounidense. Nacido en Tampico en 1911, en ese entonces un pueblito de Illinois, el pequeño "Dutch" -como lo apodan en la familia por las líneas regordetas de su rostro- creció en la región geográfica que es el corazón palpitante de las estrellas. y rayas nación, el Medio Oeste. El padre es un católico irlandés sin trabajo estable y con el vicio del alcohol, la madre una mujer muy religiosa, devota de la iglesia de los discípulos de Cristo. Después de graduarse en economía, Reagan llega a Hollywood casi por accidente y tiene una carrera digna en el mundo del cine, hasta que descubre la importancia del compromiso político, primero como presidente del sindicato de actores (gremio de actores de pantalla) y luego como gobernador de California de 1967 a 1975 en las filas del partido republicano, él que había sido simpatizante del demócrata Roosevelt en su juventud. La subida a la gran fiesta antigua ya estaba trazada.Cuarenta años después de que Ronald Reagan asumiera el cargo en la casa blanca, Jensen Cox dedica una biografía detallada y conmovedora al presidente más popular de la América moderna, llena de información, noticias y anécdotas.Si hoy se recuerda la década de los ochenta del siglo XX como una época feliz de bienestar y prosperidad económica, se debe precisamente a ese impulso de optimismo, pragmatismo y modernización que Reagan supo dar a Estados Unidos y en consecuencia a todos los países industrializados. naciones del oeste.Arquitecto, a nivel ideológico y cultural, de la "revolución conservadora" y antiestatista que caracterizó las últimas décadas del corto siglo, Reagan es también el presidente de los Estados Unidos que derrotó al comunismo soviético -y ganó la guerra fría-" sin disparar un tiro", como diría Margaret Thatcher. Ganándose un lugar en la historia para siempre.

Estábamos inmersos en nuestra propia autodestrucción, por eso un atentado en medio de Europa nos tomó desprevenidos. Un largo período de desarme cultural había precedido al desarme estratégico de Occidente. Debemos destruir nuestra autoestima, culparnos a nosotros mismos y castigarnos para adherirnos a la cosmovisión dominante, que las élites propagan a través de la academia, los medios de comunicación, la cultura popular y el entretenimiento. Ya no tenemos ideales que ofrecer al mundo ya la próxima generación; en cambio, esta dictadura ideológica afirma que solo tenemos fechorías que expiar. El suicidio occidental sería esto. El hecho de que los autócratas de las nuevas potencias imperiales sean conscientes de nuestro autosabotaje es otro resultado de la agresión de Putin contra Ucrania, que fue apoyada por Xi Jinping.Ya está ocurriendo en América, cuna de un experimento extremo. Este folleto es una guía para explorar el desastre que se desarrolla; es una advertencia y una alarma.A los europeos todavía les cuesta entender todos los excesos de Estados Unidos, pero el contagio del Viejo Continente ya ha comenzado. Censura feroz contra quienes no se adhieren al pensamiento políticamente correcto domina las universidades, la lista de personalidades silenciadas, perseguidas, despedidas es cada vez más larga. Solo las minorías étnicas y sexuales tienen derechos para hacer cumplir; y sin deber. El ecologismo extremo, religión neopagana de nuestro tiempo, sataniza el progreso económico y augura un futuro de dolorosos sacrificios o el inminente Apocalipsis.Los multimillonarios del capitalismo digital controlan a los jóvenes a los que las redes sociales han convertido en sus esclavos. La corrección política sirve como catarsis para la élite chic radical. Esa sociedad entre el capitalismo financiero y las Big Tech planeó una globalización que diezmó a la clase trabajadora y empobreció a la clase media, resultando en legiones de caídos. Es el método para escapar de las propias obligaciones. Al apoyar la lucha por las minorías y el medio ambiente, el mundo impune ahora se ha unido a las élites intelectuales. Se descarta el cuestionario social. Las disparidades masivas en el acceso a la riqueza ya no existen. Solo hay "un mundo para salvar" y una variedad de orientaciones sexuales o etnias para incitar a buscar restitución.En Estados Unidos este es el evangelio de las multinacionales, en Hollywood y entre los deportistas millonarios. En Europa, el conformismo tiene la cara seductora de Greta Thunberg y Carola Rackete. Las franjas radicales no necesitan un consenso de masas; han aprendido a seducir al establishment, a acaparar cátedras universitarias, a ocupar los medios de comunicación. Pueden imponer un nuevo sistema de valores desde arriba. La mayoría sufrimos lo que está pasando: no hemos consentido en suicidarnos.

Todos estaban sorprendidos por su victoria. Medios de comunicación, encuestadores, pensadores y politólogos. Aún más inesperado fue la seguridad de la candidata demócrata Hillary Clinton de que podría derrotarlo durante las primarias. Si hubiera sido elegida, habría sido la primera mujer en ocupar el cargo de presidenta de los Estados Unidos. Todos sabemos que Estados Unidos es una nación de oportunidades. También puede ser la nación donde puede ocurrir lo impensable. A pesar de todo, Donald Trump ha estado en la Casa Blanca desde enero de 2017. El sueño americano se ha convertido en una pesadilla para algunas personas. Entre declaraciones alarmantes, iniciativas diplomáticas y tuits venenosos, su presidencia siempre ha tenido sorpresas.Pero, ¿quién es realmente Donald Trump? ¿El ingenuo bromista poco acostumbrado a las reglas de la política o el excéntrico multimillonario que, en la era de la posverdad, finalmente cuenta las cosas como son?

There isn't a day that passes without someone bringing up China, yet both publicly and privately, the topic is frequently brought up using a basic narrative in which everything is black and white and the Celestial Empire is either completely wicked or the most effective location in the world. It is "superfluous" comments Jensen Cox "to underline how much both versions lead us astray".In this book, the author draws an essential map of a culture full of charm and, at the same time, profoundly different from ours. A compass that, bypassing the many clich? An enthralling journey of discovery that examines some of the most characteristic traits of the Asian giant: from the fascination of writing to the conception of society and time, from power "with Chinese characteristics" to the mechanisms that guide and determine foreign policy; and yet the pervasive influence of Confucianism and that of Daoism, the aspiration to "collective harmony" and the habit of "cinesizing" everything that the Dragon encounters on its way.Today's China a book-bridge that would like to avert the clash of civilizations for many now upon us. It is time to recognize that "the West needs China as much as China needs the West." On the horizon, "there is a very tiring job to do, a work of connection and weaving that can no longer be postponed, because without knowing and understanding one's interlocutor it is impossible to interact".

Is China really "close" as claimed in the title of a vintage arthouse movie? Jensen replies in his Dragon's Head, "No". It truly is a great distance away. Most importantly, it is unique. Because there are ten, one hundred, and thousand Chinas, the author, a sinologist who spent six years living in China, continues. When you explore them, it's like traveling through time, passing between isolated pre-industrial villages and cutting-edge smart cities where, while you're stuck at a stoplight on a moped, a drone might occasionally advise you to wear a helmet to avoid paying a large fine.Thanks to his work, Jensen was able to closely investigate the contradictions of this country and above all to see what has been defined as "the era of ambition" take shape and mature. Traveled by an unstoppable flow of energy, momentum and progress objectives, the Celestial Empire has in fact been able to transform itself and make the most of the advantages of globalization, in a dizzying ascent that has subverted geopolitical paradigms like never before.From the "New Mao" Xi Jinping to the challenge with the United States for global governance, from the Chinese Dream to the New Silk Road project, from the incredible technological innovations to the Hong Kong protests, the author takes us on an exciting journey through the today's China, clarifying stereotypes and reality, helping us to understand the present and the future of a country that is increasingly decisive on the global stage. In the new world order, for the first time we Westerners "have to deal with a different culture without our presupposing that we are better or superior to count or serve anything. A completely new scenario that requires listening, study, mutual understanding. It is a great challenge, the challenge of our time".

Once more, the world is set to alter. Americans picked the 46th president of the United States in one of the most closely contested elections in history at the conclusion of a year marked by unfathomable occurrences. The two new faces of the White House are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Tens of millions of people's hopes were sparked by their triumph, but they still face a difficult task. It will be intriguing to see how they attempt to lead the United States out of its most precarious situation in recent memory. Knowing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' White House will look like best comes from understanding who they are and what they have accomplished thus far. Because politics and power don't change people: they reveal them for who they are. Jensen Cox then draws a portrait of the new presidency by going through the extraordinary biographies of the two protagonists, and the moments that have marked their lives. From the 1972 election campaign, with which Joe Biden became the youngest United States senator, to the vice presidency alongside Barack Obama, from Kamala Harris' childhood in the West Coast African American ghettos to her career as a lawyer and prosecutor that l 'led her to write her name in American history even before she became the first woman, first person of color, and first Indian-American vice president of the United States of America. The victories, the defeats, the mistakes tell us something not only about the type of president and vice president who will rule the greatest world power, but also of the lessons they have learned throughout their lives, of how they have faced adversaries and obstacles. Above all, those victories, defeats and mistakes are representative "of a community that goes far beyond their people". Because "in their qualities and their limits, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris resemble America".

Ronald Reagan is overwhelmingly elected president of the United States on November 4, 1980. It's an avalanche: jimmy carter, the outgoing president and a democrat, who was running for re-election, suffers a humiliation as Ronnie, as his friends refer to him, wins in 45 of the 50 states. Despite the odds, Reagan's election to the white house was greeted with surprise: a former Hollywood actor who was well-known to television viewers was elected to rule the world's most powerful superpower? Was it a risky bet or an occurrence that was in advance of its time?Ronald Wilson Reagan's is actually an all-American story. Born in Tampico in 1911, at the time a tiny town in Illinois, little "Dutch" - as he is nicknamed in the family due to the chubby lines of his face - grew up in the geographical region which is the beating heart of the stars and stripes nation, the Midwest. The father is an Irish catholic without a stable job and with the vice of alcohol, the mother a very religious woman, devoted to the church of Christ's disciples. After graduating in economics, Reagan arrives in Hollywood almost by accident and has a decent career in the film world, until he discovers the importance of political commitment, first as president of the actor's union (screen actors guild) and then as governor of California from 1967 to 1975 in the ranks of the republican party, he who had been sympathetic to the democrat Roosevelt as a young man. The climb to the grand old party was now mapped out.Forty years after Ronald Reagan took office in the white house, Jensen cox dedicates a detailed and compelling biography to the most popular president of modern America, full of information, news and anecdotes.If today the eighties of the twentieth century are remembered as a happy season of well-being and economic prosperity, it is due precisely to that boost of optimism, pragmatism and modernization that Reagan was able to give to the United States and consequently to all industrialized nations of the west.Architect, on an ideological and cultural level, of the "conservative revolution" and anti-statist that characterized the last decades of the short century, Reagan is also the president of the United States who defeated soviet communism - and won the cold war - "without firing a shot ", as Margaret thatcher was to say. Earning himself a place in history forever.

Why don't we understand the gun debate that is inflaming American opinion? Historian Jensen Cox explains its origins and current events to us. Every year, mass killings plunge the United States into horror. And yet, the freedom to be armed is a fundamental right, based on the sacrosanct second amendment to the constitution, which is supported by a majority of Americans: the powerful national rifle association, peaceful mothers, hunters, sports shooters, all those who want to defend themselves against possible attacks, who trust neither their police nor federal institutions. This is disputed, with solid arguments, by supporters of arms control. The debate divides the country, just like abortion, the death penalty and immigration. It holds an even more important place than the opposition between democrats and republicans. It arouses controversy in the religious, academic and political worlds. In a word, it immerses us in the heart of American culture, so close and so different from ours.
