A definitive history of ideas about land redistribution, allied political movements, and their varied consequences around the world “An epic work of breathtaking scope and moral power, The Long Land War offers the definitive account of the rise and fall of land rights around the world over the last 150 years.” —Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City Jo Guldi tells the story of a global struggle to bring food, water, and shelter to all. Land is shown to be a central motor of politics in the twentieth century: the basis of movements for giving reparations to formerly colonized people, protests to limit the rent paid by urban tenants, intellectual battles among development analysts, and the capture of land by squatters taking matters into their own hands. The book describes the results of state-engineered “land reform” policies beginning in Ireland in 1881 until U.S.-led interests and the World Bank effectively killed them off in 1974. The Long Land War provides a definitive narrative of land redistribution alongside an unflinching critique of its failures, set against the background of the rise and fall of nationalism, communism, internationalism, information technology, and free-market economics. In considering how we could make the earth livable for all, she works out the important relationship between property ownership and justice on a changing planet.
"It's like a mashup of Hunger Games, Harry Potter, and the Iron Druid Chronicles, with a pinch of Doctor Who for flavor." Some kids are born in a tangle. At sixteen years old, Sawyer Jackson hasn’t seen much beyond his grandparents' remote home, until one day he's transported to the Long Land -- a strange world where everything he knows is turned upside down, and everyone he loves is suddenly in a lot of trouble. Sawyer discovers that he's a Teth -- an ancient bloodline that can see and manipulate the knotwork that weaves all of reality together. Now he’s on the run from an enraged god, fighting vicious monsters and overcoming impossible challenges, and struggling every minute just to survive. Sawyer could be the hero that saves everyone and everything in existence. But who's going to save him? ˃˃˃ See what reviewers are saying about Kevin Tumlinson-- "There was something so fascinating about this story and the cast of characters he put together." -- Leah Petersen, Author of "Fighting Gravity" "This well written science fiction story will capture your interest on page one and won't let go until you finish.
