Andrei Lankov has gone where few outsiders have ever been A native of the former Soviet Union he lived as an exchange student in North Korea in the 1980s He has studied it for his entire career using his fluency in Korean & personal contacts to build a rich nuanced understanding In The Real North Korea Lankov substitutes cold clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state After providing an accessible history of the nation he turns his focus to what North Korea is what its leadership thinks & how its people cope with living in such an oppressive & poor place He argues that North Korea is not irrational & nothing shows this better than its continuing survival against all odds A living political fossil it clings to existence in the face of limited resources & a zombie economy manipulating great powers despite its weakness Its leaders are not ideological zealots or madmen but perhaps the best practitioners of Machiavellian politics that can be found in the modern world Even though they preside over a failed state they have successfully used diplomacy-including nuclear threats-to extract support from other nations But while the people in charge have been ruthless & successful in holding on to power Lankov goes on to argue that this cannot continue forever since the old system is slowly falling apart In the long run with or without reform the regime is unsustainable Lankov contends that reforms if attempted will trigger a dramatic implosion of the regime They will not prolong its existence Based on vast expertise this book reveals how average North Koreans live how their leaders rule & how both survive ...

With his trademark mix of humor well-researched facts & artistry Kevin Mc Closkey delivers the straight poop on these humble creatures which turn out to becoo coo COOL! Kevin Mc Closkey who teaches illustration at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania learned about pigeons from Vinnie Torre one of Hoboken’s last pigeon racers He dedicated this book to his children even if his daughter is a little skittish on the subject since a flock of pigeons descended on the family during a visit to London’s Trafalgar Square He says he considered painting the pictures here on roofing material (because pigeons flock to roofs) but settled instead for painting on a pigeon-blue Fabriano paper the kind used by Picasso Meet the Author Kevin Mc Closkey Kevin Mc Closkey teaches illustration at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania ...
