Download or read book The First Domino written by Johanna Cushing Granville and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fascinating Analysis Based on Newly Declassified Documents from the Former USSR and Communist Bloc On October 23-24 and November 3-4, 1956, the Soviet Union invaded Hungary to reassert strict communist rule. The First Domino: International Decision Making during the Hungarian Crisis of 1956 is the first analytical monograph in English drawing on new archival collections from East bloc countries to reinterpret decision making during this Cold War crisis. Johanna Granville selects four key patterns of misperception as laid out by Columbia University political scientist Robert Jervis and shows how these patterns prevailed in the military crackdown and in other countries' reactions to it. Granville perceptively examines the statements and actions of Soviet Presidium members, the Hungarian leadership, U.S. policy makers, and even Yugoslav and Polish leaders. According to Granville, Soviet first secretary Nikita Khrushchev zigzagged ineptly between policy options with apparently little or no analysis of costs and risks, permitting Moscow's Eastern European satellites at times to subtly manipulate the Kremlin's decision making. Granville's discussions of Polish policy, Yugoslav actions, and the arduous process of normalization after the uprising show that the Soviets were preoccupied with stemming what many of them construed as a Western-encouraged attempt to undermine Eastern Europe's communist regimes. Granville concludes that the United States bears some responsibility for the events of 1956, as ill-advised U.S. covert actions may have convinced the Soviet leaders that the United States was attempting to weaken Soviet hegemony over Eastern Europe, although the Eisenhower administration actually intended only to sow confusion and dissatisfaction. This masterful study leads to the conclusion that the Hungarian Crisis in 1956 was most likely sustained by self-perpetuating misperceptions and suspicions among key countries. In short, Granville's multi-archival research tends to confirm the post-revisionists' theory about the cold war: it was everyone's fault and no one's fault. It resulted from the emerging bipolar structure of the international system, the power vacuum in Europe's center, and spiraling misconceptions.

Download or read book The Domino Effect written by Tim Lewis and published by Gospel Advocate Company. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do dominos have to do with life-changing decisions? More than you might think. However, choosing the first domino is crucial. If you base every decision on the Word of God, then one good decision will lead to the next; it's a domino effect. But bear in mind that the process also works in reverse. If a person refuses to make Bible-based decisions, it is a negative version of the domino effect - a chain reaction that leads from bad to worse. God has blessed you with the freedom of choice. If you are really writing your life story one day and one decision at a time, then you have the power to determine how your story ends. But everything hinges on tipping the first domino. Make sure it falls in the right direction. Tim Lewis, a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, has a bachelor's degree in English education and a master's degree in ministry. He served as the preacher/youth minister for the Mt. Vernon Church of Christ in Mt. Vernon, Mo., for eight years before moving to Oklahoma City to begin his work with the North MacArthur congregation in 2004. He and his wife, Tawni, have two daughters, Macy and Callie, and one son, Ryder.

About the book For those who play seriously, no game compares to dominoes. It's easy to learn but difficult to master. Its rules are simple and elegant but its complexity runs deep. It lets you nerd out but it makes you feel cool. It rewards logic and creativity. When you watch people who love dominoes playing, you see people who are at once having a great time - laughing, joking, smiling - and deadly serious, like nothing matters more in the whole world than the hand at play. Unfortunately, it's hard to just figure out the finer points of the game by playing other beginners. If you ask a good domino player how they learned, almost all of them credit a mentor of some kind, be it a grandparent or neighbor. This book is the first attempt to capture and share how advanced players think about the game so players who want to level up at least have a road map to follow. Through a mix of principles, checklists, and turn-by-turn breakdowns, this book will bring you inside the mind of an elite player to help you win more, have more fun, and talk better trash. Travis Newsome is a 3-time world champion dominoes player who has spent more than 40 years as a domino educator, organizer, and competitor. Travis spent most of his career in Kansas City and currently lives in Chicago. Trevor Born is a writer, musician, and halfway decent dominoes player in Minneapolis. He's a co-founder of the Six Dot Domino Club. Cover art by Paul Novak.
