Book excerpt: In a probing look at the myths of American culture that led us into the Vietnam quagmire, Loren Baritz exposes our national illusions: the conviction of our moral supremacy, our assumption that Americans are more idealistic than other people, and our faith in a technology that supposedly makes us invincible.

Book excerpt: David Chalmers, the leading historian of the Ku Klux Klan, brings the story of America's oldest terrorist society up to date. Chalmers skillfully shows how Klan violence actually aided the civil rights movement of the 1960s and revolutionized the role of the national government in the protection of civil rights. He follows the forty-year struggle to punish Klan murderers through the courts of Alabama, Georgia, and the U.S. Supreme Court, and how Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center finally found a way to bring the Klan down.

Book Synopsis You Are Now Less Dumb by : David McRaney
Download or read book You Are Now Less Dumb written by David McRaney and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the bestselling You Are Not So Smart shares more discoveries about self-delusion and irrational thinking, and gives readers a fighting chance at outsmarting their not-so-smart brains David McRaney’s first book, You Are Not So Smart, evolved from his wildly popular blog of the same name. A mix of popular psychology and trivia, McRaney’s insights have struck a chord with thousands, and his blog--and now podcasts and videos--have become an Internet phenomenon. Like You Are Not So Smart, You Are Now Less Dumb is grounded in the idea that we all believe ourselves to be objective observers of reality--except we’re not. But that’s okay, because our delusions keep us sane. Expanding on this premise, McRaney provides eye-opening analyses of fifteen more ways we fool ourselves every day, including: The Misattribution of Arousal (Environmental factors have a greater affect on our emotional arousal than the person right in front of us) Sunk Cost Fallacy (We will engage in something we don’t enjoy just to make the time or money already invested “worth it”) Deindividuation (Despite our best intentions, we practically disappear when subsumed by a mob mentality) McRaney also reveals the true price of happiness, why Benjamin Franklin was such a badass, and how to avoid falling for our own lies. This smart and highly entertaining book will be wowing readers for years to come.
Book Synopsis When School Policies Backfire by : Michael A. Gottfried
Download or read book When School Policies Backfire written by Michael A. Gottfried and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When School Policies Backfire focuses on education policies designed to help disadvantaged students that instead had the perverse effect of exacerbating the very problems they were intended to solve. The book features rigorous case studies addressing important areas of education reform, and shows how and why each intervention backfired. It offers a sobering reminder of the responsibility that policy makers and researchers bear for the well-being of our most vulnerable students. "When School Policies Backfire provides readers with powerful examples that illustrate how well-intentioned policies often 'backfire' and produce unintended consequences that undermine the intent of the policy. Readers will be reminded that if we really seek to improve public education, good intentions are just not good enough." --Pedro A. Noguera, distinguished professor of education, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, University of California, Los Angeles "Highly readable, and rich with diverse examples, this terrific volume fills a gap in the literature on policy implementation in education. Gottfried and Conchas have assembled a fascinating set of thought-provoking case studies, and succeed in teasing out some important lessons." --Dominic Brewer, Gale and Ira Drukier Dean, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University "With the signing of ESSA, this book provides an important and timely discussion on some things to avoid in the rush to get it right--namely, policies that may backfire. When School Policies Backfire shows how efforts to rescue kids often ended up doing the opposite. School leaders can learn much from this important and groundbreaking work." --Carl A. Cohn, executive director, California Collaborative for Educational Excellence Michael A. Gottfried is an associate professor at the Gevirtz School's Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Gilberto Q. Conchas is a professor of educational policy and social context at the University of California, Irvine. Amanda Datnow is a professor of education studies and associate dean of the Division of Social Sciences at the University of California, San Diego.
Download or read book Backlash written by Helen Raleigh and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time one finishes reading this penetrating book of history, politics, and public health, the very real COVID-19 crisis of 2020 becomes a metaphor for China's quest for hegemony. Helen Raleigh shows how Communist China, like the virus that began there, has spread its influence aggressively around the world. She begins with China's suppression of people within its own borders. She then shows how China has asserted geopolitical influence in the neighboring South China Sea region and across the whole world, through the use of subtle and not-so-subtle tactics, as it attempts to become the most powerful nation on earth. She concludes, however, that the Chinese aggression has backfired, as much of the rest of the world, especially powerful nations like the United States, though initially caught off guard, have begun a retaliation against China's aggression and mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak. Helen Raleigh is a recognized American entrepreneur, writer and speaker. She is a senior contributor to The Federalist. Her writings have also appeared in various national media, including The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and National Review. She is the author of several books, including her award-winning autobiography, Confucius Never Said. Equally important is the fact that she was born in China and has first-handedly experienced dramatic cultural and political changes in modern Chinese history. She retains the unique perspective of having both immersed in Chinese culture and thrived in the Western, and illuminates both intimately in the text. This book behooves every thinking American to better understand China's place in the world, as well as China's ambitions and strategies to achieve its Sino-centric goals.
Download or read book Wrong Way written by Damien Cahill and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, waves of neoliberal ‘economic reform’ have transformed Australia. Privatisation, deregulation, marketisation and the contracting out of government services: for three decades now, there has been widespread agreement among policymakers on the desirability of these strategies. But the benefits of economic reform are increasingly being questioned. Alongside growing voter disenchantment, new voices of dissent argue that instead of efficiency and improved services, economic reform has led to unaccountable oligopolies, increased prices, reduced productivity and degradation of the public good. In Wrong Way, Australia’s leading economists and public intellectuals do a cost–benefit analysis of economic reform across key areas. Have these reforms been worthwhile for the Australian community and its economy? Have they given us a better society, as promised? ‘Has privatisation led to more productivity-enhancing competition? Has deregulation increased economic welfare in energy, finance, health, education and labour markets? Does the lived experience of Australians measure up to the promise of economic reform? The authors answer these questions with conclusions that are both compelling and disturbing.’——Emeritus professor Roy Green, University of Technology Sydney Damien Cahill & Phillip Toner on Economic Reform Stephen Duckett on Private Health Insurance Elizabeth Hill & Matt Wade on Early Childhood Education And Care Phillip Toner on Vocational Education And Training Jane Andrew & Max Baker on Prisons Bob Davidson on Aged Care Paul Davies on Public Sector Engineering Sue Olney & Wilma Gallet on Employment Services John Quiggin on Electricity Jim Stanford on Labour Markets Evan Jones on Banking Peter Phibbs & Nicole Gurran on Housing Lee Ridge on The NBN Ben Spies-Butcher & Gareth Bryant on Universities Michael Beggs on Monetary Policy And Unemployment John Quiggin on Productivity Peter Brain on Orthodox Economic Models Patricia Ranald on Free Trade David Richardson on Foreign Investment Frank Stilwell on Inequality
Book Synopsis When Blame Backfires by : Anne Marie Baylouny
Download or read book When Blame Backfires written by Anne Marie Baylouny and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent influx of Syrian refugees into Jordan and Lebanon has stimulated domestic political action against these countries' governments. This is the dramatic argument at the heart of Anne Marie Baylouny's When Blame Backfires. Baylouny examines the effects on Jordan and Lebanon of hosting huge numbers of Syrian refugees. How has the populace reacted to the real and perceived negative effects of the refugees? In thought-provoking analysis, Baylouny shows how the demographic changes that result from mass immigration put stress on existing problems in these two countries, worsening them to the point of affecting daily lives. One might expect that, as a result, refugees and minorities would become the focus of citizen anger. But as When Blame Backfires demonstrates, this is not always the case. What Baylouny exposes, instead, is that many of the problems that might be associated with refugees are in fact endemic to the normal routine of citizens' lives. The refugee crisis exacerbated an already dire situation rather than created it, and Jordanians and Lebanese started to protest not only against the presence of refugees but against the incompetence and corruption of their own governments as well. From small-scale protests about goods and public services, citizens progressed to organized and formal national movements calling for economic change and rights to public services not previously provided. This dramatic shift in protest and political discontent was, Baylouny shows, the direct result of the arrival of Syrian refugees.
Download or read book Back Fire written by Alan Clark and published by Phoenix House. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Clark was passionate about cars from an early age. He bought his first car - a secondhand 6.5 litre Bentley - while still a schoolboy at Eton and without a driving licence. By the time he was 24 he had been banned from driving three times, not only for speeding but in one instance for driving an open Buick Roadster with a girl on his lap. He dealt in 'classic' and vintage cars and soon built up an impressive stable of his own. One of his first published pieces of journalism appeared in the US magazine, Road and Track, for which he was briefly UK correspondent. BACK FIRE, the title of a column he wrote in Thoroughbred and Classic Cars magazine, ran for three years until his death in September 1999. Alan Clark's elder son, James Clark - who has inherited his father's motoring enthusiasms - provides a Prologue; Alan Clark's widow Jane writes a moving Afterword.
