Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An investigative narrative revealing how smartphones, deregulation, and pandemic isolation turned America's pastime into its newest addiction.The House Always Wins traces the rise of legal sports betting from a fringe hobby to a $120-billion-a-year industry, reshaping how Americans watch, wager, and lose. Economist and health policy analyst Roger Bate explores how pandemic isolation, relentless digital marketing, and permissive state policy created a perfect storm of opportunity and risk. Bate draws on original surveys, field interviews, and international case studies to reveal how betting moved from racetracks to smartphonesand how a culture built on self-control began to mistake speed for freedom. From suburban bars to billion-dollar platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel, The House Always Wins uncovers the moral and economic contradictions of a market built on human weakness and where over 95 percent of participants lose, some catastrophically. Bate argues that the challenge isn't whether people should gamble, but whether a democracy can manage risk at the speed of an app. Combining investigative reportage with humane insight, this book exposes the hidden arithmetic behind America's newest public-health crisis. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A powerful, deeply human portrait of the parents, educators, and innovators who are defying the oddsand the systemto give America's children a real future.Twelve extraordinary people. Twelve completely different origin stories. One unifying outcome. Some were teachers. Some were entrepreneurs. Some were pastors, parents, innovators, business leaders, or unlikely reformers. None set out to become heroes. Yet each confronted a problem that others accepted as inevitableand chose to do something about it. In The Education Avengers, Jeanne Allen tells the stories of twelve remarkable individuals who transformed the lives of children and communities by refusing to accept the status quo. Their journeys reveal how courage, purpose, persistence, and hope can overcome seemingly impossible obstacles.

At its core, it is a story about human flourishing, joy, and purpose.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The narrative war against Israel since October 7: Why it threatens Western civilization-and how you can help fight back.Israel's enemies declared war on October 7, 2023, knowing they could significantly weaken the Jewish state ahead of a future multifront existential war by baiting it into self-inflicted PR damage. Since that dreadful morning, the media battlefield has become progressively more difficult as the world increasingly forgets the attempted genocide Israelis endured. Discover how the blood libels and spiraling global antisemitism were all part of a calculated plan.The 'Blood Libel Machine' is a well-financed, expertly organized effort to demonize Israel-plan strategized for decades by a powerful, clandestine global cabal consisting of Hamas terrorists and sympathizers guided primarily from Qatar. The Machine relies on loyal agents placed within Western media outlets, allied organizations, NGOs, and even the UN to implement its hateful, antisemitic propaganda campaign. And it has been successful beyond their wildest dreams.Written by The Jerusalem Post's chief political correspondent of a quarter century, this book provides behind-the-scenes insight into the intense, fateful warfare that will continue long after the last Israeli soldier has returned from the front. It also offers practical steps you can take in this information war to help ensure that the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust never happens again.'The Blood Libel Machine takes us to one of the most important battlefields Israel has faced since October 7: the battle on social media for truth, public opinion, and Israel's legitimacy. As an active participant on this front, Gil Hoffman offers a compelling insider's perspective.' - Natan Sharansky'The battle for Israel's image in the press proved in many ways decisive, and The Blood Libel Machine shows us why, how, and what all those who care about Israel's security can do about it.' - Michael Oren'This must-read book provides an accurate insider's perspective into American Jewry, which was just as unprepared for the horrible October surprise, along with practical steps I hope readers will use and internalize to-slowly but surely-make things better.' - Nachman Shai'In a world polluted with lies, amid a media storm singling out Israel, Gil Hoffman stands up courageously-and stands out thoughtfully.This timely book teaches how to see through and refute media libels and social media distortions-for all our sakes.' - Gil Troy.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Through whispered prayers and letters to a man she had yet to meet, God wrote a love story far bigger than Hannah could have ever imagined.At first glance this may seem like a typical boy-meets-girl love story. But it goes far deeper than that. Hannah Cook longed deeply for love, yet kept searching for it in all the wrong places. She craved a storybook romance, the kind she heard about in fairy tales, but what she didn't realize was that she was actually seeking a love far greater than that. Through relationship after relationship, heartbreak after heartbreak, Hannah found herself wrestling with purpose, insecurity, waiting, and the quiet fear that the love she desired was something that would never happen. Then one simple moment flipped her world upside down. On her bedroom floor, with hot tears and mascara running down her cheeks, she whispered a quiet prayer of surrender that changed everything. What felt like a breaking point became a turning pointthis simple act of crying out to God would alter the trajectory of her life in ways she never could have imagined. After that moment, not only did her life begin to change but so did her heart. Instead of chasing after relationships, she began praying and writing letters for a man she had yet to meet, asking God to take the pen and write her love story the way He intended. In doing so, God wrote a story for Hannah's life that was far greater than she could have imagined for herself, and discovered a love far deeper than the one she had once been chasing.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - As featured in The Jerusalem PostThirteen leading scholars examine the eruption of antisemitism on university campuses in the wake of October 7 and its devastating impact on Jewish students, faculty, staff, and the mission of higher education itself In the wake of the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, campuses across America and Europe became flashpoints for a crisis that goes far beyond protest. Within hours of the October 7 Hamas attack, student groups blamed Israel for its own victimization, and within months, 'Gaza Solidarity' encampments had spread to more than 150 colleges and universities. Jewish students, faculty, and staff were harassed, excluded, and threatened. Some faculty fueled the fire, and administrations were unprepared for the developing tumult.In this essential collection, thirteen distinguished scholars from the United States, Europe, and Israel lay bare what, how, and why it happened. They trace the ideological roots of campus anti-Zionism, document its impact on Jewish life at institutions from Harvard to Humboldt University, and expose how foreign funding, faculty radicalism, and institutional apathy have corrupted the educational mission of the modern university. Toward the Last Encampment is both a reckoning and a call to action.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A groundbreaking investigation offering a definitive plan for recognizing and overcoming intimate partner violence and the breadth of its impact.Loving You Shouldn't Be Hurting Me: Psychological Abuse and Its Effects on Physical and Mental Health is dedicated to women worldwide, of whom nearly half in the United States (or approximately 57.6 million women) have experienced psychological aggression. This invisible cruelty is the underpinning for all other forms of mistreatment, making it the most difficult obstacle from which to recover. Moreover, clinical research indicates that subtle psychological abuse inflicts the most devastating damage. This book addresses the global crisis head-on.Anyone trapped in an unhealthy, toxic, or controlling relationship will find a clear path forward in this book, whether the relationship is ongoing, long over, or rooted in childhood trauma. Those who have experienced physical or mental health symptoms as a result of this chronic manipulation will find immediate validation and a comprehensive roadmap on how to truly heal the mind, body, and spirit. While statistics show women are more likely to experience the adverse physical and emotional effects of abuse-and are historically more likely to seek out self-help resources-this work is inclusive of all kinds of trauma. Drawing on a career that has been devoted to helping all survivors heal, Dr. Neal also explicitly addresses how men and children are impacted by the sweeping devastation of psychological abuse.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fired for his Christian beliefs and vindicated in federal court, a fire department chaplain traces how a free country teaches its citizens to stop thinking-and calls for the courage to speak truth in an age that rewards only applause.Andrew K. Fox chose this country. He came to the United States in 1999, became a citizen, and spent eight years serving as a volunteer chaplain for the Austin Fire Department-until a personal blog post about his Christian convictions cost him a role he was never even paid for. The case that followed, Fox v. City of Austin, took four years, cost his legal defenders roughly $800,000, and ended in the vindication of his First Amendment rights.In Truth in the Age of Applause, Fox turns that fight into something larger than his own story. Drawing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's concept of 'stupidity'-not a failure of intelligence, but a surrender of independent judgment to whatever framework promises safety and approval-Fox traces the quiet, reasonable-sounding steps by which harm gets redefined, protection turns into enforcement, and perception replaces truth as the standard for what may be said. None of it requires malice. It requires only that people stop asking whether something is true and start asking whether it will be applauded.Chapter by chapter, Fox shows how silence becomes normal, then codified, then enforced-and how an entire culture can talk itself out of the capacity to think, one small accommodation at a time. But he also makes the case for the discipline of confrontation-grounded in both constitutional principle and Christian conviction-the courage to speak clearly when speaking costs something.Part legal drama, part cultural diagnosis, part call to conscience, Truth in the Age of Applause is for readers who sense that something in American discourse has quietly gone wrong-and want the vocabulary and the nerve to say so.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An examination of the class roots of Jewish anti-Zionism and anti-Israel activism, revealing how it ultimately fosters self-hatred and self-destruction.In an era of rising antisemitism, a troubling phenomenon has emerged: Some of the most vocal apologists for hatred of Jews and Israel are Jews themselves. In Jews of Privilege, author Benjamin Kerstein investigates this striking and unsettling trend, exposing an affluent, insulated elite at the top of American Jewry's unspoken class system.These Jews of privilege, he argues, are detached from and often disdainful of their fellow Jews, acting-knowingly or not-as defenders of those who wish them harm. Drawing on two decades of life in Israel and his own experiences as an American-born outsider to this privileged world, Kerstein presents a penetrating portrait of an elite that is destroying itself from within. Part social critique, part personal memoir, Jews of Privilege is a provocative and timely exploration of class, identity, and betrayal within the Jewish experience today.'An eloquent and impassioned defense of the 'non-privileged Jews' who built Zionism and the Jewish state-and a provocative indictment of the Jewish elites who oppose them even today.' - David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters'Benjamin Kerstein has written a very brave and wildly enlightening book. There is an internal class war to be won, and Kerstein is quite certain who must claim victory.' - Thane Rosenbaum, author of Beyond Proportionality'In this important and insightful book Benjamin Kerstein points to the manner in which just a few decades of fragile privilege have led many Jews to lose the muscle memory of what it means to be Jewish. After reading this book, it should become much harder for those observing this phenomenon to mistake privilege for principle.' - Einat Wilf, author of Teaching Zionism and Wartime Writings.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Islam fails both individuals and societies, yet non-Muslims keep making excuses for it.As a set of ideas for the ordering of the lives of individuals and societies, Islam has proven to be a singular failure. Aside from the accident of geology that has provided them with oil wealth, Islamic states are generally economic basket cases and serial violators of human rights. All too many converts to Islam end up turning to terrorism. Yet in the face of these truths, which historian and Islam expert Robert Spencer definitively establishes here, it has become a cultural habit in the non-Muslim West to retreat into fantasies and tout glories of Islam that are more imagined than real. These widely disseminated falsehoods have created the cultural context for the fad of conversions to Islam that swept TikTok in the wake of the Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, and widely believed falsehoods regarding an Islamic Golden Age and Muslim inventions of the past.Often, these fantasies are handsomely subsidized, even government-sponsored endeavors. The Western governments that pour money into these endeavors hoping that they will lead to an eradication of 'Islamophobia' are ignoring the real problem: Islam's failure breeds fanaticism and intolerance, as Spencer explains in detail. He demonstrates that if the failure and tragedy of Islam is not faced honestly, the same pattern of societal destruction and decay that swept over much of the Islamic world will bring down Western civilization as well.Spencer's findings will infuriate the woke and blinkered-but they will find them impossible to refute.…
