Hardback. Condizione: Good. This trenchant analysis examines the many ways our society's increasingly tenuous commitment to facts laid the groundwork for Donald Trump's rise to power.Award-winning journalist Nathan Bomey argues that Trump did not usher the post-truth era into being. He was its inevitable outcome. Bomey points to recent trends that have created the perfect seedbed for spin, distortion, deception, and bald-faced lies: shifting news habits, the rise of social media, the spread of entrenched ideologies, and the failure of schools to teach basic critical-thinking skillsThe evidence supporting the author's argument is all around us: On Facebook, we present images of our lives that ignore the truth and intentionally deceive our friends and family. We consume fake news stories online and carelessly circulate false rumors. In politics, we vote for leaders who leverage political narratives that favor ideology over science. And in our schools, we fail to teach students how to authenticate information.After the Fact explores how the convergence of technology, politics, and media has ushered in the misinformation age, sidelining the truth and threatening our core principle of community.…

The Inevitable Rise of the Shero NationWomen come in all sizes, shapes, colors We have different upbringings, religious beliefs, political affiliations, and life experiences. The one thing that we all have in common is that we are all women and we all face similar challenges as we strive to make our voices heard and break down barriers of gender inequality. This book, The Inevitable Rise of the Shero Nation uncovers some of the most notorious of silent adversaries that we relentlessly battle. As of today, we shadow box with these enemies as most are unaware of their existence and the weapons that they use against us. What is a shero? A shero is a woman who sets out every day to be the best that she can be for herself, her family, and for her community. A woman who will fight to the end for what she believes in and who she is accountable to. Sheroes of the past, present and future shine a bright light on our journey through this evolution. The wonderful women that have bonded together supported each other and were there for each other to reflect no less than God himself reaching down his hand and putting it into the mix of this evolution. Let us not tear each other down. Though we may not understand each other or even agree with each other, as fellow sheroes united, we will tear down gender barriers together The Inevitable Rise of the Shero Nation uncovers some of the most notorious, silent adversaries that we have relentlessly battled over the ages.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The year 1968 retains its mythic hold on the imagination in America and around the world. Like the revolutionary years 1789, 1848, 1871, 1917, and 1989, it is recalled most of all as a year when revolution beckoned or threatened. On the 50th anniversary of that tumultuous year, cultural historians Robert Cottrell and Blaine T. Browne provide a well-informed, up-to-date synthesis of the events that rocked the world, emphasizing the revolutionary possibilities more fully than previous books. For a time, it seemed as if anything were possible, that utopian visions could be borne out in the political, cultural, racial, or gender spheres. It was the year of the Tet Offensive, the Resistance, the Ultra-Resistance, the New Politics, Chavez and RFK breaking bread, LBJ's withdrawal, student revolt, barricades in Paris, the Prague Spring, SDS' sharp turn leftward, communes, the American Indian Movement, the Beatles' Revolution, the Stones' Street Fighting Man, The Population Bomb, protest at the Miss America pageant, and Black Power at the Mexico City Olympics. 1968 was also the year of My Lai, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, Warsaw Pact tanks in Czechoslovakia, the police riot in Chicago, the Tlatelolco massacre, Reagan's belated bid, Wallace's American Independent Party campaign, Love It or Leave It, and the backlash that set the stage, at year's end, for Richard Milhous Nixon's ascendancy to the White House. For those readers reliving 1968 or exploring it for the first time, Cottrell and Browne serve as insightful guides, weaving the events together into a powerful narrative of an America and a world on the brink.…
