Beschreibung

First Ladies Legacy explores the evolving role of First Ladies in American history, demonstrating how these women have significantly shaped the presidency despite holding no formal constitutional power. The book delves into their individual lives, public achievements, and the impact they've had on the nation's political and social landscape. It reveals how the position, originating informally with Martha Washington, has transformed into an increasingly prominent role, with some First Ladies, such as Eleanor Roosevelt, becoming influential political figures in their own right.

 
The book progresses chronologically, examining key periods and the First Ladies who defined them, from the Civil War era challenges faced by Mary Todd Lincoln to the social reforms championed by Edith Roosevelt during the Progressive Era. It analyzes their backgrounds, motivations, initiatives, and impact, using primary sources and quantitative data to assess their effectiveness and public reception. This approach highlights how First Ladies have navigated societal expectations, political pressures, and personal ambitions to leave lasting marks on policy, diplomacy, and public perception.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive and balanced assessment, moving beyond simple portrayals to explore the complexities and contradictions inherent in their position. By acknowledging the limitations of their power while highlighting their agency, the book offers a new lens through which to understand the American story and the changing dynamics of gender, power, and public service.

Not Exactly Lying - Fake News...

Andie Tucher

Long before the current preoccupation with "fake news," American newspapers routinely ran stories that were not quite, strictly speaking, true. Today, a firm boundary between fact and fakery is a hallmark of journalistic practice, yet for many readers and publishers across more than three centuries, this distinction has seemed slippery or even irrelevant. From fibs in America's first newspaper about royal incest to social media-driven conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birthplace, Andie Tucher explores how American audiences have argued over what's real and what's not and why that matters for democracy. 
 
 
 
Around the start of the twentieth century, journalists who were determined to improve the reputation of their craft established professional norms and the goal of objectivity. However, Tucher argues, the creation of outward forms of factuality unleashed new opportunities for falsehood: News doesn't have to be true as long as it looks true. Propaganda, disinformation, and advocacy—whether in print, on the radio, on television, or online—could be crafted to resemble the real thing. This "fake journalism" became inextricably bound up with right-wing politics, to the point where it has become an essential driver of political polarization. This book is a timely consideration of what happens to public life when news is not exactly true.

How to Focus - A Monastic Guide...

John Cassian, Jamie Kreiner

Distraction isn't a new problem. We're also not the first to complain about how hard it is to concentrate. Early Christian monks beat us to it. They had given up everything to focus on God, yet they still struggled to keep the demons of distraction at bay. But rather than surrender to the meandering of their minds, they developed powerful strategies to improve their attention and engagement. How to Focus is an inviting collection of their strikingly relatable insights and advice—frank, funny, sympathetic, and psychologically sophisticated. 
 
 
 
This wisdom is drawn from John Cassian's Collationes, one of the most influential manuals for monks from late antiquity. The Collationes follow Cassian and his friend Germanus as they travel around Egypt, asking a series of sage monks how they can make their minds stronger. In response, these monks offer a range of techniques for increasing focus, including setting goals, training the body, managing the memory, using mantras, taking breaks, consulting others—and, most of all, being honest about yourself. As Cassian and Germanus eventually realize, we can't escape distraction—but we can learn how to confront it and, eventually, to concentrate. 
 
 
 
Featuring an engaging new translation by Jamie Kreiner, How to Focus can help even the least monkish of us to train our attention on what matters most.

Artificial Intelligent Future

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

The days of a secure and peaceful future are over. Man is on the brink of a new world filled with danger, adventure, and a potential threat from an artificial intelligence unlike anything ever seen.

The world we live in is on the cusp of a dangerous new era: the emergence of intelligent artificial systems, or “agents”, that will profoundly reshape humanity’s relationship with technology. We will explore the murky landscape ahead, and seek to uncover the future of mankind’s relationship with these revolutionary new technologies.

Advancements in artificial intelligence are happening faster than ever before, and with them comes a potential risk unseen in the history of digital technology. We explore the implications of this rapid development, from extreme wealth disparity to cyber–security threats, and examine how these systems might impact the lives of citizens everywhere. At the center of this book stands the ethical dilemma posed by these agents: how can we ensure that our choices respect and protect our values, interests, and communities?

This is just the beginning. As we venture deeper into this new, complex, and sometimes intimidating world, you will witness stunning stories of amazing innovations and emerging opportunities that promise to change our lives forever. From artificial intelligence and its associated robotic hardware, to the advocates and opponents of these remarkable creations, this book promises to be an eye-opening exploration of the world that’s to come.
