Sinopse

Great Depression explores the multifaceted causes and profound consequences of the 1930s economic crisis across the Americas. This book examines how pre-existing economic vulnerabilities, amplified by policy choices and the stock market crash, led to unprecedented economic hardship. It highlights governmental actions like the New Deal and shifts in international trade policies that shaped the era's economic landscape. A unique aspect of this book is its comparative analysis of various countries in the Americas, revealing common threads and divergences in their responses to the crisis.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of the 1920s, then analyzing the economic devastation, including the collapse of industries and the rise of unemployment and poverty. It then examines diverse policy responses across the Americas, and concludes by assessing the long-term consequences on social structures and political landscapes.

 
It draws from macroeconomic data, government documents, and personal narratives, offering a balanced perspective on ongoing debates regarding monetary policy, income inequality, and international trade imbalances. This approach offers insights applicable to contemporary discussions about economic policy, financial regulation, and social welfare programs.

Touchy Subject - The History and...

Lauren Bialystok, Lisa M. F....

A case for sex education that puts it in historical and philosophical context. 
 
In the United States, sex education is more than just an uncomfortable rite of passage: it’s a political hobby horse that is increasingly out of touch with young people’s needs. In Touchy Subject, philosopher Lauren Bialystok and historian Lisa M. F. Andersen unpack debates over sex education, explaining why it’s worth fighting for, what points of consensus we can build upon, and what sort of sex education schools should pursue in the future. 
 
Andersen surveys the history of school-based sex education in the United States, describing the key question driving reform in each era. In turn, Bialystok analyzes the controversies over sex education to make sense of the arguments and offer advice about how to make educational choices today. Together, Bialystok and Andersen argue for a novel framework, Democratic Humanistic Sexuality Education, which exceeds the current conception of “comprehensive sex education” while making room for contextual variation. More than giving an honest run-down of the birds and the bees, sex education should respond to the features of young people’s evolving worlds, especially the digital world, and the inequities that put some students at much higher risk of sexual harm than others. Throughout the book, the authors show how sex education has progressed and how the very concept of “progress” remains contestable.

PRAISE FROM MEDIATION STUDENTS
Dr. Neil Katz (Nova Southeastern University, Maxwell School of Syracuse University) has been assigning The Mediator’s Approach to his graduate-level mediation students since the Spring of 2022. Here’s a sample of what his students had to say:
“This really is a fabulous little book. I really enjoyed reading it – I initially got the Kindle version, but I have subsequently ordered an actual version so I can refer to it more easily and share with others. I almost wish I had read it before taking the course, and again at the conclusion.”
“Tara West’s book puts what were to me initially intimidating topics in a very relatable and easily digestible format. It helped me to process at a high level the various techniques and strategies mediators take in the various approaches that we studied throughout the semester.”
