Summary

"Tech Emergence" explores how American tech companies achieved global dominance in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book examines the interplay of government policy, entrepreneurial spirit, and cultural shifts that propelled these companies forward. It highlights how significant R&D Funding during pivotal historical moments, such as World War II, laid the groundwork for advancements in computing, networking, and software.

 
The book further contends that the uniquely American culture of innovation and risk-taking allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on these advancements, building groundbreaking companies and shaping the tech industry. The book takes a comprehensive approach, dissecting the origins, innovations, and impacts of tech giants like IBM, Apple, and Google. Each case study emphasizes the relationship between government support, individual innovation, and cultural context. For example, the internet's development, initially funded by government initiatives, became a platform for entrepreneurs to create new business models and reshape communication.

 
These detailed analyses provide valuable lessons for understanding the complex ecosystem that fostered American technological leadership. The book progresses systematically, starting with key concepts and historical context, moving into specific case studies, and culminating in broader conclusions about the drivers of American technological leadership. It emphasizes that the rise of American tech giants was not solely due to market forces, but also a result of strategic government support and a culture that embraced technological innovation. This framework offers guidance for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in fostering future innovation.

    Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
 
 
 
Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
 
 
 
Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.

  • The Sexual State - How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along - cover

    The Sexual State - How Elite...

    The Sexual Revolution - and the breakdown of the Family - has brought misery to millions. In The Sexual State Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just “happen” like a force of nature. Rather, it was deliberately created by “elites,” harnessing the power of the State, allowing them to inflict three false and calamitous ideologies – contraception, divorce, and gender – that have led to widespread and profound unhappiness, and worse. 
The ideas of the Sexual Revolution did not emerge from the lived experiences of ordinary people, the government has been imposing the morality of an out-of-touch elite class on the rest of us for decades. 
The Sexual State turns the conventional wisdom on its head to reveal how:The Sexual Revolution is and always has been a creation of the StateSocial issues are unified and can be understood as the outgrowth of a few simple (but gravely flawed) principles.Children have identity and relational rights with respect to their parents…and how the Sexual State denies children these rights. 
 Social conservative ideas and traditional Catholic morality are getting clobbered. And the dirty secret that no one wants to acknowledge – until now! - is that the progressive social elites have rigged the system. Most people don’t love abortion, or divorce, or single-parent families! Thankfully, Dr. Morse, and the Catholic Church, have the answer. It is vital that those who would change the culture understand how we got there, otherwise, the countering tactics will remain important. 
 In this masterful take-down of the Sexual Revolution and its promoters, Morse calls for a widespread adherence to the principles of the Church. Only then will our society recover from the misrule of “the elites” and the “managerial class.”

    Less than an hour by train from New York City...Croton Point Park encapsulates the history, beauty and promise of the Hudson Valley. The Westchester County Park encompasses miles of Hudson River shoreline with astonishing views and remnants of the region's past. Incredible shell mounds shed light on the Native peoples who inhabited the area generations prior to European colonization. The remains of the first commercial vineyards in the Northeast are just steps away from historic brickyards that helped build Manhattan. The Point served as a dumping ground for years until local efforts restored the park into a model of environmental conservation. Today, bald eagles have returned to nest alongside visitors exploring remarkable landmarks, sailing the waters of the Hudson or enjoying a scenic picnic. Authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan present Westchester's crown jewel, Croton Point Park.
