Summary

Absurd Election Moments explores the bizarre side of democracy, delving into elections where the unexpected reigns supreme. It examines how human error and systemic vulnerabilities can lead to unbelievable political upsets and questionable results. For instance, the book highlights instances of lost or miscounted votes, demonstrating how easily election integrity can be compromised.

 
The book progresses by dissecting three key themes: unconventional political campaigns, the anatomy of lost votes, and improbable election upsets. Each chapter builds upon the last, revealing how these absurd moments expose deeper issues within democratic processes. By connecting seemingly isolated incidents, the book argues that these anomalies are symptomatic of systemic problems that demand attention.

 
Through a blend of historical archives, news reports, and academic studies, Absurd Election Moments presents a comprehensive analysis of each event. This approach offers readers a deeper understanding of how elections, often considered the cornerstone of democracy, can be subject to remarkable—and sometimes ridiculous—outcomes.

 
Ultimately, the book encourages critical thinking and proactive engagement in safeguarding the integrity of elections.

    Meet the hostesses who have shaped cocktail history, and learn how to make the drinks they loved. 
     
     
     
    Throughout American history, women have helped propel what we know as classic cocktails—the Martini, the Manhattan, the Old-Fashioned, and more—into popular culture. But, often excluded from private clubs, women exercised this influence from the home, in their cocktail parlors. In The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist and spirits entrepreneur, gives women their long-overdue spotlight in cocktail history and shows how they still impact cocktail culture today. 
     
     
     
    Journeying through the decades, this book profiles a diverse array of influential hostesses. With each historic era comes iconic recipes, featuring a total of forty main cocktails and more than 100 variations that listeners can make at home. Whether its happy hour punch a la Martha Washington or a Harlem Renaissance-inspired Green Skirt, listeners will find that many of the ingredients and drinks they're familiar with today wouldn't be here without the hostesses who served them first.

    Expressly Human - Decoding The...

    Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
     
     
      
    Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
     
     
      
    Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

  • A Book About Books - Volume I of III - cover

    A Book About Books - Volume I of...

    E. H. Bernstein

    This book is Volume I of a three volume book plus accompanying website, www.bookaboutbooks.com, which adds to subjects already in the book or presents some books and subjects not contained in the books. The other volumes are available from the same booksellers as this volume. Note this 2024 publication date is a corrected version of the original version of this volume published in 2018. 
    A Book about Books discusses what nonfiction books and subjects the author believes are important to know about. This book tries to point to problems in how we live and to see if books have any answers. Even though the books are complete, the author will update the website periodically in the future. 
    E. H. Bernstein is a former librarian turned author. The subtitle of the book describes the author's objective: "A handbook in three volumes to a choice of essential books, writers and subjects in order to understand the world we live in, about 'big questions' and possible answers, about books and writers that may improve people's lives, about neglected writers, and other books and subjects." 
    A Book about Books attempts to share what the author has learned from nearly 50 years of nonfiction reading and to provide the reader with samples of the most important authors and subjects from that reading. 
    While the book is based on research, it is intended to be a handbook or guide by trying to make that research understandable to the general reader and to students, and for teachers--by pointing to what the author believes is missing from today's education. A curriculum proposal for college teachers is on the website. 
    Note about how the volumes are related: each chapter is on a separate subject. So the chapters can be read individually, but the full message requires reading all the volumes. Volume I is important, but preliminary to the more important Volumes II and III. Note also that the book is not just about books, since other sources are also mentioned. 
    The author believes we should listen to many voices, so the book draws on many types of writers from different times and countries. 
    The author says: A contemporary writer once said that one of the purposes of writing is that books should be useful. I hope that my book will be of use.
