Synopsis

Banned Books Record explores the history of censorship worldwide, examining why certain books are deemed dangerous. It reveals how book banning reflects societal anxieties and the struggle between freedom of expression and control. Understanding censorship is crucial, as it often serves to maintain power, suppress dissent, and shape public opinion. For example, throughout history, books challenging political or social norms have frequently faced prohibition.

 
The book approaches its subject chronologically, presenting case studies from different historical periods and geographical regions. It analyzes the political and social factors behind book bannings, examining arguments for suppression and the impacts on writers, readers, and society.

 
The book provides a global perspective by including cases of censorship from various cultural and political contexts, underlining how it enforces ideological conformity and silences marginalized voices. It integrates historical, political, and sociological perspectives to offer a comprehensive understanding of censorship.

 
The study progresses from foundational concepts to specific instances of book banning, culminating in an analysis of contemporary challenges like online censorship and political polarization. Readers gain insights into the motivations behind censorship, from genuine public safety concerns to power maintenance. This knowledge empowers readers to critically evaluate claims about dangerous books and advocate for intellectual freedom.

    Digging into a forgotten past - and the dead left behind.  San Francisco is famous for not having any cemeteries, but the claim isn't exactly what it seems. In the early 20th Century, the city relocated more than 150,000 graves to the nearby town of Colma to make way for a rapidly growing population. But an estimated fifty to sixty thousand burials were quietly built over and forgotten, only to resurface every time a new building project began. The dead still lie beneath some of the city's most cherished destinations, including the Legion of Honor, United Nations Plaza, the Asian Art Museum and the University of San Francisco.  Join author Beth Winegarner as she maps the city's early burial grounds and brings back to life the dead who've been erased.

    In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the story of how the neoliberal economic model came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric was elected president, vowing that "If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave." More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat. 
     
     
     
    In 1955, the United States State Department launched the "Chile Project" to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile's "Chicago Boys" implemented the purest neoliberal model for the next seventeen years, undertaking a package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a "Chilean miracle." But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo. 
     
     
     
    The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.

    Do you know How to Talk to Anyone? Do you want to know How to Talk to Anyone? 
    It doesn’t have to be someone important who is speaking to us to make us feel important…or not. Even the person sitting next to us on the bus has the ability to make us feel significant, or, like we don’t matter at all. Regardless of how we may try to wiggle around it, while the ultimate goal of your communication may be to inform or express, you are never going to succeed at doing so if the person you are talking to feels you have no value for him or her. 
    Every (good) speaker knows that the best delivery is one that makes each person in the audience feel every word was just for him or her. 
    In the art of effective conversation as well as public speaking, it is imperative to take an interest in the person or persons you are talking to. 
    Know what they like and what they don’t like. 
    Learn what interests them. 
    When you are uptight about speaking, be it publicly or privately, people sense your fear. While you work on getting over your anxiety of talking through measures taken in this book, you can fake it until you make it. Just pretending that you are not so nervous will help relax the person or persons you are speaking to and it might calm you as well. 
    Are you excited? Look no more!
