Summary

“Diversity Balance Practices” examines the vital need for equitable representation in media, particularly focusing on the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity with race, ability, and gender. It highlights how creators can navigate the complex landscape of representation to foster genuine inclusivity, challenging superficial approaches to diversity that overlook underlying power structures. The book emphasizes two key areas: intersectional representation, acknowledging overlapping discriminations, and equitable creation practices, addressing power dynamics in content production.

 
Did you know that historical patterns of exclusion have fueled the demand for more authentic narratives, and the book builds upon existing studies in queer theory, race, disability and gender studies? The book's approach combines theoretical analysis with practical application. It progresses through four sections: defining core concepts, analyzing case studies in film, television, literature, and digital platforms, exploring creative practices that promote diversity balance like inclusive casting and sensitivity reading, and offering guidelines for creators and policymakers.

 
By scrutinizing media representation and its impact, “Diversity Balance Practices” strives to provide strategies for developing diversity and inclusion policies, informing educational resources, and enriching public discourse on LGBTQ+ rights and social justice.

    New York Times bestsellling author separates history from myth from the Pharaohs to Blackbeard and Captain Kidd to today. 
Soon after the first maritime trade routes became operational, seafaring bandits appeared to prey upon the cargo, crews, and ships of others. Crimson Waters traces the history of piracy around the globe, stretching back from its roots in 2500 BCE, through the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and up to the modern-day pirates who still threaten boats along coastlines and on the open seas. 
This journey through history includes 
evidence of “Sea People” during the reigns of Egyptian Pharaohs, 
the raids and pillaging of seafaring Vikings, 
the tales of Blackbeard, the Barbarossa Brothers, Calico Jack, Captain Kidd, Sir Francis Drake, and Madam Cheng, 
a historical account of the real pirates of the Caribbean, 
pirates of the modern age and why the occupation has persevered, 
and more! 
Crimson Waters satisfies all the armchair swashbucklers who long for a sense of adventure and the history buffs looking to spruce up their knowledge of maritime exploits.

    In Small Teaching K-8, a team of veteran educators bridges the gap between cognitive theory and the K-8 classroom environment, applying the same foundational research found in author James Lang's bestselling Small Teaching to the elementary and middle school setting. The book demonstrates how to integrate simple interventions into pre-existing pedagogical techniques to dramatically improve student outcomes. 
 
 
 
The interventions consist of classroom or online learning activities, one-time additions, or small modifications in course design or communication. Regardless of their form, they all deliver powerful, positive consequences. 
 
 
 
In this book, listeners will also find: 
 
 
 
● Foundational concepts from up-to-date cognitive research that has implications for classroom teaching and the rationales for using them in a K-8 classroom 
 
 
 
● Concrete examples of how interventions have been used 
 
 
 
● Directions on the specific timing of each intervention 
 
 
 
An essential resource for K-8 educators seeking ways to improve their efficacy in the classroom, Small Teaching K-8 offers teachers intuitive and actionable advice on helping students absorb and retain knowledge for the long-term.

    Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
 
 
 
As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
 
 
 
Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
 
 
 
He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
 
 
 
This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.

    Vote With Your Phone - Why...

    Gun Control. Abortion. From the halls of Congress, it may seem that Americans are bitterly polarized on the biggest policy issues of the day. But Americans are not as divided as we think, and polls show that most of us largely agree on even the most divisive issues. The problem lies in how we vote. 
 
  
 
Politics is more extreme because only the most extreme voters turn out in primaries. And with politicians prioritizing reelection above all else, they shun compromise, feed this extremism, and get rewarded for it. If a lot more people vote, the views of the electorate become more mainstream, and our politicians and policies will shift to the center. 
 
  
 
Mobile voting is the solution. We do just about everything on our phones, and yet we still can't use them to vote. But the technology exists, provides enhanced security over traditional paper ballots, and it could exponentially increase voter turnout. 
 
  
 
Including essays by Martin Luther King Jr. III, David Hogg, and other prominent political figures, Vote with Your Phone shows us that a solution to restoring faith in our representative democracy is right in the palm of our hands.
