Crystallizing Public Opinion -...

Edward Bernays, Mitch Horowitz

The Bare-Knuckled Truths of Edward BernaysYou may not know Edward Bernays, but Edward Bernays knows you.  His 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence and manipulate public attitudes over the past century, and the mass media continues that practice today.This seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, offers a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising. Bernays, who believes the public behaves like a herd of animals, shows how ideas about what to eat, and how we should look and dress can easily be put into our heads. He outlines how the masses can be controlled in whatever way the influencer chooses.This original and complete edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.By adapting the ideas that this pioneering PR strategist, who considered himself part of an intellectual and economic elite entitled to govern public opinion and global policy, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” His work explains the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fests and angry social media posts because, as Bernays observed, crowds love a contest. This crowd-contest dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.We know that beliefs can gain sudden popularity based on the public’s proclivity for seven factors: “flight-fear, repulsion-disgust, curiosity-wonder, pugnacity-anger, self-display-elation, self-abasement-subjection, parental-love-tenderness.”Named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine, Bernays’ clients included the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution. This Austrian-born nephew of Sigmund Freud made a study of the different ways to use propaganda.  "Crystallizing Public Opinion" was his first major effort to sell himself and his philosophy of public relations.

The Refugee Crisis -...

Fredrich Hazelton

The global refugee crisis has become one of the defining challenges of our time, affecting millions of individuals and reshaping societies worldwide. Conflict, persecution, and environmental disasters have forced people to flee their homes in search of safety and stability. The plight of refugees is a human tragedy, marked by loss, uncertainty, and resilience. Understanding the complexities of this crisis is crucial not only for addressing immediate needs but also for fostering long-term solutions.  
  
Refugees are often caught in a precarious position, navigating between the dangers of their homelands and the uncertainties of a new environment. From overcrowded camps to perilous journeys across borders, their experiences underscore the fragility of human security in the face of adversity. Despite international efforts, including treaties like the 1951 Refugee Convention, the global response remains fragmented and uneven, leaving many refugees without adequate support.  
  
The crisis also presents significant challenges for host countries, which must balance humanitarian responsibilities with domestic concerns. Refugees can contribute to the social and economic fabric of their host communities, but this potential is often overshadowed by political debates and societal tensions. Misconceptions and fears about refugees have fueled resistance in some regions, further complicating their integration.

Turn It Up! - My Time Making Hit...

Tom Werman

As an A&R man at Epic Records, Tom Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Jeff Beck, Poison, and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies. 
 
 
 
After bearing witness to several sea changes in the music industry, Werman retired from producing in 2001 and reinvented himself as an award-winning innkeeper in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. And that might have been that—until an off-the-cuff rebuttal to a disparaging critique of his role in making the Mötley Crüe album Girls, Girls, Girls on a music website led to a fortnightly column and now this book—an honest and engaging insider account on how some of the best-loved albums of the 1970s and '80s came to be. A must for anyone interested in the glory days of rock and metal, Turn It Up! offers valuable insights into the recording process, the recording studio, the role of the producer, and the production values that are essential to the creation of a hit record.
