  The Great Retreat - How...

  Once a centralizing force of the democratic process, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society—less trusted than business, the police, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a "good" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them? 
   
   
   
  The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. 
   
   
   
  For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties—socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth, while the breakdown of party systems, on the other hand, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties—for without parties, democratic representation is impossible.

  Aggressive Persuasion - Using...

  Aggressive persuasion operates on the principle that forceful, persistent, or manipulative tactics can shape the decisions and behaviors of others. Unlike subtle persuasion, which relies on logical argumentation and emotional appeal, aggressive persuasion often leverages pressure, intimidation, and dominance to compel compliance. Understanding the psychological mechanisms behind this type of influence reveals why it is so effective and how individuals can recognize when they are being subjected to it. 
  At the core of aggressive persuasion is the exploitation of cognitive biases. Human beings are wired to respond to authority, fear, and social pressure. Persuasive individuals who employ aggressive tactics often capitalize on these tendencies, creating scenarios where the target feels obligated, intimidated, or even fearful of rejecting the proposal. This can manifest in high-pressure sales environments, political discourse, or interpersonal relationships where one party exerts dominance over another to achieve their desired outcome. 
  One of the most effective psychological tactics in aggressive persuasion is creating urgency and scarcity. When individuals believe that an opportunity is limited or that immediate action is necessary, they are more likely to comply without fully analyzing the situation. This technique is common in marketing, where customers are pressured into making impulse purchases due to time-sensitive offers. In other contexts, such as negotiations or decision-making in high-stakes situations, creating urgency can cloud judgment and force individuals into agreements they might otherwise reject.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
