Anónimo

One of our most beloved comedians, the brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular President ever elected where it hurts—and makes us laugh and cheer—in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that’s wrong with the ""Orange One,"" Donald Trump. 
Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose, Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. 
The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House. Structured as an A-Z guide (G is for Gold . . . en shower; P is for Pence and pussy-grabbing; T is for Tweets; Twits, and Twats, etc.), Joy, joined by New York Times bestselling humor author Larry Amoros, offers much-needed doses of levity and humor for everyone determined to #resist. With a major network television profile and a social media audience in the millions, this fearlessly confident star has a powerful platform to entertain Americans of all stripes—from Never Trumpers to fired-up progressives—as she takes on the worst president since . . . well, since ever.

Agency and Cognitive Development

Michael Tomasello

Children of different ages live in different worlds. This is partly due to learning: as children learn more and more about the world they experience it in different ways. But learning cannot be the whole story or else children could learn anything at any age—which they cannot. 
 
 
 
Michael Tomasello argues that children of different ages live and learn in different worlds because their capacities to cognitively represent and operate on their experience change in significant ways over the first years of life. These capacities change because they are elements in a maturing cognitive architecture evolved for agentive decision making and action, including in shared agencies in which individuals must mentally coordinate with others. The developmental proposal is that from birth infants are goal-directed agents who cognitively represent and learn about actualities; at 9-12 months toddlers become intentional (and joint) agents who also imaginatively and perspectively represent and learn about possibilities; and at 3-4 years children become metacognitive (and collective) agents who also metacognitively represent and learn about objective/normative necessities. These developing agentive architectures—originally evolved in humans' evolutionary ancestors for particular types of decision making and action—help to explain why children learn what they do when they do.

LOVE COST - ( How the Methods of...

Raymond Sturgis

This book embarks on a journey into the heart of the American experience, exploring the enduring legacies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X within the complex social and political landscape of contemporary America. While their methods differed dramatically, their shared aspiration for a more just and equitable future for Black Americans remains undeniably powerful. We examine how the philosophies of these two iconic figures offer not only valuable historical insights but also actionable pathways for navigating present-day challenges. The rise of racial tensions under the Trump administration, fueled by divisive rhetoric and policies, serves as a stark reminder of the persistent struggle for racial justice and equality. The book considers how the policies and pronouncements of figures such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk have exacerbated existing inequalities, underscoring the critical need to confront systemic racism. We delve into the ways in which both King's vision of integration and Malcolm X's advocacy for Black empowerment offer complementary yet ultimately convergent strategies to address systemic racism and inequality in 2025 and beyond. This exploration is not simply an academic exercise but a call to action, urging readers to engage with the past in order to forge a more just and equitable future.
