Sinopse

"Jazz Revolution" explores how jazz music, born from a blend of African and European traditions in early 20th-century New Orleans, became a powerful force for social change in America. This book examines the music's formative years and its pervasive influence on American culture, highlighting the visionary musicians who propelled the genre forward. Rather than merely chronicling the history of the music, the book analyzes jazz's role in challenging social norms and promoting cultural change. For instance, jazz became a powerful form of expression for African Americans during the Civil Rights movement, reflecting their experiences and aspirations. The book argues that jazz was not just an art form but a revolutionary force challenging racial and cultural norms. Beginning with the roots of jazz in blues, ragtime, and spirituals, "Jazz Revolution" traces its spread to cities like Chicago, Kansas City, and New York, each developing unique styles. The book profiles influential figures like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, analyzing their musical innovations and cultural impact. By examining the intersection of music, race, and politics, the book offers a fresh perspective on American history and the enduring legacy of jazz in the 21st century.

The Closed Partisan Mind - A New...

Matthew D. Luttig

American politics today can be defined by the intense and increasingly toxic divide between Democrats and Republicans. Matthew D. Luttig explores why so many Americans have endorsed this level of political conflict. 
 
 
 
Luttig illustrates how the psychological need for closure leads people, regardless of whether they identify as Democrat or Republican, to express more polarized political attitudes. This association between closed minds and partisan polarization is a new phenomenon and can be traced to broader changes in American society, such as the creation of ideologically distinct political parties and a fragmented media environment. These developments have simplified politics into a black-or-white, us-versus-them, conflict—making politics appeal to those with closed minds. 
 
 
 
Today, strong partisans do not just cheer for their political party to win elections. Instead, more akin to religious true believers, strong partisans use their affiliation as a means of understanding right and wrong, friend and enemy, true and false. The Closed Partisan Mind reveals that these dynamics have manifested in both a new type of partisanship and a new type of partisan. The emergence of this new closed partisanship illustrates the dangers that polarization has wrought on society, politics, and the minds of Americans.

Baikonur Man - Space Science...

Barry L. Stoddard

Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments. 
 
 
 
On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.
