Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "The Southern Case for School Segregation," James Jackson Kilpatrick presents a controversial yet deeply engaging examination of the socio-political landscape surrounding public education in the American South during the mid-20th century. The book is marked by Kilpatrick's distinctive literary style, characterized by a blend of rhetorical power and persuasive argumentation. He articulates the reasons behind southern opposition to desegregation, framing the issue within the larger context of states' rights and cultural identity. Through a meticulous analysis of legislative measures, societal norms, and individual narratives, Kilpatrick seeks to justify the segregationist policies that dominated the era, making a case for their perceived necessity in maintaining social order and tradition. Kilpatrick, a prominent southern journalist and columnist, emerged from a region steeped in the complexities of race relations. His upbringing and career in Virginia and his engagement with the political debates of the time undoubtedly shaped his perspective. Operating in a climate of intense social change, Kilpatrick's experiences provided him with a unique vantage point from which to advocate for segregation, reflecting not just personal beliefs but also the prevailing attitudes of many Southern whites. This book is essential for scholars and readers interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of race, education, and politics in the South. Kilpatrick's unapologetic defense of segregation sparks critical discussions about the legacy of racism in America, inviting readers to grapple with the historical realities that continue to resonate today.

Every Man a King - A Short...

Anonimo

From Fox News' politics editor Chris Stirewalt -- a fun and lively account of America's populist tradition, from Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt, to Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, and Donald Trump. Whatever the ideological fad of the moment, American populism has always been home to a fascinating assortment of charismatic leaders, characters, kooks, cranks, and sometimes charlatans who have - with widely varying degrees of success - led the charge of ordinary folks who have gotten wise to the ways of the swamp.  This attitude of skeptical resentment also makes populism a fertile field for the work of conspiracy theorists and other enthusiastic apostates from civic convention. After all, if the people in power are found to be rigging one part of the system, why not the rest?  Every Man a King tells the stories of America's populist leaders, from an elderly Andrew Jackson brutally caning his would-be-assassin, to William Jennings Bryan's pre-speech routine that combined equally prodigious quantities of prayer and food, to Ross Perot's military-style campaign that made even volunteers wear badges with stars to show rank. It is a rollicking history of an American attitude that has shaped not only our current moment, but also the long struggle over who gets to define the truths we hold to be self evident.

SELF-REGULATION SKILLS - How To...

Brittany Forrester

Self-regulation can be defined in various ways. In the most basic sense, it involves controlling one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts to pursue long-term goals. More specifically, emotional self-regulation refers to managing disruptive emotions and impulses. In other words, to think before acting. It also reflects the ability to cheer yourself up after disappointments and work in a way consistent with your deepest values.
It's easy to see how a lack of self-regulation will cause problems in life. A child who yells or hits other children out of frustration will not be famous among peers and may face reprimands at school. An adult with poor self-regulation skills may lack self-confidence and self-esteem and have trouble handling stress and frustration. Often, this might be expressed in anger or anxiety. In more severe cases, it may be diagnosed as a mental disorder.
Self-regulation is also essential because it allows you to follow your deeply held values or social conscience and express yourself appropriately. If you value academic achievement, it will enable you to study instead of slack off before a test.
Many students do not possess the self-regulatory skills they need to become high academic performers.
Some students have found ways to regulate their learning and develop a system of control that shields them from motivational interference and conflict. Limiting distractions and using music to tune out distractions are students' most common self-regulatory strategies to manage motivational interference and conflict. Other students use athletics.

Wealth Supremacy - How the...

Marjorie Kelly, Edgar Villanueva

This powerful analysis explains how the bias toward wealth that is woven into the very fabric of American capitalism is damaging people, the economy, and the planet and explores what the foundations of a new economy could be. 
 
This bold manifesto exposes seven myths underlying wealth supremacy-the bias that institutionalizes infinite extraction of wealth by and for the wealthy and is the hidden force behind economic injustice, the climate crisis, and so many other problems of our day: 
 
-	The Myth of Maximizing-No amount of wealth is ever enough. 
-	The Myth of Fiduciary Duty-Corporate managers' most sacred duty is to expand capital. 
-	The Myth of Corporate Governance-Corporate membership must be reserved for capital alone. 
-	The Myth of the Income Statement-Income to capital must always be increased, while income to labor must always be decreased. 
-	The Myth of Materiality-Profit-that is, material gain-alone is real, while social and environmental damages are not. 
-	The Myth of Takings-The first duty of government must be the protection of private property. 
-	The Myth of the Free Market-There should be no limits on the sphere of influence of corporations and capital. 
 
Kelly argues instead for the democratization of ownership: public ownership of vital services, worker-owned businesses, and more. And she sketches the outlines of a nonextractive capitalism that would be subordinate to the public interest. This is an ambitious reimagining of the very foundations of our economy and society.
