Sinopsis

In "An Enquiry into the Truth of the Tradition, Concerning the Discovery of America," John Williams embarks on a meticulous investigation of the historical narratives surrounding the discovery of America. Williams deftly intertwines documentary evidence with critical analysis, exploring the diverse cultural and political ramifications of the European encounter with the New World. His literary style is marked by a rigorous methodology, rich historical context, and a nuanced understanding of the complexities of colonial discourse, making it a significant contribution to American historiography. John Williams, a distinguished scholar in early American studies, has dedicated much of his career to unraveling the multifaceted stories of colonization. His background, steeped in both historical research and literary criticism, underpins the text's insightful reflections on how narratives of discovery have been shaped and reshaped over time. This exploration not only highlights the power of storytelling in history but also addresses the often overlooked voices of Indigenous peoples in the American narrative. This book is highly recommended for students and enthusiasts of American history, as well as those interested in the interplay of narratives and power. Williams'Äôs inquiry not only sheds light on the past but also invites readers to reflect critically on the myths that persist in contemporary discussions about the Americas.

  • The Correlation-Causation Fallacy - Assuming Correlation Implies Causation - cover

    The Correlation-Causation...

    The correlation-causation fallacy is a common error in reasoning where people mistakenly believe that because two events or variables are correlated, one must have caused the other. This fallacy is not only widespread but can have significant consequences in various aspects of life, including science, policy-making, and everyday decision-making. It stems from the human tendency to look for patterns and explanations, often leading us to draw conclusions from observed associations without carefully analyzing the underlying mechanisms at play. 
    At its core, the fallacy occurs when a correlation—meaning two variables move together in some way—is confused with a causal relationship, where one variable directly influences or causes changes in the other. Correlation does not imply causation, a principle that is fundamental to sound scientific reasoning and critical thinking. For example, if there is a correlation between the number of hours spent watching TV and the number of people eating unhealthy food, it would be erroneous to conclude that watching TV causes people to eat poorly. Other factors, such as time spent sitting idle or lifestyle choices, could be influencing both variables. The danger of assuming causation based on correlation is that it leads to misguided conclusions, decisions, and actions. 
    This fallacy can often be found in media reports, advertising, and even scientific studies. Headlines like "Studies show that eating chocolate improves memory!" or "Increased spending on education leads to higher student performance" may imply a direct causal relationship based on observed correlations, but they neglect to account for potential confounding variables or the possibility of coincidence. In more complex situations, the misinterpretation of correlations can lead to flawed public policies, ineffective interventions, and misplaced public fear or optimism.

    Blue - A History of Postpartum...

    New motherhood is often seen as a joyful moment in a woman's life; for some women, it is also their lowest moment. For much of the twentieth century, popular and medical voices blamed women who had emotional and mental distress after childbirth for their own suffering. By the end of the century, though, women with postpartum mental illnesses sought to take charge of this narrative. In Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America, Rachel Louise Moran explores the history of the naming and mainstreaming of postpartum depression. Coalitions of maverick psychiatrists, psychologists, and women who themselves had survived substantial postpartum distress fought to legitimize and normalize women's experiences. They argued that postpartum depression is an objective and real illness and fought to avoid it being politicized alongside other fraught medical and political battles over women's health. 
     
     
     
    Based on insightful oral histories and in-depth archival research, Blue reveals a secret history of American motherhood, women's political activism, and the rise of postpartum depression advocacy amid an often-censorious conservative culture. By breaking new ground with the first book-length history of postpartum mental illness in the twentieth century, Moran brings mothers' battles with postpartum depression out of the shadows and into the light.

  • Fooled by the Winners - How Survivor Bias Deceives Us - cover

    Fooled by the Winners - How...

    Fooled by the Winners is a book about survivor bias, the cognitive error of focusing on the winners, the successes, and the living. But in many instances, we can learn more from those who have lost, failed, or died. 
     
     
     
    After reading this book, you will understand how survivor bias is often used to deceive us. You will learn how to stop paying for financial services that promise more than they deliver, for health care that doesn't make us healthier, for diets that don't make us slimmer, and for advice books that don't offer good advice. You will also come away with a different view of our past, including our perilous evolutionary journey and how history has often been written by the winners. You will come to understand how we are fooled by the winners in warfare, such as in the deployment of nuclear weapons and the most famous example of survivor bias—the missing allied bombers of WWII. 
     
     
     
    Previous studies of survivor bias have been inaccessible to most, housed in formula-laden statistical journals. But you won't find any math or technical jargon here. Through compelling analysis and the real-life stories, this book demonstrates the deceptive influence of survivor bias in our daily lives and on our thinking.
