  Apocalypse Television - How The...

  David Craig, Robert Iger

  On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
   
   
   
  The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
   
   
   
  Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.

  Sincerity - Communicating with...

  Sincerity is the foundation of meaningful communication. It fosters trust, deepens relationships, and allows individuals to express themselves without fear of pretense or deception. In a world where surface-level interactions are common, sincere communication stands out as a rare and valuable trait. People instinctively recognize authenticity, gravitating toward those who speak with honesty and conviction. When words and intentions align, communication becomes more impactful, creating connections that are both genuine and lasting. 
  Authenticity in speech and action is not just about being truthful; it is about being fully present and engaged in the conversation. It requires self-awareness, a clear understanding of personal values, and the courage to express oneself without the need for embellishment. Those who communicate sincerely are not driven by the desire to impress or manipulate. Instead, they prioritize clarity and honesty, ensuring their words accurately reflect their thoughts and emotions. This transparency fosters deeper connections, as others feel heard, respected, and valued in return. 
  Sincerity also plays a crucial role in credibility. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, trust is built on consistent and honest communication. People who habitually exaggerate or hide their true feelings often struggle to gain the confidence of others. On the other hand, individuals who speak with integrity create an environment where open dialogue is encouraged, reducing misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect. When sincerity is at the core of interactions, people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or manipulation.

  Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision...

  When Toni Morrison died in August 2019, she was widely remembered for her contributions to literature as an African American woman, an identity she wore proudly. Morrison was clear that she wrote from a Black, female perspective and for others who shared her identity. But just as much as she was an African American writer, Toni Morrison was a woman of faith. 
   
   
   
  Morrison filled her novels with biblical allusions, magic, folktales, and liberated women, largely because Christianity, African American folk magic, and powerful women defined her own life. Her relatives, particularly her mother, were good storytellers, and her family's oral tradition included ghost stories and African American folktales. But her family was also Christian. As a child, Morrison converted to Catholicism and chose a baptismal name that truly became her own—Anthony, from St. Anthony of Padua—going from Chloe to Toni. Morrison embraced both Catholicism and the occult as a child and, later, as a writer. She was deeply religious, and her spirituality included the Bible, the paranormal, and the folktales she heard as a child. 
   
   
   
  Toni Morrison's Spiritual Vision unpacks this oft-ignored, but essential, element of Toni Morrison's work—her religion—and in so doing, gives listeners a deeper, richer understanding of her life and her writing.

  The Illicit Global Economy -...

  The illicit global economy encompasses cross-border flows of goods, people, money, and information unauthorized by either the sending or receiving country. Typically, this means flows that are prohibited, regulated, stolen, or counterfeit. Some of these flows are obscure or mostly a law enforcement nuisance, but others receive enormous policy and media attention. Still others have severe environmental impacts and security implications. Collectively, these flows reflect the illicit side of the global economy.The Illicit Global Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers the key questions about how illicit global markets are structured and operate, how they intersect with state institutions and practices, how they interact with the legal economy, and how they shape and are shaped by domestic and international politics. This pithy yet authoritative primer helps listeners make sense of a crucial part of the global economy that is too often either neglected or distorted. In this regard, an underlying theme in the book is the need for a more historically informed critical perspective that challenges the many myths and misconceptions about the illicit global economy that are all-too-prevalent in contemporary media accounts, Hollywood depictions, popular books, and policy debates.
