  Going Big - FDR’s Legacy Biden’s...

  Joe Biden has found his way back to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. After four decades of diminishing prospects for ordinary people, the public likes what Biden is offering. Yet American democracy is in dire peril as Republicans, increasingly the national minority, try to destroy democracy in order to cling to power. It is the best of times and the worst of times. In Going Big, bestselling author and political journalist Robert Kuttner assesses the promise and peril of this critical juncture. 
   
   
   
  Biden, like FDR in his time, faces multiple challenges. Roosevelt had to make terrible compromises with racist legislators to win enactment of his program. Biden, to achieve the necessary governing coalition, needs to achieve durable multiracial coalitions. Roosevelt had to conquer fascism in Europe; Biden must defeat it at home. And after four decades of neoliberal policy disasters reflecting Wall Street's political influence, Biden needs to go beyond what even FDR achieved, to restore a democratic economy of broad possibility. 
   
   
   
  From a writer with an unparalleled understanding of the history and politics that have made this moment possible, this book is the essential guide to what is at stake for Joe Biden, for America, and for our democracy.

  What is it like to be a woman at the forefront of political life?
  Discover the compelling narratives of women leading the charge in Welsh politics through the ground-breaking initiative by Archif Menywod Cymru/Women's Archive Wales. Dive into candid interviews with trailblazers from the Welsh Assembly, which preceded the Senedd, and was the first UK government to achieve gender parity in 2003. From the Social Services & Welfare Wales Act led by Gwenda Thomas, to the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act led by Jane Davidson, explore the stories of their political motivations, role models and how they navigated the challenges of balancing family life with political representation and their civic responsibilities.
  Setting the Record Straight stands as an essential record of Wales's political evolution. A work of significant importance, it not only pays tribute to the accomplishments of these remarkable women, but also envisions a future where women of all ages and backgrounds continue to play a central role in shaping the policies and governance of Wales.
  "It would have been an absolute scandal not to have captured these rich oral interviews from some genuine political pioneers. Without projects like this, we would continue to be restricted to seeing politics through an exclusively male lens. This fine and readable collection of interviews is not just enjoyable and enlightening, but invaluable to understanding devolution and women's history in Wales too." Professor Laura McAllister

  Mouse Utopia Experiment The: The...

  In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison. 
  	Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.  
  	The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia. 
  	While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.

In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most-used books of its kind. The following recording is from a speech Ciardi gave in 1965.
