Synopsis

Lost Ancient Cities explores the captivating histories of metropolises swallowed by time, revealing their stories through archaeology and historical accounts. The book examines the geographical, sociopolitical, and environmental elements that influenced these civilizations' rise and decline, offering insights into sustainable development and societal resilience. Discover how some cities were lost to natural disasters, like potential climate shifts that mirror current environmental concerns, while others succumbed to sociopolitical upheaval, such as wars or internal conflicts.

 
The book is structured into three sections, beginning with an introduction to the concept of "lost cities," then delving into specific case studies categorized by the reasons for their abandonment or concealment. Archaeological findings, ancient texts, and environmental data combine to illustrate each city's history and cultural significance. The book uniquely integrates these diverse sources, offering a comprehensive understanding of each city's trajectory.

 
Ultimately, Lost Ancient Cities connects the past to the present, providing valuable lessons for contemporary society. The book uses varied historical examples to highlight recurring patterns of growth, innovation, and collapse across cultures. By studying these forgotten urban centers, readers can gain critical perspectives on urban sustainability, disaster preparedness, and the preservation of our collective cultural heritage.

    Since protestors ripped through the Capitol Building in 2021, the threat of constitutional crisis has loomed over our nation. The foundational tenets of American democracy seem to be endangered, and many citizens believe this danger is unprecedented in our history. But Americans have weathered many constitutional crises, often accompanied by the same violence and chaos experienced on January 6. However, these crises occurred on the state level. In Sedition, Marcus Alexander Gadson uncovers these episodes of civil unrest and examines how state governments handled them. 
     
     
     
    Sedition takes listeners through six instances of constitutional crisis: The Buckshot War, Dorr's Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Baxter War, a successful terrorist campaign to overthrow South Carolina's government during Reconstruction, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898. He chronicles these turbulent periods of violent anti-government conflict on the state level, explaining what it was like to experience coup d'états, rival governments fighting in the streets, and disputed elections that gave way to violence. As he addresses constitutional breakdown, Gadson urges Americans to pay increased attention to the risk of constitutional instability in their home states. His sweeping historical analysis provides new insights on the fight to protect democracy today.

    You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: 
    You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team.  When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie".  She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers.  She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind.  No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.   
    Now the problem has fallen into your lap.  What do you do about it? 
    This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.

  • The Invented State - Policy Misperceptions in the American Public - cover

    The Invented State - Policy...

    In The Invented State, Emily Thorson argues that a problematic and understudied aspect of political misinformation reflects widespread public misperception about what the government does. Because much of public policy is invisible to the public, there is fertile ground for false beliefs to flourish, leading to what Thorson terms the "invented state": systematic misperceptions about public policy. However, people get the facts wrong not because they are stupid or blinded by partisan loyalty. Misperceptions are created when three conditions are met: when citizens have incomplete information about an issue, when their own biases color their understanding of it, and when they feel that the issue is important. The invented state is created by exposure to misinformation and by individuals' cognitive errors. 
     
     
     
    Correcting these policy misperceptions is highly effective at reducing false beliefs. Providing people with corrective information has downstream effects on attitudes. When they learn how policies really work, their approval increases and they also shift their policy priorities. Contrary to pundits' assumptions of a public who is largely indifferent to policy, there is a deep public desire to learn basic facts about how the government works. Thorson meets that desire with analysis on how the media can identify and correct substantive policy misperceptions.
