  A potent re-examination of America’s history of public disinvestment in mass transit. 
    
  Many a scholar and policy analyst has lamented American dependence on cars and the corresponding lack of federal investment in public transportation throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. But as Nicholas Dagen Bloom shows in The Great American Transit Disaster, our transit networks are so bad for a very simple reason: we wanted it this way. 
    
  Focusing on Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and San Francisco, Bloom provides overwhelming evidence that transit disinvestment was a choice rather than destiny. He pinpoints three major factors that led to the decline of public transit in the United States: municipal austerity policies that denied most transit agencies the funding to sustain high-quality service; the encouragement of auto-centric planning; and white flight from dense city centers to far-flung suburbs. As Bloom makes clear, these local public policy decisions were not the product of a nefarious auto industry or any other grand conspiracy—all were widely supported by voters, who effectively shut out options for transit-friendly futures. With this book, Bloom seeks not only to dispel our accepted transit myths but hopefully to lay new tracks for today’s conversations about public transportation funding.

  Book Summary of "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari 
   
  Important note: This is not the original book. This is a book summary of the following book: 
  Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari 
  About 
  Our species, Homo sapiens, started out as just another insignificant animal—among countless others. But at some point, homo sapiens made a rapid jump to domination over all other species. This rapid rise has left humanity anxious, destructive, and often miserable—despite all our efforts to be happy. Yuval Noah Harari's book 'Sapiens,' traces the origins and effects of what we think of as “human progress” from small bands of hunter-gatherers 100,000 years ago to the present-day global network through which our species has come to dominate the Earth. This bird's-eye view of human history delves into the development of sapiens' social organization and the structural features of human cultures through which our species has spread and evolved, including breakthroughs like human language, the use of human imagination, and the rise of the concept of a better future that lies just beyond the horizon. Through these mechanisms, our species has evolved into a species that's increasingly in control of our own destiny. This book considers how this evolution has occurred, whether this progress has been beneficial, and what the future might hold for our species. 
   
  Here's what you'll learn about in this summary:  
  —How our species has evolved, not just biologically, but socially. 
  —How history, overall, is moving in the direction of global unity of humankind. 
  —How none of the outcomes of history have been inevitable, and the flexible nature of the social order may mean that our species can control its destiny.

  "Totem and Taboo" by Sigmund Freud explores the origins of human culture, religion, and morality through a psychoanalytic lens. Freud draws parallels between primitive societies and modern neuroses, examining totemism, taboos, and the Oedipus complex. He argues that primal emotions and unconscious drives shape societal structures, including laws and religious practices. By analyzing rituals, myths, and prohibitions, Freud delves into the psychological underpinnings of group identity and authority. A groundbreaking work, it bridges anthropology and psychoanalysis, offering provocative insights into the shared roots of individual and collective behavior. Though controversial, it remains a foundational text for understanding human nature.

  Why this book? 
  In many ways, Haber is one of those Spanish verbs that really does not get the attention it deserves. It constantly surprises us just how misunderstood and misused it is.  
  Even though Haber often plays a secondary role in our sentence structures and one of its biggest jobs is to work as a ‘helper’ verb, you will discover that Haber, is by no means a ‘runner up’ verb!  
  Once you learn to manage and use it in a fluent and controlled manner, your Spanish will move ahead leaps and bounds. 
  About this book. 
  This book is designed to take you from the basic yet vital uses of Haber all the way through to what some might describe as the most complex Spanish sentences you can make. It includes:  
  ·        Clear and unambiguous explanations 
  ·        Step by step progress through the tenses 
  ·        Frequent tests to check your understanding 
  ·        Interesting expressions used with Haber 
  ·        The Spanish Subjunctive in all of its glory! 
  We promise you that, once you have completed all of the chapters, your understanding of Haber will find itself exactly where it needs to be!
