  We live in a wonderfully diverse and increasingly connected world. With that rise in connection comes a steep rise in expectations. 
  ... Expectations that we know how to talk about diversity, including with people who are different than ourselves. 
  ... Expectations that we lean into uncomfortable conversations, with sufficient fluency that we don't cause offence. 
  ... Expectations that we act, instead of simply walking by inequality. 
  Although most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go as far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. In the absence of knowing what to do, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. Unfortunately, this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help.  
  Mind the Inclusion Gap is for anyone who wants to move beyond talking to actively shaping an inclusive future. It looks beyond singular diversity categories, exploring the connections between race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. Filled with insight and everyday skills, it will help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face in the workplace and in the world.

  How States Think - The...

  A groundbreaking examination of a central question in international relations: Do states act rationally? 
   
  To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics, for only if states are rational can scholars and policymakers understand and predict their behavior. 
   
  John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato argue that rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision‑making processes. Using these criteria, they conclude that most states are rational most of the time, even if they are not always successful. Mearsheimer and Rosato make the case for their position, examining whether past and present world leaders, including George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, have acted rationally in the context of momentous historical events, including both world wars, the Cold War, and the post–Cold War era.  
   
  By examining this fundamental concept in a novel and comprehensive manner, Mearsheimer and Rosato show how leaders think, and how to make policy for dealing with other states.

  The Great Famine - A History...

  The Great Famine which afflicted Ireland from 1845 to 1849 was one of the most catastrophic events in Europe during the nineteenth century. More than one-quarter of the population of Ireland died of starvation or associated disease, or were forced to emigrate. Ireland after the famine was a completely different country in many ways. 
  The direct causes of the famine are simple to understand—a large part of the population of Ireland, mainly the poorest families, had become completely dependent on the potato as a source of food. In 1845, the blight appeared, a disease which affected the potato crop. Successive failures of the potato crop in Ireland led to more than one million people dying as a direct result. 
  What is less easy to understand is why this famine was confined to Ireland and why the British government did not do more to help. The potato blight affected parts of Great Britain and other countries in Europe, but nowhere else did it lead to famine. For much of the famine, food continued to be exported from Ireland, and at its height, there was food stored in warehouses which could have been used to alleviate the suffering of the starving—that it was not represents at the very least a complete failure of understanding on the part of the British government. 
  The Great Famine left a legacy of distrust and animosity between large segments of the population of Ireland and Great Britain, and this in part led to the movements which finally produced Irish independence. The famine also left a deep impression on the psyche of the people of Eire, and even today, Ireland remains at the forefront of international famine relief. 
  This is the story of the Irish Potato Famine.
