The book takes a holistic approach, integrating practical guidance with theoretical insights, and examines successful case studies like Copenhagen and Amsterdam to demonstrate the benefits of bicycle urbanism. By providing data-driven analyses of bicycle ridership and cost-benefit evaluations, the book offers a roadmap for cities seeking to become bike-friendly. It begins by introducing bicycle urbanism and progresses through analyzing successful cities, focusing on practical infrastructure design, and exploring the economic, health, and environmental impacts of cycling. The book's unique value lies in its synthesis of practical guidance with theoretical insights, making it an invaluable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and cycling advocates seeking to create more sustainable and livable cities.

You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds.

Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar.

We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

Going Low - How Profane Politics...

Finbarr Curtis

Liberalism puts its trust in civil discourse and rational argument. Today, its opponents enthusiastically flout these norms, making a show of defying so-called political correctness. In the Trump era and beyond, right-wing figures delight in sheer offensiveness. What is at stake in breaking the rules of civility to "own the libs"? 
 
 
 
Going Low examines how the offensive style of contemporary politics challenges liberal democratic institutions. Considering the rise of illiberal politics and debates about the limits of free speech, Finbarr Curtis draws on the insights of religious studies to rethink provocation and transgression. He argues that the spectacle of brazenly violating taboos is a show of dominance over a supposedly censorious liberalism. Profaning liberal pieties is the ultimate form of "winning." Curtis contends that deliberate offensiveness dovetails with the privatization of public goods: both represent the refusal to accommodate the sensibilities of others in a diverse society.
