Summary

Fashion in Politics explores the powerful connection between clothing and political expression, revealing how fashion serves as a potent tool for communication, activism, and challenging established power structures. The book argues that clothing functions as a nonverbal form of political discourse, capable of conveying complex ideas and uniting diverse groups. Intriguingly, fashion choices have historically demarcated social hierarchies, from ancient sumptuary laws to elaborate royal attire. Moreover, marginalized groups have strategically used clothing to defy dominant narratives and demand social change, demonstrating the agency individuals possess in shaping political discourse through everyday sartorial choices.

 
The book approaches this dynamic relationship by first establishing a theoretical framework, drawing from semiotics, sociology, and cultural studies. It then delves into historical case studies, such as the French Revolution and the Suffragette movement, analyzing specific sartorial choices and their impact on public opinion. Visual analyses, historical documents, and firsthand accounts support the book's arguments.

 
Ultimately, Fashion in Politics culminates in an examination of social media's role in amplifying the political significance of fashion, offering readers a deeper understanding of visual cues in political discourse.

    The human brain is the command center of the body, responsible for processing information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling cognitive abilities such as thinking, memory, and emotions. As the most complex organ in the human body, the brain contains billions of neurons that communicate through intricate networks, allowing for seamless coordination of voluntary and involuntary actions. Understanding the structure and function of the brain is essential for gaining insights into neurological health, mental well-being, and the mechanisms underlying various cognitive and motor processes. 
The brain is divided into three primary regions: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as reasoning, problem-solving, language, and sensory perception. It is further divided into four lobes—frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital—each with distinct roles in processing information. The cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, is crucial for coordinating movement, maintaining balance, and fine motor control. The brainstem, connecting the brain to the spinal cord, regulates vital autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion, ensuring the body’s survival. 
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, communicate through electrical and chemical signals. This intricate communication network enables the processing of sensory inputs, the initiation of motor responses, and the storage of memories. Supporting cells known as glial cells play a crucial role in maintaining brain health by providing nutrients, removing waste, and protecting neurons from damage. Neurotransmitters, chemical messengers in the brain, facilitate signal transmission between neurons and influence mood, behavior, and cognitive functions.

    Should we become parents? This timeless question forces us to reckon with who we are and what we love and fear most in ourselves, in our relationships, and in the world as it is now and as it will be. When Gina Rushton admitted she had little time left to make the decision for herself, the magnitude of the choice overwhelmed her. Her search for her own “yes” or “no” only uncovered more questions to be answered. How do we clearly consider creating a new life on a planet facing catastrophic climate change? How do we reassess the gender roles we have been assigned at birth and by society? How do we balance ascending careers with declining fertility? How do we know if we’ve found the right co-parent, or if we want to go it alone, or if we don’t want to do it at all? To seek clarity on these questions, Rushton spoke to doctors, sociologists, economists, and ethicists, as well as parents and childless people of all ages and from around the world. Here, she explores and presents policies, data, and case studies from people who have made this decision—one way or the other—and shows how the process can be revelatory in discovering who we are as individuals. Drawing on the depth of knowledge afforded by her body of work as an award-winning journalist on the abortion beat, Rushton wrote the book that she needed, and we all need, to stop a panicked internal monologue and start a genuine dialogue about what we want from our lives and why.

    In the shadow of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, two experts show us how and why global populism has taken root and what it will take to turn the tide
		 
From Trumpian America to Putin’s nationalist Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders reach into this fear, using it as a lever to power with empty promises of looking out for the little person and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries spread across the globe and the political spectrum, arising in the right and the left alike, and recently brought into harsh relief against Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. So why are we so susceptible to this pernicious political style at this moment? How did we get here? And more importantly, will we get back to more even-handed governments?
		 
Filled with original research, political scientists Drache and Froese have written a chilling, compelling analysis of the rise of populism, and reveal what it will take to douse the flames. This is an essential read for anyone concerned about the encroachments on freedom and the rule of law around the world.

    A homicide crisis began sweeping America after massive quantities of cocaine first began their journey into America in 1986. Drugs were trucked along the highways of the Cocaine Trail to every city in America. This influx of a deadly new drug led directly to a series of record deaths from overdoses, suicides and crime-related murders, family breakdowns and destroyed lives. Drugs are credited with driving the highest homicide rates in American history and a raging turf war between street gangs.
 
Crack cocaine unleashed a brutal era of violence, placing newspapers under 
enormous pressure to provide coverage. Relations with police were breaking down everywhere and crime coverage was in its death throes. Newspapers could not cover the homicides or give any context or explanations to such a social upheaval. Editors, reporters and police now reveal the shocking truth behind this agonizing episode in American history, when crime reporters had to re-invent journalism to get behind the police blue code. This book combines investigative journalism and narrative style to produce a rare portrait from within the secret inner world of newspapers.
