Sinopsis

Government Blunders explores the often-absurd missteps in political history, offering valuable lessons for preventing future governmental failures. It examines flawed policy development, financial repercussions, and sociological impacts, arguing that recurring patterns like cognitive biases and groupthink contribute to these blunders. Understanding these patterns is crucial for fostering effective governance and avoiding repeated mistakes.

 
The book analyzes specific historical cases, such as failed economic policies that led to market crashes and public works projects that spiraled out of control. It also delves into instances where social engineering backfired, creating unintended consequences.

 
By drawing from government documents, legislative records, and economic data, the book highlights the importance of transparency, accountability, and rigorous impact assessments in policy development.

 
Structured to introduce key concepts before diving into detailed analyses, Government Blunders connects to fields like behavioral economics, political science, and sociology to enrich its analysis. Its unique approach focuses on the comedic aspects of governmental failures, making complex political and historical events understandable and relatable for students, policymakers, and engaged citizens alike.

Cherokee Civil Warrior - Chief...

W. Dale Weeks

John Ross served the Cherokee Nation in a public capacity for nearly fifty years, thirty-eight as its constitutionally elected principal chief. Historian W. Dale Weeks describes Ross's efforts to protect the tribe's interests amid systematic attacks on indigenous culture throughout the nineteenth century. At the outset of the Civil War, Ross called for all Cherokees to remain neutral in a war they did not support—a position that became untenable when the US withdrew its forces from Indian Territory. The vacated forts were quickly occupied by Confederate troops, who pressured the Cherokees to align with the South. 
 
 
 
Viewed from the Cherokee perspective, these events can be seen in their proper context, as part of the history of US "Indian policy," failed foreign relations, and the Anglo-American conquest of the American West. This approach also clarifies President Lincoln's acknowledgment of the federal government's abrogation of its treaty obligation and his commitment to restoring political relations with the Cherokees—a commitment abruptly ended when Andrew Johnson sought to punish the Cherokees for their perceived disloyalty. 
 
 
 
Centering a Native point of view, this book recasts and expands what we know about John Ross, the Cherokee Nation, its commitment to maintaining its sovereignty, and the Civil War era in Indian Territory.

Carrie Kills A Man - A Memoir

Carrie Marshall

Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power.

When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that – and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory.

*"Spoiler: That man was me." – Carrie
"Nasty & funny! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." - Patton Oswalt
