Summary

Public Service Functions explores the critical role of public services in sustaining societal well-being, focusing on healthcare, education, and utilities. It uses government statistics to rigorously examine how effectively these services meet the public's needs. The book argues that merely providing these services isn't enough; equitable access and efficient management are crucial for optimal societal outcomes. For instance, access to quality education directly impacts societal mobility, while reliable utilities are foundational for economic activity.

 
The book's approach involves a detailed analysis of each sector, beginning with foundational principles and theoretical frameworks. It progresses through healthcare, education, and utilities, examining each in dedicated sections. The healthcare section analyzes access to care, health outcomes, and system efficiency; education explores attainment and equity; and utilities investigates reliability and affordability.

 
By synthesizing findings across these areas, the book highlights challenges and best practices, proposing policy recommendations to enhance public service delivery and promote social equity. This book uniquely connects data-driven analysis with policy implications, making it valuable for policymakers, academics, and informed citizens interested in improving public service delivery. By emphasizing evidence-based strategies, Public Service Functions contributes to a more informed dialogue about the future of public services and their impact on societal well-being.

    Racial Opportunity Cost turns critical attention to the specific challenges faced by high-achieving students of color and gives educators a framework for recognizing and addressing these issues. Terah Venzant Chambers roots her discussion in the concept of racial opportunity cost, using a term borrowed from economics to refer to the obstacles faced and tradeoffs made by Black and Latinx students on the path to academic success. 
     
     
     
    Gathering firsthand accounts from students, practitioners, and researchers, Venzant Chambers underscores a set of experiences common to academically successful students from racially minoritized backgrounds, especially those who attend predominantly white schools. These personal accounts illustrate the many ways in which the negative effects of racial opportunity cost extend from K–12 education into postsecondary academics and beyond. 
     
     
     
    In this clarifying work, Venzant Chambers identifies the factors, such as school culture, intersectionality, and community acceptance that can increase or lessen racial opportunity cost across educational environments. Venzant Chambers's framework will help educators proactively cultivate change in their classrooms and schools so that they may lower racial opportunity cost and improve student experiences.

    Emmanuel Macron lands for the first time in Africa at the Barkhane base in Gao, Mali, on May 14, 2017. His determination is complete: “Operation Barkhane will only end the day there are no more Islamist terrorists in the region and the full sovereignty of the Sahel states is restored. Not before.” 
    Seven years on, jihadists are on the rise, and the French army has been forced to leave Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad may follow… This debacle is not a military one, it’s a political one. With the end of its influence in Africa, France has weakened its army, lost its allies at the United Nations and bid farewell to its singular voice on the international stage.
    Leslie Varenne retraces Emmanuel Macron’s itinerary in Africa since 2017. She recounts a long sequence of lack of strategy, vision, ignorance of African realities, technocratic approaches, mistakes and setbacks that have led to this defeat. To this inventory must be added the problem posed by Emmanuel Macron’s personality and his relations with his peers.

     Herbert Silberer’s Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts (1917) explores the deeper meanings behind alchemical texts, Rosicrucian allegories, and mystical traditions, arguing that these works are not simply about chemical experiments but are symbolic accounts of inner transformation. Using both Freudian psychoanalysis and spiritual interpretation, Silberer demonstrates how myths, dreams, and esoteric emblems express unconscious drives as well as higher religious aspirations. He presents an old alchemical parable as a case study, then analyzes it through multiple layers—psychological, mystical, and natural-philosophical—before synthesizing these perspectives into a vision of regeneration, introversion, and the ultimate goal of union with the divine.
