    The history of political ideologies is as old as civilization itself. Since the dawn of organized society, people have debated how power should be structured, who should govern, and what principles should guide leadership. These debates have given rise to various ideologies that have shaped nations, influenced policies, and determined the course of history. From monarchy and democracy to socialism and capitalism, political ideologies have evolved, merged, and sometimes clashed, reflecting the values and priorities of different societies.  
      
    At their core, political ideologies serve as frameworks for understanding the role of government, individual rights, and economic systems. They define the relationship between the state and its citizens, offering a vision of how a society should function. Some ideologies emphasize individual liberty and free markets, while others advocate for collective responsibility and state intervention. The spectrum of political thought is broad, ranging from the conservative defense of tradition to radical calls for revolution. While some ideologies have remained relatively stable over time, others have adapted to changing social and economic conditions.  
      
    Throughout history, political ideologies have been both a source of progress and division. The struggle between competing ideas has led to revolutions, wars, and the rise and fall of empires. Ideologies have inspired movements that fought for freedom, equality, and justice, but they have also justified oppression, discrimination, and totalitarian rule. The power of ideology lies in its ability to unite people under a common cause, but it can also create deep divisions, leading to conflict and unrest. Understanding political ideologies is crucial in making sense of global events, public policies, and societal changes.

    The Gas and Flame Men is the first full account of Major League ballplayers who served in the Chemical Warfare Service during World War I. Four players, two club executives, and a manager served in the small and hastily formed branch, six of them as gas officers. Remarkably, five of the seven—Christy Mathewson, Branch Rickey, Ty Cobb, George Sisler, and Eppa "Jeptha" Rixey—are now enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York. The son of a sixth Hall of Famer, player and manager Ned Hanlon, was a young officer killed in action in France with the First Gas Regiment. Prominent chemical soldiers also included veteran Major League catcher and future manager George "Gabby" Street and Boston Braves president and former Harvard football coach Percy D. Haughton. 
     
     
     
    The Gas and Flame Men explores how these famous baseball men, along with an eclectic mix of polo players, collegiate baseball and football stars, professors, architects, and prominent social figures all came together in the Chemical Warfare Service. Jim Leeke examines their service and its long-term effects on their physical and mental health—and on Major League Baseball and the world of sports. The Gas and Flame Men also addresses historical inaccuracies and misperceptions surrounding Christy Mathewson's early death from tuberculosis, long attributed to wartime gas exposure.

    In Love Nailed to the Doorpost, Richard Chess offers poems and lyrical prose inspired and informed equally by the pleasures and pressures of everyday life and by sacred and secular texts ranging from Torah to Basho to Robert Creeley. This new work transports us from the biblical past to the present, from creation stories to stories of brotherly struggle to meditations on married and family love. 
    Love—that’s the thing, whether spontaneously arising or commanded, as it is, the commandment to love inscribed on parchment, rolled up and tucked into a small case, a mezuzah, and nailed to the doorpost of the house. You shall love: the challenges of fulfilling that commandment, and the joy and transformation one experiences when one does: that’s what Chess’s powerful new work explores.

  • The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why Incompetent Individuals Overestimate Their Abilities - cover

    The Dunning-Kruger Effect - Why...

    William Rands

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that leads individuals with limited knowledge or ability in a particular area to overestimate their competence. Named after psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, who first identified this phenomenon in 1999, the effect reveals a paradox in human cognition: the less people know, the more likely they are to believe they know everything. Conversely, experts in a field tend to underestimate their abilities, assuming that others possess the same level of expertise. This bias is not only fascinating from a psychological standpoint but also carries significant implications for personal, professional, and societal development. 
    At the core of the Dunning-Kruger effect is the misjudgment of one’s capabilities, which stems from a lack of metacognitive awareness—the ability to assess one’s own knowledge and skills accurately. Incompetent individuals, lacking the expertise required to recognize their deficiencies, are unable to discern how little they know. This lack of insight leads them to overestimate their abilities and make decisions based on flawed reasoning. As a result, they may unknowingly engage in behaviors that exacerbate their incompetence, further reinforcing their false sense of expertise. 
    One of the most compelling aspects of the Dunning-Kruger effect is its broad applicability across various fields. From everyday social interactions to high-stakes decision-making in professional environments, this cognitive bias affects people at all levels. In the workplace, for example, leaders with limited knowledge in a specific domain may make decisions that negatively impact their teams, while employees with expertise may remain silent or defer to those who appear more confident. In education, students and teachers alike may fall victim to this effect, with the former believing they fully understand a topic despite limited comprehension, and the latter overestimating their teaching efficacy.

    The End of History and the Last Man explores the profound idea that history, as a dynamic process driven by ideological conflict, may have reached its conclusion with the triumph of liberal democracy. Combining political philosophy, history, and sociology, this groundbreaking work examines how liberal democracy emerged as the dominant form of governance, its strengths and vulnerabilities, and whether human fulfillment can truly be achieved within this framework. The book delves into the implications of this "end of history," questioning whether material progress and individual freedoms are enough to satisfy the human desire for recognition, identity, and meaning.
