Sinopsis

Election Process Explained offers a crucial guide to the often-complex mechanisms underpinning democratic elections, emphasizing the importance of informed citizenship in an era where electoral outcomes face increasing scrutiny. The book delves into voter access and registration, the mechanics of voting and vote tabulation, and the diverse electoral systems used globally. It provides essential context by tracing the historical evolution of voting rights, legal frameworks, and technological advancements that have shaped modern elections. Understanding concepts like gerrymandering and voter suppression is key to grasping the nuances of today's elections. The book argues that accessibility, transparency, and fairness are cornerstones of democratic legitimacy. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts, then moves into major areas such as voter registration models, voting technologies and security (addressing cybersecurity risks), and electoral system design, comparing systems like proportional representation and ranked-choice voting. A unique aspect of this book is its comparative, global perspective on election processes, going beyond a single-country focus. Employing a clear, accessible writing style, Election Process Explained avoids jargon and uses real-world examples to explain complex topics. This approach makes it valuable for students, journalists, engaged citizens, and anyone interested in understanding and participating in electoral reform efforts. By integrating perspectives from political science, law, and computer science, the book provides a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing electoral systems today.

    Award-winning author Lama Tsomo provides insights and practices to enrich our relationships, be mindfully and joyfully present in the world, and deepen our understanding of ourselves. 
    The tide of modern life is sweeping us even further into isolation—away from each other, from the world, from ourselves. To turn this tide, Lama Tsomo has created the latest addition to her Ancient Wisdom for Our Times series: Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection. Building on the ideas and practices in the first two books—Why Bother: An Introduction and Wisdom Compassion (Starting with Yourself)—this new volume actively engages readers, expanding our understanding and guiding our practice in the several key areas. 
    The Four Boundless Qualities. Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity are not lofty, abstract sentiments. They are practical capacities that we can all cultivate for the benefit, as Buddhists say, of ourselves and others. Lama Tsomo teaches us how. 
    Forgiveness. This is essential to our inner well-being—if we want to move on in our lives, and to move closer to others, we must be able to forgive. Resentment is the most destructive form of stress. As someone once said, hanging on to resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection shows us that we don’t need to forget to forgive. 
    Near Enemies. Lama Tsomo’s explanation of the Buddhist concept of “near enemies” is a true eye-opener: she explains how we can stop fooling ourselves into thinking some of our shortcomings are actually virtues. 
    Sublime Insight. Her patient guidance into the principles and practice of Vipassana (Sublime Insight) offers us ways to experience reality in its complexity and simplicity. (Buddhism was thousands of years ahead of quantum physics on this one.) You’ll never see the world, or yourself, the same way again. 
    Written with the conversational clarity and generous dashes of humor she’s brought to her retreats at the Namchak Retreat Ranch and award-winning titles such as Why Is the Dalai Lama Always Smiling? and The Lotus and the Rose, Lama Tsomo’s latest is the culmination of decades of deep practice and scholarly inquiry. Deepening Wisdom, Deepening Connection is an authentic guide to compassionate awareness and a salve against a growingly disconnected world.

    It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
    On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
    In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
    When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?
