Beschreibung

In 'Plane and Plank; or, The Mishaps of a Mechanic' by Oliver Optic, the reader is transported into the world of a young mechanic, exploring the challenges and adventures he encounters while pursuing his trade. Optic's engaging narrative style captures the essence of 19th-century literature, with vivid descriptions and a focus on moral lessons seamlessly woven into the story. The industrial context of the book provides a unique perspective on the societal changes brought about by technological advancements during the period. Readers will find themselves immersed in the protagonist's journey, as he navigates both personal and professional obstacles with resilience and determination. Oliver Optic, a pseudonym for William Taylor Adams, was a prolific writer of children's and young adult fiction during the 19th century. His background as a teacher and minister influenced his writing, as he aimed to provide entertaining yet educational stories for young readers. Optic's attention to detail and moral themes in his work set him apart as a beloved author of his time. I highly recommend 'Plane and Plank; or, The Mishaps of a Mechanic' to readers interested in historical fiction, 19th-century literature, and coming-of-age stories. Oliver Optic's captivating narrative and insightful commentary on the impact of industrialization make this book a valuable addition to any literary enthusiast's collection.

    An updated third edition of the modern classic that applies cognitive science to the world of politics—to explain how our unconscious views shape our votes. 
     
    When Moral Politics was first published, it redefined how Americans think and talk about politics through the lens of cognitive political psychology. Today, George Lakoff’s classic text has become all the more relevant, as liberals and conservatives have come to hold even more vigorously opposed views of the world, with the underlying assumptions of their respective worldviews at the level of basic morality. Even more so than when Lakoff wrote, liberals and conservatives simply have very different, deeply held beliefs about what is right and wrong. 
     
    Lakoff reveals radically different but remarkably consistent conceptions of morality on both the left and right. Moral worldviews, like most deep ways of understanding the world, are unconscious—part of our hard-wired brain circuitry. When confronted with facts that don’t fit our moral worldview, our brains work automatically and unconsciously to ignore or reject these facts, and it takes extraordinary openness and awareness of this phenomenon to pay critical attention to the countless facts we’re presented with each day. For this edition, Lakoff has added a new preface and afterword, extending his observations to various ideological conflicts since the book’s original publication, from the Affordable Care Act to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the 2008 financial crisis, and the effects of global warming. One might have hoped such massive changes and challenges would bring people together, but the reverse has actually happened; the divide between liberals and conservatives has become stronger and more virulent. 
     
    To have any hope of bringing mutual respect to the current social and political divide, we need to clearly understand the problem and make it part of our contemporary public discourse. Moral Politics offers a much-needed wake-up call to both the left and the right. 
     
    “An intelligent take on the way politics is conducted in America.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “That conservatives and liberals see the world differently comes as no news to most, but Lakoff’s look into just why that should be so makes for interesting reading.” —Kirkus Reviews
