Synopsis

This groundbreaking book explores the persistent issue of rural poverty in America, delving into its historical, socioeconomic, and policy roots. With a particular focus on Appalachia, a region grappling with entrenched poverty, the book uncovers the complex interplay of factors that have perpetuated economic hardship in these communities.

Through meticulous research and analysis, the authors provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by rural areas, including the legacy of extractive industries, the decline of traditional industries, and the lack of economic diversification. They shed light on the impact of government policies, both past and present, on rural poverty, highlighting both successes and shortcomings.

The book goes beyond statistics and economic indicators to unveil the human toll of poverty. It explores the impact on health, education, crime, and social mobility, revealing the profound and often overlooked struggles of individuals and families living in poverty. The authors provide a nuanced understanding of the psychological toll poverty takes, the barriers to upward economic mobility, and the challenges of breaking the cycle of poverty.

Furthermore, the book evaluates policy responses to rural poverty, assessing the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs and the challenges in their implementation. It emphasizes the importance of community engagement, collaboration, and place-based approaches to poverty reduction, recognizing that solutions must be tailored to the unique circumstances of each community.

In an era of rapid technological advancements, the book also examines the role of technology in rural development. It explores the potential of technology to bridge the digital divide, improve access to education and healthcare, and promote sustainable farming practices. The authors discuss the ethical and societal implications of technological advancements and the need for responsible and inclusive development strategies.

Ultimately, this book serves as a call to action, urging readers to recognize the urgency of addressing rural poverty in America. It proposes a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach that encompasses collaboration, advocacy, and policy change.

Backbone - History Traditions...

Julia Dye

Noncommissioned officers stand as the backbone of the United States Marine Corps. The Corps is among the most lasting institutions in America, though few understand what makes it so strong and how that understanding can be applied effectively in today's world. In this insightful and thoroughly researched book, Julia Dye explores the cadre of noncommissioned officers that make up the Marine Corps' system of small-unit leadership. To help us better understand what makes these extraordinary men and women such effective leaders, Dye examines the fourteen leadership traits embraced by every NCO. These qualities--including judgment, enthusiasm, determination, bearing, and unselfishness--are exemplified by men like Terry Anderson, the former Marine sergeant who spent nearly seven years as a hostage in Beirut, John Basilone, the hero of the Pacific, and many others. To assemble this extraordinary chronicle, Julia Dye interviewed Anderson and dozens of other Marines, mining a rich trove of historical and modern NCO heroes that comprise the Marine Corps' astonishing legacy, from its founding in 1775 to the present day.
"Few people have the privilege of serving as a noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, but anyone who is interested in leading the kind of purpose-driven and values-centered life that marks the best Marine NCOs can learn from this book. And anyone in the business of leading people--whether it's in business, the classroom, or the playing field--should study the men and women Dye writes about with such insight. These NCOs don't just teach young Marines; they have a great deal to teach anyone smart enough to read, listen, and learn."
--Ed Ruggero, author of The First Men In: US Paratroopers and the Fight to Save D-Day

American History - A Very Short...

Paul S. Boyer

Ranging from the earliest Native American settlers to the presidency of Barack Obama, this Very Short Introduction offers an illuminating account of politics, diplomacy, and war as well as the full spectrum of social, cultural, and scientific developments that shaped our country. 
 
 
 
Here is a masterful picture of America's achievements and failures, large-scale socio-historical forces, and pivotal events. Boyer sheds light on the colonial era, the Revolution, and the birth of the new nation; right up to the tragedy of 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the epoch-making election of Barack Obama. Certain broad trends shape much of the narrative—immigration, urbanization, slavery, continental expansion, the global projection of U.S. power, the centrality of religion, the progression from an agrarian to an industrial to a post-industrial economic order. Boyer also highlights the diversity of the American experience and the crucial role of race, ethnicity, gender, and social class in shaping the contours of specific groups within the nation's larger tapestry. And along the way, he touches upon the cultural milestones of American history, from Tom Paine's The Crisis to Allen Ginsberg's Howl. 
 
 
 
American History: A Very Short Introduction is a panoramic history of the United States, one that covers virtually every topic of importance.
