  Crystallizing Public Opinion -...

  The Bare-Knuckled Truths of Edward BernaysYou may not know Edward Bernays, but Edward Bernays knows you.  His 1923 classic Crystallizing Public Opinion set down the principles that corporations and government have used to influence and manipulate public attitudes over the past century, and the mass media continues that practice today.This seminal work on how public opinion is created and shaped, offers a glimpse into the world of propaganda and advertising. Bernays, who believes the public behaves like a herd of animals, shows how ideas about what to eat, and how we should look and dress can easily be put into our heads. He outlines how the masses can be controlled in whatever way the influencer chooses.This original and complete edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.By adapting the ideas that this pioneering PR strategist, who considered himself part of an intellectual and economic elite entitled to govern public opinion and global policy, governments and advertisers have been able to “regiment the mind.” His work explains the popularity of today’s TV news shout-fests and angry social media posts because, as Bernays observed, crowds love a contest. This crowd-contest dynamic fuels the hostile and sarcastic comment chains that populate Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets.We know that beliefs can gain sudden popularity based on the public’s proclivity for seven factors: “flight-fear, repulsion-disgust, curiosity-wonder, pugnacity-anger, self-display-elation, self-abasement-subjection, parental-love-tenderness.”Named as one of the 100 most influential Americans of the 20th Century by Life magazine, Bernays’ clients included the American Tobacco Company, several U.S. presidents and the opponents of the Guatemalan revolution. This Austrian-born nephew of Sigmund Freud made a study of the different ways to use propaganda.  "Crystallizing Public Opinion" was his first major effort to sell himself and his philosophy of public relations.

  In 2019, intense fires in the San Francisco Bay Area closed universities and drove afflicted people to shelter at other campuses. At the same time, extraordinary fires ravaged eastern Australia. Several universities responded by promising material and research support to damaged businesses while also hosting refugees and emergency response teams in student residence halls. This was an echo of the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Katrina on Tulane University in 2005.In Universities on Fire, futurist Bryan Alexander explores higher education during an age of unfolding climate crisis. Powered by real-world examples and the latest research, Alexander assesses practical responses and strategies by surveying contemporary programs and academic climate research from around the world. He establishes a model of how academic institutions may respond and offers practical pathways forward for higher education. How will the two main purposes of education—teaching and research—change as the world heats up? Alexander positions colleges and universities in the broader social world, from town-gown relationships to connections between how campuses and civilization as a whole respond to this epochal threat.Current studies of climate change trace the likely implications across a range of domains, from agriculture to policy, urban design, technology, culture, and human psychology. However, few books have predicted or studied the effects of the climate crisis on colleges and universities. By connecting climate research to a deep, futures-informed analysis of academia, Universities on Fire explores how climate change will fundamentally reshape higher education.

  Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
  Who better to ask about soap magic than a psychic, right? Well, I'm not convinced either, but if the soap works on the magically inclined as well as on other people, then that's not an opportunity for me to waste. And this is how I ended up in a pile of pillows, with the psychic under me, over me, and pretty much all around me. And one day, an archaeologist might discover under all those pillows a position we haven't tried yet, but until then, this was more than I had actually hoped for. 
  So, well, the third part of Soap Magic gets us through all the things lesbians can do to and with each other, including, but not limited to, pillow sex. Also conains soap.

  There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between them embracing truth and becoming the person God designed them to be—or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything—or have us second-guessing everything we did say. 
   
   
   
  What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers—even though they have more questions than ever, like Why can't I have my phone in my room at night?; Why do I have to go to church?; How can God allow bad things to happen?; What can I do about the anxiety or depression I'm feeling?; Why can't I just date for fun?; Why do I have to get a job?; and Why does it matter who I hang out with? 
   
   
   
  From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They're also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle thirty of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.
