The End of Affirmative Action - Making America Colorblind Again

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In this groundbreaking book, we make a compelling case against affirmative action, arguing that it is a failed policy that has actually harmed the very people it was intended to help.

Affirmative action is based on the assumption that certain groups of people are inherently disadvantaged and therefore deserve preferential treatment. This assumption is not only false, but it is also harmful. It sends the message that members of these groups are not capable of succeeding on their own and that they need special help in order to get ahead. This is a demeaning and demoralizing message that has no place in a free and just society.

Affirmative action also harms the very people it is intended to help. By giving preferential treatment to members of certain groups, affirmative action creates a system in which these groups are constantly being compared to others. This leads to a sense of resentment and division, and it undermines the goal of creating a truly unified society.

In addition to being unfair and harmful, affirmative action is also unnecessary. There is no evidence that affirmative action has actually helped to level the playing field for historically disadvantaged groups. In fact, there is evidence that it has actually made things worse. For example, a study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that affirmative action programs in higher education have led to a decline in the quality of education for all students.

We believe that colorblind justice is the only way to achieve a truly just and equal society. Colorblind justice means judging individuals solely on their merits, without regard to their race, gender, or other group affiliation. This is the only way to ensure that everyone has a fair shot at success.

This book is a call to action for all Americans who believe in colorblind justice. We must work together to end affirmative action and create a society in which everyone is judged solely on their merits.

The Dead Sea - A 10000 Year History

Nir Arielli

A human history of one of the planet's most iconic lakes, and the civilizations that surrounded its shores 
 
 
  
The Dead Sea is a place of many contradictions. Hot springs around the lake are famed for their healing properties, though its own waters are deadly to most lifeforms—even so, civilizations have built ancient cities and hilltop fortresses around its shores for centuries. The protagonists in its story are not only Jews and Arabs, but also Greeks, Nabataeans, Romans, Crusaders and Mamluks. Today it has become a tourist hotspot, but its drying basin is increasingly under threat. 
 
 
  
In this panoramic account, Nir Arielli explores the history of the Dead Sea from the first Neolithic settlements to the present day. Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war. The Dead Sea weaves together a tapestry of the lake's human stories—and amidst environmental degradation and renewed conflict, makes a powerful case for why it should be saved.
