Unequal Opportunities - The Impact of Globalization and Urbanization on Education

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the face of intensifying globalization and a widening wealth gap, the American education system stands at a crossroads. "Unequal Opportunities" delves into the intricate relationship between education, inequality, and the urban landscape, exposing the stark disparities that shape the life chances of our youth.

Noted scholar Pauline Lipman masterfully weaves together research and real-life stories to paint a vivid picture of the challenges confronting urban schools and the students they serve. From underfunded classrooms to overcrowded schools, from inadequate resources to a lack of qualified teachers, Lipman lays bare the systemic barriers that perpetuate educational inequality.

Lipman argues that the current state of education is a reflection of a society grappling with profound social and economic divisions. She reveals how globalization has exacerbated these divisions, concentrating wealth and opportunity in the hands of a privileged few while leaving many behind. This inequality, she contends, is reflected in the stark disparities in educational outcomes between rich and poor students, and between urban and suburban schools.

Lipman also examines the role of race and ethnicity in shaping educational opportunities. She highlights the ways in which racism and discrimination continue to undermine the education of students of color, contributing to the achievement gap and perpetuating cycles of poverty.

"Unequal Opportunities" is a powerful call to action, urging us to confront the deep-seated inequalities that plague our education system. Lipman offers a vision for a more just and equitable society, one in which all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or zip code.

How to Be Unmothered - A...

Camille U. Adams

For generations, the women of Camille U. Adams's family have left their daughters. Some follow the siren call of rum, the centuries-old vice which alighted on Trinidad's shores from European ships. Others flee the behind-closed-doors beatings of husbands, fathers, and brothers, rushing into any arms that offer refuge. Some simply disappear, their passage marked by unkept promises and open wounds. 
 
 
 
As a young girl, Adams finds solace in Trinidad's whispering fever grass, sweet ixora flowers, and the cradling branches of the rose mango tree―all of their roots connecting her to the land's long memory. But where flora gives way to the rank pavement of Covigne Road, gunshots echo and men amass in the doorways of derelict garages, their mouths and hands promising violation. Home offers no safety: just an explosive father, cowed sisters, and a mother whose only reprieve is control. Cloying, suffocating, the maternal embrace threatens to blot out all else. Is it better to be choked, or not to be held at all? 
 
 
 
Tormented by her mother's presence and haunted by her absence, Camille U. Adams's dazzling debut is a breathtaking account of survival and self-determination, reimagining the meaning of escape, its cost, and what comes after.

The Roots of Military Science -...

Dr. Christina Rahm

The Roots of Military Science: Understanding the Intersection of Conflict, Mental Health and Wellness is about the psychology of conflict, the scars conflict leaves behind, and the generational healing that must follow. It is a plea for empathy, a call to learn from the past, and an optimistic blueprint for a future where the pen is mightier than the sword. The core of this narrative is formed by author Dr. Christina Rahm’s journey through healthcare and environmental stewardship amid the chaos of war and her search for peace. For Christina, the battlefield is both an external reality and an internal contemplation; it is the ground she walks on in countries torn by conflict, and the ethical landscape she navigates as a scientist committed to the preservation of life.
Within the pages of The Roots of Military Science lies a reflection, a confluence of critical thought, and a rigorous exploration of military science through the lens of clinical research. Readers will learn how warfare is used as a calculated tool for political force and provocation for economic gain. Complete with scientific research on the principles behind military strategy, tactical defense, attacks, planning, and coordination, The Roots of Military Science provides poignant insight into the psychological, philosophical, and scientific aspects of war which inevitably produces negative biological outcomes. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the intersection of conflict, mental health, wellnesses, and impairment behind theories of military science.

The Decisive Decade - American...

Jonathan D.T. Ward

In The Decisive Decade, Dr. Jonathan D. T. Ward offers a comprehensive framework for how the US can, and must, defeat China on the world stage economically, diplomatically, militarily, and ideologically. International security and American supremacy are at stake—and now is the time for the US to take action. China's global power and influence grows every day. Working from a deep sense of national identity, the Chinese Communist Party is leading its country toward what it deems "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation," and executing a long-term Grand Strategy to topple over its chief adversary, the US. As China becomes increasingly repressive domestically and aggressive overseas, it threatens to upend America's global dominance at every turn. 
 
 
 
Ward provides novel and practical strategies that our government, as well as our businesses and our citizens, can utilize to undermine our adversary. Exhaustive campaigns in the economic, diplomatic, military, and ideological arenas, he argues, must be taken to achieve victory. With expert analysis of the history of US-China relations, as well as insight into how the Russia-Ukrainian war can inform our strategic thinking, The Decisive Decade presents a unique toolkit for our triumph over China. We can succeed, but it won't be easy; it will take all of our nation's ingenuity, confidence, and willpower to win.
