Unspoken Truths - The Downfall of the Media and the Peril it Poses

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In a world where information is power, the media plays a crucial role in shaping our understanding of the world around us. However, in recent years, the media has come under increasing fire for its perceived decline. Critics argue that the media is no longer objective, that it is too focused on sensationalism and clickbait, and that it is spreading misinformation.

This book takes a hard look at the decline of the media and its impact on our society. Drawing on a wealth of research, the author argues that the media is in crisis. The rise of the internet and social media has led to a proliferation of information sources, making it difficult for people to know what to trust. At the same time, the traditional media has been struggling financially, leading to layoffs and cutbacks. This has put pressure on journalists to produce more content with fewer resources, which can lead to errors and a lack of depth.

The consequences of the decline of the media are far-reaching. It undermines our democracy by making it difficult for people to make informed decisions about important issues. It also makes it easier for those in power to spread propaganda and misinformation. In addition, the decline of the media has led to a decline in public trust. People are increasingly skeptical of the information they see in the media, and they are less likely to believe what they read or hear.

This book is a wake-up call. It is time for us to take a hard look at the problems facing the media and to work together to find solutions. The future of our democracy depends on it.

This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the media and the role it plays in our society. It is a call to action for all of us to demand better from the media and to support the journalists who are working hard to provide us with accurate and reliable information.

Inverse Cowgirl - A Memoir

Alicia Roth Weigel

""One of the most brilliant thought leaders I have been able to share space with.""—Jonathan van Ness, from the foreword 
""The must-read memoir of fall 2023.""—Them 
""Powerful and vital.""—Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Song of Achilles 
From a celebrated activist on the forefront of fighting for intersex representation and rights—and a subject of the forthcoming documentary Every Body, from the filmmakers behind RBG—a funny, thought-provoking collection of essays about owning your identity and living your truth. 
Two percent of the world’s population—the same percentage of humans who have naturally red hair—is born intersex. Yet many people aren’t even familiar with the word. 
Intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs, yet many are stripped of their identity at birth when a parent designates M or F on a birth certificate. That subjective choice is often followed by invasive, life-changing surgeries, performed without the individual’s consent. Intersex people have become a target of politicians, attacked for who they are and threatened by legislation that attempts to categorize and define them. 
Alicia Weigel is fighting back against the hate and fearmongering to protect the rights and lives of everyone. In this book, she boldly speaks out about working as a change agent in a state that actively attempts to pass legislation that would erase her existence, explores how we can reclaim bodily autonomy, and encourages us to amplify our voices to be heard. 
Disarming, funny, charming, and powerful, this is a vital account of personal accomplishment that will open eyes and change minds.

Biggest Tank Battles of the...

Charles River Editors

World War I was the first truly industrial war, and it created a paradigm which reached its zenith with World War II and towards which virtually all equipment, innovation and training were dedicated throughout the Cold War and the remainder of the 20th century. To this day, modern warfare remains synonymous with tanks and mass infantry battles, although a confrontation of this nature has not occurred (except briefly during Operation Desert Storm) since World War II.  
	One of the most important breakthroughs in military technology associated with World War I, and certainly the one that continues to capture the public imagination, was the introduction of a war machine that came to dominate the face of land battles throughout most of the 20th century: the tank. As a concept, it was not revolutionary; in fact, it harkened back to classical antiquity and to the Middle Ages, such as the covered battering rams and testudos which had made frequent appearances on ancient battlefields. In essence, it was designed to solve the age-old problem of protecting infantry from enemy projectiles while remaining mobile.  
	The development of both modern artillery and machine guns, as well as the stalemate engendered by heavy fortifications and entrenchments, had hamstrung the mobility of infantry and cavalry and also left them both utterly vulnerable to defensive firepower. Since they were incapable of replying in kind, the tank was designed to bridge that gap. The tank’s armor, thick enough to withstand lateral fragmentation from exploding shells (although not direct hits) also made it virtually invulnerable to enemy rifle and machine gun fire, and its large tread meant that it could bridge trenches which would, at the very least, have delayed infantry substantially. As for the barbed wire entanglements and obstacles that severely delayed infantry and exposed them to enemy fire, tanks could simply drive right through it.
