Beschreibung

"Nuclear War Fears" presents a compelling examination of how humanity has navigated the precipice of nuclear conflict, blending historical analysis with contemporary security implications. The book uniquely combines declassified documents, expert interviews, and military archives to reveal the often-overlooked instances where the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war, extending far beyond the well-known Cuban Missile Crisis to include lesser-known events like the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm and the 1995 Norwegian rocket incident.Through three comprehensive sections covering historical near-misses, current capabilities, and future scenarios, the book challenges conventional wisdom by arguing that nuclear conflicts are more likely to emerge from miscalculation or technical malfunction than deliberate first strikes. This perspective is particularly valuable for readers seeking to understand modern nuclear security challenges.The analysis draws from multiple disciplines, including game theory, psychology, and international law, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing depth. The work stands out for its interdisciplinary approach to nuclear deterrence and crisis management, offering practical frameworks for understanding contemporary nuclear threats while maintaining scholarly rigor.By integrating traditional historical analysis with modern data modeling, the book provides military professionals, policymakers, and informed citizens with essential tools for evaluating current nuclear developments and arms control agreements. The combination of technical accuracy and readable prose makes this a crucial resource for anyone seeking to understand the evolving landscape of nuclear security in the 21st century.

A Supreme Court Unlike Any Other...

Kevin J. McMahon

A data-rich examination of the US Supreme Court’s unprecedented detachment from the democratic processes that buttress its legitimacy. 
Today’s Supreme Court is unlike any other in American history. This is not just because of its jurisprudence but also because the current Court has a tenuous relationship with the democratic processes that help establish its authority. Historically, this “democracy gap” was not nearly as severe as it is today. Simply put, past Supreme Courts were constructed in a fashion far more in line with the promise of democracy—that the people decide and the majority rules. 
Drawing on historical and contemporary data alongside a deep knowledge of court battles during presidencies ranging from FDR to Donald Trump, Kevin J. McMahon charts the developments that brought us here. McMahon offers insight into the altered politics of nominating and confirming justices, the shifting pool of Supreme Court hopefuls, and the increased salience of the Court in elections. A Supreme Court Unlike Any Other is an eye-opening account of today’s Court within the context of US history and the broader structure of contemporary politics.

Liberal White Supremacy - How...

Angie Beeman

In Liberal White Supremacy, Angie Beeman argues that white supremacy is maintained not only by right-wing conservatives or stereotypically uneducated working-class racial bigots but also by progressives who operate from a liberal ideology of color-blindness, racism-evasiveness, and class elitism. This distinction provides insight on divisions among progressives at the local level, in community organizations, and at the national level, in the Democratic Party. By distinguishing between liberal and radical approaches to racism, class oppression, capitalism, and social movement tactics, Beeman shows how progressives continue to be limited by liberal ideology and perpetuate rather than dismantle white supremacy, all while claiming to be antiracist. 
 
 
 
She conceptualizes this self-serving process as "liberal white supremacy," the tendency for liberal European Americans to constantly place themselves in the superior moral position in a way that reinforces inequality. Beeman advances what she calls action-oriented and racism-centered intersectional approaches as alternatives to progressive organizational strategies that either downplay racism in favor of a class-centered approach or take a talk-centered approach to racism without developing explicit actions to challenge it.

Swinging From The Chandelier -...

Sandy Hartranft, Glenn Hartranft

The day I found Ben swinging from the chandelier, I knew two things - being his mom was going to be a wild ride, and if I ever decided to write a book about it, I had my title. This book started as a way to cope, a reminder to breathe as I raised three boys, including Ben, who was diagnosed with autism at age 2. It tells our story - from experiencing the complex emotions of fear and guilt at hearing the diagnosis, to fighting tooth-and-nail with the school district to get Ben the services he needed. Our journey isn't over yet, but my once-nonverbal, illiterate son is now a public speaker. And this is the story of how - against all odds - he learned to read and write, learned to drive, and eventually got a job. It's the story of how he was voted homecoming king by his high school of 3,000, and how he continued to exceed all our expectations for him. 
I have been working on this book for over 10 years. When I first started, it was a way for me to document events, feelings, successes, and missteps while raising our son, Ben, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age two. Over time, I realized that the stories of other parents helped me on my own journey, so I hoped my book might do the same for someone else.
