  Bushmanders & Bullwinkles - How...

  For years Mark Monmonier, "a prose stylist of no mean ability or charm" according to the Washington Post, has delighted readers with his insightful understanding of cartography as an art and technology that is both deceptive and revealing. Now he turns his focus to the story of political cartography and the redrawing of congressional districts. His title Bushmanders and Bullwinkles combines gerrymander with the surname of the president who actively tolerated racial gerrymandering and draws attention to the ridiculously shaped congressional districts that evoke the antlers of the moose who shared the cartoon spotlight with Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Written from the perspective of a cartographer rather than a political scientist, Bushmanders and Bullwinkles examines the political tales maps tell when votes and power are at stake. Monmonier shows how redistricting committees carve out favorable election districts for themselves and their allies; how disgruntled politicians use shape to challenge alleged racial gerrymanders; and how geographic information systems can make reapportionment a controversial process with outrageous products. He also explores controversies over the proper roles of natural boundaries, media maps, census enumeration, and ethnic identity. Raising important questions about Supreme Court decisions in regulating redistricting, Monmonier asks if the focus on form rather than function may be little more than a distraction from larger issues like election reform. Characterized by the same wit and clarity as Monmonier's previous books, Bushmanders and Bullwinkles is essential background for understanding what might prove the most contentious political debate of the new decade.

  The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way. 
  However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know. We can learn about their language, their government, and, as far as we have sources, about their economy, art, culture, and religion. If a study of that nature sounds like it’s a good match for your own curious nature, then I invite you to pay attention to and get this brief guide on the Akkadian Empire.

  Hegel's Dialectic - Making...

  Are you tired of pretending to understand Hegel? 
  Do you feel personally attacked by German idealism? 
  Have you ever wondered if “sublation” is just a fancy word for “I have no idea what I’m saying”? 
  Congratulations. You’ve found your people. 
  In Hegel’s Dialectic: Making Simple Ideas Complicated Since 1807, philosophy finally gets the sarcasm-drenched takedown it deserves. This brutally funny and weirdly educational guide walks you through Hegel’s greatest hits—from Phenomenology of Spirit to The Philosophy of Right—without requiring a PhD, a bottle of aspirin, or a séance to contact the Absolute Spirit. 
  Inside, you’ll find: 
  Chapter titles like 
  “The Dialectic for Dummies – Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, Headache” 
  and 
  “Philosophy of History – Congratulations Germany, You’re the Pinnacle of Human Development!” 
  Explainers that are actually funny, including: 
  Why “The true is the whole” means “Stop quoting me out of context.” 
  How to fake your way through a conversation about Hegel with confidence and zero comprehension. 
  A conclusion so revolutionary, it dares to suggest that clarity in philosophy... might actually be a good thing. 
  Whether you’re a philosophy student, a former philosophy student in recovery, or just someone who enjoys watching intellectual chaos unfold with style, this book is your antidote to academic despair. 
  Read it. Laugh. Learn something. Maybe. 
  And remember: if you're confused, you're probably doing it right. 
  🌀 "The most fun you can have with German idealism without crying." 
  🧠 "Hegel for people who want to understand him, but also want to live." 
  🕊 "Finally, a philosophy book that hates itself just the right amount."
