Sinopse

Exit Poll Accuracy explores the role and reliability of exit polls in shaping election night narratives. It delves into the methodology of exit polls, examining how they collect and analyze data, and questions whether they are truly accurate predictors of election outcomes or simply tools that media outlets use to construct particular stories.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding potential biases in exit polls, such as sampling and response bias, and how these biases can influence media coverage. Readers will gain insights into how exit polls have historically performed, comparing their predictions to actual election results.

 
The book progresses by first defining exit polls and their mechanics, then critically evaluating their accuracy in past elections, and finally examining how media outlets use exit poll data to create narratives. It uses both statistical analyses of exit poll data and qualitative analyses of media coverage. For example, the book presents statistical analyses of exit poll data from numerous elections, comparing exit poll results to official election outcomes.

 
Exit Poll Accuracy uniquely offers a balanced perspective, acknowledging both the strengths and weaknesses of exit polls, and provides recommendations for improving their accuracy and transparency.

    Underserved is a tangible blueprint for today's conservative who understands the need for a new and viable political plan of action—one that addresses the needs of the underserved communities that make up these United States of America. Utilizing the concept of the "Party of Lincoln" and the conservative principles set forth over centuries by the movement's most recognized thought leaders, Underserved examines President Lincoln's intentions for Reconstruction, President Grant's aims to implement that vision, and Frederick Douglass's influence on both men in the process. Underserved brings home the very real impact of a failed plan that has had negative implications on modern America, whether conservative, moderate, or liberal. 
     
     
     
    With this historical plan as the linchpin for creating a framework that services disenfranchised communities, authors Ja'Ron K. Smith and Chris Pilkerton challenge conservative policy makers to employ strategies that mirror those originally presented over 160 years ago, while making necessary concessions for its modern audience. 
     
     
     
    From education and workforce development to criminal justice reform and healthcare disparities, Underserved makes a bold statement about what is necessary to see a change in the current state of affairs and presents a realistic action plan to make it happen.

    An inventive new look at the entwined histories of Britain and Ireland’s nations – and the people who have called them home. 
    Acclaimed author and journalist Brian Groom reveals the colourful and often-contested history of the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans and others who have occupied these islands, along with their culture, languages and passions. 
    Packed with surprise and insight, These Isles explores the role of religion, the British Empire, international diasporas and internal migration, gender relations and war in a nuanced and entertaining narrative. 
    With forays into popular culture, sport, music, language, literature and art, These Isles stretches from 800,000-year-old footprints on a Norfolk beach to the changing fortunes of the early twenty-first century. It offers a uniquely rich and kaleidoscopic vision of the shared stories of people across Britain and Ireland – past and present. 
    As historical, political non-fiction, These Isles follows the shifting geography of power across Britain and Ireland and their place in Europe, illuminating the roots of nationalism, patriotism and rival ideologies. It moves with a travel narrative’s range and pace, delivering a top, latest synthesis of what has made these islands—and keeps remaking them. 
    For fans of Emma Bennett (The Bristol and Bath Art Book), Alan Cleaver (The Postal Paths), Rick Broadbent (Jessica Ennis), Graham Robb (France), and Alice Loxton (UPROAR!).

    While we can all recall images of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of a massive crowd at Lincoln Memorial, few of us remember the man who organized this watershed nonviolent protest in eight short weeks: Bayard Rustin. 
     
     
     
    This was far from Rustin's first foray into the fight for civil rights. As a world-traveling pacifist, he brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the forefront of US civil rights demonstrations, helped build the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led the fight for economic justice, and played a deeply influential role in the life of Dr. King by helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolent resistance. Rustin's legacy touches many areas of contemporary life—from civil resistance to violent uprisings, democracy to socialism, and criminal justice reform to war resistance. 
     
     
     
    Despite these achievements, Rustin was often relegated to the background. He was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. This volume draws a full picture of Bayard Rustin: a gay, pacifist, socialist political radical who changed the course of US history and set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from LGBTQ+ Pride to Black Lives Matter.

    The Rule of Law - A Very Short...

    Politicians, judges, and citizens commonly use the phrase "rule of law" to describe some good that flows from a legal system. But what precisely is that good? Even in Aristotle's time, there was no agreement on either its nature, and on whether it counted as an unqualified good. Even now, a core rule-of-law aspiration is that law can constrain how power is flexed. But how or when? Disagreement persists as to whether the rule of law is a matter of how law is used or why it is deployed. In consequence, the World Bank, the leaders of Singapore's one-party state, and the Communist Party in China can all offer their own spins on the concept. 
     
     
     
    By charting these disagreements and showing the overlap and the conflicts between different understandings of the concept, Aziz Z. Huq shows how the rule of law can still be used as an important tool for framing and evaluating the goals and functions of a legal system. He traces the idea's historical origins from ancient Greece to the constitutional theorist Albert Venn Dicey to the economist and political philosopher Friedrich Hayek. And he explores how that value is coming under pressure from terrorist threats, macroeconomic crisis, pandemics, autocratic populism, and climate change.
