Summary

Less than an hour by train from New York City...Croton Point Park encapsulates the history, beauty and promise of the Hudson Valley. The Westchester County Park encompasses miles of Hudson River shoreline with astonishing views and remnants of the region's past. Incredible shell mounds shed light on the Native peoples who inhabited the area generations prior to European colonization. The remains of the first commercial vineyards in the Northeast are just steps away from historic brickyards that helped build Manhattan. The Point served as a dumping ground for years until local efforts restored the park into a model of environmental conservation. Today, bald eagles have returned to nest alongside visitors exploring remarkable landmarks, sailing the waters of the Hudson or enjoying a scenic picnic. Authors Scott Craven and Caroline Ranald Curvan present Westchester's crown jewel, Croton Point Park.

    The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, is the ideal template for recognizing and maximizing your leadership abilities. 
This pivotal event, the most written-about in American history, offers a rich narrative, emotional insights, and complex strategies that make it an unparalleled resource for understanding leadership. 
Here’s why Gettysburg stands out and why citing other historical events for our purpose would be unnecessarily redundant. Perhaps surprisingly, this isn’t a history book. Instead, it’s a powerful guide that harnesses the lessons from a significant historical event to illuminate vital life principles. This book not only enhances your leadership skills but also demonstrates how understanding human nature can turn to your advantage. 
The author offers a groundbreaking approach to history - one that moves beyond mere facts and statistics to use historical insights and challenging questions as a catalyst for your personal growth. In a paraphrase of historian John Toland, he wisely suggests, “History doesn’t repeat itself, human nature does.” 
Embrace this novel perspective and let the lessons from Gettysburg energize your life’s journey.

    Does it matter who owns and funds the media? As journalists and management consultants set off in search of new business models, there's a pressing need to understand anew the economic underpinnings of journalism and its role in democratic societies. 
 
 
 
How Media Ownership Matters provides a fresh approach to understanding news media power, moving beyond the typical emphasis on market concentration or media moguls. Through a comparative analysis of the US, Sweden, and France, as well as interviews of news executives and editors and an original collection of industry data, this book maps and analyzes four ownership models: market, private, civil society, and public. Highlighting the effects of organizational logics, funding, and target audiences on the content of news, the authors identify both the strengths and weaknesses various forms of ownership have in facilitating journalism that meets the democratic ideals of reasoned, critical, and inclusive public debate. Ultimately, How Media Ownership Matters provides a roadmap to understanding how variable forms of ownership are shaping the future of journalism and democracy.
