  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

  How to Sell a Genocide - The...

  As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the United States media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick "war on terror" framework. 
   
  How to Sell a Genocide is a thorough indictment of United States corporate media's role in enabling—and, at times, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the United States' central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people. 
   
  Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active, sustained complicity of the United States media.

  Urban Sociology - The Study of...

  Urban sociology is a dynamic field of study that explores the social, economic, and political aspects of urban spaces and how they shape individuals and communities. It draws from various theoretical foundations to understand the complexities of city life and the ways in which urban environments influence human behavior. Several foundational theories have played a pivotal role in shaping the field, each offering a distinct perspective on urban society. 
  One of the earliest and most influential theories is the Chicago School of Sociology, which emerged in the early 20th century. Scholars such as Robert Park and Ernest Burgess focused on the spatial distribution of social groups within cities, emphasizing the concept of the “ecology” of cities. They argued that cities, like natural ecosystems, are composed of different areas where social groups interact, often resulting in patterns of segregation and social conflict. This approach highlighted the dynamic relationship between individuals and their urban environment, with a particular focus on issues like migration, social disorganization, and the impact of urban growth. 
  Another key theoretical foundation is Karl Marx's analysis of urbanization. Marxism focuses on the role of capitalism in shaping urban spaces, viewing cities as sites of economic exploitation and class struggle. According to Marxist theory, the growth of cities is intrinsically linked to the development of capitalism, which creates divisions between the working class and the capitalist elite. This perspective emphasizes the role of urban spaces in perpetuating social inequalities, as the wealthy class controls resources and the working class is often marginalized or displaced.

And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much an audiobook about death, but an audiobook about life and what matters in the end. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
