  The Accidental Equalizer - How...

  A startling discovery—that job market success after college is largely random—forces a reappraisal of education, opportunity, and the American dream. 
   
  As a gateway to economic opportunity, a college degree is viewed by many as America’s great equalizer. And it’s true: wealthier, more connected, and seemingly better-qualified students earn exactly the same pay as their less privileged peers. Yet, the reasons why may have little to do with bootstraps or self-improvement—it might just be dumb luck. That’s what sociologist Jessi Streib proposes in The Accidental Equalizer, a conclusion she reaches after interviewing dozens of hiring agents and job-seeking graduates. 
   
  Streib finds that luck shapes the hiring process from start to finish in a way that limits class privilege in the job market. Employers hide information about how to get ahead and force students to guess which jobs pay the most and how best to obtain them. Without clear routes to success, graduates from all class backgrounds face the same odds at high pay. The Accidental Equalizer is a frank appraisal of how this “luckocracy” works and its implications for the future of higher education and the middle class. Although this system is far from eliminating American inequality, Streib shows that it may just be the best opportunity structure we have—for better and for worse.

  Poorly Understood - What America...

  Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. 
   
   
   
  Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty. Mark Robert Rank, Lawrence M. Eppard, and Heather E. Bullock powerfully demonstrate that the realities of poverty are much different than the myths. The idealized image of American society is one of abundant opportunities, with hard work being rewarded by economic prosperity. But what if this picture is wrong? What if the reasons for poverty are largely beyond the control of individuals? These are much more disturbing realities to consider because they call into question the very core of America's identity. 
   
   
   
  Armed with the latest research, Poorly Understood not only challenges the myths of poverty and inequality, but it explains why these myths continue to exist, providing an innovative blueprint for how the nation can move forward to effectively alleviate American poverty.

  Technology has been a driving force behind human progress, shaping societies and transforming the way people live, work, and communicate. From the earliest tools created by prehistoric humans to the advanced artificial intelligence of today, technological advancements have continuously redefined the boundaries of possibility. Understanding this evolution provides insight into how innovations have shaped civilization and what the future may hold. 
  The historical development of technology dates back to the invention of simple tools made from stone, wood, and metal. Early human civilizations relied on these tools for survival, gradually advancing to more sophisticated techniques in agriculture, construction, and warfare. The discovery of fire, the wheel, and the development of writing systems marked significant milestones that laid the foundation for future progress. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries ushered in a period of rapid technological growth, introducing mechanized production, steam power, and transportation systems that reshaped economies and societies. 
  Key innovations have played a crucial role in shaping modern civilization. The invention of electricity revolutionized industries and led to the creation of household appliances, lighting, and communication systems. The 20th century saw remarkable advancements, including the telephone, radio, television, and, eventually, computers. These inventions not only improved the quality of life but also connected people across vast distances, fostering global communication and collaboration. The internet, developed in the late 20th century, became one of the most transformative innovations, changing the way individuals access information, conduct business, and interact socially.
