Sinossi

A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: James Buchanan presents a comprehensive anthology of the political philosophy, policies, and significant events of Buchanan's presidency (1857-1861). Written in a formal, historical style, the collection emphasizes primary source documents that illuminate the challenges faced by Buchanan during a tumultuous pre-Civil War era. This compilation includes inaugural addresses, state of the union messages, and letters that provide valuable context about the nation'Äôs divisive issues, including slavery and states' rights. The literary style is characterized by its somber, reflective tone, accurately mirroring the weight of the decisions that would shape America'Äôs trajectory. James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, has often been critiqued for his perceived indecisiveness and ineffective leadership in the lead-up to the Civil War. His background as a lifelong politician, diplomat, and lawyer informs the breadth of his writings. Facing deepening national discord, Buchanan sought to maintain the Union while grappling with both internal strife and external pressures, elements that obviously energize his communications within this compilation. This book is recommended for historians, political science students, and anyone interested in the detailed study of American presidential history. Through Buchanan's own words, readers gain unique insights into the complexities of governance during one of America's most critical periods, making it an essential addition to any scholarly collection.

Glacial - The Inside Story of...

Chelsea Henderson

From mavericks to party standard-bearers, United States Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and presidential candidates have campaigned for four decades espousing their intentions to address the impacts of climate change. 
 
 
 
Glacial: The Inside Story of Climate Politics is the first Inside-the-Beltway account to lay bare the machinations of what went wrong in Washington—how and why our leaders failed to act on climate change as mounting scientific evidence underscored the urgency to do so. Glacial tells a story of behind-the-scenes infighting and power struggles that blocked or derailed federal legislative progress on climate change, even in times of bipartisanship and with polls showing most Americans favored action. 
 
 
 
The good news today is that public opinion is at its highest level of support for climate action, from corporate boardrooms embracing sustainability for business reasons to movements led by passionate younger generations who can't afford to stand mute because it is they who will inherit the worst environmental catastrophes. If the missed opportunities in Washington are instructive, the path to doing so is clear. Our elected officials must use their offices not solely for the power and prestige it bestows upon them personally, but for the public good—and they must do so while there is still time.

News and Democratic Citizens in...

Johanna Dunaway, Kathleen Searles

Though people frequently use mobile technologies for news consumption, evidence from several fields shows that smaller screens and slower connection speeds pose major limitations for meaningful reading. In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. 
 
 
 
Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.
