  The Communist Manifesto

  Karl Marx

  'A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Communism.'
  
  So begins one of history's most important documents, a work of such magnitude that it has forever changed not only the scope of world politics, but indeed the course of human civilization. The Communist Manifesto was written in Friedrich Engels's clear, striking prose and declared the earth-shaking ideas of Karl Marx. Upon publication in 1848, it quickly became the credo of the poor and oppressed who longed for a society 'in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.'
  
  The Communist Manifesto contains the seeds of Marx's more comprehensive philosophy, which continues to inspire influential economic, political, social, and literary theories. But the Manifesto is most valuable as an historical document, one that led to the greatest political upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to the establishment of the Communist governments that until recently ruled half the globe.

  33 Ways Not to Screw Up Your Journalism is a succinct, authoritative and encouraging handbook of practical and inspiring tools, techniques and values that journalists, whether they're students or newsroom veterans, need more than ever in our fractured and fact-tossed democracy. "Excellent for journalists of all ages and experience," says broadcast legend Dan Rather. Written by award-winning journalist and writing teacher and coach Chip Scanlan, former writing program director at The Poynter Institute, the book is a survival manual for journalists at a time when the news industry is in free fall and their profession is under assault. Journalists are often thrown into their craft with the most rudimentary understanding of what it means to be a journalist in a democracy. Its short, fact-packed chapters remedy that. It can be consulted at your desk or, slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket or purse, when you face a particularly thorny problem in the field. Its subjects range from treating sources with respect, being aware of your biases, plagiarism, fabrication, and ethical decision-making to letting fear stop you, combatting writer's block, and step-by-step guides to the writing process, interviewing and revision and the importance of multimedia and data journalism. Journalism is in trouble, but it's not too late to save it--or yourself--by mastering, sharing and implementing the most critical skills any reporter can have: the basics. Based on extensive research, personal experience and interviews with reporters, editors and publishers, 33 Ways Not To Screw Up Your Journalism is the essential companion for journalists and their professors and coaches.

  Unsettled - What Climate Science...

  In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
   
  “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
  “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
  “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
   
  You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
   
  With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
   
  When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
   
  Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
  • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
  • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
  • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
   
  Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
