Sinossi

Public Misinformation examines the pervasive impact of false information, especially concerning public health, in our digitally driven world. It explores how misinformation spreads online, influencing choices about vaccines and treatments, and eroding trust in science. The book uniquely presents this information in a way that's accessible to a broad audience, even without prior specialized knowledge, making it valuable for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand this complex issue.

 
The book delves into the creation and dissemination of health-related misinformation, along with the psychological and sociological factors that make people susceptible. For example, confirmation bias can lead individuals to readily accept information that aligns with their existing beliefs, regardless of its accuracy. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for combating the harmful effects of misinformation campaigns.

 
The book begins by defining key concepts and then progresses through case studies, analysis of psychological mechanisms, and proposed mitigation strategies. It draws from diverse sources, including empirical studies and social media analytics, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the misinformation ecosystem and offers practical guidance for evaluating sources and promoting media literacy.

    An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. 
     
     
     
    With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. 
     
     
     
    Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's. 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.

    This is the true story of Winston Churchill and Scotland.
    In the popular imagination, Winston Churchill is the bulldog of 1940 – uncompromising and Conservative. But in 1922 he was the reforming, progressive Liberal MP for Dundee who, after five successive election wins and a majority of 15,000, could confidently claim to have a seat for life.
    But one man had other ideas. This is the story of how god-fearing teetotaller Edwin Scrymgeour fought and won an election against Britain's most famous politician. Andrew Liddle vividly brings to life an extraordinary rivalry as it unfolded over fifteen years, and also explores for the first time Churchill's controversial Scottish legacy, including his attitude to devolution.

    Why did the Biden White House celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday? Why is the bureaucracy prioritizing electric vehicles and less reliable forms of energy when Americans struggle to pay the bills amid historic inflation and higher gas prices? 
     
     
     
    America's bureaucrats appear to live on a different planet from the working class in this country, and that's no accident. The Woketopus explains how America's elites are pulling the strings in Washington to prioritize their pet projects over the needs of the American people. O'Neil's prose reveals how the left's NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government. 
     
     
     
    Discover how the donors who helped prop up the anti-Israel protests on college campuses are impacting policy in Washington; pull back the curtain on how federal agencies became engines of cultural change; and find out how the Left's dark money influences federal law enforcement to demonize conservatives in an attempt to silence anyone who wants to criticize this agenda.

    As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. 
     
     
     
    Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.
