Sinopsis

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.

    A Realistic Blacktopia - Why We...

    The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
     
     
     
    In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
     
     
     
    A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.

    I Was Never Here - My True...

    An ex-spy lifts the lid on life in the secret serviceA Globe and Mail and Toronto Star bestseller!Andrew Kirsch didn’t grow up watching spy movies, or dreaming about being a real-life James Bond. He was hardly aware that Canada even had its own intelligence service—let alone knew what its officers did. But when a terrorist attack occurred near the office of his financial services job, all of a sudden fighting terrorism meant a lot more to him than the markets. Within 18 months he had landed a job with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)—where he spent the next decade of his life.In I Was Never Here, Kirsch (now an in-demand security consultant) spills the secrets of what life as an intelligence officer is really like, and dispels a few myths along the way. With humour, honesty, and candour, Kirsch shares his on-the-ground experience (or as much of it as he’s allowed to) of becoming a member of CSIS: from his vetting and training, to his initial desk job as a policy analyst, to his rise up the ranks to leading covert special operations missions. If you’ve ever wondered whether spies can have real dating lives, how they handle family responsibilities, or how they come up with cover stories or aliases, you’re in luck.From the time he tried to get the code names “Burgundy” and “Anchorman” assigned to human sources (with no luck), to the night a covert operation was almost thwarted by a flyer delivery man, Kirsch takes you behind the scenes with an authentic view of Canada’s spy agency, and the intricate intelligence-sharing apparatus that works day and night to keep us safe. I Was Never Here is also a testament to one man’s drive to serve his country, and the sacrifices, big and small, that he made along the way.

    Why were the sordid deeds of Jeffery Epstein concealed for two decades? Why was inquiry into the origin of covid suppressed? Why are social media sites censoring scientists, doctors, journalists, and scholars? 
    Through dozens of absorbing exposés, Red White & Blind reveals the corporate media's deliberate lies, tendentious censorship, and ironic use of the term "disinformation." This deceit has driven faith in corporate news to all-time lows, but it has also birthed an independent media revolution—a New Enlightenment—enabling Americans to see through the walls of "confirmation bias" and perceive the world more directly and accurately than ever before. 
    In this book, you will learn:How the Father of Propaganda convinced Americans to love bananas, World War I, and the color green.Why the notion of "objective, professional journalism" was invented in the early 1900s.How the CIA placed agents in the media and why they likely still do.How to understand family and friends with any set of political views.Why today's social media censorship violates the First Amendment.Why "fact-checking" websites almost always fail.The meaning of "gaslighting," "shadowbanning," and "narrative management."

    Buy now to get the main key ideas from Newt Gingrich’s Beyond Biden 
      
    The 2020 presidential election was one of the most divisive in American history. While Joe Biden came out victorious, the extremely small margin of victory demonstrated the large portion of Americans who wanted to return to conservative values. 
    Newt Gingrich is one of those people, and as he explains in Beyond Biden, the conservative electoral base has nothing to fear - following Biden, the Democratic Party is set for a collapse. Too long have they waged an unjust war against hard-working, traditionalist Americans, using incomprehensible weapons like Critical Race Theory and woke ideologies. Even with the help of the liberal media, Democrats are pushing their moderate followers to the fringes. 
    To protect our country, both domestically and abroad, we must return to, and embrace, our core American values: freedom, liberty, and a working spirit - the exact same values that made this country great in the first place.
