Sinopsis

In "Public Opinion," Walter Lippmann presents an incisive exploration of the mechanisms that shape public attitudes and beliefs in democratic societies. This seminal work, published in 1922, utilizes a blend of journalism and social psychology to dissect the processes of perception and propaganda. Lippmann argues that the way information is presented influences public understanding, thereby affecting democratic governance. His literary style is both analytical and accessible, employing vivid examples to illustrate how media constructs 'pictures in our heads' that guide our opinions and actions. In a post-World War I context fraught with uncertainty, Lippmann seeks to illuminate the challenges of an informed citizenry in an age of rapidly disseminated information. Walter Lippmann, a prominent journalist and political commentator, was deeply engaged with the issues of his time, grappling with the interplay between media, democracy, and societal beliefs. His experiences in World War I and subsequent journalism career provided him with firsthand insights into the responsibilities of media and the often misleading nature of public perceptions. His intellectual curiosity and critique of democratic ideals led him to assert the need for a more informed public, setting the stage for his influential perspectives in "Public Opinion." "Public Opinion" is essential reading for anyone interested in media studies, political science, and the intricacies of democracy. Lippmann's exploration remains eerily relevant in today's media-saturated environment, encouraging readers to critically evaluate the sources of their beliefs and the frameworks of their understandings. Engaging with this work equips readers with the analytical tools to navigate the complexities of contemporary public discourse.

A personal, intimate, memoir spanning 70 years, in three parts, describing my childhood in the UK and New Zealand, my 35 years as a New Zealand diplomat, and the hundreds of amazing individuals I met on the way, from farming folk to Kings, Queens and Presidents. Part One is the story of an English boy growing up on a farm in rural Devon and Somerset in an extended family, and then, aged 9, moving to rural New Zealand. It covers my school years, my year as a volunteer teacher, aged 17, at an all boys school, in the South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga and my year as a university student in a still divided Germany. Part Two describes my career as a junior, then senior, New Zealand diplomat, and my postings in Fiji, Canada, Geneva, Samoa, Germany and Singapore, the last three as Ambassador. Part Three argues that New Zealand should become a republic in the Commonwealth, with its own Head of State. It describes, too, my liberating journey from Anglicanism to freedom from any religion. I have aimed to tell the memoir with a sense of humour, humility and (for the most part) optimism!

Wage Labor And Capital

Originally written as a series of newspaper articles in 1847, Wage-Labor and Capital were intended to give an overview of Marx’s central theories regarding the economic relationships between workers and capitalists. These theories outlined include the Marxian form of the Labour Theory of Value, which distinguishes “labor” from “labor-power”, and the Theory of Concentration of Capital, which states that capitalism tends towards the creation of monopolies and the disenfranchisement of the middle and working classes. These theories were later elaborated in Volume 1 of Capital, published in 1867. Karl Heinrich Marx FRSA was a German philosopher, a critic of political economy, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist, and socialist revolutionary. His best-known titles are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and the four-volume Das Kapital.

MSNBC's legal expert breaks down the ways disinformation has become a tool to drive voters to extremes, disempower our legal structures, and consolidate power in the hands of the few. 
 
 
 
American society is more polarized than ever before. We are strategically being pushed apart by disinformation—the deliberate spreading of lies disguised as truth—and it comes at us from all sides: opportunists on the far right, Russian misinformed social media influencers, among others. It's endangering our democracy and causing havoc in our electoral system, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and in our Capitol. Advances in technology including rapid developments in artificial intelligence threaten to make the problems even worse by amplifying false claims and manufacturing credibility. In Attack from Within, legal scholar and analyst Barbara McQuade, shows us how to identify the ways disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society and how we can fight against it. 
 
 
 
Disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others. The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country's hard-won democracy.

This 2025 book, The Human Condition, by biologist Jeremy Griffith is one of his three most important presentations on the human condition, serving as a powerful short-in-length bridge between the other two — his very short introduction in THE Interview and his comprehensive presentation in FREEDOM. It also takes his human-race-saving insights to a new depth of clarity — so it is a MUST READ! 
It is not a big book but has everything in it. BAM, BAM, BAM, step by step, massive explanation after massive explanation. Before you know it you’re right at the bottom of the well looking in on the horror and reality of our prison of depression and anger, and you just know it’s true, it’s so obvious and clear. 
And then it just keeps going, just keeps giving example after example of the problem, which all the time is coupled with the relief of the redeeming understanding of ourselves – and the freedom to leave all the madness behind now that humanity’s great battle is won. 
This book is everything, it’s all undeniable, it just puts an end to the human condition forever, kills it stone dead – thank goodness!
