Capturing News Capturing...

Mel Bunce, Kate Wright, Martin...

The Voice of America (VOA) is the oldest and largest US government-funded international media organization. In 2020, Donald Trump nominated Michael Pack, a right-wing documentarian and close friend of Steve Bannon, to lead the US Agency for Global Media—the independent federal agency overseeing US-funded international media. During Pack's seven month tenure, more than thirty whistleblowers filed complaints against him, and a judge ruled that he had infringed journalists' constitutional right to freedom of speech. 
 
 
 
How did such a major international public service media network become intensely politicized by government allies in such a short time, despite having its editorial independence protected by law? 
 
 
 
Capturing News, Capturing Democracy puts these events in historical and international context—and develops a new analytical framework for understanding government capture and its connection to broader processes of democratic backsliding. Drawing from in-depth interviews with network managers and journalists, and analysis of private correspondence and internal documents, Kate Wright, Martin Scott, and Mel Bunce analyze how political appointees, White House officials, and right-wing media influenced VOA—changing its reporting of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the 2020 presidential election.

Specialized Therapies - Breaking...

Vivian Westlake

This book contains three kinds of therapy:
Psychosexual Therapy - Psychosexual therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to address psychological factors that impact a person's sexual health and intimacy. It explores the complex relationship between emotional well-being, physical health, and sexual experiences. Often, psychosexual therapy is sought by individuals or couples experiencing challenges in their sexual relationships, such as low libido, sexual dysfunction, or communication difficulties around intimacy.
Narrative Therapy - Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories. This perspective emphasizes that people are not defined by their problems, but rather by the way they relate to and interpret their experiences. The central premise of narrative therapy is that we can rewrite our stories, even the ones shaped by challenges, in ways that empower us to lead fulfilling lives.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a collaborative, goal-directed approach to therapy that emphasizes finding solutions to clients' problems rather than focusing extensively on the problems themselves. This method arose in the 1980s, developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee. The therapy stands apart from traditional problem-focused therapies by its strength-based philosophy, its reliance on the client’s own resources, and its focus on the future rather than the past. It offers a clear, practical approach that fosters rapid change and is often used in a brief therapy setting, making it highly efficient for clients seeking to improve their situations in a short amount of time.

Ask Aristotle - The next best...

Vishal Sharma, William Jaworski

Imagine you’ve eaten some hallucinogenic mushrooms—and things aren’t going well. You’re disoriented, panicking. But you can call someone. Who do you call? 
For Vishal, the answer was his philosopher friend William. He has a PhD in philosophy and can deliver one hell of a talk-down to someone in an existential crisis. He helped Vishal through his bad trip by telling him about Aristotle. 
That conversation inspired Ask Aristotle, a refreshingly un-schoolish introduction to one of history’s most legendary thinkers. 
This book is important because it brings a powerful philosophy out of the Ivory Tower and into the real world. It even does this in a playful format—a modern spin on the Platonic dialogue, which makes the reading experience feel like eavesdropping on a fascinating conversation. 
It’s the next best thing to a podcast with Aristotle.
