Synopsis

In "Congressional Government," Woodrow Wilson presents a thorough analysis of the United States Congress, offering a critical evaluation of its structure and functions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His literary style is both analytical and persuasive, employing clear prose to dissect the complexities of legislative processes and the interplay between the various branches of government. Wilson's work emerges from the Progressive Era's ethos, reflecting a desire for reform and greater efficiency within the political system, as well as a response to contemporary criticisms of legislative gridlock and partisanship. Woodrow Wilson, a political scientist and historian, later became the 28th President of the United States. His deep understanding of the intricacies of governance was shaped by both his academic background and his observations of the political landscape of his time. Wilson was profoundly influenced by the challenges posed by an evolving American democracy, which incited him to advocate for a more dynamic and responsive Congressional framework in this foundational work, seeking to reconcile theory with the practice of political power. "Congressional Government" is essential reading for anyone interested in American political theory and the evolution of government. Wilson's insights remain strikingly relevant today, providing valuable context for contemporary discussions about legislative effectiveness and executive power. This book not only enriches our understanding of Congress but also invites readers to critically engage with the mechanics of democratic governance.

    Sir Roger Bannister - born on March 23, 1929 - is an English former athlete best known for being the first to run the mile in less than four minutes, remarkably while practicing as a junior doctor. This was achieved on May 6, 1954, at Iffley Road Track in Oxford, with Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher providing the pacing. The resulting time was 3 min. 59.4 sec. 
    Retiring from running shortly after, Bannister went on to become a distinguished neurologist and an important contributor to research into the human nervous system. The following is Bannister's perspective on the famous race.

    The Greater Reset - Reclaiming...

    From a hidden spark in the early days of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic soon roared across every nation, decimating lives, economies, and social norms. Rather than uniting people to defeat a common enemy, the pandemic has widened economic, political, and social divisions everywhere. It has pitted faith against reason and inflamed the global scourges of poverty, racism, war, and environmental destruction. 
    The pandemic has also surfaced proposals to remake the global economy and society. Most notable—and infamous—are a set of recommendations from the 2020 World Economic Forum calling for “the Great Reset.” Blending welfare state socialism and monopoly capitalism, this would systematically eliminate a fundamental bulwark of personal independence and freedom—the universal right to, and rights of, private property. 
    Is the Great Reset the malevolent scheme of a vast global elite to control the lives of ordinary people or a well-intentioned but dangerously misguided approach to correct systemic ills? Regardless, there is a question we all must ask: how will the dignity, freedom, and power of each human person be protected and promoted when universal human rights and their Transcendent Source have been rendered irrelevant? In The Greater Reset, Greaney and Brohawn trace the historical, religious, political, and economic roots of humanity’s perilous condition and how returning to God-given, universal principles of natural law, with equal access to the institutions of the common good, can help build a more just, liberating, prosperous, and hopeful future for every person.

    Understanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions. 
     
     
     
    Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? 
     
     
     
    Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence our everyday behavior, and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.
