resurrecting common sense in america

Buy Cheap Resurrecting Common Sense in America


An essay series intended to provide the reader with historical perspective on societal problems facing America today while offering progressive, moderate and conservative solutions to those same problems. The essay series examines issues from American Health Care Reform to Tort Reform to Balancing the American Budget to the Beltway Disconnect to Foreign Policy and Environmental reform. The author sets up an ongoing narrative bringing with characters from American History to many of the elite minds of days long gone by. Resurrecting Common Sense in America may one day be considered "Fixing American Political Policy for Dummies." This essay series which first appeared on its own web site quickly found a national audience and demanded the move to an e-book format. Resurrecting Common Sense in America isn't a book for those who prefer to contend there is only one side to any debate. Perhaps its greatest strength remains, its core message, "We can make tomorrow a better world for everyone, if we learn from the past not to make the same mistakes.".......

no sense of place: the impact of electronic media on social behavior

Buy Cheap No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior


How has television affected our everyday experience? This question has generated endless arguments and speculations, but no thinker has addressed the issue with such force and originality as Joshua Meyrowitz in No Sense of Place. Advancing a daring and sophisticated theory, Meyrowitz shows how television and other electronic media create new social situations that are no longer shaped by where we are or who is "with" us.
While other media experts have limited the debate to program content, Meyrowitz focuses on the ways in which television has rearranged "who knows what about whom," making it impossible for us to behave with each other in traditional ways. He shows how television has lifted many of the veils of secrecy between children and adults, men and women, and politicians and average citizens. The result is a series of revolutionary changes, including the blurring of age, gender, and authority distinctions........
