Ideas/Theory
Electronic Wasteland: Emerging from the Ruins of the Information Age
”Brightly lit screens have come to dominate daily life over the past half century … we typically accept them with an enthusiasm that overrides cautious skepticism from within or from about… This polemical study of the television and the Internet will leave any reader who engages with this short but forceful work thinking about the repercussions and opportunity costs of spending time in the Electronic Wastelands of modern day.”
Terrorist Organizational Behavior
Terrorist Organizational Behavior
This looks to be an in-depth analysis by someone who’s been in the U.S. Dept of Defense for 25 years. “…the contributions of this research include the identification of: (1) a correlation between the Long Term Orientation of a nation and the performance of terrorist organizations; (2) the preference of terrorist organizations for injury incidents rather than fatality incidents; (3) the lack of correlation between terrorist organizational size and performance; and (4) the differences in performance between terrorist organizations with a predominantly religious ideology and organizations with a predominantly political ideology.”
With Liberty and Coverage for all
US healthcare politics. “…this book examines the history and current state of affairs of the health care industry and proposes both political and personal solutions such as legislating patient safety standards and staying off the "who shall die" lists with interventions for prevention.” I gather the slant of the book is against the new U.S. legislation, so you are forewarned.
The Obama Confession: Secret Fear. Secret Fury.
“psychiatrist and forensic profiler Dr. Andrew G. Hodges gets inside the mind of …Barack Obama…Using a unique psycholinguistic technique he calls ‘ThoughtPrint Decoding’ to ‘read between the lines’ of people's statements--called ‘the cutting-edge of forensic science’ by expert investigators.” Interesting author bio: “He has identified killers by studying ransom notes, emails, letters, and police interviews to spot secret confessions...decrypted letters from BTK to predict that he was about to kill again--the only profiler to do so… “
