"Not a conventional Trump-era book. It is less about the daily mayhem in the White House than about the unprecedented capitulation of a political party. This book will endure for helping us understand not what is happening but why it happened.... [An] indispensable work."—Washington Post

This book is a primer. It minimizes the descriptions of the science its conclusions are based on. It briefly describes what is essential to human nature, after the complexities of culture are subtracted out. It also only briefly describes how human nature separates on gender roles determined by the sexual process. In abbreviated form, it tells the story of life, from animals to us, and from us as individuals to us as members of society. It shows how...

In Toxic Talk, Bill Press exposed the ways in which the extreme right-wing media has done an end run around the American voting populace by exerting a disproportionate control over open political debate. In The Obama Hate Machine, Press returns to show how the Right has taken rhetoric to slanderous new levels in attacking the nation's forty-fourth president.
But, presidents have always been attacked like this, right? Wrong. As the author shows, while...

Edgy and thought-provoking, Left Out takes aim at the NDP, Saskatchewan's natural governing party since the 1940s. Outspoken broadcaster and writer John Gormley pulls no punches in an entertaining and informative account of Saskatchewan politics that is both a lament and a challenge he issues to a new generation of voters. From the hundreds of thousands of people who fled the province to Saskatchewan's decline in influence, Gormley pins this and more...

En diciembre de 2015 sucedió lo impensado: Mauricio Macri ganó la elección presidencial derrotando al poderoso aparato del PJ.

Pasadas las elecciones de medio término, algo se modificó. Cambiemos demostró ser un proyecto con decidida vocación de poder,...

America is "currently fighting its second Civil War." Partisan politics are "ripping this country apart." The 2016 election "will go down as the most acrimonious presidential campaign of all." Such statements have become standard fare in American politics. In a time marked by gridlock and incivility, it seems the only thing Americans can agree on is this: we're more divided today than we've ever been in our history. In Unstable Majorities Morris P....

Description
An insidious snobbery has taken root in parts of progressive Britain. Working-class voters have flexed their political muscles and helped to change the direction of the country, but in doing so they have been met with disdain and even abuse from elites in politics, culture and business. They have been derided as uneducated, bigoted turkeys voting for Christmas, as Empire apologists patriotic to the point of delusion.
At election time, we hear a lot...

Si el populismo no ha muerto, si está "insoportablemente vivo", es porque funciona. Y su eficacia se debe, en buena medida, a que ofrece una forma convincente de explicar el mundo, reflejar las preocupaciones y los miedos de los ciudadanos y proponerles una salida concreta. En otras palabras, sostiene un discurso, una historia con héroes y villanos que da sentido a una realidad que, en el siglo XXI, parece haberlo perdido. Esto vale tanto para Hugo...

The information in this book goes much deeper than the unveiling of Mitt Romneys political record. For the first time in history, we could see a Mormon President at the helm. Do you have any idea what this possible next President believes? Why should his religious beliefs matter to you? When you get through Part I of this book, these questions will be answered. This is NOT a Kennedy Catholic moment. Mitt Romneys beliefs and convictions are so uncanny...
