Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Agreeing to Disagree, Michael W. McConnell and Nathan S. Chapman detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of religious disestablishment in the United States--and how they relate to modern controversies over school funding, accommodation, public prayer, and public religious symbols.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Immigration has been at the heart of US politics for centuries. In Moral and Immoral Whiteness in Immigration Politics, Yalidy Matos examines the inherent moral, value-based, nature of white Americans' immigration attitudes, including preferences on local immigration enforcement programs, federal immigration policy, and levels of legal immigration allowed. She examines the conditions under which white Americans choose to reproduce a system structured on white supremacy or repudiate it, as well as the role of socialization in their choices and immigration attitudes. As immigration continues to be weaponized to divide, Matos highlights the importance in understanding the roots of immigration attitudes in the United States and the ways in which whiteness structures these attitudes.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rocking in the Free World explains how Americans came to believe they had learned the truth about rock 'n' roll, a truth shaped by the Cold War anxieties of the Fifties, the countercultural revolutions (and counter-revolutions) of the Sixties and Seventies, and the end-of-history triumphalism of the Eighties.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff examines this global political trend of nasty politics in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looks at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that the public generally doesn't like nasty politics. But it can also be a way to signal toughness to voters, which is especially important in threatening times. Featuring a powerful theory of why nastiness takes hold in democratic polities, this book highlights how nasty politics influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized anger and withering insults for political gain.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book, Boris Heersink analyzes the DNC and RNC in their role as party-branders. Specifically, he argues the main role of the committees is to try and promote an image of the party to voters in a way they hope will help them win elections. However, in doing so, they often have to make controversial decisions, such as picking sides in big intra-party fights about what policies to support and what voting groups to target or ignore. Through extensive historical analysis, this book shows that the DNC and RNC were part of every major American policy debate throughout the 20th century.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why doesn't healthcare get better and cheaper like the cell phones we carry in our pockets In this book, James B. Rebitzer and Robert S. Rebitzer argue that it's because the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. Further, they show that incentive contracts, professional norms, social narratives, and the nature of competition and disruption in the health sector conspire against cost-reducing innovation. The book not only sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, but it also highlights how we can point innovation in a better direction to deliver more value to patients and society.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unions are back in the news, with new organizing activity abounding, from Amazon to Starbucks. In Union Booms and Busts, authors Judith Stepan-Norris and Jasmine Kerrissey explain the evolution of the U.S. labor movement and shed light on the fluctuating strength of unionization in the past 115 years. Unlike other accounts, this book features detailed data to demonstrate the shifting fortunes of workers over time and by industry. While documenting the economic, political, and legal changes of each period, the authors highlight the union and employer actions that were crucial to creating their changing fortunes. By demonstrating how workers used strikes, elections, and other strategies to win power and employers used legal maneuvers, workforce-based strategies, and race and gender divisions to disrupt unions, the authors reveal data-driven truths about the ongoing history of unionization.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Camp TV of the 1960s is the first book on camp on television that considers the various forms it took during that critical decade. It reconsiders American prime-time programs that drew significantly on aspects of camp such as Batman, The Monkees, The Addams Family, Bewitched, F Troop, British programs including The Avengers, and programs not often associated with camp TV like Snagglepuss. The book also investigates how musical codes convey camp humor, camp's origins and later reappropriation within queer communities, and how camp's multiple meanings allowed for more conservative readings that led to its mass dissemination by the seventies.
