Children as Pawns
Head Start. Bilingual education. Small class size. Social promotion. School funding. Virtually every school system in America has had to face these issues over the past thirty years. Advocates and dissenters have declared confidently that the research is on their side. But is it? In the first book to bring together the recent history of educational policy and politics with the research evidence, Timothy Hacsi presents the illuminating, often-forgotten stories of these five controversial topics. He sifts through the complicated evaluation research literature and compares the policies that have been adopted to the best evidence about what actually works. He lucidly explains what the major studies show, what they don't, and how they have been misunderstood and misrepresented. Hacsi shows how rarely educational policies are based on solid research evidence, and how programs that sound plausible simply do not satisfy the complex needs of real children.

Never Trump
In early 2016, as it became increasingly apparent that Donald Trump might actually become the Republican nominee, a movement within conservatism formed to stop him: Never Trump.

Just as importantly, they saw him as erratic, mendacious, and unfit--the sort of person the founders warned about and someone who would bring everlasting shame to the Republican Party. Over the coming months, many well-known and previously influential figures signed on to the Never Trump movement. Of course, their eff...
Coronavirus Criminals and Pandemic Profiteers
A furious denunciation of America’s coronavirus criminals Hundreds of thousands of deaths were caused not by the vicissitudes of nature but by the callous and opportunistic decisions of powerful people, as revealed here by John Nichols. On March 10, 2020, president Donald Trump told a nation worried about a novel coronavirus, “We’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.” It has since been estimated that had Trump simply taken the same steps as other G7 countries, 40 percent fewer Americans would have died. And it was not just the president. His inner circle, including Mike Pence and Jared Kushner, downplayed the crisis ...
YouTube
YouTube is one of the most well-known and widely discussed sites of participatory media in the contemporary online environment, and it is the first genuinely mass-popular platform for user-created video.

The Gibbons worked their whole lives saving for their future. But at what cost? When it’s time to retire and reap the rewards of every sacrifice Vole insisted they make, they discover Bay is dying, and her burning desire to see the world beyond small-town Dorset will die with her. Grief-stricken, Vole is magically granted the ability to stop and restart time. Using his powers, he takes Bay on a journey to all the places she dreamed of seeing. But traveling through a time-frozen world has its dangers. Nothing changes: water doesn’t flow, fires don’t spark, no one can move or die... except Vole. When time stops, Vole grows old and unhinged; when time passes, Bay’s life fades. In the ultimate race against time, Vole must carry them thousands of miles around the world and confront his inner demons along the way, or forever fail the woman he loves.
