What distinguishes history as a discipline from other fields of study? That's the animating question of Sarah Maza's Thinking About History, a general introduction to the field of history that revels in its eclecticism and highlights the inherent tensions and controversies that shape it. Designed for the classroom, Thinking About History is organized around big questions: Whose history do we write, and how does that affect what stories get told and how they are told? How did we come to view the nation as the inevitable context for history, and what happens when we move outside those boundaries? What is the relation among popular, academic, and public history, and how should we evaluate sources? What is the difference between description and interpretation, and how do we balance them? Maza provides choice examples in place of definitive answers, and the result is a book that will spark classroom discussion and offer students a view of history as a vibrant, ever-changing field of inquiry that is thoroughly relevant to our daily lives.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP on local web). Loop Protection If the switch detects a loop, it disables the source port from forwarding data packets originating from the switch to avoid broadcast storms. BPDU Filtering Drops BPDU packets when STP is enabled globally but disabled on a specific port. Jumbo Frame Support Supports up to 9216 bytes frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers. IGMP Snooping v1/v2 Improves network performance through multicast filtering, instead of flooding traffic on all ports. Link Aggregation Groups together multiple ports up to a maximum of eight (8) ports per trunk automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form a high-bandwidth connection to the network backbone that helps prevent traffic bottlenecks. The 8-port models support 4 trunks, 24-port models support 8 trunks, and 48-port models support 16 trunks. LLDP/LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) Defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN for automatic configuration of network devices such as IP phones. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) The ARP table displays all of the IP addresses that have been resolved to MAC addresses, either dynamically or through static entry configuration. Additional Features Accessed Through Local Web-Management Interface Top Event Dashboard Provides notifications for critical events and a quick access to the latest log events. Quick Start-Up and VLAN Wizard Enables automatic configuring of the initial settings such IP address, device information, and system time. VLAN wizard can be used for setting up initial VLAN IDs and port membership.

Schedule Configuration Global Schedule feature can be applied to time-based ACLs, port or interface shutdown, or PoE power delivery; up to 3 schedules can be configured. PoE scheduling allows user to configure a specific day/time of the week (e.g. business hours) for Instant On switches to supply power to connected devices (e.g. surveillance cameras, access points etc.). Quality of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization Provides time-sensitive packets (like VoIP and video) with priority over other traffic based on DSCP or IEEE 802.1p classification. IEEE 802.1p/Q VLAN Tagging Delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic; supports IEEE 802.1Q. Class of Service (CoS) Sets the IEEE 802.1p/DSCP priority to queue mapping (4 queues). Supports strict priority queuing (SP) or weighted round robin (WRR) queuing. SP and WRR queuing can be configured on individual switch ports. Advanced Classifier Based QoS Classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information. Access Switching SFP/SFP+ Fiber Connectivity Provides fiber connections for uplinks and other connections across longer distances than copper cabling can support. SFP ports are in addition to available copper Ethernet ports, providing a higher total number of available ports. Two (2) SFP 1G ports available on 8-port models and four (4) SFP+ 1G/10G ports on 24-/48 port models. Ethernet Alliance Certified Class 4 PoE (IEEE 802.3at) Provides up to 30 W per port, which allows support of the class 4 PoE capable devices such as video IP phones, wireless access points, and advanced pan/tilt/zoom security cameras, as well as any 15.4 W IEEE 802.3af-compliant end device; mitigates the cost of additional electrical cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments. Auto-PoE Power Configuration The switch automatically assigns the required power to a port for a PD device based on Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). PoE Power Allocation Support multiple methods (LLDP-MED automatic, class of PoE, or usage-based) to allocate PoE power for more efficient energy savings. Auto MDI/MDI-X Adjusts automatically for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100/1000 ports. Network Security TPM-Based Security Includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure hardware- based generation and storage of cryptographic keys used for secure connection to the Instant On cloud portal. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Support Support for up to 256 VLANs with a VLAN ID range of 2-4093. IEEE 802.1X Access Control Authentication of network users on a per port basis prior to permitting network access. Port authentication includes RADIUS assigned VLAN, dynamic VLAN creation, guest VLAN or into an unauthenticated VLAN. Automatic Denial-of-Service Protection Monitors for malicious attacks and protects the network by blocking the attacks. Packet Storm Protection Protects against unknown unicast, broadcast and multicast storms with user-defined thresholds. RADIUS The switch supports RADIUS authentication with primary and backup server configuration. Automatic VLAN Assignment - RADIUS Assigned VLANs Automatically assigns users to the appropriate VLAN based on their identity and location. RADIUS Accounting A robust set of attributes and statistics are available for collecting information from the switch. Management VLAN ID Provides secure management access to administrators in the specified VLAN. Link Flap Prevention Minimizes the network disruption by automatically detecting and disabling ports that experience link flap events. Performance and Efficiency Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Compliant with IEEE 802.3az standard requirements to save energy during periods of low data activity. Auto-Port Shut Down The switch saves power by automatically shutting down power to inactive ports. Power is restored on a port upon link detection. Energy Savings Status The switch provides an estimated cumulative energy savings due to green Ethernet features being enabled. Energy-Efficient Cooling Includes variable speed fans operating only at the speed necessary to maintain operating temperature to reduce excess noise and power consumption. Fan-Less Operation Fan-less design for 8-port models, 24- and 48-port non-PoE models, making the switches ideal for office deployments. Switching Features IEEE 802.3x Flow Control Provides a flow-throttling mechanism propagated through the network to prevent packet loss at a congested node. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Supports standard IEEE 802.1D STP, IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster convergence, and IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP on local web). Loop Protection If the switch detects a loop, it disables the source port from forwarding data packets originating from the switch to avoid broadcast storms. BPDU Filtering Drops BPDU packets when STP is enabled globally but disabled on a specific port. Jumbo Frame Support Supports up to 9216 bytes frame size to improve the performance of large data transfers. IGMP Snooping v1/v2 Improves network performance through multicast filtering, instead of flooding traffic on all ports. Link Aggregation Groups together multiple ports up to a maximum of eight (8) ports per trunk automatically using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), or manually, to form a high-bandwidth connection to the network backbone that helps prevent traffic bottlenecks. The 8-port models support 4 trunks, 24-port models support 8 trunks, and 48-port models support 16 trunks. LLDP/LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery) Defines a standard extension of LLDP that stores values for parameters such as QoS and VLAN for automatic configuration of network devices such as IP phones. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) The ARP table displays all of the IP addresses that have been resolved to MAC addresses, either dynamically or through static entry configuration. Additional Features Accessed Through Local Web-Management Interface Top Event Dashboard Provides notifications for critical events and a quick access to the latest log events. Quick Start-Up and VLAN Wizard Enables automatic configuring of the initial settings such IP address, device information, and system time. VLAN wizard can be used for setting up initial VLAN IDs and port membership. Access Control Lists (ACLs) Enables network traffic filtering by creating an ACL, adds rules and matches criteria to an ACL, and applies the ACL to permit or deny on one or more interfaces or a VLAN. Supports for 50 inbound IPv4 and MAC ACLs with up to 480 ACEs. IPv6 Host Enables switches to be managed and deployed at the IPv6 network's edge. Rate Limiting Sets and enforces per-port ingress traffic limits based on percentages or packets per second. Protected Ports Ports in a port isolation group are restricted from forwarding Layer 2 traffic between ports in that group, providing data privacy and security. SCP and TFTP File Transfer Provides different mechanisms for secure file transfer through SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) or TFTP. Dual Image Support Provide independent primary and secondary software images for backup while upgrading. User Account Management Password strength checking and aging feature provides enhanced security to user account administration to the local web management interface.

David Mitchell's 2014 bestseller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything's got worse. We've gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It's probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up. But if you're determined to give it a go, you might enjoy this eclectic collection (or eclection) of David Mitchell's attempts to make light of all that darkness. Scampi, politics, the Olympics, terrorism, exercise, rude street names, inheritance tax, salad cream, proportional representation and farts are all touched upon by Mitchell's unremitting laser of chit-chat, as he negotiates a path between the commercialisation of Christmas and the true spirit of Halloween. Read this book and slightly change your life!

What is the best way to think about the world? How often do we consider how our own thinking might impact the way we approach our daily decisions? Could it help or hinder our relationships, our careers, or even our health?Thinking about thinking is something we rarely do, yet it is something science questions all the time.David Sumpter has spent decades studying what we could all learn from the mindsets of scientists, and Four Ways of Thinking is the result. Here he reveals the four easily applied approaches to our problems: statistical, interactive, chaotic and complex. Combining engaging personal experience with practical advice and inspiring tales of ground-breaking scientific pioneers (with a tiny bit of number crunching along the way), Sumpter explains how these tried and tested methods can help us with every conundrum, from how to bicker less with our partners to pitching to a tough crowd - and in doing so change our lives.

Audiokniha: Byl jednou jeden dům, divný až na půdu. A plný záludných vzdušných zámků… Ta černočerná vrátka do zahrady anglického baráku zničeného náletem tu vlastně nejsou. Den otevřených dvířek do domu v uličce Slade Alley se totiž pořádá jen jedenkrát za devět let, vždy v sobotu večer před halloweenskou verzí Dušiček, protože o nic jiného jeho správcům ani nejde. Po šťavnatě vystresované lidské duši by se tihle emoční upíři utloukli, jelikož jedině díky ní si v další periodě zlodušství udrží své superschopnosti – a zatímco ji z kořisti vysávají, mlaskají u toho jako Drákula, Vetřelec a Demogorgon dohromady. Dovedou se obětem znamenitě vemluvit a vystavět jim vzdušné zámky z nenaplněných snů srážených frustracemi, načež v těchto šalbách uváznou osamělý kluk s náběhem na aspergera, vyhořelý polda s náběhem na pleš, oplácaná studentka z partičky lovců senzací a po další devítileté pauze i její lesbická investigativní sestra. Chodba k půdě prokleté nemovitosti se tak postupně plní podobiznami obezdušených nebožáků s vykotlanýma očima, než se… než se…? Ucho utrhne? Autor Atlasu mraků ví, že oko je do duše okno, a okořenil tento poznatek poetikou ve stylu Scary Movie. Výsledkem jeho další hry, v níž se Stephen King potkává s Escherovými obrazy, je áčková duchařina maskovaná jako béčkový horor. Osoby a obsazení: Nathan Bishop – Matěj Převrátil Gordon Edmonds – Jan Holík Sally Timmsová – Marie Černochová Freya Timmsová – Zuzana Ščerbová Iris Marinus-Fenbyová – Klára Suchá „V zahrádce své imaginace nechal Mitchell vyklíčit původně twitterový žert (…) a je dobře, že mu rozkvetl až na dvě stě stran. Metafory jako z hororového automatu, věrohodné ztrápené postavy, fraška podlitá existenciálnem a metafikčními fórky – šup s tím do kotle! V zázračné kuchyni je tvůrce jako doma a ví, že špikovat husí kůži humorem je vítězná strategie. Jeho úděsně nasvícená halloweenská dýně se tlemí jako smyslů zbavená a mráz nám po zádech tančí pogo.“ – The Guardian „Autor grandiózních postmoderních eposů přichází s útlým hororovým románem, v jehož centru stojí tajuplný dům. I v Domu za zdí však čtenář nalezne typické mitchellovské ingredience: propletenou mozaiku příběhů, několik časových rovin a exotická dějiště. (…) Tak jako v Hodinách z kostí si i tady klademe otázku, co bychom dělali, kdyby cenou za nesmrtelnost byla duše druhé osoby.“ – iliteratura.cz „Mitchell píše stále tutéž Velkou knihu o fatálních dopadech naší hamižnosti a opět se zaštiťuje převtělováním postav z předešlých románů. Předchozí neznalost autora Atlasu mraků nevadí. Kdo se tu jeho trikům oddá poprvé, užije si tohle paranormálno víc.“ – Hospodářské noviny „Příběh se odvíjel jako tajemné klubíčko a Mitchell dokázal situaci zvrátit vždy tam, kde už nečekáme žádnou změnu.

The rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” told in the style—and substance—of the great English poets from Edmund Spenser to Stevie Smith.  In The Lamb Cycle, David R. Ewbank achieves the unthinkable—he writes so convincingly in the style of the great English poets that one could be lulled into thinking that Shakespeare himself was inspired to muse upon the subject of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Ewbank captures not only the style of each of the poets he chooses, but also their preoccupations and subject matter. So D.H. Lawrence’s Mary longs for her lamb as any woman longing for her lover, whilst T.S. Eliot’s Mary is recollected by an old man looking back on his life. Alexander Pope writes an “An Essay on Lambs,” and Tennyson’s lotus eaters become “The Clover Eater.” Brilliantly written, sophisticated, and laugh-out-loud funny, these poems, enhanced by Kate Feiffer’s charming illustrations, will enchant anyone who has ever read an English poem.

Nejnovější román Davida Mitchella přichází jako samostatný, osobitý příběh, zároveň ale i jako další díl "nadrománu" jejž autor píše po celý dosavadní život. Tématem a stylem se od závratného mnohovýznamového Atlasu mraků nebo od Tisíce podzimů Jacoba de Zoeta liší, je pevně a s příjemnou konkrétností zasazen do šedesátých let - jde o román o dospívání. UTOPIA AVENUE není ani zdaleka jen mistrně odpozorovaným portrétem hudební scény v Soho na přelomu 60. a 70. let. Zajímá ho, odkud se berou autorské nápady a jak potom putují světem - popová hudba mu k tomu nabízí ideální příležitost. "Myslím, že většina spisovatelů závidí hudebníkům přímý kontakt s publikem a okamžité ocenění," říká v jednom rozhovoru, "musí to být nádherný pocit! Ať vymyslím jakkoli skvělý výjev, ať napíšu jakkoli dokonalý odstavec, nikdy, nikdy, nikdy tuhle drogu neokusím. Když před publikem přečtete něco nového , co se vám opravdu povedlo, je to jen dost slabá náhražka". Kdo v románu UTOPIA AVENUE dospívá, je hudební skupina stejného jména, "nejpodivnější britská kapela, o které jste v životě neslyšeli", a román líčí nejen její vzestup, ale i pád. V první části kapela získává úspěch, nadšené fanoušky a pořádný kus proslulosti… jenže nikoli spravedlivý díl štěstí. Mitchell s dokonalým vcítěním odkrývá pod tlustou vrstvou slávy i její skrytou tvář: z cesty svedené ambice, poraněné duše, lidské ztráty i působení náhod. Muzikanti cítí čím dál větší napětí mezi požadavky publika, odměnami z provozování umění a na druhé straně změtí protichůdných sil závazků, obav ze selhání, kruté nostalgie a na dřeň jdoucího smutku. Láska přichází a promarněna mizí, smrt přichází znenadání. Puzení k hudbě, k jejímu tvoření, je ale nevysvětlitelně stálé, nedá se mu odolat.

A playful examination of the way we think (and overthink) by cartoonist Grant Snider, creator of Incidental Comics, which appear regularly in the New York Times Book ReviewThinking About Thinking—the latest sly and charming collection of one- and two-page haiku-like comics from cartoonist Grant Snider—explores our inner life, using colorful illustrations and clever visual metaphors to depict the spectrum of our emotions. Facing self-doubt? Overcoming fears? Grappling with indecision? Snider doesn’t present solutions to these challenges, but he does inspire and encourage, offering thoughtful reassurance and a unique, humorous perspective that’s characteristic of his work—an approach that resonates with millions of readers all over the world. Emotions can be tricky to navigate. We overthink. We second-guess. And we can’t get out of our own way. The reality is, it’s impossible for any of us to understand our complicated feelings fully. But fear not, because you’ve come to the right place.

This is a lovely book' Philippa PerryNo longer in denial about who he is, Fluffy sets out on the difficult task of finding his place in the world. His attempts at writing a self-help book lead him to reflect on a life plagued by failure - and by having to dodge people who just want to pick him up and stroke his ears. Fluffy’s coming of age is drawn with a heartbreaking veracity that hits its mark when the overtly sweet and fantastical meets with an unswerving ability to voice our darker, more painful truths.How to Make Life Better When It Feels Like it's Getting Worse is an utterly disarming graphic novel, and a buoyant return to a beloved character. Through the unlikely avatar of a small, fluffy bunny and gloriously irreverent storytelling, Simone Lia shows what it means to grow into adulthood, find purpose and live in this world.

Sculptures-as-meditations: Brush rearticulates Monet’s magnificent lightwork in palm-sized objectsEarly in life, American painter, sculptor and jeweler Daniel Brush (born 1947) discounted Monet’s work wholesale—that is, until the pivotal day he saw an 8-by-10 transparency that a collector and friend was considering acquiring. This encounter sparked an obsession with the light Monet so masterfully captured through oil paint. Thinking about Monet contains 60 of the more than 100 steel sculptures Brush created—all of which are meditations on light. The artist hand-carved the same steel for all of his palm-sized pieces, but each one articulates distinct properties of color and light. Mesmerizing in the intricacy and daring of their fabrication, Brush''s objects bear comparison with the work of historical masters.This small, jewel-like book is covered in printed silk cloth, and all the sculptures are reproduced at their original size. Nicolas Bos, president of Van Cleef & Arpels, contributes a short foreword to the book.

I carry my landscapes around with me focuses on American abstract artist Joan Mitchell’s large-scale multipanel works from the 1960s through the 1990s. Mitchell’s exploration of the possibilities afforded by combining two to five large canvases allowed her to simultaneously create continuity and rupture, while opening up a panoramic expanse referencing landscapes or the memory of landscapes. Mitchell established a singular approach to abstraction over the course of her career. Her inventive reinterpretation of the traditional figure-ground relationship and synesthetic use of color set her apart from her peers, resulting in intuitively constructed and emotionally charged compositions that alternately evoke individuals, observations, places, and points in time. Art critic John Yau lauded her paintings as “one of the towering achievements of the postwar period.” Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner New York in 2019, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the range of scale and formal experimentation of this innovative area of Mitchell’s extensive body of work. It not only features reproductions of each painting in this selection as a whole, but also numerous details that allow an intimate understanding of the surface texture and brushwork. In the complementing essays, Suzanne Hudson examines boundaries, borders, and edges in Mitchell’s multipanel paintings, beginning with her first work of this kind, The Bridge (1956), considering them as both physical and conceptual objects; Robert Slifkin discusses the dynamics of repetition and energy in the artist’s paintings, in relation to works by Monet and Willem de Kooning, among others.

Every philosophy is a celebration of the fact that being can be thought, that the world around us yields to concepts that join together into arguments which can lead us to new thoughts and new ways of thinking. Heidegger's great talent was to never lose his philosophical wonder at philosophy, to never stop thinking about thinking.

An Esquire Essential Book on Climate ChangeFrom the founder of the Climate Outreach and Information Network, a groundbreaking take on the most urgent question of our time: Why, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, do we still ignore climate change? “Please read this book, and think about it.” --Bill NyeMost of us recognize that climate change is real yet we do nothing to stop it. What is the psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall’s search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and Texas Tea Party activists; the world’s leading climate scientists and those who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values, assumptions, and prejudices can take on lives of their own, gaining authority as they are shared, dividing people in their wake.With engaging stories and drawing on years of his own research, Marshall argues that the answers do not lie in the things that make us different, but rather in what we share: how our human brains are wired--our evolutionary origins, our perceptions of threats, our cognitive blind spots, our love of storytelling, our fear of death, and our deepest instincts to defend our family and tribe. Once we understand what excites, threatens, and motivates us, we can rethink climate change, for it is not an impossible problem. Rather, we can halt it if we make it our common purpose and common ground. In the end, Don’t Even Think About It is both about climate change and about the qualities that make us human and how we can deal with the greatest challenge we have ever faced.

Utopia Avenue might be the most curious British band you've never heard of. Emerging from London's psychedelic scene in 1967, folksinger Elf Holloway, blues bassist Dean Moss, guitar virtuoso Jasper de Zoet and jazz drummer Griff Griffin together created a unique sound, with lyrics that captured their turbulent times. The band produced only two albums in two years, yet their musical legacy lives on. This is the story of Utopia Avenue's brief, blazing journey from Soho clubs and draughty ballrooms to the promised land of America, just when the Summer of Love was receding into something much darker - a multi-faceted tale of dreams, drugs, love, sexuality, madness and grief; of stardom's wobbly ladder and fame's Faustian pact; and of the collision between youthful idealism and jaded reality as the Sixties drew to a close. Above all, this bewitching novel celebrates the power of music to connect across divides, define an era and thrill the soul. 'The great rock and roll novel - an epic love letter to the greatest music ever made and the book the music has always deserved' Tony Parsons

Some children just haven''t read the parenting books. The harder you try, the worse it gets.There''s a hidden contract at the heart of parenting. It''s the idea that if parents just get it right, their children can be made to do what they want. Manuals explain how to make it very clear to your children what you want them to do − and how to respond when they don''t cooperate. With the right rewards and consequences in place, parents are meant to ensure that their children stay under control. That''s Time Out and the Naughty Step (for the little ones) or grounding and withdrawing screen privileges (for the older ones). If that doesn''t work, parents are told to be more consistent. But what happens if your child is even more consistent than you? For every so often, along comes a child who hasn''t signed the contract. They don''t buy in. When they are put on the Naughty Step, they refuse point blank to stay there. Promises of stickers and rewards get you nowhere at all. Take their iPad away and they say, ''Fine, but I''m still not doing that''. These are the children who rip up the rule book. Their parents are left floundering. The more they try to bring their children under control, the clearer it is that they aren''t haven''t any of it. The firmer the boundaries, the worse their behaviour becomes. Things can go downhill fast. This down-to-earth, illustrated guide is for parents who need something different. It''s for those who are fighting battles where they didn''t know battles could be fought. It''s for those who suspect that what they are doing isn''t helping - but they don''t know what else to do. It''s for families who need a better way to live and who want their children (and themselves) to thrive.

On that remarkable Friday, the Beatles hit the world with their first single, ‘Love Me Do’, and the first James Bond film, Dr No, had its world premiere in London: two icons of the future heralding a social and cultural revolution.On the Cusp, continuing David Kynaston’s groundbreaking history of post-war Britain, takes place during the summer and early autumn of 1962, in the charged months leading up to the moment that a country changed. The Rolling Stones’ debut at the Marquee Club, the last Gentlemen versus Players match at Lord’s, the issue of Britain’s relationship with Europe starting to divide the country, Telstar the satellite beaming live TV pictures across the world, ‘Telstar’ the record a siren call to a techno future – these were months thick with incident, all woven together here with an array of fresh contemporary sources, including diarists both famous and obscure.Britain would never be the same again after these months.

As we grapple with how to respond to emerging threats against democracy, Library of America brings together for the first time two seminal essays about the duties of citizenship and the imperatives of conscience. In ''Resistance to Civil Government'' (1849), Henry David Thoreau recounts the story of a night he spent in jail for refusing to pay poll taxes, which he believed supported the Mexican American War and the expansion of slavery. His larger aim was to articulate a view of individual conscience as a force in American politics. No writer has made a more persuasive case for obedience to a ''higher law.'' In ''Civil Disobedience'' (1970), Hannah Arendt offers a stern rebuttal to Thoreau. For Arendt, Thoreau stands in willful opposition to the public and collective spirit that defines civil disobedience. Only through positive collective action and the promises we make to each other in a civil society can meaningful change occur. This deluxe paperback features an introduction by Roger Berkowitz, Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities and Professor of Politics, Philosophy, and Human Rights at Bard College, who reflects on the tradition of civil disobedience and the future of American politics.

But his life story was every bit as extraordinary and dramatic as the musicians he looked after.

A world-class thinker counts the 100 ways in which humans behave irrationally, showing us what we can do to recognize and minimize these “thinking errors” to make better decisions and have a better life Despite the best of intentions, humans are notoriously bad—that is, irrational—when it comes to making decisions and assessing risks and tradeoffs. Psychologists and neuroscientists refer to these distinctly human foibles, biases, and thinking traps as “cognitive errors.” Cognitive errors are systematic deviances from rationality, from optimized, logical, rational thinking and behavior. We make these errors all the time, in all sorts of situations, for problems big and small: whether to choose the apple or the cupcake; whether to keep retirement funds in the stock market when the Dow tanks, or whether to take the advice of a friend over a stranger. The “behavioral turn” in neuroscience and economics in the past twenty years has increased our understanding of how we think and how we make decisions. It shows how systematic errors mar our thinking and under which conditions our thought processes work best and worst. Evolutionary psychology delivers convincing theories about why our thinking is, in fact, marred. The neurosciences can pinpoint with increasing precision what exactly happens when we think clearly and when we don’t.Drawing on this wide body of research, The Art of Thinking Clearly is an entertaining presentation of these known systematic thinking errors--offering guidance and insight into everything why you shouldn’t accept a free drink to why you SHOULD walk out of a movie you don’t like it to why it’s so hard to predict the future to why shouldn’t watch the news. The book is organized into 100 short chapters, each covering a single cognitive error, bias, or heuristic. Examples of these concepts include: Reciprocity, Confirmation Bias, The It-Gets-Better-Before-It-Gets-Worse Trap, and the Man-With-A-Hammer Tendency. In engaging prose and with real-world examples and anecdotes, The Art of Thinking Clearly helps solve the puzzle of human reasoning.
