We can identify missed opportunities, gaps of knowledge and common sense that, if we had it, would have saved us tons of grief and time. Clark had the same experience. He learned the hard way. We all know that while “the hard way” is not a bad way to learn life’s lessons it can be extremely frustrating. Since he was 10 years old, Clark learned a lot of answers that we all seek (certainly not all) – and after many hours talking with his niece Katelyn answering her questions and helping her avoid many of life’s pitfalls, Clark realized that it was time to “pay it forward” and maybe keep others from having to learn everything the hard way, like most of us do. Clark wrote this book for his niece, Katelyn, her friends, and anyone else looking for some of those answers.

Download or read book Economic Stories For Undergrads written by Annavajhula J. C. Bose and published by OrangeBooks Publication. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics is the strangest and most dubious as also frustrating animal of social sciences and humanities. The debate on what it is and what its strengths and weaknesses are in understanding and changing the economy and society for the better, is never ending. This book cuts through this noise for econ-undergrads with social concerns. It is crafted to be stuffed with peripatetic hops, skips and intellectual and emotional jumps about the nature and character of the brain circuits of economics in terms of its methodological, political, sociological, anthropological, historical, feminist, ethical, ecological, spiritual, literary, technical, corporate and other underpinnings. Diverse stories are told as alerts or nudges for the undergrads, who as aspirant youth have, in general, hyperbolic discounting attitude towards social change. The mind and heart of the undergrad reading this book will hopefully be ignited so as to endeavour to find out the purpose of economic education and how economics should be learnt in order to rectify the failures of our current socio-economic system. The seriously academic undergrad may also be inspired to pursue the long-range objective of doing integrated studies and research for maximised understanding and holistic policy making, which is, of course, easier to say than do.
Download or read book American Diplomacy s Public Dimension written by Bruce Gregory and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-27 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to frame U.S. public diplomacy in the broad sweep of American diplomatic practice from the early colonial period to the present. It tells the story of how change agents in practitioner communities – foreign service officers, cultural diplomats, broadcasters, citizens, soldiers, covert operatives, democratizers, and presidential aides – revolutionized traditional government-to-government diplomacy and moved diplomacy with the public into the mainstream. This deeply researched study bridges practice and multi-disciplinary scholarship. It challenges the common narrative that U.S. public diplomacy is a Cold War creation that was folded into the State Department in 1999 and briefly found new life after 9/11. It documents historical turning points, analyzes evolving patterns of practice, and examines societal drivers of an American way of diplomacy: a preference for hard power over soft power, episodic commitment to public diplomacy correlated with war and ambition, an information-dominant communication style, and American exceptionalism. It is an account of American diplomacy’s public dimension, the people who shaped it, and the socialization and digitalization that today extends diplomacy well beyond the confines of embassies and foreign ministries.
