Showing results for "Intervention" in Politics & Social Sciences

Interventions, by Noam Chomsky, is getting new press after the Pentagon banned the book from Guantanamo Bay's prison library. Interventions is Noam Chomsky at his best. Not since his all-time best-selling title, 9/11, published in the Open Media series in 2001, have readers and listeners had a timely, short, affordable Chomsky. Unlike 9/11, Interventions is a writerly work - a series of more than 30 tightly argued essays aimed at various aspects of U.S. power and politics in the post-9/11 world. While critical of U.S. military interventions around the globe, each piece in the book is in itself an intellectual intervention.

In the decade before the onset of the Civil War, groups of Americans engaged in a series of longshot - and illegal - forays into Mexico, Cuba, and other Central American countries in hopes of taking them over. These efforts became known as filibustering, and their goal was to seize territory to create new independent fiefdoms, which would ultimately be annexed by the still-growing United States. Most failed miserably. William Walker was the outlier. Soft-spoken with no military background, in 1856 he managed to install himself as president of Nicaragua.

Die AfD ist in Ostdeutschland auf dem Vormarsch. In Umfragen ist sie oftmals die stärkste Partei, und liegt in einigen Bundesländern gar bei 35 Prozent. Doch das heißt: zwei Drittel der Ostdeutschen wählen nicht AfD. Susan Arndt gibt dieser oft übersehenen Mehrheit in ihrem sehr persönlichen Buch eine Stimme und zeigt, dass es auch ein anderes Ostdeutschland gibt und die AfD ein gesamtdeutsches Problem ist.

Therapy is a dialogue. The first two chapters of this small book are an inquiry into the nature of psychotherapy, an asymmetric dialogue, where one person, the therapist, literally attends to another. Weaving together overlapping perspectives from Emmanuel Levinas, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Martin Buber, Amdur asserts that the greatest gifts of therapy arise from a fundamental estrangement from each other. The realization of this unbridgeable distance, however close we may be, is a profound shock that gives birth to a genuine relationship.

In the essays collected here, spanning the Millennial generation's many agonies, Chris Cutrone cuts through the accumulated legacy of failures that the Millennials inherited from the Left of the 20th century and that blocked their view of the socialist politics needed to turn the crisis of neoliberal capitalism into a struggle to overcome capitalism.

Making the Future presents more than 50 concise and persuasively argued commentaries on U.S. politics and policies, written between 2007 and 2011. Taken together, Chomsky's essays present a powerful counter-narrative to official accounts of the major political events of the past four years: the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the U.S. presidential race; the ascendancy of China; Latin America's leftward turn; the threat of nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea; Israel's invasion of Gaza and more.

This book guides PreK-12 educators and school-based clinicians on how to embed socially just practices into their day-to-day roles to achieve more equitable outcomes. Social Justice in Schools uses vivid vignettes and personal reflections to demystify complex concepts. It pinpoints ways educators can better understand their racially and ethnically minoritized students, reflect on and challenge implicit bias in assessment and decision making, and build meaningful home–school relationships.

Aggression touches all of our lives. Whether it is a customer or angry coworker, an upset family member, a fellow student at school or college, or a stranger we bump into on the street, all of us, at times, must deal with aggressive people. Ellis Amdur has become well-known for his series of profession-specific books on dealing with aggressive and emotionally disturbed individuals. Words of Power is different. It is written for ordinary people who may, on occasion, have to deal with an angry, even enraged person.

The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord — and with comparable elegance — it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors).

Fifty years ago, a ragtag band of radical nuns and wild-haired priests swiftly became cat-burglars in a hellbent effort to sabotage a war. They scaled walls, picked locks, and traded blows with J. Edgar Hoover. Many went to jail, some betrayed their friends, others fell in love. The pilot of Divine Intervention premiered on June 9, 2022 as part of Tribeca Film Festival’s 2022Audio Storytelling competition.The rest of the 10-episode series will premiere this fall. It’s got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century and the god-damndest love story you’ve ever heard.

Great powers have attempted for centuries to intervene in elections occurring in other states through various covert and overt methods, with the American intervention in the 2013 Kenyan elections and the Russian intervention in the 2016 US elections being just two recent examples. Indeed, the Americans and the Soviets/Russians intervened in one out of every nine national-level executive elections between 1946 and 2000.

How should a law enforcement officer manage an encounter with someone who might be mentally unstable or in crisis - but does not appear to pose an immediate threat? How might a platoon commander engage with a foreign civilian who has key information for intelligence-gathering, but is wary of sharing - even being seen - with a stranger? In The Coordinator, Ellis Amdur and Robert Hubal share their decades of experience working with law enforcement and military personnel in training and developing social interaction skills, particularly in "high risk, high consequence" situations.

Le Podcast Intervention est une plate-forme où nous avons des discussions avec des intervenants de plusieurs domaines. Par intervenants nous parlons de personnes qui travaillent à aider la population, par exemple des policiers et des éducateurs spécialisés autant que des sexologues ou des intervenants communautaires. Le but est d'en apprendre plus sur leurs métiers mais aussi sur les humains derrière les services. Nous entendront parler de leurs expériences, d'anecdotes, leurs défis et ce qu'ils aiment dans leur travail. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus ...
