    Content: "Imagine you have just been elected president. You are now commander-in-chief, chief executive, chief diplomat, chief legislator, chief of party, chief voice of the people, first responder, chief priest, and world leader. You're expected to fulfill your campaign promises, but you're also expected to solve the urgent crises of the day. What's on your to-do list? Where would you even start? The American presidency is in trouble. It has become overburdened, misunderstood, almost impossible to do. "The problems in the job unfolded before Donald Trump was elected, and the challenges of governing today will confront his successors," writes John Dickerson. After all, the founders never intended for our system of checks and balances to have one superior Chief Magistrate, with Congress demoted to "the little brother who can't keep up." In this eye-opening book, John Dickerson draws on history and contemporary times to show why we need to reevaluate how we view the presidency, how we choose our presidents, and what we expect from them once they are in office. Think of the presidential campaign as a job interview. Are we asking the right questions? Are we looking for good campaigners, or good presidents? Once a candidate gets the job, what can they do to thrive? Drawing on research and interviews with current and former White House staffers, Dickerson defines what the job of president actually entails, identifies the things that only the President can do, and analyzes how presidents in history have managed the burden. What qualities make for a good president? Who did it well? Why did Bill Clinton call the White House "the crown jewel in the American penal system"? And what lessons can we draw from past successes and failures? Ultimately, in order to evaluate candidates properly for the job, we need to adjust our expectations, and be more realistic about the goals, the requirements, and the limitations of the office."--

    Content: "In October 2019, hundreds of thousands of Lebanese took to the streets to protest government corruption and austerity measures. These were the largest mass protests seen in the country since 2005. The Lebanon Uprising of 2019 is the first book to analyse the revolution and tackle the huge transformations that have been unravelling in Lebanon ever since. The book brings to the fore the voices of scholars, activists, researchers, and journalists who took part in the protests or were active in the demonstrations that unfolded before them. This is a unique source of testimonies and analysis from the field, with stories about specific events and struggles, views of the uprising from various regions of the country, and reflections on topics such as disability, the student movement, and the struggle for preserving environmental spaces. The book is the foundational text on the Lebanon Uprising and includes primary documents not found elsewhere, such as photos, memoranda of conversations, different pamphlets, posters, and other materials that were designed and disseminated in the streets and over social media platforms. The protests are situated within the political, economic, social, environmental, and psychoanalytical foundations of the Lebanese polity, as well as in the broader context of a "second wave" of Arab uprisings, making this a testament to the rich history of protests and activism in the country"--

    Content: Bella Ciao is the album that kick-started the Italian folk revival in the mid-1960s, made by Il Nuovo Canzoniere Italiano, a group of researchers, musicians, and radical intellectuals. Based on a contested music show that debuted in 1964, Bella Ciao also featured a double version of the popular song of the same title, an anti-Fascist anthem from World War II, which was destined to become one of the most sung political songs in the world and translated into more than 40 languages. The book reconstructs the history and the reception of the Bella Ciao project in 1960s' Italy and, more broadly, explores the origins and the distinctive development of the Italian folk revival movement through the lens of this pivotal album

    Nichols, Joshua Ben David [Verfasser] 1978- ; "The current framework for reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian state is based on the Supreme Court of Canada's acceptance of the Crown's assertion of sovereignty, legislative power, and underlying title. The basis of this assertion is a long-standing interpretation of Section 91(24) of Canada's Constitution, which reads it as a plenary grant of power over Indigenous communities and their lands, leading the courts to simply bypass the question of the inherent right of self-government. In A Reconciliation without Recollection, Joshua Ben David Nichols argues that if we are to find a meaningful path toward reconciliation, we will need to address the history of sovereignty without assuming its foundations. Exposing the limitations of the current model, Nichols carefully examines the lines of descent and association that underlie the legal conceptualization of the Aboriginal right to govern. Blending legal analysis with insights drawn from political theory and philosophy, A Reconciliation without Recollection is an ambitious and timely intervention into one of the most pressing concerns in Canada. (The Centre for International Governance Innovation is an independent, non-partisan think tank with an objective and uniquely global perspective. Our research, opinions, and public voice make a difference in today's world by bringing clarity and innovative thinking to global policy making. By working across disciplines and in partnership with the best peers and experts, we are the benchmark for influential research and trusted analysis.)"-- Provided by publisher ; Borrows, John 1963- ; [et al.]

    Content: "This volume focuses on acts of courage, defiance, and sacrifice undertaken during World War I and II by individuals that mainstream history has relegated to the sidelines. Drawn from different genres - literary, cinematic, diaristic and historical - the experiences that these 'outsiders' confronted lay bare the intimate, if lacerating, choices that they faced in their struggle for freedom. Ignored by official history, the testimonials that war prisoners, female partisan leaders, spies, deserters, and disillusioned soldiers offer, provide a fresh insight into the social, political, historical, and ethical contradictions that define warfare rhetoric in the twentieth century. The book's ten contributors delve into the conflicts between oppressive authorities and the desire for freedom. With verve and energy, they revive these largely neglected voices and turn them into a provocative medium to discuss, and redefine, issues still relevant today: heroism, pacifism, national pride, gender issues, faith, personal and collective history"--

    Series Statement: Issues in Business Ethics; Eminent Voices in Business Ethics
    Content: This open access book traces the research and teaching contributions of Kenneth Goodpaster over more than 45 years of his career. The book shows the content and the progression of these themes over the years identifying four insights in applied ethics: the moral insight, the institutional insight, the anthropological insight, and the Socratic insight. It highlights such concepts as conscience, corporate responsibility, corporations as agents and as recipients, stockholders, stakeholders, comprehensive moral thinking, and ethics education. In addition, Goodpaster explains phrases such as teleopathy, moral projection, human dignity, and the common good. Finally, the book examines with concern the implications of the foregoing for the polarizing and partisan trends in contemporary business behavior. Kenneth Goodpaster's new book, Times of Insight: Conscience, Corporations, and the Common Good reflects the culmination of 50 years of incredible philosophical insights forming the basis of business ethics. His concept of 'corporate conscience' as a moral projection from individual conscience to organizational behavior is both an original as well as a most worthwhile approach to organizational responsibility. Coupling that with a clear notion of the common good, Goodpaster provides substantive grounds for a creative analysis of ethical issues in business. This is one of the most exciting new books in the field. - Patricia H. Werhane, Professor Emerita, University of Virginia and Professor Emerita, DePaul University. "Beginners beware. "Wickedly interdisciplinary" describes corporate ethics. More than "interdisciplinary," the field asks questions that range across disciplines, nations and centuries. Who better to cut this Gordian Knot than Ken Goodpaster, a true giant in the field, who mixes a prodigious knowledge of contemporary corporations with a deep understanding of intellectual history to produce a new and stunning amalgam. A must-read." - Thomas Donaldson, The Mark O. Winkelman Professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania As one of the pioneers in business ethics, Kenneth Goodpaster has given us a great gift of synthesizing 50 years of philosophical reflection and corporate practice on some of the most important questions and issues for business today. This work is not nostalgia, but an important source of wisdom for leaders today and into the future. - Dr. Michael Naughton, Director, Center for Catholic Studies, Koch Chair in Catholic Studies, University of St. Thomas

    Series Statement: American presidential elections
    Content: "Bill Clinton's elections in 1992 and 1996 were a watershed moment in Democratic history. Not only was he the first Democrat to win two terms since Franklin D. Roosevelt, and one of only four Democrats in history to do so, but he also broke a Republican winning streak that involved five of the six previous elections. Prior to Clinton's win, the Republicans held the White House while Democrats held the House of Representatives. Subsequently, however, Democrats won the popular presidential vote in all but one election (2004), while Republicans largely held the House. In 1994 the Republicans took control of Congress for the first time since 1952. Clinton's nomination and presidency helped to revive the Democratic Party and reshaped the political landscape, but as Michael Nelson argues, it also ushered in a new era of partisan antagonism and divided, dysfunctional government. The center increasingly vanished, replaced by stalemate and polarization. In the midst of these partisan tensions, Nelson's study explores the rise of a new independent voice in the form of Ross Perot. Clinton's Elections traces the story of Bill Clinton's dominant role in the American political landscape from his emergence as a potential nominee in 1988 to his reelection in 1996 and his role in the election campaigns of 2000, 2008, and 2016. What emerges is a picture of a savvy politician who was able to operate effectively in the midst of divided government and made strategic moves to consolidate power and secure future victories. But his successful efforts did not last. His presidency became embroiled in scandal and impeachment, and partisan hostilities only grew more strident, resulting in our current era of de facto divided government"--
