  • Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things

    BasicBinding: Hardcover

    Author: Ariely, Dan

    Publisher: Harper

    Date Published: 09-2023

    ISBN: 0063280426 | EAN: 9780063280427

    BasicBinding: Hardcover

    Features: Bibliography, Index, Price on Product | Pages: 320

    Annotation: "Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis, from social media to larger political challenges, from casual conversations in supermarkets to even our closest relationships. While we recognize the dangers that misinformation poses, the problem is complex, far beyond what policing social media alone can achieve, and too often our limited solutions are shaped by partisan politics and individual interpretations of truth. ... Ariely argues that to understand the irrational appeal of misinformation, we must first understand the behavior of 'misbelief,' the psychological and social journey that leads people to mistrust accepted truths, entertain alternative facts, and even embrace full-blown conspiracy theories. Misinformation, it turns out, appeals to something innate in all of us, ... and it is only by understanding this psychology that we can blunt its effects"

  • Social Workers Speak Out on the HIV/AIDS Crisis: Voices from and to African-American Communities

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Author: Stewart, Patricia

    Publisher: Praeger

    Date Published: 10-1998

    ISBN: 0275960943 | EAN: 9780275960940

    BasicBinding: Paperback

    Features: Illustrated, Bibliography, Index | Pages: 176

    Annotation:


    Written by a team of nationally recognized African American social work professionals with extensive and distinguished backgrounds of HIV/AIDS service, the book examines the crisis facing African American communities. The editors strive to convey to academics, researchers, and students the magnitude of the crisis and that individuals and organizations serving African Americans need to be able to respond to the service delivery needs this crisis brings.

    The crisis is evident in the fact that by year 2000 fully 50% of all AIDS cases will be among African Americans--who only constitute 12% of the nation's population. This book serves as a wake-up call and is designed to stimulate discussion and planning for new models of service to all African Americans and HIV prevention, education, and treatment.

    Annotation: Nicholas Eberstadt's landmark 2016 study, Men without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America.

He spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son Jack from the worst of Mia's illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family, and even complete strangers. Inspired by the many demonstrations of "humankindness" that supported their family through Mia's recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures.

    Annotation: Basing their vision on a provocative theory of American history as series of recurring 80- to 100-year cycles, the authors predict that, just after the millennium, America will enter a new era that will culminate with a political and social crisis comparable to the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. "The Fourth Turning" shows how it is not too early--or too late--to prepare for our next rendezvous with destiny.
