How to Be a Citizen: Learning to Be Civil Without the State

By C L Skach

An expert on the writing of constitutions argues that the path to a thriving society begins with forgetting about them: "Not James Madison but Bob Dylan or Annie Lennox should be our guide" (Mark Tushnet). In 2009, constitutional scholar C. L. Skach went to Iraq to help revise the constitution. She survived a missile barrage in the Green Zone--an event that proved a breaking point in her thinking about constitutions.

True to You: A Therapist's Guide to Stop Pleasing Others and Start Being Yourself

By Kathleen Smith

A Guide to The Theory and Practice of Creating Authentic Relationships When's the last time you felt as composed as you portray to your boss, family and friends. If there's a discord between the two, you're not alone. Humans are master pretenders--we often seem stronger, calmer and more mature than we really are, while the truth is we're full of doubts and self-criticism that pushes us to borrow reassurance from friends, beliefs from strangers on the internet, or attention that, in the moment, makes us feel successful, but leaves us totally hollow and burnt out.

The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism

By Joe Conason

Explores "the partisan con artists who have corrupted conservative politics in our time, creating a toxic phenomenon that culminated in the election of Donald Trump, a bumptious fraud whose checkered career and tawdry retinue, including his presidential cabinet, have featured almost every variety of scam. But long before he appeared, Trump's path to power was blazed by the motley horde of swindlers and quacks who preceded him. From the 'professional anti-communists' (whose tactics even J. Edgar Hoover despised) to the 'populist" grifters of the Tea Party movement and the religious charlatans of the 'prosperity gospel' (who provided a pious front for Trump), the right-wing ripoff has remained remarkably consistent, even as personalities change and new technologies emerge: stir up anger and resentment, demonize political opponents, promise vengeance, and collect donations from the gullible"--

Math-Ish: Finding Creativity, Diversity, and Meaning in Mathematics

By Jo Boaler

"Mathematics is a fundamental part of life, yet every one of us has a unique relationship with learning and understanding the subject. Working with numbers may inspire confidence in our abilities or provoke anxiety and trepidation. Stanford researcher, mathematics education professor, and the leading expert on math learning Dr. Jo Boaler argues that our differences are the key to unlocking our greatest mathematics potential. In Math-ish, Boaler shares new neuroscientific research on how embracing the concept of "math-ish"--a theory of mathematics as it exists in the real world--changes the way we think about mathematics, data, and ourselves. When we can see the value of diversity among people and multi-faceted approaches to learning math, we are free to truly flourish. Utilizing the latest research on math education, Jo guides us through seven principles that can radically reframe our relationship with the subject."--
