"Guardians of Liberty explores the essential and basic American ideal of freedom of the press. Allowing the American press to publish-even if what they're reporting is contentious-without previous censure or interference by the federal government was so important to the Founding Fathers that they placed a guarantee in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Citing numerous examples from America's past, from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement to Obama's and Trump's presidencies, Linda Barrett Osborne shows how freedom of the press has played an essential role in the growth of this nation, allowing democracy to flourish. She further discusses the diversity of American news and explores why freedom of the press is still imperative to uphold today. --

"School Choice at the Crossroads compiles exemplary, policy-relevant research on school choice options--voucher, private, charter, and traditional public schools--as they have been implemented across the nation. Renowned contributors highlight the latest rigorous research findings and implications on school vouchers, tuition tax credits, and charter schools in states and local areas at the forefront of school choice policy. Examining national and state-level perspectives, each chapter discusses the effects of choice and vouchers on student outcomes, the processes of choice, supportive conditions of school choice programs, comparative features of school choice, and future research. This timely volume addresses whether school choice works, under what conditions, and for whom--further informing educational research, policy, and practice"--

"This book examines the intersection of race, political sermons, and social justice. Religious leaders and congregants who discuss and encourage others to do social justice embrace a form of civil religion that falls close to the covenantal wing of American civil religious thought. Clergy and members who share this theological outlook frame the nation as being exceptional in God's sight. They also emphasize that the nation's special relationship with the Creator is contingent on the nation working toward providing opportunities for socioeconomic well-being, freedom, and creative pursuits. God's covenant, thus, requires inclusion of people who may have different life experiences but who, nonetheless, are equally valued by God and worthy of dignity. Adherents to such a civil religious worldview would believe it right to care for and be in solidarity with the poor and powerless, even if they are undocumented immigrants, people living in non-democratic and non-capitalist nations, or members of racial or cultural out-groups. Relying on 44 national and regional surveys conducted between 1941 and 2019, Faith without Works Is Dead explores how racial experiences impact the degree to which religion informs social justice attitudes and political behavior. This is the most comprehensive set of analyses of publicly available survey data on this topic"--

The principal objective of the US foreign-aid program is to help the developing countries to modernize their economies, to achieve soc reforms, & to build viable soc & pol'al instit's. The most urgent immediate task, however, is to help them to increase their food-production & to reduce their rates of pop growth. As a result of the added emphasis being given to agri, both by the developing countries themselves & by the US & other aid-donors, India, Pakistan, & a number of other Asian nations are now in the midst of an agri'al revolution (the Green Revolution) which-if it continues to spread-will enable the developing world to feed itself for the next 15 to 20 yrs. Our development-aid program has contributed much to the success of the poorer nations to make substantial development progress. But we are now devoting too small a `70 of our resources to foreign-aid-relatively less than is donated by many other rich nations. The reasons given for our cutting aid to this extent do not stand up. Development aid works, & it is in our interest to help countries who are willing to help themselves. The US should take the lead in a sustained development effort which will remove the danger to peace-& the affront to decency-represented by the poverty of the Third World. HA.

The object of this thesis is the spatial dimension of social relationships which obtain in border areas. At the turn of 1990s, new international relations emerged from the collapsed stage of the Eastern bloc and the unsurpassed acceleration of the process of globalization. It was the development of capital without nationality in a world where borders would no longer signify anything. The world of a multitude of nations was coupled with a world in the grip of markets. This new context orientates and influences international politics, the nature and shape of relations between countries and populations, but also, national policies in security, in "management" of immigration and relations to foreigners. In a multiscalar approach and by recourse to various empirical methods (observations, discussions), the practices of the key economic players are studied in several field laboratories: The United States / Mexico, Spain / Morocco, Israel / Lebanon / Palestine. What is the role of borders in production and reproduction of socials relations? What do border relations and social practices of the border space reveal of social relations? What can we understand of balance of power and antipathetic polarity or not between players in asymmetrical situations as part of the social relationship? By a social geography and geopolitical approach, from the spatial dimension (border space) of sociopolitics and economics facts, this thesis proposes an analysis of social relations as a contribution to explaining international relations, conflicts, relationships of dominations and the role of borders asymmetries. ; L'objet de la thèse est la dimension spatiale des rapports sociaux qui se manifestent dans les espaces frontaliers. Au tournant des années 1990, de nouvelles relations internationales émergent de la scène écroulée du bloc de l'Est et de l'accélération sans précédent du processus de mondialisation. C'est l'essor du capital sans nationalité dans un monde où les frontières n'auraient plus de sens. Le monde débordant de nations se double d'un monde sous emprise des marchés. Ce contexte oriente, influence les politiques internationales, la nature et la forme des relations entre pays et populations, mais aussi, les politiques nationales en matière de sécurité, de " gestion " de l'immigration et du rapport aux étrangers. De manière multiscalaire et par le recours à diverses méthodes empiriques (observations, entretiens.), les pratiques des acteurs sont étudiées sur plusieurs terrains-laboratoires : États-Unis / Mexique, Espagne / Maroc, Israël / Liban / Palestine. Quel est le rôle des frontières dans la production et la reproduction des rapports sociaux ? Qu'est-ce que les relations frontalières, les pratiques sociales de l'espace frontalier, révèlent des rapports sociaux ? Que peut-on comprendre des rapports de forces et des contradictions antagoniques ou non entre acteurs aux situations asymétriques dans le cadre des rapports sociaux ? Par une approche de géographie sociale et de géopolitique, à partir de la dimension spatiale (espace frontalier) des faits sociopolitiques et économiques la thèse propose une analyse des rapports sociaux pour contribuer à expliquer les relations internationales, les conflits, rapports de dominations et le rôle des asymétries frontalières.

While Abner Doubleday is remembered primarily, and mistakenly, for having "invented" baseball (he did not), it was his selfless exercise of duty to his nation that should be honored. Following his youth in Auburn, New York, and his days as a cadet at West Point to the Union general's involvement in the American Civil War and his public service afterwards, he is revealed in this biography as a man who took unpopular stands but was guided by a firm vision of justice. One chapter fully explores the baseball myth

In a study reporting on regional differences in public opinion among Arkansans in 1982, Savage and Blair (1984: 65) assert "that more altruistic, less remote, and more decentralized institutions receive stronger votes of confidence." Data from a 1984 survey of Arkansans do not contradict that assertion but do allow an assessment of trends in public confidence among citizens of the state during the early 1980's as well as affording comparisons with confidence trends in the nation as a whole and in a sister state located in the industrial northeast.
