'Presidential Reading/Viewing List' Door dcornwall

Bekijk meer lijsten op dcornwall
Beschrijving: No matter who assumes office on January 20, 2009, the President will have a very heavy plate. In my opinion, the books and videos on this list will help the next President cope with any number of crisises. Do you have ideas for what should be on a Presidential Reading List?

The post-American world
door Fareed Zakaria
 Boek
Taal: Engels
Uitgever: New York : W.W. Norton, ©2008.

Opmerkingen:
This should be the number one item on the reading list. The author is quite pro-American, but believes that the "rise of the rest" will preclude America from having the only say in the world. This will bring problems and opportunities alike, but America w

The FBI & American democracy : a brief critical history
door Athan G Theoharis
 Boek
Taal: Engels
Uitgever: Lawrence : University Press of Kansas, ©2004.

Opmerkingen:
Secrecy promotes abuse. It's been going on for a long time. Broad investigations in the name of National Security always wind up targeting peaceful dissenters. Always. Learn this history and make it stop through transparency. Makes good pairing with "Edge

Prisoners of hate : the cognitive basis of anger, hostility, and violence
door Aaron T Beck
 Boek
Taal: Engels
Uitgever: New York : HarperCollins, ©1999.

Opmerkingen:
Why won't your opponent just understand that he is wrong and repent? Why does punishment seem to fail time and time again when dealing with people or countries? Why do Islamists keep coming up with fresh grievances? This book explains why. A book with gre

door Marshall B Rosenberg; Center for Nonviolent Communication.;
 VHS-video
Taal: Engels
Uitgever: Sherman, TX : Center for Nonviolent Communication, 2001.

Opmerkingen:
Once the President has picked his cabinet, he should make them all watch this video. Then he should bring in Marshall Rosenberg or someone else trained in Nonviolent Communication (see http://www.cnvc.org/) and hold a weekend retreat for his cabinet. Then

This DVD documents how genocidal dictator Slobodan Milosovic was driven from office through nonviolent means. The right way to change regimes. Empower the people in nonviolent resistance and the rest will follow if the regime is illegitimate. If nonviolen

door Stephen R Prothero
 Boek
Taal: Engels

Opmerkingen:
This book serves several purposes. It will help you tell Sunni from Shia. It documents how the lack of Bible education in schools is NOT a secular plot and provides tools for better understanding the early history of our country and the modern world. Last

door R Muller
 Boek
Taal: Engels
Uitgever: Southbank, Victoria ; Mason, OH : Thomson, 2007.

Opmerkingen:
The next President will need to make many science decisions. He can make informed choices by reading this very accessible book. Learn why solar cars are impractical BUT solar powered homes and businesses make sense. See why a dirty-bomb doesn't have to ru
