Recoding America Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better【電子書籍】[ Jennifer Pahlka ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2023</strong><br /> <strong>Named one of Ezra Klein's "Books That Explain Where We Are in 2023," <em>The New York Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Learn more about</strong> **Jennifer Pahlka's work at recodingamerica.us.</p> <p>“The book I wish every policymaker would read.”**<br /> **ー**<strong>Ezra Klein, <em>The New York Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>A bold call to reexamine how our government operatesーand sometimes fails to</strong>**ー**<strong>from President Obama’s former deputy chief technology officer and the founder of Code for America</strong></p> <p>Just when we most need our government to workーto decarbonize our infrastructure and economy, to help the vulnerable through a pandemic, to defend ourselves against global threatsーit is faltering. Government at all levels has limped into the digital age, offering online services that can feel even more cumbersome than the paperwork that preceded them and widening the gap between the policy outcomes we intend and what we get.</p> <p>But it’s not more money or more tech we need. Government is hamstrung by a rigid, industrial-era culture, in which elites dictate policy from on high, disconnected from and too often disdainful of the details of implementation. Lofty goals morph unrecognizably as they cascade through a complex hierarchy. But there is an approach taking hold that keeps pace with today’s world and reclaims government for the people it is supposed to serve. Jennifer Pahlka shows why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,391円

Combatting Modern Slavery Why Labour Governance is Failing and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Genevieve LeBaron ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Over the last decade, the world’s largest corporations ? from The Coca Cola Company to Amazon, Apple to Unilever ? have taken up the cause of combatting modern slavery. Yet, by most measures, across many sectors and regions, severe labour exploitation continues to soar. Corporate social responsibility is not working. Why?</p> <p>In this landmark book, Genevieve LeBaron lifts the lid on a labour governance regime that is severely flawed and limited. She takes a close-up look at the millions of corporate dollars spent on anti-slavery networks, NGO partnerships, lobbying for new transparency legislation, and investment in social auditing and ethical certification schemes, to show how such efforts serve to bolster corporate growth and legitimacy as well as government reputations, whilst failing to protect the world’s most vulnerable workers.</p> <p>To eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking in global supply chains a new approach is needed; one that confronts corporate power and profits, dismantles exploitative business models, and regulates the booming private industry of accounting firms, social auditors, and consultants that has emerged to ‘monitor’ and ‘enforce’ labour standards. Only worker-driven initiatives that uphold fundamental rights can protect workers in the contemporary global economy and make forced labour a thing of the past.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,550円

Just Giving Why Philanthropy Is Failing Democracy and How It Can Do Better【電子書籍】[ Rob Reich ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The troubling ethics and politics of philanthropy</strong></p> <p>Is philanthropy, by its very nature, a threat to today’s democracy? Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society’s benefit, <em>Just Giving</em> shows how such generosity not only isn’t the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values and set back aspirations of justice. Big philanthropy is often an exercise of power, the conversion of private assets into public influence. And it is a form of power that is largely unaccountable, often perpetual, and lavishly tax-advantaged. The affluentーand their foundationsーreap vast benefits even as they influence policy without accountability. And small philanthropy, or ordinary charitable giving, can be problematic as well. Charity, it turns out, does surprisingly little to provide for those in need and sometimes worsens inequality.</p> <p>These outcomes are shaped by the policies that define and structure philanthropy. When, how much, and to whom people give is influenced by laws governing everything from the creation of foundations and nonprofits to generous tax exemptions for donations of money and property. Rob Reich asks: What attitude and what policies should democracies have concerning individuals who give money away for public purposes? Philanthropy currently fails democracy in many ways, but Reich argues that it can be redeemed. Differentiating between individual philanthropy and private foundations, the aims of mass giving should be the decentralization of power in the production of public goods, such as the arts, education, and science. For foundations, the goal should be what Reich terms “discovery,” or long-time-horizon innovations that enhance democratic experimentalism. Philanthropy, when properly structured, can play a crucial role in supporting a strong liberal democracy.</p> <p><em>Just Giving</em> investigates the ethical and political dimensions of philanthropy and considers how giving might better support democratic values and promote justice.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,917円

Rescue Your Failing Brain Before It's Too Late! Optimize All Hormones. Increase Oxygen and Stimulation. Steady Blood Sugar. Decrease Inflammation. Improve Immunity. Heal Leaky Gut. Detoxifify.【電子書籍】[ J.M. Swartz M.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this book, “RESCUE YOUR FAILING BRAIN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!” you will learn simple action steps to prevent and reverse brain degeneration. It is easy to ignore subtle signs of mental deterioration. But if you don’t take action now, sooner or later you may end up with serious cognitive issues like my mother, who was found by the neighbors wandering around naked in the middle of the night. Act now, before it is too late! We have been taught to believe that nothing can be done once you get Alzheimer’s disease. If told that you have it, you are counseled to get your affairs in order now while you can still make decisions, because you will not be able to make decisions as the disease progresses. Unfortunately, this advice is still being given out. But, it does not have to be true. There is something that we can do. Alzheimer’s disease is not only preventable, but is also reversible, especially in the early stages. Individualized programs can be developed to specifically address each person’s problem areas. We can identify and address the causes. Many of these causes revolve around diet and lifestyle. Common causes include antibiotic use, prediabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. If no action is taken now, your symptoms will probably progress over time. If you notice that you are losing your memory abilities, think about how long you have noticed this and think how much it has progressed over the last year or over the last two years. This is a clue to how fast the brain degeneration is happening. You may notice that the degeneration is speeding up as time goes on. Next year will be even faster. Waiting until your memory declines even further is the worst thing that you can do. This is the mistake made by standard-of-care health care. If you notice symptoms, you must take matters into your own hands and not depend on your primary-care physician to act. If you are determined to get your brain working better, it won’t be hard. With diligent application of the strategies that you will learn in this book, your brain will reverse gears, bursting out of the sickening downhill slide of memory, mood, cognition, energy, and digestion, and into the recovery of lost abilities. Follow the advice given in this book to stop your brain from degenerating further and to begin to rehabilitate your lost brain health. Learn how to prevent and reverse the progression of dementia and other cognitive problems in yourself and in your loved ones.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,139円

The New Urban Crisis How Our Cities Are Increasing Inequality, Deepening Segregation, and Failing the Middle Class-and What We Can Do About It【電子書籍】[ Richard Florida ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In recent years, the young, educated, and affluent have surged back into cities, reversing decades of suburban flight and urban decline. And yet all is not well, Richard Florida argues in <em>The New Urban Crisis</em>. Florida, one of the first scholars to anticipate this back-to-the-city movement in his groundbreaking <em>The Rise of the Creative Class</em>, demonstrates how the same forces that power the growth of the world's superstar cities also generate their vexing challenges: gentrification, unaffordability, segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, many more cities still stagnate, and middle-class neighborhoods everywhere are disappearing. Our winner-take-all cities are just one manifestation of a profound crisis in today's urbanized knowledge economy.</p> <p>A bracingly original work of research and analysis, <em>The New Urban Crisis</em> offers a compelling diagnosis of our economic ills and a bold prescription for more inclusive cities capable of ensuring growth and prosperity for all.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,388円

Tanked Why the British Economy is Failing and How to Fix It【電子書籍】[ Paul Wallace ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the autumn of 2023, Liz Truss took Britain on a journey into economic la-la land and comprehensively tanked the economy. The result? Higher mortgages and rents, high inflation, debt at an eye-watering 〓2.7 trillion and a sluggish economy rapidly falling behind our (ex-)European partners. As economic journalist Paul Wallace argues in this incisive, expert and accessible book, this was low point of a once supercharged economy that has over the last 15 years not recovered from the financial crash of 2008.</p> <p>Written over ten chapters tackling the most important issues (Brexit, debt, the City, immigration, manufacturing, levelling up, public services) Wallace asks in clear, jargon-free prose what the problems are, and what we can do to solve them. He offers a ten-point plan to get our economy back and track, building on its most resilient aspects.</p> <p>Part-primer, part passionate argument, Tanked is the perfect book for anyone who wants to know their quantitive easing from their bond market, and to understand the how Britain devalued itself.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,417円

Divided Nations: Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it Why global governance is failing, and what we can do about it【電子書籍】[ Ian Goldin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>With rapid globalization, the world is more deeply interconnected than ever before. While this has its advantages, it also brings with it systemic risks that are only just being identified and understood. Rapid urbanization, together with technological leaps, such as the Internet, mean that we are now physically and virtually closer than ever in humanity's history. We face a number of international challenges - climate change, finance, pandemics, cyber security, and migration - which spill over national boundaries. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the UN, the IMF, the World Bank - bodies created in a very different world, more than 60 years ago - are inadequate for the task of managing such risk in the 21st century. Ian Goldin explores whether the answer is to reform the existing structures, or to consider a new and radical approach. By setting out the nature of the problems and the various approaches to global governance, Goldin highlights the challenges that we are to overcome and considers a road map for the future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,247円

Functional Aspects of the Normal, Hypertrophied, and Failing Heart【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>These Proceedings are from the Fifth Annual Meeting of the American Section of the International Society for Heart Research held at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, September 21-24, 1983. The program and abstracts were published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, Vol. 15, Supplement 4, September 1983, Academic Press. This Symposium Proceedings consists of three sections. Section I deals with the mechanical factors and their i'nfluence on coronary blood flow in the normal and failing heart. Section II is developed around the area of vascular smooth muscle and the factors that may control it which ultimately play such an important role in the regulation of coronary blood flow. Section III is primarily devoted to the mechanical aspects of the function of the heart in both hypertrophy and failure including the molecular changes in the myocyte, alterations in neural control, and in inotropic responsiveness of the hypertrophied and failing heart. The editors hope that these three areas encompass a significant body of new and ongoing information that will be helpful to those who work in these areas as well as those who treat patients with varying degrees of myocardial failure or with compromised coronary circulations. The editors express their appreciation to all the contributors and to Ms. Jeri B. McClain for assisting in the organization and compiling of this volume. Francis L. Abel, M. D. , Ph. D. Walter H.

America's Failing Economy and the Rise of Ronald Reagan【電子書籍】[ Eric R. Crouse ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book examines one of the most important economic outcomes in American historyーthe breakdown of the Keynesian Revolution. Drawing on economic literature, the memoirs of economists and politicians, and the popular press, Eric Crouse examines how economic decline in the 1970s precipitated a political revolution. Keynesian thought flourished through the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford, until stagflation devastated American workers and Jimmy Carter’s economic policies faltered, setting the stage for the 1980 presidential campaign. Tracking years of shifting public opinion and colorful debate between free-market and Keynesian economists, this book illuminates a neglected era of American economic history and shows how Ronald Reagan harnessed a vision of small government and personal freedom that transformed the American political landscape.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 14,585円

The Democracy Index Why Our Election System Is Failing and How to Fix It【電子書籍】[ Heather K. Gerken ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Despite howls for reform, the only thing separating us from another election disaster of the kind that hit Florida in 2000, and that almost struck again in Ohio in 2004, may simply be another close vote. In this lucid and lively book, Heather Gerken diagnoses what is wrong with our elections and proposes a radically new and simple solution: a Democracy Index that would rate the performance of state and local election systems. A rough equivalent to the <em>U.S. News and World Report</em> ranking of colleges and universities, the Index would focus on problems that matter to all voters: How long does it take to vote? How many ballots get discarded? How often do voting machines break down? And it should work for a simple reason: no one wants to be at the bottom of the list.</p> <p>For a process that is supposed to be all about counting, U.S. elections yield few reliable numbers about anything--least of all how well the voting system is managed. <em>The Democracy Index</em> would change this with a blueprint for quantifying election performance and reform results, replacing anecdotes and rhetoric with hard data and verifiable outcomes. A fresh vision of reform, this book shows how to drive improvements by creating incentives for politicians, parties, and election officials to join the cause of change and to come up with creative solutions--all without Congress issuing a single regulation.</p> <p>In clear and energetic terms, <em>The Democracy Index</em> explains how to realize the full potential of the Index while avoiding potential pitfalls. Election reform will never be the same again.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,237円

Failing Up A Professor's Odyssey of Flunking, Determination, and Hope【電子書籍】[ Barbara Hong, Ph.D. ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>KIRKUS STAR REVIEW</strong>--<em>Failing Up</em> was recognized as one of only 2% of books reviewed to earn a Kirkus STAR--the most prestigious designation in the book industry in awarding books of exceptional merit.<br /> <strong>"An absorbing, eye-opening narrative about the value of grit and education, sure to inspire a wide audience."</strong><br /> In this stunning debut memoir, Hong recounts her exceptional transformation from floundering student to flourishing professor. Born in Singapore to an uneducated mother and an alcoholic, abusive father, Hong grew up in severe poverty. She attended school against her parents' wishes. Despite her intellectual curiosity, she consistently failed her subjects because she couldn't keep up with the fast-paced, competitive, shame-inducing educational style.</p> <p>Hong's eloquent present-tense narration animates scenes of family strife and academic struggle and evokes an astounding range of emotions--commiseration, frustration, and eventually elation. Something is always developing, whether it's the narrator herself or the plot.</p> <p>Though the memoir charts the author's intellectual growth, it also considers complex family relationships, poverty, Southeast Asian culture and education, disability, and determination. Hong demonstrates, through her own experiences, the pleasures and rewards of scholarship and effective teaching, and her account underscores how ordinary people can have life-changing effects on others.</p> <p><strong>To read the full review, visit: kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/barbara-hong/failing-up/</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,334円

American churches seem more concerned with what people do with their bodies than with their souls. Now, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend issues a spiritual call to arms to those who feel like her that today’s churchesーCatholic and Protestant alikeーare failing to promote the welfare of those who depend upon them. After recounting her personal story in one of the most prominent Catholic families in America, she shows how America’s neediest are now forgotten while their churches fight political battles against abortion rights and homosexual marriages. She provides hope through powerful examples of individuals effecting change, from obscure social workers to The Purpose-Driven? Life’s Rick Warren, and maintains that our individual actions can return our churches to their traditional role as shepherds to their flock.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,068円

Red Line American Foreign Policy in a Time of Fractured Politics and Failing States【電子書籍】[ P. J. Crowley ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Over the past quarter century, four consecutive American presidentsーtwo Democrat, two Republicanーhave spent more time, diplomatic capital, and military resources on Iraq than any other country in the world. Much as the Vietnam syndrome cast a long shadow over American security policy in the decades after the end of the Vietnam War, Iraq provides the commanding narrative for this generation of American leaders. In this book, former Deputy Secretary of State P. J. Crowley, one of America’s most insightful national security commentators, unpacks the legacy of American triumphs and failures in Iraq . He argues that presidents have fallen victim to the Iraq Syndromeーthe disconnect between politics, policy, strategy, and narrativeーthat has hampered America’s foreign policy in the Middle East and hotspots throughout the world. In order to maintain America’s global leadership role, Crowley argues that the next president must realign American’s national security politics, policies, strategies, and narrative for the long term.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,699円

The Bottom Billion Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It【電子書籍】[ Paul Collier ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the universally acclaimed and award-winning <em>The Bottom Billion</em>, Paul Collier reveals that fifty failed states--home to the poorest one billion people on Earth--pose the central challenge of the developing world in the twenty-first century. The book shines much-needed light on this group of small nations, largely unnoticed by the industrialized West, that are dropping further and further behind the majority of the world's people, often falling into an absolute decline in living standards. A struggle rages within each of these nations between reformers and corrupt leaders--and the corrupt are winning. Collier analyzes the causes of failure, pointing to a set of traps that ensnare these countries, including civil war, a dependence on the extraction and export of natural resources, and bad governance. Standard solutions do not work, he writes; aid is often ineffective, and globalization can actually make matters worse, driving development to more stable nations. What the bottom billion need, Collier argues, is a bold new plan supported by the Group of Eight industrialized nations. If failed states are ever to be helped, the G8 will have to adopt preferential trade policies, new laws against corruption, new international charters, and even conduct carefully calibrated military interventions. Collier has spent a lifetime working to end global poverty. In <em>The Bottom Billion</em>, he offers real hope for solving one of the great humanitarian crises facing the world today. "Set to become a classic. Crammed with statistical nuggets and common sense, his book should be compulsory reading." --<em>The Economist</em> "If Sachs seems too saintly and Easterly too cynical, then Collier is the authentic old Africa hand: he knows the terrain and has a keen ear.... If you've ever found yourself on one side or the other of those arguments--and who hasn't?--then you simply must read this book." --Niall Ferguson, <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> "Rich in both analysis and recommendations.... Read this book. You will learn much you do not know. It will also change the way you look at the tragedy of persistent poverty in a world of plenty." --<em>Financial Times</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,587円

Joe Biden Tweets During the First Year of His Failing Presidency, Volume One Reversing Trump, while Dividing and Destroying America, January through June 2021【電子書籍】[ Gary F. Zeolla ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated as President of the United States (POTUS) on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, Biden gave glowing remarks about his goal being to unite America and to “Build Back Better.” But in fact, his main goal seems to have been to reverse everything his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, accomplished during his four years as President. Never mind if a policy was benefiting America, if Trump did it, it had to be reversed. This reversal of Trump’s policies did little to unite and benefit America. Instead, Biden’s policies began alienating the half of Americans who supported Trump for those very policies. By reversing Trump’s beneficial policies, Biden began destroying America, as his presidency began to be failing. Biden’s early actions also set the stage for more failures later in his presidency, so it is important to remember them. On the day Biden was inaugurated, he took over the @POTUS account on Twitter and began tweeting profusely. His tweets promoted his “Build Back Better” policies. But with them being a reversal of Trump’s policies, they were often subtle attacks on Trump and his supporters. This two-volume set reproduces Biden’s tweets for the first year of his presidency. It also includes my comments I posted on Twitter in response to his tweets. Some of my comments were added later and reflect later developments. I have also added an occasional “Extended Comment” to provide further context and commentary to some tweets. This Volume One of this two-volume set records all of Biden’s tweets from January 20, 2021 to the end of July 2021. Volume Two will cover his tweets from the beginning of August 2021 to January 20, 2022.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 560円

Detroit's School Failure By Design! Why Urban Schools Are Failing And How To Fix Them!【電子書籍】[ Roosevelt Williams ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book explains how Detroit earned its reputation as the worst public school system in the country. It is the story of one man’s attempt to teach his students traditional history in a Detroit classroom, and the District’s determination to stop him. Along the way, he was selected by the principal for “special assistance” because of the number of failing grades in his classes. Detroit officials disapproved of his students reading the textbook, preparing outlines as a study tool, his lecturing to students, and his insistence that his students work to pass his classes. That teacher, Roosevelt Williams, the author wrote the book so that the public can understand that urban schools are failing because of the decisions and policies of the school’s administrators.</p> <p>Using the administrative hearing transcripts, the teacher/author exposes the official’s thinking and the tragic consequences on the Detroit students. The Michigan Teacher Tenure Commission, charged with protecting tenured teachers, endorsed the dismissal decision, stating the Detroit Board: “sought to advance the learning process beyond the level of memorization and rote learning prevalent in appellant’s classroom to capture the attention of the students, to engage them in the learning process and to develop higher level thinking skills by the students.”</p> <p>Finally, the author points out a number of shortcomings to help the schools live up to their public responsibilities to the students and community.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 111円
