Mass incarceration and aggressive police tactics -- and their impact on people of color -- are feeding outrage and a consensus that something must be done. But what if we only know half the story? In Locking Up Our Own, the Yale legal scholar and former public defender James Forman Jr. weighs the tragic role that some African Americans themselves played in escalating the war on crime. As Forman shows, the first substantial cohort of black mayors, judges, and police chiefs took office around the country amid a surge in crime. Many came to believe that tough measures -- such as stringent drug and gun laws and "pretext traffic stops" in poor African American neighborhoods -- were needed to secure a stable future for black communities. Some politicians and activists saw criminals as a "cancer" that had to be cut away from the rest of black America. Others supported harsh measures more reluctantly, believing they had no other choice in the face of a public safety emergency. Drawing on his experience as a public defender and focusing on Washington, D.C., Forman writes with compassion for individuals trapped in terrible dilemmas -- from the young men and women he defended to officials struggling to cope with an impossible situation. The result is an original view of our justice system as well as a moving portrait of the human beings caught in its coils."--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C700748</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C700748</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Forman, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/700748018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Crime and Punishment in Black America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374189976/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Invisible Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women​, diving into women's lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world."--provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C783318</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C783318</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Criado-Perez, Caroline]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/783318018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Data Bias in A World Designed for Men</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419729072/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poisoned Ivies]]></title><description><![CDATA["For decades, conservatives have warned about the decline of higher education. Now, for the first time in modern history, Americans are taking action. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a Harvard alumna herself, lit the fuse when she posed basic questions to the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania, such as: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your university's rules on bullying and harassment? Their inability to answer with moral clarity sparked a national reckoning causing multiple Ivy League presidents to resign. It was the most-watched Congressional hearing of all time. But that was just the beginning. Poisoned Ivies delivers an unflinching account of what has gone wrong on America's college campuses. Stefanik exposes how the nation's most prestigious institutions abandoned their founding ideals of freedom of thought, open debate, and academic excellence, and instead embraced a culture of censorship, radical leftist groupthink, antisemitism, and moral cowardice that has spread far beyond campus walls to every corner of American life. Both a damning expoš and a blueprint for reform, Poisoned Ivies is a timely story of courage and conviction and the power of one voice to challenge the status quo in American higher education and delivers a long-overdue reckoning. A must-read for anyone concerned with the fight for our nation's soul." --]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C934556</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C934556</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stefanik, Elise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/934556018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America&apos;s Elite Universities</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668087534/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Captive Gods]]></title><description><![CDATA["Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah explores how early social scientists developed our modern understandings of society through their theories of religion. The foundations of modern social science were built on the study of religion, the acclaimed thinker Kwame Anthony Appiah argues. Delving into the intellectual currents of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he investigates how formative thinkers - notably Edward Burnett Tylor, Émile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber - grappled with the concepts of society and religion as interdependent categories. Appiah shows how their efforts to define religion, or evade the task, mark the power and limitations of social thought in ways that persist among theorists today. Religion was not merely an object of study but a framework through which early social scientists established sociology as a discipline. Appiah also examines more recent work in both interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology about the mechanisms through which communities form beliefs and values - while underscoring the enduring significance of these earlier debates for contemporary social thought. Throughout, he intertwines storytelling, historical analysis, and philosophical reflection to show how our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions" --]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C925928</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C925928</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Appiah, Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/925928018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Religion and the Rise of Social Science</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780300233063/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revered Roots]]></title><description><![CDATA["With Indigenous M̌tis herbalist LoriAnn Bird as your guide, connect with the ancestral wisdom of over 90 wild edible and medicinal plants from across North America."--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C910931</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C910931</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bird, LoriAnn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/910931018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Ancestral Teachings and Wisdom of Wild, Edible, and Medicinal Plants</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780760393253/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Life's Work]]></title><description><![CDATA[What's it like to dedicate your life to work that won't be completed in your lifetime?

In one hundred lean and incisive statements, he argues that we are essentially social creatures, and that we achieve our greatest aspirations when we work together--not as individuals. Yet today society is threatened by a vast antihuman infrastructure that undermines our ability to connect. Money, once a means of exchange, is now a means of exploitation; education, conceived as way to elevate the working class, has become another assembly line; and the internet has only further divided us into increasingly atomized and radicalized groups. Team Human delivers a call to arms. If we are to resist and survive these destructive forces, we must recognize that being human is a team sport. In Rushkoff's own words: "Being social may be the whole point." Harnessing wide-ranging research on human evolution, biology, and psychology, Rushkoff shows that when we work together we realize greater happiness, productivity, and peace. If we can find the others who understand this fundamental truth and reassert our humanity--together--we can make the world a better place to be human."--Page [1].]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C782743</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C782743</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rushkoff, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/782743018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393651690/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking in Systems]]></title><description><![CDATA["Thinking in Systems is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global.

If we can toss aside our fears and learn to approach them clearly-understanding how our own preconceptions lead us astray-statistics can point to ways we can live better and work smarter. As "perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world" (New Statesman), Tim Harford is an expert at taking complicated ideas and untangling them for millions of readers. In The Data Detective, he uses new research in science and psychology to set out ten strategies for using statistics to erase our biases and replace them with new ideas that use virtues like patience, curiosity, and good sense to better understand ourselves and the world.

She also can't help thinking like a woman. After all, she's both. But there seems like there must be a clear tension. She had to learn to be a mathematician, for one thing, and-in the popular imagination, anyway-mathematics seems very "male," the domain of individualistic geniuses with terrible social skills, pursuing university tenure and fame. Those traits, however, aren't really what it means to do math: as Cheng has shown through her three previous books, what it really means to think like a mathematician is to see past the distracting, superficial details of things to find their essences. When she turned that thinking upon gender, she found, there wasn't much essence to speak of at all. But what she did find there has become this book. At the heart of x + y are two concepts: not masculine or feminine, but what Cheng calls ingressive and congressive personalities. Ingressive people are competitive, independent, bold, risk-taking, self-assured, and often have one-track minds: these are the people Cheng worked with in high finance, the sort of people who might do well as surgeons or daredevils. Congressive people, on the other hand, focus on society and community, take the needs of others into account, emphasize interconnectedness, and tend to collaborate. As a society, we associate ingressive personalities with men and congressive personalities with women. And herein lies the problem-the source not just of gender inequality, but a great deal of individual unhappiness. When a mathematician like Cheng pursues the issue abstractly, she finds nothing uniquely male about ingression or female about congression. But she does find that, from standardized exams to Nobel prizes, society fundamentally rewards the ingressive, thereby forcing many people-including Cheng herself, one upon a time-to learn and practice a suite of behaviors that they might not have otherwise. To Cheng, it would be a failure to think that a bunch of bad-ass female CEOs would represent true progress, or that the world will be better when men get in touch with their feminine side, because both those scenarios are predicated on faulty premises and bad abstractions. x + y is a call to action, offering a vision of how we can use the power of abstraction to make the world less competitive, that is, more congressive, and to solve gender inequality, not by encouraging men to be less aggressive, or women to be more, but by realizing that-once you start thinking about the problem like a mathematician-it becomes clear that most of what we ascribe to gender has nothing to do with gender at all"--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C821569</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C821569</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cheng, Eugenia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/821569018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mathematician&apos;s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541646506/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill Practice]]></title><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699139</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699139</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Forte, Imogene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699139018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Grade 3</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629504841/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill Practice]]></title><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699138</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699138</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Forte, Imogene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699138018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Grade 2</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629504827/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill Practice]]></title><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699140</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699140</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Forte, Imogene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699140018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Grade 4</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629504865/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill Practice]]></title><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699141</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C699141</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Forte, Imogene]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/699141018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Grade 5</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629504889/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Thinking]]></title><description><![CDATA["Critical-thinking skills are essential for life in the 21st century. In this follow-up to his introductory guide Think, and continuing his trademark of hopeful skepticism, Guy Harrison demonstrates in a detailed fashion how to sort through bad ideas, unfounded claims, and bogus information to drill down to the most salient facts. By explaining how the human brain works, and outing its most irrational processes, this book provides the thinking tools that will help you make better decisions, ask the right questions (at the right time), know what to look for when evaluating information, and understand how your own brain subconsciously clouds your judgment. Think you're too smart to be easily misled? Harrison summarizes scientific research showing how easily even intelligent and well-educated people can be fooled. We all suffer from cognitive biases, embellished memories, and the tendency to kowtow to authority figures or be duped by dubious 'truths' packaged in appealing stories. And as primates we are naturally status seekers, so we are prone to irrational beliefs that seem to enhance our sense of belonging and ranking. Emotional impulses and stress also all too often lead us into traps of misperception and bad judgment. Understanding what science has discovered about the brain makes you better equipped to cope with its built-in pitfalls. Good Thinking--the book and the practice-- makes clear that with knowledge and the right thinking skills, anyone can lead a safer, wiser, more efficient, and productive life"--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C647124</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C647124</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harrison, Guy P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/647124018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>What You Need to Know to Be Smarter, Safer, Wealthier, and Wiser</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781633880641/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spotlight on Young Children and Social Studies]]></title><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C452556</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C452556</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/452556018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781928896388/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
