The big sort / Bishop, Bill
Título : The big sort : why the clustering of like-minded America is tearing us apart Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Bishop, Bill, Autor ; Cushing, Robert G., Autor Editorial: Boston, MA : Houghton Mifflin Co. Fecha de publicación: 2008 Número de páginas: viii, 370 p. : Il.: ill., maps ; Dimensiones: 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-618-68935-4 Nota general: America may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote as we do. We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood--and church and news show--most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. And we are living with the consequences of this way-of-life segregation. Our country has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred, that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. The reason for this situation, and the dire implications for our country, is the subject of this groundbreaking work.--From publisher description.

Título : The assault on reason Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Gore, Albert, Autor Editorial: New York, NY : Penguin Books Fecha de publicación: 2007 Número de páginas: 308 p. Dimensiones: 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-59420-122-6 Nota general: An analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith has created an environment dangerously hostile to reason. We live in an age when the 30-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorate's thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Of even greater concern is this administration's disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained--an open inquiry in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions. Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges. Gore aims to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds, and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do to safeguard our future.--From publisher description.
