Politics, Dialogue and the Evolution of Democracy: How to Discuss Race, Abortion, Immigration, Gun Control, Climate Change, Same Sex Marriage and OtheIn the U. S. and around the world, we are mired in political conflicts that are filled with bitterness, hatred, prejudice and personal attacks, leading to increased stereotyping and discrimination, divisive language and antagonistic, hate filled conversations that diminish our ability to work together to solve problems that increasingly impact all of us.

In the U. S. and around the world, we are mired in political conflicts that are filled with bitterness, hatred, prejudice and personal attacks, leading to increased stereotyping and discrimination, divisive language and antagonistic, hate-filled conversations that diminish our ability to work together to solve problems that increasingly impact all of us.

The problem is, we haven't figured out yet how to discuss political ideas and beliefs in ways that lead to learning, collaboration, empathy, mutual understanding, and problem solving. Doing so raises difficult questions, such as:

  • How do we discuss what we believe in without becoming biased and adversarial?
  • How do we learn to talk to each other about difficult and dangerous topics?
  • What makes politics so contentious, and how do we transform political conflicts?
  • How do we design, organize, and facilitate dialogues about these contentious issues without degenerating into pointless diatribes?
  • What higher order skills and capacities are required for democracy to succeed?
  • What are the limits of democracy, and in what directions is it evolving?
  • What can interest-based approaches to conflict teach us about how to engage in political conflicts constructively?

Explore these questions and more in this profoundly necessary and timely book.

Delightful and thought-provoking!

Absolutely delightful and thought-provoking Audio book, read by Tyson himself. (An excellent companion volume to Hegseth’s “Take me to Your Liter”. )

Quick read, entertaining & informative
Format: Hardcover
This book can be enjoyed on several levels. It could be tongue-in-cheek or satire, but is also backed by facts and conjecture by one of the world’s greatest scientific thinkers. I think Dr. Tyson had fun writing it, and i certainly had fun reading it. And I learned a lot.

Aliens: Know what to expect!
Format: Audiobook
This is a really fun review of Earth's obsession with alien life, what we have historically expected of aliens--and what they might expect of us. If you are a long-time listener of the author or a viewer of his YouTube show (Star Talk), you have probably heard much of what NDT has to say on this subject already--here and there as he picks his way thru the universe, but why not listen to him now again as he focuses his energies on just this alien subject? If you want an enjoyable read, it will be worth your time. If you're not a long-time listener of NDT... and you have any interest in aliens at all, then you DEFINITELY should give this book a go. It is full of thoughtful insights from a man who has devoted his life to the science and 'cultural impact' of the stars. I listened to the Audible version wherein NDT reads his own book aloud for you. His efforts really allow you to gain his insights... And his strong sense of humor--in equal doses. 5 Stars

My son is actually motivated to do a workbook
Format: Paperback
My Kindergartener finished homeschool online early and we have been doing a page a day and he loves it and loves to earn a sticker after each day and put it on his chart. I love how engaging the workbook is and how it introduces some 1st grade concepts. Would highly recommend.
