Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America

Why the Electoral College Is Bad for America

George C. Edwards III

Cambridge University Press
2023
pokkari
The electoral college is the extraordinarily complex mechanism by which Americans choose their president. Is there any justification for such a system, which may elect the candidate who does not receive the most votes? Today, with two of the last five presidential elections having gone to the popular vote loser and the debacle following the 2020 election, the electoral college's flaws are more apparent than ever. In this fourth edition of the definitive book on the electoral college, George Edwards employs rigorous analysis and systemic data to show how the system violates core democratic principles and does not provide the benefits its advocates claim. With a new chapter focusing on the 2020 election, Edwards addresses justifications for the electoral college that were popular among Trump supporters following the 2016 and 2020 elections. Edwards concludes by offering a straightforward approach to selecting the president that maximizes political equality.

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
Providing an indispensable resource for students and scholars studying the history of medieval women and gender, this book provides a comprehensive depiction of women's lives in the 14th and 15th centuries.The late medieval period in England was one rich with opportunities for women, who played fundamental roles in family businesses as well as in the peasant community and economy, and who wrote letters, created autobiographies, and documented their spiritual journeys. Their lives fit into a pattern of seasonal celebrations and rituals shaped, for the majority of women, by work, marriage, and motherhood. The text further considers status distinctions, then shifts to experiences that affected all women, such as the ritual year, disease, food and drink, sex or celibacy, and religion.By providing an overview of the history of English women and gender in the 14th and 15th centuries, the book provides a background suitable for students as well as for academics beginning work in this field.

Idiopathic Hydronephrosis

Idiopathic Hydronephrosis

E.C. Edwards

Springer London Ltd
2011
nidottu
For more than a century, the condition now known as Idiopathic Hydronephrosis has been recognised as a clinical entity, and following the original description by Rayer in 1841 a variety of procedures were devised in attempts to correct the condition surgically. Most of these early methods were introduced in the last decade of the nineteenth century by several illustrious clinicians, including Trendelenburg, KOster, Fenger and Sutton. For many years diagnosis was based purely upon the patients presenting signs and symptoms and not until the early part of this century was technology available to assist in the pre-operative diagnosis of the condition. Early methods depended upon radiological techniques, and the introduction of the retrograde pyelogram by Voelcker and Lichtenberg in 1906 represented a significant advance in diagnostic methodology. Other methods also dependent upon radiographic techniques were subsequently introduced, including urography in the late 1930s by Swick, and more recently, the method of cineradio- graphy, as pioneered with considerable success by Peter Narath in the decade following World War II. During the past 50 years a variety of surgical procedures have been introduced for the treatment of idiopathic hydronephrosis. That so many different methods have been devised suggests that no one specific technique is capable of achieving a complete cure in all cases.

We all must deal with life's slings and arrows-and part of that means dealing with some assholes along the way. Edwards's new book, Assholes: A Field Guide, offers suggestions and activities on how to transcend life's daily obstacles and deal with the assholes in your path. Social interactions can be a deceptively complicated thing, and there is no one magical recipe to make problems go away. Assholes: A Field Guide offers skills and strategies to successfully engage those that make life difficult, while helping the reader understand his/hers responses in those trying exchanges. Edwards outlines how to set helpful boundaries that support the other person while not allowing that person to take advantage of a difficult situation. The book also is not an "us versus them" approach. Edwards implores you to consider your own actions and think about the ways in which you can work on improving your own behavior. Assholes: A Field Guide is a deft primer on how to navigate tricky social scenarios with empathy, insight, and a minimum of fuss.
