Book Description
Apples are so ordinary and so ubiquitous that we often take them for granted. Yet it is surprisingly challenging to grow and sell such a common fruit. In fact, producing diverse, tasty apples for the market requires almost as much ingenuity and interdependence as building and maintaining a vibrant democracy. Understanding the geographic, ecological, and economic forces shaping the choices of apple growers, apple pickers, and apple buyers illuminates what’s at stake in the way we organize our food system. Good Apples is for anyone who wants to go beyond the kitchen and backyard into the orchards, packing sheds, and cold storage rooms; into the laboratories and experiment stations; and into the warehouses, stockrooms, and marketing meetings, to better understand how we as citizens and eaters can sustain the farms that provide food for our communities. Susan Futrell has spent years working in sustainable food distribution, including more than a decade with apple growers. She shows us why sustaining family orchards, like family farms, may be essential to the soul of our nation.

Book Description
“For a woman who thinks of herself as a New Yorker at this point, I buy a lot of clothes from companies named things like Shrimp & Grits. Why? Because identity is complicated.” Elizabeth Passarella is content with being complicated. She grew up in Memphis in a conservative, Republican family with a Christian mom and a Jewish dad. Then she moved to New York, fell in love with the city—and, eventually, her husband—and changed. Sort of. While her politics have tilted to the left, she still puts her faith first—and argues that the two can go hand in hand, for what it’s worth. In this sharp and slyly profound memoir, Elizabeth shares stories about everything from conceiving a baby in an unair-conditioned garage in Florida to finding a rat in her bedroom. She upends stereotypes about Southerners, New Yorkers, and Christians, making a case that we are all flawed humans simply doing our best. Good Apple is a hilarious, welcome celebration of the absurdity, chaos, and strange sacredness of life that brings us all together, whether we have city lights or starry skies in our eyes. More importantly, it’s about the God who pursues each of us, no matter our own inconsistencies or failures, and shows us the way back home.

Book Description
Should chronically disruptive students be allowed to remain in public schools? Should nonagenarians receive costly medical care at taxpayer expense? Who should be first in line for kidney transplants—the relatively healthy or the severely ill? In T argeting in Social Programs , Peter H. Schuck and Richard J. Zeckhauser provide a rigorous framework for analyzing these and other difficult choices. Many government policies seek to help unfortunate, often low-income individuals—in other words, "bad draws." These efforts are frequently undermined by poor targeting, however. In particular, when two groups of bad draws—"bad bets" and "bad apples"—are included in social welfare programs, bad policies are likely to result. Many politicians and policymakers prefer to sweep this problem under the rug. But the costs of this silence are high. Allocating resources to bad bets and bad apples does more than waste money—it also makes it harder to achieve substantive goals, such as the creation of safe and effective schools. And perhaps most important, it erodes support for public programs on which many good bets and good apples rely. By training a spotlight on these issues, Schuck and Zeckhauser take a first step toward much-needed reforms. They dissect the challenges involved in defining bad bets and bad apples and discuss the safeguards that any classification process must provide. They also examine three areas where bad apples and bad bets loom large—public schools, public housing, and medical care—and propose policy changes that could reduce the problems these two groups pose. This provocative book does not offer easy answers, but it raises questions that no one with an interest in policy effectiveness can afford to ignore. By turns incisive and probing, Bad Draws will generate vigorous debate.

Book Description
We can now measure mathematically the accuracy of a political or law group decision: The accuracy of a parliament, a supreme court, or a jury, to know the amount of error in a German, U.K. or U.S.A. Supreme Court, and the error of a congress, a court, or any organization decision. Examples: The new law created had 67% accuracy and 33% error, the court decision had 45% error, and the jury decision had 15% error. A mathematical proof is presented showing the Simple Majority Voting System has 0% accuracy guarantee. The computed numbers can be startling. The book moves the study of politics and law from the arts and philosophy area, into a science founded on mathematics. “Your conclusions are absolutely correct. I will definitely spread your mathematical conclusions ... across the world.” Dr. Hemaraju Pollayi, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, GITAM University.

Book Description
It is a unique story. A book like this was never written until now. You will find in it the astonishing truth and revelation about many aspects and facts of life you didn’t think before or were afraid to think about; you will be pleased and satisfied that finally, the daring truth is revealed clearly and naked as a new born baby but with the power of a Hercules. Going again back to mythology for an example, if the many troublesome, frightening aspects of today’s so called civilized, modern human society is a Goliath, those speakers in the book are the little David overpowering in a surprising way the giant of evil, lies, open and hidden cruelty, unbelievable ignorance and stupidity of which the human society is full, at every step. Some independent and objective, wise observers from the outside of the human species, after dissecting all the depicted troubles with the accuracy and the precision of a surgeon, present the rational solutions which for some may look farfetched, but for the bright minds they appear in all their majestic realism of the possible practical implementation, if the full power of intelligence and will, is used. Please, read this book, you will not regret a bit, you will enjoy every moment of it and will get food for thought as never before. And at some points you will be amused too.
