In an illuminating analysis, Dr. Genevieve Guenther shows that the climate debate is not, in fact, neatly polarized, with Republicans obstructing climate action and Democrats advancing climate solutions. Partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points, and this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo, even as global heating accelerates. Weaving this analysis through fascinating critical histories of the terms that dominate the language of climate politics Dr. Guenther shows how this consensus is established.

Nel 1964 Norberto Bobbio decide di dedicare le sue lezioni di filosofia del diritto al tema della guerra e della pace. Un tema – non nuovo nella riflessione dei giuristi e dei politologi ma poco frequentato nei corsi universitari – che a Bobbio pare meritevole di essere trattato, non solo perché adatto a una ricostruzione storica e teorica di ampio respiro ma soprattutto perché reso urgente dal pericolo della guerra atomica, nel pieno della crisi dei missili di Cuba.

Anyone who has ever crammed for a test, capitulated to a grade-grubbing student, or fretted over a child's report card knows that the way we assess student learning in American schools is freighted with unintended consequences.

In Off the Mark, Jack Schneider and Ethan Hutt explain how we got into this predicament, why we remain beholden to outmoded forms of assessment, and what we can do to change course.
