William L. Laurence was fascinated with atomic science and its militarization. When the Manhattan Project drew near to perfecting the atomic bomb, he was recruited to write much of the government's press materials that were distributed on the day that Hiroshima was obliterated. That instantly crowned Laurence as one of the leading journalistic experts on the atomic bomb. As the Cold War dawned, some assessed Laurence as a propagandist defending the militarization of atomic energy. For others, he was a skilled science communicator who provided the public with an understanding of the atomic bomb.

Suisheng Zhao, "China's Big Power Ambition under Xi Jinping: Narratives and Driving Forces"
English | ISBN: 1032057211 | 2021 | 276 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Instead of emphasizing China as a developing country, Chinese President Xi Jinping has identified China as a big power and accentuated China's big power status. This book explores the narratives and driving forces behind China's big power ambition. Three narratives rooted in Sino-centralism are examined. One is China's demands for the reform of global governance to reflect the values and interests of China as a rising power. Another is China's Belt and Road Initiative to construct a nascent China-centred world order. The third is the China model and self-image promotion in the developing countries.

Humans have always been caregivers. Yet caregiving for children, the sick, and the elderly is shockingly undervalued and underaccommodated. Given how little value is placed on caregiving, the work-life movement has been stalled for decades, stuck on women and their children like a skipping record. There are more women in the workforce, but not significantly more in the top leadership positions. Most importantly, many women-- and increasingly some men--experience their efforts to have careers and care for dependents as a battle against themselves or their own wellbeing. Most of this conversation is centered on helping mothers succeed in the workplace, with little attention to how we think about caregiving more broadly.

At the start of the 1960s, John F. Kennedy and other American liberals expressed boundless optimism about the ability of the United States to promote democracy and development in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. With US power, resources, and expertise, almost anything seemed possible in the countries of the Cold War's "Third World"-developing, postcolonial nations unaligned with the United States or Soviet Union. Yet by the end of the decade, this vision lay in ruins. What happened?

Sometimes, when we think of an ambitious person, we imagine someone with unfettered drive to achieve what they want, no matter the cost. And sadly, for some people, this unhealthy sort of ambition is a reality, and it can affect a person's mental or physical health, relationships, and happiness. But there's also a healthier version of ambition, one that can lead to greater levels of performance, deep personal learning, and a gratifying sense of purpose. In this course, best-selling author and management consultant Ron Carucci teaches you the three components of healthy ambition: Performance ambition, growth ambition, and achievement ambition. Ron shows how to balance the right degree of each component, and avoid the pitfalls of too much, or too little, of any of them. If you're looking to reinvigorate your sense of what your future could hold, join Ron in this course.
