Leader of the Druid Peak Pack, Wolf 21 was known for his unwavering bravery, his unusual benevolence (unlike other alphas, he never killed defeated rival males), and his fierce commitment to his mate, the formidable Wolf 42. In this compelling follow-up to the national bestseller The Rise of Wolf 8, Rick McIntyre profiles one of Yellowstone's most revered alpha males, Wolf 21. This is the dramatic true story of its remarkable leader, Wolf 21-whose compassion and loyalty challenges commonly held beliefs about alpha males.

"A redemption story, an adventure story, and perhaps above all, a love story." -Nate Blakeslee, New York Times -bestselling author of American Wolf

Pinker book rationality7/4/2023 Instead, he explains, we think in ways that suit the low-tech contexts in which we spend most of our lives, but fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning we have built up over millennia- logic, critical thinking, probability, and decision-making under uncertainty. After all, we discovered the laws of nature, lengthened and enriched our lives and set the benchmarks for rationality itself. In Rationality, Pinker rejects the cynical cliche that humans are simply an irrational species. How can a species that discovered vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, quack cures and conspiracy theorizing? In the twenty-first century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind.

When I love a character I want to read every single story he’s in. Hidden underneath the rather ordinary dust-jacket is a perfectly handsome, deep-dark navy, cloth-bound hardcover with lovely gold lettering on the spine. Yes, that’s my cherished antique copy in the above photo. Here it is: The Complete Sherlock Holmes, published by Doubleday & Company Inc. But this post isn’t about those, it’s about the best volume for the Holmes aficionado. As you probably know, many of the great books of yesteryear have fallen out of copyright and are published by in countless editions (almost 4 and 1/2 thousand of Sherlock Holmes according to Goodreads), many of them cheaply done in mass paperback printings. If you’re looking for the best Sherlock Holmes book and are overwhelmed by the choices, here’s my advice from 6 years of dedicated treasure hunting in bookshops. The Best Sherlock Holmes Book Edition (for any true Sherlock aficionado)

Part of the KKK’s enduring draw is that it refers not to a single organization, but rather to a collection of groups bound by use of now-iconic racist symbols - white hoods, flowing sheets, fiery crosses - and a predilection for vigilante violence. Quickly expanding from a localized membership, the KKK has become perhaps the most resonant representation of white supremacy and racial terror in the United States. The Ku Klux Klan was first formed in 1866, through the efforts of a small band of Confederate veterans in Tennessee. The author of Klansville, U.S.A.: The Rise and Fall of the Civil Rights-Era KKK, Cunningham is Professor and Chair of Sociology at Brandeis University.īefore discussing the most pressing questions people tend to have about the KKK, let me add some background for basic context. American Experience asked sociologist and Ku Klux Klan scholar David Cunningham to provide responses to the five questions he is most frequently asked about the Klan.
