Shooting Down Gun Violence Misinformation"Don't tell me there's no
such thing as gun violence. It happened in Parkland." ―Fred
Guttenberg #1 New Release in School Safety Fred Guttenberg, who
lost his beloved daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland school
shooting, and International gun policy consultant Thomas Gabor team
up in American Carnage to dismantle some of the most common myths
about guns and gun violence. A national disgrace. Over 40,000 die
each year as a result of gun violence in America. Relative to other
advanced countries, the U.S. has a dismal gun violence record. Gun
law reforms could reduce the number of gun deaths per year, but
many political challenges stand in the way. A widespread multi-year
misinformation campaign and assault on truth by the gun lobby and
gun-extremists sows doubt about the dangers posed by pervasive gun
ownership and gun carrying, as well as the potential effectiveness
of gun laws. Debunking popular gun myths. Countering with strong
evidence-based research the many slogans and myths repeated
incessantly by spokespersons for the gun lobby and its surrogates
is essential if we are to have a society in which kids can attend
school safely and people can work and enjoy life without fear of
being shot. Over the last 30 years, the NRA’s campaign to achieve
an armed society has succeeded in persuading many Americans that
having a gun in the home or carrying a gun makes them safer. The
evidence is overwhelming this is not the case. Guns in the home are
far more likely to be used against a family member or in a suicide
attempt than against an intruder. Tackling this and other myths is
critical. Myths and slogans exposed as false in American Carnage
include: Gun owners frequently use firearms to fend off attackers
An armed society is a safer society Guns don’t kill people,
people kill people If you have read Trigger Points, The Violence
Project, Warning Signs, or Fred Guttenberg’s Find the Helpers,
American Carnage is a must read.
In 1995 The Boundaryless Organization showed companies how to sweep away the artificial obstacles-such as hierarchy, turf, and geography-that get in the way of outstanding business performance. Now, in this completely revised edition of their groundbreaking work, management experts Ron Ashkenas, Dave Ulrich, Todd Jick, and Steve Kerr offer an up-to-date version of their comprehensive guide to help any organization go "boundaryless"-and become a company with the ability to quickly, proactively, and creatively adjust to changes in the environment. With new examples, a new commentary on the developments of the last five years, and illuminating first-hand accounts from pioneering senior executives, the authors once again show why "boundaryless" is a prerequisite for any organization trying to succeed in the economy of the twenty-first century.
