A bold new history of modern conservatism that finds its origins in the populist right-wing politics of the 1990s 
 
Ronald Reagan has long been lionized for building a conservative coalition sustained by an optimistic vision of American exceptionalism, small government, and free markets. But as historian Nicole Hemmer reveals, the Reagan coalition was short-lived; it fell apart as soon as its charismatic leader left office. In the 1990s — a decade that has yet to be recognized as the breeding ground for today’s polarizing politics — changing demographics and the emergence of a new political-entertainment media fueled the rise of combative far-right politicians and pundits. These partisans, from Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich to Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham, forged a new American right that emphasized anti-globalism, appeals to white resentment, and skepticism about democracy itself.  
 
Partisans is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the crisis of American politics today.

Partisans by Nicole Hemmer Read by Nicole Hemmer - Audiobook Excerpt

With the war in Ukraine, school shootings and Jan. 6 hearings, it’s hard to imagine a better time for “Designing Peace” at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. The museum has selected projects from 25 countries to highlight how design can address the root causes of conflict. The World’s Sarah Birnbaum reports.

In India, the cheetah was declared extinct in 1952. Now, wildlife officials there are trying to re-introduce it with cheetahs brought in from South Africa and Namibia. It is the first time a large carnivore is being moved from one continent to another and reintroduced into the wild. Marco Werman speaks with Yadvendradev Jhala of the Wildlife Institute of India, which is playing a key role in the effort.
