{"product_id":"the-america-syndrome-betsy-hartmann-9781609809454","title":"The America Syndrome: Apocalypse, War, and Our Call to Greatness","description":"Has apocalyptic thinking contributed to some of our nation's biggest problems--inequality, permanent war, and the despoiling of our natural resources? From the Puritans to the present, historian and public policy advocate Betsy Hartmann sheds light on a pervasive but--until now--invisible theme shaping the American mindset: apocalyptic thinking, or the belief that the end of the world is nigh. Hartmann makes a compelling case that apocalyptic fears are deeply intertwined with the American ethos, to our detriment. In \u003ci\u003eThe America Syndrome\u003c\/i\u003e, she seeks to reclaim human agency and, in so doing, revise the national narrative. By changing the way we think, we just might change the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betsy Hartmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609809459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609809454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Betsy Hartmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078502215935,"sku":"9781609809454","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_742cda1f-40d8-4fbc-bbe4-900e854fd0ae.jpg?v=1685475886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-america-syndrome-betsy-hartmann-9781609809454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
