In College Mania, Joshua Flapan delivers a bold examination of modern higher education and its growing obsession with credentials. Challenging the belief that more degrees guarantee better lives, the book questions whether universities have taken on the role of a “doctor” for society, often at a high cost. Provocative and research-driven, College Mania invites students, parents, and policymakers to rethink the true value of education.
Present-Day Nonviolent Revolution
In an era marked by endless wars, political scandals, institutional paralysis, and deep cultural division, New Direction: The Nonviolent Movement offers a bold, provocative, and timely rethinking of governance, not through chaos or violence, but through peaceful, constitutional transformation.
The author presents a compelling case that the American political system, as it currently functions, is no longer capable of meeting modern challenges. At its core, this work is about restoring purpose. America once united behind clear national missions; today, it is trapped in endless election cycles, unresolved wedge issues, and institutional gridlock. New Direction challenges readers to envision a system where leaders are accountable, governance is functional, and diplomacy replaces perpetual conflict. It extends its vision beyond the United States, proposing international reforms to reduce war, restructure global institutions, and promote long-term peace.
This is not a call to tear the system down.
It is a call to rebuild it, peacefully, thoughtfully, and boldly.
Innocent and Executed’ discusses the wrongful executions of five individuals, possibly in Post-Furman, Georgia, where the death penalty was declared unconstitutional in 1972. These individuals had reasonable doubts in their cases and might not be convicted by a jury today. The 32,000-word book argues that around 591 people have died over 40 years, some of whom may have been innocent, including Carmen Todd Willingham of Texas and possibly Troy Davis of Georgia. It also calls for reforms in the criminal justice system, tackling issues such as jailhouse snitches, witness identification, and the polygraph test. Since the 1970s, the use of the death penalty has declined, and Biden has reduced the sentences of 37 out of 40 death row inmates, excluding those who committed terrorism. Currently, Texas has executed more inmates than the entire populations of Russia and Venezuela combined.
