His new book, The Tyranny of Metrics (Princeton University Press), critiques not only higher education but many parts of society that rely on metrics. "Gaming the metrics occurs in every realm: in policing, in primary, secondary and higher education; in medicine, in nonprofit organizations; and, of course, in business," Muller writes. MIT professor Alan Natapoff demonstrated mathematically how the Electoral College protects Americans from tyranny of the majority, as well as giving voters significantly more power at the ballot box than they would have in a national popular vote.
Tyranny of the Textbook is an indispensable insider's guide to how the publishing industry creates the single most important resource for what students will be taught in school and why that resource is badly flawed. I highly recommend this book/5(12). Paul Feyerabend is one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century and his book Against Method is an international bestseller. In this new book he masterfully weaves together the main elements of his mature philosophy into a gripping tale: the story of the rise of rationalism in Ancient Greece that eventually led to the entrenchment of a mythical ‘scientific worldview’.
This book is based on an honors course in advanced calculus that we gave in the ’s.

Philosopher Plato discusses five types of regimes (Republic, Book VIII).They are Aristocracy, Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy, and also assigns a man to each of these regimes to illustrate what they stand for. The tyrannical man would represent Tyranny, for example.
Natan Sharansky, the famous Soviet dissident who spent a decade in gulags, has authored his vision for defeating terrorists worldwide: launching a flood of democratic initiatives, especially in totalitarian regimes.
This book, which gained the attention of President Bush and his administration, outlines Sharansky's strategies - based on personal experience - for making the world a safer place.4/5(5). Textbook tyranny How science is stifled by ‘authoritarianism’ by Jerry Bergman.
