TTC - The Skeptic's Guide to American History

For most Americans, the history of the United States is built on a set of long-accepted beliefs about events, each of which resonates in the nation's collective memory. But what if those beliefs-however familiar-don't really tell the whole story?
For most Americans, the history of the United States is built on a set of long-accepted beliefs about events, each of which resonates in the nation's collective memory. But what if those beliefs-however familiar-don't really tell the whole story? Our knowledge of history-or what we believe to be history-is the lens through which we view and interpret the world. And when that lens is distorted with misleading information, it has powerful effects on how we perceive the present and how we make decisions in the future, from choosing whom to vote for to interpreting the latest developments in today's news and opinion pieces.
To take a skeptical approach to American history is not to dabble in imaginative conspiracy theories or doubt the essence of the American experiment; rather, it's to reframe your understanding of this great nation's past and actually strengthen your appreciation for what makes American history such a fascinating chapter in the larger story of Western civilization.
Sorting through misconceptions, myths, and half-truths about America's past is also a chance to revisit some of the country's greatest episodes, figures, and themes from a fresh perspective and an opportunity to hone the way you think about and interpret the past, the present, and even the future.
In The Skeptic's Guide to American History, you can do just that. This bold 24-lecture course examines many commonly held myths and half-truths about American history and prompts you to think about what really happened in the nation's past-as opposed to what many believe happened.
Delivered by award-winning scholar and Professor Mark A. Stoler of The University of Vermont, these lectures demonstrate how reconsidering some of the most popular notions of U.S. history can yield new (and sometimes startlingly different) interpretations of political, social, economic, and military events. But more than just debunking commonly accepted accounts, you'll be able to replace these misconceptions with insightful truths.
See the Evolution of History
History, no matter how objectively it may be pursued, is still a profoundly subjective discipline and most emphatically not a science. History is also evolutionary, with every generation reinterpreting the past in light of its own problems, perceptions, and experiences.
Oft-repeated beliefs addressed in The Skeptic's Guide to American History include, to name only a few, these ideas
The colonies rose up in united determination to defeat Great Britain and win independence.
The Civil War was fought over slavery and the Union's commitment to racial equality.
A policy of laissez-faire helped create the economic juggernaut that propelled America to world dominance.
Today's convergence of religion and politics represents a dramatic departure from the separation of church and state put in place by the Founding Fathers.
Exploring both the events of America's history and the verdicts that have been rendered about some of its most enduring figures-including George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, George C. Marshall, Lyndon Johnson, and many more-The Skeptic's Guide to American History examines a wide-ranging list of questions, including these
What impact did other nations have on the American Revolution?
Has George Washington always been revered as president? Why or why not?
What about America's other presidents? Which ones may have been underrated, and which overrated?
In what ways were the responses to the Great Depression by presidents Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt actually quite similar, and why have their subsequent reputations nonetheless differed so sharply?
Do we now understand the true blunders in America's Vietnam policies and tactics?
How did the use of historical analogies affect cold war policymakers? Was the cold war inevitable?
Rethink the Meaning of History
In addition to rethinking not just the facts of U.S. history, but also their meaning, Professor Stoler offers fresh insight into history itself as well as how historians think and work. He presents a realistic picture of what the craft of history is and the most important things one can get out of its study.
The Skeptic's Guide to American History is also extremely revealing about how misperceptions of events at the time they happened-including how prior beliefs and perspectives caused those misperceptions-can be exacerbated over the years and obscure future understanding.
For example, you learn how the obvious success of an early 19th-century effort to make George Washington the personification of a national identity for America has come at a price. For it has not only obscured the knowledge of his failings essential to a well-rounded understanding of the man, but also of many of his successes-some of which may be his most important contributions to American history.
Few Americans, for example, are familiar with what is known as the Newburgh Conspiracy, a politically motivated plot during the winter of 1782-1783 that might well have developed into a real coup, with anti-Washington elements in the army enlisted as catalysts. Professor Stoler takes you into the extraordinary meeting called by Washington when he learned of the plot, offering a portrait of leadership under pressure more revealing than any story of a cherry tree and hatchet ever could be.
Get a Fresh Perspective on Powerful Episodes
The above insights are but some of the many that make this course such an intriguing look into an American "history"so many of us take for granted, with eye-opening explorations of key themes and episodes, including these
The ironic role played by the "cult of domesticity,"in which the moral battle by religious women on behalf of temperance also led to the birth of the reform movement that would ultimately give women the right to vote.
Why the Battle of Gettysburg-which at the time was not perceived as pivotal by either side-came to be seen as the "turning point"of the war, including the role played by Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in unintentionally elevating the battle in history's vision beyond the far more important Union victories at Antietam, Vicksburg, and Atlanta.
The origins of America's established war mythology, including the ideas that the United States does not start wars, but only responds to attacks, and that history reveals a pattern of America consistently "winning the war but losing the peace."
Working in the same crystal-clear style that has earned him so many teaching awards-including The University of Vermont's George V. Kidder Outstanding Faculty Award and the Kroepsch-Maurice Excellence in Teaching Award-Professor Stoler takes you on a challenging but intellectually invigorating journey through American history.
The Skeptic's Guide to American History is a journey that allows you to rethink not just the facts of U.S. history, but also their meaning. Just as important, Professor Stoler makes that process a delightful intellectual experience.

TTC - Sex in the Middle Ages
Released 1/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch

Sex. The word makes some people giggle or blush, while others may draw back in discomfort. Whatever the reaction, whether positive or negative or a confusing mix of both, it's rarely neutral. But sexual intercourse is a basic biological fact of life-and none of us would be here without it.
So, why do we find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? Where do the many rules and taboos surrounding sex and sexuality come from? How is it that a basic biological act can be so fraught with cultural, social, and moral complications?
In truth, much of our reticence in discussing and acknowledging the realities of sex comes, at least in part, from a unique time and place: medieval Europe. In the 12 episodes of Sex in the Middle Ages, Professor Jennifer McNabb and a panel of experts in medieval history and literature will take you back to the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance to explore the ideals and realities of sex and sexuality. As you'll learn, the rise of Christianity as not just a religion but a powerful political institution irrevocably influenced both the practical and moral dimensions of sex for centuries. And you may be surprised to see how much medieval views of sex continue to influence us today.
From the crowned heads of Europe to the lowliest serf, sex and its consequences affected everyone. After all, for people in the Middle Ages, sex could determine the fate of a kingdom and the state of your immortal soul. With so much on the line, is there any doubt that sex occupied the medieval mind and became a focal point of politics, literature, art, and so much more? This deep-seated preoccupation means that looking at the past through sex and sexuality opens doors into so many other dimensions of medieval life and offers a fresh new perspective on history beyond the big events and famous names we are familiar with.
From the Bible to the Bedroom
When you think of the Middle Ages, what first comes to mind? Perhaps it's the glorious cathedrals, the stunning art, or the courtly literature. Maybe you think of the political upheavals and religious transformations that so drastically shaped the era. For most of us, sex may be the last thing to come to mind when considering this period, and yet sex offers a spectacular lens through which to understand the ways medieval people thought and how they lived.
At its most basic, biological level, sex is the act necessary for procreation. There are myriad other reasons people engage in sex, but sex as the means to create life was a very popular topic of discussion in the Middle Ages. The medieval Church used the doctrine of Original Sin to transform a biological imperative into a moral one, proclaiming and enforcing the idea that sex is only permissible within marriage and to produce children.
With this in mind, Professor McNabb and her fellow experts begin their exploration of medieval notions of sex with a look at the Biblical narrative that set these rules in motion: the story of Adam and Eve. From this theological starting point, you'll see how sex and religion became so thoroughly intertwined throughout the Middle Ages, and beyond. But you'll also approach this perspective on history from a more practical vantage point as well, with a look at
Medical theories-some often quite inaccurate-involving sex, fertility, and desire;
Legal issues of sex and marriage in medieval society;
Harsh realities of single motherhood, sexual violence, and sex work;
Effects of class and gender on sexual behavior and expectations;
Politics of sex;
Ramifications of breaking sexual taboos; and more.
Since procreation was at the heart of medieval rules about sex, in the eyes of the Church, there was only one right way to have sex. That means there were a lot of "wrong" ways to indulge in sexual pleasure. With so many prohibitions and taboos, you'll find that many people were often breaking the rules; and yet, as you'll also discover, the severity of the punishments could vary greatly depending on who was breaking the rules and who was enforcing them.
Sex in Life and Literature
The Church's official positions on sex and sexuality may have been clear, but that doesn't mean there wasn't confusion and debate, even within the ranks of the clergy itself. Many scholars and theologians wrote about sex and sexuality, discussing the finer points of how consent, relationships, and sex "should" work, leaving us a rich trove of information regarding the everyday reality of medieval sexuality. And since the Church was the foremost authority on sex from a spiritual perspective, it also became the source of advice for those who struggled with various sexual and marital issues in ordinary life.
As Professor McNabb and our panel of experts reveal, many clergy and clerical lawyers became the medieval version of "sexperts," offering advice and guidance-although many of them took vows of lifetime celibacy. As the clergy were literate while most of the population was not, much of our information about medieval sex comes from the people who weren't supposed to be having it.
Documents from the clergy and church officials are certainly not the only sources that can illuminate the sexual customs and beliefs of the Middle Ages. The erotic and courtly literature of the time may not give us facts, but as your experts highlight, these works can give fascinating insights into the anxieties, desires, and questions that captivated medieval audiences. While medieval literature is known for its courtly tales of chivalry and romance, a much more risqu? form of storytelling existed that defied the rigid and repressed image many of us have of the Middle Ages.
A New View of the Middle Ages
While it may seem that the rules for sex and marriage were clear throughout the centuries during the Middle Ages, the truth is that the rules were regularly challenged and debated. The complexity of human relationships and the evolution of Christian thinking, theology, and law meant that marriage was never fixed and unchanging. As in all times throughout history, a considerable gap existed between ideals and reality. It is in these gaps that we often find the most fascinating and illuminating parts of the past.
While sexual relationships-like all relationships-have likely been complicated since the earliest days of human culture, many of our long-held ideas about the moral and social dimensions of sex can be traced back to the Middle Ages. The medieval drive to govern and regulate human sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual behavior-even as constant pushback against the rules-has cast a long cultural shadow.
As Sex in the Middle Ages so thoroughly illuminates, although medieval people lived markedly different lives than we do, we share the common bonds of humanity, including sex and the societal complications that come with it.
What Will You Learn?

Look at medieval literature, the idea of courtly love, and the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, who glorified sex

Life is stressful. There's just no getting around it. But while everyday stressors are a fact of life, that doesn't mean they have to control you. Rather, with the right scientific understanding, you can actually make stress work for you instead of against you.
Note: Lecture 2 and 10 don't have 720 resolution in original site
According to fitness and wellness consultant Dr. Kimberlee Bethany Bonura, trying to live a completely stress-free life is a zero-sum game. Life without stress is an apathetic life in which nothing matters. The true goal of your relationship with stress is to figure out how to manage it effectively; how to use it to build and support a meaningful, resilient life.
Recent years have seen a wealth of new insights into the science of stress and its effects on our physiological and psychological health. These insights, the product of fascinating research and studies, are more than simply interesting to learn about. They're vital, powerful tools you can use to transform how you think about (and react to) stress, whether everyday stressors like traffic jams or unexpected traumas like a death in the family.
The bottom line, according to Dr. Bonura: "You can still find joy in this moment, in this chaos, in this life, by learning to be your own ultimate master of stress."
With the 18 enriching and inspiring lectures of How to Make Stress Work for You, Dr. Bonura shows you how to manage and minimize the stress in your life. You'll learn how to identify the types of stress you're most vulnerable to, what your current stress responses are, ways to manage your response to stress (including key behavior modifications and mental exercises), and a plethora of other relevant, practical, and even essential information on integrating stress into a healthy lifestyle. Rooted in scientific findings from experiments, research papers, case studies, and first-hand experiences from Dr. Bonura's life and career, this course offers you nothing less than a bold new way of facing (and appreciating) daily life.
EXPLORE THE NUANCES OF HOW STRESS WORKS
Think of stress management as a toll road, with an initial cost to get on but with long-term savings. The strategies and techniques required to master the stress in your life take some initial work to learn-and ongoing practice to hone and strengthen. But the investment, in the long run, will end up saving you time, energy, money, and preserve your mental health.
Designed to be your helpful companion in this process, How to Make Stress Work for You elucidates the realities of stress: how it works, why it affects us the way it does, and the importance of managing it.
Throughout these lectures, you'll explore the nuances of stress in ways you may never have considered.
Types of stress: One important thing to understand about stress is that different stressors have different positions on what Dr. Bonura calls your personal "stress continuum." There are traumas (for example, major illness) which are deeply stressful and often outside your control; moderate stressors (like work deadlines) that are more contained and manageable; and activities of daily living (such as laundry or getting dinner on the table) that can be stressful depending on your personality.
A matter of perception: New approaches to stress management take into account the fact that you never directly experience any stimuli. Instead, what you're experiencing is the brain's interpretation of raw input (sights, sounds) using memory, analysis, and reasoning. That's why one important step in stress management is understanding that what you're responding to in life are your perceptions-not the stimuli itself.
Busting emotional myths: Throughout these lectures, Dr. Bonura busts common misperceptions about our emotions and their relationship to stress. It turns out, for example, that the continued pursuit of happiness is, in and of itself, stressful. And if you think expressing your rage through punching a pillow is helpful, think again; it could actually be making you angrier.
The power of meditation: Meditation can dramatically improve your relationship with the stress in your life. You may have already practiced this essential skill without having gone to a meditation class. How can that be? At its core, meditation is the skill of keeping your mind and your awareness in the present moment.
BUILD A STRESS MANAGEMENT TOOLKIT
Each of us responds to stress in our own way. That's why Dr. Bonura fills How to Make Stress Work for You with scientifically-backed techniques, behavior modifications, and simple exercises you can use to build a personalized toolkit for managing your stress response. You will explore tools like
Detachment: Research shows that by detaching yourself from certain provocations and taking a "fly-on-the-wall" perspective you may more effectively let go of stressful emotions like anger.
Affection: At the University of Notre Dame, researchers found that adults who received more hugs in childhood had less anxiety as adults.
Rumination: If you ruminate right after a traumatic moment, you may better process the event neurologically and avoid getting stuck in that neural path in the future.
Creativity: Outlets like art therapy offer a unique opportunity for healing and restoration through the creative process.
BE YOUR OWN STRESS CHAMPION
With the insights of a health expert and the compassion of a helpful friend, Dr. Bonura makes How to Make Stress Work for You a supportive outlet to turn to whenever you're feeling overwhelmed by stress. A realist, her goal is not to cure you of harmful stress but to put you in better control of it.
"Fundamentally, we're not looking for stress-free lives or stress freedom" she says. "We just want to feel like the stress that we experience leads to something we truly care about. That is when we are champions of our own stress."
Warm and encouraging, her experience giving one-on-one help to individuals gives these lectures the feel of a private, personal conversation. Dr. Bonura walks you step-by-step through the course's cognitive exercises, demonstrating just how easy it is to finally take charge of your stress.

What's the sure road to success in calculus? The answer is simple: Precalculus. Traditionally studied after Algebra II, this mathematical field covers advanced algebra, trigonometry, exponents, logarithms, and much more
What's the sure road to success in calculus? The answer is simple: Precalculus. Traditionally studied after Algebra II, this mathematical field covers advanced algebra, trigonometry, exponents, logarithms, and much more. These interrelated topics are essential for solving calculus problems, and by themselves are powerful methods for describing the real world, permeating all areas of science and every branch of mathematics. Little wonder, then, that precalculus is a core course in high schools throughout the country and an important review subject in college.
Unfortunately, many students struggle in precalculus because they fail to see the links between different topics-between one approach to finding an answer and a startlingly different, often miraculously simpler, technique. As a result, they lose out on the enjoyment and fascination of mastering an amazingly useful tool box of problem-solving strategies.
And even if you're not planning to take calculus, understanding the fundamentals of precalculus can give you a versatile set of skills that can be applied to a wide range of fields-from computer science and engineering to business and health care.
Mathematics Describing the Real World: Precalculus and Trigonometry
is your unrivaled introduction to this crucial subject, taught by award-winning Professor Bruce Edwards of the University of Florida. Professor Edwards is coauthor of one of the most widely used textbooks on precalculus and an expert in getting students over the trouble spots of this challenging phase of their mathematics education.
"Calculus is difficult because of the precalculus skills needed for success," Professor Edwards points out, adding, "In my many years of teaching, I have found that success in calculus is assured if students have a strong background in precalculus."
A Math Milestone Made Clear
In 36 intensively illustrated half-hour lectures, supplemented by a workbook with additional explanations and problems, Mathematics Describing the Real World takes you through all the major topics of a typical precalculus course taught in high school or college. Those who will especially benefit from Professor Edwards's lucid and engaging approach include
high school and college students currently enrolled in precalculus who feel overwhelmed and want coaching from an inspiring teacher who knows where students stumble;
parents of students, who may feel out of their depth with the advanced concepts taught in precalculus;
those who have finished Algebra II and are eager to get a head start on the next milestone on the road to calculus;
beginning calculus students who want to review and hone their skills in crucial precalculus topics;
anyone motivated to learn precalculus on his or her own, whether as a home-schooled pupil or as an adult preparing for a new career.
The Powerful Tools of Precalculus
With precalculus, you start to see all of mathematics as a unified whole-as a group of often radically different techniques for representing data, analyzing problems, and finding solutions. And you discover that these techniques are ultimately connected in a beautiful way. Perceiving these connections helps you choose the best tool for a given problem
Algebraic functions: Including polynomial functions and rational functions, these equations relate the input value of a variable to a single output value, corresponding to countless everyday situations in which one event depends on another.
Trigonometry: Originally dealing with the measurement of triangles, this subject has been vastly enriched by the concept of the trigonometric function, which models many types of cyclical processes, such as waves, orbits, and vibrations.
Exponential and logarithmic functions: Often involving the natural base, e, these functions are built on terms with exponents and their inverse, logarithms, and describe phenomena such as population growth and the magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter scale.
Complex numbers: Seemingly logic-defying, complex numbers are based on the square root of -1, designated by the symbol i. They are essential for solving many technical problems and are the basis for the beautiful patterns in fractal geometry.
Vectors: Quantities like velocity have both magnitude and direction. Vectors allow the direction component to be specified in a form that allows addition, multiplication, and other operations that are crucial in fields such as physics.
Matrices: A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers with special rules that permit two matrices to be added or multiplied. Practically any situation where data are collected in columns and rows can be treated mathematically as a matrix.
In addition, Professor Edwards devotes two lectures to conic sections, slicing a cone mathematically into circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. You also learn when it's useful to switch from Cartesian to polar coordinates; how infinite sequences and series lead to the concept of the limit in calculus; and two approaches to counting questions: permutations and combinations. You close with an introduction to probability and a final lecture that features an actual calculus problem, which your experience in precalculus makes ... elementary!
Real-World Mathematics
Believing that students learn mathematics most effectively when they see it in the context of the world around them, Professor Edwards uses scores of interesting problems that are fun, engaging, and often relevant to real life. Among the many applications of precalculus that you'll encounter are these
Public health: A student with a new strain of flu arrives at college. How long before every susceptible person is infected? An exponential function called the logistic growth model shows how quickly an epidemic spreads.
Surveying: Suppose you have to measure the diagonal width of a marsh without getting wet. It's a simple matter of walking two sides of a triangle on dry land and then using trigonometry to determine the length of the third side that spans the marsh.
Astronomy: One of the most famous cases involving the sine and cosine functions that model periodic phenomena occurred in 1967, when astronomer Jocelyn Bell detected a radio signal from space at 1.3373-second intervals. It proved to be the first pulsar ever observed.
Acoustics: The special properties of an ellipse explain why a person standing at a given spot in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall can hear a whisper from someone standing 85 feet away.
Computer graphics: How do you make an object appear to rotate on a computer screen? Matrix algebra allows you to move each pixel in an image by a specified angle by multiplying two matrices together.
Probability: Have you ever forgotten your four-digit ATM PIN number? What is the probability that you can guess it? A simple calculation shows that you would have to punch numbers nonstop for many hours before being assured of success.
An Adventure in Mathematical Learning
A three-time Teacher of the Year in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Florida, Professor Edwards has a time-tested approach to making difficult material accessible. In Mathematics Describing the Real World, he enlivens his lectures with study tips and a feature he calls "You Be the Teacher," in which he puts you in the professor's shoes by asking how you would design a particular test problem or answer one of the frequently asked questions he gets in the classroom. For example, are all exponential functions increasing? After you hear Professor Edwards's explanation, you'll know that when someone uses the term "exponentially," you should ask, "Do you mean exponential growth or decay?"-for it can go in either direction. He also gives valuable tips on using graphing calculators, pointing out their amazing capabilities-and pitfalls.
What Will You Learn?
Get introduced (or reintroduced) to inverse, rational, exponential, and polynomial functions.
Delve into the laws of sine and cosine.
Dig into the rudimentary world of probability to determine your odds at winning the lottery.

TTC - 10 Great What-Ifs of American History
Released 4/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 10 Lessons ( 4h 14m ) | Size: 3.54 GB
History may appear logical and even inevitable: Things happened because they had to. But when you go back to examine the great turning points of the past, you quickly discover how choices, chances, and accidents played a huge rule in making the world we know today. Politicians, writers, explorers, and ordinary people all make choices that shape history. But examining the moments that define our history raises an important question: What if things had gone differently?
Historians have a term for this type of speculation. A "counterfactual" history imagines a different person, a different decision, different luck in a critical moment-and the way a small change could have transformed history as we know it. What if Christopher Columbus never got the money to sail in 1492? What if the Union lost the Battle of Gettysburg? Or President John F. Kennedy escaped assassination?
10 Great What-Ifs of American History offers you the chance to ponder some of the most captivating counterfactuals in the story of our nation. Over 10 eye-opening lectures, Professor Adam Jortner of Auburn University walks you through some of the most astonishing chance events in American history, from the signing of the Constitution to the moon landing. Joining him are six experts, hand-selected for their depth of knowledge in particular aspects of US history. Together, Professor Jortner and his colleagues take you through a mind-bending exploration of the history that could have been. Captivating storytellers and imaginative thinkers, these experts ask how much of history is shaped by split-second decisions, near misses, and sheer dumb luck.
By reflecting on what didn't happen, 10 Great What-Ifs of American History gives you new insights on what did happen-and the impact on our world today.
Imagine What Could Have Been
As you'll learn, a well-constructed counterfactual is about more than flipping a switch or taking a guess. Historians look for moments of "contingency"-times when something unlikely happened or when events turned on a moment that could have gone either way. What happens when you take away favorable weather conditions or delay an event by 15 minutes?
The most famous battle in the American Civil War provides your first excellent counterfactual. Most history enthusiasts understand the Battle of Gettysburg as a turning point in the war, but relatively few people have considered the role of Little Round Top, an unfortified area of high ground the Confederates hoped would allow them to bombard the Union troops.
The Confederates were on their way to this perch when, by chance, a Union army engineer arrived to check a signal station, saw the rebel troops, and alerted the Union forces. What if this engineer had arrived 15 minutes later? Could the Confederates have won the battle? And if so, would the morale boost have enabled them to negotiate an end to the war?
Although we cannot know for certain, Professor Jortner and his colleagues present a plausible scenario for Confederate victory that would have created a world unrecognizable to us today. The United States, emancipation, and even all of world history hinged on one person's looking a certain direction, from a certain vantage, at a certain moment.
Throughout these lectures, you'll dig into many such moments of contingency. What if a bullet had missed? What if a scientist had not died in surgery? What if a few electorates had changed their votes? While history may feel inevitable, it's jaw-dropping to see how our story is constantly hanging by a thread-and it reminds us how important our own choices and decisions are, even today.
Understanding Our World Today
Reflecting on what could have happened is more than a neat thought experiment. While it's fascinating to consider the threads on which history hangs, pulling on these threads helps us better understand the world as it is.
For example, the US Constitution was only ratified due to a few political tricks and a small handful of persuadable voters. In the wake of the Revolutionary War, the 13 colonies had just unseated a centralized power, so many were wary of establishing a new central government. The Constitution's passage may have depended on how one man scheduled the ratification convention in New Hampshire! Professor Jortner and his colleagues dig into the debates, compromises-and a few shenanigans-that would become the hallmark of the American experiment.
In an age of digital media and constant news, it can sometimes feel like individuals don't make a difference in the world. These counterfactuals explain that individual decisions and timely responses to problems can change the world-sometimes quite profoundly. Learning about how small things can lead to big outcomes can help us rethink our own debates and issues as we struggle with the modern world.
10 Great What-Ifs of American History shows that history doesn't exist in a vacuum. Working to gain a better sense of how historical figures imagined their worlds-and their futures-reveals that history is a poem, not a flow chart. Much of what seems inevitable now didn't seem that way at the time. The what-ifs of this course underscore how incredible history really is.
What Will You Learn?
Survey the pivotal moments of American history to learn what happened-and why they mattered
Gain new insight on the Constitution, the Civil War, World War II and other historical turning points
See how one small change of circumstances could have reshaped world history
Reflect on the role of chance in creating a dynamic history even today

Whether you're buying a home, saving for retirement, running a business, or just plain speculating, it's important to understand financial markets
Whether you're buying a home, saving for retirement, running a business, or just plain speculating, it's important to understand financial markets. These are the engines of commerce in today's world, powering economic activity and steering the flow of capital. If you want to accumulate some of that capital for yourself, there is no better preparation than plunging into the details of
The Property Market: Given the volatility of real estate, investing in property makes sense if it meets your housing goals and you have a long-term investment horizon. For generating income, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) might be a better choice than outright owning property.
The Stock Market: Stocks offer liquidity, diversity, potentially high returns, and accessibility thanks to the many online trading platforms available today. The major question is whether you want to be an active investor picking your own stocks or a passive investor in mutual funds or index funds.
The Bond Market: The classic "safe" investment, bonds offer stable returns, lower risk compared to stocks, and predictable income through regular interest payments. However, the bond market can underperform and behave erratically in response to changes in the government's monetary policy.
In addition to these markets, there are the futures, options, and private equity markets, as well as emerging sectors such as virtual assets, intangibles, and ethical investments. In Understanding the World of Financial Markets, presented by award-winning instructor Dr. Connel Fullenkamp, Professor of the Practice of Economics at Duke University, all of these market types are explained in 12 crystal-clear lectures on the ins and outs of investing.
In this course, Professor Fullenkamp surveys the big picture, analyzing the underlying mechanics that drive markets, while providing insights into why they behave the way they do. He gets to the bottom of mystifying topics such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs (non-fungible tokens), tells how to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of a company, and gives you a handle on those irrational drivers of markets: greed and fear. You will come away as a more-informed investor, prepared to take advantage of opportunities that fit your goals, resources, and risk tolerance.
Get the Lowdown
Understanding the World of Financial Markets is filled with tips to help you get your bearings in different markets and to keep your mistakes to a minimum. These recommendations include
Do Your Research: This is Professor Fullenkamp's number-one rule. Understanding markets takes more than just reading hot stock tips or getting suggestions from an app. You should comprehend the deeper dynamics that move markets and drive investors. Since market trends are constantly changing, it's vital to stay up-to-date.
What Kind of Trade Is It? Following economist Riccardo Rebonato, Professor Fullenkamp contends that trades in all markets come in three basic types. They are either like selling lottery tickets, buying insurance, or rolling dice. Respective examples include stocks, futures contracts, and options purchases.
Resist FOMO: Also known as the bandwagon effect, "Fear of Missing Out" leads investors to act too soon without asking enough questions. Classic cases include speculative bubbles, "short squeezes," cryptocurrencies, and any stock that's on fire. Professor Fullenkamp proposes an antidote, FOBAI: "Fear of Being an Idiot."
A few of the markets that you will learn about are not for general investors, but, in fact, they govern how other markets work. For instance, intangible assets are some of the most valuable property that is owned by companies, but you can't buy shares in them. Instead, you should bear them in mind when deciding whether to invest in a firm. Intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property, along with brand names, logos, reputation, and comparable non-physical assets.
Think like a CEO
With experience studying financial markets for the better part of four decades, Professor Fullenkamp knows how to evaluate investor behavior and new financial products. Among his many insights, you will learn
Taking Advantage of Fear: Fear among investors translates into volatility in stock prices. Expectations about this volatility are measured by the VIX index; the higher the index, the more volatile or fearful the market. On the principle of going against the herd, Professor Fullenkamp counsels, "When the VIX is high, it's time to buy."
Digital Assets: Railroads are a good analogy for the hype surrounding digital assets. In the 1840s, it was clear that railroads would revolutionize transportation, but it took decades until the industry stabilized. Cryptocurrency and other virtual holdings are in a similar boat. It would be wise to let the market settle down before jumping in.
Principle-Driven Investing: ESGs (environmental, social, and governance funds) face a number of criticisms that have nothing to do with their laudatory goals. As with digital assets, there are standardization and regulatory issues yet to be worked out. As with any investment, it's best to research the product before you buy.
Professor Fullenkamp also tackles the controversial matter of executive salaries. Are CEOs worth their multi-million-dollar compensation packages? If they are truly visionary leaders, then, yes, since they can literally add billions to the bottom line. Consequently, leadership is an important consideration in evaluating a prospective stock purchase. Furthermore, thinking like a CEO is an indispensable exercise for any investor. After all, as Professor Fullenkamp points out, "I'm the CEO of my portfolio, and I have to answer to the most important set of shareholders-my family!"
