RINGSIDE SEAT: Wisconsin Politics 1970 to Scott Walker takes a look at not only at the Act 10 episode but also Cullen's upbringing, how he came into public service, the two eras he served in the State Senate, the changes that occurred between these two time periods and the observations he made from his ringside seat. .part memoir, part attempt to be a political-instruction manual, part history of nearly half a century of Wisconsin politics, part critique of politics today and part critique of the Walker governorship. This book is also an effort to tell the true story of Wisconsin values which are more important than any one person or any one governor. Ringside Seat has chapters on the nature of politics, then and now; Act 10 and the true story on the Illinois episode; how gerrymandering has severely affected democracy in Wisconsin; the manipulation of the facts on the mining issue in northern Wisconsin; and, in Scott Walker's own words, the dropping of bombs on Wisconsin such as the attack on the University of Wisconsin System including the ill-fated effort to eliminate the commitment the UW-Madison has had to the pursuit of truth since 1892, the Voter Suppression I.D. law, the refusal to grant any pardons (unlike his predecessors), leading the effort to eliminate the Government Accountability Board, orchestrating the attempt to gut Wisconsin's Open Records statute, and trying vigorously to replace Wisconsin's civil service system with a return to political patronage. The list of other bombs could go on for much longer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50478842544401,"sku":"CIN1942586108G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1942586108.jpg?v=1751187832"},{"product_id":"wisconsin-gerrymandering-book-tim-cullen-9781955656764","title":"Wisconsin Gerrymandering","description":"Applications of Machine Learning in UAV Networks presents a pioneering exploration into the symbiotic relationship between machine learning techniques and UAVs. In an age where UAVs are revolutionizing sectors as diverse as agriculture, environmental preservation, security, and disaster response, this meticulously crafted volume offers an analysis of the manifold ways machine learning drives advancements in UAV network efficiency and efficacy. This book navigates through an expansive array of domains, each demarcating a pivotal application of machine learning in UAV networks. From the precision realm of agriculture and its dynamic role in yield prediction to the ecological sensitivity of biodiversity monitoring and habitat restoration, the contours of each domain are vividly etched. These explorations are not limited to the terrestrial sphere; rather, they extend to the pivotal aerial missions of wildlife conservation, forest fire monitoring, and security enhancement, where UAVs adorned with machine learning algorithms wield an instrumental role. Scholars and practitioners from fields as diverse as machine learning, UAV technology, robotics, and IoT networks will find themselves immersed in a confluence of interdisciplinary expertise. The book's pages cater equally to professionals entrenched in agriculture, environmental studies, disaster management, and beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51059748602129,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51059751223569,"sku":"NIN9781955656764","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1955656762.jpg?v=1751283401"},{"product_id":"disassembled-book-tim-cullen-9781942586623","title":"Disassembled","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThere have been many articles and even books written on what happened after General Motors closed its plant in Janesville, Wisconsin in 2008 after some 90 years of operation.

Along the way he finds some heroes, including an early African American GM employee; a woman who insisted on gender equity in the plant; and Walter Reuther,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e the legendary labor leader.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Perhaps no one is better qualified than Tim Cullen to tell this important story.
