Book Review. A book review is a critical analysis of the book. A book report is an explanation of the book. Students in academia perform reviews, not reports. This assignment is patterned after the book reviews that historians draft for professional journals such as the Journal of American History and the American Historical Review. One of the goals is to introduce a new topic, a different interpretation, or to allow you to examine more deeply a topic of your choice. Another goal of this assignment is to develop your critical thinking and analytical means because unlike a book report that merely discusses the book in a linear narrative manner, a book review is a critical examination of the author’s thesis, use of evidence, and conclusion. It will be at least five double-spaced pages in length. Again, do not do the minimum and expect a superior grade. Use the monograph you began reading on day one from the short list of assigned books found here in the syllabus.

Grade: Your grade for this assignment will be based on form and content to include grammar, spelling, analysis, and critical thinking. It must conform to the minimum length requirements or else you will receive a less-than-passing grade for this assignment. You will upload your review as a Word formatted file. Any other format will result in you receiving a zero for this assignment.

I. Heading. At the top of the first page only you need to place the proper citation. Please follow this model precisely:

Title of Book. By Author (Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication). Page numbers. Reviewed by Your Name, Date of Review.

Example:
Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era. By Elaine Tyler May (New York: Basic Books, 1988). vii + 284 pp. Reviewed by J. Ross-Nazzal, May 6, 2009.

II. Body. The review itself is a critical examination of the author’s theses, evidence, and analysis.
A. One (1) to Two (2) Paragraph Introduction
1. Tell the reader about the author
2. Why is the author interested in the subject?
3. Why did the author write the book?
B. Two (2) to Four (4) Pages on the subject
1. What is/are the author’s thesis/theses?
2. What evidence does the author use?
3. Is the author’s argument(s) effective? Defend your answer.
C. Two (2) to Three (3) Paragraphs on what worked or did not work for you
1. What was interesting?
2. What did not work for you? Defend your answer.
D. One (1) Paragraph Conclusion

III. Other Stuff

A. Citations – please cite work by placing a parenthetical page number before the punctuation. For example, according to the author “this book is great” (4).
B. Bibliography – there is neither a bibliography nor a “works cited” page on a formal book review.
C. Cover page – there is no cover page on a formal book review. The heading of a book review takes the place of any cover sheet.

General Mills, founded in 1866 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an American multinational manufacturer and marketer of branded consumer foods sold through retail stores. The mission of General Mills, according to their Global Responsibility Report, is to “nourish lives—making lives healthier, easier, and richer” (General Mills: Global Responsibility, 2015). Unlike many of its competitors, General Mills utilizes a value statement as opposed to a vision statement that reads, “We reinforce our values everyday through our people, our brands, our innovation and our performance” (General Mills: Global Responsibility, 2015). This value statement proves why General Mills is such a contender in the consumer foods industry. They incorporate values adapted by their consumers and integrate those same values within their own organization.

According to Investopedia, a stakeholder is, “a party that has an interest in an enterprise or project” (Stakeholder Definition | Investopedia, 2003). As an international, publicly owned company, I feel that General Mills has a responsibility to its stakeholders. Their stakeholders include employees, consumers, customers, suppliers, industry, investors, nongovernmental organizations, local communities, regulators and public policy makers. It’s essential to any organization’s success to actively communicate and engage with stakeholders by any means necessary. As per the Global Responsibility Report, General Mills engages with its stakeholders through several channels. Some of those channels include customer surveys, industry partnerships, call centers, focus groups, social media, discussion forums, participation in coalitions, donations to local organizations, employee volunteers, supplier audits, supplier surveys, and employee action groups (General Mills: Global Responsibility, 2015). General Mills strives to advance the goals of its stakeholders while simultaneously progressing on their own ocial and environmental initiatives. For example, in 2014, they joined the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX) in order to show their commitment to “driving improvements in responsible and ethical business practices” across their supply chain (General Mills: Global Responsibility, 2015).

Calculate and plot the monthly-averaged precipitation – describe and explain the variation in precipitation.

• Calculate and plot the averaged monthly precipitation for July-August-September for each year on one set of axes – y-axis is precipitation, x-axis is time in years. Briefly describe the variation in precipitation shown on this plot.

• Calculate and plot the monthly anomalies of precipitation for July-August-September. Briefly describe the variation in precipitation shown on this plot.Note the years that are El Nino/La Nina in the 20th Century

• Plot the averaged monthly sea surface temperature anomalies for July-August-September for each year on one set of axes. Describe the variation in SST shown on this plot. Note the years that are El Nino/La Nina in the 20th Century.

• Give a detailed comparison of the extremes (very large, positive; very large negative) of monthly (JAS) precipitation anomalies with those of the ENSO index (SST plot from above). Plotting both the anomalies of precipitation and SST on the same set of axes can make your comparison easier to do. **1 page double spaced for the comparison

This week you watched the video segment, “Microagressions.” As you think about what you learned from this segment consider the following questions posed in Chapter 2 of your course text:

When have I felt that I was the target of discrimination?
What was the reason for it (e.g., race, gender, occupation, size, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age)?

Who had the power? What was the source of that power?

Did I feel disempowered? If so, why?

How did I react? Feel? What did I do? Wish that I had done?

What kind of support would have been helpful in this situation?

Whether you have or have not been the target of discrimination, consider how this video and your reading this week increased your understanding of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination.

Two important policy goals of the government and the Fed are to keep unemployment and inflation low, while at the same time making sure that GDP is increasing at an average of 3% per year. It is important to have the right mix of policies and that all the variables be timed perfectly.

Part 1: Assume that the country is in a period of high unemployment, interest rates are at almost zero, inflation is about 2% per year, and GDP growth is less than 2% per year.

Suggest how fiscal and monetary policy can move those numbers to an acceptable level keeping inflation the same.
What is the first action you would take as the president? As the chairman of the Fed? Why?
What would be your subsequent steps?
Make sure you include both the positive and negative effects of your actions, and include the trade-offs or opportunity costs.

Include the following concepts in your discussion:

Demand and supply of money
Interest rates
The Phillips curve
Taxation
Government spending
Wages
Costs of inflation
The multiplier and the tax multiplier
The idea of tax rebates to stimulate the economy

Part 2: Assume that the country is in a budget deficit and carrying a very large debt. Discuss the dangers of a high debt to GDP ratio and a growing budget deficit. Would this affect any policy changes you discussed in Part 1?
