The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs. the Masters of the Universe By Matt Kennard 2015 | 359 Pages | ISBN: 1780329881 | PDF | 2 MB The story Americans are wont to tell themselves about their nation is a compelling one: the United States is a force for good in the world, a haven for prosperous upward mobility, and a stalwart defender of democracy and human rights abroad. With The Racket, veteran investigative journalist Matt Kennard pulls back the curtain and reveals a much darker truth. The picture of America he paints is radically at odds with that noble image: through Kennard's eyes we see another America, one that has lashed the world to a neoliberal vision and has rewarded wealthy elites at the expense of ordinary people, genuine freedom, and the global environment. Building his case from more than 2,000 interviews with officials, intellectuals, and artists around the world, including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn, John Pilger, and Banksy, Kennard reveals how we are sold a dream and how that dream obscures the reality of the corporate state, mass incarceration, and the evisceration of human rights. A ringing polemic that's powerfully rooted in fact, The Racket is as sure to be controversial as it is to fan the flames of serious reform and revolt. Praise for Irregular Army "Kennard's careful and judicious investigations reveal an aspect of the modern US military system that should be of deep concern to American citizens-and to everyone."-Noam Chomsky "Chilling. . . . Illuminating. . . . Kennard's nonpartisan portrait of martial waywardness is foreboding."-Publishers Weekly  The Pursuit of Holiness By Jerry Bridges English | 2006 | ASIN : B01DL4ULZA | 201 Pages | EPUB | 2 MB  The Protection of Refugees in Southeast Asia: A Legal Fiction? by Sébastien Moretti English | February 18, 2022 | ISBN: 1032153660 | 272 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book offers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of refugee protection in Southeast Asia from an international law perspective. It examines both the legal and policy frameworks pertaining to the protection of refugees in the region as well as the countries' response to refugee movements from the Indochinese refugee crisis in the mid-1970s to the most recent developments. It covers important aspects of refugee protection, such as access to territory, non-refoulement, the treatment of refugees, the concept of refugees as applied in the region, burden-sharing, and durable solutions to the plight of refugees.  Pat Brown, Bob Andelman, "The Profiler: My Life Hunting Serial Killers and Psychopaths" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1401341268 | EPUB | pages: 285 | 0.3 mb In 1990, a young woman was strangled on a jogging path near the home of Pat Brown and her family. Brown suspected the young man who was renting a room in her house, and quickly uncovered strong evidence that pointed to him-but the police dismissed her as merely a housewife with an overactive imagination. It would be six years before her former boarder would be brought in for questioning, but the night Brown took action to solve the murder was the beginning of her life's work.  Bertrand Russell, "The Problems of Philosophy: Vook Classics" English | 2009 | ISBN: 142093371X, 1731703031 | EPUB | pages: 80 | 0.8 mb First written in 1912, this work of Bertrand Russell was an attempt by the author to create a guide that succinctly and comprehensibly outlined the difficulties he saw in the body of philosophical thought up to his time. In trying to do so, he concentrated on knowledge instead of metaphysics, hoping to spark discussion that was both productive and beneficial. This work also explains Russell's famous distinction between 'knowledge by acquaintance and knowledge by description', which he first posited in 1910. Finally, "The Problems of Philosophy" draws upon the important theories of famous philosophers from Plato to Hegel in order to create a foundation for philosophical inquiry, not only for scholars but for the general public as well. While Russell does not necessarily solve the problems he sets forth, his work is still quite relevant in its scope and object for philosophers today.  The Pre-Crime Society: Crime, Culture and Control in the Ultramodern Age by Bruce Arrigo and Brian Sellers English | Jul 1, 2021 | ISBN: 1529205255 | 528 pages | PDF | 10,5 MB We now live in a pre-crime society, in which information technology strategies and techniques such as predictive policing, actuarial justice and surveillance penology are used to achieve hyper-securitization. However, such securitization comes at a cost - the criminalization of everyday life is guaranteed, justice functions as an algorithmic industry and punishment is administered through dataveillance regimes. This pioneering book explores relevant theories, developing technologies and institutional practices and explains how the pre-crime society operates in the 'ultramodern' age of digital reality construction. Reviewing pre-crime's cultural and political effects, the authors propose new directions in crime control policy.  Alexander Brown, "The Politics of Hate Speech Laws" English | ISBN: 1472439147 | 2019 | 552 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book examines the complex relationship between politics and hate speech laws, domestic and international. How do political contexts shape understandings of what hate speech is and how to deal with it? Why do particular states enact hate speech laws and then apply, extend or reform them in the ways they do? What part does hate speech play in international affairs? Why do some but not all states negotiate, agree and ratify international hate speech frameworks or instruments? What are some of the best and worst political arguments for and against hate speech laws? Do political figures have special moral duties to refrain from hate speech? Should the use of hate speech by political figures be protected by parliamentary privilege? Should this sort of hyperpolitical hate speech be subject to the laws of the land, civil and criminal? Or should it instead be handled by parliamentary codes of conduct and procedures or even by political parties themselves? What should the codes of conduct look like?  The Politics of Ecology: Land, Life, and Law in Medieval Britain (Interventions: New Studies Medieval Cult) by Randy P. Schiff and Joseph Taylor English | Jan 1, 2016 | ISBN: 0814212956, 0814252230 | 302 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB If medieval literary studies is, like so many fields, currently conditioned by an ecological turn that dislodges the human from its central place in materialist analysis, then why now focus on the law? Is not the law the most human, if not indeed the human, institution? In proposing that all life in medieval Britain, whether animal or vegetable, was subject to the same legal machine that enabled claims on land, are we not ignoring the ecocritical demand that we counteract human exceptionalism and reframe the past with inhuman eyes?  Peter Joyce, "The Policing of Protest, Disorder and International Terrorism in the UK since 1945" English | 2016 | pages: 407 | ISBN: 0230542352 | PDF | 16,4 mb This book examines the nature of protest and the way in which the police and state respond to the activities associated with this term. Protest is explored within the context of the perceived decline in public engagement with recent general election contests. It is often thought that protest is regarded as an alternative to, or as a replacement for, formal political engagement with electoral politics, and this book provides a thoughtful assessment of the place of protest in the contemporary conduct of political affairs. Analysing key forms of protest such as: demonstrations, direct action, protest conducted within the workplace, riots and terrorism, this study also illustrates each of these activities with a wide range of examples of events that have taken place within the UK since 1945. It will be of keen interest to students of criminology, criminal justice studies, police studies and politics.  Richard Lowry, "The Photographer and the President: Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Gardner, and the Images that Made a Presidency" English | ISBN: 0847845419 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 14 MB A new angle on Lincoln and his legacy, exploring the rich and suggestive dialogue between art, image, and politics at the time of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was one of the most photographed figures of his century. Richard Lowry explores Lincoln's association with Alexander Gardner, the man who would create the most memorable and ultimately iconic images of the president, both in his studio and on the battlefields of the Civil War. Lowry's book is an accessible and lively narrative of this symbiotic relationship and an examination of the emerging role of the media at a moment of national transformation. Lincoln was an early adopter of photographic technology and visionary in how he used it-as FDR was with radio, JFK with television, and Obama with the internet. By highlighting this very modern aspect of such a storied presidency, Lowry opens a new door on Lincoln's relationship to politics and celebrity just as the mass culture of the image was taking root in America. |
