Download or read book The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus written by Troy Tassier and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we make society more resilient to outbreaks and avoid forcing the poor and working class to bear the brunt of their harm? When an epidemic outbreak occurs, the most physical and financial harm historically falls upon the people who can least afford it: the economically and socially marginalized. Where people live and work, how they commute and socialize, and more have a huge impact on the risks we bear during an outbreak. In The Rich Flee and the Poor Take the Bus, economist Troy Tassier examines examples ranging from the 430 BCE plague of Athens to the COVID-19 pandemic to demonstrate why marginalized groups bear the largest burden of epidemic costs—and how to avoid these systemic failures in the future. The links between epidemics and social issues—such as inequality, discrimination, and financial insecurity—are not always direct or clear. Tassier reveals truths hidden in plain sight, from the way population density statistics can be misleading to the often-misunderstood differences between risk and uncertainty. The disproportionate harm experienced by marginalized individuals is not the product of their own decisions; instead, the collective choices of society and the tangled web of interactions across people and communities leave these groups most exposed to the perils of epidemics. However, there is reason to hope. Utilizing a wealth of economic and population data, Tassier argues that we can leverage lessons learned from historic and recent outbreaks to design better economic and social policies and more just institutions to protect everyone in society when inevitable future epidemics arrive.

Download or read book Dual Justice written by Anthony Grasso and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A far-reaching examination of how America came to treat street and corporate crime so differently. While America incarcerates its most marginalized citizens at an unparalleled rate, the nation has never developed the capacity to consistently prosecute corporate wrongdoing. Dual Justice unearths the intertwined histories of these two phenomena and reveals that they constitute more than just modern hypocrisy. By examining the carceral and regulatory states’ evolutions from 1870 through today, Anthony Grasso shows that America’s divergent approaches to street and corporate crime share common, self-reinforcing origins. During the Progressive Era, scholars and lawmakers championed naturalized theories of human difference to justify instituting punitive measures for poor offenders and regulatory controls for corporate lawbreakers. These ideas laid the foundation for dual justice systems: criminal justice institutions harshly governing street crime and regulatory institutions governing corporate misconduct. Since then, criminal justice and regulatory institutions have developed in tandem to reinforce politically constructed understandings about who counts as a criminal. Grasso analyzes the intellectual history, policy debates, and state and federal institutional reforms that consolidated these ideas, along with their racial and class biases, into America’s legal system.

Download or read book Veejack written by Robert F. Stamps and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents – the godless anti-Bible Veejack religion is using the public schools and government funding to train our children, family, and friends to reject our Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. For the past forty years Judeo-Christians have endured relentless assaults by news reporters, talk shows, politicians, academics and educators, media influencers, and performing artists. The assault targets Judeo-Christian faiths by focusing on the negative, inflammatory, and predatory behaviors and activities of a minority of individuals in leadership positions. These incidents are widely circulated by the anti-Judeo-Christian forces in attempts to demean the faiths and influence people to believe the whole Judeo-Christian model is corrupt and should be abolished. Realization that there is an external force targeting and tarnishing the Judeo-Christian faiths fosters a secondary realization. The external force attempting to destroy Judeo-Christian faiths is actually a nontheistic, often hedonistic and self-destructive competing religion that dares not publicly announce its existence. The media purposely ignores the significantly beneficial Judeo-Christian activities that occur every day across the United States. Judeo-Christian activities such as molding moral behavior in youths; educating oppressed and impoverished people; providing free food, shelter, and health care to the indigent; providing counseling; visiting the sick, infirm and elderly and those in hospice care; assisting addicts to regain their freedom by helping them to eliminate dependence on addictive substances; and calming gang violence. These, and a host of other unheralded and unreported positive Judeo-Christian activities are ignored by the propagandists of the new religion. The new religion and its media influencers portray the Judeo-Christian faiths in the worst light possible. The new religion’s politicians legislate its religious beliefs into law. The new religion’s clerics, functioning as journalists, or researchers, or academics, or broadcast personalities paint a slanted, negative, one-sided portrait of Judeo-Christian faiths and praise the tenets of the new religion.

Download or read book Green AI Powered Intelligent Systems for Disease Prognosis written by Khanna, Ashish and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-08-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts in Medicine are under new pressures of advancing their studies while also reducing the impact they leave on the environment. Researchers within the fields of bio-neuro informatics, healthcare, engineering, and medical sciences require a dynamic platform that bridges the realms of academia, science, industry, and innovation. Green AI-Powered Intelligent Systems for Disease Prognosis facilitates a crossroads for a diverse audience interested in these two seldom coalesced concepts. Academicians, scientists, researchers, professionals, decision-makers, and even aspiring scholars all find a space to contribute, collaborate, and learn within the platform that this book provides. The book's thematic coverage is unequivocally compelling; by exploring the intersections of bio-neuro informatics, healthcare, engineering, and medical sciences, it captures the spirit of interdisciplinary research. It delves into well-established domains while also casting a spotlight on emerging trends that have the potential to reshape our understanding of these fields. Two prominent tracks form the backbone of the book's content. The first covers the Bioinformatics and Data Mining of Biological Data (BiDMBD), and unravels the intricacies of biomedical computation, signal analysis, clinical decision support, and health data mining. This approach holds a treasure trove of insights into the mechanisms of health data acquisition, clinical informatics, and the representation of healthcare knowledge. The second covers Biomedical Informatics and is a symposium of computational modeling, genomics, and proteomics. Here, the fusion of data science with medical sciences takes center stage.
Download or read book Indicting the 45th President written by Gregg Barak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indicting the 45th President is a sequel to Criminology on Trump in real time, continuing the criminological investigation into the former US president. Developing and expanding on the themes of family dynamics, deviance, deception, dishonesty, and the weaponization of the law, this book offers the next chapter on the world’s most successful outlaw. In this new book, Gregg Barak considers the campaigns and policies, the corruption, the state- organized abuses of power and obstructions of justice, the pardons, the failed insurrection, the prosecutions, the indictment of Trump and the politics of punishment as these revolve around the Trumpian character and social structures that encourage such crimes of the powerful. Barak also thoroughly addresses the threat to American Democracy, critiques the current state of the U.S. constitutional system, and proposes reforms to enhance justice for all in the United States. Another accessible and compelling read, this is essential reading for all those engaged with state and white- collar crime in the context of power and privilege, and those seeking a criminological understanding of Trump’s evasion of law and justice.

Download or read book International Parental Child Abduction and the Law written by Geraldine Carney and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan has faced widespread scrutiny for failing to properly address international parental child abduction involving its citizens. This book examines how and why Japan has come to have this tarnished image, its response, and how it might manage these disputes in the future. In particular, the book explores how Japan engages with international legal frameworks to manage international parental child abduction and what this means, in reality, for Japanese people and others who come under its wide umbrella. A focus of this examination is how the key international treaty, the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, has fared since being introduced in Japan in 2014. Case studies of parental child abduction involving Japan are used throughout to illustrate the legal and social concepts discussed in the book. The struggles of both abducting and left-behind parents across fluid international borders reveal seismic social and philosophical shifts in Japan that continue to shape its legal landscape. This book will be a useful resource for students of Japanese Studies, Sociolegal Studies, Comparative Law and International Law.

This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cowardice in the military to unchecked government overreach, Stolen Valor exposes the shocking truth behind Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s carefully crafted public image and his ongoing efforts to introduce Marxism to America. In this hard-hitting investigation, authors Josh Manning and Erin Brownback unravel the lies and misrepresentations that have propped up Walz’s political career.

But the deceit doesn’t end there. The book dives into Walz’s political career, from his radical pro-abortion agenda to his dangerous COVID lockdowns and his failure to protect Minnesotans during the 2020 riots. This is more than a biography; it’s a call to action against the creeping influence of socialism and Marxism in American politics. Stolen Valor delivers a gripping account of betrayal, cowardice, and the dangerous consequences of unchecked political power. Tim Walz has deceived Americans—and now the truth is out. Are you ready to face it?
Download or read book This Is the Fire written by Don Lemon and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this "vital book for these times" (Kirkus Reviews), Don Lemon brings his vast audience and experience as a reporter and a Black man to today's most urgent question: How can we end racism in America in our lifetimes? The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic flaws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them. Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and reflections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.
Download or read book Romney written by McKay Coppins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In this illuminating and “scoop-rich biography…the tell-all tales rush forth” (Los Angeles Times) offering a “penetrating analysis of the ongoing Republican civil war through the eyes of one of its last embattled centrists” (Publishers Weekly). Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection. Despite these moments of public courage, Romney has shared very little about what he’s witnessed behind the scenes over his three decades in politics—in GOP cloakrooms and caucus lunches, in his private meetings with Donald Trump and his family, in his dealings with John McCain, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema. Now, Romney provides a window to his most private thoughts. Based on dozens of interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals and private emails, this in-depth portrait by award-winning journalist McKay Coppins shows a public servant authentically wrestling with the choices he has made over his career. In lively, revelatory detail, the book traces Romney’s early life and rise through the ranks of a fast-transforming Republican Party and exposes how a trail of seemingly small compromises by political leaders has led to a crisis in democracy. “A rare feat in modern-day political reporting” (The New Yorker), Romney: A Reckoning is a redemptive story about a complex politician who summoned his moral courage just as fear and divisiveness were overtaking American life.
Download or read book The Forever War written by Nick Bryant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is a must read book for all those who love America and want it to be healed.' -- Justin Webb, presenter of the BBC's Today programme and Americast 'Unflinching and insightful.' -- Lyse Doucet, the BBC's Chief International Correspondent 'A perceptive look at America's unresolved history.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'Extraordinary...it's enlarged my understanding of America.' -- Nihal Arthanayake, BBC Radio 5 Live From the author of When America Stopped Being Great, an insightful and urgent reassessment of America's past, present and future – as a country which is forever at war with itself. The Forever War tells the story of how America's extreme polarization is 250 years in the making, and argues that the roots of its modern-day malaise are to be found in its troubled and unresolved past. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the American experiment is failing. Division, mistrust and misinformation are now the country's defining characteristics. The storming of the Capitol, the prosecution of Donald Trump and battles over gun rights and abortion raise the spectre of further political violence. Nick Bryant explains how the hate, divisiveness and paranoia we see today are in fact a core part of America's story. Combining brilliant storytelling, historical research and first-hand reportage, Bryant argues that insurrections, massacres and civil disturbances should sadly not be seen as abnormalities; they are a part of the fabric of the history of America.
