Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provocative, passionate and populist, RMB Manifestos are short and concise non-fiction books of literary, critical, and cultural studies. First Nations are facing some of the worst water crises in Canada and throughout North America. Their widespread lack of access to safe drinking water receives ongoing national media attention, and yet progress addressing the causes of the problem is painfully slow. First Nations have had little say in how their waters are, or are not, protected. They have been excluded from many important decisions, as provinces operate under the view that they own the water resources within provincial boundaries, and the federal government takes a hands-off approach. The demands for access to waters that First Nations depend upon are intense and growing. Oil and gas, mining, ranching, farming and hydro-development all require enormous quantities of water, and each brings its own set of negative impacts to the rivers, lakes and groundwater sources that are critical to First Nations. Climate change threatens to make matters even worse. Over the last 30 years, the courts have clarified that First Nations have numerous rights to land and resources, including the right to be involved in decision-making. This book is a call to respect the water rights of First Nations, and through this create a new water ethic in Canada and beyond.

Book Delay  Deny  Defend

Download or read book Delay Deny Defend written by Jay M. Feinman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight it Over the last two decades, insurance has become less of a safety net and more of a spider's web: sticky and complicated, designed to ensnare as much as to aid. Insurance companies now often try to delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend these actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation. Jay M. Feinman, a legal scholar and insurance expert, explains how these trends developed, how the government ought to fix the system, and what the rest of us can do to protect ourselves. He shows that the denial of valid claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, Feinman explains how people can be more cautious when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. He also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses. This exposé will help drive the discussion of this increasingly hot- button issue.

Book Denying History

  • Author : Michael Shermer
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2023-11-10
  • ISBN : 0520944097
  • Pages : 553 pages

Download or read book Denying History written by Michael Shermer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denying History takes a bold and in-depth look at those who say the Holocaust never happened and explores the motivations behind such claims. While most commentators have dismissed the Holocaust deniers as antisemitic neo-Nazi thugs who do not deserve a response, historians Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have immersed themselves in the minds and culture of these Holocaust "revisionists." In the process, they show how we can be certain that the Holocaust happened and, for that matter, how we can confirm any historical event. This edition is expanded with a new chapter and epilogue examining current, shockingly mainstream revisionism.

Book excerpt: In the heart of the Great Depression, Rancho Las Moras, like everywhere else in Texas, is gripped by the drought of the Dust Bowl, and resentment is building among white farmers against Mexican Americans. All around town, signs go up proclaiming "No Dogs or Mexicans" and "No Mexicans Allowed." When Estrella organizes a protest against the treatment of tejanos in their town of Monteseco, Texas, her whole family becomes a target of "repatriation" efforts to send Mexicans "back to Mexico" --whether they were ever Mexican citizens or not. Dumped across the border and separated from half her family, Estrella must figure out a way to survive and care for her mother and baby brother. How can she reunite with her father and grandparents and convince her country of birth that she deserves to return home? There are no easy answers in the first YA book to tackle this hidden history.

Book Denying Science

  • Author : Pascal de Caprariis
  • Publisher : AuthorHouse
  • Release : 2017-06-30
  • ISBN : 1524698067
  • Pages : 109 pages

Download or read book Denying Science written by Pascal de Caprariis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The denial of scientific knowledge has become respectable in todays society, to the point that it threatens the health of the public and the stability of our society as climatic changes due to global warming occur. So the growth of science denial goes much further than just a lack of interest in learning about the world about us. Today, some people go out of their way to try to convince legislators and the general public that scientists are not doing objective, reliable work but instead are crying wolf about imagined problems. The efforts to discredit scientific studies are funded by the fossil fuel industry and are facilitated by the existence of social media, which enable anyone to say nearly anything without being asked for evidence or for their qualifications. The topics covered in this book highlight some of the differences between reputable studies and the public relations efforts of groups that reject scientific studies in order to advance their own agendas.

Book States of Denial

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stanley Cohen
  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2013-08-29
  • ISBN : 0745656781
  • Pages : 573 pages

Download or read book States of Denial written by Stanley Cohen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blocking out, turning a blind eye, shutting off, not wanting to know, wearing blinkers, seeing what we want to see ... these are all expressions of 'denial'. Alcoholics who refuse to recognize their condition, people who brush aside suspicions of their partner's infidelity, the wife who doesn't notice that her husband is abusing their daughter - are supposedly 'in denial'. Governments deny their responsibility for atrocities, and plan them to achieve 'maximum deniability'. Truth Commissions try to overcome the suppression and denial of past horrors. Bystander nations deny their responsibility to intervene. Do these phenomena have anything in common? When we deny, are we aware of what we are doing or is this an unconscious defence mechanism to protect us from unwelcome truths? Can there be cultures of denial? How do organizations like Amnesty and Oxfam try to overcome the public's apparent indifference to distant suffering and cruelty? Is denial always so bad - or do we need positive illusions to retain our sanity? States of Denial is the first comprehensive study of both the personal and political ways in which uncomfortable realities are avoided and evaded. It ranges from clinical studies of depression, to media images of suffering, to explanations of the 'passive bystander' and 'compassion fatigue'. The book shows how organized atrocities - the Holocaust and other genocides, torture, and political massacres - are denied by perpetrators and by bystanders, those who stand by and do nothing.
