A Plague Of Prisons : The Epidemiology of Mass Incarceration in America (9781595588791)

Called a towering achievement' by Ira Glasser and 'the clearest and most intelligible case for a re-evaluation of how we view incarceration' by Spectrum Culture, A Plague of Prisons takes the same tools of public health that have tracked flu and AIDS epidemics to make the case that America's level of imprisonment has become an epidemic. Drucker passionately argues that imprisonment has become 'mass incarceration': a destabilising force, a plague upon the body politic, that undermines the communities it targets, damaging the very social structures that prevent crime.'

Born for Love : Why Empathy Is Essential--and Endangered (0061656798)

From birth, when babies' fingers instinctively cling to those of adults, their bodies and brains seek an intimate connection, a bond made possible by empathy-the ability to love and to share the feelings of others. In this provocative book, renowned child psychiatrist Bruce D. Perry and award-winning science journalist Maia Szalavitz interweave research and stories from Perry's practice with cutting-edge scientific studies and historical examples to explain how empathy develops, why it is essential for our development into healthy adults, and how it is threatened in the modern world. Perry and Szalavitz show that compassion underlies the qualities that make society work- trust, altruism, collaboration, love, charity-and how difficulties related to empathy are key factors in social problems such as war, crime, racism, and mental illness. Even physical health, from infectious diseases to heart attacks, is deeply affected by our human connections to one another. As Born for Love

Proxima (045146771X)

"Stephen Baxter has been heralded, with some merit, as Arthur C. Clarke's literary heir, and Proxima certainly reinforces this accolade in spades."--Concatenation Mankind's future in this galaxy could be all but infinite. There are hundreds of billions of red dwarf stars, lasting trillions of years--and their planets can be habitable for humans. Such is the world of Proxima Centauri. And its promise could mean the never-ending existence of humanity. But first it must be colonized, and no one wants to be a settler. There is no glamor that accompanies it, nor is there the ease of becoming a citizen of an already-tamed world. There is only hardship...loneliness...emptiness, even as war brews in the solar system. But that's where Yuri comes in. Because sometimes exploration isn't voluntary. It must be coerced. Product details Format

Sterben war ihr täglich Brot : Die Testpiloten von Rechlin (3946599303)

Spätsommer 1940, Müritzwind: Alltag auf der Erprobungsstelle in Rechlin. Surrende Motoren, Techniker, die geschäftig über die Grasbahn laufen und Flugzeuge, die abheben, um gefährliche Flugmanöver auszuprobieren. Die Aufgabe besteht darin, akribisch zu dokumentieren und auszutesten, welche Schwachstellen die verschiedenen Flugzeugtypen aufweisen, die den Piloten an der Front zum Verhängnis werden könnten. Viele der aufgestiegenen Flieger kehrten sicher zurück – dank gewissenhaft agierender Testpiloten und Ingenieure. Nicht wenige aber stürzten ab. Häufiger Grund: Die Technik war nicht ausgereift, viel zu schnell wurden in der Zeit bis 1945 neue Modelle hervorgebracht, um das sich abzeichnende Ende des Krieges doch noch zu verhindern. Dieses Buch erzählt lebhaft und spannend von starken Charakteren, dem Traum vom Fliegen, von Liebe und Glücksmomenten, aber auch von Missgunst und Spionen, nicht zu fassenden Tragödien in einer schlimmen Zeit.

Where Did The Towers Go? : Evidence of directed free-energy technology on 9/11 (0615412564)

Over a half mile of vertical building height, containing nearly 150 football fields of floor space, was reduced to a near-level field of dust and debris, where rescue workers walked horizontally or rappelled into empty caverns to look for survivors. How was this possible given the standard laws of engineering and physics? The 9/11 Commission Report bypassed this central issue, as did the report of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Contrary to its stated objective of determining \'why and how WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapsed,\' the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) made the stunning admission that it did not investigate how the towers fell. Neither the standard view that the Twin Towers collapsed from fire nor the standard opposition view that they were intentionally detonated by thermite explosives explains the evidence, nor do they follow the laws of engineering and physics. Dr. Wood left Clemson to research the 9/11 conundrum full time, and she has
