The Perpetual Prisoner Machine: How America Profit from

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dyer, Joel, PUBLISHER: Basic Books, In "The Perpetual Prisoner Machine," author Joel Dyer takes a critical look at the United States' criminal justice system as we enter the new millennium. America has more than tripled its prison population since even though crime rates have been either flat or declining. The U.S. now incarcerates nearly two million people in its prisons and jails on any given day and over five million of its citizens are currently under some form of justice department supervision. These facts raise an obvious question: If crime rates aren't going up, why is the prison population? "The Perpetual Prisoner Machine" provides the answer to this question and, shockingly, it has little to do with crime or justice. The answer is "profit."In the s, through their mutual and pension funds, millions of American investors are now unwittingly profiting from crime. As a result of America's controversial push towards the privatization of its justice system, a growing number of well-known and politically influential U.S. Corporations--and subsequently their shareholders--are now cashing in on a prison trade whose profit potential is tied directly to the growth of the prison population. A disturbing realization, when you consider the influence that these same multi-national companies now have over our government's policy-making process by way of their lobbyists and their ability to fill campaign coffers."The Perpetual Prisoner Machine" explains how the new prison-industrial complex has capitalized upon the public's fear of crime--which has its origins in violent media content--to help bring about the "hard on crime" policies that have led to our prison-filling, and therefore profitable, "war on crime." Inaddition to a quest for profits, Dyer describes an astounding chain of events including media consolidation and globalization, advances in communication technology, and the increasing political dependence upon public opinion polls and campaign funding that have led to the creation of what the author calls "the perpetual prisoner machine," a mechanism designed to suck the funds from social programs that diminish the crime-enhancing power of poverty and spit them into the bank accounts of those who own stock in the prison-industrial complex.Dyer concludes that powerful, market-driven forces have manipulated America into fighting a very real war against an imaginary foe. "Unfortunately," says Dyer, "real wars have real casualties. And in this case, the victims are America's poor, particularly those segments of our black and Hispanic population who live in poverty and who now comprise the vast majority of the new human commodity."

America's Ancient Forests: From the Ice Age to the Age of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bonnicksen, Thomas M. / Bonnicksen, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, At the time of European discovery, the ancient North American forests stretched across nearly half the continent. And while today little remains of this past glory, efforts are underway to bring back some of the diverse ecosystems of that era. America's Ancient Forests: From the Ice Age to the Age of Discovery provides scientists and professionals with essential information for forest restoration and conservation projects, while presenting a compelling and far-reaching account of how the North American landscape has evolved over the past years. The book weaves historical accounts and scientific knowledge into a dynamic narrative about the ancient forests and the events that shaped them. Divided into two major parts, it covers first the glaciers and forests of the Ice Age and the influences of native peoples, and then provides an in-depth look at these majestic forests through the eyes of the first European explorers. Changes in climate and elevation, the movement of trees northward, the assembly of modern forests, and qualities that all ancient forests shared are also thoroughly examined. A special feature of this book is its self-contained introduction to the early history of Native American peoples and their environment. The author draws on his roots in the Osage nation as well as painstaking research through the historical record, offering a complete discussion of how the cultural practices of hunting, agriculture, and fire helped form the ancient forests.

How to Read a Client from Across the Room: Win More Business

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mychals, Brandy / Mychals, PUBLISHER: McGraw-Hill, Win more business by reading clients' visual and verbal clues Whether it's approaching a potential new client at a networking function, closing a sale in a one-on-one meeting, or negotiating a business deal, being able to read the verbal and nonverbal cues in any situation often is the difference between a successful deal and no deal at all. In "How to Read a Client from Across the Room," communications expert Brandy Mychals presents an innovative, proven approach to interpersonal communication called the Character Code System. The Character Code System is a personality profiling tool that enables users to quickly and accurately "read" a subject--and then tailor engagement and communication methods on the fly to suit that person's character type. Unlike Myers-Briggs and other complex, more conventional approaches, the Character Code System is user-friendly; it improves on traditional behavioral typing by combining visual, verbal and psychological elements to make it easy to attract clients--even across a crowded room. Brandy Mychals is an award-winning speaker, author and communications expert, and creator of the Character Code System for Client Attraction.

The Deluge The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Gl

The Deluge The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order, Adaptable a un grand choix de styles et de capacites de enseignement d'etudiant, la Cinquieme Edition de l'etapa de Segunda presente les etudiants de niveau intermediaire a la litterature Hispanique. Comportant les chiffres litteraires Espagnols et Latino-americains renommes, les 18 selections de la fiction, la poesie, et le drame sont pleinement approuves par une pre-lecture et un appareillage complets de courrier-lecture concus pour engager des etudiants comme lecteurs, auteurs et orateurs d'Espagnol. The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order The Deluge The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order As I was a big fan of Tooze's The Wages of Destruction, I was really looking forward to this book. In it, Tooze advances the thesis that Woodrow Wilson and, to a lesser extent, his successors were attempting to exert a form of global financial hegemony during the latter half of WW1 as the Entente became reliant on American loans. I can't help but feel that the author bit off more than he could chew-even 500 pages isn't enough space to cover global economic and political development over such a tumultuous 15 year time period, and he often makes assertions that he doesn't have enough time or space to fully explore or explain-perhaps he should have focused more on the American-European relationship and left Asia for a follow-on work. Tooze is at his best when discussing socio-political events, but makes some a few military history errors-he refers to the Imperial German Navy as the Kriegsmarine, a name it wouldn't adopt until the coming of the Third Reich, and classifies the Japanese battleship Mutsu as a cruiser-the later is important because of the Mutsu's role as a symbol of national pride as ship partially paid for by the donations of school kids. I still highly recommend reading it. _ *\_ A brilliant book - it has radically changed my understanding of... A brilliant book - it has radically changed my understanding of the Great War and the peace. He presents a radical reinterpretation of the peace, Wilson and Brest Litovsk. Oceanic - opens a whole new world of thinking about the problem. Amazing, Can't think of a better book that I have read in years. _ *\_ A searing and highly original analysis of the First World War and its anguished aftermath In the depths of the Great War, with millions dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. The heart of the financial system shifted from London to New York. The infinite demands for men and materiel reached into countries far from the front. The strain of the war ravaged all economic and political assumptions, bringing unheard-of changes in the social and industrial order. A century after the outbreak of fighting, Adam Tooze revisits this seismic moment in history, challenging the existing narrative of the war, its peace, and its aftereffects. From the day the United States enters the war in to the precipice of global financial ruin, Tooze delineates the world remade by American economic and military power. Tracing the ways in which countries came to terms with America's centrality?including the slide into fascism?The Deluge is a chilling work of great originality that will fundamentally change how we view the legacy of World War I. Adam Tooze is Barton M. Biggs Professor of History and Co-Director of International Security Studies at Yale University.
