  In the first edition of A Country Called Prison, Mary Looman and John Carl presented persuasive data calling for downsizing of America's prisons. Their novel approach continues in their second edition, shifting the beliefs many people have about prisons and their role in the American society. Since the original edition was published, the landscape of incarceration has been changing. 
   
   
   
  In their second edition, Carl and Looman discuss the significant world events, such as the COVID epidemic, that impacted the American society in the past decade, which lead to an overall twenty percent reduction in prison populations across the board. The second edition includes a new chapter covering the history of prisons that clearly establishes the fact that prisons have always been about making money and less about rehabilitating offenders. They also introduce the new era of decarceration and desistance, encouraging courts to defer sentences and keep minor offenders at home with their families and in their communities while they work, attend education classes, and receive mental health treatment. Once again Carl and Looman end their book with a rational and daring proposal—Marshall Plan 2024—that envisions a way to bring the criminal justice system into the twenty-first century focusing on social equity and humane compassion for those who want to emigrate out.

  Jewish family life is deeply rooted in tradition, values, and a strong sense of community. The family is not just a social unit but the very foundation of Jewish identity, shaping the faith, customs, and moral principles passed down through generations. Through daily practices, holidays, and shared rituals, Jewish families cultivate a home environment that nurtures both spiritual and ethical development. 
  At the core of Jewish family life is the concept of shalom bayit, or peace in the home. This principle emphasizes harmony, mutual respect, and love among family members. Parents play a crucial role in modeling these values, creating an atmosphere where kindness, patience, and understanding are prioritized. The Torah provides guidance on fostering a household filled with compassion and justice, reinforcing the idea that family is a sacred space where Jewish teachings come to life. 
  Another fundamental aspect of Jewish family life is the observance of Shabbat. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest—it is a time for families to reconnect, reflect, and step away from the distractions of daily life. The preparation for Shabbat, including lighting the candles, reciting blessings over wine and bread, and sharing a festive meal, strengthens family bonds. Shabbat serves as a reminder of the importance of slowing down, appreciating one another, and finding holiness within the home. It is a time when parents pass down traditions and children absorb the rhythms of Jewish living.

  Human civilization is fundamentally a story of movement, migration, and collective settlement—with cities emerging as the most complex and dynamic manifestations of our collective human experience. From ancient settlements clustered around rivers and trade routes to today's sprawling global metropolises, urbanization represents a profound transformation of how humans organize, interact, and envision community. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate narrative of The History of Urbanization, the multifaceted Impacts of Urban Growth, and the emergence of Global Cities, tracing the remarkable journey of human settlement from isolated communities to interconnected, sophisticated urban ecosystems. 
  The evolution of cities is far more than a chronological progression of architectural and infrastructural development; it is a nuanced story of social adaptation, economic innovation, and human resilience. By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future potentials of urban growth, this book reveals the complex mechanisms that drive metropolitan transformation. Readers will journey through the social, economic, technological, and cultural forces that shape urban landscapes—uncovering how global cities emerge as crucibles of human potential, where demographic shifts, technological innovations, economic dynamics, and cultural exchanges converge to create living, breathing environments that continually redefine the boundaries of human collective experience.

  Vanessa Freerks analyzes how Baudrillard re-actualizes Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals, investigating how themes and approaches in Baudrillard’s Consumer Society, Simulacra and Simulations and Symbolic Exchange and Death resonate with Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals. This book fills a gap in the limited literature available on the relation between Baudrillard’s thought to that of Nietzsche and Heidegger. Baudrillard with Nietzsche and Heidegger: A Contrastive Analysis is essential reading for students and scholars of continental philosophy, sociology, and cultural theory.
