Time Bomb - Get The SWAT Team!

Michael Mathiesen

There is a huge bomb that is ticking down to the moment when it must go off and it’s right underneath your feet.  This almost unseen Time Bomb is so massive that it will kill every man woman, child, dog, cat, birds, insects, donkeys, horses, all the fish in the sea, the whales, the dolphins, plankton, trees, plants, flowers and every other thing that lives here on this planet.  UNLESS WE TAKE THE "TIME' away from the BOMB.In this book, you will find the KEY to understanding TIME and how it flies around the universe in WAVES.  Controlling the TIME WAVES is the ONLY ANSWER.  But there’s nowhere to run.  We have to all take a stand by joining what I call the final SWAT Team.  (Save our World Again Today)  If you choose not to saddle up and fight the good fight - it’s curtains for the human race. In my new book, readers will learn about how Time Flies about the universe in waves, how the waves are created by the smallest particles in the subatomic world - Chronons and how they are all connected to one another and to every particle that makes you and your life exist.This is revolutionary new science based on events in my life and probably in yours that have interacted with mine in subtle ways such as the fact that you are now reading my text out of the billions upon billions of other texts on the Internet today.  It's no accident, let me assure you.  However, if you do not get a copy of this book in your hands within the next few minutes, time could be up for the human race, because this is the last segment of time where we have a chance to alter the future.It’s ironic also that Einstein’s famous equation of - E-mc2 was the key to the production of the most destructive forces humans have ever unleashed, the nuclear weapons that today threaten the greatest mass extinction in history,  but in this work, we uncover a different equation that can and will produce the opposite effects of the most creative and life-saving of forces ever known.

Killer Looks - The Forgotten...

Zara Stone

Killer Looks is the definitive story about the long-forgotten practice of providing free nose jobs, face-lifts, breast implants, and other physical alterations to prisoners, the idea being that by remodeling the face you remake the man. From the 1920s up to the mid-1990s, half a million prison inmates across America, Canada, and the UK willingly went under the knife, their tab picked up by the government. 
In the beginning, this was a haphazard affair—applied inconsistently and unfairly to inmates, but entering the 1960s, a movement to scientifically quantify the long-term effect of such programs took hold. And, strange as it may sound, the criminologists were right: recidivism rates plummeted. 
In 1967, a three-year cosmetic surgery program set on Rikers Island saw recidivism rates drop 36% for surgically altered offenders. The program, funded by a $240,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, was led by Dr. Michael Lewin, who ran a similar program at Sing-Sing prison in 1953. 
Killer Looks draws on the intersectionality of socioeconomic success, racial bias, the prison industry complex and the fallacy of attractiveness to get to the heart of how appearance and societal approval creates self-worth, and uncovers deeper truths of beauty bias, inherited racism, effective recidivism programs, and inequality.

The Wireless World - Global...

Friederike Kind-Kovacs, Andrea...

The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
 
 
 
Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.
