Beschreibung

Federal firearms regulation has been a subject of continuous interest for legislators. In recent Con-gresses, a range of proposals has been introduced, with some seeking to ease various federal firearms restrictions or facilitate reciprocity in state treatment of persons authorized to carry firearms by other states. Other proposals have sought greater restrictions on the federal rules concerning the possession, transfer, or sale of firearms or the expansion of background checks for firearm purchases. These various approaches, in turn, prompt debate about not only their pros and cons but also their legalities, as Congress's ability to legislate on such matters must comport with the Second Amendment and other constitutional constraints. This book provides all the major federal gun laws as well as the United States Supreme Court cases which interpreted the Second Amendment.

    Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    You hear “tariff,” and right away you think left-hand politics. 
    Men in suits arguing in back rooms about trade and taxes. 
    But the real game doesn’t happen there. 
    It happens in bonded warehouses, in shipyards, buried deep within the small print. 
    That’s where the loopholes live—In the spaces between the lines of the tax code. 
    A single classification code can cost—or save—a hundred thousand dollars. 
    Change it, and the shipment walks free. Leave it, and you’ve got lacerations where your green money bleeds out. 
    Tariff Loopholes exposes the quiet machinery behind customs law—the slow, grinding gears that reward the few who actually understand how it’s built. 
    Once you learn the system, it’s no longer magic. It’s no mystery. It’s clear as crystal. 
    Tariff Loopholes draws back the curtain on the system most people never see.

    In the 1930s, American colleges and universities began to screen applications using the SAT, a mass-administered, IQ-descended standardized test. The widespread adoption of the test accompanied the development of the world's first mass higher education system—and served to promote the idea that the United States was becoming a "meritocracy." In Higher Admissions, Nicholas Lemann reflects on the state of America's aspirational meritocracy and the enduring value and meaning of standardized testing. 
     
     
     
    Lemann writes that the anticipation of the Supreme Court's 2023 decision banning affirmative action, plus the Covid pandemic, led hundreds of universities to stop requiring standardized admissions tests; now a handful of elite universities are reinstituting test requirements. The country is preoccupied with the admissions policies of the most selective universities, but Lemann redirects our attention to an alternate path that American higher education can still take—one that emphasizes a significant upgrade of the entire higher education system. Lemann argues that to improve the state of higher education overall, we should focus not on the narrow chokepoint of admission to highly selective colleges, but on efforts to create as much meaningful opportunity for flourishing in our vast higher education system for as many people as possible.
