Sinossi

Triad Structures Explored offers a deep dive into the clandestine world of Chinese Triads, examining their history, organizational structures, and impact on global crime. This book dissects how these criminal organizations have evolved from 17th-century resistance movements to modern transnational enterprises involved in activities from drug trafficking to political corruption. It reveals that Triads are not monolithic but rather dynamic networks with internal rivalries and shifting alliances. The book meticulously explores the Triads' internal mechanics, including their hierarchical arrangements and codes of conduct, providing a nuanced perspective often missed in traditional depictions. Readers will gain insights into the socio-political factors contributing to their resilience.

 
For example, the book highlights how periods of dynastic upheaval and economic reform have shaped Triad operations. Beginning with core concepts of Triad membership, the book progresses through the historical evolution of Triad societies, contemporary organizational structures, and diverse criminal activities. It concludes with an analysis of law enforcement challenges and recommendations for effective strategies. This comprehensive approach, grounded in law enforcement reports and academic research, makes it invaluable for academics, law enforcement, and anyone interested in understanding organized crime.

    Exploring Pittsburgh's Ups and Downs 
     
    In Pittsburgh, the elevation varies wildly, fluctuating 660 feet from highest to lowest points throughout the area and making it one of the hilliest cities in the United States. Throughout this unruly and physically challenging landscape, the city's first mass transportation system was built—a steadily expanding network of public stairways, locally referred to as city steps, these flights of stairs are a throwback to a very different time in history and a very different Pittsburgh. Authors Laura Zurowski, Charles Succop, and Matthew Jacob present the history of the Steel City steps and a walking guide to their scenic locations today.

    Did you know that Western civilization has influenced the lives of almost everyone alive today? 
    What do you know about Western civilization? It might sound like a funny question to ask, but a lot of people don’t realize how much the West has impacted the world. The values of Western civilization have influenced laws, people’s sense of individuality, and even our morals. 
    This audiobook will trace Western civilization back to its roots. In this epic quest, we head all the way back to Greece when Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato pondered the very meaning of life. Explore the depths of knowledge that were probed by Greek schools of thought, such as the Stoics and the Cynics. 
    Was it better to stoically grin and bear the troubles of life as the Stoics advised, or was it better to simply shrug one’s shoulders and declare everything to be pointless, stupid, and absurd? 
    And in the middle of these philosophers’ quest, a missionary from Judea named Paul of Tarsus stepped in to spread the “good news” of the Gospels. Christianity and other schools of thought converged, and the Roman Empire helped to facilitate the spread of these ideas far and wide. Soon, the foundations for Western civilization had been firmly established. 
    These ideas would later undergo renaissances, reformations, and scientific revolutions, but the basic foundation has remained in place. Here, in this audiobook, we explore all of the fascinating aspects of the great framework upon which our modern Western civilization rests. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn the following:Greek philosophical and scientific discoveriesThe convergence of Greco-Roman and Christian beliefsHow Western civilization transformed during the Middle AgesAnd much more!
