Synopsis

The magnificent American master had the most extraordinary brain that anybody has ever had for chess. Technique, strategy, tactics, knowledge which is inconceivable for us; all that was possessed by Morphy fifty-four years ago. – Jose R. Capablanca

Paul Charles Morphy (June 22, 1837 – July 10, 1884), an American chess player, is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era. This book unveils the life of this chess prodigy, knew as "The Pride and Sorrow of Chess" because he had a brilliant chess career but retired from the game while still young. Garry Kasparov maintained that Morphy can be considered both the "forefather of modern chess" and "the first swallow - the prototype of the strong 20th century grandmaster."

    When The New Press, the Center for American Progress, and the Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted Peoples and Family Movement issued a call for innovative reform ideas, over three hundred currently and formerly incarcerated individuals responded. What We Know collects two dozen of their best suggestions, each of which proposes a policy solution derived from their own lived experience.Ideas run the gamut: A man serving time in Indiana argues for a Prison Labor Standards Act, calling for us to reject prison slavery. A Nebraska man who served a federal prison term for white-collar crimes suggests offering courses in entrepreneurship as a way to break down barriers to employment for people returning from incarceration. A woman serving a life sentence in Georgia spells out a system of earned privileges that could increase safety and decrease stress inside prison. And a man serving a twenty-five-year term for a crime he committed at age fifteen advocates powerfully for eliminating existing financial incentives to charge youths as adults.With contributors including nationally known formerly incarcerated leaders in justice reform, twenty-three justice-involved individuals add a perspective that is too often left out of national reform conversations.

    This book consists of two titles, which are the following: 
      
    Book 1: Are there sociopaths in your life? You bet! You may not recognize them, or they may not be serial killers. Perhaps they are not causing any trouble at all. But to know what to look for, is pretty important, if you ask me. It’s interesting that some people just don’t have that much of a conscience. And every person chooses how to deal with that differently. It can reflect on their actions in different ways. 
      
    Moreover, sociopaths typically abuse the conscience of others by manipulating them with guilt-trips, blackmail, and other secret techniques. Psychopaths are similar, but they are not the same. We will discuss that too. Other topics in this book include why many male sociopaths objectify women, the motivations of a sociopath, and the three steps for identifying one. 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: Are narcissists sociopaths?  
      
    And if they are different, then can someone be both? 
      
    These and many other questions will be answered in this guide. You will learn, on top of that, how parents can struggle with sociopathic kids and how you can do better. You will also learn about the American culture and why sociopaths are generally liked by the masses (trust me, it’s true… I’ve seen it over and over again: Fake wins over the truth in a culture driven by emotion, drama, and glamour. Last but not least, you will acquire more knowledge about the fundamental differences and overlaps between narcissists and sociopaths, so you don’t have to be like so many other people who toss those terms around like a wet diaper.

    Hoping for the stability he needs to start a family, Sandeep Jauhar, an attending cardiologist, accepts a position at a massive teaching hospital on the outskirts of Queens. With a decade's worth of elite medical training behind him, he is eager to settle down and reap the rewards of countless sleepless nights.Instead, he is confronted with sobering truths. Doctors' morale is low and getting lower. Blatant cronyism determines patient referrals, corporate ties distort medical decisions, and unnecessary tests are routinely performed in order to generate income. Meanwhile, a single patient in Jauhar's hospital might see fifteen specialists in one stay and still fail to receive a full picture of his actual condition.In Doctored, Jauhar chronicles the formative years of his residency while observing firsthand the crisis of American medicine through the eyes of a cardiologist.
