Sinopsis

In Pennsylvania's anthracite coal region, a once-prosperous industry leaves a legacy of environmental destruction, social strife, and human tragedy. The Schuylkill River's devastating transformation mirrors the tumultuous lives of mining families caught between nature's force and their desperate struggles for wealth. Intersecting stories of miners, magnates, and organized crime reveal a tapestry of ambition and corruption, while ordinary lives, like Martha's and Hermie's, are ensnared by larger forces. Rendered with poignancy, it's a tale of resilience amid the rush for coal-fired prosperity, shedding light on ambition's dark underbelly and humanity's quest for justice in the shadows of industrial decay.

    The fully revised and updated fourth edition of the classic Common Sense Economics. 
     
     
     
    As the global economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and debates over the future of work challenge our long-held preconceptions about what careers and the market can be, learning the basics of economics has never been more essential. Principles such as gains from trade, the role of profit and loss, and the secondary effects of government spending, taxes, and borrowing risk continue to be critically important to the way America's economy functions, and critically important to understand for those hoping to further their professional lives—even their personal lives. Common Sense Economics discusses these key points and theories and more, using them to show how any listener can make wiser personal choices and form more informed positions on policy. 
     
     
     
    Now in its fourth edition, this classic from James D. Gwartney, Dwight R. Lee, Tawni Hunt Ferrarini, Joseph P. Calhoun, and Jane Shaw Stroup has been fully updated to include commentary on the effects of the pandemic on the global economy and the workplace; it offers insight into political processes and the many ways in which economics informs policy, illuminating our world and what might be done to make it better.

    In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
     
     
     
    The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.
