  The Fight for Privacy -...

  Privacy is disappearing. From our sex lives to our workout routines, the details of our lives once relegated to pen and paper have joined the slipstream of new technology. As a MacArthur fellow and distinguished professor of law at the University of Virginia, acclaimed civil rights advocate Danielle Citron has spent decades working with lawmakers and stakeholders across the globe to protect what she calls intimate privacy—encompassing our bodies, health, gender, and relationships. When intimate privacy becomes data, corporations know exactly when to flash that ad for a new drug or pregnancy test. Social and political forces know how to manipulate what you think and who you trust, leveraging sensitive secrets and deepfake videos to ruin or silence opponents. And as new technologies invite new violations, people have power over one another like never before, from revenge porn to blackmail, attaching life-altering risks to growing up, dating online, or falling in love.A masterful new look at privacy in the twenty-first century, The Fight for Privacy takes the focus off Silicon Valley moguls to investigate the price we pay as technology migrates deeper into every aspect of our lives: entering our bedrooms and our bathrooms and our midnight texts; our relationships with friends, family, lovers, and kids; and even our relationship with ourselves.

  Cancel Wars - How Universities...

  An even-handed exploration of the polarized state of campus politics that suggests ways for schools and universities to encourage discourse across difference.  
   
  College campuses have become flashpoints of the current culture war and, consequently, much ink has been spilled over the relationship between universities and the cultivation or coddling of young American minds. Philosopher Sigal R. Ben-Porath takes head-on arguments that infantilize students who speak out against violent and racist discourse on campus or rehash interpretations of the First Amendment. Ben-Porath sets out to demonstrate the role of the university in American society and, specifically, how it can model free speech in ways that promote democratic ideals. 
   
  In Cancel Wars, she argues that the escalating struggles over “cancel culture,” “safe spaces,” and free speech on campus are a manifestation of broader democratic erosion in the United States. At the same time, she takes a nuanced approach to the legitimate claims of harm put forward by those who are targeted by hate speech. Ben-Porath’s focus on the boundaries of acceptable speech (and on the disproportional impact that hate speech has on marginalized groups) sheds light on the responsibility of institutions to respond to extreme speech in ways that proactively establish conversations across difference. Establishing these conversations has profound implications for political discourse beyond the boundaries of collegiate institutions. If we can draw on the truth, expertise, and reliable sources of information that are within the work of academic institutions, we might harness the shared construction of knowledge that takes place at schools, colleges, and universities against truth decay. Of interest to teachers and school leaders, this book shows that by expanding and disseminating knowledge, universities can help rekindle the civic trust that is necessary for revitalizing democracy.

  As you journey through the pages of Socialism Under the Microscope, you’ll discover that…• Socialism is the starter to the meal before the main course of communism takes full control• Within the socialist system of Marx and Lenin, hatred of God is the principal driving force• Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to communist policy; it is the central pivot• Socialism places all power in the hands of the government and takes it from the peopleOne hundred years ago, America’s leading socialists, including Eugene V. Debs, were sentenced to prison because their political statements regarding direct democracy and their call for strikes against capitalism represented acts of sedition.In 2020, socialism has emerged as an ideology that is embraced by millions of Americans, even though few are aware of its meaning and implications.Socialism Under the Microscope is an historical-critical analysis of socialism that answers the most pressing questions about the subject. Who are the fathers of socialism? What effects has socialism produced in countries throughout the world? How did socialism become the dominant ideology not only within American colleges and universities but also the country’s mainline denominations? Is the growth of socialism benign or malignant?The answers may shock you to the core. Be forewarned. The contents of this book will force you to reassess the socio-political thought of Martin Luther King Jr., the songs of John Lennon, and the meaning of the poem by Emma Lazarus that is found at the foot of the Statue of Liberty.Get the book and know the truth.

  Has Vladimir Putin become the master of the game? Why and how did the Russian President decide to attack Ukraine? Did he seek to prevent Ukraine from associating with Europe? Does he seek to reconstitute the USSR? Did NATO promise not to expand east after 1990? Is the Nord Stream 2 project the sinews of war? Is Ukraine's neutrality the only solution? Has Russia ever lost or won the war?... Based on the files of the intelligence services and official reports, Jacques Baud thus reviews the events of the recent history of Russia, which led to the war with Ukraine; it analyzes the various disputes between the West and Russia, and sheds light on the role that Putin plays today on the international scene. Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017.
