Summary

Plea Bargain Mechanics offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of plea bargains within the criminal justice system. It argues that plea bargaining, despite its criticisms, is a crucial mechanism for the functioning of contemporary criminal courts. Without it, the system would likely be overwhelmed, potentially harming the rights of both defendants and victims. 

 
The book examines the structure of plea deals, detailing the types of agreements such as charge and sentence bargains, and the legal constraints that govern them. It analyzes the motivations behind plea bargaining, looking at incentives for defendants, prosecutors, and judges. Did you know that plea bargaining emerged as a pragmatic solution to alleviate pressures from rising crime rates and complex legal procedures?

 
Also, the book uses statistical data on plea agreement rates and sentencing outcomes to provide a quantitative analysis of this phenomenon. The book progresses from introducing the history and legal basis of plea bargaining to examining negotiation strategies, factors influencing plea deals, and their impact on sentencing disparities. It concludes by exploring potential reforms to enhance transparency and equity. It delves into the political science and true crime aspects of plea bargains, balancing legal analysis with empirical research and practical insights.

    This WWII combat history vividly recounts the exploits of the US 66th Armored Regiment from its initial formation to D-Day and the Race for Berlin. The U.S. 66th Armored Regiment was the only American heavy tank unit to see combat in World War I. By the time America went to war in Europe a second time, it was on the cutting edge of armored warfare. From its baptism of fire in the mud of the Western Front in 1918 to its triumphant march into Berlin in July 1945, Iron Knights tells the story of this legendary regiment.    When the Great War ended, the 66th Armored Regiment served as a laboratory for new ideas and equipment. After training under Gen. George S. Patton, the 66th distinguished itself in numerous battles during World War II, earning six battle streamers for the unit and a Medal of Honor for one of its officers.

    “Fromm crossed the boundaries of traditional disciplines to expound his view on the alienation of man in an increasingly technological world.” —Newsweek Erich Fromm’s basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being, and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only mutual ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life, but also a shared psychic structure. With his concept of “social character,” Fromm created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this compendium.The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here, interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm’s unique social psychological notion.

    Printing Press The: The History...

    The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. 
    Long before the emergence of the modern world, paper was unknown in the West, and all documents were transcribed by hand onto clay, papyrus, and parchment. More importantly, few were allowed to express themselves through written media. Writing was for the most part theological in nature, reserved for scribes mostly living and working in monasteries. Books in the Middle Ages were owned almost exclusively by monasteries and educational institutions, and with reading material being such a rarity, content remained narrow and difficult to access. 
    	Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life. Within less than a century of Gutenberg’s device appearing on the scene, printing presses had churned out tens of millions of copies of books of all types, and as more people became educated, lower classes became wealthier while revolutionary principles spread across borders like wildfire. In addition to ushering in the Renaissance, the printing press also made the Reformation possible, and just as gunpowder was revolutionizing medieval warfare, the printing press led to battles over ideas and the rise of nationalism. For better and worse, after Gutenberg’s printing press became available, the world would never be the same.
