Sinossi

Education in Prisons explores the transformative potential of education within correctional facilities, arguing it's a key to rehabilitation and reduced recidivism. The book analyzes how prison education programs, ranging from GED preparation to vocational training, equip incarcerated individuals with essential cognitive and social skills needed for successful reentry. A core insight is that investing in education can drastically reduce repeat offenses, improving public safety and fostering economic growth.

 
The book examines the historical context of prison education, its evolution, and the diverse range of educational programs currently available. It presents empirical evidence, including statistical data and case studies, to demonstrate the effectiveness of these programs on recidivism rates and employment outcomes. By drawing on criminology, sociology, and economics, Education in Prisons offers a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

 
Structured to provide a thorough overview, the book begins with the history of prison education, explores program types, assesses their effectiveness, and concludes with policy recommendations. This approach highlights the importance of viewing prison education not just as a supplementary program but as a fundamental component of effective correctional strategies and criminal justice reform.

    One of the most important books in social psychology of the last fifty years, “The classic account of the human tendency to follow orders, no matter who they hurt or what their consequences.” (Washington Post Book World) 
    The landmark examination of humanity's susceptibility to authoritarianism, Stanley Milgram's classic speaks to the present with disturbing urgency. ""Milgram's experiments on obedience have made us more aware of the dangers of uncritically accepting authority,"" observed Peter Singer in the New York Times Book Review. 
    In the 1960s, Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram famously carried out a series of experiments that forever changed our perceptions of morality and free will. The subjects—or “teachers”—were instructed to administer electroshocks to a human “learner,” with the shocks becoming progressively more powerful and painful. Controversial but now strongly vindicated by the scientific community, these experiments attempted to determine to what extent people will obey orders from authority figures regardless of consequences. ""The aim of this investigation was to find when and how people would defy authority in the face of a clear moral imperative."" 
    With an introduction from Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who conducted the famous Stanford Prison Experiment, Obedience to Authority is Milgram’s fascinating and troubling chronicle of his classic study and a vivid and persuasive explanation of his conclusions. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    "It was a delight to re-read and record The Headmaster. My Deerfield days came back to me in a great rush. ... So much of Mr. Boyden's teaching focused on what boys needed to grow up to be adults in society, with a particular emphasis on giving back to the community.” —Edoardo BalleriniStarting in 1902 at a country school that had an enrollment of fourteen, Frank Boyden built an academy that has long since taken its place on a level with Andover and Exeter. Boyden, who died in 1972, was the school's headmaster for sixty-six years. John McPhee portrays a remarkable man "at the near end of a skein of magnanimous despots who...created enduring schools through their own individual energies, maintained them under their own absolute rule, and left them forever imprinted with their own personalities." More than simply a portrait of the Headmaster of Deerfield Academy, it is a revealing look at the nature of private school education in America. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    A highly practical and approachable guide to somatic meditation with easy practices for accessing the body’s inherent mindfulness, from an expert in somatic meditation. 
    Tap into the wisdom of the body with down-to-earth practices like “Surrendering to the Breath” and “Befriending Feelings” that allow the body to become the source of mindfulness. Willa Blythe Baker introduces meditation practice as the cultivation of a way of being, rather than a way of doing. It is a way of being that is self-aware, self-compassionate, and embodied. This way of being is not limited to practice on the cushion or on the yoga mat—somatic mindfulness is available at any moment, activated by attention to the body’s wisdom and its teachings. 
    Discover the three layers of embodiment, from the earth body of flesh and blood, the subtle body of sensory experience and emotion, and the awareness body of consciousness. The three parts of this book explore these layers through turning attention to the physical, energetic, and mental dimensions of human experience. By diving deep into the body, readers will find that they already have what they need. Concentration, wisdom, compassion, kindness, and joy are waiting there.
