Sinopsis

"Freedom Of Information" explores the vital role of public access laws in a democracy, focusing on government transparency and accountability. It highlights how these laws empower informed citizenship by allowing individuals to scrutinize government actions. The book argues that effective Freedom of Information (FOI) laws are fundamental to a healthy democracy, reducing corruption and enabling informed decision-making. For example, without access to information, corruption can increase exponentially. The book examines the history and evolution of FOI laws, tracing their development from the post-World War II era to the present day, with a focus on the US Freedom of Information Act of 1966. It then delves into the practical aspects of requesting government records, navigating bureaucratic hurdles, and understanding exemptions. Case studies illustrate the successes and failures of FOI laws in practice, showing how they've been used to uncover wrongdoing and influence policy. The book adopts a pragmatic and analytical approach, presenting information in plain language suitable for a broad audience. It progresses logically, starting with core concepts, then moving to practical applications and recommendations for strengthening transparency mechanisms. This makes it valuable for students, journalists, policymakers, and engaged citizens interested in understanding their rights to access government information.

Beyond Baseball’s Color Barrier...

Rocco Constantino

A fascinating history celebrating Black players in Major League Baseball from the 1800s through today, with special insight into what the future may hold. 
 
 
 
In Beyond Baseball's Color Barrier, Rocco Constantino chronicles the history of generations of ballplayers, showing how African Americans have influenced baseball from the 1800s to the present. He details how the color line was drawn, efforts made to erode it, and the progress towards Jackie Robinson's debut—including a pre-integration survey in which players unanimously promoted integration years before it actually happened. Personal accounts and colorful stories trace the exponential growth of diversity in the sport since integration, from a boom in participation in the 1970s to peak participation in the early 1990s, but also reveal the current downward trend in the number of African American players to percentages not seen since the 1960s. 
 
 
 
Beyond Baseball's Color Barrier not only explores the stories of icons like Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Satchel Paige but also considers contributions made by players like Vida Blue, Mudcat Grant, and Dwight Gooden. Exclusive interviews with former players and individuals involved in the game, including the President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, add first-hand expert insight into the history of the topic and what the future holds.
