Sinopsis

Terrorism and Warfare examines the intersection of terrorism and modern warfare, exploring how terrorist tactics have reshaped military strategies and ignited sophisticated counterterrorism efforts. The book argues that integrating terrorist methods into conflict has fundamentally changed warfare, requiring a reevaluation of traditional military approaches. For example, the rise of asymmetric warfare, where weaker groups use unconventional tactics against stronger foes, highlights this shift. 

 
The book delves into the historical context of terrorism, understanding its evolution from isolated political violence to a pervasive element in modern conflict. It analyzes how terrorist organizations employ military tactics, including asymmetric warfare, insurgency, and information operations. Readers will gain insights into the strategies and technologies used in modern counterterrorism, such as intelligence gathering and targeted operations.

 
The book progresses by establishing a conceptual framework, then examining terrorist tactics, and concluding with an assessment of the future of warfare considering ethical and legal implications.

Addiction Becomes Normal - On...

Jaeyoon Park

Addiction is now seen as an ordinary feature of human nature, an idea that introduces new doubts about the meaning of our desires. 
  
Over the last forty years, a variety of developments in American science, politics, and culture have reimagined addiction in their own ways, but they share an important understanding: increasingly, addiction is described as normal, the natural result of a body that has been exposed to potent stimuli. This shift in thinking suggests that addiction is a condition latent in all of us, a common response to a society rich in thrills. 
  
In Addiction Becomes Normal, Jaeyoon Park provides a history and critical analysis of the normalization of addiction in late-modern American society. By exploring addiction science, diagnostic manuals, judicial reform, and public health policy, he shows how seeing addiction as normal has flourished in recent decades and is supported throughout cultural life in the United States by the language of wellness, psychotherapy, and more. Building on Michel Foucault’s depiction of the human figure, Park argues that this shift reflects the emergence of a new American subject, one formed by the accretion of experiences. This view of the human subject challenges the idea that our compulsions reflect our characters, wills, or spirits. For if addiction is an extreme but ordinary attachment, and if compulsive consumption resembles healthy behavior, then desire is no longer an expression of the soul so much as the pursuit of a past reward. A perceptive work of recent history and political theory, Addiction Becomes Normal raises new questions about what it means to be human in America today.

Deer Hunting with Jesus -...

Joe Bageant

By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." 
 
 
 
Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. 
 
 
 
He writes of: 
 
 
 
● His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced 
 
 
 
● The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt 
 
 
 
● The ubiquitous gun culture—and why the left doesn't get it 
 
 
 
● Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England

A Fish Has No Word For Water - A...

Violet Blue

WINNER: 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards GOLD 
"A gripping account of survival and a condemnation of the conditions that marginalize and endanger the unsheltered." —KIRKUS 
"Superb... Sharp dialogue, incisive observations, and polished prose." —BookLife EDITOR'S PICK 
Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars -- while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. 
A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. 
This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of technologies and peoples that should not be together, but are. It upends stereotypes about children who survive abuse, young sex workers, LGBTQ youth, resilience in the face of immense grief and trauma, and how communities form to overcome some of the deadliest forms of discrimination. It reveals to readers that there was never a case for tech's shine in the first place. 
Most of all, it is a story of tremendous resilience and how we can remake trauma into an invitation to be part of a larger world.
