Through the lens of Miami's diverse communities, this book delves into the challenges and opportunities of living in a multicultural society, examining issues of identity, language, food, art, religion, education, housing, crime, and the future of the city.

Miami's unique history as a crossroads of cultures has resulted in a vibrant and diverse tapestry of communities, each with its own distinct heritage and traditions. However, this diversity also presents challenges, as residents navigate issues of identity, language, and cultural preservation in a rapidly changing city.

Miami's art scene is equally vibrant and diverse, reflecting the city's multicultural heritage. From the Wynwood Walls graffiti murals to the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the book explores the role of art in expressing cultural identity, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting social change.

Religion also plays a significant role in shaping Miami's culture and community life. The book examines the diverse religious traditions practiced in Miami, from the Santería rituals of the Cuban community to the Jewish synagogues of South Beach. It explores the challenges of religious tolerance in a multicultural city and the role of religious institutions in providing social services and promoting community cohesion.

**Miami: Melting Pot or Divided City?** is a timely and important book that offers a nuanced and insightful look at one of America's most diverse and dynamic cities.

This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students.

Hearing Happiness - Deafness...

Jaipreet Virdi

Weaving together lyrical history and personal memoir, Virdi powerfully examines society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.

At the age of four, Jaipreet Virdi’s world went silent. A severe case of meningitis left her alive but deaf, suddenly treated differently by everyone. Her deafness downplayed by society and doctors, she struggled to “pass” as hearing for most of her life. Countless cures, treatments, and technologies led to dead ends. Never quite deaf enough for the Deaf community or quite hearing enough for the “normal” majority, Virdi was stuck in aural limbo for years. It wasn’t until her thirties, exasperated by problems with new digital hearing aids, that she began to actively assert her deafness and reexamine society’s—and her own—perception of life as a deaf person in America.
Through lyrical history and personal memoir, Hearing Happiness raises pivotal questions about deafness in American society and the endless quest for a cure. Taking us from the 1860s up to the present, Virdi combs archives and museums in order to understand the long history of curious cures: ear trumpets, violet ray apparatuses, vibrating massagers, electrotherapy machines, airplane diving, bloodletting, skull hammering, and many more. Hundreds of procedures and products have promised grand miracles but always failed to deliver a universal cure—a harmful legacy that is still present in contemporary biomedicine.

Weaving Virdi’s own experiences together with her exploration into the fascinating history of deafness cures, Hearing Happiness is a powerful story that America needs to hear.

Organizational Betrayal - How...

Charol Shakeshaft

In Organizational Betrayal, educational researcher Charol Shakeshaft advocates a system-wide approach for safeguarding K–12 students against educator sexual misconduct. 
 
 
 
Based on decades of inquiry into cases of student abuse in educational systems, the work reveals that sexual abuse of children in US K–12 schools is more prevalent than we'd like to believe. Examining the root causes and contexts, Shakeshaft concludes that school cultures and institutional structures are often complicit in cases of sexual misconduct. 
 
 
 
Shakeshaft suggests straightforward actions that can interrupt patterns of abuse and trauma, including teaching both potential bystanders and potential victims of school employee sexual misconduct the policies regulating adult–student interactions in schools; training all members of a school community to recognize red flags and boundary crossing; and investigating the difference between good teaching and questionable tactics that should trigger suspicion. 
 
 
 
The documentation provided in this book is persuasive, and it compels examination of school cultures, decisions, and practices, with a goal of preventing the abuse of students by school employees.

When AI Rules the World - China...

Handel Jones

As China rises to true superpower status, the United States must take immediate action to catch up in AI capabilities—or facefall disastrously behind technologically, economically, and militarily. 
 
 
 
Over the past decade, China has quietly and methodically moved into a near-leadership position in artificial intelligence technologies on a global scale. Meanwhile, the United States has responded ineffectively, weighed down by politics, bureaucracy, and an absence of clear strategy. 
 
 
 
In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? 
 
 
 
When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution. The United States is losing the race for AI dominance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
