Laws of Image - Privacy and Publicity in America

Summary

Americans have long been obsessed with their images—their looks, public personas, and the impressions they make. This preoccupation has left its mark on the law. The twentieth century saw the creation of laws that protect your right to control your public image, to defend your image, and to feel good about your image and public presentation of self. These include the legal actions against invasion of privacy, libel, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. With these laws came the phenomenon of "personal image litigation"—individuals suing to vindicate their image rights. 

Laws of Image tells the story of how Americans came to use the law to protect and manage their images, feelings, and reputations. In this social, cultural, and legal history, Samantha Barbas ties the development of personal image law to the self-consciousness and image-consciousness that has become endemic in our media-saturated culture of celebrity and consumerism, where people see their identities as intertwined with their public images. The laws of image are the expression of a people who have become so publicity-conscious and self-focused that they believe they have a right to control their images—to manage and spin them like actors, politicians, and rock stars.

    Cracking the Code 
    What you're about to witness and make your own are nine effective approaches to unraveling a common pain pattern that, ironically, often goes unrecognized! 
    + About 70% of my clients come in with hip/back imbalances: 
    + More than half of those have already seen other practitioners, unsuccessfully. 
    + Discovery happens during assessments. 
    + The code will be the correct sequence of techniques that pinpoint and ease the real  culprit(s) causing the imbalance. 
    Why nine approaches? 
    + Nine client complaints give us enough choices to begin narrowing down the search. 
    + Verbal and visual input reflects recent changes in habitual movements, trauma, stress, and environment. 
    + Body feedback during assessment palpations directs with less guesswork. 
    +Fibrotic tissue and unexpected joint fixations, for example, often tell us to slow down, modify, or switch to the nearest technique. 
    + Consider these systematic techniques to be a giant, living flowchart, with enough overlap and process of elimination to find your clients’ unique pathways.

    Peru is a land of majesty and wonder where myth, legend, and history all come together. And this audiobook gives you a front-row seat! 
    The land of Peru is one that, for many, seems far away and distant. Even for those living relatively nearby geographically, Peru can seem just out of reach. After all, Peru is situated high in the Andes on the western coast of South America. Those who dare to live at this high of an elevation have learned to live on their own terms.  
    The Inca leader Manco II, for example, displayed his tenacity by heading a rebel kingdom in the depths of the Amazon even after much of the Inca Empire of his ancestors had been overrun by the Spanish conquistadors.  
    Manco’s struggle was later picked up by Túpac Amaru II, who waged war against the Spanish occupation. Túpac Amaru II would be captured and executed for daring to revolt against the Spanish Crown, but his legend would live on in the hearts and minds of Peruvians everywhere.  
    Fast forward to Peru’s independence from Spain, and one finds the heroic Simón Bolívar. He was pivotal in the independence of Peru, as well as a whole slew of Latin American countries, which he was put in charge of at various times during his dynamic career.  
    Great heroes like Simón Bolívar certainly stand out, but so do other intriguing and captivating characters from Peru’s past. From the great Inca ruler Atahualpa to Francisco Pizarro to modern-day Peruvian presidents like Alberto Fujimori and Dina Boluarte, Peru has quite a story to tell! 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The origins of Peruvian civilizationThe rise and fall of the Inca EmpireThe explorations of conquistadors like Francisco PizarroRevolutionaries like Túpac Amaru II and resistance to Spanish rulePeru’s struggle for independence
