Sinopsis

The pioneers of Mill Creek Canyon in the San Bernardino Mountains were visionaries, eccentrics and adventurers. Daniel Sexton married a Native American wife hoping to gain the secret to a mine, while Peter Forsee, a world-weary sheriff, married a widow who was sheltering two outlaw sons. Sylvanus Thurman's burros carried travelers into the wild and sometimes took them for a wild ride. George Burris didn't find gold, but his marble discovery built mansions. D. Rhea Igo created roadside attractions, and Louie Torrey left the city to farm the forest, creating a paradise for his family and others. Join author Shannon Wray as she explores the colorful lives of those who left an indelible mark on Mill Creek Canyon.

    Dark Justice - Inside the World...

    It is difficult to imagine a more heinous crime than the sexual abuse of children. Yet, terrifyingly, a new case of child sexual abuse is reported every seven minutes. In response to this crisis, self-appointed groups of citizens are fashioning themselves as pedophile hunters." Operating outside the law, these groups use social media to bait and expose those seeking to engage children sexually, both on- and offline. Their work has been remarkably effective, but at what cost? Following four years of unprecedented access to the UK's most prolific team of pedophile hunters, Mark de Rond offers balanced and insightful answers to the perplexing question of why these groups persist in using extreme methods to hold predators to account in view of less harmful alternatives. In doing so, he invites us to consider the societal impacts of pedophile hunters on our laws and institutions, as well as societal cohesion and safety.

    This iconoclastic study was one of the most widely debated books of 2000. Finkelstein indicts with vigor and honesty those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own personal political and financial gain. 
     
     
     
    This new edition includes updated material discussing the initial reception to the book's publication. In a controversial new study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements. 
     
     
     
    Leaders of America's Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major strategic asset and, Finkelstein contends, exploited the Holocaust to enhance this newfound status. Their interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters. 
     
     
     
    Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism's victims comes not from the distortions of Holocaust deniers but from prominent, self-proclaimed guardians of Holocaust memory. 
     
     
     
    The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed.

    Political ideologies form the foundation of how societies organize governance, economics, and social structures. They are systems of ideas and beliefs that provide a framework for political thought and action, influencing policies, institutions, and the behavior of individuals and groups. Among the diverse range of ideologies, populism and liberalism have emerged as two of the most significant and often opposing forces in modern political discourse. This chapter introduces the concepts of populism and liberalism, highlights their importance, and sets the stage for the comparative analysis that follows. 
    Populism is a political approach that champions the rights and concerns of the common people against an established elite. It is often characterized by a rhetoric that emphasizes “the people” as a unified and virtuous entity, contrasted with a corrupt and self-serving elite. While populism can manifest across the political spectrum, its appeal lies in its simplicity and directness, offering solutions that often resonate with those who feel excluded or marginalized by traditional institutions. Populist movements frequently arise in periods of social upheaval or economic insecurity, presenting themselves as corrective forces against perceived injustices. 
    In contrast, liberalism is a political ideology rooted in the principles of individual rights, equality, and the rule of law. It advocates for democratic governance, free markets, and the protection of civil liberties. Liberalism’s historical development is closely linked with movements such as the Enlightenment and the rise of constitutional democracies. As a flexible and adaptive ideology, liberalism has evolved to address modern issues such as social justice, environmental concerns, and global cooperation while maintaining its foundational emphasis on freedom and equality.
