Summary

Sentencing Reform Trends examines the significant shifts occurring in criminal sentencing practices, driven by concerns over mass incarceration and the need for a more just and effective criminal justice system. The book highlights the rise of alternative punishments, expansion of judicial discretion, and increasing emphasis on proportionality mandates, marking a departure from traditional, rigid sentencing guidelines. Did you know that the current system often fails to address the root causes of crime and disproportionately impacts marginalized communities, perpetuating cycles of recidivism?

 
This book uniquely integrates the analysis of alternative punishments like restorative justice and drug courts, the role of judicial discretion including plea bargaining dynamics, and proportionality mandates to provide a comprehensive view. It argues that a more nuanced approach is essential.

 
Beginning with a historical overview, the book progresses through an examination of core concepts, debates over judicial authority, and the practical implications of these trends on crime rates and public safety. The book uses legal analysis, statistical data, and case studies, including sentencing commission reports, to support its arguments.

 
Ultimately, Sentencing Reform Trends offers valuable insights for policymakers, legal professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the key trends shaping sentencing practices and their implications for the future of justice. The book addresses ongoing debates about the role of punishment in society, the balance between individual liberty and public safety, and the causes and consequences of mass incarceration.

    Persia and Islam: The History of...

    As the Persian Empire’s power makes clear, Persia has been a crucial area throughout history, and thus it has been fought over incessantly, watching empires rise and fall. For most of the past 1,400 years, Islamic powers have struggled for supremacy in the region.  
The split between the two forms of Islam was already in the process of forming upon the death of the Prophet Muhammad. Muhammad had constructed around himself not only a potent new religious movement but also a powerful young state called the Ummah (the "Community" for lack of a better translation). Belonging to the Islamic faith also meant belonging to the Ummah, which was governed by its own laws and had many of its own institutions. 	Amid the upheaval in the Islamic world following Muhammad’s death, the Umayyad Caliphate lasted for less than a century, but in that time it managed to become one of the most influential of the major caliphates established following him. Its official existence was from 661-750, and the rulers were the male members of the Umayyad dynasty, roughly translated from Arabic as the “Sons of Umayyah.” Its primary base of power was in Syria following the creation of a dynastic, hereditary rule headed by one of Syria’s long-lasting governors, Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan. 
	The Ottoman Empire and Safavids would also vie for power in Persia after the caliphates, and the Ottomans in particular spent several centuries expanding their empire’s size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century.  Preserving its mixed heritage, coming from both its geographic position rising above the ashes of the Byzantine Empire and the tradition inherited from the Muslim Conquests, the Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries.

  • Then I Am Myself the World - What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It - cover

    Then I Am Myself the World -...

    The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
 
 
 
In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
 
 
 
Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
 
 
 
This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.
