Summary

Organized Crime Trends explores how criminal networks have adapted across the globe, revealing insights into affected societies and counteracting systems. The book analyzes the globalization of crime, diversification of criminal enterprises (from drug trafficking to cybercrime), and the role of technology in facilitating and combating illicit activities. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective law enforcement and policy-making. It leverages crime statistics and research from organizations like INTERPOL and UNODC. 

 
The book adopts an analytical approach, moving from defining organized crime to examining specific trends across regions like Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Case studies illustrate diverse manifestations of organized crime and the data and research findings are presented objectively. 

 
Ultimately, it argues for comprehensive strategies targeting both the supply and demand sides of criminal markets, offering practical recommendations for policymakers and law enforcement.

    Weird Radio: A Collection of Spy...

    For more than a century, radio has been a part of people’s lives. No one alive today remembers a time when it hadn't always been there as a familiar, reliable source of information and entertainment. Today, it seems a bit mundane, overtaken by the Internet and satellite television. Even in the 1980s, the development of cable television (50 channels instead of five) and the start of MTV made radio seem quaint, and as many once claimed, “Radio is dead.” 
It wasn't, of course. Radio is still popular today, with as many stations as ever, and it remains a part of the world that is taken for granted. While not dead, its familiarity has made it seem a bit mundane, but people shouldn’t think of it that way. In fact, the airwaves have always been a place of mystery, a battleground of competing ideologies, and a source of anonymous voices. Radio has been used to support war efforts, topple governments, communicate secretly, and even attempt to communicate with the dead. 
Weird Radio: A Collection of Spy Transmissions, Unidentified Stations, and other Mysteries of the Airwaves includes strange stories that will make this familiar medium seem a bit less familiar and far more interesting. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about some of the world’s strangest radio stories like never before.

    Absolute Tao - Subtle is the way...

    Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu.
Tao, like Osho, is the way of wholeness: not dividing or denying anything, simply remaining choiceless and aware. You will find yourself listening to this series as if it were a waterfall; as you listen, you will come to understand the emptiness that puts us in touch with the eternal and makes bliss and ecstasy possible.

- On the Absolute Tao
- Ordinariness
- On the Character of Tao
- Emptiness
- On the Danger of Overweening Success
- There Is No Meaning
- On the Utility of Not-Being
- Witnessing
- On the Wise Ones of Old
- Wisdom and Understanding

This is a mad, mad world. A world full of crazy humans. Our species is growing at an alarming rate; the globe is warming out of control; our food sources are being depleted; a massive energy crisis is looming and the pressure on each and every one of us to earn more, compete with our peers and look cool is so great that suicide rates are growing faster than ever. 
 
Marry, have two children, hold down a good job, fight for your country, pay your mortgage and drive a petrol guzzling car. What about creativity, freedom, emotions? We are sold to, manipulated by marketing and propaganda, told what and who to believe. We are born and thrown into a bewildering world of control with no options and no purpose other than to feed the machine. 
 
For many it all becomes too much and the pressure forces suicide. But is this the only way to live? No it is not. There are ways to escape the madness of human society. To escape the Queen Bee of capitalism and control. To no longer be a drone. 
 
It is time to jump off.

    Embracing the Void - Rethinking...

    A radical reinterpretation of the origin of religion through a psychoanalytic theorization of the unknown 
 
 
  
Renowned psychoanalytic philosopher Richard Boothby puts forward a novel theory of religion inspired by Jacques Lacan's theory of das Ding, the disquieting, inaccessible dimension of fellow human beings. This notion of an unfathomable excess, originally encountered in the figure of the mother, led Lacan to break with Freud's formulation of the Oedipus complex and underlies Lacan's distinctive conception of unconscious dynamics. Leaning on this account, Boothby shows how our sense of the sacred arises from our relation to what we do not know. 
 
 
  
Embracing the Void lays out the range of Freud's attempts at a psychoanalytic theory of religion and then sketches the rough contours of Lacan's contrasting approach. From there, Boothby offers the theoretical tools for interpreting the religious impulse and analyzes key religious traditions, from ancient Greek polytheism to Judaism and Christianity, and from Hinduism and Buddhism to Islam, finally turning to modern capitalist culture and the seductive deity that dominates it—money. Lucid, accessible, and compelling, the book provides a cogent intervention in one of the psychoanalytic tradition's most contentious topics and offers a new approach to our understanding of religion.

    Ever found yourself staring into the void and wished it would at least tell a good joke? Wonder how a chain-smoking French philosopher with unflattering glasses became an intellectual sex symbol? Want to understand existentialism without developing an addiction to black turtlenecks and cigarettes? 
"Sartre's No Exit" is the antidote to pretentious philosophical despair you've been waiting for. This irreverent guide takes you on a sarcasm-soaked journey through Jean-Paul Sartre's most influential ideas—from radical freedom and bad faith to the hellishness of other people—all while mercilessly mocking the man who made existential angst fashionable. 
In these pages, you'll discover: 
How Sartre transformed teenage angst into a philosophical system (and got famous for it) 
Why your freedom is both absolute and absolutely terrifying 
How we all lie to ourselves about our lies to ourselves 
The philosophical roots of your social anxiety and public bathroom discomfort 
Why "Hell is other people" doesn't mean what you think (but is still a great excuse for canceling plans) 
How Sartre maintained numerous affairs while writing about authenticity 
Essential tips for hosting your very own existentialist dinner party, complete with nihilistic cocktails! 
Whether you're a confused student forced to read "Being and Nothingness," a curious reader wanting to understand what the fuss is about, or someone who enjoys watching intellectual pretension get skewered by razor-sharp wit, this book is your perfect introduction to the man who made misery sound profound and smoking indoors seem philosophical.
