  I Want to Burn this Place Down -...

  A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left 
  At the heart of this funny, acerbic, and bravely honest book of essays is Maris Kreizman, a former rule follower and ambition monster who once believed the following truths to be self-evident: that working very hard would lead to admission to a good college, which would lead to a good job at a good company, which would then lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose, along with adequate health care and eventual home ownership and plenty of money waiting in a retirement account. Like any good Democrat and feminist, she believed that if she just worked hard and played by the rules, she was guaranteed a safe and comfortable life. 
  Now in her forties, the only thing Maris Kreizman knows for sure is that she no longer has faith in American institutions or any of their hollow promises. Now she knows that the rules are meant to serve some folks better than others; and, actually, they serve no one all that well—not even Kreizman. Disturbed by the depth and scope of the liberal myths in which she once so fervently believed, Kreizman takes readers on an intimate journey that revisits some of her most profound revelations, demonstrating that it’s never too late to become radicalized. 
  With Kreizman’s signature wit and blunt self-reflection, and more than a little transformative rage, I Want to Burn This Place Down is a book for anyone who wishes they could go back in time to give their younger selves the real truth about the fractured country they have inherited—and the encouragement to rebuild something better in its place.

  Discover The Second Brain: AI and the Human Right to Intelligence, a groundbreaking audiobook by author and narrator G S Steele, published by Audiobook Publishing Services. In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of life, this thought-provoking work argues that access to AI should be a fundamental human right. 
  As the divide between those who control advanced technology and those left behind grows, The Second Brain exposes the risks of AI monopolization, warning against its potential to become a tool of exploitation rather than empowerment. Drawing on historical examples of technological inequality, G S Steele reveals how societies have long been divided by access to knowledge and power. 
  With AI now acting as a "second brain," capable of enhancing human intelligence beyond natural limits, the stakes have never been higher. This visionary audiobook explores how equitable access to AI could liberate individuals, offering a pathway to global intelligence that transcends economic, social, and political barriers. 
  Narrated by the author himself, G S Steele, this compelling audiobook challenges listeners to envision a future where intelligence is not a privilege of the elite but a right for all. The Second Brain is a call to action, providing a bold framework for harnessing AI's potential to uplift humanity and create a just, equitable future. 
  Perfect for fans of AI ethics, technology, and social justice, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the future of intelligence and equality. Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, The Second Brain is your guide to understanding why the right to intelligence is essential for a fair and empowered world.

  Crime and Civilization - The...

  In 1827 the first modern national crime statistics were published: the Compte général de l'administration de la justice criminelle en France. Before the onset of data criminology, the perception of crime relied on sources from classical antiquity, rational philosophical thought, travellers' observations, and unsystematic observations by criminal justice practitioners. With the new concept of national crime statistics, it became possible to test theories and hypotheses about crime using a shared data instrument, leading to an unprecedented avalanche of crime research by continental scholars. 
   
   
   
  Crime and Civilization: The Birth of Criminology in the Early Nineteenth Century explores the rise of data-based criminology as an intellectual field in continental Europe in the early nineteenth century. Janne Kivivuori creates a new interpretation of the era of "first criminology," one approached from the perspective of data and instruments, thus complementing the traditional story based on theories and explanatory shifts from "classicism" to "positivism" and beyond. Drawing on original French, German, and English publications, the book contextualizes the rise of criminology in wider cultural history, spanning from Enlightenment philosophers to the general rise of science in society.
