Synopsis

Addiction and Society examines the wide-ranging effects of drug addiction on communities and the resources meant to support them. It highlights how addiction disrupts social cohesion, burdens public services, and raises ethical questions about treatment and prevention. The book argues that addiction is not just an individual struggle but a complex social issue deeply rooted in inequality and community breakdown. For example, the economic impact includes healthcare costs, law enforcement expenditures, and lost productivity, all of which strain public resources. 

 
The book provides a sociological analysis of addiction's impact on families, social networks, and its connection to crime and violence. It uses sociological theories to understand the social determinants of drug addiction, moving beyond individual-focused approaches. Supported by research, including national surveys and ethnographic studies, the book advocates for comprehensive, community-based solutions. 

 
The book unfolds logically, starting with a sociological definition of addiction and progressing through impacts on social structures before concluding with prevention and treatment strategies. A key strength of Addiction and Society lies in its integration of sociological theory with empirical data, offering a nuanced perspective on addiction's social consequences. It aims to engage scholars, public health professionals, and community leaders, providing a framework for understanding and addressing the social challenges posed by drug addiction.

    The Floating University -...

    Tamson Pietsch

    In 1926, New York University professor James E. Lough—an educational reformer with big dreams—embarked on a bold experiment he called the Floating University. Lough believed that taking five hundred American college students around the globe by ship would not only make them better citizens of the world but would demonstrate a model for responsible and productive education amid the unprecedented dangers, new technologies, and social upheavals of the post–World War I world. But the Floating University’s maiden voyage was also its last: when the ship and its passengers returned home, the project was branded a failure—the antics of students in hotel bars and port city back alleys that received worldwide press coverage were judged incompatible with educational attainment, and Lough was fired and even put under investigation by the State Department. 
      
    In her new book, Tamson Pietsch excavates a rich and meaningful picture of Lough’s grand ambition, its origins, and how it reveals an early-twentieth-century America increasingly defined both by its imperialism and the professionalization of its higher education system. As Pietsch argues, this voyage—powered by an internationalist worldview—traced the expanding tentacles of US power, even as it tried to model a new kind of experiential education. She shows that this apparent educational failure actually exposes a much larger contest over what kind of knowledge should underpin university authority, one in which direct personal experience came into conflict with academic expertise. After a journey that included stops at nearly fifty international ports and visits with figures ranging from Mussolini to Gandhi, what the students aboard the Floating University brought home was not so much knowledge of the greater world as a demonstration of their nation’s rapidly growing imperial power.

    Pop Song Piracy - Disobedient...

    The music industry’s ongoing battle against digital piracy is just the latest skirmish in a long conflict over who has the right to distribute music. Starting with music publishers’ efforts to stamp out bootleg compilations of lyric sheets in 1929, Barry Kernfeld’s Pop Song Piracy details nearly a century of disobedient music distribution from song sheets to MP3s. 
      
    In the 1940s and ’50s, Kernfeld reveals, song sheets were succeeded by fake books, unofficial volumes of melodies and lyrics for popular songs that were a key tool for musicians. Music publishers attempted to wipe out fake books, but after their efforts proved unsuccessful they published their own. Pop Song Piracy shows that this pattern of disobedience, prohibition, and assimilation recurred in each conflict over unauthorized music distribution, from European pirate radio stations to bootlegged live shows. Beneath this pattern, Kernfeld argues, there exists a complex give and take between distribution methods that merely copy existing songs (such as counterfeit CDs) and ones that transform songs into new products (such as file sharing). Ultimately, he contends, it was the music industry’s persistent lagging behind in creating innovative products that led to the very piracy it sought to eliminate.

    Trust is the cornerstone of human relationships, whether personal, professional, or societal. It is the belief that others will act with integrity, honor their commitments, and respect our boundaries. Trust provides a sense of security, allowing us to open ourselves up to others, share our vulnerabilities, and work collaboratively toward common goals. When trust is present, relationships thrive on mutual respect and understanding. However, when trust is violated, the very foundation of these relationships is shattered. 
    A trust violation occurs when someone breaks the confidence that has been placed in them. This breach can take many forms: from small betrayals like breaking a promise to major violations such as lying, cheating, or stealing. The consequences of a trust violation are profound, as they not only damage the relationship but also affect the individual’s emotional and psychological well-being. Trust violations often result in feelings of betrayal, hurt, confusion, and a loss of confidence in others. These emotional reactions can be difficult to overcome and may lead to long-lasting consequences. 
    In this book, we explore the different facets of trust violations, from their causes to their effects, as well as strategies for healing and rebuilding trust. Understanding the nature of trust violations is essential for recognizing how they affect us and those around us. By examining the psychological, emotional, and social consequences of betrayal, we can begin to understand the complexities of the experience and the challenges involved in overcoming it.
