Sinopsis

"Substance Abuse Costs" offers a crucial examination of the broad economic and social burdens stemming from drug misuse, essential for shaping public policy. By comprehensively assessing these costs, the book highlights the often-underestimated impact on society. It explores both direct economic factors, like healthcare expenditures and law enforcement expenses, and indirect social consequences, such as increased crime rates and strains on social welfare systems. Understanding these multifaceted costs is crucial for crafting effective prevention and treatment strategies.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with historical trends and methodological frameworks for cost analysis. It then delves into detailed analyses of specific cost categories, supported by government reports and academic studies. One intriguing fact is the consideration of lost productivity as a significant economic drain, alongside healthcare and criminal justice costs. Another is the emphasis on the social consequences, which are frequently overlooked in traditional cost assessments.

 
The book's unique value lies in its holistic approach, considering both economic and social dimensions to provide a comprehensive understanding. It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based analyses to inform policy debates and promote effective interventions, ultimately aiming to improve resource allocation and public health outcomes. This approach offers a more nuanced perspective on the true burden of substance abuse on society.

Right Down + Circle - Tony...

Cole Nowicki

An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
		 
Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
		 
In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
		 
Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

Hearts of Darkness - Serial...

Jana Monroe, Joe Navarro

For fans of Mindhunter and Criminal Minds, a chilling account of a woman facing down serial killers as one of the first female profilers of the FBI Behavioral Sciences Unit and real-life model for The Silence of the Lambs’s Clarice Starling 
 
"Jana Monroe is the single most influential woman to ever serve in the FBI." —Joe Navarro, bestselling author of What Every BODY Is Saying 
 
Jana Monroe was no ordinary cop: a cofounder of—and, at the time, the only female agent in—the world-renowned FBI Behavioral Sciences Unit at Quantico, over the course of her career she consulted on more than 850 homicide cases. Through her work, she and her BSU colleagues crossed paths with Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Edmund Kemper, Aileen Wuornos, and hundreds of other murderers; were at the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco; traced the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh’s tracks; and, in the wake of 9/11, headed up a new and expanded FBI headquarters in Las Vegas. 
 
But to the people who know her best, Monroe is the BSU analyst upon whom the film character of Clarice (Jodie Foster) in The Silence of the Lambs was modeled; she even helped train Foster for the role. Over the course of an utterly astonishing and, until now, relatively anonymous career in shaping law enforcement and intelligence analysis, her legacy is without parallel yet not known to the public. Hearts of Darkness is Monroe’s incredible story and will have Monroe—now retired from the FBI—finally stepping out from the shadows to tell the range of gripping, sometimes gruesome, and always remarkable tales from the top moments of a life chasing the monsters among us. Hearts of Darkness will shock, enthrall, educate, and examine both extremes of human behavior—good and evil—as well as the daily norm found in the middle of this spectrum.
