Summary

In "Ethics in Service," William H. Taft delves into the intricate relationship between ethical principles and public service. This work, suffused with a clear and engaging prose style, navigates the complex moral quandaries faced by public servants and offers a comprehensive framework for ethical decision-making. Positioned within the broader context of early 20th-century American moral philosophy, Taft draws on an array of historical examples, legal precedents, and philosophical arguments to underscore the necessity of ethics as the backbone of effective governance and social responsibility. William H. Taft, the 27th President of the United States, was deeply influenced by his extensive experience in law and public office. His tenure in various governmental roles endowed him with a pragmatic understanding of the ethical challenges inherent in public service. This background not only lends credibility to his arguments but also reflects his lifelong commitment to the ideals of civic duty and integrity, which continue to resonate in conversations around governance today. "Ethics in Service" is a vital read for anyone invested in the fields of public administration, political science, and ethics. Taft's insightful examination of morals in governmental positions provides timeless relevance and guidance for contemporary leaders, aiming to cultivate a culture of responsibility and transparency in service.

    From one of Mexico's most exciting young writers, a cosmopolitan and candid essay collection exploring life in cities across the world and reflecting on the transformative importance of literature in understanding ourselves 
 
 
 
In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaña París explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal—an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid—a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? 
 
 
 
Saldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, "a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness" (El País).

    From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.
