Sinossi

"Violence in Society" presents a comprehensive examination of aggressive behavior in modern communities, exploring the intricate web of factors that contribute to societal violence. Through a systematic analysis that bridges multiple disciplines, including social psychology, neuroscience, and criminology, the book reveals how violence emerges from the complex interaction of individual predispositions, environmental triggers, and social learning processes.The book's unique approach combines quantitative data from behavioral studies with qualitative insights from community interventions, presenting three core areas of investigation: psychological foundations of aggression, media influence on violent behavior, and sociocultural mechanisms that shape violent conduct. Through careful examination of longitudinal studies and brain imaging research, it demonstrates that violence is not an inevitable aspect of society but rather a product of identifiable and modifiable factors, including social inequality, media consumption patterns, and cultural norms.Starting with the neurobiological foundations of aggressive behavior, the book progresses through an analysis of media's role in normalizing violence before examining broader sociocultural factors. What sets this work apart is its practical orientation, offering evidence-based strategies for violence prevention while maintaining scholarly rigor. The text serves both as an academic resource and a practical guide for professionals in social services, law enforcement, and public policy, providing specific frameworks for developing intervention programs and creating safer community environments.

Sam Jonah And The Remaking of...

A.A. Taylor

Sam Jonah and the remaking of Ashanti recounts the inspirational life of one of Africa's most prominent black businessmen. From working underground as a shovel boy to his appointment as the CEO of the trailblazing African gold mining company, Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, Sam Jonah's determination to surmount every obstacle in a career strewn with hurdles makes for compelling reading. 
Frenzied deals, boardroom cliffhangers, political scandal and private battles punctuate this unique account of the challenges of conducting 'First World' business in the 'Third World'. Through Jonah's corporate leadership we explore the paradox that a continent so richly endowed with gold and other minerals should find itself in such dire poverty. It is a hopeful story about breaking the confines of one's circumstances, not just for Africans but for individuals the world over.

Unholy Traffic An - Slave...

Robert K. D. Colby

The Confederate States of America was born in defense of slavery. Between Fort Sumter to Appomattox, Confederates bought and sold thousands African American men, women, and children. These transactions in humanity made the internal slave trade a cornerstone of Confederate society, a bulwark of the Rebel economy, and a central part of the experience of the Civil War for all inhabiting the American South. 
 
 
 
As An Unholy Traffic shows, slave trading helped Southerners survive and fight the Civil War, as well as to build the future for which they fought. They mitigated the crises the war spawned by buying and selling enslaved people, using this commerce to navigate food shortages, unsettled gender roles, the demands of military service, and other hardships on the homefront. Some Rebels speculated wildly in human property, investing in slaves to ward off inflation and to buy shares in the slaveholding nation they hoped to create. Others traded people to counter the advance of emancipation. 
 
 
 
Offering an original perspective on the intersections of slavery, capitalism, the Civil War, and emancipation, Robert K. D. Colby illuminates the place of the peculiar institution within the Confederate mind, the ways in which it underpinned the CSA's war effort, and its impact on those attempting to seize their freedom.

The Air War Through German Eyes...

Jonathan Trigg

Starting with leaflet drops in 1940, the aerial offensive against the Nazis’ homeland grew into a huge armada that pulverised much of Germany, seriously damaging her ability to make war and killing hundreds of thousands. By day, the Flying Fortresses of the Mighty Eighth US Airforce confronted the day fighters of Luftflotte Reich, and then it was the turn of Bomber Command’s Lancasters to fight off the deadly predators of the Nachtjagd (night hunters). The tactics and technology of Allied escort fighters evolved quickly though the war years, as they did for the defending German fighters. For the Allied airmen who fought this war the price was frighteningly high, for those who opposed them – in the air and on the ground – it was even higher. 
 
As the bombing increased, Nazi high command was forced to devote more and more resources to try and defeat the Allied campaign, just when those same resources were desperately needed elsewhere, both on the Russian Front and, after D-Day on 6 June 1944, on the new Western Front. Written from the ‘other side’ and told as much as possible through the words of the veterans, this is an important book on one of the most controversial campaigns of the Second World War.
