Summary

"Criminal Justice Reform" presents a comprehensive examination of America's legal system, focusing on the striking reality that the United States, with just 5% of the world's population, houses 25% of global prison inmates. This data-driven analysis explores the interconnected challenges of structural inequities, mass incarceration's economic impact, and the potential of evidence-based rehabilitation programs to transform the current system.

 
The book methodically progresses from an historical overview of criminal justice since the 1970s through detailed examinations of key issues like mandatory minimum sentences and three-strikes laws. By combining quantitative data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics with qualitative research from legal scholars and criminologists, it builds a compelling case that current practices often perpetuate rather than prevent criminal behavior. The analysis is particularly noteworthy for its integration of international perspectives, examining successful reform models from countries like Norway and Portugal.

 
What sets this work apart is its practical approach to reform, offering concrete solutions backed by empirical evidence rather than theoretical frameworks alone. The book explores emerging strategies such as risk assessment tools and restorative justice practices, while carefully evaluating their effectiveness. For practitioners and policymakers, it provides detailed implementation guidelines complete with cost-benefit analyses, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand or advance meaningful changes in America's criminal justice system.

As Health Secretary, Matt Hancock was at the forefront of Britain's battle against the virus, trying to steer the country through the crisis in a world where information was scarce, judgements huge and the roadmap non-existent.

Recounting the most important decisions in the race to develop a vaccine in record time and to build a nationwide testing capacity from the ground up, Pandemic Diaries provides the definitive account of Britain's battle to turn the tide against Covid-19. Crucially, it also offers an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn to be prepared for next time – because there will be a next time.

    NOT Accountable - Rethinking the...

    "Elected leaders come and go, but public unions just say no." Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. 
 
 
 
Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. 
 
 
 
The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls. Public employees have a fiduciary duty to serve the public and should not be allowed to organize politically to harm the public.

    Description of the goal of the e-book: present a critical and alternative approach in relation to Manson's book, seeking to stimulate further reflection on the topic and offer new perspectives to readers.The book "The Subtle Art of Liging the F*dse" by Mark Manson has become a great sales success, presenting a unique and unusable approach to achieving a better life. With his irreverent and stripped style, Manson proposes a strategy that involves basically failing to care about things that aren't worth it and focus on the important stuff.However, although it has won many readers and fans, Manson's approach has been the subject of criticism for being simplistic and shallow in some respects. It is rightly with the aim of presenting a critical and alternative vision in relation to Manson's book that this e-book was created.Over the next few pages, we will present a detailed analysis of each of the main points of Manson's approach, looking to show its limitations and flaws, as well as present new perspectives and more complete approaches to a better life.Our goal is not to undeserving Manson's oeuvre, but rather to stimulate further reflection on the topic, offering readers a more critical and comprehensive view on how to live a more full and satisfying life. We hope that this e-book will be a valuable source of insights and reflections for all those who wish to achieve a better life, in a more healthy, realistic and complete way.

    Awakening the Spirit of America...

    Franklin Roosevelt awoke on September 1, 1939 to the news that Germany invaded Poland, signaling the start of World War II. The president warned for years that Hitler's fascist regime posed an existential threat to democracy, but the American public remained stubbornly isolationist as fascist sympathizing groups, egged on by right wing media stars promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, plotted to overthrow the president. 
 
 
 
The situation was dire, and Roosevelt found himself facing an unexpected adversary: Charles Lindbergh. Wildly popular, the famed aviator's youthful charm, plainspoken rhetoric, and media magnetism earned him a massive following as he led an attack on FDR's policies. The German government provided secret funds to Lindbergh's Nazi followers as he led the radical America First Committee in an effort to prevent Roosevelt from aiding England's survival—and the world's. 
 
 
 
Awakening the Spirit of America shows how Roosevelt overcame the forces aligned against him in a war against fascism. Paul Sparrow, former director of the FDR Presidential Library, reveals how FDR's triumph of leadership was by no means a foregone conclusion. Awakening the Spirit of America provides a riveting account of FDR's ultimate victory over pro-Nazi isolationists and provides vital insight into American history and an iconic president.

    Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

    Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
Inside, you’ll learn: 
What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.
