Write Yourself Happy

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Surveillance, Care, and the Policing of Violent Digital Images

Facing the Child

Horst Thode präsentiert eine fiktionale, dystopische ­Version der Wiedervereinigung unter umgekehrten ­Vorzeichen - was wäre gewesen, wenn?
 

 Für Millionen Bundesbürger stellten sich in den Tagen der Wiedervereinigung Fragen wie: 'Was wird aus mir? Was wird aus uns? Wie werden die neuen Machthaber rea­gie­ren?' Der Protagonist gerät in diesen Tagen trotz größter Vorsicht in Haft und beschreibt in einem Erzählstrang seine Erfahrungen rund um die verstörenden und willkürlichen Erlebnisse mit der Justiz der neuen Deutschen Demo­kra­tischen Republik. In einem zweiten Erzählstrang erfahren wir in einer Rückblende über seine Kindheit und Jugend. Durch einen erzählerischen Kunstgriff laufen diese beiden Erzählstränge zum Ende des Romans zu einem virtuosen Finale zusammen.

Die Wiedervereinigung im spiegelnden Spiegel

Fire Safety Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the legislative framework that governs fire safety in England and Wales. Taking into account the significant amendments that have followed the tragic events of Grenfell Tower, it explains who is subject to duties under the order and what those duties are. It then deals with enforcement, covering the duties on enforcing authorities and the investigatory powers available to them, before looking at both the bringing of criminal proceedings and the powers to issue alteration, prohibition and enforcement notices. Accessible to both those new to the field and experienced legal practitioners, and to fire safety inspectors as well as risk assessors, it serves not only as a reference work, but also provides a detailed practical guide for those working in this area on a daily basis. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.

Fire Safety Law and Practice

'El día en que lo iban a matar, Santiago Nasar se levantó a las 5.30 de la mañana para esperar el buque en que llegaba el obispo.' Acaso sea Crónica de una muerte anunciada la obra más 'realista' de Gabriel García Márquez, pues se basa en un hecho histórico acontecido en la tierra natal del escritor. Cuando empieza la novela, ya se sabe que los hermanos Vicario van a matar a Santiago Nasar -de hecho, ya le han matado- para vengar el honor ultrajado de su hermana µngela, pero el relato termina precisamente en el momento en que Santiago Nasar muere. El tiempo cíclico, tan utilizado por García Márquez en sus obras, reaparece aquí minuciosamente descompuesto en cada uno de sus momentos, reconstruido prolija y exactamente por el narrador, que va dando cuenta de lo que sucedió mucho tiempo atrás, que avanza y retrocede en su relato y hasta llega mucho tiempo después para contar el destino de los supervivientes. La acción es, a un tiempo, colectiva y personal, clara y ambigua, y atrapa al lector desde un principio, aunque este conozca el desenlace de la trama. La dialéctica entre mito y realidad se ve potenciada aquí, una vez más, por una prosa tan cargada de fascinación que la eleva hasta las fronteras de la leyenda. Julio Cortázar dijo... 'Un genio.'

Crónica de una muerte anunciada / Chronicle of a Death Foretold

'That rare treasure, a perfect novel' TIME A name is the first story that attaches itself to a life. Consider mine: Stanley Alban Marriott Obeysekere. It tells of geography, history, love and uncertainty. Stanley Obeysekere, a wealthy lawyer in colonial Ceylon, is a staunch believer in British justice. When the murder of a tea planter baffles the island, he seizes the chance to solve the case, securing fame as 'our Sherlock Holmes'. But his triumph comes at a price. With devastating precision, Michelle de Kretser traces the disintegration of a man, a family and a society as change arrives and the empire crumbles. A dazzling and savage novel.

The Dog Park Murders

A cozy, seasonal romance-mystery in which a grumpy café owner teams up with a sunshiny pet groomer to solve a murder that's shocked the small town of Labrador Falls. First book in the Dog Park Murders miniseries that's a perfect blend of Only Murders in the Building and The Pumpkin Spice Café. A killer has been unleashed in their small town… Juliette Macintyre has never met a dog she didn’t love. For one thing, dogs don’t judge, unlike the human residents of Labrador Falls. Most locals look at her with suspicion because her father was once a dirty cop, even though Juliette is upbeat, helpful, and the best pet groomer around. She just needs to prove it…starting with new resident Joel Cunningham, an enigma wrapped in a checked shirt and a scowl. Joel runs the Brewed Awakening café, where the coffee is as smooth as Joel is surly. He doesn’t serve pumpkin spice, he doesn’t chitchat, and he claims he doesn’t like dogs. Yet when Juliette stumbles upon a dead body in the dog park, strangled with one of her custom leashes, Joel becomes an unexpected ally. He has no intention of opening up, to either his cute neighbor or the foster pup she foists on him. But he can’t let a biased detective frame Juliette for murder. Whoever killed the widely loathed Maurice Allsop may be desperate enough to strike again. If they can just ignore their chemistry and focus on the clues, Juliette and Joel might be able to solve the case—before somebody else bites the dust… For fans of... <ul> <li>Grumpy/Sunshine Romance</li> <li>Small-Town Cozy Mystery</li> <li>Amateur Sleuths</li> <li>Twisty-Turny Whodunits</li> <li>Pet Sidekicks</li></ul> "With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!"&nbsp; —Fresh Fiction

Bhogal on Anti-Social Behaviour

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Classic Tales of Christmas (Deluxe Leatherbound Edition)

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.
