Let Me Tell You What I Mean

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Addressing Deepfakes

Seit es Informationen gibt, gibt es auch Täuschung. "Fake News" sind kein Kind des digitalen Zeitalters, sondern begleiten die Menschheit seit Jahrtausenden. Schon immer wurden Geschichten erfunden, um Macht zu sichern, Gegner zu diffamieren, Kriege zu rechtfertigen oder die öffentliche Meinung zu lenken. Von der Ur- und Frühgeschichte über Antike und Mittelalter bis hinein in die Moderne zeigt dieses Buch, wie beharrlich sich Unwahrheiten halten - und warum sie so verführerisch sind.

Die Reise beginnt in der Steinzeit: Warum war das Leben früherer Menschen weit komplexer, kreativer und sozialer, als wir es uns vorstellen? Was sagt der Untergang der Neandertaler wirklich über uns aus? Weiter geht es in Antike und Mittelalter: Pyramiden ohne Sklavenketten, Wikinger ohne Hörnerhelme, Päpstinnen, erfundene Foltergeräte, goldene Städte und heroische Kreuzzugserzählungen - sorgfältig geprüft und entzaubert.

Im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert zeigt sich, wie Medien und Politik ganze Nationen in die Irre führen konnten: vom "Great Moon Hoax" über manipulierte Depeschen und falsche Fossilien bis zu Propagandamärchen der Weltkriege und geschickt inszenierten Fotowahrheiten. Schließlich führt der Blick in unsere Gegenwart: Roswell und Kalter Krieg, Klimaleugnung, Kriegslegenden, Verschwörungserzählungen rund um 9/11, Pizzagate, Wahlbetrug, QAnon - und viele weitere Beispiele dafür, wie alte Muster in neuen Gewändern wiederkehren.

Jedes Kapitel betrachtet eine bekannte Behauptung, rekonstruiert ihre Entstehung, prüft die Belege - und erklärt, weshalb der Mythos dennoch überlebt(e). Verständlich, faktenreich und mit feinem Humor lädt dieses Buch dazu ein, den eigenen Blick zu schärfen. Denn Geschichte ist nicht das, was am lautesten erzählt wird - sondern das, was wir kritisch hinterfragen und sorgfältig prüfen.

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Clashes with Copyright Law

Digitising Cultural Heritage

From bestselling and award-winning author and professor Elizabeth McCracken comes an irresistible look at the art of writing.Writing can feel like an endless series of decisions. How does one face the blank page? Move a character around a room? Deal with time? Undertake revision? The good and bad news is that in fiction writing, there are no definitive answers to such questions: writers must come up with their own. Elizabeth McCracken, author of bestselling novels, National Book Award long-listed story collections, and a highly praised memoir, has been teaching for more than thirty-five years, guiding her many students through their own answers.In A Long Game, she shares insights gleaned along the way, offering practical tips and incisive thoughts about her own work as an artist. The book covers: <ul><li>Understanding and developing characters</li><li>Plot, and what to do if it eludes you</li><li>Her thoughts on common writing “rules”</li><li>And of course, the Butter Cow Lady of the Iowa State Fair and her work as it relates to revision</li></ul> Writing “is a long game,” she notes. “What matters is that you learn to get work done in the way that is possible for you, through consistency or panic. Through self-recrimination or self-delusion or self-forgiveness: every life needs all three.” As much a book about the life of a working artist as it is a guide to thinking about fiction, A Long Game is a revelatory and indispensable resource for any writer.

Notes on Writing Fiction

A Long Game

This clear and accessible book addresses three key questions: What is narrative? How can we talk about narrative? How does audience participation relate to this? As media landscapes shift, new questions arise over what constitutes a 'narrative text', from graphic novels to twitter accounts, web series and computer games. Siobhan O'Flynn provides students, teachers and practitioners a new theoretical framework in which to discuss and analyse this continually evolving area. Supported by a website featuring interviews and teaching material, this book introduces the key thinkers and critical concepts in the fields, drawing connections and filling gaps, opening up a new way of thinking about digital narrative.

Mapping Digital Narrativity

Elon Musk ist der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Tesla machte ihn zum dreihundertfachen Milliardär, mit seinem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink beeinflusst er das Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine. Sein Social-Media-Netzwerk X nutzt Musk als Bühne für seine persönliche Propaganda. Im Herbst 2024 kaufte er sich auch noch in die US-Regierung ein. 
Musk inszeniert sich als Retter der Zivilisation, doch sein Geniegestus birgt eine erschreckende Kehrseite: Ungewöhnlich viele Arbeitsunfälle in seinen Fabriken, gefährliche Fehler des Tesla-Autopiloten und zahllose gebrochene Versprechen werfen einen dunklen Schatten auf seinen Erfolg. 
Die Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden reißen in diesem Buch Musks Fassade ein. Sie analysieren interne Tesla-Daten, werten Gerichtsakten aus und sprechen mit Kunden, Mitarbeitern und Hinterbliebenen. Ihre Recherchen zeigen einen Konzern außer Kontrolle und einen Chef ohne Skrupel. Sie sind ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was die Welt von Musk als erstem globalen Oligarchen zu erwarten hat. 
'Ich habe kein Problem damit, gehasst zu werden', sagt Elon Musk. Seine Biografie gleicht einer Kaskade von Kämpfen - mit seinen Mitarbeitern, seinen Geschäftspartnern und in seinen privaten Beziehungen. Nun ist er der Schattenpräsident der USA und greift über sein Netzwerk X weltweit in die Politik ein. Musk geriert sich als Schutzpatron für rechte und rechtsextreme Politiker. Die preisgekrönten Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden zeichnen das Porträt eines libertären Techno-Autokraten, der keine Grenzen akzeptiert. Sein Motto: Die Welt gehört ihm, alle anderen leben nur darin.&nbsp;Aktualisierte und leicht überarbeitete Neuauflage nach den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen in der US-Regierung und rund um das Tesla-Werk in der brandenburgischen Gemeinde Grünheide.

WE NEED MORE LEADERS. From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more than now. We need people who are willing to fill the leadership void. People who will embrace the influence they have. People who believe in improving society and workplace culture - not only because it makes life better, but because it is proven to yield positive results. The Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their environment. Over fourteen promises, it seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and workplace and social observation with the latest research, to provide practical, proven tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. It is not a self-help book. It is a how-to guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most unlikely of people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary. John Amaechi well understands the responsibilities and potential that come with being a giant. The Promises of Giants is the product of a lifetime spent observing and studying effective leadership - from accompanying his mother's visits to her dying patients to competing at the highest levels of professional sport, through two decades of management consulting with multinational corporations.

The Promises of Giants

The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

Why should debtors who default on their obligations be forgiven? Focusing on this central question at the heart of bankruptcy, this book challenges the theoretical foundations of insolvency law, exploring the economic and moral rationales for the law's decision to wipe the slate clean.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this book addresses how adjudicators decide cases by considering the influence of psychology, philosophy, legal education, film, literature, political economy, political ecology, judicial appointments, history, and climate science on their decision-making and ultimately on the (inconsistent) outcomes in climate cases. Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania. In all, the volume will: - Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far - Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various - Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided
