Описание: Successful democracies rely on an active citizenry. They require citizens to participate by voting, serving on juries, and running for office. But what happens when those citizens purposefully opt out of politics? Exit—the act of leaving—is often thought of as purely instinctual, a part of the human ""fight or flight"" response, or, alternatively, motivated by an anti-participatory, self-centered impulse. However, in this eye-opening book, Jennet Kirkpatrick argues that the concept of exit deserves closer scrutiny. She names and examines several examples of political withdrawal, from Thoreau decamping to Walden to slaves fleeing to the North during the Civil War. In doing so, Kirkpatrick not only explores what happens when people make the decision to remove themselves, but also expands our understanding of exit as a political act, illustrating how political systems change in the aftermath of actual or threatened departure. Moreover, she reframes the decision to refuse to play along—whether as a fugitive slave, a dissident who is exiled but whose influence remains, or a government in exile—as one that shapes political discourse, historically and today.
Описание: UPDATED "2018 EDITION" -- Drawing upon the wisdom and experiences of recovered addicts and recovery professionals, "Quitting Crystal Meth" is a concise handbook that explains what you'll experience during the first year of recovery from crystal methamphetamine. It is a no-nonsense how-to manual written by a recovered meth addict for the addict who wants to quit. Joseph Sharp explains, "I wrote the book I wished I'd had when I was trying to quit-a straightforward manual that would give me some idea of what to expect and better my chances at quitting ice forever." Quitting Crystal Meth is divided along the five stages of meth recovery, including the chapters: "Withdrawal (day 0 to 15)," "The Honeymoon (day 16 to 45)," "The Wall (6 weeks to 4 months)," "Adjustment (months 4 to 6)," "Ongoing Recovery (months 6 to 12)" and "A Year and Beyond." Additional chapters look at "Crystal Meth Anonymous Meetings - What It's All About" and "What About Relapse?" Upbeat and positive, QUITTING CRYSTAL METH: WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO DO approaches the reader with respect and the disease of addiction with dignity.
Описание: Discover why persistence isn`t always the answer although we`re wired to persist, and why we need to be able to quit to get the most out of life
Описание: Michael G. Titelbaum presents a new Bayesian framework for modeling rational degrees of belief-the first of its kind to represent rational requirements on agents who undergo certainty loss. He compares the framework to alternative solutions, and applies it to cases in epistemology, decision theory, the theory of identity, and quantum mechanics.
