Описание: Based on hundreds of hours of interviews and exclusive sources and access, Sandy Hook tells the story of a school shooting anditsaftermath, whena group of parents fought torescue the truth of whathappened to their children from a frenzy of online denial and conspiracizing. On December 14, 2012, twenty-six people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, including twenty children barely older than toddlers, were shot and killed. It felt like a line in the sand, on gun violence and safety. Instead, ten years on, Sandy Hook has become a foundational story, and a symbol: of how false conspiracy narratives have gained traction in our world. From a tragedy almost too terrible to fathom, the mass shooting at Sandy Hook emerged as an event some people truly believe never occurred, or was staged by the federal government as a pretext for seizing Americans' firearms. In the wake of the tragedy, relatives of the victims have been accosted on the street or at events honoring their loved ones. Some have been stalked and forced into hiding. Someone fired a gun into the home of one parent. Families were harassed online, challenged to prove the very existence of those they lost. At the center of conspiracy theorists' crusade is Alex Jones's Infowars, where hoaxers aired noxious theories and raised money for their quest to prove that the shooting didn't happen. Emboldened by online anonymity, the conspiracists' questions grew into suspicion, suspicion into demands for proof, unanswered demands into rage. This pattern of denial and attack would come to characterize some Americans' response to every major event, from mass shootings to the 2020 presidential election, in which the false belief that the election was stolen prompted the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The Sandy Hook families, their experiences as diverse as their numbers, refused to accept this. This is the story of their battle, led by the father of the youngest victim, to preserve their loved ones' legacies even in the face of threats to their own lives. Through exhaustive reporting, narrative storytelling, and intimate portraits, Sandy Hook will be the definitive book on one of the most shocking cultural ruptures of the internet age.

Описание: Making Disability Modern: Design Histories brings together leading scholars from a range of disciplinary and national perspectives to examine how designed objects and spaces contributes to the meanings of ability and disability from the late 18th century to the present day, and in homes, offices, and schools to realms of national and international politics. The contributors reveal the social role of objects - particularly those designed for use by people with disabilities, such as walking sticks, wheelchairs, and prosthetic limbs - and consider the active role that makers, users and designers take to reshape the material environment into a usable world. But it also aims to make clear that definitions of disability—and ability—are often shaped by design.

Ethel Smyth was a prolific author, including volumes of autobiographical writing, and was herself the subject of biography. After a brief introduction to the family and social context of the letters, this volume therefore can focus on the relationship and exchange of ideas between 'ES' and Elizabeth Williamson, the grand-daughter of Ethel's eldest sister Mary Hunter. In part thanks to her great-aunt, Elizabeth's Edwardian childhood led not to marriage but to a degree, work at the University of London Observatory, and the freedom to continue her studies in classical Greek. In their correspondence the two women talk about books, theatre, travel, current affairs and personal philosophies, as well as friendships and family life with all their problems and rivalries and, of course, dogs. All against the backdrop of an interleaving aristocratic, political, academic, literary and business world. The letters themselves, clearly valued by Elizabeth, almost perished three times - including once after the editor of the collection had herself inherited them. This volume is a selection, with the bulk of the collection now in the Beinecke Library at Yale.
