Описание: Since the 1970 and 1980s, fanzines have constituted a zone of freedom of thought, of do-it-yourself creativity and of alternatives to conventional media. This book moves beyond the usual focus on Anglophone punk scenes to consider fanzines in international contexts.
Описание: The Fast and The Furious: Drivers, Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society presents a sociological and criminological perspective critical to understanding the driver's role at the centre of road safety interventions. Such an approach is, it is argued, as crucial to an understanding of attempts to reduce road crashes, deaths and injuries as approaching such questions from an engineering or educational perspective. The book offers an explanation for the continued debate about one road safety intervention - the speed camera - by situating that debate within contemporary literature about the 'risk society' (Beck, 1992) and more broadly understood experiences of risk faced on a daily basis by drivers. Rather than a focus on risk as something that can be objectively assessed, measured and managed separately from the social context in which it is encountered, it suggests that 'risk' is something that permeates this particular debate from every angle. The book achieves its aims by utilising sociological and criminological perspectives to investigate issues such as: - the social context in which it is possible for drivers to reject official scientific expertise about crash causation and camera effectiveness - the self-defined 'respectability' of the population being problematised and its juxtaposition with a 'proper' police focus on 'real criminals' - the reconceptualisation of law-breaking as risk-taking rather than inherently 'wrong' behaviour and its consequences for the enforcement of laws based on risk assessment - the experience of being controlled by technology and of receiving what is essentially 'automated justice'. These and other issues are explored and suggested as illuminating of both the real concerns underpinning this debate and potentially instructive for future attempts to control risky behaviour both within and beyond a road safety context.
Описание: Doc Savage is the prototype of the modern fictional superhero. The character exploded onto the scene in 1933, with the Great Depression and the gathering clouds of war as a cultural backdrop. In this volume, the adventure series is examined in relation to historical events and the changing tastes of readers, with special attention paid to the horror and science fiction elements.
Описание: The book covers all the details concerning our philosophy of government, which is modeled on the philosophy of Aristotle but the Obama administration defacto switched it to that of the philosophy of Plato and an emperor who makes his own law. The book provides insight into the bad decisions and incompetence of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Leon Panetta. Clearly, they were more worried about covering up ill-conceived, illegal, and arguably treasonous program than saving the lives of the brave men who put everything on the line for their country in Fast and Furious (border agent) and Benghazi-Chris Stevens, ambassador; Sean Smith, US State Department; Glen Doherty, former Seal; and Tyron Woods, former Seal. The book shows how our national government has become so out of step with our Constitution that men, not laws, now run our country. The Hillary statement after the deaths of the brave Seals stands out here for our form of government. Her question is relevant. "What difference does it make?" It makes a great deal of difference. Read the book to see why.

Описание: Los Angeles is as much concept as city, set in a desert that flows to the sea; that ends in the sand where an ocean begins whose horizon recedes in the sunset; a city where migr s and the children of immigrants have come to make their dreams come true. It is a mix of the sublime and the obvious, of the new and the nouveau, of the selfless and the selfish. It is as delicate as the quality of the light, the air and the surf; and as ephemeral. It is about the outdoors and about what happens behind closed doors. Life is lived in LA in a garden of unlimited potential, a crap game where people believe that, at any moment, one well placed bet can change your life. Tommywood covers this waterfront, filtering the landscape through a very personal lens. Writing Tommywood has allowed me to explore the city I live in and become more engaged and involved in the intellectual and dream life here. I've been able to interview icons as disparate as architect Frank Gehry, French philosopher Bernard Henri-Levy and legendary producer Robert Evans. I've had a backstage tour of Disney Hall, visited a charter school in South Central, and was a given a tour of his home by painter R.B. Kitaj before his untimely death.
