A lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area, David Yamane became a new gun owner as a 42-year-old and embarked on an immersive twelve-year study of American gun culture. Weaving together his personal experiences and sociological observations to explain why guns make sense to those who own them, he illuminates defensive gun ownership, the risk of negative outcomes associated with firearms, and what responsible gun ownership looks like in the twenty-first century. This book lowers the heat on America’s inflamed arguments about firearms and models the civil discussions we desperately need.

Nei social network ormai ci siamo tutti. È inutile sostenere che non abbiamo un profilo o non ci entriamo, perché comunque i social parlano di noi, e dentro c’è di certo qualcuno che lo fa. Il nostro nome e cognome, un commento, una frase detta, una foto con amici… basta fare il semplice esperimento di ricerca su Google per nome e cognome e scopriamo che tra i risultati di maggiore rilievo ci sono proprio i social, e questo anche per chi non ha un proprio profilo. Com’è possibile? Semplice. Questi siti hanno smesso di essere tali, e sono diventati veri e propri canali comunicativi...

The web offers extraordinary opportunities for communication, disintermediation and organisation.However, this characteristic of being a “tool of opportunity” is not without risks, precisely because disintermediation precludes the means of verifying news – for better or for worse, and sometimes limiting knowledge – which was the basis of information. It should not be forgotten that this also constitutes the foundation of democracies, contributing to the formation of a conscious awareness, on the basis of which – at least in theory – forms civic awareness and therefore informed ...

On a 90-degree day in Los Angeles, bus riders across the city line up behind the shadows cast by street signs and telephone poles, looking for a little relief from the sun’s glaring heat. Every summer such scenes play out in cities across the United States, and as Sam Bloch argues, we ignore the benefits of shade at our own peril. Heatwaves are now the country’s deadliest natural disasters with victims concentrated in poorer, less shady areas. Public health, mental health, and crime statistics are worse in neighborhoods without it. For some, finding shade is a matter of life and death.

This book is a new vision of the most divisive political issue in Australia today. Aboriginal politics are now dominated by demands for reconciliation, self-determination, and acknowledgment of culture. But these concepts – defined and promoted by an urban elite of educated Aboriginal activists – hide the bigger truth that most people of Aboriginal descent today are already integrated into the wider society and are doing well, if belatedly. More importantly, the Aboriginal industry fails to address the needs of the 20 per cent minority of their population who still live in despair.

Step inside the glittering chaos of human connection, where charm is currency and cunning is king. In *Deception: The Fox Guarding the Hen House*, JD Arden strips away the polite veneer to reveal the raw, unvarnished truth about why the slyest characters always seem to be running the show—and why we act shocked when the feathers start flying. This isn’t your typical self-help or psychology tome. Arden’s razor-sharp prose cuts through the noise to expose the anatomy of lies, from the harmless fib to the calculated con. Whether it’s office politics, bedroom secrets, or the digital ...

This book embarks on a journey into the heart of the American experience, exploring the enduring legacies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X within the complex social and political landscape of contemporary America. While their methods differed dramatically, their shared aspiration for a more just and equitable future for Black Americans remains undeniably powerful. We examine how the philosophies of these two iconic figures offer not only valuable historical insights but also actionable pathways for navigating present-day challenges.
