Prisons and Imprisonment An Introduction
Prisons and Imprisonment: An Introduction
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031093003 | 497 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This textbook examines prisons and imprisonment. Historically, prisons and prisoners have been a source of interest to the general public. However, despite near universal acceptance of imprisonment as a feature of society, we know relatively little about the reality of prison life, or the effects it has on individuals and communities. Using academic scholarship, empirical research, government papers, policy reports, and accounts from lived experiences of the institution, this book analyses the complexities and contradictions of prison life, the place of the prison in twenty-first century society, and its prospects for the future. This book will introduce readers to key debates surrounding the use of imprisonment, and challenge readers to interrogate conventional perspectives on an institution that reflects the society in which it is situated.

Presidential Elections and Majority Rule
Edward B. Foley, "Presidential Elections and Majority Rule: The Rise, Demise, and Potential Restoration of the Jeffersonian Electoral College"
English | 2020 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 0190060158 | EPUB | 0,9 mb
The Electoral College that governs America has been with us since 1804, when Thomas Jefferson's supporters redesigned it for his re-election. The Jeffersonians were motivated by the principle of majority rule. Gone were the days when a president would be elected by acclamation, as George Washington had been. Instead, given the emergence of intense two-party competition, the Jeffersonians wanted to make sure that the Electoral College awarded the presidency to the candidate of the majority, rather than minority, party. They also envisioned that a candidate would win by amassing a majority of Electoral College votes secured from states where the candidate's party was in the majority.

Preaching Fools The Gospel as a Rhetoric of Folly
Charles L. Campbell, Johan H. Cilliers, "Preaching Fools: The Gospel as a Rhetoric of Folly"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1602583668, 160258365X | PDF | pages: 273 | 3.9 mb
Across national and cultural borders, the archetype of the fool has played a significant role in how communities interpret and ascribe identity. As Charles Campbell and Johan Cilliers remind us, the Christian preacher, tasked with delivering a paradoxical gospel, is a fool. In a delicate exploration with enlightening results, Preaching Fools uses a diverse representation of fools and foolish actions to show how modern preaching is inseparable from the folly of the cross. Campbell and Cilliers walk the fine line between the ugliness and beauty of the gospel and challenge readers toward a deeper engagement with its unsettling message.

Playboy Swings How Hugh Hefner and Playboy Changed the Face of Music
Patty Farmer, "Playboy Swings: How Hugh Hefner and Playboy Changed the Face of Music"
English | ISBN: 0825307880 | 2015 | 393 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
Playboy―the magazine, the empire, the lifestyle―is one of the world's best-known brands. Since the launch of Playboy magazine in 1953, two elements have been remarkably consistent: the first, obviously, is the celebration of nubile, female flesh. The second, readers may be surprised to learn, is Playboy's involvement in the music scene. The Playboy experience was never just about sex but about lifestyle. Music―particularly the finest jazz, a personal passion of Hefner's―has always been an essential component of that lifestyle.
