A century-long history of immigrant incarceration in the United StatesToday, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains an average of 37,000 migrants each night. To do so, they rely on, and pay for, the use of hundreds of local jails. But this is nothing new: the federal government has been detaining migrants in city and county jails for more than 100 years. In The Migrant's Jail, Brianna Nofil examines how a century of political, ideological, and economic exchange between the U.S. immigration bureaucracy and the criminal justice system gave rise to the world’s largest system of migrant incarceration. Migrant detention is not simply an outgrowth of mass incarceration; rather, it has propelled carceral state–building and fostered intergovernmental policing efforts since the turn of the twentieth century. From the incarceration of Chinese migrants in New York in the 1900s and 1910s to the jailing of Caribbean refugees in Gulf South lockups of the 1980s and 1990s, federal immigration authorities provided communities with a cash windfall that they used to cut taxes, reward local officials, and build bigger jails—which they then had incentive to fill. Trapped in America’s patchwork detention networks, migrants turned to courts, embassies, and the media to challenge the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Vědci měli odjakživa svá tajemství. Ale jen málokdy hrála tato tajemství tak významnou roli jako za druhé světové války. Uprostřed vývoje atomové bomby dostali šéfové projektu Manhattan znepokojivou zprávu - že je nacistické Německo ve výzkumu jaderné zbraně mnohem dál než Spojenci. S pouhými pár kilogramy uranu by Hitler dokázal zvrátit průběh války a dobýt Evropu. Různorodý tým géniů zvaný Alsos, který byl vyslán na nepřátelské území s úkolem vyzvídat, sabotovat, a dokonce i likvidovat členy nacistického Uranového spolku se pokusí tyto plány zhatit. Uznávaný autor Sam Kean přináší pravdivý příběh hrdinů, na jejichž ramenou spočíval osud celé války.

Existuje hranice, kterou by vědci při cestě za poznáním nikdy neměli překročit? Je možné ospravedlnit etické prohřešky nebo dokonce zločiny tím, že se jich lidé dopustili v zájmu dosažení vědeckého pokroku nebo jiného vyššího cíle? Můžeme posuzovat chování a postoje lidí v minulosti na základě našich současných norem? Sam Kean ve své nové knize hledá odpovědi na tyto i další komplikované otázky, ale činí to navýsost zajímavou a zábavnou formou. Dějiny vědeckého zkoumání jsou plné pozoruhodných i bizarních postav, které při své práci překračují různá tabu, zaplétají se s podsvětím a někdy dokonce skončí na popravišti. Co třeba pár dobrých historek o pirátech a otrokářích se zálibou ve vědě, vykradačích hrobů, vraždícím anatomovi, elektrickém křesle, žárlivých paleontolozích, lobotomii, atomové bombě a ruských špionech, pohlavních chorobách, teroristovi v péči psychologů a jedné zvlášť nevydařené operaci na změnu pohlaví? Jedna věc je jistá: čtení o dějinách vědy rozhodně nemusí být nuda!
