This suspenseful true story of a drug cartel hitman who got away with murder after murder in California's Central Valley over three decades reveals how the criminal justice system fails our most vulnerable immigrant communities.On the surface, fifty-eight-year-old Jose Martinez didn't seem evil or even that remarkable—just a regular neighbor, good with cars and devoted to his family. But in between taking his children to Disneyland and visiting his mom, Martinez was also one of the most skilled professional killers police had ever seen.He tracked one victim to one of the wealthiest corners of America, a horse ranch in Santa Barbara, and shot him dead in the morning sunlight, setting off a decades-long manhunt. He shot another man, a farmworker, right in front of his young wife as they drove to work in the fields. The widow would wait decades for justice. Those were murders for hire. Others he killed for vengeance.How did Martinez manage to evade law enforcement for so long with little more than a slap on the wrist? Because he understood a dark truth about the criminal justice system: if you kill the "right people"—people who are poor, who aren't white, and who don't have anyone to ...

On the afternoon of Easter Sunday, 1992, Ben Ewell''s brother, sister-in-law, and niece were all murdered. While trying to make sense of this staggering tragedy, Ben can''t help but think back through his life: the hard work and the many peaceful Sunday afternoons growing up on his family farm in Ohio in a house without a bathroom or running water; his high school antics in the 1950s; his time in Haight-Ashbury while attending law school in 1960s San Francisco; and the highs and lows, both personal and professional, of life after school. Threaded throughout these reminiscences, Ben reveals the details of the investigation of his family members'' murders - and the arrest and trial of the parties involved. In this decades-long saga, there is marriage and divorce, love and loss, family and friendship; there are political campaigns and business ventures, some failed and some fruitful. Ultimately, this is a story of perseverance in the face of tragedy, of creating opportunities out of problems, and of appreciating the gift of life and the world around us - with some humor along the way.

Would you want a world without government?In this clear and penetrating study, Ruth Kinna goes directly to the heart of this controversial ideology, explaining the influences that have shaped anarchism and the different tactics and strategies that have been used by anarchists throughout history to achieve their ends. Kinna covers themes both historical and acutely contemporary, including: Could anarchy ever really be a viable alternative to the state? Can anarchist ideals ever be consistent with the justification of violence? How has anarchism influenced the anti-globalization movement?

Why do we fear Halloween candy but not vending machines? Why do “witch hunts” recur so often in history? How dangerous are serial killers, really?The Fear Knot examines our most common deeply held fears, unpacking which are valid and which are misguided, explaining the history of how our irrational fears developed, and how we can unlearn them. We live in a world seemingly rife with danger, a villainous stranger or new deadly bacteria lurking around every corner. So how do we sort through these fears, determining which are well-founded and which have been manufactured? How can our biases and psychology allow these fears to overtake us, and how can we learn to think logically in a world driven by sensationalism? In this lively and timely tour, neuroscientist Natashia Swalve and journalism professor Ruth DeFoster lead readers through the history and psychology behind our most visible and sensational cultural fears, beginning with the most personal—fear within our bodies—and moving outward to the home, our country, and finally to our broadest society-level fears. From micro fears, like how our fear of vaccines has led to measles epidemics, to the broad existential dread associated with climate change and gun violence, The Fear Knot ...

V zápisníku z pozostalosti Alberta Marenčina sú denné záznamy datované od roku 1973 do roku 1996. Dominujú v nich úvahy o tvorbe, slobode, fantázii. „... dielo nie je jediným, ani hlavným zmyslom tvorby tak ako testament či pozostalosť nie sú hlavným zmyslom života...“ Často sa v textoch vyskytujú najbližší priatelia a ľudia s podobným osudom – Juraj Špitzer, Dominik Tatarka, Marian Váross, Alexander Matuška, Juraj Mojžiš a ďalší, s ktorými vedie dialóg, polemizuje s nimi, s ich názormi. Texty zachytávajú obdobie normalizácie, kedy bol Marenčin vylúčený zo strany a vyhodený zo Slovenského filmu. Píše o svojich umeleckých názoroch, vracia do rodiska, k vzťahu s matkou a opakovane si kladie otázku „kto som?“. „... Bol som ďaleko od domova u strýka, kde ma nik nepoznal. Spýtali sa ma. Kto si? Odkiaľ si? – a ja som musel vysvetľovať, kto som a odkiaľ som a vysvetľujúc to iným vysvetľoval som to aj sebe samému. Predstavoval som sa, niečo zavše zamlčal, niečo prikrášlil… Za niečo sa hanbil, na niečo bol hrdý. Čo všetko som zakrýval, zatajoval! Svoju lásku k mame, svoju nostalgiu – zatajoval som, že sa mi strašne cnie za domovom, že plačem za mamou, že peniaze, ktoré mi dala na utrácanie, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A Scientific American Top Ten Book of 2023If forests are the lungs of the planet, then animals migrating across oceans, streams, and mountains-eating, pooping, and dying along the way-are its heart and arteries, pumping nitrogen and phosphorus from deep-sea gorges up to mountain peaks, from the Arctic to the Caribbean. Without this conveyor belt of crucial, life-sustaining nutrients, the world would look very different. The dynamics that shape our physical world-atmospheric chemistry, geothermal forces, plate tectonics, and erosion through wind and rain-have been explored for decades. But the effects on local ecosystems of less glamorous forces-rotting carcasses and deposited feces-as well as their impact on the global climate cycle, have been largely overlooked. The simple truth is that pooping and peeing are daily rituals for almost all animals, the ellipses of ecology that flow through life. We eat, we poop, and we die. From the volcanoes of Iceland to the tropical waters of Hawaii, the great plains of the American heartland, and beyond, Eat, Poop, Die takes readers on an exhilarating and enlightening global adventure, revealing the remarkable ways in which the most basic biological activities of animals make and remake the world-and how a deeper understanding of these cycles ...
