In Defense of Flogging book cover
In Defense of Flogging
Peter Moskos - 2011-05-31
Рейтинг Goodreads
A criminologist presents a radical solution to our broken prison system: give criminals the choice between incarceration and the lash. In "In Defense of Flogging," Peter Moskos argues that flogging is a quick, cheap, and honest form of punishment that could save taxpayers billions of dollars. While it may be cruel, compared to our dysfunctional criminal justice system, it is the lesser of two evils.

@PeterMoskos I continue to recommend this book to people and it's been particularly relevant of late with all the court filings and such about January 6th and its participants being subject to "the torture of solitary confinement," probably the only truthful thing in any of them.      источник

The article @JeffHouck wrote about this in Edible Tampa Bay is so, so good. Cross Creek Cookery is not only a bible of Florida cooking but also an outright hilarious book at times. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was one of a kind.      источник

Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
Neil Postman - 2005-12-27 (впервые опубликовано в 1985)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This thought-provoking book explores the role of television in shaping our society and its impact on critical thinking and public discourse. The author highlights how our obsession with visually stimulating content is hampering our ability to engage in meaningful conversations about important issues. With compelling insights and solutions, the book urges readers to take control of their media consumption and strive towards a more reasoned and informed society.

@ParkerMolloy oh, this is great. I used a lot of this book when teaching Persuasion in Media classes 15 or so years ago.      источник

How to Build and Control an Alternative Version of the Internet
James Griffiths - 2019-03-15
Рейтинг Goodreads
Представьте, что вы оказались в мире без интернета. Некуда загрузить фотографию, не с кем поделиться смешной картинкой, негде быстро получить нужную информацию. Кажется, что сегодня такое практически невозможно, но иногда это результат единственного решения и нескольких нажатий на кнопку. Интернет начинался как развиваемый энтузиастами островок свободы, но с тех пор им научились управлять - как государства, так и крупные корпорации. Фраза "интернет помнит все" обрела второй смысл - контент стал подконтролен, иллюзия анонимности исчезла, а любое неосторожное сообщение может создать массу трудностей автору. Книга Джеймса Гриффитса рассказывает о том, как Китай первым в мире научился управлять интернетом и как другие страны перенимали его опыт.

Time again to recommend the excellent @jgriffiths book that explores in some great detail U.S. corporations' efforts to help China crack down on democracy:      источник
