A vivid history of the controversial building of Dodger Stadium and how it helped transform Los Angeles
When Walter O'Malley moved his Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles in 1957 with plans to construct a new ballpark, he ignited a bitter half-decade dispute over the future of a rapidly changing city. For the first time, City of Dreams tells the full story of the controversial building of Dodger Stadium and how it helped create modern Los Angeles. In a vivid narrative, Jerald Podair tells how the city was convulsed over whether, where, and how to build the stadium. Eventually, it was built on publicly owned land from which the city had uprooted a Mexican American community, raising questions about the relationship between private profit and "public purpose." Indeed, the battle over Dodger Stadium crystallized issues with profound implications for all American cities. Filled with colorful stories, City of Dreams will fascinate anyone who is interested in the history of the Dodgers, baseball, Los Angeles, and the modern American city.

Описание: Forfeiture has long been an effective law enforcement tool. Congress and state legislatures have authorised its use for over 200 years. Every year, it redirects property worth billions of dollars from criminal to lawful uses. Forfeiture law has always been somewhat unique. By the close of the 20th century, however, legislative bodies, commentators, and the courts had begun to examine its eccentricities in greater detail because under some circumstances it could be not only harsh but unfair. The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act was a product of that reexamination. This book is an overview of federal forfeiture law. It sketches the origins and general attributes of forfeiture, describes the distribution of the hundreds of millions of dollars it generates, and identifies some of the constitutional issues it raises. Furthermore, the book provides an overview of selected legal issues and reforms surrounding asset forfeiture, including the burden-of-proof standard and innocent-owner defense in civil asset forfeiture cases, access to counsel in both civil and criminal forfeiture cases, allocation of profits from confiscated assets, and DOJs equitable sharing program.

Описание: Emotion is a relatively new substantive topic within sociology. Growing interest to the topic is likely due to the recognition that humans are not motivated solely by rational-economic concerns. Emotional attachments to others and affective commitments (eg: desires, attitudes, values, moral beliefs) influence a significant portion of human behaviour. Emotion is treated as an independent variable much less frequently in microlevel approaches. Most sociologists assume, either explicitly or implicitly, that feelings motivate subsequent behaviours, but attempts to specify which emotions lead to which behaviours are rare. However, certain types of emotions have been linked theoretically to the outcome of social control. Other social psychological approaches treat emotions as intervening variables in broader social processes. Emotions have been used to link macro factors to micro factors, micro to macro factors, or both. Emotional competencies are thought to be important for social interaction because emotions serve communicative and social functions, conveying information about peoples thoughts and intentions and coordinating social encounters. Positive emotionality is associated with sociability, whereas persistent negative affect keeps others at bay. Accordingly, people need to process emotional information and manage emotional dynamics intelligently to navigate the social world. Yet, few studies to date have examined the relationship between individual differences in emotional competencies and social adaptation in adult, nonclinical populations. The idea that emotional competencies are crucial for adaptation in various realms of life has fuelled interest in the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) and inspired numerous programs of social and emotional learning in school and work settings. This book explains the role of basic emotions in social relationships, their effects on reasoning, and their pathology in psychological illness, such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Emotions also enable them to cooperate with other individuals, to compete with them, and to disengage from them. The human system of emotions has also grafted onto basic emotions propositional contents about the cause of the emotion, the self, and other matters. Complex emotions always contain such contents, whereas basic emotions can be experienced without them. This book brings together inquiries into the size and proximity of social networks and emotion in social relationships to advance understanding of how emotion in significant social relationships influences health.

Thomas Название: Religion and Canadian Party Politics ISBN: 0774835591 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774835596 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 31730.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Religion is usually thought of as inconsequential to contemporary Canadian politics. This book takes a hard look at just how much influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and territorial arenas. Drawing on case studies from across the country, it explores three important axes of religiously based contention – Protestant vs. Catholic, conservative vs. reformer, and, more recently, opponents vs. defenders of accommodating minority religious practices. Although the extent of partisan engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across time and region, the authors show that religion still matters in shaping political oppositions. These themes are illuminated by comparisons to the role faith plays in the politics of other Western industrialized societies.
