Описание: The controversial New York City police commissioner and "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Lost Son "shares the story of his fall from grace and the effects of his incarceration on his views of the American justice system. Bernard Kerik was New York City s police commissioner during the 9/11 attacks, and became an American hero as he led the NYPD through rescue and recovery efforts of the World Trade Center. His resume as a public servant is long and storied, and includes receiving a Medal of Honor. In 2004, Kerik was nominated by George W. Bush to head the Department of Homeland Security. Now, he is a former Federal Prison Inmate known as #84888-054. Convicted of tax fraud and false statements in 2007, Kerik was sentenced to four years in federal prison. Now, for the first time, he talks candidly about what it was like on the inside: the torture of solitary confinement, the abuse of power, the mental and physical torment of being locked up in a cage, the powerlessness. With newfound perspective, Kerik makes a plea for change and illuminates why our punishment system doesn t always fit the crime. In this extraordinary memoir, Kerik reveals his unprecedented view of the American penal system from both sides: as the jailer "and "the jailed. With astonishing candor, bravery, and insider s intelligence, Bernard Kerik shares his fall from grace to incarceration, and turns it into a genuine and uniquely insightful argument for criminal justice reform."

Описание: Is a total renunciation of clothing a prerequisite to attaining spiritual liberation? In Gender and Salvation, Padmanabh S. Jaini brings to light previously untranslated texts centering on a centuries-old debate between the two principal Jaina sects, the Digambaras and the Svetambaras. At the core of the debate is the question of whether gender-based differences of biology and life experience shape or limit an individual's ability to accomplish the ultimate religious goal.
For the Digambaras, the example of total nudity set by Mahavira (599-527 B.C.), the central spiritual figure of Jainism, mandates an identical practice for all who aspire to the highest levels of religious attainment. For the Svetambaras, the renunciation occurs purely on an internal level and is neither affected nor confirmed by the absence of clothes. Both sects agree, however, that nudity is not permitted for women under any circumstances. The Digambaras, therefore, believe that women cannot attain salvation, while the Svetambaras believe they can. Through their analysis of this dilemma, the Jaina thinkers whose texts are translated here demonstrate a level of insight into the material and spiritual constraints on women that transcends the particular question of salvation and relates directly to current debates on the effects of gender in our own society.

Описание: With hustling seemingly in their past, two sisters attempt to move on and live normal lives, focusing on love, family, and their careers. When the opportunity to star as cast-mates on the hit reality TV show Sports Wives is presented, the sisters decide to take advantage of the exposure. But as soon as the cameras start rolling, the deep dark secrets they are desperately trying to keep hidden threaten to be revealed on screen. For one sister, the fa ade of her "perfect" life is put at risk with the possibility of having the devastating truth about her abusive relationship come out. The other has a long forgotten family member that suddenly appears back in her life threatening to jeopardize it all by creating a huge mess she's forced to clean up or die trying. The show also brings its own drama right from the very beginning of filming when the two sisters are forced to interact with the other wives of the show, who unexpectedly include a long-time arch nemesis. Tempers flare, bullets fly, skeletons are released from their closets-and it's all caught on camera, proving that none of the ladies are perfect, even if they pretend to be. The Hustle: Unscripted is a tale of drama, love, betrayal, and over-coming imperfection, all unfolding in front of rolling cameras. But even the drama portrayed on reality TV is nothing compared to what happens when the cameras aren't rolling, and it is clear that these sisters' lives are too real to be scripted.
