Описание: Tom Waits, even with his barnyard growl and urban hipster yawp, may just be what the Daily Telegraph calls him: ‘the greatest entertainer on Planet Earth.’ Over a span of almost four decades, he has transformed his music and persona not to suit the times but his whims. Along with Bob Dylan, he stands as one of American music’s last elder statesmen, still capable of putting out records that matters. Journalists intent upon cracking the code are more likely to come out of a Waits interview with anecdotes about the weather, insects, or medieval medicine. He is, in essence, the teacher we wished we had, dispensing insights such as: ‘Vocabulary is my main instrument’; ‘We all like music, but what we really want is for music to like us’; ‘Anything you absorb you will ultimately secrete’; and ‘There is no such thing as non-fiction … People who really know what happened aren’t talking. And the people who don’t have a clue, you can’t shut them up.’ Tom Waits on Tom Waits is a selection of over 50 interviews, the majority of which have never been collected in book form before, in which Waits shares something truly unique with his readers. Taken together they present a de facto autobiography of a notoriously guarded artist.

Описание: This is a fictional tale but based on the true rags-to-riches story of a young Irish girl escaping the poverty of post-Potato Famine Ireland. Annie Elizabeth Maher ends up in the service of one of the wealthiest and well-connected families in New York. She mixes with artists, politicians, and wealthy business people and travels the world with her mistress, Georgiana. After Georgiana dies young, Annie retreats to make a new life in Long Branch, New Jersey. A successful and philanthropic woman with a portfolio of seven properties in 1900 is a rare event, let alone one who has emerged from poverty in Ireland. Nonetheless, she makes her mark on this seaside town and lives happily. However, she is arrested in 1924 and is committed to Trenton Asylum as a lunatic-was this a conspiracy to bring her down or an intolerance of female success? Of her time in Trenton under the now infamous Dr. Henry Cotton, how will this megalomania in medicine impact on her life?

Описание: Not so long ago, it wasn`t the lottery that everyone dreamed of winning, it was The Pools. For young mum-to-be, Nina, working in the rag trade in 70s London, that single line on the office coupon shared with her boss`s wife offered her a chance to move her family out of their 2 room-flat. But with war breaking out in her native home of Cyprus, her husband detained in Greece for possible National Service, she didn`t immediately notice when her boss`s wife seemed to be celebrating an unlikely windfall. A life-changing sum of money had been stolen, with no help and no proof she did not provide much of a threat... But they didn`t reckon on Nina...
Woodson Maher is neither an attorney nor a law-enforcement officer. He has never sat on a jury nor spent much time learning living-room law from the likes of Perry Mason, Judge Faith, or Andy Griffith.
None of that matters in Curious Crimes. What matters is that Maher wrote this book based on his own experience dealing with the vagaries and vexations of a criminal justice system that is anything but blind, and seemingly tone deaf and downright dumb.
Maher, a longtime marketing professional, recent public school teacher in Memphis, and author of Margin of Error, a 2017 book that shines light on the civil rights issue of standardized testing in public schools, this time takes on the United States' criminal justice system.
Maher openly shares his own case of how he was charged with driving drunk in an isolated, West Tennessee community. What ensued was a bizarre case of stereotypical small-town, kangaroo-court 'justice' featuring a clueless defense attorney and a case that was at first dismissed only to be resurrected and prosecuted by an elected district attorney and an accommodating judge.
As a result, Maher's professional career was effectively terminated. Only later did he also discover a court error in which his conviction and sentencing dates had been incorrectly recorded. It was a bone-headed error that for years kept showing up in background checks at the most inopportune times, such as when Maher was interviewing for a jobs or seeking rental housing.
Curious Crimes isn't just about Maher's drunk-driving case--It's also a primer of sorts, offering a brief history of criminal justice from biblical times through the early 21st century. This expose on lawfulness shares insights into boards of responsibility and the sway of justice among the races. His open record requests provide evidence that something is definitely wrong with America's current, rigged system of democracy.
Maher also covers everything you want, and need, to know about the fallacies and subtleties of how drunk driving laws have evolved and how they are administered, to all that is frightening and unforgiving about background checks, to the corruption and mismanagement of private, for-profit prisons.
In Curious Crimes, Maher doesn't shine a spotlight from 30,000 feet while examining and expounding on how criminal justice works (or malfunctions). Instead, he reports from the front lines, utilizing open-records requests while sharing his own experiences dealing with the baffling, troubling world of law and order. Included here is his experience with a head-scratching DUI charge straight out of The Dukes of Hazzard.
Among the topics Maher covers in Curious Crimes:
An historical overview and analysis of legal ethics that begins with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and goes through the early 21st century, where a decades-old "War on Drugs" continues to wreak prejudicial chaos.
How the U.S. leads the world in incarceration rates, accounting for only about 5 percent of the world's population yet 25 percent of the its prison population.
How antiquated DUI/DWI laws still fall well short of addressing other types of distracted driving every bit as dangerous as boozing and taking the wheel.
Corruption and mistreatment of prisoners inside private, for-profit prisons, which burn through billions in taxpayer dollars while remaining protected from public scrutiny.
A look at how boards of responsibility really operate, seemingly more concerned with protecting their own vs. serving the citizenry.
Why everyone in America should be as adamant in checking their criminal history as they are their credit history; you never know what might be erroneously lurking on your paper trail.

"A substance-rich, original on every page exploration of how the space program interacted with the environmental movement, and also with the peace and 'Whole Earth' movements of the 1960s." --Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution
The summer of 1969 saw astronauts land on the moon for the first time and hippie hordes descend on Woodstock. This lively and original account of the space race makes the case that the conjunction of these two era-defining events was not entirely coincidental.
With its lavishly funded mandate to put a man on the moon, the Apollo mission promised to reinvigorate a country that had lost its way. But a new breed of activists denounced it as a colossal waste of resources needed to solve pressing problems at home. Neil Maher reveals that there were actually unexpected synergies between the space program and the budding environmental, feminist and civil rights movements as photos from space galvanized environmentalists, women challenged the astronauts' boys club and NASA's engineers helped tackle inner city housing problems. Against a backdrop of Saturn V moonshots and Neil Armstrong's giant leap for mankind, Apollo in the Age of Aquarius brings the cultural politics of the space race back down to planet Earth.
"As a child in the 1960s, I was aware of both NASA's achievements and social unrest, but unaware of the clashes between those two historical currents. Maher captures] the maelstrom of the 1960s and 1970s as it collided with NASA's program for human spaceflight." --George Zamka, Colonel USMC (Ret.) and former NASA astronaut
"NASA and Woodstock may now seem polarized, but this illuminating, original chronicle...traces multiple crosscurrents between them." --Nature

Описание: This book is a solution manual of the 110 questions that were presented in the eight chapters throughout the authors previous book, Optimal Control Engineering with MATLAB. The manual is prepared as an independent book since it includes the problems questions, figures, and all necessary equations and formulas in a summarizing fashion and within the given solution frameworks. The idea behind writing this book is to increase significantly the students or readers knowledge about the optimal control discipline that is found in many engineering fields. Detailed step-by-step hand solutions are carried out while utilizing the MATLAB functions in the toolboxes. Simulink models are presented to simulate and validate the obtained results. Each chapter concludes with the lists of MATLAB programs that are used either to assess or to develop the desired solutions to challenging problems. The reader will discover the importance of using these programs, especially in solving parameter optimization design, different nonlinear TBVP, finite horizon LRQ, DDP and ILRQ problems. In addition, the implementation of the obtained time function optimal control law by a transfer function controller is accomplished for some problems. Among these problems, the reader will find many practical engineering problems in continuous as well as discrete forms. Finally, the reader can easily modify these programs and Simulink models for his or her problems.
Since being elected president in 1998, Hugo Chávez has become the face of contemporary Venezuela and, more broadly, anticapitalist revolution. George Ciccariello-Maher contends that this focus on Chávez has obscured the inner dynamics and historical development of the country’s Bolivarian Revolution. In We Created Chávez, by examining social movements and revolutionary groups active before and during the Chávez era, Ciccariello-Maher provides a broader, more nuanced account of Chávez’s rise to power and the years of activism that preceded it.
Based on interviews with grassroots organizers, former guerrillas, members of neighborhood militias, and government officials, Ciccariello-Maher presents a new history of Venezuelan political activism, one told from below. Led by leftist guerrillas, women, Afro-Venezuelans, indigenous people, and students, the social movements he discusses have been struggling against corruption and repression since 1958. Ciccariello-Maher pays particular attention to the dynamic interplay between the Chávez government, revolutionary social movements, and the Venezuelan people, recasting the Bolivarian Revolution as a long-term and multifaceted process of political transformation.

Ottavio, a former refugee from Sudan's brutal civil war, lives in Sydney, Australia; a place rich with opportunity and frustration. He has a degree in engineering but works in a meat factory. He strives to be responsible in the ways expected by his community--to look after his brothers, his cousins, and to get married. Yet, Ottavio feels like he is failing. Barely sleeping at night, he is unable to forget what the war took from him, what he left behind. To prove to himself that he has settled in his adopted country, he volunteers to help other migrants learn English. In class, he meets Alice, an Australian-born kawauja. She has a secure existence, a mundane job, and a need to find more meaning in her own life. But when tragedy strikes them both, they change in ways they could never have imagined. Blinding the Ghost's Eye is a story of belonging--to countries and families--a story of subjugation, of how we find comfort, and of promises we cannot hope to keep.
