Joel Brand’s Story

By: Alex Weissberg

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book is the story of the former Hungarian Zionist leader, Joel Brand, as told to Alex Weissberg, author of The Accused, which told of his experiences as a prisoner of the Soviet secret police. Most of Desperate Mission: Joel Brand’s Story (1958) is devoted to an account of how Brand came to be in a position to negotiate with the Nazis for the lives of a million human beings and what he did to carry out his incredible mission. Written with all the passion of a man who was entrusted with an almost hopeless mission and had to sit by impotently watching the horrible consequences of its failure, Brand believed that goods and promises which would not have prolonged the fighting ability of the Wehrmacht by a single day might have prevented the slaughter of the 400,000 Jews from Hungary and the untold number from other countries who were put to death in the last year of Hitler’s regime.

The End of Policing

The End of Policing

By: Alex S. Vitale

The best-selling bible of the movement to defund the police in an updated edition "Urgent, provocative, and timely, The End of Policing will make you question most of what you have been taught to believe about crime and how to solve it." —James Forman Jr., author of Locking Up Our Own The massive uprising that followed the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020— by some estimates the largest protests in US history—thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. That case had been put persuasively a few years earlier in The End of Policing by Alex Vitale, now a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over policing and racial justice. The central problem, Vitale demonstrates, is the dramatic expansion of the police role over the last forty years. Drawing on firsthand research from across the globe, he shows how the implementation of alternatives to policing—such as drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead of the policing of drugs—has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This updated edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.

Electrotherapy Explained E-Book

By: Val Robertson,Alex Ward,John Low,Ann Reed

Electrotherapy Explained is an excellent research-based exploration of the major types of electrophysical agents used in clinical practice, particularly human and also animal. For the fourth edition, two new authors join the writing team, presenting the latest information for today's clinicians. The text has been completely updated with a major rewrite of the material, particularly that on electrical stimulation. This book continues to focus on evidence: clinical and biophysical evidence that affects how and which electrotherapies may be of use clinically and when. The inclusion of biophysics as well as clinical evidence and principles of application, enables clinicians to move away from traditional 'recipe-based' approaches and rely more on their own clinical reasoning. The focus remains on humans but the relevance of the principles for using and applying different modalities is explained clearly, providing guidelines for clinicians across disciplines and specialties. - Up to date research detailing the evidence both supportive and deprecatory for the use of each modality - Written by experts from biophysics and the clinical domains - Comprehensive and well referenced - Clear and well chosen illustrations elucidate the text - Text boxes and summary sections help to break down what is sometimes a complex subject into manageable and memorable chunks - Contraindications and risks have been updated in light of the most recent research - Three books for the price of one - the website (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780750688437) contains the entire texts of 'Physical Principles Explained' by Low and Reed, and 'Biophysical Bases of Electrotherapy' by Ward. The text directs readers to the website for further reading at relevant points

Song Noir

Tom Waits and the Spirit of Los Angeles

By: Alex Harvey

A gritty, smoke-filled, and boozy account of musician Tom Waits’s formative decade in Los Angeles. Song Noir examines the formative first decade of Tom Waits’s career, when he lived, wrote, and recorded nine albums in Los Angeles: from his soft, folk-inflected debut, Closing Time in 1973, to the abrasive, surreal Swordfishtrombones in 1983. Starting his songwriting career in the seventies, Waits absorbed Los Angeles’s wealth of cultural influences. Combining the spoken idioms of writers like Kerouac and Bukowski with jazz-blues rhythms, he explored the city’s literary and film noir traditions to create hallucinatory dreamscapes. Waits mined a rich seam of the city’s low-life locations and characters, letting the place feed his dark imagination. Mixing the domestic with the mythic, Waits turned quotidian, autobiographical details into something more disturbing and emblematic, a vision of Los Angeles as the warped, narcotic heart of his nocturnal explorations.

Around the World in (More Than) 80 Days

Discovering What Makes America Great and Why We Must Fight to Save It

By: Larry Alex Taunton

A battle rages for the heart and soul of America. For one group, the idea of “American Exceptionalism” is dead. Some never tire of lecturing us about how out-of-step America is with the rest of the world and how she needs to get with it. Worse, America, they say, is bad for the world. Her freedom and prosperity are merely historical accidents. Of course, this narrative presupposes there are better places in the world to live. Are there? Were Alec Baldwin to leave the country permanently as he once promised, where would he go?

World Regional Geography

Global Patterns, Local Lives

By: Lydia Mihelic Pulsipher,Alex Pulsipher

Like no other textbook, Pulsipher and Pulsipher’s World Regional Geography puts a human face on the study of regional geography, showing how larger geographical forces affect the lives of individuals and communities around the globe. It’s a refreshing, people-centered approach to the subject focusing on the stories of real people, global trends and interregional linkages, and contemporary topics that transcend regional borders (the war on terrorism, global political order, interregional trade, the global economy, popular culture, the environment, and the Internet).
