Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 2014, adult film star Marsha May stood accused of crimes so serious that they carried the possibility of decades behind bars. She never served a day in jail.How does that happen? In Pretty Privilege: The Dark Descent of Marsha May, industry insider Kelli Roberts investigates one of the most disturbing and controversial cases to emerge from the adult entertainment world. At the center is Bianca Byndloss, better known as porn star Marsha May, whose meteoric rise from troubled teenager to award-winning adult performer ended in an arrest involving crimes against three children and fourteen felony charges. Yet despite the gravity of the allegations and the evidence presented, the case concluded with probation, reduced charges, and a sentence many critics viewed as astonishingly lenient. Was it simply the result of plea bargaining and prosecutorial discretion? Or did something deeper influence the outcome?Drawing on decades of research into beauty bias, the halo effect, gender disparities in sentencing, and the cultural fascination with attractive offenders, Roberts examines whether "pretty privilege" helped shape the trajectory of the case. Through court records, public documents, and extensive analysis, he traces Byndloss's troubled upbringing, rapid rise in the adult industry, criminal prosecution, and eventual unraveling, while confronting the larger question of how appearance can influence justice itself. But this is not merely the story of one woman. It is the story of the victims who were forgotten, the institutions that failed, and the uncomfortable reality that our legal system may not be as blind as we like to believe. Part true crime investigation, part social critique, and part examination of privilege in modern America, Pretty Privilege challenges readers to look beyond the face, beyond the headlines, and beyond the excuses to confront a question that remains as relevant today as ever: If Marsha May had been someone else, would justice have looked different? This story is based on REAL court records and police files. Find out every little detail of the very story that rocked the adult industry.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Biochar is the carbon-rich organic matter that remains after heating biomass under minimization of oxygen during a process called pyrolysis. Its relevance to deforestation, agricultural resilience, and energy production, particularly in developing countries, makes it an important issue. This report offers a review of what is known about opportunities and risks of biochar systems. Its aim is to provide a state of the art overview of current knowledge regarding biochar science. In that sense the report also offers a reconciling view on different scientific opinions about biochar providing an overall account that shows the various perspectives of its science and application. This includes soil and agricultural impacts of biochar, climate change impacts, social impacts, and competing uses of biomass.The report aims to contextualize the current scientific knowledge in order to put it at use to address the development- climate change nexus, including social and environmental sustainability. The report is organized as follows: chapter one offers some introductory comments and notes the increasing interest in biochar both from a scientific as well as from a practitioner's point of view; chapter two gives further background on biochar, describing its characteristics and outlining the way in which biochar systems function. Chapter three then considers the opportunities and risks of biochar systems, chapter four presents a typology of biochar systems emerging in practice, particularly in the developing world.New, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14040-based life-cycle assessments of the net climate change impact and the net economic profitability of three biochar systems with data collected from relatively advanced biochar projects were conducted for this report and are presented in chapter five, providing a novel understanding of the full life-cycle impacts of these known biochar systems. Chapter six investigates various aspects of technology adoption, including barriers to implementing promising systems, focusing on economics, carbon market access, and sociocultural barriers.Finally, the status of knowledge regarding biochar systems is interpreted in chapter seven to determine potential implications for future involvement in biochar research, policy, and project formulation.…
