Neuware - In contrast to much of the current literature that treats Trump's authoritarianism as new and singular, this book shows that authoritarianism in the United States instead has a long history that explains the extent to which authoritarianism has been embraced by large sections of US voters.Wired for Authoritarianism combines historical analysis with an innovative conceptual analysis of the 'wiring' of power, drawing on the study of the power elite developed by the sociologist C. Wright Mills and neöMarxist literature. Connecting the social and political culture of the elite to the ideas of state and societal capture, as well as novel concepts of covert and overt wiring of power, this book argues that the Trump era has moved America from a long¿standing, mainly covert authoritarian structure toward a more dominant and overt authoritarianism-from a position in which oligarchs exercise power from outside of official government positions to one in which corporate oligarchs are directly in top government positions.This book offers original insights and sober hope for all those seeking deep and sustainable democracy in America, summarizing strategies drawn from history and current anti¿authoritarian movements to defeat this new turn and create a new democratic wiring of America for the people. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and activists with an interest in political sociology, political economy and social movements in the US, as well as to the general public in the US and around the world.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the first book to look at live exports of animals, one of the most emotive animal welfare issues still needing to be solved. The UK's historical concern with the exportation of animals to Europe has resulted in the creation of organisations to oppose it, mass demonstrations and even people dying in their efforts to stop the practice. The only animal welfare issue raised as a Brexit dividend, live exports were finally stopped in 2025. Why did it take 100 years to achieve this result In this book, David Bowles explores why live export of animals ever happened and why it ended, examining the economic, social and public opinion drivers, Britain's challenging relationship with Europe, and the different species impacted. It assesses campaigns to stop the trade in horses, sheep, cattle and calves from eight different countries, and determines why some were successful whilst others have increased rather than stopped. For instance, - How was the First World War important in stopping the live export of horses from Britain - Why did live exports of cattle start after the Second World War and how was the British trade stopped - Why did Australia ban the live exports of sheep but not cattle - Do agricultural subsidies encourage or curtail live exports - How can you construct a live exports ban and remain consistent with international trade and animal welfare rules - How important was Brexit in the decision to ban live export of animals - Can other countries follow the UK and Australia in the future as campaigning in developing and importing countries starts Delving into campaigning tactics, Bowles asks whether the British ban is the beginning of the end for all live exports of animals or just a curious anomaly, specific to a so-called nation of animal lovers.As well as being highly relevant for those in animal welfare, this book offers insights for anybody in social/political advocacy, campaigning and activism, regardless of the issue.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the factors contributing to the under-representation of African American female directors in mainstream cinema leadership. It also unmasks the potential strategies African American female film directors might pursue to reduce this inequity.Author Tracy L. F. Worley draws on research around ethics to conclude that there are specific consequences of the male gaze on women in cinema leadership, especially African American female directors of box office cinema. Combining extensive analysis of ethics and ethical stance relative to the motion picture industry with perspectives from working African American female directors, the text discusses the ethical considerations and historical inequities, including the male gaze, and uses those findings to define how the inequities can be opportunities. The efficacy model for cinematic leadership is presented as a mechanism for viewing obstacles through the lenses of gender, ethnicity, and culture so they become drivers for African American women to achieve success.Ideal for students of directing and filmmaking, as well as aspiring professional filmmakers wishing to gain a better understanding of the industry as it stands today.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The U.S. health care system is dominated by private and public (governmental) insurance which makes it difficult for many Americans to imagine access to health care without it. The health care system in the USA is sometimes mistakenly referred to as market-based, partly because of the previous lack of compulsory insurance.As this book shows, however, even before ObamaCare it was a system heavily influenced by the government. This short and accessible book demonstrates that governmental long-term interventionism in the American health insurance market has led to many contemporary serious problems, such as significant and uncontrolled increases in health care costs, rising health insurance prices, marginalization of direct payments, limited competition, and problems with uninsured Americans. Many observers wrongly blame the market for this state of affairs and demand more regulation, which further deteriorates the situation. The study is divided into two parts: an analysis of the history of interventions (and their effects) in the private health insurance market, and an analysis of the genesis and evolution of governmental Medicare and Medicaid insurance. Thus, the book constitutes a unique synthesis of Austrian theory of interventionism and the history of health insurance in the USA.This book is vital reading for health economists, managers, and policymakers, as well as those interested in the Austrian approach to economics.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Transcribing a text within a Medieval manuscript was often not a culturally and ideologically neutral act. The lack of direct control by the authors over the circulation of their works allowed scribes to employ particularly refined strategies aimed at assigning new functions and meanings to these texts, which might appear very different from the original to the readers. This could be achieved in various ways, such as manipulating the configuration of the manuscript, creating or emphasising textual connections within organised collections, exploiting paratexts, or making more significant alterations to the text itself.This volume provides an overview of the primary ways in which textual repurposing and the consequent guiding of the reader are achieved within the manuscript tradition of Medieval Romance literary texts. Each method is described and exemplified through detailed analysis of particularly significant cases, which not only offer interesting insights into the perception of authorship in this literary context but also reveal unexpected ways through which manuscript compilers revitalise and enhance the communication of the works they handle.This book will be of interest to readers of Romance Medieval literature, Medieval manuscript culture, and material philology.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Imagine if every architect had an apprentice who could consistently observe and understand their intentions, take over routine tasks and monitor technical, environmental, and economic constraints. This apprentice would continually improve, freeing the architect to concentrate on truly creative work.This book outlines a plan to turn this vision into reality. It evaluates the development of artificial intelligence from its inception to the present, focusing on the last two decades of applying AI in architectural design and planning; the current state of architectural practice is also examined. Integrating architecture, computer science, AI, robotics, economics, law, neurobiology, and philosophy, the vision is built on three key premises: (i) authentic, poetic creativity that transcends parameterization and algorithmizing, (ii) innovative learning strategies and training approaches not yet applied concerning architectural design, and (iii) the convergence of architecture's inherent spatiality with virtual reality technology and new theories of human thinking and intelligence, poised for implementation in machine learning.
