Book Synopsis Seven Deadly Sins by : Mark W. Denniston
Download or read book Seven Deadly Sins written by Mark W. Denniston and published by Carolina Academic Press LLC. This book was released on 2021 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This textbook brings a fresh approach to the study of constitutional criminal rights in the context of the American criminal justice system. It is intentionally written at a level suitable for an undergraduate. Seven Deadly Sins presents seven core constitutional virtues, introduced to the reader via their mirror opposites, which the authors call the "seven deadly constitutional sins" of the criminal justice system. These negative attributes or "sins" are: intolerance, subterfuge, intrusiveness, craftiness, favoritism, cruelty, and subservience to authority. Some of these negative attributes are housed entirely in one amendment to the constitution (e.g. cruelty) while others span several areas of the Bill of Rights (e.g., subservience to authority). Each negative trait is presented in two companion chapters. The first of the two chapters introduces the negative trait (e.g., "intolerance") and establishes its constitutional place via a presentation of various, appellate law decisions written in language suitable for an undergraduate student. The second, or companion, chapter then presents real world, non-legal "stories" from the field in the areas of policing and corrections that illustrate the trait using a more "hands on" approach. It is this combination of true stories from the field coupled with conceptualizing constitutional rights in terms of their mirror opposites (including the grouping of several amendments at once when necessary) that makes this book unique and fresh"--

Book excerpt: Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist: A “wonderfully vivid” crime novel about race, money, and the American Dream (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

He’s on the verge of losing everything when his boss offers him a scoundrel's path to redemption: sabotage a competing, Native banker named Johnny Eagle. A single father, Eagle recently returned to the reservation, leaving a high-powered job in the hope of simultaneously empowering his community and saving his troubled son.

Book Synopsis The Seven Deadly Sins by : Stanford M. Lyman
Download or read book The Seven Deadly Sins written by Stanford M. Lyman and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stanford M. Lyman authored The Seven Deadly Sins: Society and Evil in 1978 it was hailed by Alasdair MacIntyre as "a book of absorbing interest and importance...[that] places us all in his debt." By Nelson Hart as "a masterful and thought-provoking book...[that] is the only scholarly treatment of sin that is so well-informed by the best of ancient through modern perspectives." By James A. Aho as a work whose "abstract hardly does justice to the scholarly and detailed analysis of sin." And by Harry Cohen as a "book...[that] stands as a beautiful illustration of what holistic, idiosyncratic, interdisciplinary, and creative thinking and writing can bring to bear on the age-old problem of society and evil." The American Sociological Association's section on the Sociology of the Emotions selected this book as one of the works that laid the foundations for the study of pride, lust, envy, and anger—basic sentiments embedded in the social process. For this revised and expanded edition Lyman has written a new chapter, "Sentiments, Sin, and Social Conflict: Toward a Sociology of the Emotions." The new edition will be a valuable work for courses in social psychology, ethics, deviance, and the sociology of morals and of religion.
Book Synopsis The Seven Sins of Memory by : Daniel L. Schacter
Download or read book The Seven Sins of Memory written by Daniel L. Schacter and published by HMH. This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book: A psychologist’s “gripping and thought-provoking” look at how and why our brains sometimes fail us (Steven Pinker, author of How the Mind Works). In this intriguing study, Harvard psychologist Daniel L. Schacter explores the memory miscues that occur in everyday life, placing them into seven categories: absent-mindedness, transience, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. Illustrating these concepts with vivid examples—case studies, literary excerpts, experimental evidence, and accounts of highly visible news events such as the O. J. Simpson verdict, Bill Clinton’s grand jury testimony, and the search for the Oklahoma City bomber—he also delves into striking new scientific research, giving us a glimpse of the fascinating neurology of memory and offering “insight into common malfunctions of the mind” (USA Today). “Though memory failure can amount to little more than a mild annoyance, the consequences of misattribution in eyewitness testimony can be devastating, as can the consequences of suggestibility among pre-school children and among adults with ‘false memory syndrome’ . . . Drawing upon recent neuroimaging research that allows a glimpse of the brain as it learns and remembers, Schacter guides his readers on a fascinating journey of the human mind.” —Library Journal “Clear, entertaining and provocative . . . Encourages a new appreciation of the complexity and fragility of memory.” —The Seattle Times “Should be required reading for police, lawyers, psychologists, and anyone else who wants to understand how memory can go terribly wrong.” —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution “A fascinating journey through paths of memory, its open avenues and blind alleys . . . Lucid, engaging, and enjoyable.” —Jerome Groopman, MD “Compelling in its science and its probing examination of everyday life, The Seven Sins of Memory is also a delightful book, lively and clear.” —Chicago Tribune Winner of the William James Book Award

Book excerpt: New in town, huh? Look around, kidpalm trees, movie stars, glittering promises of fame and fortune....Now look closer, and you'll see the real action in the City of Angels: goons and thugs, backroom dice clubs, motel room cheesecake shots, crusading cops, and a few unlucky saps who didn't make it out alive. Sins of the City is a daring photographic compendium of vintage vice in Los Angeles from the '20s to the '50s, the true-life pictures of a milieu immortalized in the hard-bitten novels of Raymond Chandler, Walter Mosley, and James Ellroy, and such films as Criss Cross, Double Indemnity, Chinatown, and LA Confidential. Pore over 200 shots of the people, places, and events that only tabloids such as Hush-Hush, Confidential, and Whisper dared publish. Witness the LAPD bust a floating casino, see a dapper Bugsy Siegel "before" (living) and "after" (deeply deceased), and marvel at the criminal excess of marijuana-stuffed suitcases. Author Jim Heimann has scoured archives and newspaper morgues for prime examples of Southland's inglorious past, presenting a compelling history of its notorious corruption. Sure, it's a tough city, but thankfully someone was there to record it all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 15 Sins in Manufacturing Excellence The Path To Overcome And Excel From the Authors’ desk..... To achieve excellence in their chosen field is a common dream of most professionals – including those in the manufacturing and service fields. But for most, this remains a dream. This is mainly because in today’s competitive world, few people are selfless enough to share their success formula with industry brethren and the corporate world at large – for fear of losing out on their own position in the marketplace. We have seen and heard of many fantastic ideas but unfortunately, very few great implementations. This book bridges that very gap between theory and execution. The 15 Sins in Manufacturing Excellence – The Path to Overcome and Excel, is our Grand Recipe that has been meticulously developed – based on our own ‘learning cycle’ over many years of industry experience – from grassroots to delivery of final end product and service. We ‘learned’ how, where and when to apply what we felt worked best for companies and employees. Through this book, our intention is to just share with you our own humble, yet challenging experiences that working life has taken us through. This book rests in the premise that if you get your basics right, follow the guidelines outlined herein and overcome the 15 sins enumerated; you are bound to have a Holistice, Systems Approach Roadmap of Proven Strategies for Growth, Peak Performance and Consistently Improving Results – with an added bonus of a checklist for your day-to-day operations! You will achieve Excellence in your Manufacturing Operations and exceed your own expectations...... It’s as simple as that!! It is a MUST read book for all – whether you are a fresh graduate entering the real world at large or someone who is already working in the industry – including, inter alia, Supervisors, Team Leaders, Monitors, Executives, managers, Directors, Vice Presidents, presidents and even the COO or the CEO of the company – in short, it encompasses every employee working for or running the organization. That’s the implicit power of this book!! Thank you.
