Anna Suranyi, "Indentured Servitude: Unfree Labour and Citizenship in the British Colonies"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0228006686, 0228006678 | 288 pages | EPUB | 8.1 MB
Hundreds of thousands of British and Irish men, women, and children crossed the Atlantic during the seventeenth century as indentured servants. Many had agreed to serve for four years, but large numbers had been trafficked or "spirited away" or were sent forcibly by government agencies as criminals, political rebels, or destitute vagrants. In Indentured Servitude Anna Suranyi provides new insight into the lives of these people. The British government, Suranyi argues, profited by supplying labour for the colonies, removing unwanted populations, and reducing incarceration costs within Britain. In addition, it was believed that indigents, especially destitute children, benefited morally from being placed in indenture. Capitalist entrepreneurs who were influential at the highest levels of government made their fortunes from Atlantic trade in goods, indentured servants, and slaves, and their participation in the servant trade contributed to the commercialization of criminal justice. Suranyi breaks new ground in showing how indentured servitude was challenged: once in the colonies, indentured servants adapted resourcefully to their circumstances and rebelled against unfair conditions and abuse by suing their masters, by running away, or through outright revolt. Emerging ideas about race and citizenship led to vehement public debate about the conditions of indentured servants and the ethics of indenture itself, prompting legislation that aimed to curb the worst excesses while slavery continued to expand unchecked.

Improving Natural Resource Management: Ecological and Political Models By Timothy C. Haas(auth.)
2011 | 261 Pages | ISBN: 0470661135 | PDF | 3 MB
The decision to implement environmental protection options is a political one. These, and other political and social decisions affect the balance of the ecosystem and how the point of equilibrium desired is to be reached. This book develops a stochastic, temporal model of how political processes influence and are influenced by ecosystem processes and looks at how to find the most politically feasible plan for managing an at-risk ecosystem. Finding such a plan is accomplished by first fitting a mechanistic political and ecological model to a data set composed of observations on both political actions that impact an ecosystem and variables that describe the ecosystem. The parameters of this fitted model are perturbed just enough to cause human behaviour to change so that desired ecosystem states occur. This perturbed model gives the ecosystem management plan needed to reach desired ecosystem states. To construct such a set of interacting models, topics from political science, ecology, probability, and statistics are developed and explored. Key features:Explores politically feasible ways to manage at-risk ecosystems. Gives agent-based models of how social groups affect ecosystems through time. Demonstrates how to fit models of population dynamics to mixtures of wildlife data. Presents statistical methods for fitting models of group behaviour to political action data. Supported by an accompanying website featuring datasets and JAVA code. This book will be useful to managers and analysts working in organizations charged with finding practical ways to sustain biodiversity or the physical environment. Furthermore this book also provides a political roadmap to help lawmakers and administrators improve institutional environmental management decision making.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-13): Chapter 2 Simulator Architecture, Operation, and Example Output (pages 15-26): Chapter 3 Blue Whale Population Management (pages 27-42): Chapter 4 Finding the Most Practical Ecosystem Management Plan (pages 43-58): Chapter 5 An Open, Web?Based Ecosystem Management Tool (pages 59-78): Chapter 6 Influence Diagrams of Political Decision Making (pages 79-95): Chapter 7 Group IDs for the East African Cheetah EMT (pages 97-108): Chapter 8 Modeling Wildlife Population Dynamics with an Influence Diagram (pages 109-121): Chapter 9 Political Action Taxonomies, Collection Protocols, and an Actions History Example (pages 123-142): Chapter 10 Ecosystem Data (pages 143-160): Chapter 11 Statistical Fitting of the Political-Ecological System Simulator (pages 161-177): Chapter 12 Assessing the Simulator's Reliability and Improving its Construct Validity (pages 179-199): Chapter 13 Current Capabilities and Limitations of the Politically Realistic EMT (pages 201-208):

Christopher Hager, "I Remain Yours: Common Lives in Civil War Letters"
English | ISBN: 0674737644 | 2018 | 352 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies―and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home―letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word.

How to hack a human being. Technology of the mark of the beast 666.: The end of the human age. by César Madrigal
English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09NDV3BD2 | 77 pages | EPUB | 0.17 Mb
The famous Israeli bestselling historian, philosopher and writer Yuval Noah Harari at the 2020 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting said at a conference, that humans are hackable animals and that soon at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack everyone thanks to biological knowledge multiplied by computational power multiplied by data, that would equal the ability to hack humans. Is this statement true or just science fiction? In fact, everything that is said in the World Economic Forum ends up being fulfilled many times sooner or later because in part the elites that form it have a lot of power and money and therefore influence, so that their prophecies are self-fulfilling. But there are also brain-machine or brain-computer interfaces that are capable of reading our thoughts and feelings through the wonder material that is graphene, as the Catalan company Inbrain Neuroelectronics and the company of the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, which is called Neuralink are already doing. Speaking of Elon Musk, he himself said in October 2014 that with artificial intelligence we are summoning the devil, and if he says so who has founded successful technology companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, OpenAI, Paypal, etc., chances are that It's probably true, because he knows a lot more about technology than most human beings. Precisely Elon Musk's words echo what Geordie Rose said, the creator of the quantum computing company D-Wave Systems at a TechVancouver conference in June 2017, explaining that a quantum computer is not a supercomputer, but rather that quantum computers allow access to hidden dimensions, which should not surprise us because this company is full of occult symbology everywhere, starting with the name of the company that contains the word Demon or its quantum computers in the shape of a black cube, as if they were black cubes of Saturn, which have always been the object of worship and occult symbols for millennia, and which are represented as sculptures in many countries of the world, the most famous Saturn cube being the building of the Kaaba, which is the most important sacred and religious pilgrimage site in the religion of Islam.

Keith Wailoo, "How Cancer Crossed the Color Line"
English | ISBN: 0195170172 | 2011 | 264 pages | PDF | 1235 KB
In the course of the 20th century, cancer went from being perceived as a white woman's nemesis to a "democratic disease" to a fearsome threat in communities of color. Drawing on film and fiction, on medical and epidemiological evidence, and on patients' accounts, Keith Wailoo tracks this transformation in cancer awareness, revealing how not only awareness, but cancer prevention, treatment, and survival have all been refracted through the lens of race.
