Legislating Privacy Technology, Social Values, and Public Policy

Legislating Privacy Technology, Social Values, and Public Policy
Priscilla M. Regan, "Legislating Privacy: Technology, Social Values, and Public Policy"
English | 1995 | pages: 333 | ISBN: 0807822264, 0807857491 | PDF | 19,0 mb
While technological threats to personal privacy have proliferated rapidly, legislation designed to protect privacy has been slow and incremental. In this study of legislative attempts to reconcile privacy and technology, Priscilla Regan examines congressional policy making in three key areas: computerized databases, wiretapping, and polygraph testing. In each case, she argues, legislation has represented an unbalanced compromise benefiting those with a vested interest in new technology over those advocating privacy protection. Legislating Privacy explores the dynamics of congressional policy formulation and traces the limited response of legislators to the concept of privacy as a fundamental individual right. According to Regan, we will need an expanded understanding of the social value of privacy if we are to achieve greater protection from emerging technologies such as Caller ID and genetic testing. Specifically, she argues that a recognition of the social importance of privacy will shift both the terms of the policy debate and the patterns of interest-group action in future congressional activity on privacy issues.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease A Comprehensive Clinical Guide

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease A Comprehensive Clinical Guide
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide by David S. Feldman
English | EPUB | 2020 | 204 Pages | ISBN : 1071608525 | 126.4 MB
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) remains a challenging hip condition to treat. More than a century after its identification, the etiology of LCPD remains unclear and treatment continues to be controversial. The main goal of treatment is to prevent femoral head deformation. Preservation of femoral head sphericity is known to minimize the risk of premature hip pain, stiffness and arthritis. The best ways to achieve these goals remain elusive.

Lakes of Mongolia Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Paleoclimatology

Lakes of Mongolia Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Paleoclimatology
Lakes of Mongolia: Geomorphology, Geochemistry and Paleoclimatology
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030991199 | 465 Pages | PDF (True) | 32 MB
This book provides an overview of lakes in Mongolia from scientific, economic and scenic points of view, presenting lake area changes, their sedimentological and geochemical characteristics, valuable economic and geoheritage resources and paleoclimate change reconstruction. The book emphasizes internationally well-known lakes of Mongolia, but it also describes far less popular lakes which have remained unrecognized for scientific importance. The book offers modern, qualitative, process-oriented approaches and quantitative analytic results-based implications to understand the geomorphological, sedimentological and geochemical evolution of lake basins in Mongolia, and past and present climate changes in Mongolia and Eurasia. Insights into the interpretation of data obtained from the lake basins in the fields of geomorphology, sedimentology, geochemistry, geochronology and paleoclimatology are developed from theoretical principles, empirical observations, correlative illustrations, analytic measurements and conscious hypotheses. Based on the application of a combined compilation of recent Landsat 8 images of the lakes and topographic maps of them in 1970, this book presents enriched results and implications derived from remote sensing together with field measurements and laboratory analyses. This data compilation belongs to a research team at the Laboratory of Geochemistry and Geomorphology (LGG), National University of Mongolia (NUM).

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age thirty-eight. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations. An arresting narrative of the birth of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling also brilliantly evaluates the prophet's bold contributionsto Christian theology and his cultural place in the modern world.

John Szarkowski, Eugène Atget, Atget

John Szarkowski, Eugène Atget, Atget
John Szarkowski, Eugène Atget, "Atget"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0870700944 | PDF | pages: 226 | 14.3 mb
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) devoted more than 30 years of his life to a rigorous documentation of Paris, its environs and the French countryside, through more than 8,000 photographs. In the process, he created an oeuvre that brilliantly delineates the richness, complexity and character of his native culture. Atget's uncompromising eye recorded the picturesque villages and landscape of France; the storied chateaux and the romantic parks and gardens of the ancien régime of Louis XIV; and, in post-Haussmann Paris, architectural details, private courtyards, shop windows, curious buildings and streets, and the city's various denizens. Atget died almost unknown in 1927, although groups of his prints were included in various Paris archives. In 1925 Berenice Abbott discovered his work, and after his death she arranged to buy his archives with the help of art dealer Julien Levy; in 1968 that collection was purchased by The Museum of Modern Art. Originally published in 2000 and long unavailable, this classic, superbly produced volume surveys the collection through 100 carefully selected photographs. John Szarkowski, head of MoMA's Department of Photography from 1962 to 1991, explores the unique sensibilities that made Atget one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century and a vital influence on the development of modern and contemporary photography. An introductory text and commentaries on Atget's photographs form an extended essay on the remarkable visual intelligence displayed in these subtle, sometimes enigmatic photographs.
