Oavsett om en människa avrättas med en kula i huvudet i ett mörkt gathörn, hittas livlös efter elva timmar i en städskrubb utan övervakning på akuten, eller dör ensam med liggsår på ett underbemannat äldrevårdshem, finns det någon som ligger bakom. Någon som gett en order. Någon som bär ett ansvar. New York, sommaren 2013. Med ett djärvt ingrepp räddar den unga svenska läkaren Peter Larsson livet på en svårt skadad bilförare. Ett halvår senare ser Peter – som nu tjänstgör på Malmö sjukhus – en gymnasieelev brutalt skjutas ned på gatan. Än en gång försöker han rädda ett människoliv. De två händelserna bildar upptakten till ett rafflande kriminaldrama där Peter och flickvännen Erika dras in i en våldsam värld präglad av oväntade vändningar, stark psykisk påfrestning och tvära kast mellan Malmös hårda gatuliv och Lunds akademiska elegans. Judaskyssen bygger vidare på den starka traditionen av politiskt engagerad skandinavisk kriminallitteratur som bär en tydlig social och politisk agenda. Alla patientfall bygger på verkliga händelser. Det här är Print on Demand-utgåvan. Om författarna: Kristina och Michael är gamla kollegor som bestämde sig för att skriva en bok tillsammans, då båda brinner för att väcka insikt om det stegrande gatuvåldet och problemen inom sjukvården. Kristina är journalist och Michael jobbar som engelsk copywriter. Han är född i England men båda bor nu i Uppsala.

Huumeparonin käsikirja

Huumekaupassa liikkuu maailmanlaajuisesti vuositasolla 300 miljardia dollaria ja sillä on 250 miljoonaa asiakasta, mutta miten se lopulta toimii?Aivan kuten muukin suurbisnes, vastaa tutkiva journalisti Tom Wainwright. Huumekaupassa McDonald'sin ja Coca-Cola Companyn kaltaisten yritysten opit näkyvät huumekauppiaiden toiminnassa aina brändiarvon rakentamisesta asiakaspalvelun hienosäätöön saakka.Tässä kirjassa Wainwright käy Andien kokaiiniviljelmillä, Väli-Amerikan vankiloissa, Coloradon marihuanapuodeissa ja internetin Pimeän verkon huumeluolissa. Niissä hän tutustuu bolivialaiseen kokaiinioppaaseen Bin Ladeniin, salvadorilaiseen jengipäällikkö Old Liniin, uusiseelantilaiseen ökyrikkaaseen pilleritehtailija Starboyhin sekä lupsakkaan meksikolaiseen mummoon, joka paistaa mustikkalettuja suunnitellessaan murhia. Presidenttien, poliisien ja teini-ikäisten palkkatappajien kanssa he selittävät, mikä on päästä varpaisiin ulottuvien tatuointien bisnesmerkitys, miten jengit päättävät keskinäisestä kilpailusta tai yhteistyöstä ja miksi huumekartelleille yhteiskuntavastuu on yllättävän tärkeä asia.Huumeparonin käsikirja on paitsi analyysi huumekaupan toiminnasta myös silmiä avaava puheenvuoro siitä, miten sitä vastaan voi menestyksellä kamppailla."Yksi viime vuosien kiinnostavimmista bisneskirjoista.” - Management TodayTom Wainwright työskentelee The Economist -lehden toimituspäällikkönä. Hän vastasi lehden Väli-Amerikan uutisoinnista vuosina 2010-2013. Huumeparonin käsikirja on hänen esikoisteoksensa.

“A book like this that sets out the law relevant to protest is essential for campaigners and activists. But it’s not just a guide to legal rights when protesting, it’s also a handbook for the defence of civil disobedience and non-violent direct action in our democracy. That makes it essential reading for us all.” Caroline Lucas MP, in her Foreword to the Second Edition The Protest Handbook, Second Edition is a clear and accessible guide to protest law, which brings together both the criminal and civil aspects of this area of law and explains complex legal issues in a user-friendly format. The authors guide practitioners and non-practitioners through the various issues and proceedings, covering the following: protestors’ rights and police powers; criminal proceedings; common offences and defences; the law on occupations; challenging injunctions; and holding the police to account. The Second Edition covers all the core legislation and case law including: Public Order Act 1986; Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994; Human Rights Act 1998; Boddington v BTP, Rice v Connolly and R (Laporte) v Chief Constable of Gloucestershire as well as more recent developments such as: Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Police Act 2014; The Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020; James v DPP (2016); R (DPP) v Stratford MC (2017); DPP v Ziegler (2019); R v Roberts (2019); Catt v UK (2019); Canada Goose v Persons Unknown (2020); INEOS v Boyd (2020); R (Jones) v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis (2020). This is an essential guide for all legal practitioners working in this area, as well as for organisations and groups who provide advice and support for protestors and, of course, for protestors themselves.

The Fall of the House of Montagu

The Fall of the House of Montagu

Atlantic Books

The House of Drogo Montagu is the family name of the Dukes and Earls of Manchester who served the British monarchy for five centuries. But by 1927, when Alexander, the eldest son of the 9th Duke, married an enterprising young Australian woman named Nell Stead, the family was on its knees financially. Faced with war and a legacy of excess and indulgence, 'Mandy' and Nell tried to rescue the family's fortunes and revive a dying estate that included Kimbolton Castle, the home of Catherine of Aragon in her final years. This compulsive account of extravagance and eccentricity shows how one house crumbled through four generations.

Reclaim the State

Reclaim the State

Verso Books

The protest movement hounding capitalist elites from Seattle to Cancun and the global outrage at the military aggression of George Bush and Tony Blair are saying more than just 'no'. They are insisting that another world is possible. But if the momentum of these international movements is to grow, they must be rooted in local action to create greater democratic and economic justice in everyday life. Hilary Wainwright sets out on a quest to discover how people are creating new, stronger forms of democracy. Her journey starts in the deep south of Brazil, in Porto Alegre, where she explores the wider potential of the 'participatory budget', the Workers Party's radical model for public investment decisions. With the confidence this gives that participatory democracy can work, she goes home and joins residents in East Manchester - the origins of Britain's industrial revolution - as they test out the British government's promise of 'community-led' regeneration and use public money to try to rebuild shattered neighbourhoods.She hangs out on a young, 'dream' estate on the outskirts of the commuter town of Luton where ex-squatters and ravers join with established residents' groups and local vicars to take control of public resources and forge a new social economy. Finally, in the northern city of Newcastle, she is a fly on the wall as council workers see off an attempt by British Telecom to take over local services and win the battle for a democratic public alternative. Wainwright concludes with a set of proposals for turning resistance into lasting institutions of participatory democracy - an embedded bargaining power against corporate and military elites. This, she argues, will require very different kinds of political parties from the ones currently alienating voters. Reclaim the State shows that the foundations for new political directions already exist, and provides imaginative and practical tools for building on them.

Inheritance of Empire

Inheritance of Empire

A Martin Wainwright

Praeger Publishers Inc
1993
sidottu
This book considers the forces that shaped India's postwar position as a major power. It examines the growth and development of India's defense infrastructure from the eve of the Second World War in 1938 through the transfer of power and partition in 1947 to the creation of the Baghdad Pact in 1955. The study shows how the British invested in the expansion of India's defense infrastructure during the Second World War in order to defend their imperial interests east of Suez. It also examines the effects of partition and de jure independence on India's access to this infrastructure. Finally, it analyzes the impact that India's possession of this infrastructure had on three developments of major importance to postwar geopolitics: India's leadership of newly independent former colonies, the decline of the British empire east of Suez, and the origins of the Cold War in Asia.

Fighting for Breath

Fighting for Breath

Anna Lora-Wainwright

University of Hawai'i Press

Numerous reports of “cancer villages” have appeared in the past decade in both Chinese and Western media, highlighting the downside of China’s economic development. Less generally known is how people experience and understand cancer in areas where there is no agreement on its cause. Who or what do they blame? How do they cope with its onset? Fighting for Breath is the first ethnography to offer a bottom-up account of how rural families strive to make sense of cancer and care for sufferers. It addresses crucial areas of concern such as health, development, morality, and social change in an effort to understand what is at stake in the contemporary Chinese countryside.Encounters with cancer are instances in which social and moral fault lines may become visible. Anna Lora-Wainwright combines powerful narratives and critical engagement with an array of scholarly debates in sociocultural and medical anthropology and in the anthropology of China. The result is a moving exploration of the social inequities endemic to post-1949 China and the enduring rural-urban divide that continues to challenge social justice in the People’s Republic. In-depth case studies present villagers’ “fight for breath” as both a physical and social struggle to reclaim a moral life, ensure family and neighborly support, and critique the state for its uneven welfare provision. Lora-Wainwright depicts their suffering as lived experience, but also as embedded in domestic economies and in the commodification of care that has placed the burden on families and individuals. Fighting for Breath will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers in Chinese studies, sociocultural and medical anthropology, human geography, development studies, and the social study of medicine.
