Arguing against incarceration by using feminist philosophy and moral psychology, Barrett Emerick and Audrey Yap bring theoretical arguments about personhood and moral repair into conversation with the practice of abolition. They develop the concept of moral abandonment and contrast it with moral solidarity as they argue that it is inherent in our present carceral practices. Contemporary carceral systems in the United States and Canada fail to treat people as genuine moral agents in ways that also fail victims and their larger communities. As part of this argument, the book directly addresses one of the paradigm cases of wrongdoing often used to justify carceral systems: sexual violence. Current systems that treat sexual violence offenders as irredeemable monsters both obscure the reality of sexual violence and are harmful to everyone involved.As an alternative to carceral systems, Barrett and Yap argue for an orientation towards justice grounded in the requirements of moral repair. This incorporates elements of restorative justice, mutual aid, and harm reduction. Instead of advocating for one specific and universal approach, the authors argue for a multigenerational collective action that aims to build resilient communities that support the wellbeing of all.
Tankret ist ein S ldner im Dienste wechselnder Herren und ein erfolgreicher Gelegenheits-Auftragsm rder und als solcher trotz oft widriger Umst nde recht alt geworden, was er zum gro en Teil seinem Gl ck und weniger seinen F higkeiten zuschreibt.Als S ldner geh rt er aber auch zu den Privilegierten, denen es m glich ist, durchs Land zu reisen, um seiner Profession nachzugehen und er ist, wie gesagt, f r einen Mann dieser Profession recht alt geworden, aber er lebt ohne Ziel und ohne Perspektive. Es ist ein Leben von Auftrag zu Auftrag und ohne gro e Erwartungen an die Zukunft, denn als S ldner und vor allem als Auftragsm rder kann jeder Tag der letzte Tag im Leben sein.Ein Mordauftrag bringt ihn mit der jungen Gisela zusammen, die ihm von der Auftraggeberin zum Geschenk gemacht wird, um ihm den Auftrag schmackhafter zu machen. Tankret, der zun chst kein gro es Interesse an der jungen Frau hat, entschlie t sich nach Erledigung des Auftrages, die junge Frau zun chst als Lehrling in Dienst zu nehmen. F r die junge Frau, die als Sklavin keine besonderen Erwartungen an ihr Leben hat, ergeben sich pl tzlich M glichkeiten, die weit ber das hinaus gehen, was sie sich vorstellen konnte und so ist es keine berraschung, dass sie mit Eifer die Lektionen und bungen annimmt und Tankret in der jungen Frau bald nicht nur eine ambitionierte und talentierte Sch lerin, sondern eine Art Tochter sieht, die seinem Leben eine neue Richtung und endlich einen Sinn gibt. Doch es gibt da noch ein Geheimnis um die Herkunft Giselas, dem sie bei einem weiteren Auftrag auf die Spur kommen und auch f r Tankret bergen die Entdeckungen um Giselas Geschichte manche berraschung, die sein Leben in einem v llig anderen Licht erscheinen lassen.
Theas Welten' schlie t unmittelbar an die Handlung von 'Tankret der M rder' an.Durch den Tod der beiden m chtigen Zauberer Lavia und Tibald von Temeswar, die beide Geschwister von Theas Mutter waren, verf gt Thea zu ihren urspr nglichen F higkeiten, Dinge nur mit ihren Gedanken zu bewegen und sich mit Tankret in ihrer Gedankensprache zu unterhalten, nun auch ber die F higkeit, Abk rzungen zu finden und zwischen den Welten zu wandeln. Das Finden von Abk rzungen ist eine durchaus n tzliche F higkeit, wenn man wei wo man ankommen m chte. Man denkt an sein Ziel und im n chsten Augenblick befindet man sich bereits dort, ohne umst ndlich ber Tage hinweg einen oftmals beschwerlichen Weg auf sich nehmen zu m ssen. Mit der Unterweisung der Orzvarx, jener beinahe menschen hnlichen Eidechsenfrau, sammelt Thea ihre Erfahrungen im Umgang mit der neuen F higkeit und um Orzvarx die M glichkeit zu geben, in die Welt von deren Eltern zu gelangen, l sst sich Thea darauf ein, noch einmal in die Welt der zwei Monde und der Gro en Tox, jenes gewaltigen, hinterh ltigen und verfressenen Wesens zur ckzukehren, um dort etwas Pers nliches der Orzvarx zu holen. Diese Reise ist der Auftakt einer Reihe weiterer Reisen, die Thea immer weiter von ihrer eigenen Welt entfernen und nicht nur einmal stellt sie sich die Frage, ob es ihr jemals wieder gelingen wird, in ihre eigene Welt zur ckzukehren. Sie erf hrt auf ihren Reisen so manches ber die unterschiedlichs-ten Welten und muss ums eine und andere Mal an jenen Vortrag denken, den ihr Kenneth Ravensmith, der dicke Rabenschiss, vor dessen Tot ber Parallelwelten, oder Seifenblasenwelten gehalten hatte. Sie beginnt Zusammenh nge zu begreifen und lernt mehr, als mancher Gelehrte in seinem Leben erfahren mag. Es sind ihre Erfahrungen und die Erlebnisse in Theas Welten, auf der wir die junge Frau begleiten werden...

THE PARAGON is the bold and controversial epic of the journey of Jesus of Nazareth to the east, and the adventure and ideas that changed him.
There is nothing quite like hitting the road by yourself to awaken your senses, sharpen your mind, and build your confidence. In twenty-three beautifully crafted essays, women recount the thrills of traveling solo. Despite threat-assessment levels and airport-security hassles, women of all generations are traveling more freely and independently than ever before. In that go-for-it spirit, Go Your Own Way spans the globe: adventure diva Holly Morris finds herself lost in the jungles of Borneo, alone with her thoughts and a cold-blooded companion Lara Triback's quest to learn the tango takes her to the late-night dance floors of Buenos Aires Stephanie Griest finds female friends invaluable in her journey through Uzbekistan and Amy Balfour recounts a hilarious trek up Yosemite's Half Dome. The writers in Go Your Own Way pay tribute to the empowerment of independent adventure and discovery, offering up the perfect antidote for today's climate of fear and international discord. All the while, they show that alone doesn't have to mean lonely.
Geoff Emerick became an assistant engineer at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in 1962 at age fifteen, and was present as a new band called the Beatles recorded their first songs. He later worked with the Beatles as they recorded their singles "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," the songs that would propel them to international superstardom. In 1964 he would witness the transformation of this young and playful group from Liverpool into professional, polished musicians as they put to tape classic songs such as "Eight Days A Week" and "I Feel Fine." Then, in 1966, at age nineteen, Geoff Emerick became the Beatles' chief engineer, the man responsible for their distinctive sound as they recorded the classic album Revolver, in which they pioneered innovative recording techniques that changed the course of rock history. Emerick would also engineer the monumental Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road albums, considered by many the greatest rock recordings of all time. In Here, There and Everywhere he reveals the creative process of the band in the studio, and describes how he achieved the sounds on their most famous songs. Emerick also brings to light the personal dynamics of the band, from the relentless (and increasingly mean-spirited) competition between Lennon and McCartney to the infighting and frustration that eventually brought a bitter end to the greatest rock band the world has ever known.
In this exquisite debut novel, Mary Emerick takes readers into the watery landscape of southeast Alaska and the depths of a family in crisis. An abusive father and a broken home forces a teenage Winnie to seek the safety of a neighboring bay and a pair of unlikely father figures. Years later her mother goes missing, and Winnie returns to the hunting and fishing lodge she grew up in to find the world she knew gone. Her once-powerful father disfigured by a bear attack. Her childhood hero revealed as merely human. And her mother's story rewritten by a stray note. As Winnie uses the help of friends to sort out the details of her mother's final exodus, she finds herself pulled into a murky swirl of family secrets and devastating revelations. As the search heads higher into the mountains, Winnie must learn to depend on her own strength in order to reach the one she loves.
