Free Download The Case Against the Supreme Court (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BRQPV1SY | 2023 | 14 hours and 11 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 412 MB
Author: Erwin Chemerinsky
Narrator: Philip Hernandez

Both historically and in the present, the Supreme Court has largely been a failure. In this devastating book, Erwin Chemerinsky-"one of the shining lights of legal academia" (The New York Times)-shows how, case by case, for over two centuries, the hallowed Court has been far more likely to uphold government abuses of power than to stop them. Drawing on a wealth of rulings, some famous, others little known, he reviews the Supreme Court's historic failures in key areas, including the refusal to protect minorities, the upholding of gender discrimination, and the neglect of the Constitution in times of crisis, from World War I through 9/11. No one is better suited to make this case than Chemerinsky. He has studied, taught, and practiced constitutional law for thirty years and has argued before the Supreme Court. With passion and eloquence, Chemerinsky advocates reforms that could make the system work better, and he challenges us to think more critically about the nature of the Court and the fallible men and women who sit on it.

African Americans who moved to California in hopes of finding freedom and full citizenship instead faced all-too-familiar racial segregation. As one transplant put it, "The only difference between Pasadena and Mississippi is the way they are spelled." From the beaches to streetcars to schools, the Golden State―in contrast to its reputation for tolerance―perfected many methods of controlling people of color.

E-BooksPerforming Against Annihilation Identity and Consciousness in J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Wagner and George R.R. Martin



Performing Against Annihilation Identity and Consciousness in J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Wagner and George R.R. Martin
Free Download Lukas Schepp, "Performing Against Annihilation: Identity and Consciousness in J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Wagner and George R.R. Martin"
English | ISBN: 9811914990 | 2022 | 339 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This book outlines how the protagonists in The Nibelung's Ring, The Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones attempt to construct identities and expand their consciousness manifestations. As the characters in the three works face the ends of their respective worlds, they must find answers to their mortality, and to the threat it implies: the loss of identity and consciousness. Moreover, it details how this process is depicted performatively. In a hands-on and interdisciplinary approach, this book seeks to unveil the underlying philosophical concepts of identity and consciousness in the three works as they are represented audio-visually on stage and screen. Through the use of many practical examples, this book offers both academic scholars and any interested readers a completely new perspective on three enduringly popular and interrelated works.

E-BooksWomen against Abortion Inside the Largest Moral Reform Movement of the Twentieth Century



Women against Abortion Inside the Largest Moral Reform Movement of the Twentieth Century
Free Download Karissa Haugeberg, "Women against Abortion: Inside the Largest Moral Reform Movement of the Twentieth Century "
English | ISBN: 0252040961 | 2017 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Women from remarkably diverse religious, social, and political backgrounds made up the rank-and-file of anti-abortion activism. Empowered by-yet in many cases scared of-the changes wrought by feminism, they founded grassroots groups, developed now-familiar strategies and tactics, and gave voice to the movement's moral and political dimensions. Drawing on oral histories and interviews with prominent figures, Karissa Haugeberg examines American women 's fight against abortion. Beginning in the 1960s, she looks at Marjory Mecklenburg's attempt to shift the attention of anti-abortion leaders from the rights of fetuses to the needs of pregnant women. Moving forward she traces the grassroots work of Catholic women, including Juli Loesch and Joan Andrews, and their encounters with the influx of evangelicals into the movement. She also looks at the activism of evangelical Protestant Shelley Shannon, a prominent pro-life extremist of the 1990s. Throughout, Haugeberg explores important questions such as the ways people fused religious conviction with partisan politics, activists' rationalizations for lethal violence, and how women claimed space within an unshakably patriarchal movement.
