Abstract

"The iconic white pine has played a vital role in shaping the ecology of the North Woods from Maine to Minnesota, and the sought-after trunks of its mature trees have influenced American history, from the American Revolution to the Civilian Conservation Corps. A "foundation species" that defines the structure of the ecosystem, white pine has been foundational in other ways-as a cultural touchstone and economic driver throughout their range. In White Pine, John Pastor will weave together ecological and human elements, tracing many critical roles white pine forests play in the North Woods and beyond. Since the clearcutting heyday of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, white pine has staged an impressive comeback, yet today, climate change poses a new and growing threat to the species' survival. There is hope for the iconic tree, however: seemingly opposing groups, including a longtime logging family and scientists at The Nature Conservancy, are pioneering new ways to protect and restore white pine forests. Throughout American history, the white pine has often been a symbol of the conflict between capitalism and conservation; but with Pastor's guidance, looking back at white pine's past can show us a new path forward"--

Abstract

"Against Ageism. A Queer Manifesto starts with what it is not: this is not a socio-economic argument against ageism, celebrating elderly as economically profitable. Author Simon(e) van Saarloos is not interested in natural arguments about age--which portrays different age groups as valuable because of assumed inherent qualities. Instead, This manifesto starts with an experience of sexual abuse, narrating the way in which young people (kids) are not supposed to have sex, but often are subject to sexual experiences before the societally assumed ‘decent’ age. QAnon's obsession with pedophilia relates to the ways in which age and youth function to support and reproduce white supremacist patriarchy. Against Ageism problematizes the centralization of white ageing, as white experiences and portrayals of ageing are universalized as ageing itself."--

Abstract

Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime uses real world examples to explore the pathologies that hamper our ability to understand and redress white-collar crime. The book argues that several misinterpretations about white-collar crime continue to impede its enforcement, including: its failure to be classified according to degrees of severity in many jurisdictions; its failure to statutorily parse groups of defendants into major and minor players; and the failure of statutes to effectively define crimes, leading to the prosecution of 'unwritten' crimes. Miriam Baer offers a step-by-step framework, informed by theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology, for redressing these misunderstandings through 'code design,' or paying greater attention to how we write, frame, and lay out our federal criminal code, as a roadmap to more coherent and useful laws. A clearer, subdivided criminal code paves the way for a discussion of white-collar crime unmarred by myths and misunderstandings.
