Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy Amy Gajda 120378 EAN 9781984880741 Today privacy seems simultaneously under siege and surging. And that's doubly dangerous, as legal expert Amy Gajda argues. 'Seek and Hide' carries us from the very start, when privacy concepts first entered American law and society, to now, when the law allows a Silicon Valley titan to destroy a media site like Gawker out of spite. This fascinating and necessary book shows us how technology makes these issues more complicated than ever before, and how we can learn from the mistakes of the past as we try to balance privacy and freedoms in a modern age.

To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth Phil Keith On June 19, 1864, just off the178883 coast of France, one of the most dramatic naval battles in history took place. The dreaded Confederate raider Alabama, captained by John Winslow, faced the Union warship Kearsarge, captained by Raphael Semmes, in an all-or-nothing fight to the finish. Winslow pursued Semmes in a spectacular fourteen-month chase over international waters, culminating in what would become the climactic sea battle of the Civil War. Authors Phil Keith and Tom Clavin introduce some of the crucial but historically overlooked players.

113983 EAN 9780385546454 As flying boomed in the 1960s, women from across the United States applied for jobs as stewardesses. But as the number of 'stews' grew, so did their suspicion that the job was not as picture-perfect as the ads would have them believe. Eventually the stewardesses began to push back and it's thanks to their trailblazing efforts in part that working women have gotten closer to workplace equality today.

When Wado took over, he further expanded the company, becoming a key player in France's nuclear sector.

On January 23, 1978, Caillol and his confederates snatched the baron off the Paris streets, sure that they'd get the 80 million francs they demanded in ransom. But nothing unfolded as the kidnappers, or Wado himself, expected.

186645 EAN 9781645036586 In the late 1980s, the AIDS pandemic was annihilating queer people, intravenous drug users, and communities of colour in America, and disinformation about the disease ran rampant. Out of the activist group ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an art collective that called itself Gran Fury formed to campaign against corporate greed, government inaction, stigma, and public indifference to the epidemic. Writer Jack Lowery examines Gran Fury's art and activism from iconic images like the 'Kissing Doesn't Kill' poster to the act of dropping piles of fake bills onto the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

This deeply researched work of narrative history traces the roots of American fantasies and fears in a national tradition of selective forgetting. Connecting the power of myths with the extraction of power from the land itself reveals the truths that have been left out and is an invaluable torch in the search for a way forward.

101145 EAN 9781982123475 To understand why the shadow of slavery still haunts society today, we must not only look at what slavery was, but also the unfinished way it ended. Beginning in 1770s and concluding in 1880s, different kinds of emancipation processes took place across the Atlantic world. The devil lurked in the details of the five emancipation processes, none of which required atonement for wrongs committed, or restorative justice for the people harmed. Manjapra shows how, amidst this unfinished history, grassroots Black organizers and activists have become custodians of collective recovery and remedy; not only for our present, but also for our relationship with the past.
