A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist exposes the tragedy of a modern-day debtor's prison: After stealing $8 in mascara, she was held for a year and owed the government five figures in "jail costs." St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Tony Mesenger has spent years chronicling in town and municipal courts how poor Americans are convicted of misdemeanors and then saddled with hefty fines and fees. If they cannot pay, they are often sent to prison and asked to pay for accommodation, and the cycle quickly builds up a mountain of debt that can take many years to pay off. These insidious punitive measures, used to plug shortfalls in local and state budgets, often overseen by for-profit corporations, are one of the core issues of the criminal justice reform movement. ?

A world of hotter temperatures, more floods and droughts, and more disasters is approaching. We are in a new geological epoch-the Anthropocene. Humans have not only changed the natural environment on the surface, but also affected oceans, forests, rivers, and the terrain of more than half of the earth's surface from the inside out. We even genetically change the types of plants and animals. Humanity is getting stronger and stronger, but losing control on more levels. We'll read about the most cutting-edge, wildest plans to combat global warming: launching tiny diamonds or other particles into the stratosphere-"like sprinkling the world with pixie dust"-to simulate what would happen after a volcanic eruption, using reflective particles to reduce the temperature of the sun as it reaches the ground. Solar geoengineering works quickly, but it also comes with unknown side effects. What researchers are sure of is that this will change the look of the sky, and the new "sky blue" will be white. This time, Colbert will examine how humans, sometimes bravely and sometimes foolishly, change nature in order to control it, how they destroy within a few decades things that took millions of years to create, and how they try to undo the damage they have caused by interfering with nature.

Promoted by Silicon Valley venture capital, two college students gave full play to their innovative spirit. In addition to developing e-cigarette device components and outsourcing them to China and other countries for production, they also invited top chemists to concoct a variety of e-liquid flavors. This is one of Juul's tricks to attract young people. Another is to hire a large number of internet celebrities and young entertainers for marketing and promotion. ? As a result, Juul quickly became the highest-selling e-cigarette on the market, and its company also became one of the fastest-growing "unicorn" companies in the history of Silicon Valley, with annual employee bonuses averaging $1.3 Million each...? At the same time, tobacco giant Philip Morris, the manufacturer of Marlboro, was caught in the anti-smoking movement and was plagued by long-term lawsuits.

"The Ten Years' War" is the most authoritative narrative and discussion of the debate over "Obamacare" in the United States. Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act, is the most extensive and important legislation in the United States in the past half century. It has touched the hearts of ordinary people and the interests of many industries, groups, and individuals, and has become a significant political struggle for Americans in this era. Through hundreds of hours of interviews with medical experts, senior officials at multiple levels of government, both parties, and even President Obama, as well as related logs, emails, memos, etc., The author takes readers into debate scenes such as Capitol Hill, city hall meetings, the West Wing of the White House, and even Trump Tower to show how this law was formed, why it looks like this, and what it means to ordinary Americans. ? From the formulation to the introduction and implementation of Obamacare, it took ten years before and after, trying to reconcile pragmatism and idealism, private interests and public interests.

The story of small and micro businesses has always been one of struggle to survive. Technological progress, changes in taste, market transformation, and the emergence of new competitors will frequently put small and micro enterprises into trouble. In recent decades, it has become increasingly difficult for small and micro enterprises to survive. In the United States, one-third of small and micro businesses do not survive more than two years; half fail within five years of opening; and less than one-third can survive ten years. Floods, hurricanes, fires, supply chain disruptions, discrimination by banks, especially against women and people of color: it's a miracle that any small business survives. In 2020, the Brookings Institution declared the COVID-19 epidemic to be "the greatest existential threat facing small and micro businesses in the United States." Some predict that one in four small businesses will permanently close due to the pandemic. Others put the figure at one-third or higher. In nearly every survey conducted in spring 2020, more than half of local businesses said they were at risk of closing. Everyone agrees that small businesses are critical to the health of the economy, and job growth in the United States is driven almost entirely by small businesses. However, as the smallest government agency in the United States, the Small Business Administration's annual budget is less than the Department of Defense spends in a day. In August 2020, amid the raging epidemic, Pulitzer Prize winner Gary Rivlin hit the road again and interviewed more than 200 subjects and more than 60 small and micro business owners. Originally, he was worried that he would witness and record a large-scale collapse of small and micro enterprises. However, he did not expect that he discovered so many unexpected, interesting and even exciting stories.

The chaotic and chaotic post-war Japan was also filled with a liberal and open-minded atmosphere. In that era, journalists could become stars or heroes. Kazuhiro Tatematsu, the social affairs reporter of the national major newspaper "The Yomiuri Shimbun", is one of the best. He has constant exclusive news and shines in troubled times. But such an era did not last long. With the development of the post-war economy, the Japanese financial community urgently needs conservative forces to achieve political stability. In 1955, following this trend, the democratic and liberal parties united, and the single conservative party, the Liberal Democratic Party, was born. This was the beginning of the 55-year system. A conservative permanent regime was promised, and structural corruption in which government, finance, and officials colluded with each other became more and more intense. With the establishment of the conservative political system, the institutionalization of newspapers is also advancing, and the strengthening of management systems has ended the disorder and freedom after the war. In 1957, after reporting on a bribery case related to the Prostitution Prevention Act, Tatsumatsu, who did not want to disclose the identity of the reporter, was arrested on charges of defamation. This was unprecedented in Japanese journalism and was indeed strange. It turned out that Lisong was involved in a power struggle within the prosecutor's office. Some people want to catch the prosecutor who leaked the secret and suppress his opponents on the grounds that the official violated the National Civil Service Law. The stubborn Lisong adheres to the professional ethics of journalists and always refuses to betray informants...

In October 2001, less than a month after the "9/11" incident, the United States suffered its first major bioterrorism incident: anthrax attack. In "The Devil in the Freezer," Richard Preston takes us inside the U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, once the headquarters for U. S. Bioweapons development and now the center of the nation's biodefense. For Peter Yellin, a top virologist at the U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, his most urgent task was developing a drug to fight smallpox. The smallpox virus claimed more than 1 billion lives and changed the course of world history. In 1980, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been eradicated from the earth, which was one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. Currently, smallpox strains are contained in high-security freezers at two locations: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and a virology institute in Siberia. But the demon in the freezer has been unleashed. Biologists in clandestine laboratories are almost certainly using genetic engineering to create a new supervirus, a smallpox virus that is resistant to all vaccines.

Elliott Aikman can be said to be a veteran of the United States' "War on Terror." Since the war in Afghanistan started in 2001, he has joined the U. S. Marine Corps Reconnaissance Company, Special Operations Forces, and the CIA. He has fought in two battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan for ten years, and has won the Silver Star Medal, the Bronze Star Medal, and the Purple Heart Medal. This veteran personally experienced the bloodshed, cruelty and instability of this war, and witnessed the ugly face of war, from raids to ambush, from suppression to assassination, and voluntarily chose to retire in 2011. However, the war did not exit his life. ? In August 2021, when news of the fall of Kabul came, the former special forces soldier who was on vacation with his family in Rome had to think about the inevitable sunset of today's empire among the ruins of the past empire, and could not help but participate in that war for the last time in a way that he had not foreseen, writing a bleak final chapter for it.

How does it feel to have a hard-core father who enjoys all the joys of life throughout his life, switching seamlessly between boxer, bullfighter, war correspondent, jungle hunter, sea fisherman, and Nobel Prize-winning writer? How does a great writer who knows his child's weight as well as the number of pages in his manuscript make his letters shine a light on the relationship between father and son? This book is a selection of nearly thirty years of correspondence between Hemingway and his second son, Patrick. These family letters began when Patrick was four years old when he received the first letter from his father who was about to go on a safari in East Africa, and ended in the summer of 1961 when everything ended with a shotgun. The two generations of father and son explored the beauty of life, smiled at the stupidity of the world, and solved the puzzles of life through short and affectionate exchanges about hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities that are infinitely close to nature, and about school education, career planning, family ethics, and other required courses for growth. The responses are humorous, lively and thought-provoking, breaking the stereotype of Hemingway as a "tough guy" and restoring the chivalrous and tender-hearted side of a great writer. The image of a loving father full of confidence and contradictions, tolerance and entanglement in fatherhood emerges vividly on the page. As part of the research on Hemingway's life, this book is also an extremely precious first-hand historical material.

In 2009, when Becky Cooper, a junior, first heard rumors about Jane Britton's murder, she was immediately drawn to the story. The story centers on Britten's alleged affair with a married professor, who allegedly killed her when Britten threatened to reveal details of their relationship. The more he learned about the young woman, the more Cooper felt "her relationship to herself was more alchemical than rational," but he also worried about the extent to which an "omnipotent" institution like Harvard "would go to ensure that this was not exposed." It was not until he returned to New York in 2012 that Cooper began to fully investigate the details behind Jane's tragic death. She scoured the Internet for information and went undercover that fall as a Harvard undergraduate to learn more about the married professor suspected of murdering Britton. In the months and years that followed, Cooper secretly interviewed graduate students in the anthropology department and Jane's friends, joined an online group of amateur sleuths, and studied articles in newspapers including the Harvard Crimson. Details emerge that not only complicate the case, but also reveal tangled questions about other suspects, personal secrets and systemic betrayals at Harvard and law enforcement. Jane's story is no longer a murder mystery that DNA evidence finally revealed in 2018, but a story of gender inequality in academia, about "cowboy culture" among empowered male elites, the silencing effects of the system, and our impulse to rewrite the stories of female victims.
