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.

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.

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. ?

Saving Old Street: the Death and Life of American Small and Micro Enterprises

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.

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.

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.

Such ambitions were not limited to developed countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway, and the United States. Even Belgium, which has a weak maritime tradition, also wanted to enhance its national confidence through geographical discoveries. In August 1897, the Belgian baron and explorer De Gerlache boarded the "Belgium" with a dream of glory and set sail from the port of Antwerp to the unknown end of the earth: the icy Antarctic continent. De Gerlache's plans would soon go awry. After experiencing a near-mutiny, a near-shipwreck, and a real death, the "Belgium" recklessly sailed deep into the ice floes as winter approached, falling into a cage of ice and snow. As the sun sets for the final time over the stunning Antarctic landscape, nearly all activity comes to a standstill and survival becomes the team's full-time job. And between the bland canned food and the same life, madness also hangs over the ship like a ghost, looking for the weakest victims...

When Javier was one year old, his parents fled El Salvador and immigrated to the United States due to the U. S.-Sponsored civil war in El Salvador (1980-1992). Zamora was helped raised by his grandparents until he was nine years old. In order to reunite with his parents, he left his beloved aunt and grandparents behind and went through an arduous journey. Javier's "adventure" is a 3,000-mile journey that starts in a small town in El Salvador, passes through Guatemala and Mexico, and finally crosses the U. S. Border. I thought it would only take two weeks, but I did not expect to encounter dangerous boat trips, ruthless desert treks, sharp gunpoints, arrests and deceptions. In addition to a group of strangers and the "smugglers" hired to lead them to safety, I also encountered various people on the immigration road. The author of this book is a poet, and his language is very beautiful when he writes this book. The stories he tells can make people understand the innocence of a child in the most difficult environment. What makes this memoir special is not just the story and language, but the amazing way he overcame obstacles with humor, innocence, confidence, courage, gratitude, resilience, and most importantly: hope.

The Doctor Who Deceived the World

242K0

This book records the whole process of the British doctor Andrew Wakefield, the "father of the anti-vaccination movement", who conducted scientific research fraud on the MMR vaccine, triggering a global crisis of trust in vaccines. In 1998, Wakefield published a paper in The Lancet, based on a study of 12 children, proposing a link between the measles virus in the MMR vaccine and autism. This paper had an explosive impact and a series of scientific controversies, triggering a sharp decline in the global vaccination rate of the MMR vaccine and a resurgence of measles infections. In 2003, "Sunday Times" reporter Brian Dill discovered the shocking scam hidden behind this paper after a detailed and in-depth investigation, exposing the secret deal between Wakefield and his profit-making associate, lawyer Richard Barr. Eventually, the paper was retracted by The Lancet, and Wakefield's medical license was revoked. But with the rise of social media in the Internet age, Wakefield has come back with a new look, and Deere's pursuit of him continues.

The Nanjing Massacre: a History That No Chinese Should Forget

171K01

On December 13, 1937, Nanjing fell. More than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were captured and brutally killed. While killing wildly, the Japanese army also raped women on a large scale and carried out large-scale robbery, burning and destruction. The cruelty of his methods and the barbarity of his behavior are outrageous. This bloody history is the darkest page in the history of modern civilization and a shame that no Chinese should forget. This catastrophe is an eternal pain for the Chinese people and a shame for all mankind. In a sense, its nature is more serious than the murder of Jews by the German Nazis during World War II. After all, the Nazi massacre was a party massacred by a nation, while the Nanjing Massacre was a nation massacred by another nation. This is worthy of deep thought by all mankind. However, there are still some people in Japan who fundamentally deny that the Nanjing Massacre occurred, and there are still people who write books and articles to absolve the aggressors of their guilt. The author personally visited nearly a hundred survivors of the Nanjing Massacre who were alive at that time, and obtained a large amount of first-hand fresh information. With words soaked in the blood and tears of the Chinese people, he penetrated the smoke of history and presented the whole story of this incident to readers with detailed facts.

The Rushing Shenzhen River

The Shenzhen River is the mother river that connects Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The people of the two places share the same language, blood, and share weal and woe. On January 25, 1841, the British army forcibly occupied Hong Kong. Over the next 50 years, the British government forced the Qing government to sign three unequal treaties on the Hong Kong issue and occupied the entire Hong Kong area. It was not until July 1, 1997 that the United Kingdom returned Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. "The Galloping Shenzhen River" takes the Shenzhen River, the boundary river between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, as the entry point and closely focuses on the "Running Shenzhen River". It records the development history of the two places where blood is blended and the honor and disgrace are shared. It reflects the historical changes and historical and cultural accumulation of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Starting from "one river" and "two cities", it tells the story of the inseparable blood relationship between the two cities of Shenzhen and Hong Kong connected by the Shenzhen River, as well as the century-old history of humiliation in modern China; it tells the story of the integration and development of Shenzhen and Hong Kong until the formation of the strategic leap forward of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, demonstrating the brilliant achievements of my country's modernization drive. "The Galloping Shenzhen River" records the changes in civilization and the ups and downs of the country in an ancient continent, and reveals the truth that "if you are backward, you will be beaten, if you are poor, you will be hungry, and if you are aphasic, you will be scolded." The heavy history needs giants in spirit and action, and the winding Shenzhen River needs spectacular waterfalls. So, let us listen to the footsteps from far and near with history. The great new era that "shocks the world" one by one has arrived!

The Devil of Florence

The "Devil of Florence" case occurred in the mountains on the outskirts of Florence between 1974 and 1985. The victims were a total of seven young couples (including a gay pair). The entire case investigation lasted for more than thirty years, involving tens of thousands of investigation subjects and dozens of suspects. Several of the suspects were detained for a long time but were released due to similar homicides. The case became a long-lasting, costly and unsolved serial murder case in the history of Italy and the world, with staggering police investment. The police, media, and public figures have put forward countless so-called theories about the case, each of which seems to be self-supporting but contradictory. The FBI was also involved in solving the case at one time. But to this day, the real culprit known as the "Demon of Florence" is still at large. The investigation process of the case shows the tip of the dark iceberg of Italian justice. Some people have become famous because of their participation in the investigation of the case, while others are behind bars because of suspicion.

Beauty and Sorrow: a Personal History of the First World War (2nd Ed.)

(sweden) Pieter Englund

407K0

This book is a masterpiece of non-fiction literature and a history of war. Swedish writer and historian Peter Engel focuses on the obscured little people - through the wartime experiences of 23 ordinary people from different classes, countries, and camps, it reproduces those "World War I" stories that are closer to the historical truth. What does war feel like? In that fanatical era, almost everyone looked forward to war. Many people died in unknown places, and many people shared the bitter consequences. They had hope, anger, sympathy, and sorrow, and finally became numbers in a pile of old papers - who were they? They are not the people who control the war, but ordinary people who know best what war feels like. They were excited or depressed soldiers, explorers with fantasies about war games, intellectual women who devoted themselves to medical work in occupied areas, housewives and children in the rear, and civil servants who coldly observed military and political figures; they fought in the trenches of the Western Front, the Balkans, East Africa, Qingdao and other places; some of them became heroes, some died or were injured, and some fell into madness. "Death is so silent..." Their voices have never entered the public hearing. They only eagerly wrote diaries or letters when death knocked on the door. Peter Englund retrieved their obscured and forgotten voices and restored every day of the First World War. This time, the "real" war experience will come roaring like an avalanche.

Beginning at the end of May 2011, public security organs across the country launched a massive "clearance operation". A large number of criminal suspects who had been on the run for many years were brought to justice. This effectively maintained social stability and upheld social justice. Its scale was rarely seen in special operations of public security organs in the past. Co-planned by the Propaganda Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the Chinese People's Public Security Publishing House, Dong Baobu, the vice president of the Chinese Biographical Literature Society, the vice president of the Chinese Documentary Literature Society, and a famous writer who has won the Lu Xun Literature Award, and Ding Yihe, the deputy secretary-general of the Legal Literature Research Society of the China Law Society and a famous writer who has won the Lao She Literature Award, went deep into the front lines of the public security organs to conduct face-to-face special interviews. It took half a year to carefully create this long reportage that reflects the "Operation Cleanup" in a panoramic manner. "Operation Clearance: A Record of the Largest Fugitive Chase in the History of the Chinese Police" has 350,000 words, divided into ten chapters, nearly 100 photos, illustrated and textual. It comprehensively, multi-angle and in-depth shows the brilliant achievements of public security agencies across the country in the "Operation Clearance". It artistically reflects the typical deeds of the public security police "fighting for the interests of the party and the people, and the people's police for the honor" in the "Operation Clearance", as well as the secrets of the arrest of a group of fugitives in major cases. Not long ago, "Operation Cleanup: A Record of the Largest Fugitive Operation in Chinese Police History" was designated as a key book "a gift to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Writers Association.

Of the more than 30 real cases included in the book, more than 10 are related to emotions. How many talented people, beautiful women, and high-ranking officials have been ruined by the word "love"? Property-related crimes also account for a considerable share. Some are bold enough to inflate billions in value-added tax, and some are embezzling huge amounts of public funds to line their own pockets. There are also domestic violence cases, value-added morality cases, collective fraud cases, and cases of outraged murder by humiliated female police officers. The cases disclosed in the book are shocking, shocking, and bloody warnings. The author takes advantage of the special convenience of doing publicity work in the Beijing Court in the most beautiful area. He hears and sees all kinds of strange cases every day. It is convenient to write about any kind of cases. However, the author keeps in mind the historical mission of legal propaganda workers. When selecting materials and interviews, he does not seek novelties or privacy. Instead, he focuses on digging out criminal motives, tracing the causes of crimes, clarifying the trajectory of crimes, and capturing the confession of the soul. Then, the author uses his skillful writing skills to vividly and authentically present the real materials from the interviews, forming case records of great legal educational significance, and responsibly dedicating them to readers and society. Throughout the book, the author strives to convey the reality of the life of death row prisoners. There is no mystery, no bloody scenes, and no disgusting descriptions. The whole book is full of the spirit of the rule of law, and the author's thoughts are hidden between the lines. Sometimes it is heartbreaking, sometimes it is bitter and critical, which fully reveals the author's strong sense of responsibility to society.
