Title: Police Withhold Videos Despite Vows of Transparency

Author: Kimberly Kindy, Julie Tate

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-16

Publisher: Diversion Books

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

In 2015, The Washington Post launched an unprecedented effort to account for every fatal shooting by an officer of the law. Their study has motivated the FBI to action, and changed the way we think of those who serve and protect. After a police officer shot and killed a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, the media began to pay greater attention to deadly interactions between black men and the law. But when reporters tried to get to the bottom of some basic questionshow often do police shoot people? Who are the victims? Are officers ever charged with crimes?they came up blank. Police departments were not required to report these statistics to the FBI. The Washington Post set out to track every fatal shooting by an on-duty officer in 2015. Its database chronicled the shootings in real time, using news reports and other public sources. It compiled a trove of data, from the race of the person killed, whether the person was armed when killed, to whether the person was purported to have threatened the officer prior to being killed. The results found by the Post are shocking and haunting, from the sheer breadth of shootings by police in the U.S. to the stories of those killed. And its call to reform is being heeded. This groundbreaking book will radically alter how you view confrontation and accountability within the ranks, and offer a new perspective going forward.

Title: Albion Journal Volume One: In Service

Subtitle: Cv/Social Studies, Book 1

Author: Nicholas James

Narrator: Ellery Truesdell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-28-16

Publisher: Cv Publications

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

First published as Journal of The Gallery London in 1993 with revised editions in 1998, 2001, 2008 and 2011, over 600 entries chronicle the life of the city: a powerfully driven arena of dysfunctional experience. Episodes record incidents and encounters: in the streets, the movement of shoppers and travelers, and scenes of social and internal life.

As the journal develops, fact and fiction blend into a film-like sequence of events. Reality is colored by a seamless flow of messages of promise and dereliction, that gently gather strands of communal imagination into a protective shell. Albion 1 1968-87 documents studio-life in Paddington, travelers and scenes from social and domestic life.

Title: Hyphened-Nation: Don't Check the Box

Author: Nicole Draffen

Narrator: LaQuita James

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-16

Publisher: Nicole Draffen

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

The United States of America is perhaps the only country in the world which places its citizens into an ethnic classification by hyphenating them. Think African-American, Spanish-American or Japanese-American and you get the picture.

We have allowed ourselves to be classified in this way, like it's something that is important.

Hyphened-Nation was inspired by the author's travels overseas. In particular, her time living in the United Kingdom opened her eyes to the huge differences in American and European culture.

Being treated as simply a pure American, rather than as a hyphenated one, led her to an epiphany, to write this illuminating book on the subject and to ask the question; why does the United States hyphenate its citizens by ethnicity before nationality?

With a critical analysis of how this hyphenation serves to limit economic, educational, societal, and cultural growth, the book also examines how to overcome this way of thinking and build bridges for the future.

Members Reviews:

Excellent book, I highly recommend

"I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book, what a breath of fresh air. Having also lived abroad for many years I can completely relate. America has so segregated the American people by race, religion and any other aspect they can to de-unify us as a people. We should be judged by our merits, not our ethnic or racial backgrounds. For those of you who have never lived abroad, its hard for you to see this problem as you are inside the American box, once you leave that box, your eyes are suddenly opened. I highly recommend this book and encourage everyone to give it a read."

Interesting book about how classifying people with hyphens puts us ...

Interesting book about how classifying people with hyphens puts us in separate bins instead of bringing us together in society as a cohesive unit. It's a quick read full of interesting ideas and theories. Inspired by her three week vacation in England, the author touches on institutional racism and the dangers of labels. It is well thought out and clearly posed.

Insightful and perceptive

Hyphened-Nation is an amazingly insightful book, which delves deep into the United States of Americaâs fascination with placing its citizens firmly into ethnic pigeon-holes. Penned by Nicole Draffen, who decided to write it after experiencing a completely different culture when she visited the United Kingdom, it explores the many issues, such as education, careers and social status, which can be brought to the fore when we start to class people according to their heritage and backgrounds. This is a perceptive book, touching on a subject that I had never really considered before, but one which quite clearly creates many divisions within American society.

Wonderful & Insightful Read

Truly an insightful book. To live a life of a Hyphenated American and always feeling uncomfortable being called as one, it really is wonderful that Nicole has written this book describing her journey and coming to realization that we are being defined by the color of our skin and ethnicity before being called American. We are born as knowing and living as American and nothing else. I like the idea of being American-American, no less. One day, our children and their children will learn in history books that we were once hyphenated-Americans. Thank you Nicole.

Excellent

Excellent book and very enlightening

Title: Playing with Fire

Subtitle: Embracing Risk and Danger in Schools

Author: Mike Fairclough

Narrator: Mike Fairclough

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-16

Publisher: John Catt Educational Ltd

Genres: Nonfiction, Social Sciences

Publisher's Summary:

There is a misconception, within the teaching profession and the general public, that Ofsted, the Health and Safety Executive and the establishment are against children being exposed to danger and that schools are prevented from giving children experiences which involve risk. Mike Fairclough, headmaster at West Rise Junior School, has blown that theory out of the water.

In the superb Playing with Fire, Mike urges all schools to follow his lead, empowering other headmasters and their schools to provide activities for their pupils which include an element of risk and danger. With entertaining and visual examples of his work at West Rise, including bee keeping, water buffalo breeding, shooting, archery, Forest School, paddle boarding, and skinning rabbits, Mike breezily demonstrates how teething problems and mistakes are part and parcel of risk-taking and should be embraced.

The result is an empowering book that urges educators to cultivate their own resilience, courage and trust in the same way that we are hoping to foster those qualities within our students.
