"Wer glaubt, schon alles über Chomsky zu wissen, sollte dieses Werk lesen." Ted Rall Deutsche Erstausgabe einer außergewöhnlichen Graphic Novel, die Chomskys politische Analysen in Beziehung setzt zu den Kämpfen um Menschenwürde und soziale Gerechtigkeit in den USA. Das Buch verbindet reale Geschichten und Personen aus diesen Kämpfen mit der Interpretation der Ereignisse durch Noam Chomsky, die er im Gespräch mit Jeffrey Wilson entwickelt. Auch wenn die Themen (Occupy Wallstreet, Studentenbewegung, Bürgerrechtsbewegung etc.) vielfältig sind: immer geht es in diesem Buch um Gerechtigkeit und den Widerstand gegen unberechtigte Übergriffe des Staates und anderer Institutionen in die Lebensbereiche der Bürger. Das Buch bietet anhand konkreter Beispiele einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Verständnis von Chomskys politischer Theorie.

Introduction: University students living in residence consume alcohol in a harmful way. Often this behaviour starts immediately. Little is known about the expectations of students moving into residence. Methods: Exploratory mixed methods. All data was collected using an anonymous online questionnaire. Quantitative data was analyzed using a Kendall''s-tau calculation of correlation. Qualitative data was analyzed using qualitative description. Results: All quantitative variables were found to be correlated. Student''s expectations are based on what they know about the past experiences of others as well as their own history with alcohol consumption. Predominantly students are choosing to drink in residence to feel connected to others and cope with the demands of student life. Discussion: Students have a complex relationship with alcohol. Health promotion is uniquely positioned to address this phenomenon. Conclusion: Higher education institutions like Dalhousie University should use the principles of Health Promotion as a guide to create meaningful change.

Based on personal experiences by the Wall Street Journal and Amazon #1 bestselling military thriller author Jeffrey Wilson, War Torn is an inspirational novel that details a young man''s crisis of faith after a tour of combat duty in Afghanistan turns tragic.Jake is a solid American, a young husband, a good friend, and a patriotic member of the National Guard. While his family and Christian values define who he is, he has never fully understood the passion for faith that his wife, Rachel, and his best friend and fellow soldier, Cal, seem to share. But when Jake and Cal are deployed with their unit to Afghanistan, Jake depends heavily on the quiet but powerful faith of his best friend and embraces, finally, a relationship with God. Despite the horrors he experiences in war and the pain of his separation from Rachel, Jake has found his way for the first time

In the tradition of Joe Sacco''s graphic journalism comes the first interview-based graphic novel treatment of Noam Chomsky''s political ideas and activism. An astonishing graphic novel that brings Chomsky''s political analysis to bear on real people''s stories on the frontlines of America''s struggle for economic justice and human dignity. The Instinct for Cooperation innovatively balances those real-life stories of struggle with conversations the author has had with Chomsky on how best to understand them. Although the themes are wide-ranging, this book is ultimately about the importance and need for spaces of resistance in countering state and other institutional forms of violence. For example, when discussing the removal of books by police and sanitation workers from Zuccotti Park in November of 2011, Chomsky paused to say "Arizona knows all about that," referring to the 2010 ban of Mexican American Studies in Tucson schools under Arizona House Bill 2281, which deemed classes that taught "ethnic solidarity" to be illegal. Rather than footnote the reference, Wilson tells that story. Like Joe Sacco''s animated political journalism, this book offers a unique perspective on current issues, while providing a major contribution to the understanding of Chomsky''s political theories.

We study the effects of urban environment on childhood obesity by concentrating on the effects of walking trails and crime close to children''s homes on their BMI and obesity status. We use a unique dataset, which combines information on recreational trails in Indianapolis with data on violent crimes and anthropomorphic and diagnostic data from children''s clinic visits between 1996 and 2005. We find that having a trail near a home reduces children''s weight. However, the effect depends on the amount of nearby violent crimes. Significant reductions occur only in low crime areas and trails could have opposite effects on weight in high crime areas. These effects are primarily among boys, older children, and children who live in higher income neighborhoods. Evaluated at the mean length of trails this effect for older children in no crime areas would be a reduction of two pounds of the body weight. Falsification tests using planned trails instead of existing trails, show that trails are more likely to be located in areas with heavier children, suggesting that our results on effects of trails represent a lower bound.

Ben Morvant is not what you would call ordinary and as a Navy SEAL, he never expected an ordinary life. But when a routine mission to protect a local village in a war-torn region of Africa goes terribly wrong, Ben is presented with truths beyond what his military training and experience have prepared him to accept. With his dying breath, a village elder passes to Ben a gift a simple ring, unremarkable except for its ever changing color and the feeling of power emanating from within. Soon after accepting the ring dark visions begin to haunt Ben s dreams. Images of pain and death, of evil and destruction. But some of the visions are hauntingly familiar. Soon Ben must return to his childhood home in Louisiana to face a dark secret from his past, one that may explain why he has the power to heal with a touch of the hand . . . or kill with a single thought. After discovering the truth about his family and himself, he comes to realize that he is a soldier in a greater battle than he could ever have imagined. And if he cannot find a way to wield the power concealed within him, the forces that prey on mankind s anger and fear will destroy not only him, but everything he holds dear.
