The Media World of ISIS
Author: Rosemary Pennington
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253045940
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
From efficient instructions on how to kill civilians to horrifying videos of beheadings, no terrorist organization has more comprehensively weaponized social media than ISIS. Its strategic, multiplatformed campaign is so effective that it has ensured global news coverage and inspired hundreds of young people around the world to abandon their lives and their countries to join a foreign war. The Media World of ISIS explores the characteristics, mission, and tactics of the organization's use of media and propaganda. Contributors consider how ISIS's media strategies imitate activist tactics, legitimize its self-declared caliphate, and exploit narratives of suffering and imprisonment as propaganda to inspire followers. Using a variety of methods, contributors explore the appeal of ISIS to Westerners, the worldview made apparent in its doctrine, and suggestions for counteracting the organization's approaches. Its highly developed, targeted, and effective media campaign has helped make ISIS one of the most recognized terrorism networks in the world. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of its strategies—what worked and why—will help combat the new realities of terrorism in the 21st century.

The Letters
Author: Jeanne McVerry
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595395988
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
In the decade when Metallica and Guns N'Roses reigned supreme and long hair and muscle cars were the accessories of choice, Dylan Belletieri was tried and convicted of murdering his seventeen-year-old girlfriend. Twenty years later, a best-selling non-fiction writer has asked Dylan to tell his story, hoping it will be the one that puts her back on the best-seller list. Dylan's belligerent and caustic telling captures more than the events leading to his conviction; he tells of the era before teen violence became the norm and reminds us of the rigid, unrelenting world of our adolescence. More a story of a decade than a murder, The Letters translates the pain of poverty, casual drug use, the first discovery of love and sex, and what happens when you sit in the section of the bus that's not yours.

Power!
Author: John Gensler
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595182879
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Power! exposes the foreign manipulation of U.S. financial markets, which caused us to create the ‘anti-nuke’ movement and covertly collapse our own nuclear energy program! The United States announced plans in 1965 to build one thousand nuclear power plants. Americans praised the clean, efficient, and economical energy. Fifteen years and only 90 plants later, the U.S. nuclear energy program was effectively aborted. But nuclear power programs still thrive throughout Europe and Asia. Why not in the United States? In the early 1970’s, an American engineer, Duncan Hayward, uncovered a foreign plot to take control of the electric power industry in the United States and thereby crush the U.S. economy. Foreign cartels were buying huge chunks of the U.S. nuclear power industry through an ingenious computerized scheme. Hayward soon realized that the only way to stop them was to remove their primary target, the nuclear power industry itself. Hayward’s plan, approved at the highest government levels, would systematically destroy the nuclear industry. Politicians, celebrities, and news media were used to convey messages of fear and environmental disaster to the general public. Hayward and his supporters executed the odious ‘anti-nuke’ plan and the U.S. nuclear energy program collapsed, taking with it the foreign cartels.

Dress Behind Bars
Author: Juliet Ash
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 085773217X
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
From nineteenth-century broad arrows and black and white stripes to twenty first-century orange jumpsuits, prison clothing has both mirrored and bolstered the power of penal institutions over prisoners' lives. Vividly illustrated and based on original research, including throughout the voices of the incarcerated, this book is a pioneering history and investigation of prison dress, which demystifies the experience of what it is like to be an imprisoned criminal. Juliet Ash takes the reader on a journey from the production of prison clothing to the bodies of its wearers. She uncovers a history characterized by waves of reform, sandwiched between regimes that use clothing as punishment and discovers how inmates use their dress to surmount, subvert or survive these punishment cultures. She reveals the hoods, the masks, and pink boxer shorts, near nakedness, even twenty first-century 'civvies' to be not just other types of uniform but political embodiments of the surveillance of everyday life.
