Sommario/riassunto

Since 1980, the number of people in U.S. prisons has increased more than 450%. Despite a crime rate that has been falling steadily for decades, California has led the way in this explosion, with what a state analyst called "the biggest prison building project in the history of the world." Golden Gulag provides the first detailed explanation for that buildup by looking at how political and economic forces, ranging from global to local, conjoined to produce the prison boom.  In an informed and impassioned account, Ruth Wilson Gilmore examines this issue through statewide, rural, and urban perspe

Sommario/riassunto

Over the years we have heard many complaints that there is no very simple book on cardiac pacing for real beginners.
