I Applaud The Work You Are Doing On the Vital Subject of Trust--The Thread That Holds Everything Together. -SCOTT PELLEY, 60 MINUTES REPORTER, CBS Trust is an entity worth much more than money, oil, or gold. Winning its battles determines the purchasing decisions of millions, the choices in voting and the determination of political power. That there is always a battle for trust is undeniable. It's there because of the "bully pulpit" dynamics of power-driven politicians. It's there when we rely on our loved ones to be there in times of trouble--as when couples fear alleged affairs. It's there when we struggle to understand what is happening to our planet--when our homes are devastated by calamitous weather--while others claim that climate change is a hoax. It's there when our need to trust is so great that we end up believing untrustworthy sources--like seductive messages from social media.The battles for trust are pervasive and A Brief History of Trust brings it all to life, providing an historical overview of the major trust issues that engage us today, willingly or not, via the headlines of our daily news media. It offers the understanding of the history of trust brought to light by the stories of human interaction through the ages--from the neuroscience of trust to the printing press to the slow strangulation of political trust, from the research on "narcissistic" monkeys explaining the evolution of conspiracy theories to the conspiratorial trust between political leaders to the convoluted challenges of the Chatbot Revolution. Trust--or its loss--affects the thinking and decision-making of masses through all media, and more recently as generated by artificial intelligence. At this critical point in our culture, we face a crisis of restoring trust, with life itself and global civilization held hostage by misinformation and false beliefs.

A master class in social change--how a coalition of parents, activists, and prison officials brought a racist and destructive institution to its knees Over the past twenty years, one state after another has shuttered its youth prisons and stopped trying kids as adults, slashing the number of children locked in cages by a stunning 75 percent. How did this remarkable change come about? In the sequel to her 2014 award-winning book Burning Down the House, journalist Nell Bernstein dissects the forces that converged to move us from a moral panic about "juvenile superpredators" to a time in which the youth prison is rapidly fading from view. In Our Future, We Are Free begins and ends with the imprisoned youth who took a leading role in their own liberation. Through vivid profiles, Bernstein chronicles the tireless work of mothers, activists, litigators, researchers, and journalists to expose and challenge the racist brutality of youth prisons--as well as the surprising story of prison officials who worked from the inside to close their institutions for good. The descriptions of how communities are pursuing safety, rehabilitation, and accountability outside of locked institutions offers a model for how we might overcome our addiction to incarceration writ large. In Our Future, We Are Free is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand how large-scale social change happens.

This is a study of elite English men of English law and the methods they used to retain and justify their power and privilege, through controlling the story of the legal person. It looks at how these men of legal authority thought of themselves and their institution; how they studied and explained law; and how they put themselves in the middle of it, as the standard human in need of legal regulation and protection and in charge of that regulation and protection, and assigned to women an inferior legal role and being. The main concept employed to do all this was 'the legal person'. From the 1860s to the 1920s the courts declared that women were not 'persons' who could exercise public power - to vote, to sit in Parliament, to gain degrees, to be lawyers. Up to the end of the 20th century, and into the 21st, women's personhood remained precarious in the private sphere, for rape was excused within a marriage and female reproduction remained under state control (as it still does). It looks at the positive exclusion of women from the means of making legal meaning, especially the ability to shape law's central concept and shows the epistemological effects of this sex differential of legal power which are still felt today. Leading legal thinkers who helped to construct the concept are still revered. Law's continuing male orientation is neither seen nor acknowledged and the legal person is treated (falsely) as if he had always been and remains anyone.
