illustrated with over 450 photographs, the book is an indispensable
reference for music lovers everywhere.
Amidst the sensationalist claims about the dangers of the Internet,
Virtually Criminal provides an empirically grounded criminological
analysis of deviance and regulation within an online community. It
integrates theory and empiricism to forge an explanation of
cybercrime whilst offering new insights into online regulation. One
of the first studies to further our understanding of the causes of
cyber deviance, crime and its control, this groundbreaking study
from Matthew Williams takes the Internet as a site of social and
cultural (re)production, and acknowledges the importance of online
social/cultural formations in the genesis and regulation of cyber
deviance and crime. A blend of criminological, sociological and
linguistic theory, this book provides a unique understanding of the
aetiology of cybercrime and deviance. Focus group and offence data
are analyzed and an interrelationship between online community,
deviance and regulation is established. The subject matter of the
book is inherently transnational. It makes extensive use of a
number of international case studies, ensuring it is relevant to
readers in multiple countries (especially the US, the UK and
Australasia). Pioneering and innovative, this fascinating book will
be of interest to students and researchers across the disciplines
of sociology, criminology, law and media and communication studies.
'Beautiful and poignant' The Art Newspaper 'Absorbing... a
magnificent book' Mail on Sunday The first illustrated book on
mudlarking that tells the captivating stories of forgotten people
through objects recovered from the river Thames. Combining insights
from 200 eclectic objects discovered on the Thames foreshore,
meticulous historical research and contextual illustrations,
Mudlark'd uncovers the hidden histories of forgotten people from
all over the world. Beginning in each case with a particular find,
Malcolm Russell tells the stories of the people who owned, made or
used such objects, revealing the habits, customs and crafts not
only of those living in London but also of those passing through,
from continental Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia.
In the 18th and 19th centuries London was the busiest port in the
world, exchanging goods, ideas, people and power with every
continent. The Thames long acted as London's water source,
shipyard, thoroughfare and rubbish dump. Its banks have been
densely packed with taverns, brothels, markets and workplaces, and
scavengers - known as mudlarks - have scoured them since at least
the 18th century. Consequently, the Thames today offers a
repository of intriguing objects that evoke ways of life long
forgotten. A delicate bone hair pin uncovers the story of Roman
ornatrices - enslaved hairdressers. A counterfeit coin reveals the
heritage of millions of Australians. Glass beads expose the brutal
dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade. Clay tobacco pipes
uncover the lives of Edwardian women parachutists and Victorian
magicians. A scrap of Tudor cloth illuminates the stories of Dutch
and French religious refugees. The book also includes a primer,
giving step-by-step advice on how to mudlark on tidal rivers and
how to identify commonly made finds.
This book will help IT and business operations managers who have
been tasked with addressing security issues. It provides a solid
understanding of security incident response and detailed guidance
in the setting up and running of specialist incident management
teams. Having an incident response plan is required for compliance
with government regulations, industry standards such as PCI DSS,
and certifications such as ISO 27001. This book will help
organizations meet those compliance requirements.

Cybercrime has recently experienced an ascending position in
national security agendas world-wide. It has become part of the
National Security Strategies of a growing number of countries,
becoming a Tier One threat, above organised crime and fraud
generally. Furthermore, new techno-social developments in social
network media suggest that cyber-threats will continue to increase.
This collection addresses the recent 'inertia' in both critical
thinking and the empirical study of cybercrime and policing by
adding to the literature seven interdisciplinary and critical
chapters on various issues relating to the new generation of
cybercrimes currently being experienced. The chapters illustrate
that cybercrimes are changing in two significant ways that are
asymmetrical. On the one hand cybercrime is becoming increasingly
professionalised, resulting in 'specialists' that perform complex
and sophisticated attacks on computer systems and human users. On
the other, the 'hyper-connectivity' brought about by the
exponential growth in social media users has opened up
opportunities to 'non-specialist' citizens to organise and
communicate in ways that facilitate crimes on and offline. While
largely distinct, these developments pose equally contrasting
challenges for policing which this book addresses. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Policing and Society.

Using analysis from machine readings of all legislation enacted
between 1900 and 2015, this book discusses the social impact of
increasingly elastic legislative language on the contemporary
workings of the British constitution. Crucially, it shows that
vague legislation has a tremendous impact on policy delivery,
disproportionately affecting the weakest, in areas including
immigration, homelessness and anti-discrimination.

These days, Brooklyn is more than a place-it's become a symbol for
a whole style of living, one that is rooted in a broad-minded
eclecticism and imbued with an aura of authenticity, originality,
and independence. It has replaced Manhattan as home to indie
fashion designers, filmmakers, artists, writers, actors, and
entrepreneurs with trendsetting design sensibilities. Focusing
entirely on private homes, this is the first book to get to the
heart of the Brooklyn lifestyle. Profiling homes that exemplify a
distinctive perspective, Brooklyn Interiors goes beyond the front
doors of the new creative class-inside the borough's most
compelling brownstones, row houses, lofts, condos, carriage houses,
and even one houseboat. From Williamsburg and Greenpoint to Carroll
Gardens and Park Slope and every neighborhood in between, the
connecting thread is a brilliant resourcefulness. There is also an
uncanny knack for beautifully reconciling a respect for tradition,
an embrace of modernism, and a new love of the handcrafted (one
that is broader and more syncretic than what's become typical of
the borough). In the end, the Brooklyn ideal is to carve out one's
own niche within a tightly developed urban environment-thus these
examples provide aesthetic lessons for people all over the country.
Focussing specifically on reflexology of the hands, this book
covers all the information needed for effective practice, increased
understanding of theory, and skill development. Fully illustrated
with photographs and diagrams, expert author Nicola Hall describes
the positions and functions of the reflex areas in each hand, and
covers the basics of body and hand anatomy. She introduces a wide
range of techniques and explains how they relate to each reflex
area, as well as exploring which reflex areas to target in order to
treat common conditions and disorders. In addition to basic hand
reflexology, other traditions are described, including Meridian
therapy, Korean Hand Reflexology, Vertical Hand Reflexology,
Synergetic Reflexology and Nail Reflexology, giving practitioners
and students a complete overview of the modality.
