The Rise of Victimhood Culture offers a framework for understanding
recent moral conflicts at U.S. universities, which have bled into
society at large. These are not the familiar clashes between
liberals and conservatives or the religious and the secular:
instead, they are clashes between a new moral culture-victimhood
culture-and a more traditional culture of dignity. Even as students
increasingly demand trigger warnings and "safe spaces," many young
people are quick to police the words and deeds of others, who in
turn claim that political correctness has run amok. Interestingly,
members of both camps often consider themselves victims of the
other. In tracking the rise of victimhood culture, Bradley Campbell
and Jason Manning help to decode an often dizzying cultural milieu,
from campus riots over conservative speakers and debates around
free speech to the election of Donald Trump.
Discover the pillars of AWS infrastructure automation, starting
with API-driven infrastructure concepts and its immediate benefits
such as increased agility, automation of the infrastructure life
cycle, and flexibility in experimenting with new architectures.
With this base established, the book discusses
infrastructure-as-code concepts in a general form, establishing
principled outcomes such as security and reproducibility.
Inescapably, we delve into how these concepts enable and underpin
the DevOps movement. The Definitive Guide to AWS Infrastructure
Automation begins by discussing services and tools that enable
infrastructure-as-code solutions; first stop: AWS's CloudFormation
service. You'll then cover the ever-expanding ecosystem of tooling
emerging in this space, including CloudFormation wrappers such as
Troposphere and orchestrators such as Sceptre, to completely
independent third-party tools such as Terraform and Pulumi. As a
bonus, you'll also work with AWS' newly-released CDK (Cloud
Development Kit). You'll then look at how to implement modular,
robust, and extensible solutions across a few examples -- in the
process building out each solution with several different tools to
compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of each. By the
end of the journey, you will have gained a wide knowledge of both
the AWS-provided and third-party ecosystem of
infrastructure-as-code/provisioning tools, and the strengths and
weaknesses of each. You'll possess a mental framework for how to
craft an infrastructure-as-code solution to solve future problems
based on examples discussed throughout the book. You'll also have a
demonstrable understanding of the hands-on operation of each tool,
situational appropriateness of each tool, and how to leverage the
tool day to day. What You Will Learn Discover the technological and
organizational benefits to infrastructure-as-code solutions Examine
the overall landscape of infrastructure-as-code tooling and
solutions available to consumers of AWS services See the strengths
and weaknesses of these tools relative to one another as examined
through hands-on implementation of several solutions Gain hands-on
experience, best practices, and tips and tricks learned through
several years' real-world experience delivering solutions using
these very tools in a wide variety of scenarios Engineer solid
solutions that leave room for new requirements and changes without
requiring needless refactoring Who This Book Is For DevOps
engineers, cloud engineers and architects focused on the AWS
ecosystem, software engineers/developers working within the AWS
ecosystem, and engineering leaders looking for best practices.
In The Geometry of Genocide, Bradley Campbell argues that genocide
is best understood not as deviant behavior but as social control?a
response to perceived deviant behavior on the part of victims.
Using Donald Black's method of pure sociology, Campbell considers
genocide in relation to three features of social life: diversity,
inequality, and intimacy. Campbell applies his approach to five
cases to attempt to explain an array of factors, including why
genocide occurs and who participates. By situating genocide among
these broader phenomena, The Geometry of Genocide provides a novel
and compelling explanation of genocide, while furthering our
understanding of why humans have conflicts and why they respond to
conflict as they do.
