Arizona has one of the fastest growing communities of Latino
immigrants in the United States. In response to accusations that
the Federal government was hampering the immigration enforcement
actions of Arizona police, state Senator Russell Pearce introduced
the "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act."
Better known as SB 1070, the policy allows police officers in
Arizona to arrest unauthorized immigrants under the state's
trespassing law. The law also gives officers the latitude to
question and detain those that may appear suspicious, which may
simply mean that they appear Latino. Under the State's statute,
immigrants can also be criminalized for their mere presence in
Arizona. The bill was signed into law on April 23, 2010, which
generated a number of immensely complex issues at the local,
national and international level The measure has affected an
already problematic U.S.-Mexico, bi-national relationship at a time
of increased security cooperation between the two countries.
Furthermore, former the President of Mexico has criticized the law,
issuing travel advisories, and as a sanction, trade between Arizona
and Mexico has been reduced. Elected officials across the country
called for a variety of economic boycotts and campaigns that would
discourage the full implementation of the law. Over fifteen major
cities have ended business contracts with Arizona. The State
tourism industry has lost almost one billion dollars in less than
six months as a result of this policy. This book examines a variety
of issues and consequences of SB 1070 at the local, national and
international level. It provides timely research and analysis on a
topic not previously examined and from a variety of inter
disciplinary approaches, making it of interest to political
scientists and policy-makers alike.

A Primer with MATLAB (R) and Python (TM) present important
information on the emergence of the use of Python, a more general
purpose option to MATLAB, the preferred computation language for
scientific computing and analysis in neuroscience. This book
addresses the snake in the room by providing a beginner's
introduction to the principles of computation and data analysis in
neuroscience, using both Python and MATLAB, giving readers the
ability to transcend platform tribalism and enable coding
versatility.
Erik was 12 when Gypsy decided she was through with
striptease--'I'm forty-two years old. Too old to be taking my
clothes off in front of strangers.' Her endless schemes for staying
famous and maintaining their extravagant lifestyle--a best-selling
writing career, a musical based on her life, a disastrous attempt
to turn her home movies into a blockbuster--make for comedic yet
poignant reading. "My G-String Mother" is a stylish, incisive
portrait of two lives: an awkward adolescent who was as much
confidante, co-conspirator, and companion as son, and the legendary
woman who told police at a raid at the famous Minsky's burlesque
house, 'I wasn't naked. I was completely covered by a blue
spotlight.'
