Publication Details

Description
In her sweeping quest to unravel the nature of attention and detail its erosion, she introduces us to scientists, cartographers, marketers, educators, wired teens, virtual lovers from the telegraph age, and roboticists building smart machines to comfort and care for us. Jackson makes it clear that if we continue down this road of scattered attention spans and widespread societal ADD, we will be in danger of squandering and devaluing the essence of humanity, and our technological age could ultimately slip into cultural decline. It’s simultaneously an original expos (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Great American Crime Decline

Attribution
Franklin E. Zimring
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2007
Links
Description
Many theories–from the routine to the bizarre–have been offered up to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. A careful study of Canadian crime trends reveals that imprisonment and economic factors may not have played the role in the U.S. crime drop that many have suggested. The significant reductions in crime rates, especially in New York, where crime dropped twice the national average, suggests that there is room for other cities to repeat this astounding success.
