This book involves the experiences of eight people trapped in a cave. They only know partly why they are trapped there. They are unsure of what is going on in the world outside the cave and whether escape from the cave will make them better off. Because it is a philosophical novel, there are many philosophical, psychological, religious, and social discussions as they seek a way out. Facing what seems like a very possible death in the cave, they each turn to their consoling beliefs or practices, religious or otherwise. The book is susceptible to various interpretations and should provoke serious thought. Many of the ways in which we humans are ignorant are presented. The need for people to understand one another better is a prominent theme. About the Author Author James S.

More than 150 key social issues confronting the United States today are covered in this eight-volume set: from abortion and adoption to capital punishment and corporate crime; from obesity and organized crime to sweatshops and xenophobia.
The Internet has dramatically altered the landscape of crime and national security, creating new threats, such as identity theft, computer viruses, and cyberattacks. Moreover, because cybercrimes are often not limited to a single site or nation, crime scenes themselves have changed. Consequently, law enforcement must confront these new dangers and embrace novel methods of prevention, as well as produce new tools for digital surveillance—which can jeopardize privacy and civil liberties. Cybercrime brings together leading experts in law, criminal justice, and security studies to describe crime prevention and security protection in the electronic age. Ranging from new government requirements that facilitate spying to new methods of digital proof, the book is essential to understand how criminal law—and even crime itself—have been transformed in our networked world.
