Against Security: How We Go Wrong at Airports, Subways, and Other Sites of Ambiguous Danger
ISBN: 9780691155814 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Remember when an unattended package was just that, an unattended package? Remember when the airport was a place that evoked magical possibilities, not the anxiety of a full-body scan? In the post-9/11 world, we have become focused on heightened security measures, but do you feel safer? Are you safer? Against Security explains how our anxieties about public safety have translated into command-and-control procedures that annoy, intimidate, and are often counterproductive.

ISBN: 9780814795897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. View -Public Restrooms-: A Photo Gallery in The Atlantic Monthly. So much happens in the public toilet that we never talk about. Finding the right door, waiting in line, and using the facilities are often undertaken with trepidation. Don't touch anything. Try not to smell. Avoid eye contact. And for men, don't look down or let your eyes stray. Even washing one's hands are tied to anxieties of disgust and humiliation. And yet other things also happen in these spaces: babies are changed, conversations are had, make-up is applied, and notes are scrawled for posterity. Beyond these...

Molotch takes us on a fascinating exploration into the worlds of technology, design, corporate and popular culture.
