Calls to defund the police or to stop brutal police violence, argue Mark Maguire and Setha Low, will never succeed as long as there are those who enjoy and take comfort in security capitalism. Security capitalism can be recognized by the marks it leaves on society, remaking public space in its own image—privatized, fortified, unequal, striated, and access-controlled.

Holey Ship High in Transport
Holey Ship High In Transport: I Had Cancer is an engaging and thought-provoking memoir that looks back on the Matthew G. Walton, D.O.’s experiences battling cancer at the age of thirteen. Diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, Dr. Walton endured brain surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy over the course of a year. He utilizes the challenges he and his family faced to discuss how we can reframe experiences and overcome obstacles. In his case, humor became an important coping mechanism, and he also demonstrates how the support of his extended family, friends, and members of the medical community left a lasting impression. In addition to Dr. Walton’s own perspective as a cancer survivor, his father, Gary A. Walton, also shares memories of his son’s treatement and his own reflections on how the family coped and the support they received, often from unanticipated sources. Throughout Holey Ship High In Transport: I Had Cancer, the authors offer encouragement not only to those facing medical crises, but to anyone seeking to learn how to overcome challenges and to support others in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Blind Impulse
Diverted from an Ebola conference in Zaire, Dr. Cynthia Marsh, world renowned expert on emerging diseases, suddenly confronts a virus from hell. She soon discovers that variola d is a man-made microbe, engineered not merely to infect and multiply, but to mutate.

But who hypnotized them? And what exactly has he programmed them to do? Parke turns to Dr. Gabriel Moore, a psychologist specializing in amnesia. Toget...
