Frontiers of Justice : Disability, Nationality, Species Membership
Theories of social justice are necessarily abstract, reaching beyond the particular and the immediate to the general and the timeless.Yet such theories, addressing the world and its problems, must respond to the real and changing dilemmas of the day.A brilliant work of practical philosophy, Frontiers of Justice is dedicated to this proposition.Taking up three urgent problems of social justice neglected by current theories and thus harder to tackle in practical terms and everyday life, Martha Nussbaum seeks a theory of social justice that can guide us to a richer, more responsive approach to social cooperation. The idea of the social contract--especially as developed in the work of John Rawls--is one of the most powerful approaches to social justice in the Western tradition.But as Nussbaum demonstrates, even Rawls's theory, suggesting a contract for mutual advantage among approximate equals, cannot address questions of social justice posed by unequal parties.How, for instance, can we extend the equal rights of citizenship--education, health care, political rights and liberties--to those with physical and mental disabilities?How can we extend justice and dignified life conditions to all citizens of the world? And how, finally, can we bring our treatment of nonhuman animals into our notions of social justice?Exploring the limitations of the social contract in these three areas, Nussbaum devises an alternative theory based on the idea of "capabilities." She helps us to think more clearly about the purposes of political cooperation and the nature of political principles--and to look to a future of greater justice for all.

Species
Bing and Ruth is the ever-evolving project helmed by New York composer David Moore. While on a surface level, 'Species' is an exploration of the sonic possibilities of the Farfisa organ, aided only by a clarinet and double bass (played respectively by founding members Jeremy Viner and Jeff Ratner), the title 'Species' is a nod to both humanity and humility - a devotion to the godly intuition with which we are all endowed, and the humbleness required of us to perceive it. It's also about suspended time and trance; not just a steady movement from A to B, but as something that flows, meanders and eddies, like water.

Observing Justice : Digital Transparency, Openness and Accountability in Criminal Courts
This book examines how major but often under-scrutinised legal, social, and technological developments have affected the transparency and accountability of the criminal justice process. Drawing on empirical and evaluative studies, as well as their own research experiences, the authors explore key legal policy issues such as equality of access, remote and virtual courts, justice system data management, and the roles of public and media observers. Highlighting the implications of recent changes for access to justice, offender rehabilitation, and public access to information, the book proposes a framework for open justice which prioritises public legal education and justice system accountability.

What is the fear of being embarrassed due to lack of sportsmanship?
The fear of being embarrassed due to lack of sportsmanship is known as "athazagoraphobia." This fear can stem from a variety of sources, such as a fear of being judged by others, a fear of losing respect or credibility, or a fear of disappointing oneself or others. It can lead individuals to feel anxious or self-conscious in competitive or team sports settings, and may impact their ability to fully engage in the game or activity. Overcoming this fear may involve building confidence, practicing good sportsmanship, and focusing on personal growth rather than external validation.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

'Unicellular species'
Unicellular species are organisms that consist of only a single cell. These organisms carry out all of the necessary functions for life within this single cell, including obtaining nutrients, reproducing, and responding to their environment. Examples of unicellular species include bacteria, archaea, and protists. Despite being simple in structure, unicellular species can be highly diverse and have adapted to thrive in a wide range of environments.

Endangered Species
Caine Riordan has faced many crises in his unintended career as diplomat, soldier, and first contact specialist, but none more challenging than the one he faces now.He and twelve of his crew are adrift in uncharted space, so far beyond Earth that the starfield is unrecognizable. And with the controls and computer destroyed, they have no way to calculate their position or call for rescue.Instead, trapped on a derelict alien ship, they have only forty-eight hours before its decaying orbit causes it to burn up in the atmosphere of the strange planet beneath them.It’s a silent and forbidding world of bleak deserts and turbulent seas, without any sign of life and dominated by violent storms.But since the ship’s lander is also useless, they’ve got only one way to reach the surface: flimsy, foam-inflating cargo drop pods never intended for human use, let alone an emergency planet-fall. And even if they live through the fiery plummet from low orbit, they have almost no portable gear with which to survive in an arid alien wilderness.However, those who make it to the surface discover that the dangers they couldn’t see from space are by far the most deadly.A variety of bizarre, carnivorous species roam the barren wastes, desperate for food.Their primary competition? Deeply devolved transgen humans that are as uncommunicative as they are primitive and ferocious.Even more ominous, the world’s blasted cities have telltale signs that indicate its original masters were none other than humanity’s most dangerous foe: the Ktor.And worst of all, they may still be here.

Unicellular species
Unicellular species are organisms that consist of a single cell, as opposed to multicellular organisms that are made up of multiple cells. These single-celled organisms can carry out all the necessary functions for life within that one cell, including obtaining nutrients, reproducing, and responding to their environment. Examples of unicellular species include bacteria, archaea, protists, and some types of algae. Despite their simple structure, unicellular species play important roles in various ecosystems and can have significant impacts on the environment.
