The Most Dangerous Police Book Ever Written... After Frank O'Ryan gets shot, his first assignment is working with the most disliked man in his police department, Detective Vic Ajax. Ajax isn't like the other cops. He doesn't like them and they don't like him. He steals trash from suspected drug dealers, searching for evidence. He conducts a futile war with an administration that thinks the only sign of a good cop is writing traffic tickets and waving to soccer moms during school crossings. He hunts pedophiles. Now, Frank will enter a world where being real police means laying so much of your soul on the line, you might not make it out. But as Vic explains, if it keeps a little girl from having to testify about what some monster did to her, it's worth it. Together, they'll resort to any means necessary to take down the scumbags, even if it means employing the interrogative services of a man in a six-foot bunny costume called The Truth Rabbit. Readers the world over have called Superbia's author the 21st Century Ed McBain novel and the successor to Joseph Wambaugh. Both a best-selling author and career police officer, Bernard Schaffer's experience in patrol, narcotics, and investigations has filled the pages with a degree of accuracy and bold, raw, truth that cannot be found in any other work of literature. Often compared to The Wire, the Superbia books have been called the "Most subversive" account of law enforcement since Serpico.

Vic Ajax is back! In the first Superbia, readers clung to the doomed, yet captivating, persona of Vic Ajax. His loss set the ground rules for the entire series. Justice comes at a cost, one that gets paid by the people who serve it best. Now, Vic has returned to delight and terrify those willing to walk down the back alleys of Superbia with her finest Not-Even-Promoted Detective. In Superbia: Down to Zero, a bank robbery has gone horribly wrong and Vic will stop at nothing to settle up with the powers that be. This specially-priced novella is approximately half the size of a full length novel, and a third of the price.

In early 2012, author Bernard Schaffer released the first volume of Superbia, a stunning portrait of life for suburban police detectives battling the system as much as they fight crime. That book entered the Kindle Top 100 in February of the same year. Superbia 2 quickly followed to continue the story in a series that has been praised for its humor, honesty, and bravery. Now, for one low price, readers can enjoy books one and two of the SUPERBIA series, as well as supplemental materials that include interviews with the author and his best-selling Way of the Warrior essay detailing his philosophy of Law Enforcement. The First Book Superbia 1: Police Officer Frank O'Ryan's knee exploded when struck by a bullet from the kid's gun. It was a junk gun, something with duct tape wrapped around the handle. It worked just fine though and Frank was going down. His sergeant squirmed on the pavement, bleeding out from a gunshot to the chest, begging Frank not to let him die. Frank raised his weapon and fired. One round. Center mass of the suspect's chest. It was just a kid. Not-Even-Promoted Detective Vic Ajax is the most hated man in his small suburban police department. The kind of cop who spends more time with drug dealers and burglars than he does with other cops, probably because he likes the dirtballs better. The brass keeps Vic down in the basement by himself, until the day Frank O'Ryan returns to work and gets ordered to be his partner. Together, they'll take a journey into the dark heart of The Job. Superbia is a world filled with grandfatherly pedophiles and drug zombies who hide their stashes in dirty baby diapers. It's a place where a group of rogue cops rely on an angry six-foot bunny called the Truth Rabbit for really tough interrogations. In Superbia, doing the right thing can be a fatal career move and the bosses are more dangerous than any crook on the street. Superbia is the funniest, scariest, most brutal account of what good cops truly experience and most of the world never gets to know. The Sequel Superbia 2: Police Officer Frank O'Ryan's life hasn't gotten any easier since becoming his department's only Not-Even-Promoted Detective. His mentor Vic is dead and gone, and yet still insists on harassing Frank to settle the score with their nemesis, the sadistic Chief Erinnyes. The clock is ticking until Frank's final showdown, but first there are drug dealers to pursue, a beautiful new CI with grabby hands to avoid, and a violent murderer to apprehend. Superbia 2 picks up where the first best-selling entry in the series left off and continues the groundbreaking series about what it's like to wear the badge. Not the fancy places you always hear about like New York and LA. The down and dirty suburbs where there's no back up and only the suck-ups survive. The Essay Way of the Warrior details the author's experiences as a real-life police officer and offers insight as to what it means to protect and serve.

Understanding that Livy, Cicero, and Sallust were rough contemporaries enmeshed in the same political turmoil of the late Roman Republic and aware of the same political terminology, this thesis will track the use of the word superbia, which translates to "proud" or "arrogant," in select Late Roman Republican texts. More specifically, it will focus on the selected texts as they describe key moments in the beginning and ending of the Republic in an effort to determine why certain individuals or groups were described as proud or arrogant by the authors of the texts. In doing so, I will attempt to compare the use of the word by the selected authors and contrast the behavior of the individuals they are describing in an effort to determine if the use of the word superbia is neutral and descriptive or if there is a personal and political agenda at work within the respective texts and, if so, explore why that bias exists. And while the overwhelming majority of instances of the Latin word for 'arrogance' (and related terms like 'pride' ) will appear in the noun form superbia, there will be occasion to employ the adjectival form superbus (even in the superlative degree) and the comparative adverbial form superbius. The argument that I am advancing in this thesis will not be altered by the use of these non-noun forms.

The Mismeasure Of The Self written by Alessandra Tanesini and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021 with Philosophy categories.
The Mismeasure of the Self is dedicated to vices that blight many lives. They are the vices of superiority, characteristic of those who feel entitled, superior and who have an inflated opinion of themselves, and those of inferiority, typical of those who are riddled with self-doubt and feel inferior. Arrogance, narcissism, haughtiness, and vanity are among the first group. Self-abasement, fatalism, servility, and timidity exemplify the second. This book shows these traits to be to vices of self-evaluation and describes their pervasive harmful effects in some detail. Even though the influence of these traits extends to any aspect of life, the focus of this book is their damaging impact on the life of the intellect. Tanesini develops and defends a view of these vices that puts vicious motivations at their core. The analyses developed in this work build on empirical research in attitude psychology and on philosophical theories in virtue ethics and epistemology. The book concludes with a positive proposal for weakening vice and promoting virtue.
