Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Behind every courtroom trial is a judge tasked with making a life-altering decision--this is their 'engaging and bracingly honest' (National Catholic Reporter) side of the story 'Provides an invaluable public service, as the judicial branch is perpetually shrouded in mystery.'--Justin Driver, The Washington PostProsecutors and defense attorneys have it easy--all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It's the judges who have the heavy lift: they are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences on the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, called 'powerful collection of inside information about some of the most interesting and high-pro?le cases of our times' by former prosecutor Paul Butler, a remarkable group of judges--from family court to tribal court to the federal bench--pull back the curtain on the most challenging cases of their careers, sharing what it means to bear the weight of justice in cases that shape lives and ignite national debate.These 'hard-to-put-down' (starred Library Journal) narratives include landmark rulings such as the Elián González custody case, the emotionally charged Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, and the prosecution of Scooter Libby. Others unfold far from the public eye but are no less consequential: a tribal court judge navigating cultural tensions, a newly appointed jurist grappling with identity and authority, and a chilling case involving a mother who killed her own children.Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for 'unprecedented' (Greta van Susteren) reading for everyone from armchair attorneys and fans of Law and Order to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - BUDDHA WRESTLES FAUST IN A FIELD OF SKULLS, and Other Stories delves into the lives of men and women grappling with ghosts of violence, addiction, and trauma. From Minneapolis streets and the north woods to Cheyenne River and Rosebud Reservations, veterans, rivermen, hoboes, a mobster's wife, a police officer, a gang member, and a supernatural katana confront their inner demons in unflinching quests for healing, connection, and a fragile peace in a broken world.The stories explore how trauma from war, domestic abuse, or systemic violence is passed down and perpetuated. Characters are caught in cycles of rage and self-destruction, and their primary struggle is to break this pattern. The search for atonement is a central driver, manifesting in everything from formal therapy groups ('Werewolves Anonymous') to rituals like the Sundance, where characters physically tear their past from their flesh.The characters find no solace in a single dogma. Instead, they create a unique spiritual blend to survive. Lakota ceremonies are fused with 12-step principles, Christian prayers are recited during yoga, and street-level philosophy is treated with the same reverence as ancient scripture. The Mississippi River serves as a recurring motif, a space of both danger and purification, while animal spirits and sentient human-made objects serve as guides and omens, bridging the mundane and the magical.The collection is a deep interrogation of modern masculinity. The characters' violence is often rooted in shame, powerlessness, and an inability to process emotional wounds, particularly the hidden trauma of male rape ('Chorus of Stones'). Their journey is not just about sobriety but about deconstructing a toxic identity and rebuilding a version of manhood that allows for vulnerability, community, and service without sacrificing strength. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - I am out of words at home. I have grown bored with my language, bored with my voice, bored with my writing. My words labour under the weight of Australia's history. The land itself, as much as I love it, bears down hard. Now in another place, I am finding lighter words. At times, I may not need to speak at all. I smile; I nod. I seek permission to speak. Please, do you mind Will you allow me In an important book for our times, Stan Grant - one of Australia's most prominent writers on identity, nationhood and belonging - reflects on how we struggle to speak to one another today, and the importance of listening, silence and philosophy, from Plato to Simone Weil to Radiohead.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A radical argument by the leading constitutional scholar that American constitutional law lacks the resources to address our current problems, and risks making them worse 'A sharp-edged and well-informed takedown of one of America's sacred cows.' --Publishers Weekly on Mike Seidman's From Parchment to DustConstitutional theorists on the Right and the Left are united in the belief that constitutional law and review by the Supreme Court are crucial to the success of the American experiment. Both sides believe that, on issues ranging from affirmative action, reproductive freedom, and gun control, to economic regulation, regulation of speech, and the role of religion in American society, popular democracy is just too dangerous to go unchecked. In a radical and paradigm-shifting argument sure to change the debate about the rule of law in the age of Trump, leading constitutional law scholar Louis Michael Seidman argues that the American Constitution lacks the resources to address our current problems, and that reliance on it risks making the challenges that face us worse. Seidman, called 'one of our greatest living constitutional scholars' by Georgetown University Law professor Rosa Brooks, understands that a natural reaction to the current danger is to shore up the foundations of constitutional theory, uniting in the defense of 'the rule of law.' But he sees this response as gravely mistaken and bound to fail. As he writes in the introduction, 'no one should be fooled into thinking that a legal strategy will stop the broad thrust of the Trump revolution.' Seidman reviews and critiques prevalent constitutional theories on the Right and the Left, from originalism to 'living constitutionalism,' highlighting ways in which they fail to meet the current moment. Instead, he charts a different way forward. If both sides ended their dogmatic insistence that divisive social issues can be definitively settled by a piece of aging parchment, we might ease political tensions and begin a respectful and productive debate about the deep grievances that are tearing the country apart.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Ultimate Protest: Malcolm W. Browne, Thich Quang Duc, and the News Photograph That Stunned the World examines how the most unlikely of war correspondents, Malcolm W. Browne, became the only Western reporter to capture Buddhist monk Thich Quang Duc's horrific self-immolation on June 11, 1963. Quang Duc made his ultimate sacrifice to protest the perceived anti-Buddhist policies of the Catholic-dominated administration of South Vietnam's president Ngo Dinh Diem. Biographer Ray E. Boomhower's The Ultimate Protest explores the background of the Buddhist crisis in South Vietnam in the spring of 1963 that led to Quang Duc's self-sacrifice as well as the worldwide reaction to Browne's photograph, how it affected American policy toward Diem's government, and the role the image played in the violent coup on November 1, 1963, that deposed Diem and led to his assassination. The book also delves into the dynamics involved in covering the Vietnam War in the early days of the American presence and the pressures placed on the journalists to stop raising doubts about how the war was going. Browne and his colleague David Halberstam shared the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for their work in Vietnam.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Charlie Pasarell's journey began on the sunlit courts of Puerto Rico and carried him all the way to tennis's grandest stages, like Wimbledon's Centre Court. Along the way, he played record-setting matches, led history-making protests, and became part of the game's most defining stories. In Serving First, the Tennis Hall of Famer shares a deeply human collection of stories about the people who shaped him-- his tennis-champion parents; lifelong friends like Arthur Ashe; and legends like Pancho Gonzalez, who mentored Pasarell and later faced him in a five-hour Wimbledon epic.The 1967 U.S. No. 1, NCAA champion, and a five-time Davis Cup team member, Pasarell also co-founded the ATP, launched the National Junior Tennis League, and built the tennis tournament in Indian Wells into one of the sport's biggest events.But this memoir is about far more than stats or titles. It's a story of character, purpose, and moments that leave a mark-- from traveling to Vietnam during the war to time spent with Robert F. Kennedy.Woven throughout are the words of wisdom from his father and Pasarell's lessons from a life grounded in love-- for family, friendship, and the game that gave it all meaning.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Janice Fiamengo was once a true believer, completing a PhD with specialization in feminist literature and theory. Her reading as a university student convinced her that women had been unjustly oppressed for centuries, and that empowered women would lead their societies into a better future. Then she confronted the reality of female rage, false claims, the denial of merit, shattered families, and heartbroken fathers. She saw young men blatantly discriminated against in academic hiring. She came to see that feminism is a false god that leads women to hate by telling them that they are victims. She has spent the past decade alerting men and women to its dangers.In these richly-supported chapters, Fiamengo shows why feminism has nothing to do with gender equality. It is a radical ideology that seeks sexual license, unearned economic privileges, and freedom from adult accountability for women. It enforces economic servitude, shame, and legal disempowerment for men. It impugns male goodness while excusing female wrongdoing; even worse, it encourages women to be their worst selves while telling men that they can never be good enough. Feminism thus destroys the very thing it claims to seek: true reciprocity between the sexes.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Jesus Snow, a Christ-like woman, leads twelve Chinese companions, each named after an animal of the Chinese zodiac, through the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties and into modern China. They pass through the sun itself in search of the Creator.Her former husband, Wang Jiquan, is the highest official in the Lingchi region. His policy of a blood-selling economy has turned the people of Lingchi into plasma slaves-economic animals whose bodies produce blood plasma. In the Communist Virus Empire, the people have been stripped of everything: men can only sell their blood; women can only sell sex. Violence and lies spread like floodwaters; the breeding of power, money, and sex poisons the entire Land of Lingchi.Lingchi Xue, a writer and journalist in the Lingchi region, is the embodiment of the region's conscience. He investigates the origins and course of the Communist Virus epidemic sweeping the region and writes this novel-a work capable of standing beside any great work of world literature. In his struggle against Wang Jiquan, his tongue is cut out and his wife is brutally killed. Yet amid the contamination of the collective unconscious, he persists in recording the history of evil in Lingchi and in scrutinizing and re-evaluating the values of its five-thousand-year history.For the people of the Land of Lingchi, crushed by profound catastrophe, the only hope that remains is to follow Jesus Snow-who has already died three times-and set out on the road in search of the Creator.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Winner, 2024 Bourdieu Best Book Award, given by the Sociology of Education Section of the American Sociological AssociationHonorable Mention, Outstanding Scholarly Contribution Award, given by the Children and Youth Section of the American Sociological AssociationAn inside look at the racial and class divides between Head Start and private pre-K classrooms for children and their familiesThe benefits of preschool have been part of our national conversation since the 1960s, when Head Start, a publicly funded preschool program for low-income children, began. In the past two decades, forty-four states have expanded access to preschool, often citing preschool as an anti-poverty policy. Yet, as Casey Stockstill shows, two-thirds of American preschools are segregated-concentrating primarily poor children of color or affluent white children in separate schools. Stockstill argues that, as a result, segregated preschools entrench rather than disrupt inequality.Stockstill spent two years observing children and teachers at two preschools in Madison, Wisconsin. Madison, like many other small and medium cities in the United States, is segregated, with affluent and middle-class white people and working class or low-income people of color occupying different sectors of the city. Stockstill observed one preschool that was 95% white and another that was 95% children of color. She shows that this segregation was more than a background variable or inconvenient image; segregation had an impact on children's experiences in multiple ways, but especially in the ways they spent their time, the supervision and instruction they received, and the ways they learned and socialized with other children. Stockstill shows that even in high-quality preschools that on paper have similar resources, de facto segregation creates different school experiences for children that ultimately reinforce racial and class inequality.False Starts suggests that as we continue to invest in preschool as an anti-poverty policy, we need a fuller understanding of how segregated classroom environments impact children's educational outcomes and their ability to thrive. 224 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Examines how young Jewish Americans' fundamentally Jewish values have led them to organize in solidarity with PalestiniansUnsettled digs into the experiences of young Jewish Americans who engage with the Palestine solidarity movement and challenge the staunch pro-Israel stance of mainstream Jewish American institutions. The book explores how these activists address Israeli government policies of occupation and apartheid, and seek to transform American Jewish institutional support for Israel.Author Oren Kroll-Zeldin identifies three key social movement strategies employed by these activists: targeting mainstream Jewish American institutions, participating in co-resistance efforts in Palestine/Israel, and engaging in Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns. He argues that these young people perceive their commitment to ending the occupation and Israeli apartheid as a Jewish value, deeply rooted in the changing dynamics of Jewish life in the twenty-first century. By associating social justice activism with Jewish traditions and values, these activists establish a connection between their Jewishness and their pursuit of justice for Palestinians.In a time of internal Jewish tensions and uncertainty about peace prospects between Palestine and Israel, the book provides hope that the efforts of these young Jews in the United States are pushing the political pendulum in a new direction, potentially leading to a more balanced and nuanced conversation. 256 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Charts novel territory for the future of family in the 21st centuryAs society becomes more polarized around political and cultural beliefs, family estrangement has received increased attention. Going no contact with a parent, sibling, grandparent, or other extended family member is often portrayed as a sign of the further fraying of society or as a result of selfish choices that privilege the rights of the individual over the ability to compromise. In Families We Lose, Rin Reczek takes a different view, arguing that going no contact isn't done on a whim by selfish people or due only to specific individual circumstances. Instead, she argues that contemporary family estrangement is indicative of a more fundamental culture clash in the very meaning and expectations of family in the US today. Reczek shows that estrangement is sparked by a confrontation between the traditional culture - which demands the family of origin is unconditionally forever - and a rivaling idea of family that values the quality of contact, focusing on equity, accountability, personal and relationship evolution, mutual respect, and maturity. At stake in the clash between compulsory and democratized kinship is a battle to determine the very meaning of 'family' in the US today.Based on in-depth interviews with a diverse set of adults who are 'no-contact' with one or more family-of-origin member, Reczek reveals how these adults set new expectations about family. She shows that estrangement can be a path to healing, self-acceptance, and democratized configurations of family around the shared values of mutuality and intentional community. Shifting the focus from family reunification to family freedom, Families We Lose imagines a world where adults are empowered to choose who gets to be in their family - even if it means leaving some ties behind. 184 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Under colonial repression and the rationalizing ideals of Enlightenment thought, one practice has long carried the pulse of resistance: dance.Habla! explores how the dancing body speaks - how, through movement, sound, and rhythm, Latinx American communities enact forms of knowing and being that 'talk back' to colonial modernity. Centering the traditions of Puerto Rican bomba, Mexican son jarocho, and the global phenomenon of perreo, Jade Power-Sotomayor reveals how these practices transform the body into a site of worldbuilding, social critique, and survival.Introducing the concept of 'embodied code-switching' - the corporeal strategies people use to move across cultural, linguistic, and affective registers - Power-Sotomayor traces how dancing navigates and disrupts the logics of separability, ownership, and extraction that underpin Western colonial thought. From bomba's dialogue between dancer and drummer to perreo's unapologetic assertion of a pleasure and power rooted in interdependence, Habla! shows how these embodied traditions sustain collective life and offer new grammars of relation.Through performance, community practice, and activist projects, ¡Habla! demonstrates how the dancing, sounding body continues to generate meaning, connection, and possibility. In its motion - rooted and mobile at once - the dancing body speaks beyond words, carrying forward the histories and futures of Latinx América, and remapping the contours of Our América. 336 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Explores the diverse applications of narrative in law beyond the courtroom, from client-lawyer interactions to legal decisionsOnce regarded by law professors as serving an ornamental purpose in legal argumentation, narrative has gained an increasingly prominent role in legal scholarship. Yet while scholars have examined the many functions and effects of narrative in legal decisions, courtroom arguments, and the stories we tell about the law, research on law and narrative has generally limited its focus to the most overtly noticeable place for narrative in legal writing-the factual material presented in trials.Law, Narrative, Narratology explores legal narrative in a variety of contexts, including pre-trial litigation, trial argument-framing, legal decisions, human rights law, media reports on court cases, and work advocating for legal change. Taking a comparative approach to the intersections of law, narrative, and narratology, contributors consider various 'narrators' of law to make sense of areas of legal argumentation beyond the current scope of narratological-legal research. By examining topics ranging from the distinction between a story's narrative and its discourse, to the use of narrative perspective, the essays in this volume illuminate the techniques legal actors use to craft stories, as well as the narrative arcs their interlocutors inhabit. Editors Greta Olson and Simon Stern have cultivated a collection of essays by global legal and narrative scholars, allowing the volume and its contributors to assess an array of narratological issues across national and international boundaries, and civil and criminal law contexts. Offering a fresh analysis of narrative's uses in the law, Law, Narrative, and Narratology provides a needed expansion of the study of narrative across the justice system. 328 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Examines how Latino Evangelical churches promise salvation while reinforcing logics of surveillance and criminalization systems that oppress their congregantsLiving Redemption examines how faith-based institutions in Latinx communities enhance the state's carceral power even as they attempt to empower and redeem their adherents. Drawing on four years of ethnographic research across two Latinx congregations in Fresno and the San Francisco Bay Area, Melissa Guzman-Garcia explores how Mexican, Central American, and Chicana women build their own spiritual services and support systems while recruiting other criminalized people into their church. While these services are meant to offer support, Guzman-Garcia uncovers how they also end up enacting their own spiritual versions of carceral control.These faith-based organizations tend to socialize people to sanctify state power, either by promoting the idea that collective protests and social movements that challenge capitalism or capitalist exploitation would be unsuccessful, or by putting forward beliefs that the solution to social problems is a matter of 'saving your soul,' not working for structural change. Thus, these evangelical settings both perpetuate and disrupt the dominant the racial and gendered social order, sustaining and strengthening state power.Guzman-Garcia's analysis urges us to assess the gendered logics and spiritual ideologies that fuel contemporary forms of American carceral governance and consider who exactly benefits from this spiritual and political labor. 320 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Explores how feminist science-fiction writers engage with ecological and environmental speculation and memory-work.Science Fiction Ecologies traces how Octavia E. Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Judith Merril - three generations of groundbreaking feminist science fiction writers-used ecological imagination and rigorous memory-work to rethink environments, histories, and possible futures. Shelley Streeby mines their expansive personal archives of letters, journals, not Elektronisches Buch, annotated clippings, and other everyday materials to show how each writer documented environmental news, social movements, colonial and imperial legacies, and the accelerating militarism of the late twentieth century. This archival labor, Streeby argues, was not ancillary but central to their worldmaking: a form of 'histofuturist' practice that linked creative speculation to the preservation and reimagining of knowledge.Against a backdrop of shrinking public library budgets, intensifying weapons development, and the rise of privatization politics, Butler, Le Guin, and Merril fought for the survival of libraries and the democratic circulation of ideas. Their activism, along with their contributions to popular science-fiction culture and their public interventions, reveals how they imagined libraries, archives, and other knowledge spaces as living ecologies shaped by power, identity, and access.Through speculative documentary methods, Science Fiction Ecologies illuminates the counter-histories embedded in their papers, tracing how their visions challenged ecologies dominated by state power, white Christian nationalism, violent masculinities, and entrenched class and race inequalities. Streeby ultimately shows how these writers' intertwined lives and works open new ways of thinking about environments, human survival, and the futures we might yet build. 376 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Explores how Jews and non-Jews come to learn about Jews and Judaism through leisure-time entertainmentJudaism Mediated explores how Jews and non-Jews learn about Judaism through participation in cultural, digital, and leisurely spaces. Most work on religious education has focused on institutional learning, like religious classrooms and houses of worship, or on the transmission of religious values at home. And most studies focus on youth and how they become socialized into their religious traditions. But, looking specifically at Judaism, Judaism Mediated argues that this focus overlooks how engagement with the arts, such as theatre or museums or music, influences how adults learn about religion.Laura Yares and Sharon Avni examine audience engagements with five different Jewish cultural arts settings-museums, web-based performances, streaming television, concerts, and live theatre. They show that depictions of Jewish people and topics in these cultural spaces can create powerful learning experiences. However, learning about Judaism through the arts can also be mis-educative, reinforcing stereotypes or creating misunderstandings. At its core, this book makes the case that adult audiences learn about Judaism and Jewishness in significant ways when they experience Jewish culture, and that we need to expand our understanding of where and how religious education happens. The volume shows not only that religious learning happens in diverse spaces, but that learning in leisure time can take on social, cognitive, and affective dimensions, too. Judaism Mediated offers compelling case studies of contemporary American religion relevant for readers interested in how people enact religion in everyday life 264 pp. Englisch.…

In Secular Christian-Social Justice, legal scholar Noa Ben-Asher investigates the often-hidden theological foundations of seemingly secular social justice movements, exploring how climate, racial, and gender justice are fundamentally animated by Christian themes and values.Combining critical legal theory, theology, feminist and queer thought, and cultural analysis, Ben-Asher demonstrates that contemporary social justice movements operate through four distinctly Christian theological frameworks: apocalyptic worldviews that frame social crises as existential battles between good and evil; trauma-centered narratives that mirror Christian concepts of grace and redemption; appeals to human dignity rooted in Catholic social teaching; and critiques of material inequality that echo biblical economic justice traditions. This interdisciplinary approach allows for tracing the subtle yet pervasive influence of Christian thought across climate, racial, and gender justice. Thus, Ben-Asher argues, the so-called 'culture wars' in the United States aren't taking place between religious and secular forces, but between two Christianities: one traditional and institutional, the other reformist and ostensibly secular.The book contends that reckoning with these theological foundations is essential for both intellectual honesty and effective legal and political action. Providing a critical diagnosis of contemporary law and activism, Secular-Christian Social Justice challenges and deepens readers' understanding of the relationship between religion, law, and politics in America, and calls for more radical forms of climate, racial, and gender justice that transcend inherited theological paradigms. 224 pp. Englisch.…
