Book SynopsisAn essential, rigorous, and lively introduction to the beginnings of American law. How did American colonists transform British law into their own? What were the colonies' first legal institutions, and who served in them? And why did the early Americans develop a passion for litigation that continues to this day? In Law and People in Colonial America, Peter Charles Hoffer tells the story of early American law from its beginnings on the British mainland to its maturation during the crisis of the American Revolution. For the men and women of colonial America, Hoffer explains, law was a pervasive influence in everyday life. Because it was their law, the colonists continually adapted it to fit changing circumstances. They also developed a sense of legalism that influenced virtually all social, economic, and political relationships. This sense of intimacy with the law, Hoffer argues, assumed a transforming power in times of crisis.

Book SynopsisA new edition of a seminal text in Critical Race TheorySince the publication of the third edition of Critical Race Theory: An Introduction in 2017, the United States has experienced a dramatic increase in racially motivated mass shootings and a pandemic that revealed how deeply entrenched medical racism is and how public disasters disproportionately affect minority communities. We have also seen a sharp backlash against Critical Race Theory, and a president who deemed racism a thing of the past while he fanned the flames of racial intolerance and promoted nativist sentiments among his followers. Now more than ever, the racial disparities in all aspects ofpublic life are glaringly obvious. Taking note of all these developments, this fourth edition covers a range of new topics and events and addresses the rise of a fierce wave of criticism from right-wing websites, think tanks, and foundations, some of which insist that America is now colorblind and hasTrade ReviewComprehensive and insightful, Critical Race Theory, Third Edition is a must read for those wondering ‘why the fuss?’ about racial justice and a must read for those who think they know. An essential tool for today’s world. -- Stephanie M. Wildman, Professor Emerita, Santa Clara UniversityWithout doubt this is the best introduction available to Critical Race Theory. The authors are inspirational writers who have shaped CRT from its inception to its present state as a global interdisciplinary movement of scholars and activists. CRT provides a radical and challenging perspective that reveals how racism shapes the everyday reality of the world; from law courts and prisons, to the economy, schools, media, and health care. -- David Gillborn, Emeritus Professor of Critical Race Studies, University of Birmingham, UKOne of the most acclaimed critical race theory books... accessible and informative. * Book Riot *

Book SynopsisWhat remains anti-democratic in our criminal justice systems, and where does it come from? Geoffroy de Lagasnerie spent years sitting in on trials, watching as individuals were judged and sentenced for armed robbery, assault, rape, and murder. His experience led to this original reflection on the penal state, power, and violence that identifies a paradox in the way justice is exercised in liberal democracies. In order to pronounce a judgment, a trial must construct an individualizing story of actors and their acts; but in order to punish, each act between individuals must be transformed into an aggression against society as a whole, against the state itself. The law is often presented as the reign of reason over passion. Instead, it leads to trauma, dispossession, and violence. Only by overturning our inherited legal fictions can we envision forms of truer justice. Combining narratives of real trials with theoretical analysis, Judge and Punish shows that juridical institutions are not merely a response to crime. The state claims to guarantee our security, yet from our birth, we also belong to it. The criminal trial, a magnifying mirror, reveals our true condition as political subjects.Trade Review"Using practical insights gained over years of observing court cases in Paris, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie elaborates a critical reflection on power, violence, and the penal state. In clear and accessible language, his book makes an original and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of the judicial system in Western democracies." -- Philippe Marlière * University College London *"This detailed examination of state penal logic provides a trenchant counteroffensive in both language and practice. Along with a critical retooling of sociological inquiry, this groundbreaking work offers an exploration of justice as an institution. Judge and Punish asks the big, penetrating questions that will shape the future of justice systems throughout the Western world." -- Jason S. Sexton * Editor, Boom California *"Lagasnerie opens up possibilities for us to think differently: to escape from the force of current certainties and conventions and to re-envision the stakes of debates about justice, responsibility, crime, and punishment. The revolution he proposes is mental, with neither redistribution of wealth or regime change as prerequisites, but it remains radical. Destabilizing and anti-institutional, this is an important book; its sharp attacks on academic social science and 'expertise' will surely spark reaction, attack, and debate, and with good reason." -- Todd Shepard * Johns Hopkins University *"Departing from venerable theoretical frameworks for comprehending the penal state and its actions, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie observes the contemporary criminal trial as a very different kind of drama, one centered on the violent relationship between the state and those who cannot escape it. A bracing combination of social theory and empirical observation." -- Jonathan S. Simon * Berkeley Law *

Book SynopsisA poignant account of everyday polygamy and what its regulation reveals about who is viewed as an "Other" In the past thirty years, polygamy has become a flashpoint of conflict as Western governments attempt to regulate certain cultural and religious practices that challenge seemingly central principles of family and justice. In Forbidden Intimacies, Melanie Heath comparatively investigates the regulation of polygamy in the United States, Canada, France, and Mayotte. Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic and archival sources, Heath uncovers the ways in which intimacies framed as "other" and "offensive" serve to define the very limits of Western tolerance. These regulation efforts, counterintuitively, allow the flourishing of polygamies on the ground. The case studies illustrate a continuum of justice, in which some groups, like white fundamentalist Mormons in the U.S., organize to fight against the prohibition of their families' existence, whereas African migrants in France face racialized discrimination in addition to rigid migration policies. The matrix of legal and social contexts, informed by gender, race, sexuality, and class, shapes the everyday experiences of these relationships. Heath uses the term "labyrinthine love" to conceptualize the complex ways individuals negotiate different kinds of relationships, ranging from romantic to coercive. What unites these families is the secrecy in which they must operate. As government intervention erodes their abilities to secure housing, welfare, work, and even protection from abuse, Heath exposes the huge variety of intimacies, and the power they hold to challenge heteronormative, Western ideals of love. Trade Review"An important intervention into racialized gendered states and their making of marriage and intimacy norms. It beautifully exposes the social consequences of government regulation, reminding us that the family and home are not private spheres, especially among those stigmatized as different."—Eileen Boris, University of California, Santa Barbara"This is a valuable contribution to the literature. It provides a fresh look at globalized pressures to rid western culture of controversial or unsavory practices, such as polygyny. Highly recommended."—Janet Bennion, Northern Vermont University"Forbidden Intimacies provides an outstanding and much-needed map of the many forms that polygamy takes across borders of nation, race, language, culture, law, policy, and time period. Melanie Heath's innovative methodologies, extensive data set, and analysis make the book an essential tool for historical, sociological, and legal investigations of family, and also for work on gaps between law-on-the-books and law-in-action."—Martha Ertman, University of Maryland Law School"This beautifully honed study definitively overturns misconceptions of polygamy. Indeed, it transforms our understandings of these non-monogamous racialized marital forms through multi-sited ethnography and comparative, intersectional, and transnational analysis. Its gift is to show that plural marriages endure in complex ways due to and despite impositions of state governance and white Christian nationalisms in the west."—Jyoti Puri, Simmons University"With empathy and intelligence, Forbidden Intimacies examines the troubled debates around polygyny, marriages involving one husband with two or more wives. Tradition? Oppression? Choice? Crime? With illuminating case studies from three countries, Melanie Heath throws new light on women's agency, patriarchal power, criminalization, and the racial projects of modern states."—Raewyn Connell, University of Sydney"[Heath] explores how the state shapes (and is shaped by) intimate expression and concludes that governments oftenprohibitthese forms of intimacy in an effort to 'uphold the white, monogamous, heterosexual family ideal' and demarcate boundaries of sexual acceptance, boundaries that ultimately contribute to notions of national identity. An important contribution to the field of sexuality, marriage, and family studies. Recommended."—J. R. Mitrano, CHOICE"[Forbidden Intimacies] is methodologically innovative, and the data and analysis provided by Heath make important contributions to our understanding of national identities, colonialism, culture, gender, race, and family.... Heath's methods provide an excellent example of how to do Sociology and should be required reading for anyone who does or is learning to do sociological research."—Mimi Schippers, Social ForcesTable of ContentsIntroduction: Forbidden Intimacies in Global Perspective 1.

Book SynopsisSport: Law and Practice, Fourth Edition is the leading legal title covering sports law and practice in the UK, and at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It serves both as a comprehensive statement of applicable law and precedent, and as a very practical guide to circumnavigating a complex sector. The new edition retains and updates all of the key chapters from previous editions, including the extended sections on challenges to the actions of sports governing bodies, and on anti-doping regulation and enforcement (with an introduction to the new 2021 World Anti-Doping Code). There are important updates to the chapters on Regulating Financial Fair Play, Misconduct, Safeguarding in Sport, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and Media Rights and Sport. The Fourth Edition also adds brand new chapters dealing with: -Effective sports regulation (including the first ever comprehensive discussions of the 'general principles of law' applied by CAS panels in determining challenges to sports regulations, as well as of the principles of interpretation of sports regulations). -Best practice in sports governance (describing developments such as the strengthening of the competence and independence of boards and the emergence of independent integrity units). -Data protection law and sport (including discussion of the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018 that facilitate the sharing of personal data by sports bodies for integrity-related purposes). -Exploiting commercially valuable sports data (explaining how sports rights-holders can fashion commercial agreements to meet the demand for sports data from the betting industry and others). -ESports (the first comprehensive treatment of the legal and practical principles underlying the regulation and commercial exploitation of the increasingly important ESports sector). Readers will also benefit from practice tips, precedent clauses, detailed explanations of key practical issues, and step-by-step analysis. This is an essential title for all sports law practitioners (solicitors and barristers, common law and civil lawyers), sports governing bodies, event organisers, clubs, participants, sports agencies and commercial partners, arbitrators, universities, and students. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Sports Law online service.Trade ReviewNo self-respecting Sports Lawyer, therefore, should be without a copy of this fine Book! -- Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw, International Sports Lawyer, Academic, Author * Global Sports Law and Taxation Reports (Review of previous edition) *Sport: Law and Practice remains the most comprehensive text for UK sports law...I expect to see this excellent book on sports law practitioner shelves up and down the country -- Kevin Carpenter, Solicitor, Sport, Media and Entertainment, Hill Dickinson LLP * Sport and Law Journal (Review of previous edition) *This volume deserves a place not only in the libraries of law schools, universities, and law firms, but also in an easily accessible position on the shelves and desks of individual sports lawyers, solicitors, barristers, leaders of governing bodies, sports agencies, and clubs, and in the libraries of commercial actors invested in sports, around the world...I must give this volume two thumbs up, way up -- Jeffrey Benz * Law in Sport (Review of previous edition) *…no serious practitioner in this area could deprive him or herself of the expertise displayed by the writers of these chapters… Lewis and Taylor may not be a book for a philosopher of sporting ethics, but for those whose focus is on the arena, not the ivory tower, it has everything to offer. * International Sports Law Review *Lewis & Taylor’s 4th edition of Sport: Law & Practice is not the word of God: it is indeed “merely” the assembling of keen insights and in-depth reference materials from an all-star cast of quite brilliant humans. But if not scripture, it is the most authoritative commentary on sports law in the English-speaking world. I would not dream of writing about a matter of European or British sports law without consulting it. In addition to updating cases, the new edition provides sharper analyses (sometimes provocative) that justify its acquisition for users of earlier editions and those entering the specialization today. * Professor Stephen F.

Book SynopsisSydney Kentridge carved out a reputation as South Africa's most prominent anti-apartheid advocate - his story is entwined with the country's emergence from racial injustice and oppression. He is the only lawyer to have acted for three winners of the Nobel Peace Prize - Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Chief Albert Lutuli. Already world-famous for his landmark cases including the Treason Trial of Nelson Mandela and the other leading members of the ANC, the inquiry into the Sharpeville massacre, and the inquest into the death of Steve Biko, he then became England's premier advocate.Through the great set-pieces of the legal struggle against apartheid - cases which made the headlines not just in South Africa, but across the world - this biography is a portrait of enduring moral stature.Trade ReviewWell-written, deeply researched and wholly gripping -- The SpectatorMeticulously researched -- The TimesKentridge is not only one of the finest advocates of all time, he is also one of the finest men -- Lady HaleThe barrister's barrister . . . a moral stature that no amount of moral forensic technique can impersonate -- Lord Jonathan SumptionOne of the greatest lawyers of our times - a legal titan -- Lady Helena KennedyA good read . . . well-researched.

Book SynopsisThis is a new English translation of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on Law, found in Questions 90–108 of the First Part of the Second Part of the Summa Theologiae. In fact, it is the only free-standing English translation of the entire Treatise, which includes both a general account of law (Questions 90–92) and also specific treatments of what St. Thomas identifies as the five kinds of law: the eternal law (Question 93), the natural law (Question 94), human law (Questions 95–97), the Old Law (Questions 98–105), and the New Law (Questions 106–108). All other extant editions of Treatise on Law stop with the human law, and are thus approximately one-third the size of the full Treatise. St. Thomas’s account of law is firmly embedded within a general moral theory that begins with a rich conception of human flourishing, i.e., the good for human beings (Questions 1–5). This good consists, first and foremost, in our ultimate and intimate union with the Persons of the Blessed Trinity – a union that in our present state we can grasp intellectively and pursue affectively only with God’s supernatural assistance. It is within this framework that we order our loves and pursue the more proximate goals they open up to us as human beings in this life. Given the appropriate goals, the next question is how we can get from where we are, in the grips of the consequences of Original Sin, to where we want to be. The answer is: by means of (a) human actions that are good, i.e., rightly ordered toward our ultimate end and (b) the habits that these actions either engender or flow from. In analyzing human actions (Questions 6–21) and their relation to the passions (Questions 22–48), St. Thomas gives a general account of what he calls the ‘intrinsic principles’ of human actions and their associated habits – both virtues (Questions 49–70) and vices (Questions 71–89). It is only then that he turns to what he calls the ‘extrinsic principles’ of good human actions, viz., law (Questions 90–108) and grace (Questions 109–114). According to St. Thomas, law, far from supplanting virtue as a basic principle of action, serves as an independent principle of action that complements virtue and is itself capable of being factored into practical deliberation. The reason is that all of God’s precepts, prohibitions, and punishments are aimed at promoting the good of the whole universe and, more particularly, the good for human beings, both individually and within the various forms of social life. Because of this, law serves as both a restraint on bad actions and a spur to good action, i.e., a restraint on actions that take us away from virtue and genuine human flourishing and a spur to actions that promote virtue and flourishing. There are many benefits of having the whole treatise rather than just the first few questions, as has been the standard practice in previous editions of the Treatise on Law. To mention just a few of these benefits, the question on the moral precepts of the Old Law (question 100) helps to illuminate in many different ways the earlier questions on natural law and human law (questions 94–97). Again, the questions on the ceremonial and judicial precepts of the Old Law (questions 101–105) demon-strate in depth the symbiotic relationship that St. Thomas takes to obtain between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The questions on the New Law provide an introduction to the Christian way of life that will be described in incomparable detail in the Second Part of the Second Part, the bulk of which is structured around the treatment of the three theological virtues and the four cardinal virtues.

Book SynopsisIn this highly topical introduction, Professor Raymond Wacks explains and evaluates the leading theories of justice that have shaped our societies and their legislative and judicial systems, and explores the extent to which fundamental notions like fairness, equality and freedom are reflected in contemporary society. By analysing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including terrorism, corruption and migration, Justice: A Beginner’s Guide shows how these ideas are applied in practice – and how far we still have to go to achieve social justice.Trade Review‘The concept of justice is seldom given the attention it deserves in legal education. In part this is due to the large number of indigestible treatises on this subject that act as a deterrent to teachers and students. Raymond Wacks’ Beginner’s Guide seeks to remedy this by providing a clearly written and argued study of the principal debates and writers in the field. Although the emphasis is on the theory of justice, Wacks’ thoughtful illustrations of justice in practice ensures that the reader is made aware of the pivotal role played by the concept of justice in the ordering of society.’ -- John Dugard, Emeritus Professor of Law and former member of the UN International Law Commission"A wide-ranging and highly readable examination of key ideas in the evolution of thought on social justice." -- Albie Sachs – Former Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa

Book Synopsis‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Amr al-Awza‘i (c.707–774) was Umayyad Syria’s most influential jurist, part of a generation of scholars who began establishing the first formal structures for the preservation and dissemination of religious knowledge. Following the Abbasid revolution, they provided a point of stability in otherwise unstable times.

Book SynopsisProven to reduce bad behaviour and exclusions, and encourage happier, safer school environments, restorative justice is an effective approach to conflict resolution.Suitable for education settings from preschool to college, this guide explains what restorative justice is, how it can be used in schools, what it looks like in the classroom and how it can be implemented. Featuring case studies that illuminate the underlying restorative principles and practices, this book covers a wide range of topics from the basics of restorative justice, through to school-wide processes for embedding the approach in policy and practice.Drawing on the expertise of educators and consultants, this is a must-have resource for any school or centre that is serious about reducing bad behaviour and developing safer learning communities.Trade ReviewOf the many gifts in this book, I'd like to emphasize a few. Bill mounts compelling arguments for restorative approaches to problem-solving. These arguments are presented in a comprehensive way that will be useful for readers wishing to influence others. Bill's conference preparation, told through his case studies, is impeccable - challenging us to lift our practice, I believe, to new levels. His detailed follow-up work described in section 4 also reminds us that the game is not over once a process has happened. His insights into how children and young people feel and think is very helpful, again helping us to think carefully about our own practice, thoughts and feelings. Finally, though, the whole section called Feeling Restoratively is a must read, if we still need convincing that we need to change the way we work with young people. Bill's grasp of Affect and Script Psychology (Human Being Theory) allows the reader to understand in a deep way, our emotional selves as humans - we are after all, social animals, and we are wired to live in good relationship with others. Important issues around accountability, responsibility, mercy, forgiveness and redemption must be tackled if we are to change our schools, and eventually our communities and world. This book is full of useful ideas and I hope it will become a well-thumbed resource for restorative practitioners. It's a great read. -- From the foreword by Margaret ThorsborneAs a growing community of schools across the globe embrace Restorative Practices, there exists a greater need for resource materials that will give as much careful attention to restorative values and principles as they do to technical guidance around restorative tools. Bill Hansberry has found that sweet spot. Readers who embrace both aspects of this book will be as grounded in their understanding of the vital role of emotion in effective restorative practices as they will be enriched in their ability to practice a variety of restorative approaches. -- Lauren Abramson, Ph.D., Founding Director, Community Conferencing Center, Baltimore, Maryland, USAAs interest grows in the use of restorative practice in schools, this new book by Bill Hansberry is a welcome addition to the resources available on the subject. Drawing on the author's personal experience, it provides both valuable insight into the theory underpinning restorative practice and practical advice on how it can be implemented in a school environment. By using case studies, the author also brings to life in an accessible and engaging way what the benefits of a restorative approach can be. Restorative practice should be integral to every school and this book can help to achieve this. -- Jon Collins, Chief Executive, Restorative Justice CouncilTable of ContentsAcknowledgements. Preface.

Book SynopsisThe definitive account of an icon who shaped gender equality for all women. In this comprehensive, revelatory biography — fifteen years of interviews and research in the making — historian Jane Sherron De Hart explores the central experiences that crucially shaped Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, and her meticulous jurisprudence. At the heart of her story and abiding beliefs was her Jewish background, specifically the concept of tikkun olam, the Hebrew injunction to ‘repair the world’, with its profound meaning for a young girl who grew up during the Holocaust and World War II. Ruth’s journey began with her mother, who died tragically young but whose intellect inspired her daughter’s feminism. It stretches from Ruth’s days as a baton twirler at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School to Cornell University to Harvard and Columbia Law Schools; to becoming one of the first female law professors in the country and having to fight for equal pay and hide her second pregnancy to avoid losing her job; to becoming the director of the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project and arguing momentous anti-sex-discrimination cases before the US Supreme Court. All this, even before being nominated in 1993 to become the second woman on the Court, where her crucial decisions and dissents are still making history. Intimately, personably told, this biography offers unprecedented insight into a pioneering life and legal career whose profound impact will reverberate deep into the twenty-first century and beyond.Trade Review‘Readable and rewarding … Ginsburg is a true-blue legal icon.’ -- Michelle Olsen * NPR *‘Engaging and admiring.’ * The Wall Street Journal *‘An accomplished account of Ginsburg’s life that also probes the fissures of feminism as it developed over the past 70 years … offers a humane and definitive portrait of Ginsburg’s life and times, full of context and colour.’ -- Frieda Klotz * Sunday Independent *‘[A]n excellent biography based on archives and interviews with colleagues and friends: In its comprehensiveness, range and attention to detail, this is a vivid account of a remarkable life ... De Hart’s chapters on the landmark cases Ginsburg argued, which were the original core of her book project, are detailed and accessible.’ -- Jeffrey Rosen * The Washington Post *‘In a revealing new biography, 15 years in the making, Jane Sherron De Hart helps untangle the mystery of the decorous Ginsburg as feminist gladiator.’ -- Dahlia Lithwick * The Atlantic *‘This hefty book of more than seven hundred pages portrays the history of an outstanding legal expert known and applauded for her advancement of gender equality and civil rights. It is an American story that should be read as an example of what is possible when one has family support, internal grit, moral certainty, and scholarly expertise. Read about Ginsburg’s role in the ACLU, look into case histories, watch her as a college professor, look at the political wrangling, and examine her performance as a judge in the Appeals Courts and as a Supreme Court Justice. This is a wondrous tale, recorded well, that resounds as an American epic.’ -- Aron Row * Seattle Book Review *‘An in-depth biography of the Supreme Court justice who has become a pop-culture icon.’ * USA Today *‘De Hart’s thorough biography relates this life story with a nice sense of the sweep of feminist and legal history that is contained within it.’ * Minneapolis Star Tribune *‘The first comprehensive biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg … De Hart excels in explaining the majority opinions, and later the dissents, in which she participated with remarkable clarity, illuminating the issues, the competing positions, and the significance of each in language easily grasped by readers with no legal training (for a nonlawyer, De Hart has a remarkable grasp of court jurisprudence) ... A monumental biography of one of the most influential and revered Supreme Court justices of the last century.’ STARRED REVIEW * Kirkus Reviews *‘De Hart's great strength is her ability to explain Ginsburg's cases and the legal strategies she employed … An insightful, fascinating, and admiring biography of one of America's most extraordinary jurists.’ * Publishers Weekly *‘Meticulously researched … Ginsburg’s career is skillfully placed within the context of American social and political history.’ * Library Journal *‘Passionate and thorough … A major event in scholarship on American law.’ * Washington Monthly *‘Scholarly, yet accessible … Rewarding and compelling.’ * Pittsburgh Post-Gazette *‘Magisterial and timely … Written in clear language and grounded in historical context.’ * The Forward *‘Compelling … De Hart succeeds in showing us that the 107th person to be appointed to the Supreme Court is much more than a pop culture icon.’ * Jewish Journal *‘A masterful biography that adds depth and insight to Ginsburg's only-in-America life story.’ -- Kenneth Jost * Washington Independent Review of Books *‘De Hart displays an impressive grasp of each area of Ginsburg's legal influence, from women's rights to voting rights to gay rights to immigrant rights, with a particular focus on striking down laws that discriminated on the basis of gender.’ -- Mary Ann Gwinn * Newsweek *‘Does a daunting job of restoring Ginsburg’s impressive roots … As Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ De Hart leaves no doubt that, in Justice Ginsburg’s hands, that arc will undoubtedly continue to bend.’ -- Priscilla Kipp * BookPage *‘A rigorous, comprehensive, deftly written biography.’ * The National Book Review *‘Couldn't have come at a more opportune time ... This in-depth tome clocks in at more than 500 pages, but promises a first-of-its kind look inside RBG's personal and professional lives ... already at the top of our holiday shopping lists for the formidable women and girls in our lives.’ -- Quinn Keany * Popsugar *‘De Hart dynamically devotes more than 500 pages to the amazing life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg … This extensively documented account … is also quite engaging and very easy to read.’ STARRED REVIEW -- Kathleen McBroom * Booklist *Praise for Women's America: refocusing the past: ‘Women's America is exceptional at providing a variety of perspectives, experiences, and knowledge about women's economic, social, cultural, political, and sexual lives throughout a broad expanse of time and geography.’ -- Sandra Slater, College of Charleston

Book SynopsisAn explosive investigation into how the United States of America built one of the largest illicit offshore finance systems in the world. For years, one country has acted as the greatest offshore haven in the world, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars in illicit finance tied directly to corrupt regimes, extremist networks, and the worst the world has to offer. But it hasn’t been the sand-splattered Caribbean islands, or even traditional financial secrecy havens like Switzerland or Panama that have come to dominate the offshoring world. Instead, the country profiting the most also happens to be the one that still claims to be the moral leader of the free world, and the one that claims to be leading the fight against the crooked and the corrupt: the United States of America. American Kleptocracy examines just how the United States’ implosion into a centre of global offshoring took place: how states such as Delaware and Nevada perfected the art of the anonymous shell company; how post-9/11 reformers watched their success usher in a new flood of illicit finance directly into the U.S.; how African despots and post-Soviet oligarchs came to dominate American coastlines, American industries, and entire cities and small towns across the American Midwest; how Nazi-era lobbyists birthed an entire industry of spin-men whitewashing transnational crooks and despots, and how dirty money has now begun infiltrating America’s universities, think tanks, and cultural centres; and how those on the frontline are trying to restore America’s legacy of anti-corruption leadership ― and finally end this reign of American kleptocracy. It also looks at how Trump’s presidency accelerated all of the trends already on hand ― and how the Biden administration can, and should, act on this tawdry inheritance.Trade Review‘Casey Michel cuts through the spin, to reveal the inner workings of the American economy. His writing has shown again and again the subterfuges and secrecy at the heart of how money moves through the financial system, and does it with panache, wit, and a blessed aversion to jargon. I always read his work, and can't wait to read this one.’ -- Oliver Bullough, author of the international bestseller Moneyland: the inside story of the crooks and kleptocrats who rule the world‘Casey is the foremost journalistic voice in the fight against kleptocracy. No other individual is so consistently on the case and interested in both the actors and the possible policy responses. His knowledge of the existential danger posed by kleptocracy is bar none, and we rely on his work like no one else to inform policy.’ -- Paul Massaro, Congressional Policy Advisor to US Helsinki Commission‘Michel masterfully recounts the tragicomic outcomes when outre autocrats meet serviceable financial and legal systems.’ -- Martin Sandbu * Financial Times *‘Remarkable and perspicacious … an important and eye-opening book.’ -- Bradley Hope, New York Times bestselling co-author of Billion Dollar Whale‘Remarkable and well-researched … Casey Michel shows how the U.S. has taken the top spot at the ease of doing illicit business legally.’ -- Katharina Pistor, author of Code of Capital‘An indefatigable young American journalist who has virtually cornered the international kleptocracy beat on the U.S. end of the black aquifer.’ * The Los Angeles Review of Books *‘Mr Michel builds his book around two characters, both prolific users of America’s financial-secrecy infrastructure, deftly weaving together their stories and his analysis.’ * The Economist *‘Clearly-written, compelling, and fast-paced … a clarion call for citizens and those at all levels of government who have not yet realised that we need to clean up our own act to protect ourselves from predatory adversaries.’ -- Fiona Hill, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution‘Casey Michel brings home the extent to which the United States has fuelled money laundering, corruption, and other crimes plaguing the world. His passionate writing comes from his outrage at what has gone on in our own backyard and his understanding of what is at stake, namely trillions of dollars hidden from our national treasury with help from U.S. banks. Readers will learn why it is critical for Americans to look inward and do more to stop the abuses here at home that are helping to power illicit finance around the world.’ -- Senator Carl Levin‘Rule-of-law democracies are engaged in a clash of civilisations against international criminals, kleptocrats, and corrupt politicians. Michel exposes the troubling role the U.S. has played in facilitating the dark economy and underscores the urgent need for transparency, reform, and accountability.’ -- Senator Sheldon Whitehouse‘If the right person writes the right book, and enough of the right people read it, incredible changes can take place. Casey Michel has written such a book. In the right hands, it could spur policy shifts in the U.S. that would have global ramifications.’ -- Jasmin Mujanovic, author of Hunger and Fury ‘Compelling and colourful … Casey Michel is one of the United States’ brightest emerging foreign policy thinkers — a scholar, journalist, and policy expert who has spent years chronicling the rise of globalised corruption in meticulous detail. In American Kleptocracy, he provides the definitive account of the defining threat of our era — weaving together an irresistible narrative with a bold but pragmatic agenda for reform that can end America’s complicity in foreign corruption.’ -- Nate Sibley head of Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative‘American Kleptocracy is essential reading to understand how the U.S. has become the global destination for dirty money. Michel exposes the international shell games that the super-wealthy and their professional enablers deploy to launder and stash cash. He exposes why this matters, as illicit funds disrupt local real estate markets and undermine honest economic activity.’ -- Chuck Collins, director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, and author of The Wealth Hoarders: how billionaires pay millions to hide trillions‘In this vitally important book, Casey Michel follows the money. He shows us how, and why, so much of it ends up in American luxury real estate, hedge funds, startups, and shell corporations. Compelling true-life stories, carefully marshaled statistics, and careful analysis combine to make Michel’s book the must-read account of one of the key challenges of our time.’ -- Dan Nexon, professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and co-author of Exit from Hegemony‘[Casey Michel is] owed a debt of gratitude by free people everywhere.’ -- Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation‘Journalist Michel debuts with a blistering account of how greed, deregulation, and deliberate avoidance have enabled dictators and drug cartels to launder their illicit profits in the US … Through rigorous research and cogent prose, Michel builds a persuasive case that the influx of unregulated money decimates America’s industrial regions and poses a grave threat to democracy. This is a stunning portrait of avarice run amok.’ * Publishers Weekly *‘Michel’s clear prose helps make a complicated subject comprehensible, and leaves readers with some hope that financial corruption may not be so inevitable after all.’ * Booklist *‘[Michel] is a masterful storyteller who grips readers with truthful and disturbing accounts of outlandish schemes … eye-opening and comprehensive.’ * Library Journal *‘Michel, a dogged investigative reporter, is as knowledgeable as they come on financial corruption in and around the United States. In American Kleptocracy, he brings it all together … Michel makes a convincing case that there has never been an illicit financial system as robust and versatile as the one the US has created, a shadow economy servicing financiers, lobbyists, old money and the newly corrupted.’ * CrimeReads *‘[A] compact grenade of a book.’ -- Gideon Haigh * The Weekend Australian *

Book SynopsisMax Webers weltberühmte Abhandlung Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ist kein Buch in Teilen, wie die bisherigen Editionen suggerierten, sondern ein Projekt in mehreren Fassungen, wobei sich die Vorkriegsfassung von der Nachkriegsfassung nach Entstehung und Inhalt unterscheiden lässt. Dieser Band enthält den Text der Nachkriegsfassung von 1919/20 in historisch-kritischer Bearbeitung. Max Weber entwickelte sie zu großen Teilen aus Manuskripten der Vorkriegsfassung, die er teils verdichtete, teils erweiterte. Die Fassung besteht aus vier Kapiteln, darunter die beiden häufig rezipierten Kapitel I "Soziologische Grundbegriffe" und III "Die Typen der Herrschaft". Eine Besonderheit stellt das Kapitel II dar, das Weber mit "Soziologische Grundkategorien des Wirtschaftens" überschrieb. Es ist nicht nur das umfangreichste der überlieferten Kapitel, hier wissen wir auch nichts von einem Vorkriegsmanuskript, auf das er sich hätte stützen können. Vermutlich wurde dieses Kapitel 1919/20 größtenteils neu verfasst. Weber starb mitten in der Arbeit an seinem Projekt, so dass bereits das Kapitel IV "Stände und Klassen" von ihm nicht mehr abgeschlossen werden konnte. Für die darüber hinaus vorgesehenen Kapitel hinterließ er keinen Plan. Es handelt sich also insgesamt um ein unvollendetes Projekt, mit dem er die Leistungsfähigkeit seiner verstehenden Soziologie unter Beweis stellen wollte. Die Entstehung des Werks ist im Nachwort ausführlich geschildert. Der Anhang enthält Informationen der Editoren zur Textbearbeitung sowie Verzeichnisse und Register.

Book Synopsis‘No freeman is to be taken or imprisoned, or dispossessed … except through the lawful judgment of his peers or through the law of the land.’ ‘To no one shall we sell, to no one shall we deny or delay right or justice.’ Magna Carta (or ‘Great Charter’ of English Liberties) is one of the most important documents in legal history. Originating as a peace treaty agreed between King John and a group of powerful barons at Runnymede near Windsor on 15 June 1215, it enshrined in law the concept of individual liberty and defined the role of the monarch towards the people. The charter was successively revised and reissued throughout the thirteenth century by England’s monarchs, and the ideas expressed in it had a profound influence, as seen in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Latin text of one version of this landmark document (the 1217 issue of Henry III) is transcribed here in full, together with a modern translation and an introduction which traces the background to the making of the charter and its subsequent revisions through the centuries. It also explains how this text has become an enduring symbol of freedom in Britain and throughout the world.

Book SynopsisThe No1 Sunday Times BestsellerA Waterstones Best Politics Book 2024A Mail on Sunday Best Holiday Read 2024'A searing exposé' GlamourA timely reminder of the dangers posed by men who crave power' ObserverFrom New York Times bestseller Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven exposé of the real Kennedy Cursethe family''s generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhemand the women who have paid the price for our obsession with Camelot.For decades, the Kennedy name has been synonymous with wealth, power, andabove all elseintegrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the Kennedy men''s legacy of physical and psychological abuse of women, part of a tradition of toxic masculinity that spans generations and has ruined untold lives. Through scandal after scandal, the family and their defenders have managed to keep this shameful story out of the spotlight. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys'' hidden history of abuse and exploitation, laying bare their rampant misogyny and restoring women to the center of the dynasty''s story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Mary Richardson, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren''t nearly as well known but rightfully should be.Drawing on years of fierce reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled American family, showing how the Kennedy myth and their raw political power has enabled the clan''s many predators while also silencing generations of traumatized women and girls. At long last, Callahan also redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys'' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselvesand giving voice to the countless others who could not do the same.

Book SynopsisIntegral Psychedelic Therapy is a groundbreaking, evidence-based collection that explores how psychedelic medicine can be incorporated into contemporary psychotherapy.This book builds on current psychedelic research by providing an in-depth articulation of the practice of psychedelic therapy, weaving together a variety of complementary therapeutic frameworks, case examples, and practical guidance for cultivating a highly effective, ethically grounded, integral approach. Chapters by a diverse set of practicing psychotherapists and leading researchers aim to provide practitioners with a method that centers liberation of all dimensions of being through intersectional, client-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused practices, alongside thoughtful attunement to the relational, somatic, imaginal, cultural, and transpersonal dimensions of healing.Integral Psychedelic Therapy will be essential reading for psychotherapists in practice and in training as well as those Trade Review"The wild and wooly field of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is in need of expert guidance and this edited book offers a lot of it from a diverse group of experienced practitioners and researchers, who cover everything from the somatic to the spiritual and social activist sides of this important movement. I am honored that Bob Grant contributed a clear and practical chapter on integrating ketamine with my Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach. My personal and clinical experience with this combination has been amazing and Bob’s guidelines are extremely valuable. His personal journey is also inspiring." - Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. developer of the Internal Family Systems model and adjunct faculty, Harvard Medical School."Integral Psychedelic Therapy is a cutting-edge exploration of psychedelic-assisted therapy by some of the top therapists and researchers in the field, providing an abundance of essential insights that are foundational to this work. This is a core text for practitioners looking to develop their skills as well as anyone interested in psychedelic healing." - Rick Doblin, PhD, Founder & Executive Director, Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies"This is a multi-faceted gem of a book! Integral Psychedelic Therapy is practical, necessary reading for anyone looking to understand the psychedelic revolution underway in psychotherapy and psychiatry." - Julie Holland, MD "Psychedelics occasion a state of consciousness of immense therapeutic power and at the same time extraordinary vulnerability. Guidebooks are important, and this one, written by thoughtful and skillful practitioners, is a must-read for therapists who wish for these medicines to serve both personal healing and the greater good of society." - David E. Presti, University of California, Berkeley "Within this wondrously evolving field of psychedelic medicine, we are discovering that the therapeutic envelope is more important, and potentially more meaningful, than the molecule. This book provides an elegant compendium of innovations, and deepens our shared understanding of expanded states. For clinicians and explorers alike." - Brian Richards, Psy.D., Sunstone Therapies, The Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research"This timely collection, produced by clinicians and researchers at the forefront of the psychedelic movement, is a must-read for both newcomers and experts. It combines clinical inquiry and a humanistic approach, weaving in social justice and respect for Indigenous traditions. As regulation by the FDA, decriminalization, and mainstreaming advance globally, it’s urgent to cultivate a thoughtful understanding and culture around these powerful substances. This book goes beyond mere glorification, alarmist calls for "ethics" and "safety," or empty tokenization to dive deep into nuanced and complex discussions around psychedelic-assisted therapies." - Bia Labate, PhD, Executive Director, Chacruna Institute"The prevalence of mental health conditions and the speed at which psychedelics look set to be incorporated into mainstream medicine means there will need to be many more specially-trained therapists in the very near future. This will be a steep learning curve and we will need to carefully combine elements from conventional psychiatry with knowledge learned from Indigenous and underground practitioners. This book does just that - providing an excellent, multidisciplinary education covering the techniques used." - Amanda Feilding, Founder & Executive Director of the Beckley Foundation, Oxford, UK."This book is a treasure trove of ideas and practical tips, refreshingly and importantly foregrounded in acknowledgement of the debt owed to indigenous plant medicine using traditions, and the impact of colonization, patriarchy, white supremacy, and corporate greed on the trajectory of psychedelic healing traditions. The subsequent chapters offer many different types of gifts; particular key issues, such as consensual touch, are considered from different viewpoints, as well as so many other important topics for anyone working with these healing modalities. For those who feel familiar with the ‘basics’ of ‘prep-session-integration’, this book delves deeper into some of the complexities, mysteries, nuanced applications, and ethical questions. The chapter on ‘Decolonizing Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy’ by Danielle Herrera, MFT was a wake up call for me, and is, I feel, a must-read for our community." - Rosalind Watts, PhD Founder and co-director of Acer Integration"Integral Psychedelic Therapy brings needed attention and wisdom to a range of the most important aspects of working with psychedelics. At a time of rapid progress in clinical research, this book is a welcome reminder of the cultural context surrounding these medicines, including the history of psychedelics, the debt owed to indigenous wisdom and the tragic damage the "War on Drugs" has done to marginalized communities and to the advancement of health care and individual freedom. The more clinically oriented chapters remind us not to lose sight of the "core, human elements of the work" and the richness and depth of the human healing process. The authors draw on their own clinical experience to offer informed and insightful discussions of ethics and consent, therapeutic relationship, safe and mindful physical touch, music, the multiplicity of the psyche, numinous mystical experience, psychedelic group therapy and the immense importance of integration following psychedelic experiences. Case examples bring these discussions to life. This is a valuable resource for therapists and anyone else interested in psychedelics." - Michael Mithoefer, MD, Senior Medical Director for Medical Affairs, Training and Supervision, MAPS Public Benefit Corp. "This book arrives at a critical time in the evolution of psychedelic therapy as it articulates the challenges, mystery, and beauty of the psychedelic renaissance. The authors include diverse voices, each with their own sensitivities and refreshing perspectives, blending science, theory, ethics, and heart within broader societal forces. Being of service in partnership with compassion and ethical care are at the heart of each chapter. This book offers a wealth of information from practitioners with extensive clinical and research experience, that is fresh, relevant, and culturally responsive." - Marcela Ot’alora G.

Book SynopsisIn the realm of safety management, this book embarks on a profound exploration of how the political economy was reshaped in the last two decades. Much like privatization, deregulation, and financialization altered the economic landscape, this narrative unveils how safety management has been affected by the intertwined dynamics of asset underinvestment, privatization, self-regulation, workplace flexibilization, and market-driven policies.This book, the second installment of a thought-provoking trilogy on the consequences of neoliberalism, mirrors the political economy''s promotion of the private sector''s role in the economy. Just as neoliberalism amplified and accelerated the mechanisms of human-made disasters in complex systems, this narrative lays bare the heightened potential for safety misfortunes when governed by market-driven principles.As the story unfolds, the book delves into the concept of ''synoptic legibility'' in safety management, akin to how the pol

Book SynopsisTerritories are more than simply bounded spaces; they reflect the ways in which we think of geographic space. Territoriality, or laying claim to territory, can be seen as the spatial expression of power, with borders dividing those inside from those outside. The book provides an introduction to the concept of territory, the ways in which ideologies and social practices are manifested in space, the deployment of territorial strategies and the geographical outcomes of these.This revised and updated third edition focuses on both macro-scale examples and those less obvious micro-scale ones, and it explores how territorial strategies are used in the maintaining of power, or as a means of resistance. Throughout the book, key questions emerge concerning geographic space. Who is allowed to be in particular spaces and who is excluded or discouraged from being there? How are territorial practices utilised in conflicts concerned with socio-political power and identity and how are ideolo
