The Good Lessons
Hard-won lessons from a lifetime as a teacher and principal working with gang members in Los Angeles, Oakland, and Indian Country reservations. The stories are gripping and instructive as radical interventions turn education on its head, and urban and Native communities refuse to give up or give-in. A tough, inspiring and highly original take on troubled, alienated and violent youth.

The Music of Jimmy Ojotriste
Jimmy is a guitar prodigy, with hair kept long to cover scars and a glass-eye that people say has a quiet moan. He pines for a Jewish flamenco dancer from Hollywood's El Cid. Vic is the trio's handsome, green-eyed tenor with a perfect ear, Vietnamese girlfriend and dreams of being a cop. His unpainted low-rider is the trio's gig car. Ray is their Chinese-Mexican violinist. He's been in love since childhood with the youngest of the Maravilla sisters, but he has incurable bone cancer.

Measuring Regional Authority
This is the first of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state and for social scientists who take measurement seriously. The book sets out a measure of regional authority for 81 countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific from 1950 to 2010.
