The Room
Harold "Funny Bone" Fenimore is the class clown. Trouble is, while Bone gets all the laughs, his best friend Tony gets all the dates. But everything changes when Bone wanders down a back staircase at The Elemental and finds a secret room filled with teen partiers. When he steps inside, a beautiful girl comes on to him, and he's hooked. Soon, he can't live without The Room. But Bone's place of dreams is really a living tomb—a sorcerer's trap for souls.

The Law's Conscience
The Law's Conscience is a history of equity in Anglo-American juris-prudence from the inception of the chancellor's court in medieval England to the recent civil rights and affirmative action decisions of the United States Supreme Court. Peter Hoffer argues that equity embodies a way of looking at law, including constitutions, based on ideas of mutual fairness, public trusteeship, and equal protection. His central theme is the tension between the ideal of equity and the actual availability of equitable remedies. Hoffer examines this tension in the trusteeship constitutionalism of John Locke and Thomas Jefferson; the incorporation of equity in the first American constitutions; the antebellum controversy over slavery; the fortunes of the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War; the emergence of the doctrine of "Balance of Equity" in twentieth-century public-interest law; and the desegregation and reverse discrimination cases of the past thirty-five years. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) was the most important equity suit in American history, and Hoffer begins and ends his book with a new interpretation of its lessons.

Old School
Thomas Sommerville decided he wanted to be a police officer in elementary school when his job as a crossing guard gave him a sense of what it felt like to protect and serve (and wear a cool badge). Of course, his career proved a little more challenging than escorting his fellow classmates across the street. Whether he was breaking up fights, foiling bank robberies, or investigating homicides, Tom treated every crime scene as the most important one he’d ever encountered. And he learned how to use humor—sometimes in the form of outrageous pranks—to cope with seeing humanity at its worst. Covering Tom's forty-five years as a street cop in Detroit and a CSI guy in Arizona, Old School: The Police, the Public, and the Pranks gives readers a rare glimpse inside the world of law enforcement.
Black Cat Bone
"Robert Johnson was born in rural Mississippi and died young, leaving little behind except blues like no one sung the blues before him. A legend says that Robert sold his soul to the devil in return for becoming King of the Delta Blues."--From source other than the Library of Congress

One of Our Pilots is Safe
In the early hours of 10 May 1940, Hitler’s armed forces launched their invasion of France and the Low Countries. Shattering the tense peace of the Phoney War, German troops poured west over the borders of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, supported throughout by the Luftwaffe. Having been deployed to the Continent on the outbreak of war in 1939, the aircrew of the RAF’s Advanced Air Striking Force had long trained and planned for, as well as anticipated, such a moment. Consequently, at 17.15 hours on that fateful Friday Flight Lieutenant William Simpson took off at the controls of his 12 Squadron Fairey Battle having been ordered to attack enemy transport advancing near t...
