Tuesday's Child
When Portland lawyer, Guy Phillips learns that he has a 5-year-old daughter in Texas, he's determined to be a part of her life. But, when the girl's mother is found floating dead in White Rock Lake a few months later, Guy is shocked to find himself at the center of the murder investigation. Now he must fight; to protect his daughter, save his marriage, and prove his innocence by pointing authorities to the real killer. "A doozy... engrossing... gleefully complex... dramatically rich... and, best of all, not easy to predict." -- Kirkus Reviews "Tuesday's Child is an excellent thriller with twists and turns galore and a really good surprise ending." -- Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of "Violent Crimes" "A plot dense with feasible murderers and homicide scenarios... ensuring a well-whetted appetite for mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews
Crusade, Heresy and Inquisition in the Lands of the Crown of Aragon
Damian J. Smith here provides the first full account of the combined influence of crusade, heresy and inquisition in and about the lands of the Crown of Aragon until the death of James I of Conqueror in 1276.
Innocent III and the Crown of Aragon
Drawing on an extensive study of the primary sources, Damian Smith explores the relationship between the Roman Curia and Aragon-Catalonia in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. His focus is the pontificate of Innocent III, the most politically influential medieval Pope, and the reign of King Peter II of Aragon and the first years of King James I. By analysing the practical example of papal actions towards one of its closest secular allies, the work deepens our understanding of the objectives and limits of the Papacy, while making clear the Pope's profound influence on the realm's political development.

The final chapters turn more specifically to Church affairs, looking at the relations between the papacy and the bishops of the province of Tarragona, and at the success of Innocent III's mission to reform religious life.
Migration Governance in North America
Millions of people arrive in North America each year, including highly skilled immigrants and temporary workers, refugees, and international students. Migration, border control, and asylum are ongoing flashpoints in Canadian, American, and Mexican relations, and deeply affect the domestic politics and economies of each country.
