Everybody knows New Orleans, but nobody knows this New Orleans. At sixteen years old, Dan Bright was the head of a New Orleans drug empire. As his operation grew, it was only a matter of time before he attracted the attention of the criminal justice system, which would stop at nothing--including framing Dan for murder--to get him off the streets. Dan's capital murder trial lasted only one day. The District Attorney's office used false testimony and fabricated evidence to lead the jury to their ultimate conclusion: Daniel Bright was guilty and deserved the death penalty. This incredible true story unflinchingly shows the injustice of the legal system, as well as the base corruption on display at Angola prison, where Dan spent ten years fighting his wrongful conviction and struggling for a right supposedly guaranteed to all Americans: a fair trial.
This collection of essays aims to further the understanding of historical and contemporary geographies of science. It offers a fresh perspective on comparative approaches to scientific knowledge and practice as pursued by geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, and historians of science. The authors explore the formation and changing geographies of scientific centers from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and critically discuss the designing of knowledge spaces in early museums, in modern laboratories, at world fairs, and in the periphery of contemporary science. They also analyze the interactions between science and the public in Victorian Britain, interwar Germany, and recent environmental policy debates. The book provides a genuine geographical perspective on the production and dissemination of knowledge and will thus be an important point of reference for those interested in the spatial relations of science and associated fields. The Klaus Tschira Foundation supports diverse symposia, the essence of which is published in this Springer series (www.kts.villa-bosch.de).

Dan Davidson is a horror novelist, who just signed a three-book, $30 million contract. But it wasn't his talent alone that got him the deal. It was JR, the demon spirit, which had been living dormant inside him for the past thirty-two years. Until now. JR seeks restitution for helping kill Dan's abusive father all those years ago. Now he wants Dan to write the ultimate horror novel, coupled with his rising popularity, that will coerce people into selling their souls to the Devil; a fresh start to a new and enticing world. But with Dan's life turning upside down, he finds it difficult to concentrate on the new novel. Though the less work he does, the more JR threatens to take full control of him. Adam, Dan's only child, recognizes the signs of demonic possession in his father and begs the help of Father Levin, who was almost killed in his first and only exorcism, twenty years prior. Reluctantly, he agrees to see Dan. And when priest and demon meet, a spiritual calamity breaks loose, shattering the serenity of a cabin by the lake and the small town nestled beside it.
