The Mestizo
With gold in his saddlebags from a prospecting trip into Mexico, and chased by a posse including the mestizo Panchito, Dan Greenwood was planning to rebuild his ranch, the Crazy Q, but he was facing two kinds of trouble: romance on the ranch from a flirtatious visitor and violence brought to the desert by the mestizo, who had a score to settle with Dan. This is a colourful tale of Old Arizona set in 1889,with romance, violence, and a climax that is literally explosive. American newspapers in 1955 gave this novel glowing reviews; one compared it to the "best of Eugene Manlove Rhodes", an early Western novelist. The descriptions of the desert are real and mesmerizing, while the characterization is vivid, memorable, and authentic to the era. The author knew the desert first hand, and his rich experience shows through in his remarkable description.
Implicit Racial Bias Across the Law

A Primate's Memoir
In the tradition of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, Robert Sapolsky, a foremost science writer and recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, tells the mesmerizing story of his twenty-one years in remote Kenya with a troop of savanna baboons. "I had never planned to become a savanna baboon when I grew up; instead, I had always assumed I would become a mountain gorilla,” writes Robert Sapolsky in this witty and riveting chronicle of a scientist’s coming-of-age in Africa. An exhilarating account of Sapolsky’s twenty-one-year study of a troop of rambunctious baboons in Kenya, A Primate’s Memoir interweaves serious scientific observations with wry commentary about the challenges and pleasures ...
A New Agenda For Football Crowd Management
This book provides a holistic and interdisciplinary focus on the legal regulation and policing of football violence and disorder in Britain. Anchored in ground-breaking ethnographic and participant-action research, the book combines a crowd psychology and socio-legal approach to critically explore the contemporary challenges of managing football crowds. It sets out the processes by which football disorder occurs and the limitations of existing approaches to policing ‘football hooliganism’, in particular the dominant focus on controlling ‘risk supporters’, before setting out proposals for fundamental reforms to both law and policing. This book will be of value to academics, students, legal and policing practitioners, as well as policy-makers. The two authors are internationally known experts in the management and behaviour of football crowds and bring together for the first time over 30 years of research in this area from the disciplines of law and social psychology.
