Rescuing Awen
Dell inherited the medallion from his grandfather who said it was nothing special. But when he finds himself attacked by alien shape shifters, befriended by giant, telepathic crows and talking to a stranger who creates force fields, Dell finds out the medallion is special - it's a key to a portal. The portal is special, too, as it leads to Awen, the hub planet at the center of several galaxies. Then Dell discovers that Awen is sentient. He also discovers that Awen is dying - mutilated by a group of criminals out to steal the minerals lying under the planet's crust. The ailing planet bestows Dell with the power to control Her Air, Fire, Water and Soil to rescue Her from certain destruction. But even with the aid of a telepathic planet and a fast-talking squirrel, Dell may not be able to save himself, much less Awen.

Guild of Immortal Women
The Immortal League of Women are a powerful band of Immortals who have guarded the mystical Tapestry for thousands of years. The Tapestry functions as a depository for the Immortals fondest memories (allowing them to take respite within their past) and a prison for Immortals who defy the rules of the clan. When the outlaw, Robert de Baudricourt, betrays the race by arranging the murder of Joan of Arc, a tear appears in the fabric of time and space. The magics holding the barrier between the dimensions has been deteriorating ever since. The League must now race against time to save Joan, restore her sanity and restore the Tapestry before time and space bleed into each other. But Robert has his own plan. For him, the reign of The League of Women is over and vows to shift the guardianship of the Tapestry to himself by killing the women, impregnating an Immortal woman and siring an heir. Joan is his target.
A Pattern of Violence
A law professor and former prosecutor reveals how inconsistent ideas about violence, enshrined in law, are at the root of the problems that plague our entire criminal justice system—from mass incarceration to police brutality. We take for granted that some crimes are violent and others aren’t. But how do we decide what counts as a violent act? David Alan Sklansky argues that legal notions about violence—its definition, causes, and moral significance—are functions of political choices, not eternal truths. And these choices are central to failures of our criminal justice system. The common distinction between violent and nonviolent acts, for example, played virtually no role in crimina...

R Myddelton, Anna Schwartz and Geoffrey Wood. This book challenges the myth that the recent banking crisis was caused by insufficient statutory regulation of financial markets. Though it finds that statutory regulation failed, and that market participants took more risks than they should have done, it appears that statutory regulation made matters worse rather than better. Furthermore the fifteen experts who have contributed to this study find that government policy failed...
