Shattered Justice
Shattered Justice presents original crime victims' experiences with violent crime, investigations and trials, and later exonerations in their cases. Cook reveals how homicide victims' family members and rape survivors describe the painful impact of the primary trauma, the secondary trauma of the investigations and trials, and then the tertiary trauma associated with wrongful convictions and exonerations.
Devil's Gamble
A novel of Demonology Among the victims of a devastating plane crash was one of America’s most dangerous criminals—a ruthless terrorist and self-proclaimed agent of the devil named Lynne Tallman. Among the survivors was another woman—a dedicated reporter named Janet Burke, for whom the enigma of Lynne Tallman had become much more than just another story.... A miracle had spared Janet Burke's life. And the miraculous skill of a young plastic surgeon had not only repaired her disfigured face but transformed her into a vision of unearthly beauty. But, unknown to either doctor or patient, Janet Burke had undergone another transformation, one that medical science had no power to reverse. For, at the moment Lynne Tallman's life ended in a scream of terror, Janet Burke had become not merely a pawn in a deadly game of evil and destruction but the principal player in the devil s gamble for world control. A spell-binding tale of suspense and the supernatural from one of America's master storytellers.
Rectify
A powerful argument for adopting a model of restorative justice as part of the Innocence Movement—so exonerees, crime victims, and their communities can come together to heal In Rectify, a former Innocence Project director and journalist Lara Bazelon puts a face to the growing number of men and women exonerated from crimes that kept them behind bars for years—sometimes decades—and that devastate not only the exonerees but also their families, the crime victims who mistakenly identified them as perpetrators, the jurors who convicted them, and the prosecutors who realized too late that they helped convict an innocent person. Bazelon focuses on Thomas Haynesworth, a teenager arrested for ...

European Feminisms, 1700-1950
This ambitious book explores challenges to male hegemony throughout continental Europe over the past 250 years. For general readers and those interested primarily in the historical record, it provides a comprehensive, comparative account of feminist developments in European societies, as well as a rereading of European history from a feminist perspective. By placing gender, or relations between women and men, at the center of European politics, it aims to reconfigure our understanding of the European past and to make visible a long but neglected tradition of feminist thought and politics. On another level the book seeks to disentangle some misperceptions and to demystify some confusing contemporary debates about the Enlightenment, reason, nature, and public vs. private, equality vs. difference. In the process, the author aims to show that gender is not merely 'a useful category of analysis', but that sexual difference lies at the heart of human thought and politics.

Taneytown
The small village of Taneytown, nestled at the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains in central Maryland, has witnessed two and a half centuries of American history. The settlement's beginnings date to 1754 when it was founded on a 7,900-acre tract of land. By the end of the century, Taneytown was a bustling community that supported craftsmen of various trades. The most famous native son of the region is undoubtedly lawyer, poet, and author of The Star-Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key. With the outbreak of Civil War, Taneytown sent 75 of the district's 500 residents to the battle; few returned. The war had a drastic impact on the county, and the area did not flourish again until the arrival of the railroad in 1871. By the late 19th century, the region rebounded to become a small business hub with three cigar factories, a carriage maker's shop, two warehouses, a steam flour mill, and two banks. With new prosperity, many of the structures of the town were replaced with fashionable Victorian edifices. Today, the quaint charm and history of Taneytown continue to attract visitors from near and far.
