In this sequel to the author's breakthrough novel, One Hard Day, US Air Force Lieutenant Cutler Walker is moving to California, where he will train as a pilot in the KC-135, the air force's intercontinental air-refueling aircraft. Having just returned to flying duty following his five-month hospitalization and rehabilitation, Walker gladly put the horrendous accident in which he and two others suffered life-changing consequences in his rearview mirror. His sixteen-year adventure takes him all over the US, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. Along the way he is reunited with Baylee Madison, an air force colleague and former classmate at the University of Virginia, and they become inseparable. He and Baylee develop a close friendship with a most unlikely couple, and Walker has a falling-out with a close friend, ending a twenty-year friendship. With Baylee at his side and the Lord guiding him, Walker takes it all in stride, approaching his life with a new look, a better attitude, and an inner drive that takes him on a wild ride.

It has become somewhat axiomatic to refer to the police as the ‘gatekeepers’ of the criminal justice system and thus as a mechanism for the provision of justice. And yet, when we conceptualize the police in this way, what is often taken for granted is the exact nature of that role and its larger social meaning. Indeed, we know that police deliver justice more efficiently to some and injustice to others. Rethinking Policing and Justice critically examines the role of policing (both state and non-state forms) in the provision of justice (and injustice). In essence, it presents work that highlights how different communities and groups have sought alternatives to policing, sometimes taking over the functions of policing. It also shows a variety of theoretical, methodology, and other approaches for the critical evaluation of law enforcement, highlighing different insights into alternative modes of policing, as we seek to understand and redraft the relationship between policing and justice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Justice Review.

Focusing on diverse experiences of people from the European diaspora, Robertson analyzes expressions of difference from the multiple locations of age, ethnicity, gender, class, and religion. Her starting point is a popular local legend about an indigenous curse cast on the valley and its residents in the nineteenth century. Successive interpretations of the story reveal a complicated landscape of memory and silence, mapping out official and contested histories, social and scientific theorie...
