Anthology of Monographs on Addiction Studies
Rick Biesada picks up where the mundane Clinton biographers left off . . . or were too timid to delve into. He pulls no punches in his scholarly review of his encounter with Hillary, where he worked as a bouncer in a Chicago bar. Back in the old days . . . when we served alcohol to minors and bred red-blooded American men . . . not little pudgy nerds running around in fanny packs. Angry White Male and the Horse He Rode In On, was inspired in part by the Clinton Impeachment as a tribute to the House Managers.

Crimes of the Centuries
A fascinating pop-history dive into the stories behind the incredibly impactful crimes—both infamous and little-known—that have shaped the legal system as we know it. When asked why true crime is so in vogue, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Amber Hunt always has the same answer: it’s no hotter than it’s always been. Crimes and trials have captured American consciousness since the Salem Witch Trials in the seventeenth century. And these cases over the centuries have fundamentally changed our society and shifted our legal system, resulting in the laws we have today and setting the stage for new rights and protections. From the first recorded murder trial led by the first legal dream team, to one of the earliest uses of DNA, these cases will fascinate.

American Criminal Law
This coursebook offers an exciting new approach to teaching criminal law to graduate and undergraduate students, and indeed to the general public. Each well-organized and student-friendly chapter offers historical context, tells the story of a principal historic case, provides a modern case that contrasts with the historic, explains the legal issue at the heart of both cases, includes a unique mapping feature describing the range of positions on the issue among the states today, examines a key policy question on the topic, and provides an aftermath that reports the final chapter to the historic and modern case stories. By embedding sophisticated legal doctrine and analysis in real-world storytelling, the book provides a uniquely effective approach to teaching American criminal law in programs on criminal justice, political science, public policy, history, philosophy, and a range of other fields.

The Golden Mole
'A rare and magical book. I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson 'A total miracle.' Max Porter 'A witty, intoxicating paean to Earth's wondrous creatures.' Observer 'Rundell's pen is gold-tipped.' Sunday Times ** SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR ** The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this passionately persuasive and sharply funny book, Katherine Rundell tells us how and why. A lavishly illustrated collection of the lives of some of the Earth's most astounding animals, The Golden Mole is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck - to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness. A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A pangolin keeps its tongue furled in a pouch by its hip, a Greenland shark can live five hundred years, a wombat once inspired a love poem.
