A Thing Beyond Hope
Caught between the pull of the crowd and a personal dream, Calloway is placed on a collision course with society. When he quits university and makes a plan to run away, even his best friend seems lost. For three days, he finds himself in a world of dive bars, sex, poets and runaway teenagers, searching for a guide to show him the way to a meaningful life. Through Calloway, Joshua Krook has created a classic coming-of-age story, a powerful book that captures what it means to be young, restless and hungry for meaning.

How to Write a Thesis Worth Writing
What I aim to do in this book is to give you some tips and ideas on how to write a thesis worth writing. From picking the right supervisor to twisting the rules in your favour - my advice aims to sidestep conventional wisdom and protocols in order to help you do something meaningful.

Let this book be a guiding light in a field of academic darkness, where professors, supervisors and other students will try to put out that light and keep you from trying to do something worthwhile.
Us vs Them
The modern city is a place of social circles; clusters of contacts who know each other and strangers who don’t. It is a place where diverse relationships are in decline. In the city, strangers seldom meet beyond daily functions. Instead they brush by with a haste and preoccupation that so defines a century of ‘too little time’. Where once we valued common courtesy, now we encourage the message of “stranger danger”. Often we do not test this message as we grow older. Instead we live side by side with strangers, and remain firmly as ever, psychologically miles apart. In this book I attempt to address this problem. I ask the following questions: 1) How can we bring back mutual underst...

Legal Education, Privatization and the Market
Neoliberalism has come to shape every aspect of Australian legal education, from the curriculum and classes to the students themselves. This book aims to chronicle the changes neoliberalism has wrought on Australian legal education over the last decade. Where once, law schools produced bastions of honourable and ethical practices, today's law schools produce bland enforcers of the law, incapable of questioning the very principles that form the bedrock of their education. In challenging the existing system, Krook looks to the declining prevalence of justice, fairness and morality in the curriculum and the rise and rise of corporate law.
