In 1878, Dodge City, Kansas, is a dangerous place to live.

Modern Perspectives on Islamic Law
'This book presents an invaluable contribution to the debate on the compatibility of Islam and modernity. It is full of arguments and examples showing how Islam can be understood in line with modern life, human rights, democracy, the rule of law, civil society and pluralism. The three authors come from different countries, represent different gender perspectives and have a Shia, a Sunni and a non-Muslim background respectively which makes the book a unique source of information and inspiration.' Irmgard Marboe, University of Vienna, Austria This well-informed book explains, reflects on and analyses Islamic law, not only in the classical legal tradition of Sharia, but also its modern, contemp...
The Limits of Law
This collection brings together well-established scholars to examine the limits of law, a topic that has been of broad interest since the events of 9/11 and the responses of U.S. law and policy to those events. The limiting conditions explored in this volume include marking law’s relationship to acts of terror, states of emergency, gestures of surrender, payments of reparations, offers of amnesty, and invocations of retroactivity. These essays explore how law is challenged, frayed, and constituted out of contact with conditions that lie at the farthest reaches of its empirical and normative force.
Leroy the Lobster
The spiny lobster is recognized around the world as a popular seafood item and an important fisheries resource, but few people know about the life and habits of this sought-after animal. In Leroy the Lobster, Leroy tells his own life story from the time of being hatched to maturity. Readers learn about the life of the spiny lobster and other marine animals with which it comes in contact. The author has created a narrative that is simple and interestingly told, with all the actions, settings and time sequences scientifically accurate. Readers also learn about the impact of man, and will appreciate the importance of conserving this special marine resource. Author-illustrator Katherine Orr is a marine biologist and environmental educator who spent more than two decades working in the Caribbean region. Her beautiful and accurate paintings showing Leroy's surroundings reflect the hundreds of hours she spent underwater observing and studying marine life.
Secrecy, Law and Society
Commentators have shown how a ‘culture of security’ ushered in after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 has involved exceptional legal measures and increased recourse to secrecy on the basis of protecting public safety and safeguarding national security. In this context, scholars have largely been preoccupied with the ways that increased security impinges upon civil liberties. While secrecy is justified on public interest grounds, there remains a tension between the need for secrecy and calls for openness, transparency and disclosure. In law, secrecy has implications for the separation of powers, due process, and the rule of law, raising fundamental concerns about open justice, p...
