The Power of Trust
Laura Webster appeared to have it all; stunning beauty, intelligence, wealth, privilege and a promising career as a photo journalist. Until the day her life changes dramatically. While on assignment in a working class district with her homosexual friend and colleague, David, they inadvertently wander into a bar and are set on by the sadistic Pete Radeki and his mates. Although David is badly beaten and Laura is nearly raped, two strangers come to their aid and beat off Pete's gang. Two days later, one of the men phones Laura to say he has her purse, dropped in her panic and would return it as he was coming her way due to his work. Thus she comes to meet Rob McCulloch, all feral good looks an...
Postmodern Anarchism
Delving into the anarchist writings of Nietzsche, Foucault, and Baudrillard, and exploring the cyberpunk fiction of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, theorist Lewis Call examines the new philosophical current where anarchism meets postmodernism.

Call argues that postmodernism's timely influence updates anarchism, making it relevant to the political culture of the new millennium.

Arbitrary Death
Over a career spanning nearly four decades, Rick Unklesbay has tried over one hundred murder cases before juries that ended with sixteen men and women receiving the death sentence. Arbitrary Death depicts some of the most horrific murders in Tucson, Arizona, the author's prosecution of those cases, and how the death penalty was applied. It provides the framework to answer the questions: Why is America the only Western country to still use the death penalty? Can a human-run system treat those cases fairly and avoid unconstitutional arbitrariness? It is an insider's view from someone who has spent decades prosecuting murder cases and who now argues that the death penalty doesn't work and our s...
