Networked
How social networks, the personalized Internet, and always-on mobile connectivity are transforming—and expanding—social life. Daily life is connected life, its rhythms driven by endless email pings and responses, the chimes and beeps of continually arriving text messages, tweets and retweets, Facebook updates, pictures and videos to post and discuss. Our perpetual connectedness gives us endless opportunities to be part of the give-and-take of networking. Some worry that this new environment makes us isolated and lonely. But in Networked, Lee Rainie and Barry Wellman show how the large, loosely knit social circles of networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving...

Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads
A fierce and excoriating portrait of British racism, Roy William's Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads premiered in 2002 at the National Theatre. Set in a south-west London pub during the 2000 England vs. Germany match, tempers are running high. As England lose again, their supporters in The King George lose it too – at full time, patriotism has become unapologetic racism. This Methuen Drama Student Edition of the play includes commentary and notes by Gemma Edwards, University of Manchester, UK, which explore the production history of the play as well as the historical, social and cultural contexts that surround it, such as the rise of Nationalism and far-right groups in the UK.

Ambush
DEA Supervisor Von Crocker has never liked dead bodies, especially since he served in Vietnam. Even though it is now 2003, the mere sight of a corpse propels Crocker back into his memories when he was a teenager coerced into participating in a drug smuggling operation with his superior officers, never realizing the impact this experience would have on his future. As Crocker travels back in time, he recalls stumbling through his early days at the DEA-until a fellow agent involved him in an investigation that Crocker hoped would finally bring closure to the guilt related to his choices in Vietnam. But as present day events lead him out of his memories, Crocker's personal demons complicate a drug bust resulting in the questionable killing of a dealer. Now only time will tell if he can gain control of his future, before it is too late. In this suspenseful tale, a DEA supervisor and Vietnam vet trapped between the past and present must open old wounds in order to find answers, healing, and resolution.

The Constrained Court combines new theoretical insights and extensive data analysis to show that law and politics together shape the behavior of justices on the Supreme Court. Michael Bailey and Forrest Maltzman show how two types of constraints have influenced the decision making of the modern Court. First, Bailey and Maltzman document that important legal doctrines, such as respect for precedents, have influenced every justice since 1950. The authors find considerable variation in how these doctrines affect each justice, variation due ...
