Drawn Inward and Other Poems
Drawn Inward is a collection of poetry by Mike Maguire comprising four sections: Word Palindromes, in which the words of each poem run in the same sequence backwards as they do forwards; Charades, in which each poem is spelled the same as the one next to it; Palindromes, in which the letters of each poem run in the same sequence backwards as they do forwards; and Poems about Trains.The poems are beautiful, humorous, and transcendent. Arguably some of the most exquisite palindromes ever written in English fi their place nestled among equally gorgeous poems written in less familiar forms, showing that, even with poetry, perfection is possible. Maguire's wildly successful formal experiments ensure the palindrome its rightful place as a poetic form.
Finding The Secret Sea
This is not a standard comic book or typical graphic novel. Finding The Secret Sea is an experiment in spontaneity through image/word association and is made up of a series of sketches accompanied by words that lead the reader/viewer through a sort of impressionist story. please check out the preview for sample pages. Finding The Secret Sea has more than 70 rough sketches by Eric C. Harrison. Most of which were done in transit on moving trains or buses to curb social anxiety and paranoia. The sketches told Harrison that there was a story to be told within them and that Mike Maguire was the one to lay down a path that would lead to it. The sketches were sent a few at a time to Mike Maguire. Mike provided text as the images were received based on his impressions. The end result is something that will touch each reader differently. Can you find the secret sea?

Three Days Breathing
"The gripping story of "Three Day Breathing" combines a classic sci-fi aesthetic with modern takes on love, loss, and individualism. Corim Colleran is born into a cold and sterile world. In tiny apartments, meager meals are delivered through chutes in the cupboards. In robot-run schools, sexual development is cultivated with clinical precision. No one can leave their corner of the city. No one can change the course of their predetermined days, or the length of their preset lifespans. The only real thing Corim can choose is the woman he loves, but the life he builds with her is torn apart by a violent encounter with one of society's elites. Corim goes down a twisted path where he discovers the answers to his lifelong questions about the system ruling him. He also discovers the will to fight it."--Back cover.

Handbook on Crime
The Handbook on Crime is a comprehensive edited volume that contains analysis and explanation of the nature, extent, patterns and causes of over 40 different forms of crime, in each case drawing attention to key contemporary debates and social and criminal justice responses to them. It also challenges many popular and official conceptions of crime. This book is one of the few criminological texts that takes as its starting point a range of specific types of criminal activity. It addresses not only 'conventional' offences such as shoplifting, burglary, robbery, and vehicle crime, but many other forms of criminal behaviour - often an amalgamation of different legal offences - which attract con...

Featuring original contributions from a panel of experts representing North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia, this timely volume presents multidisciplinary views on recent corporate wrongdoing affecting econ...
Doing Justice, Preventing Crime
Punishment policies and practices in the United States today are unprincipled, chaotic, and much too often unjust. The financial costs are enormous. The moral cost is greater: countless individual injustices, mass incarceration, the world's highest imprisonment rate, extreme disparities, especially affecting members of racial and ethnic minority groups, high rates of wrongful conviction, assembly line case processing, and a general absence of respectful consideration of offenders' interests, circumstances, and needs. In Doing Justice, Preventing Crime, Michael Tonry lays normative and empirical foundations for building new, more just, and more effective systems of sentencing and punishment i...
