Grinder
A mob enforcer is pulled back into his old life in this “terrific read” (Ken Bruen, Shamus Award–winning author of The Dramatist). Two years ago, Wilson made a deal: he let his old boss live in exchange for a clean slate. He’s kept up his end of the bargain since then, and stayed off the grid—working on a fishing boat off of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Now, many miles from the city he once escaped, a man comes calling on Wilson with a gun in his hand and a woman in his trunk. And Wilson is pulled back into his old life as a “grinder”—working under the radar to quietly find out who is responsible for a dangerous mobster’s missing nephews . . . “Razor-edged prose and a sympathetic antihero lift Knowles’s no-holds-barred crime thriller . . . Readers who like their mean streets really mean will be thoroughly satisfied.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The Home
In the first major work to take the home as a center of analysis for global social problems, experts from a variety of fields reveal the multidimensional reality of the home and its role in societies worldwide. This unique book serves as a basis for action by proposing global legislative, political and institutional initiatives with the home in mind.
In Plain Sight
“Wilson is worthy to stand next to Loren Estleman’s Peter Macklin and Donald Westlake’s Parker” (Publishers Weekly). Wilson has tried to put his criminal past behind him—but now a random car accident has interfered with his plans and pushed him back in the crosshairs. Dirty cops have gotten their hooks in him and want to use him as bait, telling him the only way to stay out of cuffs is to put someone worse in them. Knowing that justice isn’t blind in the city, Wilson picks a fight with the Russian mob to lure both the corrupt cops and brutal robbers into a trap, in a desperate attempt to scavenge his freedom again . . . “A very good series.” —Booklist

The Palgrave Handbook of Relational Sociology
This handbook on relational sociology covers a rapidly growing approach in the social sciences—one which is connected to the interests of a large, diverse pool of researchers across a range of disciplines. Relational sociology has been one of the key foundations of the “relational turn” in human sciences since the 1980s, and it offers a unique opportunity to redefine the basic epistemological and ontological principles of sociology as we know it. The contributors collected here aim to elucidate the complexity and the scope of this growing approach by dealing with three central questions: Where does relational sociology come from and what are its principal concerns? What are the main theoretical and methodological currents within relational sociology? What have we studied in relational sociology and what are the results?
Green Power
Presents a history and analysis of everyday events in the environmental movement down under, together with an array of theories held by social movements, non-institutional and non-governmental organizations, and informal networks and groups. Doyle (geographical and environmental studies, U. of Adelaide) also provides a chronology of the movement since the 1960s, traces the roots of the early wilderness and anti-nuclear networks, and travels through the Hawke years when environmental concern was incorporated into politics and business-as-usual. Finally, Doyle turns towards the environmental movement under the Howard government where it has been intensely challenged by the "wise use" movement, or what Doyle terms the "Gang Bang Theory of Nature."
