Robert H. Jackson
Kirkus Reviews Best Book Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year Meet Robert H. Jackson in an engaging biography, the first published in over fifty years. For four hours on November 21, 1945, the world watched and listened as Justice Robert H. Jackson, on leave from the U.S. Supreme Court, introduced the Allies' case against the high-ranking Nazi leadership at the Nuremberg Trial. For the first time, a country's leaders were being tried for war crimes, in large part owing to Jackson's efforts.

American Elsewhere
From one of our most talented and original new literary voices comes the next great American supernatural novel: a work that explores the dark dimensions of the hometowns and the neighbors we thought we knew. Some places are too good to be true. Under a pink moon, there is a perfect little town not found on any map: Wink, New Mexico. In that town, there are quiet streets lined with pretty houses, houses that conceal the strangest things. After a couple years of hard traveling, ex-cop Mona Bright inherits her long-dead mother's home. And the closer Mona gets to her mother's past, the more she understands that the people of Wink are very, very different . . . "Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman." -- Library Journal
Foundryside
“The exciting beginning of a promising new epic fantasy series. Prepare for ancient mysteries, innovative magic, and heart-pounding heists.”—Brandon Sanderson “Complex characters, magic that is tech and vice versa, a world bound by warring trade dynasties: Bennett will leave you in awe once you remember to breathe!”—Tamora Pierce In a city that runs on industrialized magic, a secret war will be fought to overwrite reality itself—the first in a dazzling new series from City of Stairs author Robert Jackson Bennett.

City of Stairs
An atmospheric and intrigue-filled novel of dead gods, buried histories, and a mysterious, protean city--from one of America's most acclaimed young fantasy writers. The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions—until its divine protectors were killed. Now Bulikov has become just another colonial outpost of the world's new geopolitical power, but the surreal landscape of the city itself—first shaped, now shattered, by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it—stands as a constant, haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another junior diplomat sent by Bulikov's oppressors. Unofficially, she is one of her country's most accomplished spies, dispatched to catch a murderer. But as Shara pursues the killer, she starts to suspect that the beings who ruled this terrible place may not be as dead as they seem—and that Bulikov's cruel reign may not yet be over.
Shorefall

Together with allies Orso, Gregor, and Berenice, she’s about to strike a deadly blow against Tevanne’s cruel robber-baron rulers and wrest power from their hands for the first time in decades.

Quasi-States
In this book, Professor Robert Jackson develops an original interpretation of Third World underdevelopment, explaining it in terms of international relations and law. He describes Third World countries as â€~quasi-states', arguing that they are states in name only, demonstrating how international changes during the post-1945 period made it possible for many quasi-states to be created and to survive despite the fact that they are usually inefficient, illegitimate and domestically unstable.
V-Force
This new study of the Royal Air Force nuclear deterrent goes into greater depth than the usual study of the post-1945 RAF. Britain's independent nuclear research was carried out with great ingenuity and the three V-bombers (Victor, Valiant and Vulcan) were fine and long-serving aircraft, but the author has also recognised the broader implications of this era. The United States was reluctant to share nuclear technology in the years immediately after World War II, forcing Britain to develop its own weapons and delivery system. The development of submarine missiles also initiated a longstanding rivalry between the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy Nuclear considerations were a key factor in the development of the RAF's strategy and tactics from the 1950s onwards and, in the author's insightful analysis, an important indicator of Britain's changing role in world affairs and increasing dependence on the United States.
Warplanes of World War II
From Germany's Junkers Ju 52 and Japan's Mitsubishi Zero to USA's Grumman Hellcat and the UK's Bristol Blenheim, Warplanes of World War II provides a close look at 50 key aircraft from World War II. They all appear in detailed large-format side-on color photographs, with notes on the craft's unique features. Information on each plane's development, manufacturing history, and technical profile accompany additional photographs and a specification panel.
The Company Man
A trolley car pulls into the station with eleven dead bodies inside. Four minutes before, the factory workers were seen boarding at the previous station. Now, all are dead. And all of them are union. The year is 1919. The McNaughton Corporation is the pinnacle of American industry. They built airships that crossed the seas. Guns that won the Great War. And above all, they built Evesden: the city of tomorrow, dominated by the immense McNaughton Tower. But something is rotten at the heart of Evesden and one man must uncover its dark secret before it all goes up in flames. Caught between the union and the company, between the police and the victims, McNaughton investigator Cyril Hayes must find the truth behind the city of the future. Because if he doesn't . . . he's history.
