The Stone
These are the chronicles of Derek Mann, an archeologist, historian and seeker of truth. His journeys take him to exotic places and bring him face to face with many different cultures and people. However, in his quest for truth some of his most important discoveries come from his own heritage, and as far away as his own backyard. Derek finds people, or rather people find him, through the most amazing of circumstances and coincidences that it causes him to wonder if he wasn’t led by a higher power. Dr. Mann and his family are placed in harms way because someone is searching for a forgotten stone he had received from a colleague and filed away some years ago. Derek Mann is pulled into an adventure that changes his faith and ultimately he is compelled to share with the world the hope that lies within him.

Uniform Feelings
In Uniform Feelings, American studies scholar and abolitionist psychotherapist Jessi Lee Jackson reads policing as a set of emotional and relational practices in order to shed light on the persistence of police violence. Jackson argues that psychological investments in U.S. police power emerge at various sites: her counseling room, manuals for addressing bias, museum displays, mortality statistics, and memorial walls honoring fallen officers. Drawing on queer, feminist, anticolonial, and Black engagements with psychoanalysis to think through U.S. policing—and bringing together a mix of clinical case studies, autotheory, and ethnographic research—the book moves from the individual to the institutional. Jackson begins with her work as a psychotherapist working across the spectrum of relationships to policing, and then turns to interrogate carceral psychology—the involvement of her profession in ongoing state violence. Jackson orbits around two key questions: how are our relationships shaped by proximity to state violence, and how can our social worlds be transformed to challenge state-sanctioned violence?
The Horse
Alvin Miller Sr. dodged the bullet of destruction with the help of a seventh-grade teacher named Mrs. Rita M. Johnson. From age six to thirteen, the author engaged in a disturbing pattern of criminal behavior. As a young lad growing up in poverty, he worked as a migrant worker and once saw his aunt shoot a man. Despite the author’s shortcomings, Mrs. Johnson believed he had a bright future. She thought “the horse” could run for all the right reasons—instead of the wrong reasons that had been pushing him on. Like a good physician, Mrs. Johnson knew the horse was broken, but she strived to put him back together for the running of the roses. Without his knowledge, she began working to make him better. Find out how a compassionate teacher helped a student turn away from a life of crime so he could focus on his abilities as an athlete and academic and race to college instead of prison.

The Orange Bowl has been played 88 times since 1935. Originating as the small Festival of Palms Bowl, meant to attract tourists to Miami, it has grown into a national football event watched by 16 million people. Beginning with Bucknell's first victory over Miami, this book covers each Bowl in detail, including the first game in Miami Orange Bowl stadium in 1938; Charles Bryant's breaking of the color barrier in 1955; the four national championship games of the 1980s; the move to what is now Hard Rock Stadium in the 1990s; and the new era of the Bowl as a semifinal game in the College Football Playoff.
Towards Drug Policy Justice
Taking the shifting global drug policy terrain as a starting point, this collection moves beyond debates about whether to reform drug policies to a focus on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ – repairing the damage caused by the war on drugs as a component of reform efforts and safeguarding against future harms in legal markets. This book brings together some of the leading international thinkers and advocates on harm reduction and drug policy to introduce key questions in contemporary drug policy. Across five themes, and with contributions from different regions and disciplines, it explores ethical, legal, empirical and historical perspectives on delivering ‘drug policy justice’ from supply through to use. Essays cover a wide range of issues, from the effects of COVID on drug policy to securing economic and environmental justice, and from human rights in Asian drug policy to questions of race and equity in cannabis reforms, providing diverse insights on both prominent and overlooked drug policy challenges. Towards Drug Policy Justice is a benchmark text for scholars, students, advocates and policymakers as the book explores new models of global drug policy reform.
