His girlfriend Molly and his friends all become characters in the sick game that is the reality the head creates...
Author Thomas McCann invites readers to rethink their approach to teaching writing by capitalizing on students’ instinctive desire to talk. Drawing on extensive classroom research, he shows teachers how to craft class discussions that build students’ skills of analysis, problem-solving, and argumentation as a means of improving student writing.

In Nursery Rhymes, D.C.I. Keir Dickson put two young brothers behind bars for eight years. In They Never Saw It Coming, the government devised a two-year plan to reduce the congested English prisons. A priest by the name of Fr. Sean O’Brien takes on the task of rehabilitating the two brothers, or so it appeared. The real purpose of taking on these two brothers was to wreak vengeance on the police and British army. D.C.I. Keir Dickson foils the priest plan, who is injured, and loses his right hand when he is finally captured. The story now continues with Sean O’Brien escaping from the hospital bed, and is still intent on seeking revenge: revenge for the death of his two twin brothers that were shot trying to run a roadblock in Ireland by British soldiers, and for the torture he was submitted to. D.C.I. Keir Dickson and his team now have the task of finding O’Brien, and finally bringing him to justice for good.

Only when we transform our minds can we break the chains of our mental enslavement and find true liberation from our misperceptions about race, crime, and justice. Social commentators and scholars have presented numerous theories on these topics. But while all lament the horrors associated with discrimination and racism, few so far have proposed a viable way to escape these sufferings. By taking a critical look at the writings of novelists, social commentators, and scholars in the fields of sociology, criminology, criminal justice, black studies, philosophy, and law, Professor Leon E. Pettiway presents a series of essays that provide a path that liberates us from these sufferings. In doing s...
