Akule
Capturing the big-eyed scad off the Kona Coast of Hawai'i's Big Island that gather and move in dazzling clusters in order to deter predators, akule have been bountiful in Hawai`i for centuries. Their presence has commanded the attention of fisherman throughout the ages. The images command our attention, "living sculptures" as Levin calls them, evoking emotions and sensations in the onlooker as only the purest forms of natural biology can. Levin's black and white imagery vividly presents the massive akule schools suspended in movement and lucidly carries the reader with these hundreds of individuals moving in unison.
Ambiguous Realities
Examining specific literary, historical, and theological texts, the essays in Ambiguous realities illuminate a number of important issues about women in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: the changes in attitude toward women, the role and status of women, the dichotomy between public and private spheres, the prescriptions for women's behavior and the image of the ideal woman, and the difference between the perceived and the actual audience of medieval and Renaissance writers.--Back cover.

Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Representing Michigan for thirty-six years in the U.S. Senate, Carl Levin, the longest-serving senator in Michigan history, was known for his dogged pursuit of the truth, his commitment to holding government accountable, and his basic decency. Getting to the Heart of the Matter: My 36 Years in the Senate is his story - from his early days in Detroit as the son of a respected lawyer to the capstone of his career as chair of both the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Levin's career placed him at the center of some of our nation's most critical points in modern times: from the aftermath of the 1967 Detroit riots, to the Clinton impeachment,...

"This book is the first of two volumes intended to present a truer, far more complete portrait of Kahoʻolawe, one that reveals the current look and feel of the island as well as the story ot its past"--P. xvi.
Financial Exposure
At a time when Congressional investigations have taken on added importance and urgency in American politics, this book offers readers a rare, insider’s portrait of the world of US Congressional oversight. It examines specific oversight investigations into multiple financial and offshore tax scandals over fifteen years, from 1999 to 2014, when Senator Levin served in a leadership role on the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), the Senate’s premier investigative body. Despite mounting levels of partisanship, dysfunction, and cynicism swirling through Congress during those years, this book describes how Congressional oversight investigations can be a powerful tool for uncovering facts, building bipartisan consensus, and fostering change, offering detailed case histories as proof. Grounded in fact, and written as only an insider could tell it, this book will be of interest to financial and tax practitioners, policymakers, academics, students, and the general public.
Other Oceans
Millions of people visit aquariums each year. These showplaces are invaluable educational tools and, more importantly, provide a window into a mysterious world that few of us will ever experience firsthand. But that world is increasingly threatened by human misuse--by pollution, over-fishing, global warming. Accompanying the waste and devastation is a global trend toward building bigger, more fantastic aquariums. Marvels of architecture and engineering, these artificial oceans seem to be our way of preserving the sea even as we destroy it. The stunning black and white duotones presented in Other Oceans are the result of visits to fourteen aquariums in the United States and Japan and diving t...
