Beyond Portia: Women, Law, and Literature in the United Statesby Jacqueline St. Joan, Annette Bennington McElhiney, Jacqueline St JoanISBN 155553306X (1-55553-306-X)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Beyond Portia: Women, Law, and Literature in the United States'Book summary:This pioneering anthology presents an interdisciplinary collage of women's experiences with the law by mixing creative and analytical writings in law and literature. Beyond Portia opens with grounding essays in both literary and legal theory, and offers two collections of essays, stories, and poems that focus in turn on law and literature on families, and law and literature on abuse of women. Drawing on the idea that literature by women can offer material richer than the typical case fact pattern used in traditional legal training, the editors show that both literature and literary methods of reading can help articulate otherwise unspoken premises in legal decision-making, bringing them into the open for examination.

Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policingby Norm StamperISBN 1560258551 (1-56025-855-1)
Softcover, Nation Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing'Book summary:Norm Stamper, formerly chief of the Seattle Police Force and deputy chief of the San Diego Police Department, has written a story unlike any other. Part memoir, part polemic on the state of policing in America, Breaking Rank melds progressive politics with hard-boiled reportage in the tradition of Charles Bukowski and Elmore Leonard.[via]
With provocatively titled chapters like Why White Cops Kill Black Men and Sexual Predators in Uniform, Stamper reveals a force that can be racist, corrupt, overly militaristic, and chauvinist, yet is also made up of brave and good men and women. He reflects upon what it is like to kill a man, why drugs should be decriminalized, the correct approach to prostitution and gun control, and how the force should be trained for the future. Stampers prescriptions for change are both reasoned and challenging, but at no time does Breaking Rank become didactic it is a riveting story told from the perspective of one of America's top cops on the street.More editions of Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing:

The Criminalization of a Woman's Bodyby Clarice FeinmanISBN 1560230096 (1-56023-009-6)
Softcover, Harrington Park Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Criminalization of a Woman's Body'Book summary:This groundbreaking book addresses the ominous trend of introducing and passing laws and court decisions regulating the actions of women and the control of their bodies. One of the few books published on the criminalization of womens bodies, this timely book takes a serious look at the effect these laws would have on women and the threat to their autonomy, privacy, and control; their bodily integrity; control over reproductive capacities; and their constitutional rights. From ancient literature to the literature and law of contemporary society, a womans value has often rested on her fulfilling expected roles as wife and mother. The lack of respect for women inherent in this predominantly male-oriented line of thinking is reinforced in this new trend of legislation and court decisions attempting to regulate womens behavior and reproductive capacity. The Criminalization of a Womans Body thoroughly discusses these special laws governing womens personal choices and the threats these laws and court decisions pose to womens autonomy and constitutional rights. Scholars from Israel, Italy, and the United States provide a multidimensional discussion of the problem facing women in many, if not all, countries. Contributors represent various disciplines including, law, philosophy, medicine, political science, sociology, womens studies, and criminal justice. Articles analyze sensitive issues surrounding abortion and its impending criminalization in several countries; controversial topics on contract motherhood; the power of administrative agencies to control and informally criminalize pregnant women and new mothers; policies meant to protect the fetus from pregnant women who deviate from medically, socially, and legally sanctioned behavior which may deter women from seeking any medical care; and the destruction of families due to the criminalization of pregnant women and new mothers and the consequent removal of their children and placement into foster care. Professors, students, librarians, agency workers dealing with womens issues, and women and men in the general public will find this important book a helpful tool in sorting through the complex issues on criminalizing womens bodies.

Gulliver's Travelsby Jonathan Swift, Thomas M. BallietISBN 1557424764 (1-55742-476-4)
Hardcover, Wildside Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Gulliver's Travels'Book summary:Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726; and, although it was by no means intended for them, the book was soon appropriated by the children, who have ever since continued to regard it as one of the most delightful of their story books. They cannot comprehend the occasion which provoked the book nor appreciate the satire which underlies the narrative, but they delight in the wonderful adventures, and wander full of open-eyed astonishment into the new worlds through which the vivid and logically accurate imagination of the author so personally conducts them. And there is a meaning and a moral in the stories of the Voyages to Lilliput and Brobdingnag which is entirely apart from the political satire they are intended to convey, a meaning and a moral which the youngest child who can read it will not fail to seize, and upon which it is scarcely necessary for the teacher to comment. For young children the book combines in a measure the interest of Robinson Crusoe and that of the fairy tale; its style is objective, the narrative is simple, and the matter appeals strongly to the childish imagination. For more mature boys and girls and for adults the interest is found chiefly in the keen satire which underlies the narrative. It appeals, therefore, to a very wide range of intelligence and taste, and can be read with profit by the child of ten and by the young man or woman of mature years.
This edition is practically a reprint of the original (1726-27). The punctuation and capitalization have been modernized, some archaisms changed, and the paragraphs have been made more frequent. A few passages have been omitted which would offend modern ears and are unsuitable for children's reading, and some foot-notes have been added explaining obsolete words and obscure expressions. [via]

A Lexicon of Lunacy: Metaphoric Malady, Moral Responsibility, and Psychiatryby Thomas SzaszISBN 1560000651 (1-56000-065-1)
Hardcover, Transaction Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Lexicon of Lunacy: Metaphoric Malady, Moral Responsibility, and Psychiatry'Book summary:Thomas Szasz is renowned for his critical explora- tion of the literal language of psychiatry and his rejection of officially sanctioned definitions of mental illness. His work has initiated a continuing debate in the psychiatric community whose essence is often misunderstood. Szasz's critique of the established view of mental illness is rooted in an insistent distinction between disease and behavior. In his view, psychiatrists have misapplied the vocabulary of disease as metaphorical figures to denote a range of deviant behaviors from the merely eccentric to the criminal. In A Lexicon of Lunacy, Szasz extends his analysis of psychiatric language to show how its misuse has resulted in a medicalized view of life that denies the reality of free will and responsibility.
Szasz documents the extraordinary extent to which modern diagnosis of mental illness is subject to shifting social attitudes and values. He shows how economic, personal, legal, and political factors have come to play an increasingly powerful role in the diagnostic process, with consequences of blurring the distinction between cultural and scientific standards. Broadened definitions of mental illness have had a corrosive effect on the criminal justice system in undercutting traditional conceptions of criminal behavior and have encouraged state-sanctioned coercive interventions that bestow special privileges (and impose special hardships) on persons diagnosed as mentally ill.
Lucidly written and powerfully argued, and now available in paperback, this provocative and challenging volume will be of interest to psychologists, criminologists, and sociologists.
"No one attacks loose-thinking and folly with half the precision and zest of Thomas Szasz. Another good book in an impressive canon."--John Leo, U.S. News & World Report
Thomas Szasz is professor of psychiatry emeritus at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, Washington, D.C. He is the author of over two dozen books in fifteen languages, including The Myth of Mental Illness, Pharmacracy: Medicine and Politics in America, and most recently Liberation by Oppression, also published by Transaction.

Oscar Wilde's Last Stand: Decadence, Conspiracy, and the Most Outrageous Trial of the Centuryby Philip HoareISBN 1559704721 (1-55970-472-1)
Softcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Oscar Wilde's Last Stand: Decadence, Conspiracy, and the Most Outrageous Trial of the Century'Book summary:Even though Oscar Wilde--playwright, wit, critic, and convicted sodomite--died exiled and disgraced in 1900, his memory and influence remain central to British culture. In 1918 the specter of Wilde manifested itself in what social historian Philip Hoare calls "the trial of the century." This shocking libel case was brought by American actress Maud Allan, who had just appeared in a production of Wilde's Salome, against Noel Pemberton Billing, an arch-conservative M.P., who accused her of being a member of "the cult of the clitoris": his catch phase for a sexual and social degeneracy that he saw as destroying England. Billing also claimed that the German government (with whom, you will recall, England was at war) had "a black book" containing the names of 47,000 prominent members of the British society who were "in the cult of Wilde"--a euphemism for quot;degenerate" homosexuals--and who were potential blackmailees, subversives, and traitors. As in the Wilde trials 23 years earlier, the real issue here was an attack by conservatives and moralists against social and sexual freedom.
As in his earlier work, Serious Pleasures: The Life of Stephen Tennant and Noel Coward: A Biography, Hoare proves himself to be an incisive social critic and a vigorous historian who illuminates the paradoxes of the recent past with insight and passion. But the real power of Oscar Wilde's Last Stand (that Hoare makes clear again and again) is its understanding that Wilde--social rebel and martyr to artistic and sexual freedom--remains, in so many ways, under attack by conservative social forces even today. --Michael Bronski END [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got to Be So Hated'Book summary:The United States has been engaged in what the great historian Charles A. Beard called "perpetual war for perpetual peace." The Federation of American Scientists has cataloged nearly 200 military incursions since 1945 in which the United States has been the aggressor. In a series of penetrating and alarming essays, whose centerpiece is a commentary on the events of September 11, 2001 (deemed too controversial to publish in this country until now) Gore Vidal challenges the comforting consensus following September 11th and goes back and draws connections to Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. He asks were these simply the acts of "evil-doers?" "Gore Vidal is the master essayist of our age." Washington Post "Our greatest living man of letters."Boston Globe "Vidal's imagination of American politics is so powerful as to compel awe."Harold Bloom, The New York Review of Books[via]More editions of Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got to Be So Hated:

Reflections on Clinical Legal Educationby Philip G. Schrag, Michael MeltsnerISBN 1555533396 (1-55553-339-6)
Hardcover, Univ Pr of New England

› Find signed collectible books: 'Reflections on Clinical Legal Education'Book summary:During the social ferment of the 1960s, the legal landscape in the United States was significantly transformed by a handful of visionary lawyers and organizations. Among the pioneers was the Ford Foundation, which formed the Council on Legal Education for Professional Responsibility (CLEPR), an innovative experiment to establish legal clinics at law schools. Now a standard curricular feature at law schools throughout the nation, the clinics enriched and reformed legal education by teaching students about the practice of law.
Philip G. Schrag and Michael Meltsner, members of the founding generation of clinical law professors, compile in this volume their influential articles on the evolution of clinical legal education over the past three decades. Among the topics addressed are the structure and methods of clinical teaching programs, the process of supervision, the learning contract between professors and students, and the administration of legal clinics. The volume concludes with a discussion of the relationship between law schools, clinics, social justice, and law reform. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sex-Crime Panic: A Journey to the Paranoid Heart of the 1950s'Book summary:[via]Following the brutal murders of two children in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1954, police, in an attempt to quell public hysteria, arrested 20 men whom the authorities never claimed had anything to do with the crimes. Labeled as sexual psychopaths under an Iowa law that lumped homosexuals together with child molesters and murderers, the men were sentenced to a mental institution until cured. Their shocking story is brought to light for the first time by award-winning journalist Neil Miller, author of Out of the Past: Gay and Lesbian History from 1869 to the Present. Shedding a harsh light on 1950s attitudes toward homosexuality, Miller's carefully researched account shows how the paranoia of the McCarthy era destroyed the lives of gay men in the American heartland. Interviews with the formerly incarcerated men, law enforcement officials, lawyers, mental hospital staff, and relatives of the murder victims provides a vivid and disturbing glimpse of a town that betrayed its own sons and a mental institution where patients provided cheap labor and shock treatment was the therapy of choice. A gripping story of murder and antigay hysteria, Sex-Crime Panic presents a dark chapter in the history of postwar America.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Understanding Environmental Administration and Law'Book summary:[via]More than any other field of public administration, environmental administration is defined by its legal content. Federal legislation has a direct and immediate impact on state and federal bureaucrats, and citizen groups must constantly adjust to changing standards for environmental protection and regulation.
In Understanding Environmental Administration and Law, Susan J. Buck examines the use of environmental law by exploring the policy process through which such law is made, the political environment in which it is applied, and the statutory and case laws that are critical to working within the regulatory system. The book provides an analytic framework for the legal context of environmental administration and familiarizes readers with the development and implementation of the federal regulatory structure.
A revised and expanded edition of this book was published by Island Press in 1996.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Women on the Row: Reflections from Both Sides of the Bars'Book summary:While researching her book on women and the death penalty, Kathleen O'Shea made a systematic attempt to contact every woman in the U.S. on death row. At first, she got nowhere, but eventually she began to correspond with two or three women, who in turn told their friends about her work, and how O'Shea, unlike most reporters, was willing to let them tell their own stories. Soon O'Shea was receiving a dozen or so letters a week from women on death row, and supplying many with stamps and envelopes. The result is a slim but shattering volume of reflections by women, some but not all of whom claim to be innocent, describing their lives before and since being placed on death row. Their memories are movingly juxtaposed with the author's astonishing life story. As a young woman, O'Shea, a nun and social worker, began an ill-advised consensual romance with an underage female student, whose mother ensured not only that O'Shea was fired and driven out of town, but that she was removed from almost every job that she subsequently sought. Her religious community evicted her, and her bishop denied her confession. While the age of the student made their love a crime, the persecution O'Shea experienced, and her long years of depression and recovery, make her well able to understand the lives of death row inmates, and to affirm that, in the words of Sister Helen Prejean, we are better than our worst mistake. --Regina Marler [via]
