Story
Under the current administration, not only are the civil rights of foreigners in jeopardy, but those of U.S. citizens. A public defender for 29 years, Steven Wax interweaves the stories of two men that he represented: Brandon Mayfield, an American-born lawyer and family man, arrested as a suspected terrorist after a fingerprint was incorrectly traced back to him by the FBI; and Adel Hamad, a Sudanese hospital administrator taken from his apartment to a Pakistani prison and then flown in chains to the United States military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Story
In his widely acclaimed volume Our Undemocratic Constitution, Sanford Levinson boldly argued that our Constitution should not be treated with "sanctimonious reverence," but as a badly flawed document deserving revision. Now Levinson takes us deeper, asking what were the original assumptions underlying our institutions, and whether we accept those assumptions 225 years later.

Story
Thurgood Marshall was the most important American lawyer of the 20th century. He transformed the nation's legal landscape by challenging the racial segregation that had relegated millions to second-class citizenship. He won 29 of 33 cases before the United States Supreme Court, was a federal appeals court judge, served as the US solicitor general, and, for 24 years, sat on the Supreme Court. Marshall is best known for achievements after he relocated to New York in 1936 to work for the NAACP.

Story
In this engaging volume, Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson argues that America's most brilliant legal minds have launched a set of cosmic constitutional theories that, for all their value, are undermining self-governance. Judge Wilkinson calls for a plainer, simpler, self-disciplined commitment to judicial restraint and democratic governance, a course that alas may be impossible so long as the cosmic constitutionalists so dominate contemporary legal thought.

The 1772 London trial of James Somerset, rescued from a ship bound for the West Indies slave markets, was a decisive turning point in history.

Inside the hidden world of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn's Crown Heights--a close-knit but divided community. On a cold night in December, the members of a Hasidic anti-crime patrol called the Shomrim are summoned to a yeshiva dormitory in Crown Heights. There to break up a brawl, the Shomrim instead find themselves embroiled in a religious schism which has split the community and turned roommate against roommate, neighbor against neighbor. At the center of the storm is Aron Hershkop....

In Losing the News, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex S. Jones offers a probing look at the epochal changes sweeping the media, changes which are eroding the core news that has been the essential food supply of our democracy. Losing the News depicts an unsettling situation in which the American birthright of fact-based, reported news is in danger. But it is also a call to arms to fight to keep the core of news intact.

Story
No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies.

Americans are losing the freedom to make sense of daily choices - teachers can't maintain order in the classroom, managers are trained to avoid candor, schools ban tag, and companies plaster inane warnings on everything: "Remove Baby Before Folding Stroller". Philip K. Howard’s urgent argument is full of examples, often darkly humorous. What’s at stake, Howard explains in this seminal book, is the vitality of American culture.

Regolano, vigilano, sanzionano, autorizzano; talvolta sono invocate, ma più spesso sono criticate e giudicate "irresponsabili". Ma cosa sono veramente le autorità indipendenti? E a cosa servono questi organismi anomali che hanno rappresentato uno dei principali fenomeni di trasformazione dello stato amministrativo italiano? Dall'Antritrust alla Consob, all'Autorità garante per la comunicazione o per la privacy, ciascuna è dotata di una diversa fisionomia organizzativa, ma tutte hanno una caratteristica comune: neutralità e indipendenza dal potere politico.

Story
L'istituto dell'adozione ha subito profonde modifiche negli ultimi trent'anni spostando l'attenzione sul soggetto più debole e quindi privilegiando i diritti e le garanzie del minore rispetto ai desideri delle coppie senza figli. In questo quadro la legge 149, approvata due mesi prima della fine della legislatura, ha segnato una preoccupante inversione di tendenza. Le nuove regole sono assai più elastiche sui requisiti per adottare, mentre sono assai più rigide per dichiarare l'adottabilità di un bambino.

L'autore del volume illustra tutto il percorso che, a partire dal processo di Norimberga, ha condotto al passaggio da una logica di emergenza alla istituzionalizzazione della giustizia penale internazionale.

"Una tantum" e ticket, investimenti e agevolazioni fiscali: con l'ineluttabilità del succedersi delle stagioni, la finanziaria diviene ogni autunno il tema centrale della politica italiana, l'appuntamento capace di incidere in modo significativo sulla nostra vita quotidiana. Introdotta nella nostra legislazione nel 1978, la "manovra" è stata uno strumento politico determinante sia negli anni '80, quando rappresentò il mezzo perverso per alimentare la spesa pubblica, sia successivamente, quando divenne il tramite virtuoso del risanamento.
