  The Jury - A Very Short...

  Almost every society has professional judges, but from ancient Athens to modern Asia, cultures have wanted ordinary people involved in legal decisions. The use of juries comes with challenges; societies must determine how to select jurors, what cases jurors should decide and by what rules, and how to inform jurors about the law and evidence. 
   
   
   
  This Very Short Introduction shows how and why societies around the world have used juries, charting the spread of the twelve-person jury from England to the British colonies in America, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. In criminal cases, use of lay jurors has stretched to nations in Europe, Latin America, and Asia as they aspire to democracy, greater popular participation in government, and legitimacy of the justice system. But in English-speaking countries, jury trials are declining. Civil juries have been virtually abolished everywhere except the United States, and even there they are rare. In criminal cases, plea bargaining is now taking the place of jury trials. In this book, Renée Lettow Lerner describes the benefits and challenges of using juries, including jury nullification, and considers how innovations from non-English-speaking countries may be key to the survival of lay participation.

  Psychopathy - A Personality...

  Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder characterized by a unique set of emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral traits. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit a profound lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and an inability to form deep emotional connections. They are skilled at deception and can appear charming and charismatic, which allows them to navigate social situations with ease while hiding their true nature. 
  One of the most defining traits of psychopathy is emotional detachment. Psychopaths do not experience emotions in the same way that most people do. While they may understand emotions on an intellectual level, they lack the ability to genuinely feel them, particularly emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. This emotional deficit makes them highly adept at exploiting others without any sense of moral conflict. They can feign emotions convincingly, using charm and flattery to manipulate those around them for personal gain. 
  Manipulativeness is another hallmark of psychopathy. Psychopaths use deception and persuasion to control others, often without their victims realizing it. They are highly strategic and will adjust their behavior based on what benefits them the most in a given situation. Because they lack empathy, they do not hesitate to lie, cheat, or deceive if it serves their interests.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski follows the journey of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher, as he navigates a world filled with dangerous monsters and complex moral dilemmas. The narrative explores the themes of destiny versus choice, and the nature of good and evil. Geralt's encounters with various creatures, both human and non-human, challenge the traditional notion of "monster" and highlight the often blurry lines between them. The book also explores themes of prejudice and cohabitation between different races, while Geralt must find his place in the world, often choosing his own moral code even when it goes against the expectations placed upon him by society.

  Boldly claiming a space in which people with disabilities can be seen and heard as they are—not as others perceive them—About Us captures the voices of a community that has for too long been stereotyped and misrepresented. Speaking not only to those with disabilities, but also to their families, coworkers, and support networks, the authors in About Us offer intimate stories of how they navigate a world not built for them. 
   
   
   
  Since its 2016 debut, the popular New York Times "Disability" column has transformed the national dialogue around disability. Now, echoing the refrain of the disability rights movement, "Nothing about us without us," this landmark collection gathers the most powerful essays from the series that speak to the fullness of human experience—stories about first romance, childhood shame and isolation, segregation, professional ambition, child-bearing and parenting, aging and beyond. 
   
   
   
  Reflecting on the fraught conversations around disability—from the friend who says "I don't think of you as disabled," to the father who scolds his child with attention differences, "Stop it stop it stop it what is wrong with you?"—the stories here reveal the range of responses, and the variety of consequences, to being labeled as "disabled" by the broader public.

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  In Mitch Albom's The First Phone Call From Heaven, the residents of Coldwater, Michigan, experience a phenomenon where they receive phone calls from deceased loved ones. This event creates a mix of hope and skepticism, drawing media attention and curiosity from around the world. As the town grapples with the implications of these calls, Sully Harding, a man with a troubled past, investigates the situation. The narrative explores themes of grief, the human desire for connection, and the power of belief. It delves into how people cope with loss and what happens when those longings are seemingly fulfilled, only to be questioned. The story examines the way hope can be both a comfort and a source of potential manipulation.
