Sinopse

"Public Interest Lawyers" explores the vital role of legal advocates who champion social justice, stand up for vulnerable populations, and ensure corporate accountability. These lawyers work tirelessly in areas like tenant rights, consumer protection, and environmental advocacy, often battling governmental overreach and powerful corporate interests. The book highlights how these advocates guarantee access to justice for those who might otherwise be silenced, revealing the strategies they employ to shape legal precedent and influence policy.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the history of public interest law, then diving into specific areas where these lawyers are active, using case studies and personal narratives to illustrate their impact. It sheds light on the legal context, explaining key legislation and case law related to consumer protection, housing, and environmental regulations.

 
One intriguing aspect is how public interest lawyers address systemic issues, tackling the root causes of inequality rather than just individual cases. The narrative approach makes complex legal concepts accessible, showcasing the human element behind these crucial battles.

 
By drawing on court documents, legislative records, and interviews, "Public Interest Lawyers" demonstrates how legal action can be a powerful tool for social progress, offering readers insights into their legal rights and empowering them to advocate for change.

An electric essay collection about Blackness, art, and dreaming of new possibilities in a time of constriction 
 
 
 
This collection of innovative, penetrating, and lively essays features swimming pools and poets, road trips and museums, family dinners and celebrity sightings. In a voice that is at once piercing, mournful, and slyly comic, Aisha Sabatini Sloan inhabits several roles: she is an art enthusiast in Los Angeles during a city-wide manhunt; a daughter on a road trip with her father; a professor playing with puppets in the wilds of Vermont; an interloper on a police ride-along in Detroit; a collector of the dreams of scientists at a biostation. As she watches cell phone video recordings of murder and is haunted in her sleep by the news, she reflects on her formative experiences with aesthetic and spiritual discovery, troubling those places where Blackness has been conflated with death. 
 
 
 
Sabatini Sloan's lively style is perfectly suited to the way she circles a subject or an idea before cinching it tight. The curiosity that guides each essay, focusing on the period between the 2016 election and the onset of the pandemic, is rooted in the supposition that there is an intrinsic relationship between the way we conceptualize darkness and our collective opportunity for awakening.

Set on the banks of the Boardman River, just south of Traverse City, Michigan, River Love is a compelling memoir about a dog named Sheldon and his remarkable journey to his true home. Tricia Frey shares her deeply personal story, starting from the day she and her sister co-purchased the river property in 2005. The following spring, Tricia spotted the skittish, frightened, little Sheltie she eventually named Sheldon. A shed was transformed into a house for Sheldon and a bond of love began. It took Tricia two years to establish the trust needed to touch him for the first time and eventually get him into her home on this special piece of land known as Rivershire. 
Rivershire in a magical place, beckoning in lost souls in need of transformation and safe harbor. In this place, a wayward Sheltie finds his home, a stronger sisterhood emerges, and Tricia comes to trust and believe in herself once again through the love of a dog and the nurturing powers of nature. 
Simply stated, River Love is a story of resilience, healing, redemption, and -- most of all -- love. With humor, grace, touching narrative, and an unforseen turn of events, River Love will draw you in, never letting go of your heart.

What do you do when your partner’s infidelity upends your life? When you confront living on your own? In amongst parents dying, careers ending and becoming a grandparent? 
As a journalist, Kate Legge often seeks answers to how people reckon with bad luck or bad decisions. When faced with her husband’s affair, she discovered a fault line of betrayal running through four generations 
of his family, which began a search for answers both close to home and more universally. 
Infidelity and Other Affairs begins with this puzzle: is unfaithfulness a predisposition or a learned behaviour? From there, Legge contemplates a vast catalogue of behaviours as she strives to understand how we 
become who we are. 
To her own surprise, she finds strength and peace over revenge and hate, as well as joy in unexpected places. 
 
‘One cannot fail to be entranced by Legge’s bone-deep strength and wisdom.’ ANNABEL CRABB 
‘Unflinchingly investigating the value of monogamy and the true cost of betrayal.’ TRENT DALTON
