Sinopsis

Pitcairn Crime explores the fascinating and complex legal history of Pitcairn Island, a remote British territory populated by descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers. This true crime narrative delves into the challenges of applying modern legal standards to an isolated culture with its own unique history and social norms. The book investigates the high-profile sexual assault trials that brought Pitcairn into the international spotlight, raising questions about justice, cultural relativism, and the long arm of international law in isolated communities.

 
The book examines Pitcairn's evolution from a mutineers' haven to a self-governing territory, highlighting how this history influenced legal proceedings and public perception. The narrative analyzes the evidence and legal arguments presented during the trials, revealing the difficulties of enforcing laws across vast geographical distances and cultural divides.

 
It underscores how the trials exposed fundamental tensions between cultural autonomy and universal human rights, impacting Pitcairn's social fabric and its relationship with the outside world. Beginning with Pitcairn's history and culture, the book progresses through the development of its legal system, focusing on the investigation and trials related to sexual offenses. It culminates in a discussion of the trials' long-term impact, offering a unique perspective by combining legal analysis with historical context and cultural sensitivity, making it valuable for those interested in true crime, legal history, and the dynamics of isolated communities.

    The middle Texas coast, known locally as the Coast Bend, is an area filled with fascinating stories. From as early as the days of de Vaca and La Salle, the Coastal Bend has been a site of early exploration, bloody conflicts, legendary shipwrecks, and even a buried treasure or two. However, much of the true history has remained unknown, misunderstood, and even hidden. For years, local historian C. Herndon Williams has shared his fascinating discoveries of the area's early stories through his weekly column, "Coastal Bend Chronicle." Now he has selected some of his favorites in Texas Gulf Coast Stories. Join Williams as he explores the days of early settlement and European contact, Karankawa and Tonkawa legends, and the Coastal Bend's tallest of tall tales.

    In this extraordinarily compelling trans memoir, Avi, a bearish trans man and Psychology Professor, navigates sex and dating in a phallic-centric universe of men who love men. But something is missing. To become the man he aspires to be, he needs to reconnect with Talia, his hyper-feminine straight female past, and invite her back in.  Growing up in a working-class right-wing Israeli family and barely finishing high school, he became involved in pro-Palestinian activism and escaped compulsory military service by faking madness. Despite poor schooling Avi went on to attain a PhD from Yale and change his life entirely. This memoir is the story of that journey and explores what it means to come home to oneself with brutal honesty, humour, and self-compassion.  Told in three episodes, early transition, later transition and Talia's story, this memoir tackles contemporary gender and social issues. At its heart is a universal theme: to become who we already are, we must integrate the past into the present

    We have to stop treating a pneumonia patient with cough syrup! The majority of leadership books focus on treating the symptoms of poor leadership and not the disease itself. In leadership the symptoms may be low employee engagement, bad communication, lack of trust, and micromanagement, but the underlying disease relates to CHARACTER. 
    Our data proves that people want to follow character. 
    Ask yourself, "Would you follow you?"  
    Unlike other books, Becoming a Leader of Character simply and boldly tells us HOW to develop our character instead of just telling us we need to have it. Developing character is not complicated, but it is hard. Growing always requires a little sweat! 
    "You have to DO what you want to BE!" 
    If you want something more than theories, and you want to BE the Leader of Character your business, your family, and your country desperately need, read Becoming a Leader of Character and start doing what Leaders of Character DO. 
    This book lays out a plan for you to become that leader you would want to follow - a Leader of Character.
