  International Law - Human Rights...

  International law is a complex system that governs relations between states and other international actors. It derives from several key sources, with treaties, customary international law, and general principles of law being the primary ones. Here's an overview of these sources: 
    
  Treaties are formal agreements between states or international organizations. They are the most explicit source of international law and are binding on the parties that have ratified them. Treaties can be bilateral (between two parties) or multilateral (involving multiple parties). Examples include the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and various human rights treaties. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties governs how treaties are made, interpreted, and terminated. 
    
  Customary international law develops from the consistent practice of states accompanied by a sense of legal obligation (opinio juris). It's not written down in a formal document but emerges over time as states consistently behave in a certain way out of a belief that such behavior is legally required. Examples include diplomatic immunity and the prohibition of piracy. Customary law can be universal or regional and can evolve over time.

  American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
   
   
   
  As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
   
   
   
  The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.

  Developing Scholars - Race...

  Over the past fifty years, debates concerning race and college admissions have focused primarily on the policy of affirmative action at elite institutions of higher education. But a less well-known approach to affirmative action also emerged in the 1960s in response to urban unrest and Black and Latino political mobilization. The programs that emerged in response to community demands offered a more radical view of college access: admitting and supporting students who do not meet regular admissions requirements and come from families who are unable to afford college tuition, fees, and other expenses. This approach is based on a logic of developing scholars who can be supported at their local public institutions of higher education. 
   
   
   
  In Developing Scholars, Domingo Morel explores the history and political factors that led to the creation of college access programs for students of color in the 1960s. Through a case study of an existing community-centered affirmative action program, Talent Development, Morel shows how protest, including violent protest, has been instrumental in the maintenance of college access programs. Developing Scholars argues that the origin, history, and purpose of these programs reveal gaps in our understanding of college access expansion in the US that challenge conventional wisdom of American politics.
