  Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the digestive system. The digestive system, which consists of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and associated organs such as the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, plays a crucial role in processing food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. The complexity of the digestive system makes it susceptible to a wide range of conditions, from common issues like acid reflux to more complex diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver cirrhosis. Understanding gastroenterology is vital for maintaining digestive health and effectively managing these disorders. 
  The field of gastroenterology has a broad scope, as it encompasses diseases and conditions affecting various parts of the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists are medical professionals trained to address these conditions, using a combination of diagnostic tools, clinical expertise, and advanced treatment techniques. In recent years, advances in endoscopic procedures, genetic research, and medical therapies have greatly improved our ability to diagnose and treat digestive disorders, allowing for better patient outcomes. 
  Digestive disorders can vary from mild and transient to chronic and debilitating. Some of the most common gastrointestinal issues include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gallbladder diseases. These conditions often present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn. In more severe cases, conditions like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and liver diseases such as hepatitis or cirrhosis can have long-term health consequences and require specialized care.

  In Fear and the First Amendment, Kevin A. Johnson and Craig R. Smith offer an examination of the ways fear figures in First Amendment questions ruled on by the Supreme Court. Johnson and Smith focus on the rulings from the Roberts Court. Each chapter in this book analyzes one or more First Amendment cases and a variety of related fears that pertain to a given case. 
   
   
   
  These cases include Morse v. Frederick, which takes up the competing fears of school administrators' loss of authority and students' loss of free speech rights. The authors touch on corporate funding of elections in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission. They explore religious freedom and fears of homosexuality in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. Similarly, in Snyder v. Phelps, the authors delve further into fears of God, death, emotional distress, failing as a parent, and losing one's reputation. Next, they investigate parents' anxieties about violence in video games in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association. Finally, Johnson and Smith examine the role of fear in indecent, obscene, and graphic communication in three cases. 
   
   
   
  Together these cases reveal fear to be an endemic factor in the rhetoric of First Amendment cases. This work will appeal to current legal practitioners and students of law, rhetoric, philosophy, and the First Amendment.

  Convictions is a spellbinding story from the front lines of the fight against crime. Most Americans know little about the work of assistant United States attorneys, the federal prosecutors who possess sweeping authority to investigate and prosecute the nation's most dangerous criminals. John Kroger pursued high-profile cases against Mafia killers, drug kingpins, and Enron executives. Starting from his time as a green recruit and ending at the peak of his career, he steers us through the complexities of life as a prosecutor, where the battle in the courtroom is only the culmination of long and intricate investigative work. He reveals how to flip a perp, how to conduct a cross, how to work an informant, how to placate a hostile judge. Kroger relates it all with a novelist's eye for detail and a powerful sense of the ethical conflicts he faces. Often dissatisfied with the system, he explains why our law enforcement policies frequently fail in critical areas like drug enforcement and white-collar crime. He proposes new ways in which we can fight crime more effectively, empowering citizens to pressure their lawmakers to adopt more productive policies. This is an unflinching portrait of a crucial but little-understood part of our justice system, and Kroger is an eloquent guide.
