  We are witnessing an unprecedented moment in American politics in which impeachments are increasingly common. In today's partisan environment, it is more vital than ever that government officials, scholars, and ordinary citizens understand what an impeachment can reasonably be expected to accomplish. In this incisive and accessible book, Keith Whittington provides needed clarity on the constitutional power of impeachment. 
   
   
   
  Drawing insights from American and British history, congressional practice, and the language of the Constitution itself, Whittington shows how impeachment is a tool for checking abuses of elective office and defending constitutional norms. While we have come to associate impeachment with the presidency, it can be used to remedy gross misconduct by an array of officers of the federal government. Whittington cautions against abusing this immense and consequential power to settle political scores, demonstrating how it undermines the independence of the branches and makes Congress the seat of political power. 
   
   
   
  A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.

  On the morning of April 9, 1940, German forces occupied Denmark and invaded Norway, leaving Sweden as the only neutral country in Scandinavia. 
   
   
   
  It was to this country, surrounded by Axis forces, that Captain H. M. Denham was posted as Naval Attaché, arriving after evading capture by the Nazi Wehrmacht in the summer of 1940. 
   
   
   
  Over the course of the next five years Captain Denham used his position to covertly provide valuable intelligence to the British military, such as the Bismarck's attempt to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping. Thanks to his information, the terrifying battleship was sunk just eight days later. 
   
   
   
  The Swedish were suspicious of Denham, resulting in the Swedish Secret Police even bugging his flat, yet he remained free and continued to acquire and pass on information throughout the war. 
   
   
   
  In Inside the Nazi Ring, Denham gives vivid accounts of his meetings with numerous important political and military figures, such as King Gustav V of Sweden, Field Marshal Mannerheim of Finland, Admiral Raeder, leader of the German Navy, and the Soviet minister, Alexandra Kollontay, as well as various members of the Nordic intelligence services.

  This book takes a deep dive into the intricate world of epilepsy, encompassing its diagnoses, treatment, and scholarly exploration with a keen critical eye. Its primary mission is to present a compelling argument, challenging the prevailing biomedical approach's narrow focus on the brain as the sole locus of intervention for epilepsy. By doing so, it underscores that such an exclusive perspective falls short of addressing the multidimensional needs of individuals living with epilepsy and comprehending their profound lived experiences. 
  In response to this critical shortfall, it proposes a radical departure from the conventional reliance on pharmaceuticals and biological pathways. This innovative approach promises to unveil novel treatments and foster a holistic understanding of the human body's intricacies. By transcending the current biomedical boundaries, this approach has the power to alleviate the suffering of the estimated 70 million people worldwide who grapple with epilepsy.  
  This book represents a beacon of hope and a new era of enlightenment in epilepsy care, potentially significantly enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals affected by this condition.
