Sinopse

Famous Trials explores the landmark court cases that have significantly shaped American society, focusing on how these trials established legal precedents and influenced individual rights, federal power, and movements for social justice. It examines how legal interpretations impact everyday life, from defining constitutional rights like freedom of speech and religion to setting the boundaries between federal and state authority. The book uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of legal, social, and political forces, presenting a balanced view of the facts and arguments involved in each case. 

 
The book is structured thematically, progressing from cases involving individual rights to those concerning federal power and social justice. By examining court transcripts and news reports, it avoids legal jargon, making complex legal concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in American history and political science. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the judicial system and how landmark cases reflect societal anxieties and aspirations while shaping the legal landscape for future generations.

    Sometimes the simplest thing can change an entire culture.
    This is the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of the staple foods of Europe, powered an economic boom and inspired artists, writers and musicians.
    It ranges from the wild waters of the North Atlantic, the ice-filled fjords of Greenland and the remote islands of Faroe to the dining tables of London's middle classes, the bacalao restaurants of Spain and the Jewish shtetls of Eastern Europe.
    As well as following the historical thread and exploring how very different cultures were drawn together by the salt fish trade, John Goodlad meets those whose lives revolve around the industry in the twenty-first century and addresses today's pressing themes of sustainability, climate change and food choices.

    This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. 
     
    Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.  
     
    Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution-and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. 
     
    Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.

    The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
     
     
      
    Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
     
     
      
    Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

    For many, she was simply the last of King Henry VIII’s many wives, but Catherine Parr was much more than that. She had a unique and incredible history all of her own. Catherine was a dynamic figure who survived more than her fair share of hardship. Even before she married Henry, she found herself caught up in the drama of England’s Reformation, and at one point, she was even held hostage in her own home by religious radicals. 
    Catherine Parr was also a highly educated woman. She authored several books and was one of the first women to publish books under her own name in the English language. Once she became queen, she stood tall. She served as regent during Henry VIII’s absence, and her political acumen greatly influenced her two stepdaughters—Mary and Elizabeth—who would one day become queens in their own right, partly thanks to Catherine’s insistence that they should be added to the line of succession. 
    This book uncovers the often glossed-over details of this enigmatic woman. Here, you will find the life and legend of Catherine Parr in full. Her legacy extended beyond her lifetime and shaped the course of English history forever.
