The Trial of Julian Assange - A...

Nils Melzer

In July 2010, Wikileaks published Cablegate, one of the biggest leaks in the history of the US military, including evidence for war crimes and torture. In the aftermath Julian Assange, the founder and spokesman of Wikileaks, found himself at the center of a media storm, accused of hacking and later sexual assault. He spent the next seven years in asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, fearful that he would be extradited to Sweden to face the accusations of assault and then sent to US. 
 
 
 
At this point, Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, started his investigation into how the US and UK governments were working together to ensure a conviction. His findings are explosive, revealing that Assange has faced grave and systematic due process violations, judicial bias, collusion and manipulated evidence. Melzer also gathered together consolidated medical evidence that proves that Assange has suffered prolonged psychological torture. 
 
 
 
Melzer's compelling investigation puts the UK and US state into the dock, showing how, through secrecy, impunity and, crucially, public indifference, unchecked power reveals a deeply undemocratic system. Furthermore, the Assange case sets a dangerous precedent: once telling the truth becomes a crime, censorship and tyranny will inevitably follow.

Beneath Foundations for Eternal...

Thomas G. Edel

Does truth exist? What is truth? How can truth be known?  
Through observation and reason, many aspects of truth can be known. These kinds of truths form the bedrock on which true faith and knowledge can be built. Consider for yourself whether or not you agree that the “truths” discussed in this book are “self-evident”! 
This book is divided into three parts: 
Part 1: Some Self-Evident Truths. 
Part 2: Faith and Science. 
Part 3: God Revealed. 
Part 1 focuses on self-evident truths which are important in understanding matters of faith as well as life in general. 
Part 2 deals with the tension between faith and science, and how the two can be understood so that they don’t conflict with each other. 
Part 3 presents how some aspects of God’s character are self-evident from what God has made, and how we can learn from other people about God. 
Come and explore truth!

Hacking Deficit Thinking - 8...

Kelsie Reed, Byron McClure

Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
 
 
 
"At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
 
 
 
Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
 
 
 
In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.

The Chevron Doctrine - Its Rise...

Thomas W. Merrill

The Constitution makes Congress the principal federal lawmaker. Power has inevitably shifted to the executive branch agencies that interpret laws already on the books and to the courts that review the agencies' interpretations. 
 
 
 
Since the Supreme Court's 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, this judicial review has been highly deferential: courts must uphold agency interpretations of unclear laws as long as these interpretations are "reasonable." But the Chevron doctrine faces backlash from constitutional scholars and, now, from Supreme Court justices who insist that courts, not administrative agencies, have the authority to say what the law is. Recognizing that Congress cannot help relying on agencies to carry out laws, Merrill rejects the notion of discarding the administrative state. Instead, he focuses on what should be the proper relationship between agencies and courts in interpreting laws, given the strengths and weaknesses of these institutions. Courts are better at enforcing the rule of law and constitutional values; agencies have more policy expertise and receive more public input. 
 
 
 
The best solution, Merrill suggests, is not of the either-or variety. Neither executive agencies nor courts alone should pick up the slack of our increasingly ineffectual legislature.
