  "The entire cowboy-outlaw era, which reached its climax in 1897 and ended around 1905, comes vividly alive in this kaleidoscopic work ... countless other instances of robbing, stealing and retribution, are woven splendidly into this rousing saga of the closing years of the outlaw epoch of the American West." —Wall Street JournalFrom multiple New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin comes the thrilling true story of the most infamous hangout for bandits, thieves and murderers of all time—and the lawmen tasked with rooting them out.Robbers Roost, Brown’s Hole, and Hole-in-the-Wall were three hideouts that collectively were known to outlaws as “Bandit Heaven.” During the 1880s and ‘90s these remote locations in Wyoming and Utah harbored hundreds of train and bank robbers, horse and cattle thieves, the occasional killer, and anyone else with a price on his head.Clavin's Bandit Heaven is the entertaining story of these tumultuous times and the colorful characters who rode the Outlaw Trail through the frigid mountain passes and throat-parching deserts that connected the three hideouts—well-guarded enclaves no sensible lawman would enter. There are the “star” residents like gregarious Butch Cassidy and his mostly silent sidekick the Sundance Kid, and an array of fascinating supporting players like the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and “Black Jack” Ketchum (who had the dubious distinction of being decapitated during a hanging), among others. Most of the hard-riding action takes place in the mid- to late-1890s when Bandit Heaven came to be one of the few safe places left as the law closed in on the dwindling number of active outlaws. Most were dead by the beginning of the 20th century, gunned down by a galvanized law-enforcement system seeking rewards and glory. Ultimately, only Cassidy and Sundance escaped . . . to meet their fate 6000 miles away, becoming legends when they died in a fusillade of lead.Bandit Heaven is a thrilling listen, filled with action, indelible characters, and some poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Social work is a vital profession dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. It encompasses a broad range of practices aimed at addressing social issues, alleviating suffering, and promoting social change. Rooted in the principles of social justice, human rights, and empowerment, social work strives to enhance the well-being of marginalized populations while fostering an equitable society. 
    
  At its core, social work is grounded in the understanding that individuals exist within the context of their environment. This ecological perspective highlights the interplay between personal, social, economic, and cultural factors that influence people’s lives. Social workers utilize this holistic approach to assess the needs and challenges faced by clients, recognizing that effective interventions must address not only the individual but also the systemic barriers that contribute to their difficulties. 
    
  Social work practice is diverse, encompassing various fields, including healthcare, mental health, child welfare, education, and community development. Each area requires specialized knowledge and skills, allowing social workers to adapt their interventions to meet the unique needs of different populations. For instance, a social worker in a school setting may focus on supporting students with behavioral challenges, while one in a healthcare facility may advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems.

  ‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLEN 
  From the acclaimed and bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy, learning and loving in our modern lives. 
  ‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’ 
  How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind? 
  Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own ‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times. 
  This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another. 
  Bate's autobiography is not just a collection of his experiences, but a study of how Shakespeare's themes have permeated through history and continue to resonate in our lives. His criticism of the tragedies and existential questions we face, and his teaching of how to navigate through them, is a top literary work that transcends the English language. 
  For fans of Stephen Greenblatt (Will In The World), and Ben Crystal (Shakespeare on Toast).
