  "At the end of the Trail of Tears there was a promise," United States Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the decision issued in the case of McGirt v. Oklahoma. And that promise, made in treaties between the United States and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation more than 150 years earlier, would finally be kept. With the Court's ruling, the full extent of the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation was reaffirmed—meaning that 3.25 million acres of land in Oklahoma were recognized as "Indian Country." A Promise Kept explores the circumstances and implications of McGirt v. Oklahoma, likely the most significant Indian law case in well over a hundred years. Combining legal analysis and historical context, this book gives an in-depth, accessible account of how the case unfolded and what it might mean for Oklahomans, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and other tribes throughout the United States. 
   
   
   
  Robbie Ethridge traces the history of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from its inception to its resurgence in Oklahoma in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Robert J. Miller considers McGirt v. Oklahoma, examining important related cases, precedents that informed the Court's decision, and future ramifications. Their work clarifies the stakes of a decision that, while long overdue, raises numerous complex issues profoundly affecting federal, state, and tribal relations and law.

  Justice in the Age of Judgment -...

  When unscrupulous Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a murder she didn’t commit, family and friends turned to Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win her freedom. The case was dubbed the “trial of the decade” and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice. Bremner takes us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her expert insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way. Why couldn’t prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole? Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd? Justice in the Age of Judgement is Bremner’s unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion.

  Pathology - The Study of Disease...

  Pathology is the foundation of medical science, providing crucial insights into the mechanisms of disease, their effects on the body, and potential treatment strategies. It is a field that bridges basic science with clinical practice, helping medical professionals diagnose, prevent, and treat illnesses. Understanding pathology is essential for anyone studying medicine, biology, or healthcare, as it explains how normal biological processes are disrupted by disease.  
    
  At its core, pathology examines the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues, and organs due to disease. These changes can be caused by a wide range of factors, including genetic mutations, infections, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices. By studying these alterations, pathologists can determine the underlying cause of illness and help guide treatment decisions. From the cellular level to entire organ systems, pathology provides a comprehensive approach to understanding human health.  
    
  One of the key concepts in pathology is the body’s response to injury. Cells and tissues have remarkable mechanisms for adapting to stress, but when the damage exceeds their ability to repair, disease occurs. Cellular responses to injury can range from simple adaptations, such as an increase in cell size, to irreversible damage leading to cell death. The study of these responses is crucial in understanding conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
