Summary

The 'History of the Civil Rights Legislation' anthology offers a multifaceted exploration of transformative legislative acts pivotal in shaping American society. Through an array of persuasive legal documents, poignant court decisions, and penetrating legislative discussions, this collection surveys the profound shifts in civil rights from colonial times to the modern era. The anthology underscores diverse interpretations and approaches within the legal framework, founded on historical challenges and victories—a gripping demonstration of how statutes have been both reflective of and instrumental in the country's socio-political evolution. Standout pieces in the volume trace landmark Supreme Court decisions and pivotal congressional debates, offering readers a panoramic view of the legal landscape. The authors, comprising entities such as the U.S. Government, U.S. Supreme Court, and U.S. Congress, bring a formidable array of official perspectives, embedding the anthology deep within the nation's legislative and judicial heart. Collectively, these bodies have spearheaded, debated, and penned the most significant legal frameworks impacting civil rights, aligning with movements from abolitionism to the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Their documented interactions and decisions provide invaluable insights into the machinations of legal and societal reform, reflecting both conflict and consensus that shaped America's narrative on equality and justice. 'Reading 'History of the Civil Rights Legislation' offers an exclusive glimpse into the complex dialogue between America's chief legal institutions over centuries. For students of law, history, and politics, this compilation isn't just informative but a compelling invitation to dissect the layers of legal discourses that have aimed to secure civil rights progressively. It's an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the depth and breadth of civil rights legislation and its critical role in sculpting modern American society.

    I've always thought of myself as a fan more than a writer. Never in a million years did I imagine that I'd ever get my fiction published, let alone have all of my books become New York Times bestsellers. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I published my first short story, The Girl in the Yellow Bikini. It was released in 1974 in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine. In mid-2002, it was re-printed as a booklet and shrink-wrapped to the French edition of Elle fashion magazine. I hope both new and old fans will enjoy it!

    Mary Poppins is a story of taking practical steps towards happiness. It’s looking at the bright side of life. It’s setting boundaries, deciding what you want and making it happen. That’s the path to being Practically Perfect 
For comedian Katy Brand, part of the joy of watching Mary Poppins as a child was the thrill of the film’s iconic, no-nonsense heroine. Her unshakeable confidence, her staunch independence, and that touch of magic. Now she’s all grown up, Katy takes another look beyond the talking umbrellas, bottomless bags and dubious cockney accents to show that Mary’s still got something to teach us. 
She explores how the beloved nanny was brought to life from the page to the big screen, and delves into her most striking memories to uncover themes that are still as important now as they were at the time, from women’s rights and poverty, to toxic masculinity and work-life balance. 
With interviews and insights from famous fans and friends, Practically Perfect is the common-sense manual for life that we never knew we needed, and sprinkles some supercalifragilistic magic along the way. 
In this best-selling autobiography, Katy Brand explores her personal relationship with Mary Poppins, a character that has influenced various stages of her life. With a touch of humour, she delves into topics such as women's rights, poverty, toxic masculinity, and work-life balance, making this book a top choice for those interested in memoirs that offer more than just a personal story. 
For fans of Sarah Millican (How to be Champion), Emma Forrest (Busy Being Free), Lauren Bravo (What Would the Spice Girls Do?), Randall Munroe (What If?), and David Jason (A Del of a Life).

    High Price is the harrowing and inspiring memoir of neuroscientist Carl Hart, a man who grew up in one of Miami’s toughest neighborhoods and, determined to make a difference as an adult, tirelessly applies his scientific training to help save real lives. Young Carl didn't see the value of school, studying just enough to keep him on the basketball team. Today, he is a cutting-edge neuroscientist—Columbia University’s first tenured African American professor in the sciences—whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction.In this provocative and eye-opening memoir, Dr. Carl Hart recalls his journey of self-discovery, how he escaped a life of crime and drugs and avoided becoming one of the crack addicts he now studies. Interweaving past and present, Hart goes beyond the hype as he examines the relationship between drugs and pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs, and explain why current policies are failing.
