A Brazilian female jogger is found murdered in Central Park. The police investigation is stymied by a lack of evidence and is going nowhere. Enter Mike Breza, private detective and bartender at the White Horse Tavern. Hired to lend a hand by the murdered woman’s boyfriend, who also happens to be his brother, Mike finds himself paired up with a friend of the victim’s family, Anjo Denovo, as he begins his investigation.

An impassioned call to arms for Democrats to embrace the principles that made the party and the country great—a true moral vision for leadership at home and abroad In this powerful and provocative manifesto, a cri de coeur for Democrats who have grown increasingly frustrated with their party's leaders, former senator Gary Hart takes the Democrats to task for choosing caution and calculation in place of moral principles. That path, Hart says, will lead only to sorrow—for the party and for the country. The Courage of Our Convictions is Hart's call to action—a clear-eyed and plainspoken manifesto that urges a return to the principles bequeathed to the party by its great twentieth-century presidents: Franklin D. Roosevelt's commitment to a single national community, where no American would be left behind; Harry S. Truman's internationalism, which preserved democracy after World War II and led eventually to the defeat of communism; John F. Kennedy's ideal of civic duty and service to the nation; and Lyndon B. Johnson's insistence on equality for all our citizens. As the midterm elections approach—and with the 2008 presidential election just over the horizon—Hart speaks directly and passionately to the many Democrats who seek a principled change of leadership in Washington. It is the wake-up call that so many Americans have been waiting for.

Body and Mind—The Effects of Money Problems is the third book in a series about the psychology of money by Dr. Christopher Bayer, the Wall Street Psychologist. This volume advances readers into an examination of the effect of money problems on the body and mind. It presents research that supports solutions offered throughout the series to fix maladjustments of the mind and highlights the importance of developing a sound grasp of the mind-body connection to ensure there is an unbreakable bond at all levels. Strategies for developing stress-free solutions for avoiding depression, in addition to detailed data that point to high recovery rates from depression, offer readers practical, tangible tools for managing real-life, money problems. Pointers on how to avoid The Triggers That Produce Multiple Wounds play a critical role in helping readers to equip their gyroscope (internal compass) to cope with stress. Money-strewn professions, such as finance, are littered with those who want it all—many of them high-functioning addicts to stress, alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, and the accumulation of money in its pure state. This book offers plenty of stories of excess and closes with a meaningful invitation to the reader: Envision Your Own Eden and the Good Life—words of encouragement to help them consider how much money is enough.

In the aftermath of 9/11, few questioned the political narrative provided by the White House about Guantánamo and the steady stream of prisoners delivered there from half a world away. The Bush administration gave various rationales for the detention of the prisoners captured in the War on Terror: they represented extraordinary threats to the American people, possessed valuable enemy intelligence, and were awaiting prosecution for terrorism or war crimes. Both explicitly and implicitly, journalists, pundits, lawyers, academics, and even released prisoners who authored books about the island prison endorsed elements of the official narrative. In Selling Guantánamo, John Hickman exposes the holes in this manufactured story. He shines a spotlight on the critical actors, including Rumsfeld, Cheney, and President Bush himself, and examines how the facts belie the “official” accounts. He chastises the apologists and the critics of the administration, arguing that both failed to see the forest for the trees.

He is the law - and you better believe it! Judge, jury and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarised policing and ‘law and order’ politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humour acting as a prophetic warning about our world today - and with important lessons for our future. Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key Dredd stories from the last 45 years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. From the politicisation of policing to ‘zero tolerance’, from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's 'law and order' politics.

Todays world is no more inoculated from dangerous political ideologies than it was in the past: while former communist countries have become full fledged democracies, some flagship democracies have been slowly gravitating towards leftist ideals. Lefty's Playbook asserts that this leftward gravitation is no accident, but a well choreographed plan. Lefty's Playbook lays out this plan in a format written to reach all levels of political education: as a primer for those who are unaware, as a confirmation for those who are suspect, and as a reminder for those who understand what lies behind the veil of leftist ideology.
