The Jack-Roller tells the story of Stanley, a pseudonym Clifford Shaw gave to his informant and co-author, Michael Peter Majer. Stanley was sixteen years old when Shaw met him in 1923 and had recently been released from the Illinois State Reformatory at Pontiac, after serving a one-year sentence for burglary and jack-rolling (mugging), Vivid, authentic, this is the autobiography of a delinquent—his experiences, influences, attitudes, and values. The Jack-Roller helped to establish the life-history or "own story" as an important instrument of sociological research. The book remains as relevant today to the study and treatment of juvenile delinquency and maladjustment as it was when originally published in 1930.

Google is arguably the most influential company in the world today. Just fifteen years old, it touches the lives of millions globally through the 13 billion searches on its site every month. With its finger on the pulse of the Internet, it understands its consumers more intimately than any company could hope for. The brainchild of Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google is now engaged in frontline research to push the limits of how we live -- whether it is the Google Glass, driverless cars or extending human life.
