Crackstone Chronicles
Author: Bob Henneberger
Publisher: Tempt Press
ISBN: 0983011818
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Extinction is just the beginning. Do you ever wonder what's behind the whole ET phenomena? This Science Fiction trilogy, The Crackstone Chronicles, weaves the life of a Zizthanthe ambassador, John Crackstone, through three millennia and two galaxies with the lives of two Earthlings, Matt Hollinger and Sylvia Huffstedder. The Kardashev scale rates a civilization based on its level of technological advancement. Type one can use all the available power from its planet, a type two can make use of all the existing power in its solar system and a type three can utilize all the power available from multiple stars, even an entire galaxy. What would a type four, five or six civilization be like? Ambassador Crackstone, Matt and Sylvia are recruited by an advanced civilization for a outwardly simple, but in reality quite complex assignment. The three parts to the Crackstone Chronicles, Extinction, Connections, and Magical Solution will provide an adventurous ride through time and space, ending up with answers to the question: are other civilizations here on Earth, and why are they here?

The Greatest Criminal Cases
Author: J. Michael Martinez
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440828695
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This fascinating book recounts the compelling stories behind 14 of the most important criminal procedure cases in American legal history. Many constitutional protections that Americans take for granted today—the right to exclude illegally obtained evidence, the right to government-financed counsel, and the right to remain silent, among others—were not part of the original Bill of Rights, but were the result of criminal trials and judicial interpretations. The untold stories behind these cases reveal circumstances far more interesting than any legal dossier can evoke. Author J. Michael Martinez provides a brief introduction to the drama and intrigue behind 14 leading court cases in American law. This engaging text presents a short summary of high-profile legal proceedings from the late 19th century through recent times and includes key landmark cases in which the court established the parameters of probable cause for searches, the features of due process, and the legality of electronic surveillance. The work offers concise explanations and analysis of the facts as well as the lasting significance of the cases to criminal procedure.

Recreating Motherhood
Author: Barbara Katz Rothman
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 9780813528748
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Presents a woman-centered, class-sensitive way of understanding motherhood and the family in the face of scientific advances in genetics and fertility technology. Claims that the real needs of people in families have been swept aside in an attempt to reduce the complex process of human reproduction to a clinical event controlled by medical technology. Suggests ways to accomplish social and legal changes that would allow technological advances and evolving gender roles to affirm the mother-child relationship without cost to women's identities. This edition contains a new chapter on how advances in reproductive technology and genetics combine with new marketing to pose troubling social questions. Originally published in 1989 by W. W. Norton and Company. The author teaches sociology at the City University of New York. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Seven Eggs Today
Author: Jackson Webster Armstrong
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1554580684
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Offers an intriguing glimpse into the daily life of an average Toronto woman in the mid-nineteenth century. Mary Armstrong’s diaries are a window into the daily life of a middle-class woman in a new and changing land, and a revealing account of life in early Toronto just before and after confederation. Her journals are one of very few published by Canadian women, especially women outside the upper classes, in the decades surrounding the mid-nineteenth century. Mary Armstrong was the wife of a butcher / farmer who lived in what is now the Yorkville and Deer Park area of Toronto from the 1830s to the 1880s. She had immigrated with her parents and siblings from England in 1834. Her diaries, which cover five months in 1859 and eight months in 1869, reflect her multiplicity of interests and concerns including family, women’s work, faith, status and class, occupation and trade, community networks, and local and national identity. Jackson W. Armstrong’s introduction examines who Mary was, what her world was like, and how she saw her own place in it; it also explains the origin and history of the diaries. His extensive primary research supports the well-annotated diaries, and gives contextual information on the events, people, and places that Mary mentions. Seven Eggs Today offers new information and a new perspective on mid-Victorian English Canada, and will be welcomed by general readers and scholars interested in colonial life, biography, immigrant experiences, family or local history, or women’s studies.
