"A quick and tightly crafted caper with endearing wit and memorable characters." -Publishers WeeklyVictoria Lord...for the prosecution.Steve Solomon...for the defense.And an ecoterrorist charged with murder.The love-hate relationship of Solomon & Lord continues. Sure, opposites attract, but they argue, too!This time, it all starts with the kidnaping of a pair of trained dolphins from Miami's Cetacean Park. When one of the ecoterrorists behind the raid turns up dead, his partner in eco-crime is charged with homicide, even though he didn't pull the trigger. It's called "felony murder," and Solomon thinks it's a bum rap. What he doesn't count on is his lover and law partner Victoria Lord being named a special prosecutor.Conflicts-of-interest abound, and Steve is up to his old tricks. At least, the mismatched legal duo agree on something...each one vows to win the case!PRAISE FOR HABEAS PORPOISE"Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord are smart and funny and sexy in a way that Hollywood movies were before comedies became crass and teen-oriented." -Connecticut Post"A 'Moonlighting' crime novel. Great fun." -Lansing State Journal"'Habeas Porpoise' keeps Levine's string of hits intact. It would be a just and wonderful thing if this fine series could continue for a long time." -Bookreporter.com"A great, fast-paced novel. If you like a little humor thrown into your legal thrillers, this one's for you." -BlogCritics.org"With Jimmy Buffet playing in the background, lying in a hammock with a cold margarita, stretch out and relax with this laugh-inducing series." -FrontStreetReviews.com

Book Description
'What's wrong with international law?' This is the question Professor A.H.A. Soons provocatively posed to his colleagues around the world when leaving his chair in public international law at Utrecht University. Meant to provoke discussion about what actually is wrong with international law as well as act in defence of the discipline, his conclusion was a resounding 'nothing!' Honouring Professor Soons's achievements throughout his long career as a scholar and a practitioner of international law, this Liber Amicorum exmaines whether, indeed, there is something wrong with international law. The contributors identify gaps or 'wrong norms' in specific fields of international law, and assess whether there is something wrong with the regulatory function of international law as a system for creating global public order.

Book Description
No other writer can blend the science of the brain with the love of language like Diane Ackerman. In this extraordinary memoir, she opens a window into the experience of wordlessness--the language paralysis called aphasia. In narrating the recovery of her husband, Paul West, from a stroke that reduced his vast vocabulary to a single syllable, she evokes the joy and mystery of the brain's ability to find and connect words. Deeply rewarding to readers of all kinds, Ackerman has given us a literary love story, accessible insight into the science and medicine of brain injury, and invaluable spiritual sustenance in the face of life's myriad physical sufferings.
