From Colonies to Country

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hakim, Joy, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, How did compliant colonials with strong ties to Europe get the notion to become an independent nation? Perhaps the seeds of liberty were planted in the historic courtroom battle for the freedom of the press. Or maybe the French and Indian War did it, when colonists were called "Americans" for the first time by the English, and the great English army proved itself not so formidable after all. But for sure when King George III started levying some heavy-handed taxes on the colonies, the break from the motherland was imminent. With such enthralling characters as George Washington, Sam Adams, Patrick Henry, Eliza Pinckney, and Alexander Hamilton throughout, From Colonies to Country is an amazing story of a nation-making transformation.

Plain Truth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Picoult, Jodi, PUBLISHER: Washington Square Press, "A shocking murder shatters the picturesque calm of Pennsylvania's Amish country -- and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer who steps in to defend the young woman at the center of the storm...." "Plain Truth" The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: circumstantial evidence suggests that eighteen-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide -- and, for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain," Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within -- to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life. Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, "Plain Truth" is a fascinating portrait of Amish life -- and a moving exploration of the bonds of love, friendship, and the heart's most complex choices.

The Daily Globe: Environmental Change, the Public and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Joe / Joe Smith, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, have enormous implications for economic, social and environmental security. Yet the significance of these issues is not reflected in media reporting. A few visually strong stories of conflicts, or threats to charismatic species or beautiful places, such as those of the Brent Spar or the Exxon Valdez, make the headlines. However, the media's appetite for novelty, personality and drama stands in the way of effective reporting of slowly unfolding stories that are fraught with uncertainty. Clearly, journalists and reporters face difficulty in portraying the complex interplay between science, policy and values that underlies many of these issues. But, equally, there is reluctance on the part of the academic and policy communities to adapt themselves to the needs and methods of the media. The Daily Globe represents the state of knowledge about media treatment and public understanding of key environmental issues around the world, incorporating a wealth of expertise and insight from distinguished journalists, politicians, researchers and environmentalists. The book offers practical examples of successful new forms of collaboration and communication and lays the foundation for effective future strategies aimed at informing public debate on the choices and challenges presented by global environmental change.
