Bojack Horseman meets Joan Didion in this smart, sly, and irresistibly stylish debut novel about a jaded movie star and…
the two differently conflicted women in his orbit.Some people you meet them and you imagine this movie together. The two of you make a kind of movie and then it’s over. Other people, what you imagine isn’t a movie, because it keeps going. It’s television . . . If you can’t see how romantic television is, you’re blind.An aging, A-list movie star lotteries off the entirety of his mega-million blockbuster salary to a member of the general viewing public before taking up with a much younger model. His non-famous best friend (and often lover) looks on impassively, while recollecting their twenty-odd years of unlikely connection. And an aspiring filmmaker, unknown to them both, labors over a script about best friends and lovers while longing for the financial freedom to make great art.Told in their alternating, intricately linked perspectives, Television is a funny, philosophically astute novel about phenomenal luck, whether windfall or chance encounter. Like Joan Didion’s classic Play It as It Lays, but speaking to a since irrevocably changed Hollywood, it portrays a culture in crisis and the disparities in wealth, beauty, talent, gender, and youth at the heart of contemporary American life. In this glittering but strange new world, lit up by social media and streaming services—what, if not love, can be counted in your favor?With plays in chronology, bright, nimble dialogue, and a profoundly modern style, Lauren Rothery’s debut novel is an arresting feat of literary impressionism, and marks the arrival of a significant new talent to the landscape of American fiction.

This book examines the establishment, operation, and legacy of Poland’s special post-war court created to prosecute leading German war criminals.…
Between 1946 and 1948, it conducted seven seminal landmark trials involving 49 defendants, including notorious figures such as Arthur Greiser, Amon Goeth, Rudolf Hoess, and members of the Auschwitz staff. The Tribunal aimed to foreground the Polish experience within the international discourse on post-war justice, offering a judicial account of the suffering endured under Nazi occupation. Simultaneously, it illuminated the singularity of the Jewish tragedy, with some proceedings arguably constituting the earliest Holocaust trials. This monograph situates the Tribunal within the broader context of international criminal justice, with the Nuremberg Trial as its central reference point. Interwoven at multiple levels, these proceedings reflect a complex tapestry of legal responses to mass atrocity. Despite operating under the growing pressures of Stalinisation, the Tribunal retained a notable degree of independence and upheld elements of fair trial standards – rooted in the legal traditions of interwar Poland. Its jurisprudence may be considered an early contribution to the evolution of international criminal law, offering a distinct national perspective on international crimes within the wider legal and historical framework. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal History, International and Criminal Law, History, Genocide Studies and Holocaust Research, International Relations, Criminology and Criminal Justice, War Crimes Trials, and Slavic and Eastern European Studies.

In the tradition of Matthew Desmond's Evicted, a longtime housing activist presents a vivid and myth-breaking account of why homelessness…
endures in contemporary America...Millions of people are affected by homelessness, but media pundits and politicians see homelessness as a social work problem, or a matter of personal pathology, or some peculiar subspecies of urban poverty.Informed by the author&’s own front-line experiences from more than two decades working as an advocate for homeless people in New York City and his work with housing activists across the country. Placeless: Homelessness in the New Gilded Age presents an alternative and innovative, wide-angle view of homelessness and displacement in New York and elsewhere.A tour of the geography of homelessness in New York City, where some 100,000 people a night sleep in the city&’s shelter system, Markee visits certain city landmarks where homeless New Yorkers struggle to survive:armories once built to quarter militias who put down worker uprisings a train tunnel underneath Riverside Parka grim intake center where infants, children, and families were forced to sleep on office floorsa former psychiatric wing of Bellevue Hospital now sheltering hundreds of homeless men each nighta Manhattan park surrounded by luxury condos where the police routinely harassed homeless street-dwellersBlending historical analysis, urban theory, and the latest policy research, Markee considers homelessness in America as a tragic yet inevitable consequence of economic shifts inaugurated in the Reagan era, worsening inequality and housing affordability, systemic racism, and neoliberal government policies.At a moment where tabloids and politicians use homelessness as an excuse to whip up fear, Placeless is a powerful and moving account of a social problem whose solution is entirely possible.

An instant New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick from beloved author Alice Hoffman—the spellbinding prequel to…
Practical Magic.Find your magic. For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man. Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people&’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk. From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Yet, the children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the memorable aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy. Alice Hoffman delivers &“fairy-tale promise with real-life struggle&” (The New York Times Book Review) in a story how the only remedy for being human is to be true to yourself. Thrilling and exquisite, real and fantastical, The Rules of Magic is &“irresistible…the kind of book you race through, then pause at the last forty pages, savoring your final moments with the characters&” (USA TODAY, 4/4 stars).

The massacre of Israelis by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, was the most dreadful slaughter inflicted upon the Jews…
since the Nazi Holocaust. In the immediate aftermath, Israel found itself fighting an existential war on seven fronts. The Western world might have been expected to rally behind Israel – the only liberal representative democracy in the Middle East. However, progressive public opinion in the West, in academia and among student bodies, the left of centre press, radio, and TV, all turned upon Israel in a tidal wave of anti-Zionism. Israel was itself accused of genocide and crimes against humanity. This was a modern form of medieval antisemitic blood libels. What was distinctive about this novel transmutation of antisemitism was that it was left-wing, post-modernist, neo-Marxist. It was the denial of the very legitimacy of the State of Israel. Hacker offers illuminating explanations of this puzzling phenomenon. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court both condemned Israel for violations of international law – decisions that were demonstrably biassed and illicit. Hacker’s meticulously researched discussion unravels the history of the Israel/Palestinian conflict, describes the successive Israeli offers of a Palestinian state on the West Bank that were rejected by corrupt Palestinian leaders who betrayed their own people, tells the sorry history of the Gaza Strip and the death-cult ideology of its elected Hamas rulers, analyses the commonly misunderstood requirements of international law, scrutinizes the pivotal role of the Iranian theocratic state in the war, and probes beneath the glib demand for recognition of a Palestinian state. This book will appeal to those interested in the Hamas massacre, the Gaza war, the Israel/Hezbollah war, and Iran/Israel war, antisemitism and its history, anti-Zionism and left-wing intellectuals in the West.

On July 15, 2018, in Washington, DC, a young Russian woman named Maria Butina was arrested by the FBI and…
charged with acting as a foreign agent. Branded a &“red sparrow,&” trained seductress, and Kremlin spook, Butina faced years in prison and a lifetime of infamy. Meanwhile, down Pennsylvania Avenue, Midwesterner Alfred Carry was a rising star in the pro bono world after a win before the DC Court of Appeals. But before he could settle into a new position in private practice, Carry would find himself representing the only Russian arrested for crimes against the American people during the 2016 election. Diving in to protect Butina from the onslaught of the government&’s case, the Twitterverse accused Carry of treason. Partners demanded he drop the case. Friends and family worried that he was ruining his career before it had even started. Yet this was only the beginning of a case that would transform Carry&’s life and his understanding of American society. A Russian nesting doll of two-time con men, charming billionaires, sniping media figures, CIA back channels, and clandestine operatives, In Wolf&’s Clothing: My Story Representing Maria Butina, the Most Famous Woman in Moscow is the first-person account of how a young attorney is thrust into the public eye to defend a woman accused of attacking the country he loves. With the taut storytelling of a spy thriller, the inside baseball of legal nonfiction, and the social insight of a criminal justice exposé, at its core, this is a true and honest account of a young woman swept up in the criminal justice system and the young lawyer sworn to defend her.

In a modern global historical context, scholars have often regarded piracy as an essentially European concept which was inappropriately applied…
by the expanding European powers to the rest of the world, mainly for the purpose of furthering colonial forms of domination in the economic, political, military, legal and cultural spheres. By contrast, this edited volume highlights the relevance of both European and non-European understandings of piracy to the development of global maritime security and freedom of navigation. It explores the significance of ‘legal posturing’ on the part of those accused of piracy, as well as the existence of non-European laws and regulations regarding piracy and related forms of maritime violence in the early modern era. The authors in Piracy in World History highlight cases from various parts of the early-modern world, thereby explaining piracy as a global phenomenon.
