The brand new edge-of-your-seat thriller from the author of the smash hit No.1 bestseller The Woman in the Window.

Finn A: End of Story

End of Story

The 'fresh start' that is afforded individual debtors through the discharge doctrines of American bankruptcy law has, to date, defied justification by a single normative principle or theoretical paradigm. The justificatory accounts that have been advanced either fail to explain core doctrines that have long defined the right of discharge or invite theoretical challenges that suggest that their descriptive virtues are swamped by their normative or conceptual shortcomings. This book presents a taxonomy of traditional justifications of bankruptcy and subjects them to critical evaluation. It then seeks to offer a new justification of bankruptcy's 'fresh start' doctrines-one that takes its inspiration from a quite different moral tradition than those that have informed past efforts to justify and explain our enduring societal willingness to release people from onerous financial obligations. The book argues that personal debt relief is fully vindicated not by a utilitarian theory, nor by a distributive justice theory, nor by a retributive theory, nor by any other rights- or duties-based theory that is preoccupied with moral claims that particular creditors or debtors might proffer. Rather, the long-standing institution of discharge in bankruptcy is best explained by an aretaic, or virtue-based, theory that concerns itself with the obligations that the rest of us have to be charitable towards those who are unable to repay their debts. The fresh start that bankruptcy gives to those who have been shackled by overwhelming debt is justified not by its effects on creditors, debtors, or future market actors, but by its satisfaction of the demands of individual charity to which all citizens are subject. Bankruptcy's discharge of the debts of those who have become financially desperate is best thought to be an institution that aggregates others' demands of good character so as to permit citizens for whom debt-forgiveness is a personal virtue to live in a society that fulfils that virtue.

The Virtue of Bankruptcy

Debts and the Demands of Conscience

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

A riveting account of how the US criminal legal system punishes millions without conviction--asking us to rethink the freedoms we give up for the illusion of safety.Every encounter with the criminal legal system, from a traffic stop to a day in jail, carries a human cost. This cost rests on a fragile bargain at the heart of our democracy: we give the government power in exchange for protection. But how much of our liberty are we willing to surrender for the promise of safety? In Collateral Damage, attorneys Justin and Zach Brooks take readers on a devastating tour through the criminal legal system, exposing the real-life trade-offs of this false promise. Blending gripping personal stories with legal analysis, they trace the long arc of America's struggle between fear and freedom--from the Red Scare and Japanese American internment to the evolution of criminal procedure, civil forfeiture, and today's extrajudicial killings, offering pragmatic reforms along the way. The result is an eye-opening portrait of a system that punishes millions without ever sending them to prison and a powerful warning to rethink whether the balance we've struck truly reflects the values we claim to hold.

 und die diversen Verfilmungen von Marvel-Comics vorweggenommen. Vor allem große Blockbuster führen uns die herrschenden Ideologien unserer Zeit vor Augen. Doch wenn wir bloß schauen, sehen wir sie nicht.
 
 Wolfgang M. Schmitt zeigt, wie uns der Film - gerade dank seiner Künstlichkeit, der Montage, Stars und Spezialeffekte - einen anderen, mit der Brille der Fiktion geschärften Blick auf die Realität und auf uns selbst eröffnet. Sein ungewöhnlicher Ratgeber ist eine Liebeserklärung an Hollywood und zugleich ein flammendes Plädoyer für ein ideologiekritisches, kontraintuitives Sehen.

Ein junger Jazz-Pianist mit neuem Instrument im Kofferraum auf direktem Weg zu seiner Musik - und dem genau richtigen Ort für sich! So jedenfalls stellt sich Binjamin seine Reise in den Süden vor, nachdem sich sein bisheriges musikalisches Umfeld in Luft aufgelöst hat. Dass ihn diese Reise in ein südliches Land mit seiner offenen Identität konfrontiert und von Schmerzpunkt zu Schmerzpunkt führt, davon ahnt der bald 30-Jährige nichts. Auch nichts davon, dass die Aufgabe einer großen Liebe auf ihn wartet und die Lethargie des Winterschlafs. Doch Calypso ist bei ihm - und wer weiß, was das verspricht. Wenn ein Musiker in Träumen reist, zeigen sich Erlebnisse oft auch als Rhythmus, Intervall, Ton und Spannung. So wendet sich dieser Roman nicht zuletzt an alle Musikerinnen und Musiker. Und all jene, die es vielleicht gerne geworden wären.

Das Ende der Träume ist aller Anfang

Just One Look At You

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 Protection of the Environment 97-99, Revised as of July 1, 2025

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.
