Acharya D: Laws Governing LGBTQ+ Rights
in the United States of America and Cana

Laws Governing LGBTQ+ Rights in the United States of America and Canada. An Analysis with Comparison

There is no meant to be but the love I've known has made it hard to believe that An inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh about AN OBSERVER NON-FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 'A wild ride' JON McGREGOR 'Raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient' SARAH HALL 'The most beautiful and truthful song to the pain present in a good life' EVIE WYLD Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. In There Is No Meant to Be he unearths the legends, secrets and scars that have shaped his family line from his outlaw Irish ancestors to his mother Momo's gift of foresight, and the ghosts - both real and remembered - that follow him into adulthood. Two decades on from the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, McGinnis is married and the father of two girls, living first in East London and now Marseille. He writes about love within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability. In a daring imaginative leap, he writes of the end of life too, reaching beyond his own death to look at what truly makes a life. 'Caustic, hilarious, unflinchingly honest and so captivatingly humane, I couldn't put this book down' JAN CARSON 'In a world teetering on madness, here is an ode to truth, courage, and the beautiful power of vulnerability' ELAINE FEENEY 'A multi-layered, many-textured masterpiece' CHARLIE GILMOUR

Firewatch

Eine vielschichtige Graphic Novel-Biografie über Identität, Kunstfreiheit und eine Ikone der queeren Geschichte 
 Dichter, Dramatiker, Dandy: Oscar Wilde war eine der schillerndsten Figuren des späten 19. Jahrhunderts - gefeiert für seinen Witz, seine messerscharfen Dialoge und seine Brillanz, verfolgt für seine Andersartigkeit. Diese Graphic Novel wirft einen Blick hinter die Fassade und erzählt die Lebensgeschichte eines Schriftstellers, dessen wahres Ich sich oft hinter Ironie, Provokation und ästhetischer Überhöhung verbarg. 
 Im Mittelpunkt stehen nicht allein Wildes literarische Werke wie Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray oder Die Wichtigkeit, ernst zu sein, sondern seine Beziehungen, Leidenschaften und inneren Konflikte. Seine Liebe, sein Begehren und seine Weigerung, sich gesellschaftlichen Normen zu unterwerfen, machen ihn zur Zielscheibe eines repressiven Systems - mit tragischen Konsequenzen. 
 Diese eindrucksvolle Graphic Novel beleuchtet zentrale Themen wie Schönheitsideale, Rollenbilder, Männlichkeit und die politische Unterdrückung sexueller Minderheiten. Mit emotionaler Tiefe und historischer Sensibilität zeichnet sie das Porträt eines Mannes, der heute als Ikone der LGBTQ+-Community gilt - und dessen Geschichte aktueller ist denn je. 
 Eine moderne Comic-Biografie über Selbstbestimmung, Anpassung und den hohen Preis, den es kosten kann, man selbst zu sein.

Das bewegte Leben des legendären Autors von Dorian Gray als Graphic Novel

Oscar Wilde – die Comic-Biografie

The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was as ambitious as it was contentious - and few policy areas illustrate this as well as gun control, an area which, since 2019, has seen the implementation of significant new laws: the freezing of handgun sales, the prohibition of a long list of 'assault-style' rifles, and the creation of what critics have labelled a "back door" gun registry. But have these changes made Canadians safer? What can they tell us about gun control policy, or public policy more broadly? In Off Target, Noah S. Schwartz evaluates these new laws, drawing on interviews with law enforcement, community workers and key stakeholders, as well as publicly available data and scholarship. Finding little evidence that these policies have made Canadians safer, Schwartz documents the harm that they have done to businesses, leisure communities and individuals across Canada. He argues that rather than enforcing strict gun laws, policymakers will get more bang for their buck investing resources in less glamorous but more effective tools like community policing and violence interruption programs. These programs tackle the root causes of crime while providing support and employment to the communities suffering the most from gun violence.

Off Target

Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory

This book challenges the near-universal acceptance of a US-style, Western constitutional paradigm as the best basis for comparative constitutional studies. It does so on three main grounds: anachronism, 'othering' and cultural specificity. Main pillars of 'convergent constitutional theory' are rooted in the revolutionary, late-eighteenth century - a lost world; constitutional arrangements that deviate from the paradigm are often branded as 'outliers' or even as not constitutional at all; and the foundations of the paradigm in liberal democracy give no space for other forms of constitutionalism. Whatever the attractions of convergent theory as a normative ideal of good government, for the purposes of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutional systems it is far from ideal. This book discusses and questions: convergent theory's weddedness to writing as the technology of constitution-making; its image of a constitution as fundamental law; its idea that a constitution expresses the 'sovereignty of the people'; its use of tripartite separation of powers as the basic principle of institutional design; its relative neglect of administrative law; its association of 'rights' with judicially enforceable bills of rights; and its obsession with a vaguely specified concept of 'democracy'. It makes suggestions for alternative, preferable methods of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutions, and governmental and constitutional systems.

The Distorting Lens of Convergent Constitutional Theory

A painter. A priest. One hot New York summer. 'A genuinely swoony summer romance' New York Times 'Brilliant' Raven Leilani 'Stunning' Observer Wyeth is a newcomer to New York, a young Black painter who is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. He shares a studio with his friends and earns money working for a gallery and an art restorer but he's struggling with his portrait painting, unable to truly capture the life of his subjects. Then he meets Keating, a white former priest struggling with his faith. The two men seemingly have nothing in common, and yet Keating shows Wyeth how to see the world anew. But as the men grow closer, the differences between them become more stark, until Wyeth and Keating must decide what they are willing to risk - for art and for love. 'One of the most perfect books I've ever read' NPR 'A piercing, precise, and affecting tale of young love and high art' Kirkus 'One of the most accomplished, important novelists of his generation' Guardian 'Brandon Taylor is without a doubt our laureate of hyper-intelligent yearning - nobody does it better' Lit Hub

'Audacious and instantly gripping . . . Whidbey is deeply satisfying' Catherine Chidgey, New York Times 'There is, to put it simply, no book quite like Whidbey' Vogue 'In the realm of Patricia Highsmith and Gone Girl' Chelsea Bieker 'A masterpiece' Carmen Maria Machado ---- You want to know who did it, but that was never the question. Or, it was never the right one. Birdie Chang doesn't know much about Whidbey Island, only that it is far. On the ferry, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger, where she finds herself telling him everything: how she was sexually abused as a child, how the perpetrator now walks free, how the calls and emails from him haven't stopped and she is on the run; how she wants to kill him. The stranger poses a shocking question - if she agrees, he will murder the man who hurt her, with no strings attached. She gives him a name. On the other side of the country, Mary-Beth receives a phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered. What follows is a complex story of three women connected through one man: Birdie, a woman on the run from her past and her abuser; Mary-Beth, the abuser's loving mother; and Linzie, a former reality star turned bestselling memoirist, and another victim of the same man. Whidbey is a brilliant reimagining of the whodunnit - a searing, propulsive novel that asks who has real power over a story: the one who lives it, or the one who tells it? Women are rarely in receipt of what they are owed.

'In the realm of Patricia Highsmith and Gone Girl' (Chelsea Bieker)

Whidbey

A former public defender takes us behind the closed doors of America's criminal courts, revealing how the institutions that claim to protect us are doing the exact opposite—and offering a blueprint for finally fixing it. “A searing, compassionate, and utterly necessary book that pulls back the curtain with the clarity of a lawyer and the heart of someone who’s seen the criminal legal system’s devastating consequences up close.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow As Americans, we are told a rose-tinted story about our criminal courts—that these are the hallowed halls of justice, that the purpose of our legal process is to find the truth, and that those who enforce the law are both equitable and heroic. But what if the reality is purposefully obscured to hide something rotten at the system’s core? In The Price of Mercy, attorney and former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza weaves hard data and unforgettable stories, dark humor and compelling evidence to tell us the truth about what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s criminal courts. She shows us how jails actually increase future crime, the dirty tricks police use to make millions in overtime pay, how a man could spend decades in prison because scientists mistook dog hair for his own, the perverse incentives that push prosecutors to seek convictions even when they themselves don’t want to, and how judges may decide cases differently after lunch. We’ll learn what’s working, too: how public defenders can improve public health and even economic mobility, and how planting more trees can reduce a neighborhood’s murder rates. But a lone defender winning a case won’t change the system. Galvin Almanza argues that we need an engaged public to confront the stark reality of our crime-generating, poverty-entrenching, health-destroying legal apparatus and rebuild it into something that can save our collective present and prevent our future from being torn apart. Provocative and eye-opening, The Price of Mercy lifts the curtain on the way our laws really operate and presents a path forward for true transformation of the American criminal court system. Justice, and the law itself, is not some static thing. It is something enacted together, decision by decision, in acts of inhumanity or mercy.

And can Natalie uncover the truth, before it's too late?
