The true, heartbreaking story of three neglected brothers. Can they remain together or will they be torn apart?

My Brother's Secret

Strange Things Are Happening

Glenn C. Loury is often radically opposed to the political mainstream and delights in upending what's expected of a Black public figure. But more than the arguments themselves-on affirmative action, institutional racism, Trumpism-his public life has been characterised by fearlessness and a willingness to recalibrate strongly held and forcefully argued beliefs.
Loury grew up on the south side of Chicago, earned a PhD in MIT's economics programme and became the first Black tenured professor of economics at Harvard at the age of thirty-three. He has been, at turns, a young father, a drug addict, an adulterer, a psychiatric patient, a born-again Christian, a lapsed born-again Christian and a Black Reaganite. In Late Admissions, Loury examines what it means to chart a sense of self over the course of a tempestuous but well-considered, life.

Confessions of a Black Conservative

Late Admissions

A curious exploration of mortality, alienation, boredom, surveillance and how we regard ourselves among the animals.Animal Stories&nbsp;begins with Kate Zambreno's visit to the monkey house at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where one stark tree 'seems to be the stage design for a simian production of Waiting for Godot'. But who are the players and who is the audience, and can they recognise each other?What follows is a series of reports from the deep strangeness of the zoo, a space that is 'more often than not deeply sad, an odd choice for regular pilgrimages of fun'. Amid these excursions with their young children, Zambreno turns to Garry Winogrand's photographs and John Berger's writings on animals, reshaping the spectator as the subject to decipher our complex 'zoo feelings' - what we project, and what we refuse to see. In 'My Kafka System', which dovetails with these zoo studies, Zambreno thinks through the notebooks and animal stories of a writer known for playing at the threshold between species, continuing their investigation into the false divide between human and animal.In writing that is inquisitive and inventive, Zambreno renders visible the enclosures we construct and those we occupy ourselves.

History in 15

Taking fifteen real-life criminal cases prosecuted at the High Court of Justiciary in Scotland between 1700 and 2000, this book explores developments in social attitudes and legal responses to violence. From the last execution for witchcraft to the first prosecution for marital rape, as well as cases of murder, poisoning and infanticide, Scottish History in 15 Violent Crimes examines aspects of masculinity, female agency, emancipation and tolerance. Using these cases to explore how society has and does perceive different violent crimes, the role of gender, attitudes towards homosexuality, fear of 'the other' and attitudes to capital punishment, Heren compares Scottish examples to others in England and Europe to identify similarities and differences, and to contribute to ongoing debates about gender, crime and the law. Charting the social and legal developments that emerged in response to violent crime, this book asks why people commit such crimes, who they and their victims were, and how far we have really progressed in our attitudes towards and treatment of violence.
