Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers.Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed......especially when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult...

"A lawmaker's primary concern is to be re-elected. Base your lobbying strategy on this simple reality, and you can win animal protection laws that are now only fantasies." Julie Lewin, NIFAA President & Trainer If you want laws and public policies to prevent companion animal overpopulation and laws against hunting and trapping, dogfighting, puppy mills, dog chaining, pet stores, circuses, rodeo, dog and horse racing, factory farming and animal research...and want them enforced...and want to elect humane lawmakers...and want to lobby for animals and have it count... The key to your success is political action. Despite the tremendous strides in public awareness over the last decade, laws and ordinances for the protection of animals remain tragically weak. The reason is shockingly simple: Animal advocates do not function politically. NIFAA was founded in 2002 to fill a critical void in the animal rescue and rights movements. To win the strong state and local laws we so much want and that the animals so desperately need, we must become "political animals." Being political means launching voting blocs in our town, city, county or state; that is, organizing politically and endorsing candidates. As all other grassroots issue groups know, when it comes to the lawmaking arena, there is no substitute for the leverage of endorsements. (Lobbying for a charitable organization and sending legislative alerts only nibble at the fringes of political power.) It's not at all hard. A few advocates can make it happen. It simply requires a refocusing, rejecting our old way of thinking and assumptions, and embracing these truths. NIFAA will show you how!

"Dark, deeply ironic, and full of character gems that will appeal to your cynical side, Before They Are Hanged is as brilliant as its predecessor."-SFRevu As war threatens to descend on all sides, the Kingdom of the Union-once glorious, now weak and corrupt-must depend for its security upon three very different men, unlikely saviors whose abilities and characters are shaky at best...and at worst, unknown. Superior Glokta's problem? How to defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled by traitors, when your allies cannot be trusted, your predecessor vanished without a trace...and you can't even walk without a stick. Prince Ladisla's concern? How to achieve undying glory driving the barbarous Northmen out of Angland while commanding the worst-armed, worst-trained-and worst-led-army in the world. And the dilemma of Bayaz, First of the Magi? How to conduct a mission through the ruins of the past with the most hated woman in the South, the most feared man in the North, and the most selfish boy in the Union at each others' throats. Despite their best-and worst-efforts, ancient secrets will be uncovered, bloody battles won and lost, and bitter enemies forgiven...but not before they are hanged.

A professor of law recounts his conversations about the legal profession with lawyers in downtown Manhattan, from a corporate attorney who denounces all lawyers as pathological to a woman judge who testifies to rage and lust on the bench

Superior Glokta has a problem. How do you defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when your allies can by no means be trusted, and your predecessor vanished without a trace? It’s enough to make a torturer want to run – if he could even walk without a stick. Northmen have spilled over the border of Angland and are spreading fire and death across the frozen country. Crown Prince Ladisla is poised to drive them back and win undying glory. There is only one problem—he commands the worst-armed, worst-trained, worst-led army in the world. And Bayaz, the First of the Magi, is leading a party of bold adventurers on a perilous mission through the ruins of the past. The most hated woman in the South, the most feared man in the North, and the most selfish boy in the Union make a strange alliance, but a deadly one. They might even stand a chance of saving mankind from the Eaters—if they didn’t hate each other quite so much. Ancient secrets will be uncovered. Bloody battles will be won and lost. Bitter enemies will be forgiven—but not before they are hanged.

Even though many Jews believe that Paul taught against the Law, this book disproves that notion. Most Christians are disconnected from the Torah; reading this book will reconnect them. Dr. Friedman Makes an excellent case. 144 pages

Bolivar Peninsula, at the entry into Galveston Bay, attracted a colorful parade of characters including pirates, military adventurers, smugglers, settlers and oil drillers. In isolated environs everybody did what they wanted, and for years there was only one sheriff who never arrested a soul except a girl who refused to dance with him. Old-timers add their escapades to the narration.

A history of judicial greatness, perfect for readers of any background! Any effort to understand how law works has to take seriously its main players - judges. Like any performance, judging should be evaluated by reference to those who are its best exponents. Not surprisingly, the debate about what makes a 'great judge' is as heated and inconclusive as the debate about the purpose and nature of law itself. History shows that those who are generally considered to be candidates for a judicial hall of fame are game changers who oblige us to rethink what it is to be a good judge. So the best of judges must tread a thin line between modesty and hubris; they must be neither mere umpires nor demigods. The eight judges showcased in this book demonstrate that, if the test of good judging is not about getting it right, but doing it well, then the measure of great judging is about setting new standards for what counts as judging well.

Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. It's bloody and dangerous and the Union army, split by politics and hamstrung by incompetence, is utterly unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. Lacking experience, training, and in some cases even weapons the army is scarcely equipped to repel Bethod's scouts, let alone the cream of his forces. In the heat-ravaged south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land ...but a plot is festering to hand the city to its beseigers without a fight, and the previous Inquisitor of Dagoska vanished without trace. Threatened from within and without the city, Glokta needs answers, and he needs them soon. And to the east a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history - a Seed, hidden for generations - with tremendous destructive potential. A device which could put a end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North - but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled ...

It's Perry Mason-meets-Billy Joel in this account of the most famous lawsuits in rock history. They Fought the Law traces the difficulties rockers have faced dealing with bad contracts, personnel problems, litigious fans, and crooked managers and accountants. While it's the music that counts, the music-makers are often robbed of their rightful share of the profits that the music creates - and may spend decades sorting out ill-considered contracts signed in the heat of their early careers. This book pulls back the veil on the often shady business practices that characterize the rock world - and shows how some courageous artists have fought the system and won. Based on firsthand accounts, interviews with the participants, and detailed study of court records and documents, Stan Soocher brings new light to the often tangled legal problems faced by rock artists. In doing so, he shows another - less-glamorous - side of the rock business.
