By Kenneth Shipman
"It is likely that your views will be challenged. It is possible that you will be offended. This is not because it is my desire to offend you, but because I am going to do something that has often been linked with offensiveness: I am going to tell the truth." This book is Kenneth Shipman's wakeup call to a country asleep at the wheel. This timeless, long-overdue work of logic courageously ignores modern dogma to provide the unconventional solutions to the problems faced by society in the technology age. From crime to racism to the failure of public education to "the drug problem" and beyond, Kenneth Shipman reveals both the origins of the current problems, as well as the concise, definitive solutions as they follow from the founding principles of the United States. Unlike all other writers who aspire to address societal ills, he doesn't ask for or require your acceptance of opinions, your submission to religion or political party, your trust, or the suspension of your disbelief. In fact, your skepticism is a necessary tool to your comprehension of this elegant, revolutionary, and patriotic proof. Once you've experienced this analysis, you can never doubt the amazing practicality of our founding documents again, or the value of your own contribution to freedom.

When one reads the history of the state of Alabama, “courageous judicial decisions” appears to be an oxymoron because there have not been many such decisions. Most that did occur were related in some fashion to the racial problems that have existed in Alabama from the very beginning of statehood. It is important that we understand just what we mean when we speak of courage. Sustained courage emanates from character, which in itself takes a lifetime to build. Courage can be defined as the moral strength that permits one to face fear and difficulty. Courage requires a certain amount of leadership, and this leadership behavior is admirable and excellent. Making judicial decisions that changed ways of living in Alabama during the days of segregation required courage. These decisions could have severe consequences for one’s safety and could affect one’s family. Yet despite the potential consequences, there were at least four judges in Alabama who made decisions based on what they thought was the right thing to do and would lead Alabama in the right direction. The judges whose names come immediately to the forefront are George Stone, Thomas G. Jones, James E. Horton Jr., and Frank M. Johnson.

By Daniel Cohen
In Unhappy Anniversary, Daniel Mark Cohen hands down a devastating indictment of the Supreme Court for the immaculate failure of its obscenity jurisprudence, and the consequent corruption of American children by pornography on the Internet. Interweaving the otherwise disparate subjects of American law, modern technology, the definition of language, the meaning of sexuality, and the writings of the Founding Fathers, Cohen endeavors to break new intellectual and legal ground through the introduction of three novel propositions: (1) that pictures do not constitute a form of speech (and so pornography is not entitled to the highest protection accorded by the First Amendment); (2) that pornography constitutes a modern, albeit unacknowledged form of prostitution mediated through still-photograph, motion-picture, videotape, and digital cameras; and (3) that the prophetic words of the Founding Fathers about collective moral agency apply with utmost urgency to the people of the United States in the early twenty-first century. However most of all, Unhappy Anniversary constitutes an impassioned statement of advocacy for a forsaken constituency in this country: more than sixty million children who have been effectively abandoned by the United States Supreme Court and the American nation as a whole. Daniel Mark Cohen works as an assistant public defender in Palm Beach County, Florida.

By James Nathan Post
These forty short, intense essays are Volume One of The Anti-Cyclops Papers. Most were published as they appear as a column in The Valley Explorer, a Las Vegas independent newspaper. The Cyclopes have singleness of vision, and so lack perspective. Sons of the Titans, weaponsmakers to the Gods, workers at the forge and keepers of sheep, they dine on human flesh. They command large parts of the American government and the structure of society, and they wear the cassock of its major religions. The illicit union of Puritan sects with authoritarian statists has produced the horrors of the self-flagellating War On Drugs, and the self-righteous police-science penal-security mentality of the behavioralist child propaganda day-camps of our public school system. You can't teach an eagle to fly in a cage... especially if you are training him to be a sheep.

The right to privacy, or the right to private life, is at the heart of individual freedom and the right to be free from arbitrary government interference. The United Kingdom, although part of the European Union, has privacy issues unlike EU member states of Germany and France, for example, and yet the UK Press has much more freedom compared to the ordinary citizen. This book (published in 2007) follows on from the author's 2004 book titled Civil Liberties in England and Wales. Privacy is a contemporary topic of law and some might even say, the hottest civil liberties topic. The UK government has before Parliament The Serious Crimes Bill 2007, one part of which will attempt to establish a super police database of all UK citizens' information and another part of which will attempt to make the interrogation of business files on personnel a legal compulsion. The UK government also has The Interception Of Communication (As Evidence) Bill 2007 before parliament. It is therefore fitting that the subject of privacy is aired.

Asian American Women: Issues, Concerns, and Responsive Human and Civil Rights Advocacy reveals the struggles of Asian American women at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder where hunger, illness, homelessness, sweatshop labor, exposure to hazardous chemicals and even involuntary servitude are everyday realities. Asian American women of all socio-economic classes suffer from domestic violence whose root causes stem from the particular forms of patriarchy that exist in Asian cultures. Their health and lives are endangered due to prevalent but wrong stereotypes about Asian women. The model minority myth hides the appalling level of human and civil rights violations against Asian American women. The lack of research or the lumping together of the over 24 subgroups of Asian Americans into a homogeneous whole misleads the public as to the extent of injustices inflicted on Asian American women. The book captures their suffering and also the fighting spirit of Asian American women who have waged social and economic justice campaigns and founded organizations to right the wrongs against them. The book is a call to action to Asian Americans, policy makers, civil rights organizations and the philanthropic community to support Asian American women in their struggles to advance their social justice agenda.
