Lives of Lawyers
A rare glimpse at the real-life workings of five legal organizations and how they are daily redefining the contemporary "law of lawyering"
The University
The twenty-first century is lurching chaotically into a perilous and uncertain future. Once vibrant and creative, the University—now large, anachronistic, and bureaucratic—has all but exhausted its capabilities to respond to challenges and threats from within and without. Years of hypocrisy and power politics have taken their toll on the would-be “second Caltech.” Now, everything is going wrong. A cynical attempt to fire a popular young teacher, Alistair Higham, explodes as students, parents, alumni, and the professors’ professional organization come to the aid of the teacher. Investigation by the professional organization brings other injustices to light. It seems likely that the ...

Fry Day Plays & Poems
Over a career of 30+ years, Melanie Tem received the Bram Stoker, International Horror Guild, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy Awards for her writing, which included almost a hundred short stories, twelve solo novels, as well as scripts, poems, and storytelling performances. At the time of her death in 2015, she left behind numerous plays, several of which had been produced, but none had appeared in print. These plays arguably contain some of the finest writing of her final ten years. FRY DAY collects the best of these plays, along with a selection of her poetry.
Practical Wisdom
A reasoned yet urgent call to embrace and protect the essential, practical human quality that has been drummed out of our lives: wisdom. It's in our nature to want to succeed. It's also human nature to want to do right. But we've lost how to balance the two. How do we get it back? Practical Wisdom can help. "Practical wisdom" is the essential human quality that combines the fruits of our individual experiences with our empathy and intellect-an aim that Aristotle identified millennia ago. It's learning "the right way to do the right thing in a particular circumstance, with a particular person, at a particular time." But we have forgotten how to do this. In Practical Wisdom, Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe illuminate how to get back in touch with our wisdom: how to identify it, cultivate it, and enact it, and how to make ourselves healthier, wealthier, and wiser.
Wicked Craving
A weight-loss scammer is suspected of killing his wife in this mystery starring the “food-loving, witty and down-to-earth” PI (Publishers Weekly).

Her latest case puts her hot on the trail of a shady weight loss therapist who’s made a killing treating—and cheating—his overweight patients. The question is, did he kill his wife, too?

Savannah’s wit about food and healthy weight continues to sparkle.” —Publishers Weekly “Enjoyable . . . A nice mix of cozy relationships and mystery.” —Booklist
