Not Exactly the Finest Kind
Do you like a good ghost, alien, angel, rock n roll coming of age story thats really screwed up? This may be your type of tale! More than two decades following his fifteen seconds of fame, former 1980s rock star Steve Finney now entertains in the Florida Keys as a part-time lounge act and full time bartender. Old friends drag Steve out of the tropical hideout back up to his old home state of Maine for, of all things, a high school reunion and a funeral. But then the inevitable trip back in time and to his old hometown up north gets weird as ancient aliens, angels, and ghosts from the past and present (are they all the same?) try to guide Steve on and off the path. Joining the former rockers coming-of-age journey are some equally confused old friends. The restaurant manager who hates people. A medium who chaotically misinterprets the latest cause he is involved with and the voices he hears, and another buddy whose family is dying off like an endangered species. All of these events come to a head during another summer in the small tourist trap town of Acorn Bay, Maine. Oh yeah, and theres a thirty-eight-pound talking lobster.
The Stranger in the Park
This is a fiction story which covers a mini-history of life in Los Angeles, California. It begins in the 1920s and ends around 2016. It discusses issues of crime, race relations, and sexual morality. Youll see how some people dealt with race relations by fighting segregation, fighting integration, blacks passing for white, and mixed marriages. The book pays particular attention to how race affected life within the Los Angeles police and fire departments. See how sexual jealousy caused one of the characters to commit double murder and how he tries to kill a third person. Despite serious themes, I believe the reader will find some comedy.
Private Consciences and Public Reasons
Within democratic societies, a deep division exists over the nature of community and the grounds for political life. Should the political order be neutral between competing conceptions of the good life or should it be based on some such conception? This book addresses one crucial set of problems raised by this division: What bases should officials and citizens employ in reaching political decisions and justifying their positions? Should they feel free to rely on whatever grounds seem otherwise persuasive to them, like religious convictions, or should they restrict themselves to "public reasons," reasons that are shared within the society or arise from the premises of liberal democracy?

The Authorized P-Funk Song Reference
“Daniel Bedrosian has done a wonderful job of a seemingly impossible task of reconstructing this history-finding everybody who's been a part of, involved with, or in any way left their fingerprint on what has become the P-Funk.”- George Clinton George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective (P-Funk) stands as one of the most iconic and important groups in popular music history, with an impressively large discography, enormous number of members, and long history. For the first time, this authorized reference provides the official P-Funk canon from 1956 to 2023: every project, album, collaboration, song, details of personnel for songs, and tidbits about each act and select songs, as wel...
The Battle Over School Prayer
A concise and readable guide to the first--and still most important--case that tackled the constitutionality of prayer in public schools.

Church-State Relations in Crisis
Increasingly the Supreme Court's strict separationist, no-aid-to-religion doctrine that was in favor during the 1970s and 1980s is being challenged by a new approach aimed at equal treatment or neutrality. In Church-State Relations in Crisis, political scientist Stephen V. Monsma explores the neutrality principle and arguments for and against it. Monsma uses the Supreme Court's Mitchell v. Helms decision as the starting point for his discussion and argues that Mitchell v. Helms more directly than any other decision was based on this new idea of neutrality in Church-State relations. Monsma examines the three, strongly worded opinions of the court, and presents ten diverse essays by leading scholars analyzing the opinions and their impact on the establishment clause interpretation and public policy. Designed specifically for students of the law and religion and politics, Church-State Relations in Crisis is a well-balanced collection and an outstanding source for debate on the future of government and religion in the United States.
