In this volume Robert C. Tucker looks critically at the later writings of Marx and Engels, not only as political theory but as the ideology for political revolution. From the vantage point established in his earlier work--that there is a continuity underlying Marx's writing from the newly discovered manuscripts of 1844 to the mature work, Capital--Professor Tucker examines Marx as a social, moral, and political theorist, and a theorist of modernization. "The Marxian Revolutionary Idea" is followed, in thought and application, through infancy to maturity, in success and failure, and finally as it has been transformed by modern socialism.

As the title suggests, in "What Every Teenager (and Every Parent) Should Know about New York Criminal Law" criminal defense attorney Robert Tucker uses plain language to explain the principles of New York criminal law to teenagers and parents. He focuses on concepts and situations that commonly apply to teenagers, and he draws upon his experience to illustrate scenarios that are particularly dangerous for teenagers and young adults. A criminal conviction can devastate a young life, and this book provides the necessary information to avoid the kind of poor choices that routinely drag young people into the criminal justice system. As the reader will discover, criminal law is sometimes confusing and counter-intuitive. Through this book, Robert Tucker removes the confusion and prepares young people to make informed choices. While the book is specific to New York criminal law, most of the basic concepts apply nation wide, and it will be a very useful resource to any family with teenagers.

"Where on Earth is Chima?" That was the first question Robert Tucker asked himself when his new NRA hat arrived in the mail. Having joined the organization two weeks previous, he was pleased with the prompt arrival of his complimentary gift, but he was concerned that it might have been made in Communist China, as many hats are. When the hat's tag indicated it was made in Chima, instead, he was relieved but understandably puzzled. The second question he asked himself was," So what do I do with it now?" The school shooting in Parkland, Florida was still a fresh memory in the national consciousness, and impassioned debate raged about gun-control in general and the National Rifle Association in particular. Given the climate, wearing the hat might have been a risky proposition.But, as a trial attorney and author of five novels, Robert Tucker knew a good story when it landed on his head. An experiment took shape, one in which he would wear the hat for a number of months and chronicle the reactions it provoked. In this manner, Wearing the NRA was born.For five months he wore the hat in the most unobtrusive way possible. Rather than being rude and confrontational, he was generous and kind, wanting any negative reaction to be toward the hat and nothing more. What he discovered was unexpected, refreshing, and instructive.Wearing the NRA is an engaging mix of humor, opinion, and memoir that puts a fresh face on the issues of gun-control, school safety, and personal liberty. It's a must read for any gun owner, but it's sure to entertain and inform any American who wants to understand one of the most disputed topics of our day.
