The second book in J.R. Sharp's WWII Enemy series, Breaking From the Enemy is based on a true story. Gino Cartelli is an Italian soldier forced to fight for the Nazis in 1940. He knows it is only a matter of time before he meets the same fate as his two brothers who died in battle. After witnessing atrocities against his fellow Italians, he learns to fight the Germans who have made Rome their headquarters. When Gino makes his move to escape the Gestapo, they trail him to the ancient city of Monte Cassino, where other Italian partisans, including a nun named Caroline Franco, take him through the ancient trails of the Latin Valley to escape his pursuers. Will they be able to get past the Nazi roadblocks, or will they be caught before they escape to the north to finally become free and reunited with their families?

Habeas corpus is the principal means under the common law for the protection of personal liberty. By this ancient writ, the court assumes control over the body of a prisoner so it can discharge him or her to freedom if no proper legal cause can be shown for detention. Habeas corpus secures release from any form of unlawful custody, whether decreed by the highest powers of the state or imposed by the lowest slave-trader. Its reach is as diverse as the forms of confinement. Throughout its history, it has proved adept at adapting to new challenges. It extends beyond the prison wall and has been invoked to determine the proper parental custody of a child and to free patients wrongly detained for compulsory medical treatment, indentured workers, conscripted soldiers, as well as individuals wrongly held in the war on terrorism. Looking first at the historical development of the writ, the book traces its growth in significance until its emergence as a cornerstone of the rule of law. Having established habeas corpus as a central constitutional principle, the volume goes on to examine the role and limits of the remedy today. It describes the modern workings of habeas corpus and assesses its contemporary scope and function. The authors explore the relationship between habeas corpus and fundamental rights. Critically surveying the nature of judicial review on habeas corpus, the book investigates past, present, and potential future uses of the writ, providing a comprehensive statement of current English law and a discussion of the position in other Commonwealth countries.

You've come a long way, Frankie Meet the new Frankenstein, Frank N. Stein, who's finally evolved into the everyman he always wanted to be, or at least as close as he could ever hope to be. The only problem is the world's evolved right along with him. And now, he, along with the everyman, has a whole new set of problems to deal with. Seems the more things change, the more they remain the same.... Set in New York City in the dawn of the twenty-first century, Frank N. Stein-- an easygoing, none too swift and all too mild-mannered, out of work and out of ideas, once famous monster man of stage and screen lore-- finds himself pitted against a self-absorbed (and accident-prone) corporate billionaire CEO who heads up the ever-expanding Classy Corp product empire, and who has a penchant for branding all his products under his, what else, Classy Corp moniker, including his skyscrapers with his two-story high, golden-glowing name plate. (Remind you of anybody? Tick-tock, tick-tock.) Separated from his diva/torch singer wife and struggling hopelessly to rein in his 17-year-old headstrong daughter and his slipping finances, "Frankie," to his hot dog vending friends, must learn to get tough, and quick, and tap into his long-dormant inner monster to compete and survive the looming Classy Corp threat... or continue on his downward slide to impending doom and destruction. Oh dear Peppered with politically incorrect characters and observations, and hot dogs, this freshly delivered Frankenstein/ the everyman versus the corporation comedy/allegory not only asks the age-old question, who exactly is the monster in the room, but more importantly, what exactly does the little man and woman plan on doing about it... while there's still time to do something about it. All under the fast approaching shadow of Frankenstein's 200th anniversary. With an idea originally conceived nearly a decade ago, this irreverent comedy/satire/whatever holds even more relevance today in the wake of America's 2016 presidential election. While its easy to read "screen story" (screenplay) format will be more fully explained in the Preface and should pose no problem at all for any reader, short...or tall....

GOETHE bemerkt in seinen "Maximen und Reflexionen": "Zur Verewigung des Irrtums tragen die Werke besonders bei, die enzyklopädisch das Wahre und Falsche des Tages überliefern. Hier kann die Wissenschaft nicht bearbeitet werden, sondern was man weiß, glaubt, wähnt, wird aufgenommen; deswegen sehen solche Werke nach fünfzig Jahren gar wunderlich aus. " Diese kritische Einstellung zum "Handbuch" hatte ich vor Augen, als ich mit den Vorbereitun gen für den Band "Mikrozirkulation" begann. Den Mut, dennoch ein nicht abgeschlossenes Werk vorzulegen, begründe ich damit, daß die Sorge, zur Ver ewigung des Irrtums beizutragen, für das heutige Verständnis der Wissenschaft nicht mehr gilt. Zwar halten manche Forscher daran fest - und das ist auch ihr gutes Recht - zu versuchen, einmal Erarbeitetes mit neuen Methoden oder durch ergänzende Befunde zu bestätigen und zu erhärten, im Grunde geben sie aber durch ihre weiteren Arbeiten zu - und sie sind auch darauf gefaßt -, daß jeder einzelne Befund, jede Grundlage und jede entwickelte Hypothese sich als falsch erweisen kann. Diese skeptische Grundhaltung der Forscher gegen über den Ergebnissen der Wissenschaft rührt daher, daß sie einerseits nicht mehr glauben, sich mit Hilfe der Wissenschaft jemals der Wahrheit direkt versi chern zu können, andererseits können sie Glauben im Sinne des Fest-für-wahr Haltens in der Wissenschaft nicht gelten lassen. In dem Bestreben, die Dinge kritisch und realistisch zu sehen, bemühen sich die theoretischen, d. h.

The U.S. Army has been and is struggling with sexual harassment, assault, and rape in its ranks, but the future can be different. In this monograph, three seasoned officers and one cadet propose a series of steps-based on West Point's experiences-to "get to the left" of these incidents by changing the cultural structures that allow them to occur. This will only become more critical as the Army works on the policies that will fully integrate women into the combat arms, introducing women to sub-cultures that have, for years, equated martial virtues with masculine ones.
