Time is quickly running out to discover the nature of the Coldstone, while man and beast alike risk their lives to find it.New allies are entering the fray: Paladin-Commander Steelhorn of the Order of Love, Commander Xandros & Battlemage Evalia of the 13th Garrison, Deobria Ult, Priestess of Stara from Gonta, and more. Their combined efforts might be enough to stem the tide.Might.But with new allies come enemies old and new. Rmaci still sulks in the shadows - although haunted by her actions. Shiriak have begun to arrive; disgusting little demonic scavengers. ...and a messenger who heralds the "Man of the Red Death."Not the least of all is the wraith. Daringol's corruption has begun to spread down the mountainside. If not checked soon, it will infest the Kingdom of Dawnfire.Worse still?The man tasked with ending the haunting is nowhere to be found. While Akaran fights for his life, others will fight for his soul.Because if he dies, they're all just Dead Men Walking.
Akaran returns to Toniki in the thrilling conclusion to the Snowflakes Trilogy Magic has a cost, and it's time for some devils to pay their dues.Purged from Gonta, Daringol and Makolichi have gone to ground. Pulling them into the light is going to take a cataclysmic act of divine wrath to dredge their secrets out onto the frozen shores of Teboria Lake.Yet the exorcist sent to cull them has wallowed in the otherworldly waters of the River Solindal for far too long, and the Gods have begun to take notice of his trespasses. As shiriak swarm the mountainside and a man in a red robe plots in the Veil, time is not on his side to fix the rifts between the worlds. When Usaic's tower ascends, it'll raise the dead. But the damned had better hope they're ready......for Who comes next.
Akaran's story continues in the sequel to the Snowflakes Trilogy Welcome to Basion City, the oft-avowed "Safest place in the Kingdom." With a broken knee and his ability to use magic stolen from him, Exorcist Akaran DeHawk has been sent to recover at Medias Manor, a sanctuary for those with injuries both physical and not. He thinks he's found a safe haven, but not even his mind offers peace.His nights are plagued by visions of places he's been and things he's slain. The streets are dripping with it, too. As a wedding celebration between nations ramps up, the city is being pushed to the brink of open riots. To make matters worse, a prominent Granalchi Adept has been murdered in a manner so grisly, so brutal, so violent that it could only be the work of a madman. The question is who... or maybe, a better question is what. Akaran is going to have to fight the demons in his mind while trying to unravel a mystery that very few people have an interest in having solved. Otherwise, a dead mage is going to be the start of a celebration that only the dead will remember.The safest place in the Kingdom, to be sure... ...but insanity knows no respite. Welcome to a fantasy world for adults and only adults. Welcome to a world of blood, violence, swords and sorcery. Welcome to the Saga of the Dead Men Walking.
In life, the woman in his dreams had been a spy - a murderess, a liar, a fraud, and a thief. Sentenced to burn for her crimes, her screams have haunted his sleep since the moment she was set aflame.Discontent with just tormenting his sleep, her restless spirit now haunts his every step, both a cruel whisper in his ear and a vile vision in his sight as she heralds the arrival of a demonic plague that Akaran is powerless to stop.But while she twists his soul into shreds, another killer has turned the streets of Basion City into their private playground. No place is safe - not Medias Manor, not the Repository of Miral, and not even the Temple of Stara. As more people go missing and the bodies pile up, a bloody war in the underworld threatens to spill out of the darkness and into the light.As both the city and Akaran's mind descend into chaos, only insanity offers rapture...
The saints sing for mercy - and the condemned cry for justice.Blinded by divine fury, Exorcist Akaran DeHawk is ready to bring down holy vengeance across the neck of the sadistic vampire that's been plaguing his every waking step with rapturous glee. With the fate of the Auramancer in the balance, he'll burn the city down to save her if he has to - if the bloodsucking bastard doesn't do it first.Finding a respite from the mayhem means unleashing a reckoning the likes of which the Kingdom has never seen. Because if he doesn't, the woman he's sworn to protect will be trapped in eternal slavery......and her screams will be his requiem.Insanity's Requiem is the fourth and final book in the brutal grimdark fantasy series, The Auramancer's Exorcism. If vile monsters, stacks of bodies, and tortured minds take your interest, then you'll love Joshua E. B. Smith's final entry in his gore-filled epic.Order today - and let them sing the song of insanity.

Explaining cybercrime in a highly networked world, this book provides a comprehensive yet accessible summary of the history, modern developments, and efforts to combat cybercrime in various forms at all levels of government—international, national, state, and local.As the exponential growth of the Internet has made the exchange and storage of information quick and inexpensive, the incidence of cyber-enabled criminal activity—from copyright infringement to phishing to online pornography—has also exploded. These crimes, both old and new, are posing challenges for law enforcement and legislators alike. What efforts—if any—could deter cybercrime in the highly networked and extremely fast-moving modern world? Introduction to Cybercrime: Computer Crimes, Laws, and Policing in the 21st Century seeks to address this tough question and enables readers to better contextualize the place of cybercrime in the current landscape.This textbook documents how a significant side effect of the positive growth of technology has been a proliferation of computer-facilitated crime, explaining how computers have become the preferred tools used to commit crimes, both domestically and internationally, and have the potential to seriously harm people and property alike. The chapters discuss different types of cybercrimes—including new offenses unique to the Internet—and their widespread impacts. Readers will learn about the governmental responses worldwide that attempt to alleviate or prevent cybercrimes and gain a solid understanding of the issues surrounding cybercrime in today's society as well as the long- and short-term impacts of cybercrime.

In 1996, California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana. Since then, 30 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws legalizing marijuana in some form. Nine of those states, including Alaska, Oregon, Colorado and Washington, have legalized marijuana for recreational use. Many states, including Arizona and Ohio, are considering legislation to allow for legalized cannabis use. Marijuana 360: Differing Perspectives on Legalization examines the perception of marijuana legalization from the perspective of those who are directly involved in some aspect of legal marijuana. Nancy E. Marion and Joshua B. Hill interweaves the interviews from a variety of representatives from different integral groups that have been affected by marijuana legalization, in both states that have legalized or are considering the legalization of marijuana, to get their impressions of the impact the law has made (or will make) in their area. These groups include medical professionals, educators, parents, lawmakers, drug users, and others. There is more public support for reform than ever before, but still much debate over the issues of legalizing marijuana. Marijuana 360 increases our understanding of what different professionals think about the legalization of marijuana.

Un thriller mozzafiato, tra storia e mistero, che cattura l'attenzione del lettore dalla prima all'ultima pagina e che illumina gli scenari pi bui della storia del cristianesimo e dell'ebraismo. Un romanzo che parla di uomini pronti a tutto, interessati non alle verit della fede, ma a proteggere i due pi grandi misteri dell'umanit . Cos' davvero l'Arca dell'Alleanza? Cosa si cela al suo interno?Chi era realmente Mos ? E se, a dispetto della tradizione millenaria sulla Terra Promessa, Mos non fosse stato altri che un guerriero in cerca di potere e fama che non aveva trovato presso la corte egiziana? Se fosse scappato dall'Egitto per realizzare altrove i suoi sogni di gloria, mettendo a ferro e fuoco chiunque ostacolasse i suoi piani?Joshua, il figlio putativo del carpentiere Joseph, era davvero l'unigenito figlio di Dio?Quale fu l'effettivo ruolo dei dodici apostoli? E se i dogmi in cui crediamo fossero solo la conseguenza di un loro tradimento, ideato ad arte, per far convergere su Joshua le profezie ebraiche sul Messia al fine di raggiungere il loro grande scopo? Mandando il Maestro al macello, e facendolo apparire risorto, i dodici diedero vita a una nuova religione. Plausibile? Forse...I secoli trascorrono e il potere temporale della Chiesa di Roma cresce.Marco Polo, ricco e famoso commerciante veneziano, si afferma come ambasciatore del Khan, nel Catai. Ma chi era in realt questo mercante? E che relazione c'era tra la sua famiglia e gli apostoli?E ai giorni nostri, cosa potrebbe nascondere la tragica morte di Papa Luciani, dopo soli 33 giorni?

Le sue meravigliose idee di rinnovamento stanno cambiando radicalmente il volto del Chiesa Cattolica. Cosa c' dietro tutto questo?"Joshua e la Confraternita dell'Arca" un thriller che si dipana attraverso i secoli tra segreti, giochi di potere e misteri.Chi lo ha letto in anteprima, lo ha giudicato "Un romanzo che si insinua attraverso gli oscuri sentieri della storia delle grandi religioni monoteistiche". Marcella Nardi ha saputo usare, con grande maestria e preparazione, non solo la sua fantasia ma soprattutto le teorie di molti studiosi in merito alla figura di Joshua, il figlio del carpentiere Joseph. Com' successo che da un uomo buono e mite sia nata una delle pi grandi religioni di tutti i tempi? un romanzo che va letto pagina per pagina, lasciando libera la mente di volare attraverso il tempo, come ha fatto la scrittrice.

The Campaign to Impeach Justice William O. Douglas

University Press of Kansas

The politics of division and distraction, conservatives’ claims of liberalism’s dangers, the wisdom of amoral foreign policy, a partisan challenge to a Supreme Court justice, and threats to the constitutionally mandated balance between the three branches of government: however of the moment these matters might seem, they are clearly presaged in events chronicled by Joshua E. Kastenberg in this book, the first in-depth account of a campaign to impeach Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas nearly fifty years ago.On April 15, 1970, at President Richard Nixon’s behest, Republican House Minority Leader Gerald Ford brazenly called for the impeachment of Douglas, the nation’s leading liberal judge—and the House Judiciary Committee responded with a six-month investigation, while the Senate awaited a potential trial that never occurred. Ford’s actions against Douglas mirrored the anger that millions of Americans, then as now, harbored toward changing social, economic, and moral norms, and a federal government seemingly unconcerned with the lives of everyday working white Americans. Those actions also reflected, as this book reveals, what came to be known as the Republicans’ “southern strategy,” a cynical attempt to exploit the hostility of white southern voters toward the civil rights movement. Kastenberg describes the political actors, ambitions, alliances, and maneuvers behind the move to impeach Douglas—including the Nixon administration’s vain hope of deflecting attention from a surprisingly unpopular invasion of Cambodia—and follows the ill-advised effort to its ignominious conclusion, with consequences that resonate to this day.Marking a turning point in American politics, The Campaign to Impeach Justice William O. Douglas is a sobering, cautionary tale, a critical chapter in the history of constitutional malfeasance, and a reminder of the importance of judicial independence in a politically polarized age.
Goldwater v. Carter tells the story of the Supreme Court ruling that upheld President James Earl Carter’s unilateral decision to nullify the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty with the Republic of China (Taiwan), thereby enabling the United States to establish relations with the People’s Republic of China. Senator Barry Goldwater and other members of Congress brought a lawsuit against Carter, arguing that the president needed Senate approval to take this action. President Carter’s actions in recognizing the Peoples’ Republic of China were both a continuation of a process begun by President Richard Nixon, and a milestone in foreign policy that survived legal and political intervention. In their decision, the Supreme Court placed the removal of the United States from treaties squarely in the political, rather than the constitutional, arena.Goldwater contended that if Carter could withdraw from the treaty with Taiwan, then another president could theoretically withdraw from NATO and thereby endanger the global political order. Ironically, years later President Donald Trump, who stood in the mold of Goldwater’s brand of conservatism, posed this very threat.Joshua Kastenberg places the case of Goldwater v. Carter in the larger context of executive power. While presidential power had increased in the wake of FDR’s New Deal, Congress curbed this expansion during the Vietnam conflict, placing restrictions on the presidency in areas of foreign policy and national security that had not been seen since the defeat of the League of Nations in the Senate in 1919. The Court’s decision in favor of Carter, however, marked a return to the growth of the “imperial presidency,” which has only continued to expand.
