A Novel

Ten years after leaving Cooley Ridge, Nicolette Farrell returns to care for her ailing father. A decade ago, she, her brother Daniel, her boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne's boyfriend Jackson were suspects when Corinne--Nic's best friend-- disappeared without a trace. Within days of Nic's return, they are plunged into a shocking drama when Nic's neighbor Annaleise, who is dating Tyler and was the group's alibi ten years previously, goes missing. Told backwards from the time Annaleise disappears, the book follows Nic as she works to unravel the truth and, in the process, reveals shocking realities about her friends, her family, and what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago.

George F. Will

Collection of George Will columns from 1997-2002. 

America and the World, 1997-2002

In the introduction to this, the seventh collection of the newspaper and magazine columns, book reviews, speeches, and occasional writings of George Will, he notes the bemusement with which some may react to his choice of title. W. H. Auden wrote his poem The Horatians from which the following lines are taken: We can onlydo what it seems to us we were made for, look atthis world with a happy eyebut from a sober perspective. The poem was written in 1968. It was a year notable in the United States for assassination, riot, war, and political violence unseen for the preceeding 100 years. If humanity could be instructed to view that world with a happy eye, can America today do any less, faced with the clearest and most coherent expression of national unity since the Second World War? With a Happy Eye But . . . is both a clear description of the attitude that informs these collected pieces (and the attitude of their creator) and an admonition to Americans.

With a Happy Eye But...

Collection of George Will columns from the mid 1990s. 

Conservatism and America's Fabric, 1994-1997

In this volume, Mr. Will, distinguished political columnist and cultural critic, examines many episodes of the conservatives' tribulations and the liberals' accommodations to the new political landscape. These writings present a map of the landscape, a guide for people perplexed by the gap between contemporary political theories and practices. Here are essays about the peculiar goings-on on campuses, where "rights"--Including a right to Chinese take-out food - multiply. Mr. Will is as pleased by the thirtieth anniversary of The Public Interest quarterly as he is appalled by the horrific new "sport" of "extreme fighting," which raises questions about the limits of permissible commerce. Here are snapshots of something trivial, the 1996 presidential campaign, that illustrated something momentous, the marginalization of the presidency. Mr. Will examines the achievements and misadventures of judicial activism, the writing of national standards for the teaching of history, and the West's response to genocide in the Balkans. But as always in Mr. Will's writings, there is time for the pure fun of life in a nation blessed with ESPN and Corvettes.

How to Use the Law to Create Value, Marshal Resources, and Manage Risk

What every manager must know about the law both to steer clear of trouble and to maximise business opportunities. At any moment, employees at any level of the corporate hierarchy can put an entire organisation at risk by misunderstanding, ignoring, or flouting the law. Enron, WorldCom and other fallen giants are glaring reminders of the consequences of this fact. But what most managers fail to recognise is that the law is about much more than compliance. This book shows how managers can use the legal system as a powerful strategic tool for maximising corporate value, marshalling human and capital resources and managing risk.

Judicial philosophy from a retired U.S. Circuit Court Judge. 

In this book, Richard A. Posner examines how judges go about making difficult decisions.
