"This book delves into this struggle, offering an exploration of how antitrust laws have evolved, how they are being challenged, and what is at stake for the future. Through a unique lens that juxtaposes the legacies of Louis Brandeis, Robert Bork, and Joseph Schumpeter, this book offers an analysis of the forces shaping the future of antitrust. By tracing the historical evolution of antitrust law through economic theory and examining the ongoing debates that define today's regulatory environment, the author provides a guide to the competing schools of thought in this critical field." -- Publisher site.

"This book catalogues restoration of rights procedures in tribal law, to include pardons, expungements, and record sealing. Collateral consequences have proliferated in tribal law because of the limitations of tribal criminal jurisdiction, including over non-tribal members. However, tribal collateral consequences risk contributing to overcriminalization and social exclusion for persons with previous criminal convictions, especially as Native Americans are already disproportionately impacted by the U.S. criminal justice system. This book will appeal to legal academics, scholars and practitioners working in tribal criminal law, as well as to others with interests in Indigenous legal issues." -- Publisher site.

"In The End of Immunity, former President of the International Criminal Court Chile Eboe-Osuji probes the history and theory of the concept of immunity for heads of state, underscoring tribunal achievements, pointing out gaps in the existing framework of accountability and the hypocrisies that produced them, and offering workable solutions to the loopholes that government leaders still use to escape consequences today." -- Publisher site.

"Excellent at several levels, Feds in the Classroom provides essential historical background and dissects key programs, court cases, and statistics. McCluskey brilliantly illustrates how intervention often, if not typically, produces the opposite of the intended result, and he points the way out of the political morass that engulfs U.S. K-12 education.” ―John Merrifield, University of Texas, San Antonio

" In a compelling story covering more than a decade of her own research, Lanier takes us on her quest to prove her genealogical bloodline to Papa Renty's that pits her in a legal battle against one of the most powerful institutions in the country, Harvard University. The question is, who has claim to the stories, artifacts, and remnants of America's stained history-the institutions who acquired and housed them for generations, or the descendants who have survived? From These Roots is not only a historical record of one woman's lineage but a call to justice that fights for all those demanding to reclaim, honor, and lay to rest the remains of mishandled lives and memories." -- Publisher site.

"This book explores the relationship between sports law, the Olympic Movement and human rights. Examining the historical legal roots of contemporary 'Olympic law', including the ancient history of the Olympic Games and the legacy of Pierre de Coubertin, the book shines new light on one of the most important issues in world sport today. Offering a new inter-disciplinary perspective on Olympic law, drawing on legal theory, history and contemporary social scientific studies in sport, this book is fascinating reading for any advanced student, researcher, policy-maker or practitioner with an interest in sports law, the Olympic Games, mega-events or human rights." -- Publisher site.

"The Origins of the Criminal Justice System traces the development of Western systems of justice through the ages. It examines the social and political contexts that shaped responses to deviance and crime, the formalization and execution of these responses, and the communities affected by these policies and practices." -- Publisher site.

"Scott Memmel offers the first book-length study of the history and legal landscape of the press-police relationship. Each chapter focuses on interactions between the press and the police during a particular era, introducing relevant societal context and how both institutions evolved and responded to that context. Memmel concludes his study with recommendations on how, going forward, the press and the police might work together to tackle some of the similar issues they face and better serve the public." -- Publisher site.

"In Righteous Strife, Richard Carwardine gives renewed attention to this crucible of contending religious nationalisms, out of which was forged emancipation, Lincoln's re-election, and his Second Inaugural Address. No understanding of the American Civil War is complete without accounting for this complex dance between church and state-one that continues to define our nation." -- Publisher site.

"Searches illuminates Big Tech's incursion into our lives, while proposing that by harnessing the collective imagination that taught us to communicate in the first place, we might invent a nobler, freer relationship with our machines and, ultimately, with one another." -- Publisher site.

"As space continues to attract substantial public and private investment and has become ever more active, the third edition of this book has been fully updated to cover recent developments. This includes the legal bases of UN Resolution 76/3 The 'Space3030' Agenda which envisages 'space as a driver of sustainable development' and sets out an extensive programme for the future. The work also takes account of adaptations and augmentations to basic space treaties. It examines the increasing commercialization of space in areas such as space tourism and space mining for which four states have already adopted relevant legislation. It also examines the impact of new technologies such as the deployment of satellite constellations and micro-satellites." -- Publisher site.
