Urofsky From the admired judicial authority, Melvin Urofsky's major new book looks at the role of dissent in the Supreme Court and the meaning of the Constitution through the greatest and longest lasting public-policy debate in the country's history. Constitutional dialogue is one of the ways in which we as a people reinvent and reinvigorate our democratic society. In Dissent and the Supreme Court, acclaimed historian Melvin Urofsky examines the great dissents throughout the Court's 225-year history. Throughout its history, the Supreme Court has interpreted the meaning of the Constitution, acknowledged that the Court's majority opinions have not always been right, and initiated a critical discourse about what a particular decision should mean--largely through the power of dissent. Urofsky shows that the practice grew slowly but steadily and that in the nineteenth century dissents became more frequent--fashioning subsequent decisions. Beginning with the (in)famous & now overturned case of Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857), during which Chief Justice Roger Taney's opinion upheld slavery, Urofsky then considers Louis Brandeis's dissenting opinion about wiretapping, which became the position of the Court four decades after it was written. ON SALE 1/10/2017 Urofsky looks at the many aspects of American constitutional life that were VINTAGE affected by the Earl Warren Court, the rise of conservatism, and the present age of TRADE PAPERBACK incivility, in which reasoned dialogue seems less and less possible. Yet within the Marble Palace, the members of the Supreme Court continue to hear arguments, 978-0-307-74132-5 vote, and draft majority opinions, while the minority continues to "respectfully $17.00/$23.00 dissent." The Framers understood that if a constitution doesn't grow and adapt, it atrophies and dies, and if it does, so does the democratic society it has supported.

Marketing and Publicity EXPERT AUTHOR: Melvin Urofsky is a major constitutional historian and scholar, praised by Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Rosen and celebrated, Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and Publicity author of Gideon's Trumpet, Anthony Lewis.

'Juice' Terry Lawson is a man who contains multitudes: he's a top shagger, drug-dealing, gonzo pornstar and taxi driver. As we ride along in Juice's cab through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, we encounter a series of charmingly filthy characters, each of whom present their own unique challenges. Has he finally met his match in Hurricane 'Bawbag'? Can he discover the fate of the beautiful Jinty Magdalen and keep her idiot-savant lover, Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he find out the real motives of the reality-TV star, Ronald Checker? And, crucially, will Juice be able to negotiate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility, and can a new fascination for the game of golf help him to live without a decent ride? Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for one unforgettable ride. HOLLYWOOD BUZZ: A sequel to the classic film Trainspotting, which catapulted Welsh to fame--directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor--is rumored to hit theaters in early 2017. The film will renew interest in Welsh and the paperback price point will attract new fans who see the movie. RETURN OF A BELOVED CHARACTER: Juice, who made his first appearance in Welsh's Glue, is a mess of gleeful contradictions: charismatic yet immoral, shameless but decent. Fans will delight in returning to Juice, and the depraved Edinburgh of Welsh's imagining. What's more, the character Ronald Checker, a reality TV star and businessman, shares a number of qualities with one Donald Trump, tying A Decent Ride to the media circus that surrounds the candidate.

Rebecca Wright has reclaimed her life following a tragedy, spending her days working in customer support for the internet dating site where she first met her husband. But she can't shake a strange sense that everything around her is somewhat off-kilter: she constantly feels as if she has walked into a room and forgotten what she intended to do there; on TV, the President seems to be the wrong person in the wrong place; her dreams are full of disquiet. Meanwhile, her husband's decade-long dedication to his invention, the causality violation device (which he would greatly prefer you not call a "time machine") has effectively stalled his career and made him a laughingstock in the physics community. But he may be closer to success than either of them knows. Emotionally powerful and stunningly visionary, Version Control will alter the way you see both the future and the present.

The irresistible Sully, who in the intervening years has come by some unexpected good fortune, is now staring down a VA cardiologist's estimate that he only has a year or two left. He's busy as hell keeping the news from the most important people in his life: Ruth, the married woman he carried on with for years... the ultra-hapless Rub Squeers, who worries that he and Sully aren't still best friends... his son and grandson, for whom he was mostly an absentee figure... Doug Raymer, now chief of police and still obsessing over the identity of the man his wife might have been having an affair with before she died in a freak accident... North Bath's mayor, the former academic Gus Moynihan, who also has a pressing wife problem... and then there's Carl Roebuck, whose lifelong run of failing upwards might now come to ruin.
