Ejaculate Responsibly
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In Ejaculate Responsibly, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments, Blair deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women's bodies and instead directs the focus on men's lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Highly readable, accessible, funny, and unflinching, Blair builds her argument by walking readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women), the unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women), the wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating), and the counterintuitive reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy. The result is a compelling and convincing case for placing the responsibility--and burden--of preventing unwanted pregnancies away from women and onto men.
Time to Get Tough
A New York Times bestseller! For the first time in his own words, President-elect Donald J. Trump explains his plan to make America great again! He wants to "put America's interests first--and that means doing what's right for our economy, our national security, and our public safety." Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, "Merry Christmas!" The media scoffed at Trump's vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, "Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard." As Trump says in Time to Get Tough, "I've built businesses across the globe. I've dealt with foreign leaders. I've created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real money--massive money. That's what I do for a living: make big things happen..." Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and he's going to make them for America! From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America "doesn't need cowardice, it needs courage." President Elect Trump is about to "Make America Great Again" and Time to Get Tough is his blueprint!

Reckoning the Racial Reckoning
The demise of the 'racial reckoning' that followed George Floyd's death in 2020 occurred without definition, scrutiny or attempts to revive it. In this compelling new book, David Dante Troutt explores the 'what, ' 'so what' and 'now what' of this period when much of the US sidelined the pandemic to confront racial inequality. It details how a rare focus on embedded racism shifted toward awareness, leaving deep disparities in wealth, health and policing unaddressed, and how this was overpowered by an enduring conservative backlash. Troutt unpacks how legal doctrine favored colorblindness over inequality, and examines government policies that created segregated zones of racial bargaining in health and wealth. The book also exposes deterrence-proof policing rules and explains the problems and promises of DEI. Reckoning the Racial Reckoning argues that democratic struggles over local resources are essential for creating justice and well-being for Black American communities, and ultimately for all Americans.
Liberty Against Power
One of the most influential figures in the libertarian movement of the 1970s and 1980s is someone you may not have heard of, Roy A. Childs Jr., who tragically died in 1992 at the age of 43. During his short life, Childs, a brilliant autodidact, wrote and lectured extensively on individual liberty and free markets, and the dangers of state power and foreign intervention. He served as editor of Libertarian Review from 1977 to 1981, perhaps the high point of his career, and was a wildly popular public speaker. At the 1979 Libertarian Party convention he delivered the keynote address to repeated standing ovations. Childs boomed, "We mean to change the course of history. . . . We will not bend before the power of the state!" Childs's warm personality and enthusiasm were infectious, and he served as a mentor to many future luminaries in the libertarian movement.This new edition of Liberty Against Power presents some of the best of Childs's essays, letters, and criticism written between 1967 and 1989, as well as a lengthy interview conducted shortly before his death. In fluid prose, they explain the libertarian approach to some of the major issues of the last half of the 20th century, including Vietnam and conscription, corporate statism, objectivism, anarchism, education, property rights, civil rights, the drug war, the principle of non-aggression, price controls, protectionism, and economic nationalism. Childs's prophetic essay, "Politics: The New Authoritarians," written in 1982, uncannily explains the rise of populism and support for a powerful executive among the American Right today. The closing essay is a heartfelt tribute to the Russian immigrant Ayn Rand and her incalculable influence on the libertarian movement; we must combine the best in us, wrote Childs, for "we really do have a world to win, you know."In the brief 27 years of his career, Childs either participated in events held by or wrote for the Cato Institute (where he worked from 1982 to 1984), the Libertarian Scholars Conference, the Libertarian Party, the Society for Individual Liberty, Rampart College, Libertarian Review, Reason, The Individualist, and Laissez Faire Books (where he worked from 1984 to his death). Childs knew and often collaborated with libertarian scholars such as Ludwig von Mises, F. A. Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Robert Nozick, Thomas Szasz, Nathaniel and Barbara Branden, Leonard Read, David Boaz, and Joan Kennedy Taylor. Liberty Against Power ensures Childs' intellectual legacy and is indispensable for students and academics learning about libertarianism and its growing appeal.
Australia's Anti-Corruption Bodies
This volume is the first comprehensive overview in book form of Australia's network of anti-corruption commissions. Australia is the only Westminster democracy with such bodies, whose antecedents derive in part from developments in Asia rather than elsewhere. Seven of the nine commissions are analysed by relevant experts, from Australia's first anti-corruption body, the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption formed in 1988, to the most recent, the National Anti-Corruption Commission established in 2023. Given anti-corruption commissions exist in all nine Australian jurisdictions and several have been operating for over three decades, now is an appropriate time to assess and compare: how these different bodies perform; their roles compared to ad hoc royal commissions; the different factors that led to their formation; their various powers; controversies, successes and failures; their impact on civil liberties; relations with executive government and parliament; issues of accountability; their overall impact and effectiveness; and their place in the architecture of modern Australian government. In identifying and explaining the similarities and differences of anti-corruption bodies across the jurisdictions this volume asks whether there is an ideal model? Has there been any learning by later bodies from their predecessors? Has the just formed NACC, for instance, reflected any lessons learnt from all the previous state and territory bodies that went before it?
Between Application and Creation. Kelsen's conception of the judicial function versus classical positivism
La obra Between Application and Creation. Kelsen's Conception of the Judicial Function versus Classical Positivism estudia la concepci籀n kelseniana de la funci籀n judicial en contraste con el positivismo cl獺sico. Sostiene que la actividad jurisdiccional no es una mera aplicaci籀n mec獺nica de normas, sino un proceso que exige interpretaci籀n y, en determinados m獺rgenes, creaci籀n normativa. El an獺lisis muestra c籀mo la teor穩a pura del derecho reconoce la indeterminaci籀n del lenguaje jur穩dico y la necesidad de decisiones que otorgan sentido al ordenamiento, sin abandonar el marco normativista. El libro examina cr穩ticamente la tensi籀n entre formalismo y creatividad judicial, as穩 como los l穩mites institucionales y dogm獺ticos de la discrecionalidad. Mediante una lectura hermen矇utica y comparativa, los autores ponen de relieve la vigencia de Kelsen frente a los debates contempor獺neos sobre interpretaci籀n, constitucionalismo y el papel de los jueces en la preservaci籀n del Estado de derecho.
