LIBERAL ARTS & HUMANITIES | American History

To what degree should the American justice system punish offenders? Should the age of the offender, his mental capacity, or the severity of his crime help dictate a fair punishment? This anthology discusses the Eighth Amendment, including a history dating back to biblical times, its inseparable ties to the death penalty, and recent rulings and debates. LB 978-0-7377-1925-3 $43.20 | $34.56

Outraged by royal officials’ ability to search homes and even individuals at will and seize whatever they considered “contraband,” Americans were determined to limit the search and seizure powers of the new federal government. Since then, the Fourth Amendment has become the basis for numerous rules limiting the gathering and use of evidence by police and prosecutors. LB 978-0-7377-1927-7 $43.20 | $34.56

Each featured writing in this title focuses on the freedom of assembly and petition guaranteed by the amendments and traces its evolution throughout American history to the present. Primary documents, including landmark Supreme Court rulings, reveal the ongoing effort to define the exact meaning of the text and apply its abstract concepts to real-world cases. Secondary sources, including magazine articles and book excerpts, add an additional layer of analysis and commentary. eBook 978-0-7377-5265-6 $47.52 • LB 978-0-7377-3544-4 $43.20 | $34.56

The Founding Fathers included a statement relating to religion in the First Amendment. Even though this statement is short, people have debated its meaning over the years.

LB 978-0-7377-2647-3 $43.20 | $34.56

Acting as jurors, ordinary citizens have the power to free the accused, levy enormous fines on negligent corporations, and even mete out the death penalty—powers most countries keep in the hands of the ruling elite. As this anthology reveals, Americans have a long-standing attachment to this right, even as some question the way it works in practice. LB 978-0-7377-1937-6 $43.20 | $34.56

It is not clear whether the Second Amendment supports an individual right to own guns or a collective right of states to raise and regulate militias. For decades, constitutional scholars and political activists have fervently debated the meaning of the amendment and its implications for gun control. LB 978-0-7377-1933-8 $43.20 | $34.56

The right to due process is one of the most important constitutional protections provided to Americans. This book explores all aspects of this special guarantee from its origins in England’s Magna Carta to its meaning in the context of today’s most controversial civil and criminal issues.

In First Amendment Cases, award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold discusses some of the most important First Amendment issues of the twentieth century and explores their continuing resonance in current life. Schenck v. United States was the first in a line of Supreme Court cases defining the modern understanding of the First Amendment and its impact on the freedom of religion. eBOOK 978-1-6271-2388-4 $42.79 | $29.95 • LB 978-1-6271-2387-7 $42.79 | $29.95

Freedom of the press, embedded in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, ran into quite a challenge when Reverend Jerry Falwell sued Hustler Magazine Publisher Larry Flynt for printing a mock advertisement in his magazine describing Falwell as engaging in an incestuous act with his mother. In this book, award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold shows readers how the case went all the way to the Supreme Court, where the right to parody public figures, and the First Amendment, were upheld. Gold explains the controversial decision in a narrative that is both informative and highly entertaining. eBOOK 978-1-6271-2392-1 $42.79 | $29.95 • LB 978-1-6271-2390-7 $42.79 | $29.95

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees free press and free speech, but those rights are not unlimited. Award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold looks at the issues involved when the Minnesota city of St. Paul tried to ban hate speech within its borders.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the case has become a testament to the sanctity of the First Amendment—even when it protects hateful speech and symbolic acts that most Americans despise. eBOOK 978-1-6271-2395-2 $42.79 | $29.95 • LB 978-1-6271-2393-8 $42.79 | $29.95

During World War II, American children who were Jehovah’s Witnesses refused to salute the flag because it conflicted with their religion. In Saluting the Flag: West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold delves into the issues behind the Supreme Court case. An impressive victory for the First Amendment, especially in a time of war, the decision established that the government cannot compel Americans to participate in symbolic speech, such as a flag salute. Although the case involved Jehovah’s Witnesses, the decision embraced freedom of expression, as well as freedom of religion. eBOOK 978-1-6271-2398-3 $42.79 | $29.95 • LB 978-1-6271-2396-9 $42.79 | $29.95

Members of New York State Crime Victims Board, award-winning author Susan Dudley Gold explores the issues involved when the state of New York attempted to override the free speech rights of criminals in an effort to compensate their victims. The case and its ramifications, described in a clear and entertaining narrative, demonstrate the sanctity of the First Amendment—even when protecting the rights of wrongdoers—and how government interference with free speech affects all citizens. eBOOK 978-1-6271-2401-0 $42.79 | $29.95 • LB 978-1-6271-2399-0 $42.79 | $29.95

Sexual assault on the campuses of universities and private schools appears to be on the rise. Alcohol and fraternities are easy targets, but the issue is much more complicated. Despite attempts made by administrators to define consent clearly, it can be a legal gray area.

Drawing is the technique of producing images on a surface, usually paper, by means of marks, usually of ink, graphite, chalk, charcoal, or crayon. Although drawings differ in quality, they have a common purpose—to give a visible form to an idea and to express the artist’s feeling about it. Besides the way in which they feel about their subjects, artists reflect in their drawing their individual approaches to techniques and tools. In line drawings, for example, form is usually expressed by line only. This volume deals with drawings’ aesthetic characteristics, mediums of expression, subject matter, and some leading artists and their works. eBOOK 978-1-6804-8361-1 $36.25 | $30.80 • LB 978-1-6804-8371-0 $36.25 | $30.80

Capitalism is first and foremost an economic system that prizes free and competitive markets, private ownership, and a comparatively small role for government intervention and regulation. Yet capitalism also has many political undertones and has become associated with notions of freedom, individualism, self-determination, and anti-unionism. As a political and economic philosophy, it was a major player in the Cold War, as it squared off against communism and seemingly triumphed. The colorful history of this economic system that doubles as a political philosophy is recounted here from Medieval-era experiments in agrarian capitalism and mercantilism to the twenty-first-century digital economy and bitcoins.

These multi-layered lands—where folk traditions still exist alongside the hallmarks of modern life and the remnants of communist rule—are the subjects of this sweeping tome. eBOOK 978-1-6153-0987-0 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6153-0968-9 $54.00 | $45.90

Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands

For centuries, islands of the Mediterranean served as a cultural crossroads with the Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs variously settling and colonizing the area. Cyprus, Greece, and Malta in particular were subject to the influence of foreign powers and remained so for much of their histories. Today, each has gained its independence and gone on to become an active member of the European Union. This lively volume examines the historical events that shaped these EU countries, as well as the cultural traditions of the diverse societies that call them home. eBOOK 978-1-6153-0985-6 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6153-0972-6 $54.00 | $45.90

After emerging from the long shadow cast by the Soviet Union, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania and neighboring Poland transitioned from communism to market economies and instituted democratic reforms in a remarkably short time.

The journeys each country has made—from antiquity to the present—and the remarkable peoples and cultures that make their populations are the subjects of this captivating volume. eBOOK 978-1-6153-0991-7 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6153-0971-9 $54.00 | $45.90

Germany’s complex past is riddled with both stunning triumphs and staggering failures. Once little more than a federation of tribes, over the course of its history it formed various alliances, some of which were broken while others survived and allowed Germany to become a significant power in Europe and the world. Although a sense of German national identity was centuries in the making, folk traditions, regional culture, and a robust intellectual tradition have endured throughout the ages and produced world-famous musicians, artists, and writers. Still, Germany’s roles in both World Wars remains a significant—and appalling—part of its history. This all-encompassing volume profiles Germany from antiquity to the present day by examining its layered past, including its transition from a world power to a divided state and the major economic strides it has made since unification. eBOOK 978-1-6153-0983-2 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6153-0965-8 $54.00 | $45.90

Although the independent Irish republic emerged only relatively recently, its rich history and cultural bounties date back centuries. The Irish have long endured strife from struggling against external control—notably English rule—as well as against infighting, often between Roman Catholics and Protestants. Yet even amidst such conflict, Ireland has continued to be known as the “land of saints and scholars” with writers such as James Joyce and W.B. Yeats, as well as musicians U2 and Sinead O’Connor, representing some of its most memorable cultural output. This compelling profile of Ireland surveys the land, people, culture, and history of this storied country from the beginning of Celtic society to the development of the Celtic Tiger economy of the early 21st century. eBOOK 978-1-6227-5059-7 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6227-5058-0 $54.00 | $45.90

It is almost impossible to think about Italy without recalling its Renaissance art masterpieces, its spectacular landscapes, or its widely loved cuisine. Although these combined elements hint at a united Italian culture, Italy is truly a country composed of individual regions, each with their own identities, histories, and traditions.

Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales—storied lands that have sparked the global imagination through their legends and centuries-old traditions—often seem to be eclipsed by neighboring England. While there are many similarities between them, each is culturally distinct with languages, traditions, and identities not shared by the others. But even as Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales each work to safeguard their unique heritages, they have also worked together and with England, despite the often tense relationships between them that have at times made coexistence difficult and independence movements frequent. The histories, peoples, and traditions of these remarkable lands are the subjects of this comprehensive volume. eBOOK 978-1-6227-5056-6 $54.00 | $45.90 • LB 978-1-6227-5055-9 $54.00 | $45.90

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY: CONCEPTS, METHODS, AND THEORIES LB (2 Titles) 978-1-6227-5119-8 $67.80 | $57.60

Today we have countless scientific laws and principles that help explain our observations of the natural world. However, this was not always the case. Although individuals have long sought to understand their surroundings, it was not until around 25 BCE that scientific activity began to assume a more prominent place in civilizations around the world. The journey from early investigation through the scientific revolution to the present day is chronicled in this absorbing volume. Readers will learn how religion helped fuel early studies in astronomy, how Stonehenge is related to the Pythagorean theorem, how the development of the scientific method affected the various branches of science, the implications of the “God particle,” and much more. eBOOK 978-1-6227-5117-4 $33.90 | $28.80 • LB 978-1-6227-5116-7 $33.90 | $28.80

The scientific discoveries of ancient philosophers such as Aristotle were considered to be in the realm of natural philosophy. Today philosophy and science are considered separate disciplines, yet each illuminates and complements the other. Modern philosophers are apt to pose important questions about the logic behind and validity of scientific practices. This comprehensive volume explains how and why philosophical thought is applied to the natural sciences and challenges readers to think in different ways about scientific inquiry. eBOOK 978-1-6227-5114-3 $33.90 | $28.80 • LB 978-1-6227-5113-6 $33.90 | $28.80
