All 15-year-old Alice and her sisters Emma, Clara and Lily wanted to know was where they came from. Who had brought them to their secluded orphanage home and why did they each wear a mysterious golden pendant? The question seemed simple enough, but when posed to their strict headmistress Ms. Craddock, the girls discover far more than they expected. Now Alice and her sisters find themselves on a dangerous question to free the kingdom of Algernon from the grip of a demon ruler, before he conquers all the lands of Fadreama. Guided by a powerful wizard, the girls make their way across the kingdom meeting friend and foe alike, all the while realizing that destiny never brings the expected. Pursued by a witch and running out of time, Alice must learn how to harness the power of her inner light in order to stop the terror before it is too late.

Manufacturing Guilt, 2nd edition, updates the cases presented in the first edition and includes two new chapters: one concerning the case of James Driskell and another regarding Dr. Charles Smith, whose role in forensic pathology evidence led to several wrongful convictions. In this new edition, the authors demonstrate that the same factors at play in the criminalization of the powerless and marginalized are found in cases of wrongful conviction. Contrary to popular belief, wrongful convictions are not due simply to “unintended errors,” but rather are too often the result of the deliberate actions of those working in the criminal justice system. Using Canadian cases of miscarriages of justice, the authors argue that understanding wrongful convictions and how to prevent them is incomplete outside the broader societal context in which they occur, particularly regarding racial and social inequality.

This elegantly written book describes the evolving perception and experience of the night in three great European cities: Paris, Berlin, and London. As Joachim Schlör shows, the lighting up of the European city by gas and electricity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries brought about a new relationship with the night for both those who toiled at work and those who caroused in restaurants, pubs, and cafes. Nights in the Big City explores this change and offers a stirring portrait of the secrets and mysteries a city can hold when the sun goes down. Sifting through countless police and church archives alongside first-hand accounts, Schlör sets out on his own explorations with a head full of histories, exploring the boulevards and side-streets of these three great capitals. Illustrated with haunting and evocative photographs by, among others, Bill Brandt and André Kertész, and filled with contemporary literary references, Nights in the Big City is a milestone in the cultural history of the city.
