JUSTICE FOR ALL!Akuto lives a normal life, often dreaming of traveling to fantasy worlds and having adventures. To his surprise, his dream comes true, but this other world isn’t quite what he expected. The magical land of Chiyodaku doesn’t need a champion—it needs someone to oversee court trials. Fortunately, his older sister, Tsukasa, happens to be Japan’s greatest judge. And although she knows nothing about sorcery and monsters, that’s Akuto’s area of expertise as a game-obsessed high schooler. Together, they’re the perfect team to bring justice to the kingdom—at least they’d better be, because one of their fifirst cases is a murder trial…and the Hero is the accused!

One fateful day in the Chiyodaku Kingdom, where Tsukasa and Akuto run the Supreme Court as judge and court assistant, a building summoned by Princess Ecstasia collapses—and there are casualties. The high priest demands the princess take responsibility while also criticizing Japanese culture and laws, and even starts denouncing Akuto and Tsukasa. Shiro, in her devotion to the princess, can’t accept the trial that threatens to impeach her, and Tsukasa orders Shiro to leave the courtroom for obstructive behavior. While everyone else is falling apart at the seams, Akuto gets suspicious about something the high priest said and starts his own investigation. That’s when he discovers the true nature of an organization that fanatically worships this world’s God—the same God Tsukasa aims to judge!

A cold sweat had spread over Mary as she listened. What she was hearing was sounding ever more like a premonition: adultery was nearly as bad as murder.Shetland, 1773: a land of hand-to-mouth living and tight community ties overshadowed by the ever-watchful eye of the kirk, an institution ‘run by auld men, for auld men’. In this fictionalised retelling of historical events, young Waas lass Mary Johnsdaughter stands accused of having sinned in the eyes of the church after the Batchelor, a ship bursting with emigrants seeking new lives in North Carolina, is left stranded upon Shetland’s shores.Will she survive the humiliation? Will she become an outcast? Will one moment cost her everything?A tale of Shetland folk knit out of Shetlandic voices and real parish records, The Trials of Mary Johnsdaughter pits the bonds of friends and family against the grip of the kirk. Only one thing is clear: then as now, ‘Hit’s no aesy livin in a peerie place.’

The Trials of Jesus - Paul Barnett

See the Passion narrative like you’ve never seen it before.  The Gospels describe a complex chain of events from Jesus’s arrest to his crucifixion—interrogations from multiple high priests, a confrontation with Herod the Tetrarch, and finally Pontius Pilate’s unusual hesitancy leading to Jesus’s execution. The narrative raises several questions: Why was Jesus interrogated so many times? Why was he executed not by the high priests, but by the Romans? What are serious readers of Scripture to make of this narrative, central as it is to the Christian faith?  Paul Barnett sheds light on the story behind the Passion, Resurrection, and the subsequent birth of the church. Barnett fills readers in on the four hundred years of history between Malachi and Matthew, setting the geopolitical stage for the very crux of salvation history. With rich context and expert storytelling, The Trials of Jesus will intrigue and enlighten scholars and everyday Christians alike.

Political Order and Political Decay - Francis Fukuyama

In The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama took us from the dawn of mankind to the French and American Revolutions. Here, he picks up the thread again in the second instalment of his definitive account of mankind''s emergence as a political animal.This is the story of how state, law and democracy developed after these cataclysmic events, how the modern landscape - with its uneasy tension between dictatorships and liberal democracies - evolved and how in the United States and in other developed democracies, unmistakable signs of decay have emerged. If we want to understand the political systems that dominate and order our lives, we must first address their origins - in our own recent past as well as in the earliest systems of human government. Fukuyama argues that the key to successful government can be reduced to three key elements: a strong state, the rule of law and institutions of democratic accountability.This magisterial account is required reading for anyone wishing to know more about mankind''s greatest achievements.

The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a set of contemporary thematic readers designed for educators, students, practicing photographers, and others interested in the ways images function within a wider set of cultural practices. The series tracks the many movements and “lives” of images—their tendency to accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies, cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Volume 2 in this series, Analogy, Attunement, and Attention, addresses the complex relationships that the reproducible image creates with its viewers, their bodies, their minds, and their sense of the physical and metaphysical world. The selection addresses the image’s role in the social constitution of individual and collective identity, in social practices of resistance to the structural violences of racism, or in relation to state exercises of power. Of particular importance in this volume are questions of our changing relationship to space and to selfhood as mediated by the image and by the many networked technologies and norms built around it. Essays in the volume ask: what modes of attention are required of us as viewers and agents of image circulation?
