To a basic civilization, advanced science can seem like magic. What happens when magic seems like advanced science? It depends on who is the observer and who is the observed. John Crackstone and his Science Officer, Tem, accidentally become trapped on a cloaked planet on their way to a priority first contact mission. This planet and its unusual inhabitants change Crackstone's original mission, as well as the current time line of the universe. The Ambassador comes face to face with the mysterious "Time Keepers" race; Crackstone's civilization is a class three, the Time Keepers are at least a class six. The final installment of the Crackstone Chronicle trilogy answers the question of how an Ambassador from a system in the Andromeda Galaxy relates to two humans, an omniscient, immortal race called the "Time Keepers" and why scores of alien civilizations become interested in twentieth century Earth. The three novels of the Crackstone Chronicles, Extinction, Connections and Extraordinary Solution carry the reader through time and space, exploring the question: why would extraterrestrials visit Earth, let alone conceal themselves here?

We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

This fascinating book recounts the compelling stories behind 14 of the most important criminal procedure cases in American legal history. Many constitutional protections that Americans take for granted today—the right to exclude illegally obtained evidence, the right to government-financed counsel, and the right to remain silent, among others—were not part of the original Bill of Rights, but were the result of criminal trials and judicial interpretations. The untold stories behind these cases reveal circumstances far more interesting than any legal dossier can evoke. Author J. Michael Martinez provides a brief introduction to the drama and intrigue behind 14 leading court cases in American law. This engaging text presents a short summary of high-profile legal proceedings from the late 19th century through recent times and includes key landmark cases in which the court established the parameters of probable cause for searches, the features of due process, and the legality of electronic surveillance. The work offers concise explanations and analysis of the facts as well as the lasting significance of the cases to criminal procedure.

Although Hell can be portrayed as a vivid tangible landscape, in reality it's a mental backdrop. Loss of self respect and worth as well as a loss of purpose can plunge a person into his own hell on many levels. This tale explores the theme of loss and redemption by following two characters separated in time by four generations, each man dealing with a life crisis. One story, set in the later half of the nineteenth century, follows a white orphan boy raised by people of mixed race. He has never reconciled his self hatred, nor his love-hate relationship with the land that formed him. Set in the current time, the parallel story begins as four friends go on a hunting trip together. An unexpected storm triggers an accident, and leaves the four men stranded. The two stories intertwine through the experiences of the contemporary character, John, and his direct ancestor, Paul. During the contemporary hunting group's search for a way out of the unfamiliar woods, they are attacked, apparently by a group of ragged men dressed in nineteenth century clothes. John is wounded. As his friends try in vain to find civilization, John realizes that the increasingly strange events stem from a one hundred and fifty year old conflict that somehow centers around him. Whether he is hallucinating from injuries sustained in the original van wreck, or from injuries one hundred and fifty years old, he must resolve his ancestor's past conflicts to resolve his own.

Presents a woman-centered, class-sensitive way of understanding motherhood and the family in the face of scientific advances in genetics and fertility technology. Claims that the real needs of people in families have been swept aside in an attempt to reduce the complex process of human reproduction to a clinical event controlled by medical technology. Suggests ways to accomplish social and legal changes that would allow technological advances and evolving gender roles to affirm the mother-child relationship without cost to women's identities. This edition contains a new chapter on how advances in reproductive technology and genetics combine with new marketing to pose troubling social questions. Originally published in 1989 by W. W. Norton and Company. The author teaches sociology at the City University of New York. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
