Cain v. Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama
by Rabbi Dan OrnsteinEnter the packed courtroom and take your seat as a juror on the Cain v. Abel trial. Soon, the prosecution and defense attorneys (angels from Jewish legend) will call Cain, Abel, Sin, Adam, Eve, and God to the witness stand to present their perspectives on the world&’s first murder. Great Jewish commentators throughout the ages will also offer contradictory testimony on Cain&’s emotional, societal, and spiritual influences. As jurors, when we mete out Cain&’s punishment, must we factor in his family history, psychological makeup, and the human impulse to sin? In this highly eclectic and gripping compilation of insights by Jewish commentators on the Cain and Abel story, courtroom scenes are juxtaposed with the author&’s commentary, advancing novel insights and introspection. As each of us grapples with Cain&’s actions, we confront our own darkest traits. If Cain is a symbol for all humanity, what can we do to avoid becoming like him? Furthering this conversation, Rabbi Dan Ornstein includes a discussion and activity guide to promote open dialogue about human brokenness and healing, personal impulses, and societal responsibility.
Cain, Abel, and the Politics of God: An Agambenian reading of Genesis 4:1-16 (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Biblical Criticism)
by Julián Andrés González HolguínThe Genesis story of Cain’s murder of Abel is often told as a simplistic contrast between the innocence of Abel and the evil of Cain. This book subverts that reading of the Biblical text by utilising Giorgio Agamben’s concepts of homo sacer, the state of exception and the idea of sovereignty to re-examine this well-known tale of fratricide and bring to the fore its political implications. <P><P>Drawing from political theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, this book creates a theoretical framework from which to do two things: firstly, to describe and analyse the history of interpretation of Genesis 4:1-16, and secondly to propose an alternative reading of the Biblical text that incorporates other texts inside and outside of the Biblical canon. This intertextual analysis will highlight the motives of violence, law, divine rule, and the rejected as they emerge in different contexts and will evaluate them in an Agambenian framework. <P><P>The unique approach of this book makes it vital reading for any academic with interests in Biblical Studies and Theology and their interactions with politics and ethics.
Calderón de cuerpo entero
by Julio Scherer GarcíaEn la plenitud de sus facultades como periodista y escritor, Julio Scherer García entrega un nuevo libro sobre el presidente en turno, que no sólo lo muestra "de cuerpo entero" sino que explica por qué durante el presente sexenio México ha vivido una de sus peores crisis, sumido en el estancamiento económico, el crecimiento de la pobreza, la corrupción y la violencia. «La política del presidente Calderón lo ha llevado por caminos peligrosos. Ante la historia es ya un hombre en entredicho.» En este libro Julio Scherer García exhibe una serie de documentos irrebatibles que muestran los ilícitos sobre los cuales tanto se ha hablado en torno al controvertido proceso que llevó a Felipe Calderón a la Presidencia de la República. Asimismo, propone un retrato completo de quien ha gobernado este país durante los últimos cinco años con los resultados que todos conocemos, reuniendo testimonios comprometedores y categóricos sobre el comportamiento discutible, por decir lo menos, del actual mandatario. El reportero, acucioso y consciente de la relevancia de su indagación periodística, se conjuga en estas páginas con el escritor dueño de su oficio y siempre comprometido con su experiencia personal, lo que le permite arrojar luz sobre temas como la traición o la muerte, tan presentes en este recuento terminante acerca de un presidente que concluye su mandato en medio de la desolación y la violencia.
Calibrating Colonial Crime: Reparations and The Crime of Unjust Enrichment
by Joshua CastellinoThis profound book by leading socio-legal scholar Joshua Castellino offers a fresh perspective on the lingering legacies of colonization. While decolonization liberated territories, it left the root causes of historical injustice unaddressed. Governance change did not address past wrongs and transferred injustice through political and financial architectures.Castellino presents a five-point plan aimed at system redress through reparations that addresses the colonially induced climate crisis through equitable and sustainable means. In highlighting the structural legacy of colonial crimes, Castellino provides insights into the complexities of contemporary societies, showing how legal frameworks could foster a fairer, more just world.

Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of America's Worst-Run State
by Steve HiltonSteve Hilton tackles the (literally) burning question: What will it take to save California?California is a "model for the nation," Governor Gavin Newsom keeps telling us. "We're following a formula for success." In Califailure, Hilton compellingly captures exactly where this far-left experiment has gone fundamentally—catastrophically—wrong.Great cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland collapsed into squalor as crime and homelessness were allowed to explode. The state that used to pride itself as the home of innovation and opportunity became the state with the worst rate of poverty, highest unemployment, and most hostile business climate in America—as well as the highest taxes.How did this happen, and what is needed to turn things around? Hilton identifies the nine key "pathologies"—from Elitism to Cronyism to Narcissism—that define the ideology at the heart of California's decline. And he lays out a comprehensive program of policy reform ("CaliFuture") that will restore the Golden State to its rightful place as the very best of America.Californians are starting to wake up from the long and fitful nightmare. In 2024 far-left politicians were removed from leadership positions in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Proposition 36, which in the words of its proponents "makes crime illegal again," passed overwhelmingly with majorities in every county.Califailure is what happens when Democrats get everything they want. Increasingly, it's not what Californians want. This book explains why America must reject it, too.
California Business: Law and Legal Environment
by Kim Tyler Walter Roy Huber William McGrathPublished in 2018, this newest edition of California Business Law has undergone major C-ID renovations, including the title. It is now the 5th edition of California Business Law (Legal Environment of Business). <p><p>There is a reason for this change, that includes among other things a mandate from the Community College Chancellor’s Office (Senate) regulating the material necessary to include in a Business Law or Legal Environment of Business book in order to qualify it for transfer to the Cal-State or UC System. They have adopted a “universal” C-ID numbering system of 120 (Business Law) and 125 (Legal Environment). Although not all community colleges use this numbering system, they are required to adhere to the topics enumerated in the list.
