Just as its nickname, 'cream city', has nothing to do with beer or
dairy, the city of Milwaukee itself is fraught with surprises.
While it is undoubtedly the jovial land of beer and cheese (and
brats, bowling and The Brewers, for that matter) the city is also a
centre for world-class art, architecture, culture and innovation,
and has been since the 1800s. Discover Milwaukee's most unexpected
treasures - visit a 15th century French chapel, or a 425
million-year-old tropical reef. Throw a turkey at the nation's
oldest sanctioned bowling alley. Watch an art museum flap its
wings, or tour the city's only urban cheese factory to find out why
cheese curds squeak. Milwaukee, a city both stunning and charming,
also possesses a dry, self-deprecating wit and goofy cleverness.
Visit 111 amazing places that reveal this unique character, one
that keeps Milwaukee's locals local, and beckons visitors back
again and again.
The compelling story of one of the foremost exponents of authentic
rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll in the world today. Michael
Madden has been given full access to a vast archive of material
charting Mike Sanchez's journey from his Spanish roots through an
eventful 35 year musical career that has seen him progress through
the ranks of the Rockets, the Big Town Playboys and Bill Wyman's
Rhythm Kings to fronting his own band and performing with some of
the biggest names of the rock world including Robert Plant, Eric
Clapton, Mick Fleetwood and Jeff Beck. The text is illuminated with
comments from many friends, fans and fellow musicians, and
generously illustrated with many rare / previously unseen
photographs.
What should public prosecutors do when victims withdraw support for
domestic violence prosecutions? The answer to this question that
motivates the investigation undertaken in this book defends the
claim that (other things being equal) domestic violence prosecutors
should respond as feminists.
This claim is intended as a provocative formulation of the
proposition that domestic violence prosecutors should act for
reasons generated by the value of reconstituting communities as
less patriarchal.
This thesis is defended first by developing a general theory of
prosecutorial practical reasoning, and then by considering the
prosecution of domestic violence offences in particular. Along the
way, this book provides an original account of the nature of
prosecutorial action, the values that can be realized through such
action, and the relationship between these values and the practical
reasoning of criminal prosecutors.
Moreover, it provides original analyses of two key concepts,
domestic violence and patriarchy, and explains the relevance of the
latter to a proper understanding of the former.
These insights are put to work in answering the motivating
question stated above, and provide answers both in terms of what
prosecutors would be justified in doing, and what prosecutors
should do in order to be effective.
