When Jeff Buckley drowned at the age of thirty in 1997, he not only left behind a legacy of brilliant music -- he brought back haunting memories of his father, '60s troubadour Tim Buckley, a gifted musician who barely knew his son and who himself died at twenty-eight. Both father and son made transcendent music that mixed rock, jazz, and folk; both amassed a cadre of obsessive, adoring fans. This absorbing dual biography -- based on interviews with more than one hundred friends, family members, and business associates as well as access to journals and unreleased recordings -- tells for the first time the intriguing, often heartbreaking story of these two musicians. It offers a new understanding of the Buckleys' parallel lives -- and tragedies -- while exploring the changing music business between the '60s and the '90s. Finally, it tells the story of a father and son, two complex, enigmatic men who died searching for themselves and each other.

Rethinking Community Sanctions: Social Justice and Penal Control
redresses the invisibility of community sanctions in a popular
imaginary dominated by the prison, resulting in their being seen as
‘not prison’, ‘not punishment’, a ‘let off’, or
expression of mercy. Based on insights from interviews with key
participants in 3 Australian jurisdictions, case studies of
selected programmes and policies, and the international literature,
the authors focus on the effects of community sanctions among
groups vulnerable to penal control: First Nations peoples, women,
and those with disabilities, along with those at the intersections
of these groups. Arguing that developing a better, more democratic
politics around community sanctions requires coming to terms with
the wider carceral web in which vulnerable groups are ensnared,
they demonstrate the importance of connecting criminal legal system
struggles with broader movements for community control,
self-determination, and sovereignty.

In God and Mystery in Words, David Brown uses the way in which
poetry and drama have in the past opened people to the possibility
of religious experience as a launch pad for advocating less wooden
approaches to Christian worship today. So far, from encouraging
imagination and exploration, hymns and sermons now more commonly
merely consolidate belief. Again, contemporary liturgy in both its
music and its ceremonial fails to take seriously either current
dramatic theory or the sociology of ritual. Yet this was not always
so. Poetry and drama, Brown suggests, grew out of religion, and
therefore that creative potential needs to be rediscovered by
religion.
