Maybe it's the heritage, but Uncle Thomas Sullivan and niece
Catherine Astolfo have always had a penchant for telling stories.
Like their Southern Irish ancestors, their tales reflect both the
light and dark of this world. Some of them will leave you laughing,
while others will make you cry. All of them are a small slice of
reality, exploring the human condition in its many permutations.
Catherine Astolfo is the author of The Emily Taylor Mystery novel
series and Sweet Karoline, a standalone, all published by Imajin
Books. In 2012, she won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Short Crime
Story in Canada. "What Kelly Did," first published by NorthWord
Literary magazine, is included in this collection.

Chronicles several years in the life of Thomas Sullivan, who
enlisted in the British Army in 1775, fought in the Revolution, and
deserted to join American forces in 1778. The journal covers about
three and a half years. Sullivan participated in events inc
Topics such as military tribunals, same-sex marriage, informative
privacy, reproductive rights, affirmative action, and states'
rights fill the landscape of contemporary legal debate and media
discussion, and they all fall under the umbrella of the Due Process
Clauses of the United States Constitution. However, what is not
always fully understood is the constitutional basis of these
rights, or the exact list of due process rights as they have
evolved over time through judicial interpretation. In The Arc of
Due Process in American Constitutional Law, Sullivan and Massaro
describe the intricate history of what are currently considered due
process rights, and maintain that modern constitutional theory and
practice must adhere to it. The authors focus on the origins and
contemporary uses of due process principles in American
constitutional law, while offering an overarching description of
the factors or normative concepts that allow courts to invalidate a
government action on the grounds of due process. They also analyze
judicial interpretations and expressions as a key manner and
perhaps the most powerful source of how due process has taken form
in the United States. In the process of charting this arc, the
authors describe the judicial analysis of rights within each
category applying an illustrative list, and identify several
fundamental norms that span these disparate threads of due process
and the most salient principles that animate due process doctrine.
Why do we protect free speech? What values does it serve? How has
the Supreme Court interpreted the First Amendment? What has the
Court gotten right and wrong? Why are current debates over free
expression often so divisive? How can we do better? In this
succinct but comprehensive and scholarly book, authors Len Niehoff
and Thomas Sullivan tackle these pressing questions. Free Speech:
From Core Values to Current Debates traces the development and
evolution of the free speech doctrine in the Supreme Court and
explores how the Court - with varying levels of success - has
applied that doctrinal framework to "hard cases" and current
controversies, such as those involving hate speech, speech on the
internet, speech on campus, and campaign finance regulation. This
is the perfect volume for anyone - student, general reader, or
scholar - looking for an accessible overview of this critical
topic.

The Handbook takes as its subject the complex phenomenon of
Christian monasticism. It addresses, for the first time in one
volume, the multiple strands of Christian monastic practice.
Forty-four essays consider historical and thematic aspects of the
Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Protestant, and
Anglican traditions, as well as contemporary 'new monasticism'. The
essays in the book span a period of nearly two thousand years-from
late ancient times, through the medieval and early modern eras, on
to the present day. Taken together, they offer, not a narrative
survey, but rather a map of the vast terrain. The intention of the
Handbook is to provide a balance of some essential historical
coverage with a representative sample of current thinking on
monasticism. It presents the work of both academic and monastic
authors, and the essays are best understood as a series of
loosely-linked episodes, forming a long chain of enquiry, and
allowing for various points of view. The authors are a diverse and
international group, who bring a wide range of critical
perspectives to bear on pertinent themes and issues. They indicate
developing trends in their areas of specialisation. The individual
contributions, and the volume as a whole, set out an agenda for the
future direction of monastic studies. In today's world, where there
is increasing interest in all world monasticisms, where scholars
are adopting more capacious, global approaches to their
investigations, and where monks and nuns are casting a fresh eye on
their ancient traditions, this publication is especially timely.
