This ground-breaking, engaging, highly accessible new book acknowledges this reality and brings to light the importance of studying the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality, both as elements of personal identity and as sources of social inequality.

Families: A Sociological Perspective is an exciting new text from David Newman that successfully connects to students’ personal lives while showing how sociologists understand and explain families. It is not only informative in terms of current sociological knowledge of families, but meaningful in terms of contemporary family debates and applicable to students’ own family experiences. "What Does it All Mean?", "Going Global", and "See for Yourself" sections appear throughout the text allowing students to think and actively "do" sociology like sociologists to explore theoretical concepts to better understand their own family lives as well as those of others.

Over a quarter of a century has passed since the last person was hanged in Britain. Following the abolition of capital punishment in 1965 the secrets of the execution chamber were consigned to history, but due to changes in the secrecy laws a hangman is now able to tell the story of the work of public executioners and of the last moments of those who dropped to their deaths on the gallows. Syd Dernley's "hidden life" began on 29th March 1949, when he watched James Farrell hang at Birmingham's Winson Green Prison, and during the next four years he assisted in over 20 hangings. He was present at the execution of Timothy John Evans, the only man ever granted a posthumous free pardon. He recalls the differing behaviour of the condemned men - the frightened and the brave, and he reveals the nightmare that haunts every executioner - the hanging where things went wrong.

The Arab-Israeli conflict has been a major focus of world attention for over 40 years. Central to this conflict is the issue of the West Bank - occupied by Israel since 1967 - and the future and respective rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. This book concentrates on the main points of contention between the two peoples, set within a broader politico-geographical framework. Particular attention is paid to the issues of demography and territory. The analysis is brought right up to date with a discussion of the implications of the recent Palestinian uprising (Intifadeh). The final chapter compares the wide range of solutions that have been proposed for ending the conflict.

Humor, depression, anger, loss, and spiritual transcendence. David Jonathan Newman's first collection of poems, Pure Luck and Good Fury, artfully delves into the fragile state of the human condition. Provocative sentiment and satisfying imagery join forces to wage a war of words that is at once terrifyingly beautiful and painful. Pure Luck and Good Fury is a powerful first personal statement. The fire and grace of Newman's poems heralds a new era for contemporary American poetry.

Boundaries, Territory and Postmodernity (Routledge Studies in Geopolitics)

Contributions to this collection seek to determine the extent to which states and boundaries have, in fact, disappeared, or are simply changing their functions as we move from an era of fixed territories into a post-Westphalian territorial system. A group of international political geographers and political scientists examine the changing nature of the state, pointing to significant changes on the one hand, but equally noting the continued importance of territory and boundaries in determining the political ordering of the post-modern world.
