The abuse of workers in export processing zones in developing countries, the undignified treatment of elderly people in care homes, and the dangers for internet users' privacy arising from private companies' control of their data are prominent examples of how our most fundamental interests are increasingly jeopardized by powerful private actors. Jean Thomas argues that, while these interests are protected by human and constitutional rights in relation to the state, no similar protections exist in relations among private actors. To address this problem, she develops a theoretical framework for the application of human and constitutional rights among private actors. The author proposes a theory of private liability for public rights violations that allows us to answer the question: who should bear the duties associated with human and constitutional rights in the private sphere? And what do private actors owe one another in respect of the interests protected by these rights? In advancing a model of rights that makes the application of public rights among private actors morally plausible and institutionally feasible, the book also illuminates the broader conceptual question of what rights are.

Eve Warren made a sworn promise—she'd never tell the FBI her real connection to mob informant Charlie Fowler. When he's found dead, we-have-ways-to-make-you-talk agent Sam McDonough wants to know everything. But as the gruff, gorgeous G-man escorts Eve from the Yukon for questioning, their chopper is shot down, crashing in the frozen Canadian wilderness. Suddenly, Sam's memory is gone—and he's not the same man. Sam doesn't remember much, but he trusts this "angel" by his side. As he and Eve battle the elements—and dangerous thugs determined to kill them both—he knows their survival depends on the most tentative trust…and huddling very close together for warmth.

All he knows is that the only woman who's ever broken down his defenses needs his help. Now, to find the truth and elude a killer, Mark and Clare will have to work together—and risk being burned by the growing heat consuming them both.

While investigating the activities of Marcus Bradley—a powerful billionaire commissioning a series of Brenna's paintings—Casey discovers the island's darkest atrocity. With Brenna at his side, he can't ignore the love they once felt—and still feel—for one another. But as Casey keeps close watch on Brenna, one question remains uncertain: Who is keeping close watch on them?

This classic work by Jean Thomas, "the traipsin woman," is a wonderful introduction to an Appalachian culture that was already disappearing even as Thomas attempted, valiantly, to document it. Jean Thomas writes about the history of the Blue Ridge country as well as the traditions of its people, their songs and dances and superstitions and tall tales. This book is a wonderfully written look at a fascinating part of America. Not to be missed!
