The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One in every 15 people born there today is expected to go to prison. For black men this figure rises to one in 3. And Death Row is disproportionately black, too.Bryan Stevenson grew up poor in the racially segregated South. His innate sense of justice made him a brilliant young lawyer, and one of his first defendants was Walter McMillian, a black man sentenced to die for the murder of a white woman - a crime heinsisted he didn't commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, startling racialinequality, and legal brinkmanship - and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.At once an unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer's coming of age and a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended, Just Mercy is an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.

Written in 1966, 'Tarantula' is a collection of poems and prose that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written, and gives a unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution.'The good samaritan coming in with the words round & round we go tattoed on his cheek / he tells the senator to stop insulting the lawyer.''Tarantula' captures Bob Dylan's preoccupations at a crucial juncture in his artistic development, showcasing the antic imagination of a folk poet laureate who was able to combine the humanity and compassion of his country roots with the playfulsurrealism of modern art. Angry, funny and strange, the poems and prose in this collection reflect the concerns we find in Dylan's most seminal music: a sense of protest, a verbal playfulness and spontaneity, and a belief in the artistic legitimacy ofchronicling everyday life and eccentricity on the street.'Tarantula' never made its publication date in Autumn 1966. To the delays added by Dylan's constant revisions was added the greater complication of his motorcyle accident - which left him with still undisclosed injuries and kept the book from publicationuntil 1971. In the interim, it became a cult phenomenon, with 'bookleg' editions photocopied from reviewer proofs circulating throughout the musical and literary demi-mondes. Reissued to coincide with the paperback release of 'Chronicles Volume 1','Tarantula' will finally find the wider audience it deserves.

Richard Bowmaster-a 60-year-old human rightsscholar-hits the car of Evelyn Ortega-a young, undocumented immigrant from Guatemala-in the middle of a snowstorm in Brooklyn. What at first seems just a small inconvenience takes an unforeseen and far more serious turn when Evelyn turns up at theprofessor's house seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant Lucia Maraz-a 62-year-old lecturer from Chile-for her advice. These three very different people are brought together in a mesmerizing story that moves from present-day Brooklyn toGuatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil, sparking the beginning of a long overdue love story between Richard and Lucia.Exploring the timely issues of human rights and the plight of immigrants and refugees, the book recalls Allende's landmark novel The House of the Spirits in the way it embraces the cause of humanity, and it does so with passion, humor, and wisdom thattranscend politics (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post).

The Skin of our Teeth deals with human survival in a 'comic strip' way, and The Matchmaker is a hilarious farcewhich urges rebellion against all the constraints that deny a rich, full life
