In Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger, the veteran journalist Justin Murphy makes the compelling argument that the educational disparities in Rochester, New York, are the result of historical and present-day racial segregation. Education reform alone will never be the full solution; to resolve racial inequity, cities such as Rochester must first dismantle segregation. Drawing on never-before-seen archival documents as well as scores of new interviews, Murphy shows how discriminatory public policy and personal prejudice combined to create the racially segregated education system that exists in the Rochester area today. Alongside this dismal history, Murphy recounts the courageous fight for integration and equality, from the advocacy of Frederick Douglass in the 1850s to a countywide student coalition inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement in the 2010s. This grinding antagonism, featuring numerous failed efforts to uphold the promise of Brown v. Board of Education, underlines that desegregation and integration offer the greatest opportunity to improve educational and economic outcomes for children of color in the United States. To date, that opportunity has been lost in Rochester, and persistent poor academic outcomes have been one terrible result. Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger is a history of Rochester with clear relevance for today. The struggle for equity in Rochester, like in many northern cities, shows how the burden of history lies on the present. A better future for these cities requires grappling with their troubled pasts. Murphy's account is a necessary contribution to twenty-first-century Rochester.

A vision of a European future of peace and stability despite the present gloom The world appears to be at another major turning point. Tensions between the United States and China threaten a resumption of great power conflict. Global institutions are being tested as never before, and hard-edged nationalism has resurfaced as a major force in both democracies and authoritarian states. From the European perspective, the United States appears to be abdicating its global leadership role. Meanwhile, Moscow and Beijing eagerly exploit every opportunity to pit European partners against one another. But a pivot point also offers the continent an opportunity to grow stronger. In World in Danger, Wolfgang Ischinger, Germany’s most prominent diplomat, offers a vision of a European future of peace and stability. Ischinger examines the root causes of the current conflicts and suggests how Europe can successfully address the most urgent challenges facing the continent. The European Union, he suggests, is poised to become a more powerful actor on the world stage, able to shape global politics while defending the interests of its 500 million citizens. This important book offers a practical vision of a Europe fully capable of navigating these turbulent times.

Every two weeks a language dies. Of the estimated 5,000 languages spoken worldwide, from Cherokee to Cornish, only half are likely to survive to the end of this century. What does this mean for the human race? Will we eventually become a one-language planet? And does it even matter? Andrew Dalby's powerful study shows why language loss affects us all. He explores how languages become extinct: through political power, in the case of Latin engulfing the Ancient Mediterranean; through brute force, such as that used against the Native Americans and Australians; and through economics - as the phenomenal rise of English as the language of business and mass communications shows. This linguistic globalisation means a loss not just of cultural identity and diversity, but also of the unique world-view and acquired local knowledge enshrined in the way we speak. The consequences, Dalby argues, will be devastating - not just for language, but for the future of humankind itself.

New governments established during the third wave of democratization in Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, Africa, and Asia face increasing threats to stabilization and consolidation. Alfred Stepan, a major voice in democratization studies, gathers leading experts in political science and government to better understand what is going wrong and how it can be fixed. The contributors identify and analyze three key problems that endanger these democracies: ethnonational conflicts, domestic security and the role of police and military, and power sharing in presidential and semi-presidential systems. For each of these issues, essays evaluate promising new policies, advance alternatives, and suggest political reforms that could increase the success of democratic governance. Stepan's introduction reflects on why these three critical issues have been neglected or misconceptualized by practitioners and theorists alike. A conclusion by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil, offers unique insight on how to successfully manage and solve these problems. Democracies in Danger is the product of informed and productive dialogue between former prime ministers and presidents of new democracies and leading democratization scholars. It will be essential in setting research agendas and policy discussions for a broad range of scholars and practitioners.

In many ways, my life is complete, or as complete as it can be with aliens roaming Earth, killing and enslaving humans. Jason, my love, is by my side, and my friendship with Wade is back on track. Even better, it seems the threats of annihilation from the aliens have turned out to be nothing but hot air. Yet, despite the peace of our Arrowwood refuge, there is still a war waging outside, something I’ve tried not to think too much about. Just as I’ve ignored the fact that a sanctuary can also be a prison, or a tomb, we are forced to step out of safety and live or die, in danger’s embrace.

Suspense with a killer twist. Aleks survived the disease. He won his way into the tightly-knit island community. But now comes his greatest challenge, can he beat a determined and depraved child snatcher? From award-winning author Jamie Kurow, a master of suspense, comes A boy on an island in danger, a suspenseful thriller about a salacious, terrifying, evil man and the determination it will take to defeat him and save a community, its new way of life and its children."It will be hard for you not to cheer for these simple islanders and for Aleks who has done his best to fit in." Aleks managed when his grandparents died in a measles epidemic during his summer vacation on a small Mediterranean island. At Father Marco's request, another of the island's outsiders cared for him till his parents could come. A mystery disease in Africa and Asia evolved into a pandemic and decimated all except the quarantined island. Aleks continues to hope his parents will come. They don't, but a stranger does. Solomon. On a schooner, with a crew. And Aleks is suspicious. 'We come in peace, ' Solomon assured them. 'We want to live with you.' But trust in outsiders is scarce. Where have they come from? What do they want? Why should we trust them? What if they are diseased? Why should we take the risk? Solomon didn't come in peace. He wanted the islanders' children. He had guns and rocket launchers and he used them. 'We only want ten, ' he said. 'And then we we'll leave you in peace. Deny me and I'll destroy you - and your pretty little village. And I'll destroy all your children.' How will it end? A suspense story for our time. This is the book you've been waiting for. 'I had an advance copy. Loved it. Aleks charmed me. I worried for him. They had it so good and then along came this Solomon. I loved the reality of it, not just the pandemic scene sin the early chapters but the surviving and thriving, accepting that life had changed and eventually accepting it was for the better. There's a message in this book for us all right now I think. I'm recommending this to all of my book buddies.' 'I know Jamie Kurow is close to releasing his next book and I can't wait. I like to be seduced by good story-telling and Jamie Kurow does this from the the first paragraph.' 'All I can say is 'buy this book now, start reading it as soon as you have I, you will not regret it.' I couldn't help asking how close to reality this book could be. And I can't help wondering if there's a sequel.' "Like an island, charmingly romantic, but beneath the surface danger is waiting. Patiently. And like all good suspense stories, the wait will be worth it."
