The Blue Norther
ISBN: 9781475237221 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom has it that by increasing the pressure on a subject population, the amount of aberrant behavior increases. This is a little story about six or seven people involved in an incident that took place the night before New Year's Eve on the north end of an apartment complex in Dallas after a norther slammed into the place. There aren't many characters; their names are obviously fictional; and some are constructs. But never doubt, gentle reader, that the events recounted in my little piece are factual. Some of my characters bear a curious similarilty to the leads in "Casablanca"...

ISBN: 9781480230620 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prisons are usually not a topic for a book but when a woman worked in a non-traditional field in the late 60's and 70's, there is a story to be told-the glass ceiling, discrimination, minorities, and should give young women knowledge about the barriers broken before them.

Chief of Police
ISBN: 9780865349605 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard CdeBaca's tenure as chief of the New Mexico State Police was a brief and controversial end to a long, productive career. Notes recorded by CdeBaca during decades as a state policeman reflect dramatic changes in how governors, legislatures, the courts, prisons and the press changed within an evolving society. It wasn't always tidy. CdeBaca remains an ardent supporter of police, but author David Roybal prods the long-time cop into telling concessions. Civil rights, as they are defined today, did not get in the way of daily patrols. CdeBaca acknowledges that State Police at times were...

Based on first-hand knowledge, prodigious research and hitherto unpublished sources, Policing Notting Hill also records Tony Moore's time as Divisional Commander at what Roger...
