Legal Issues in Special Education
Principles, Policies, and Practices
By Kevin Brady, Charles Russo, Cynthia Dieterich and Allan Osborne, Jr.
Routledge
Even though more than 50 percent of students with disabilities are now educated in general education classes, most teachers are not required to complete coursework in special education law and can unwittingly expose themselves and their schools to liability for violating the rights of students with disabilities. This practitioner’s guide, by associate professor Kevin Brady and colleagues, explicitly addresses the major issues and legal complexities educators inevitably face when dealing with special education legal and policy issues.

Radicals in Exile
English Catholic Books During the Reign of Philip II
By Freddy Cristóbal Dominguez
Penn State University Press
Facing persecution in early modern England, some Catholics chose exile over conformity. Some even cast their lot with foreign monarchs rather than wait for their own rulers to have a change of heart. This book, by assistant professor of history Freddy Dominguez, studies the relationship forged by English exiles and Philip II of Spain. It shows how these expatriates, known as the “Spanish Elizabethans,” used the most powerful tools at their disposal – paper, pens and presses – to incite war against England during the “messianic” phase of Philip’s reign, from the years leading up to the Grand Armada until the king’s death in 1598.
Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath
Place, Race, and Inequality in Disaster Recovery
By Kevin M. Fitzpatrick and Matthew L. Spialek
NYU Press
Hurricane Harvey was one of the worst American natural disasters in recorded history. It ravaged the Texas Gulf Coast, and left thousands of people homeless in its wake. In Hurricane Harvey’s Aftermath, Kevin Fitzpatrick, University Professor of sociology and the Jones Chair in Community, and Matthew L. Spialek, assistant professor of communications, offer first-hand accounts from survivors themselves, providing a rare, on-the-ground perspective of natural disaster recovery. Drawing on interviews from more than 350 survivors, the authors trace the experiences of individuals and their communities, both rich and poor, urban and rural, white, Latinx and Black, and how they navigated the long and difficult road to recovery after Hurricane Harvey
Regulation of Cryptotransactions
By Carol Goforth
West Academic
This book, by University Professor of law Carol Goforth, looks at crypto assets and the expanding world of cryptotransactions to examine how the regulatory regime surrounding these interests is developing. Because the regulatory reaction to crypto is still in the early stages, it is not really possible to create a traditional casebook that focuses only on settled judicial opinions to illustrate relevant legal issues and rules. These materials therefore look at various statutes, rules, and regulatory structures that predate the advent of crypto along with mission and informational statements promulgated by the agencies most closely involved with regulation of cryptotransactions.
Carry
A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land
By Toni Jensen
Penguin Random House
Toni Jensen, assistant professor of English, grew up around guns: As a girl, she learned to shoot birds in rural Iowa with her father, a card-carrying member of the NRA. As an adult, she’s had guns waved in her face near Standing Rock, and felt their silent threat on the concealed-carry campus where she teaches. And she has always known that in this she is not alone. As a Métis woman, she is no stranger to the violence enacted on the bodies of indigenous women, on indigenous land, and the ways it is hidden, ignored, forgotten. In Carry,Jensen maps her personal experience onto the historical, exploring how history is lived in the body and redefining the language we use to speak about violence in America.

Native Land Grants in Colonial New Spain
Ana Pulido Rull University of Oklahoma Press
Between 1536 and 1601, at the request of the colonial administration of New Spain, indigenous artists crafted more than two hundred maps to be used as evidence in litigation over the allocation of land. These land grant maps, or mapas de mercedes de tierras, recorded the boundaries of cities, provinces, towns, and places; they made note of markers and ownership, and, at times, the extent and measurement of each field in a territory, along with the names of those who worked it. Drawing on her own paleography and transcription of case files, author Ana Pulido Rull, associate professor of art, shows how much these maps can tell us about the artists who participated in the lawsuits and about indigenous views of the contested lands.
Transmedia Adaptation in the Nineteenth Century
By Lissette Lopez Szwydky
The Ohio State University Press
How did Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein give rise to the iconic green monster everyone knows today? In 1823, only five years after publication, Shelley herself saw the Creature come to life on stage, and this performance shaped the story’s future. Suddenly, thousands of people who had never read Shelley’s novel were participating in its cultural animation. Similarly, early adaptations magnified the reception and renown of all manner of nineteenth-century literary creations, from Byron and Keats to Dickens and Tennyson and beyond. Yet, until now, adaptation has been seen as a largely modern phenomenon. In Transmedia Adaptation in the Nineteenth Century, Lissette Lopez Szwydky, associate professor of English, convincingly historicizes the practice of adaptation, drawing on multiple disciplines to illustrate narrative mobility across time, culture and geography.
The Enforcers
How Little-Known Trade Reporters Exposed the Keating Five and Advanced Business Journalism
Rob Wells
University of Illinois Press
In the 1980s, real estate developer and banker Charles H. Keating executed one of the largest savings and loans frauds in United States history. Keating had long used the courts to muzzle critical reporting of his business dealings, but aggressive reporting by a small trade paper called the National Thrift News helped bring down Keating and offered an inspiring example of business journalism that speaks truth to power.
