Care ethics is further applied to issues such as security, privacy, law, and health care where little work has been done, and the contributing authors show how care ethics can guide and learn from other traditions.

<\/a>The protagonist in Stevens\u2019 novel is campaign manager J.D. Callahan whose candidate is Hilda Smith, the country\u2019s first female presidential candidate who is disliked \u2013 even hated \u2013 by many. She\u2019s running neck-and-neck with an anti-immigrant, right-wing populist. Smith represents the establishment in an anti-establishment year \u2014 and she\u2019s in a dead heat with a non-politician running for elected office for the first time. Stevens is a veteran of numerous campaigns, including Mitt Romney\u2019s. Said Stevens, \u201cWhen I wrote this book, I thought I was pushing things out to the edge to give us a sense of what could happen and also for comic effect. I finished it over a year ago. I think I probably underplayed reality.\u201d Published by Alfred A. Knopf, 2016.<\/i><\/p>\nThe Tolling of Mercedes Bell<\/b><\/h3>\n

\nAnnotated Translation <\/b><\/h3>\n<\/a>The Codex of Justinian is the most extensive collection of imperial laws to survive from antiquity. It compiles legal pronouncements stretching from the second to the sixth centuries C.E. and in its day served as a sort of constitution for the late Roman Empire. The Codex had never yet been translated into English in a credible way until a Wyoming supreme court justice, Fred H. Blume, completed the task in the 1920s. His typescript was left unpublished in the law library of the University of Wyoming until Lenski and an international team edited and revised the text for publication in three volumes. Lenski teaches classics and history at Yale. Published by Cambridge University Press, 2016.<\/i><\/p>\nGreen & Blue<\/b><\/h3>\n

Says Irish Music Magazine<\/i>: \u201cBoth are excellent musicians of the first water. There is wonderful variety in the tunes and songs. And, how can you not love an Irish album that ends with Sam Cooke\u2019s \u2018Nothing Can Change This Love?\u2019 Complexity, directness, and a deep love for Irish traditional music and its history, The Hydes bring it all.\u201d Produced by Hyde Music Productions HYDECD1, 2016.<\/i><\/p>\nIncarceration Nation<\/b><\/h3>\n
<\/a>The rise of mass incarceration in the U.S. is one of the most critical outcomes of the last half-century, and this book, subtitled \u201cHow the United States became the Most Punitive Democracy in the World,\u201d offers a compelling explanation. Enns, a professor at Cornell University and executive director of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, combines in-depth analysis of Goldwater and Nixon\u2019s presidential campaigns with 60 years of data analysis. Enns shows that from the 1960s through 1990s, politicians responded to an increasingly punitive public by pushing policy in a more punitive direction. Recent changes in public attitudes is promoting current bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform. Published by Cambridge University Press, 2016.<\/i><\/p>\nThe Penelope Project<\/b><\/h3>\n
<\/a>Subtitled \u201cAn Arts-Based Odyssey to Change Elder Care,\u201d the book illustrates the impact of community-based arts on the transformation of a long-term care institution\u2019s culture. At Milwaukee\u2019s Luther Manor, staff, residents, and volunteers traded bingo cards for \u201cThe Odyssey.\u201d They embarked on a two-year project to examine this ancient story from the perspective of the hero who never left home: Penelope, wife of Odysseus. The team staged a play that engaged everyone and transcended the limits not just of old age and disability but also youth, institutional regulations, and disciplinary boundaries.

Care Ethics and Political Theory<\/b><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/a>\u201cJustice, Care, and the Welfare State\u201d addresses questions such as what role, if any, states should play in supporting families.
