Dead Right is a novel based around the life of a homicide investigator with the New York City Police Department. The story is a snapshot of one week of his life that defines Jay Vincent as a detective. The department has closed his last case prematurely, at least in Jay's mind. There are loose ends and unanswered questions that he feels still need to be looked at. But, Jay is forced to move on to other investigations. It's at this time, Jay gets a call from a friend in the FBI-Ed Cooper-to consult on an investigation in Miami. Jay's supervisor-Captain Burke-doesn't want to release him from his responsibilities in New York. So, Ed Cooper uses his contacts at the Bureau to go over Burke's head. In Miami, Jay finds himself squarely in the killer's path. What he thought would be a few days of fun in the sun turns out to be the biggest challenge of his career to date. The city of Miami is turned upside down as the killer releases his vengeance on the local police. Just as Jay and Cooper think they have a handle on this situation, the case goes off the rails. No target is out of reach for this suspect. Even working in concert with the FBI and the locals, the case turns on Jay's ability alone. The unanswered question now is whether Jay will be coming back from Miami.

A career-spanning selection of the legendary reporter David Carr's writing for the New York Times, Washington City Paper, New York Magazine, the Atlantic, and more.

Museums and libraries inspire us to cross the limits of routine thought, into experiences of reflection and possibility. Each of the essays in A Place Not a Place examines the ways these and other cultural institutions influence us and proposes ways to strengthen their roles as advocates for critical thinking and inquiry.

This title provides a contemporary introduction to the key issues in educational philosophy and theory. Exploring developments as well as important ideas from the 20th century, this book aims to make philosophy of education relevant to everyday practice for teachers.

Often museums or libraries have the power to profoundly alter our sense of ourselves and of the world around us, but that power carries with it obligations. This work challenges us to contemplate both the effects and the responsibilities, and also to examine carefully the nuances of these experiences.

Edmund Husserl's importance for the philosophy of our century is immense, but his influence has followed a curious path. More recently, some philosophers within that tradition have drawn on certain of Husserl's central concepts (intentionality, the noema) in addressing problems in the philosophy of mind and the theory of meaning.

In this respect, the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy can claim a unique role among academic organizations in this country. The Society has grown considerably since its founding, and its annual meetings attract scholars in philosophy and other disciplines from across the country and abroad.

Cultural institutions must reimagine their roles as education facilities for their communities and address the public need for conversations in safe and fair places, thereby renewing their essential place in democratic society.

Examines the paradox between Husserl's transcendental philosophy and his later historicist theory. Rejecting the arguments of earlier critics, this book proposes a model of the transcendental philosopher who balances historical reduction with a strict mind of historical context.
