"Too Late To Kill Me So" takes the reader into the courtroom where a riveting murder trial is taking place and where every reader must grapple with his and her own determinations about the death penalty and the guilt of the defendant. Citing the poet, John Donne, the author shows us that no man is an island--and each of us confront our own truths about the value of life--and death.

Reclaiming the Ivory Tower examines the situation of adjunct professors in U.S. higher education today, describes the process of organizing them to improve their conditions of work, and puts forward an agenda around which adjunct labor can mobilize and transform the universities.In the last twenty years, higher education in the United States has been eroded by massive reliance on temporary academic labor--professors without tenure or prospect of tenure, without benefits, working without offices or research assistance, often commuting between several campuses, and paid a fraction of the salaries of the tenured colleagues. Contingent faculty now constitutes the majority of faculty at U.S. colleges and universities.
