Hardback. Condition: Good. The Glock pistol is America's Gun. It has been rhapsodized by hip-hop artists and coveted by cops and crooks alike. Created in 1982 by Gaston Glock, the pistol arrived in America at a fortuitous time. Law enforcement agencies had concluded that their agents and officers, armed with standard six-round revolvers, were getting outgunned by drug dealers with semi-automatic pistols; they needed a new gun. With its lightweight plastic frame and large-capacity spring-action magazine, the Glock was the gun of the future. You could drop it underwater, toss it from a helicopter, or leave it out in the snow, and it would still fire. It was reliable, accurate, lightweight, and cheaper to produce than Smith and Wesson's revolver. Filled with corporate intrigue, political maneuvering, Hollywood glitz, bloody shoot-outs--and an attempt on Gaston Glock's life by a former lieutenant--Glock is not only the inside account of how Glock the company went about marketing its pistol to police agencies and later the public, but also a compelling chronicle of the evolution of gun culture in America. …

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In this eloquent and suspenseful work of nonfiction, Paul M. Barrett goes into the minefields of corporate America and inside our legal system to tell the story of one man's journey across racial lines.Taught to believe that he was a human being first, an American second, and a black third, Larry Mungin grew up with the credo that if you played by the rules, you'd succeed. His pursuit of the American Dream took him from a Queens housing project to Harvard Law School to the Washington, D.C., office of Katten Muchin & Zavis, a blue-chip Chicago law firm, where he worked toward achieving a coveted partnership.It didn't happen. In the fall of 1994, brushed off by senior partners who weren't even considering him for partnership, Mungin hired an upstart black firm to sue his employer. Katten Muchin & Zavis retaliated by mounting the best defense money could buy. The jury's verdict made headlines from coast to coast; the final ruling on appeal was even more startling.Was Mungin a victim of racial discrimination, business-as-usual mismanagement, or changes in the legal marketplace? At once a gripping courtroom drama and an intimate account of the forces that drove one man to risk everything for his ideals, The Good Black challenges us to make up our own minds and to see in Larry Mungin's story the deeper, far-reaching implications of racial discrimination in our time.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. The gripping story of one American lawyer's obsessive crusade--waged at any cost--against Big Oil on behalf of the poor farmers and indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest. Steven Donziger, a self-styled social activist and Harvard educated lawyer, signed on to a budding class action lawsuit against multinational Texaco (which later merged with Chevron to become the third-largest corporation in America). The suit sought reparations for the Ecuadorian peasants and tribes people whose lives were affected by decades of oil production near their villages and fields. During twenty years of legal hostilities in federal courts in Manhattan and remote provincial tribunals in the Ecuadorian jungle, Donziger and Chevron's lawyers followed fierce no-holds-barred rules. Donziger, a larger-than-life, loud-mouthed showman, proved himself a master orchestrator of the media, Hollywood, and public opinion. He cajoled and coerced Ecuadorian judges on the theory that his noble ends justified any means of persuasion. And in the end, he won an unlikely victory, a $19 billion judgment against Chevon--the biggest environmental damages award in history. But the company refused to surrender or compromise. Instead, Chevron targeted Donziger personally, and its counter-attack revealed damning evidence of his politicking and manipulation of evidence. Suddenly the verdict, and decades of Donziger's single-minded pursuit of the case, began to unravel. Written with the texture and flair of the best narrative nonfiction, Law of the Jungle is an unputdownable story in which there are countless victims, a vast region of ruined rivers and polluted rainforest, but very few heroes.…
