Lethal Injection and the False Promise of Humane Execution
The Future of Decline
Anglo-American Culture at Its Limits Jed Esty
Austin Sarat
The debate over the US's fading hegemony has raged and spu�ered for 50 years, glu�ng the market with prophecies about American decline. As the US becomes a second-place na�on, can it shed the superpower nostalgia that s�ll haunts the UK? STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
This book tells the story of lethal injec�on's earliest itera�ons in the United States, star�ng with New York state's rejec�on of that execu�on method almost a century and half ago. With a history marked by incompetence, poli�cal maneuvering, and secrecy, America's "most humane" execu�on method is anything but. STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Academic Outsider
How to Live at the End of the World
Stories of Exclusion and Hope Victoria Reyes
Theory, Art, and Politics for the Anthropocene Travis Holloway
Many enter the academy with dreams of doing good; this is a book about how the ins�tu�on fails them, especially if they are considered "outsiders." Reyes confronts the impossibility of success in the midst of compe�ng and contradictory needs—from naviga�ng coded language, to balancing professional expecta�ons with care-taking responsibili�es, to comba�ng the literal exclusions of outmoded and hierarchical rules. Her searing commentary takes on, with sensi�vity and fury, the urgent call for academic jus�ce. STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Assessing the dawn of the Anthropocene era, a poet and philosopher asks: How do we live at the end of the world? How to Live at the End of the World is a hopeful explora�on of how we might inherit the name "Anthropocene," renarrate it, and revise our way of life or thought in view of it.
