Saving Five
'Saving Five is an extraordinarily moving account of Amanda Nguyen's pursuit of justice and healing for herself and for millions of survivors around the world' Melinda French GatesAstronaut and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen's life was changed forever when she was sexually assaulted as a student at Harvard. Determined not to let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under 'Jane Doe'. But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months before the state destroyed her kit. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change - not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. A heart-wrenching memoir of survival, Saving Five weaves the story of Nguyen's activism with a second, beautifully imagined adventure of Nguyen's younger selves as they navigate through her path toward healing. This is a ground-breaking work that traces Nguyen's moving journey of acceptance and hope. From one of the most influential activists and astronauts of her time, Saving Five is a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action and a resounding cry to change the world.

From Manchester’s backstreets to global dancefloors – the untold story of a musical pioneer.

Pickering has lived through decades of rapid change in popular music. As an influential DJ he introduced house music into the legendary Haçienda. He signed Happy Mondays and James to Factory Records before working with Kasabian, Gossip and Calvin Harris at Sony. His Mercury Prize-winning, multi-million-selling group M People transformed the music industry's attitude to dance music. As he tells his remarkable story he introduces an array of friends and collaborators, many of whom would become important – and sometimes notorious – figures in music history.

It features forewords from some of those Pickering inspired: Martin Fry, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher and Calvin Harris. -- .

Political Philosophy
How to understand a long-standing puzzle in political philosophy: the relationship between justice and legitimacyCan laws be unjust and yet remain, in some sense, morally legitimate? In this book, Jonathan Quong considers central issues in political philosophy through the lens of this single question. He explores and evaluates recent influential work on this topic and then proposes a novel approach of his own. The puzzle at the heart of his account is the phenomenon of legitimate injustice—laws and policies that are substantively unjust yet may be legitimately imposed by government officials. How can such laws be legitimate if, as some have argued, justice is the first virtue of social institution? uong analyzes the work of those who deny that injustice committed by states can be legitimate simply by virtue of its democratic or procedural pedigree; the Kantian account of legitimate institutions and justice; instrumental approaches to political legitimacy; and the recent wave of work in democratic theory focused on its egalitarian character. Arguing that these analyses do not offer an adequate solution to the puzzle and that there are compelling reasons to revise or reject them, Quong lays out his view and explains the implications for more general theories of political morality. He argues that we can explain legitimate injustice by appeal to distributive justice. If political disagreement is inevitable, then unjust legislation is largely unavoidable; it constitutes a burden that must be distributed according to just principles. Quong’s novel and illuminating framework offers a unique introduction to crucial questions in political philosophy.
