This book offers a history of extradition cases as well as a general discussion of extradition. "Extradition means the transfer of someone from one country to another for the purpose of prosecution or punishment for an offense of which they have been convicted. In general, extradition is only possible if there is an extradition agreement between the two countries in question. ...Individual countries also have specific rules about extradition. Most nations do not allow extradition for the purpose only of criminal investigation. Most nations also require some proof of guilt of the person requested. They also require that the alleged offense be punishable as a crime in the rested nation." -from The Authors' Introduction

This book describes the history of and behind the preferential option for the poor, especially through an exploration of the history and development of Liberation Theology. "Since traditional Christianity, and especially Catholicism, were not revolution-minded, Liberation Theology would have to fabricate a new theology which not only allowed, but assisted, in the destruction of the old society and creation of the new." -James Biser Whisker and John R. Coe

"It would be difficult to find a more important subject to study than James Wilson. He was one of only a few men who signed both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. He was the only one who served in both the Constitutional Convention and the Pennsylvania Ratification Convention. One of the most prominent lawyers of his time, Wilson was one of the most prolific speakers at the Constitutional Convention, rising to address the convention some 168 times. Wilson supported proportional representation, greater popular control of governance, and a strong national government." -from the Introduction

This book provides a history of piracy. "Traditional piracy is a crime of ancient origin.... It has existed as long as there have been ships at sea because pirates have sought to steal from them. Internationally, laws against piracy have ancient origins, too, but advanced technical law developed chiefly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with codification in treaties coming half way through the twentieth century. The United States has cooperated with other nations to combat piracy at the international level in the twentieth century." -James Biser Whisker and John R. Coe (Introduction)

This book is a thematic study offering a history of representations of the antichrist in religious thought and literature. "The malevolent figure of the Antichrist has endured for more than two millennia as both a religious and secular character. Its spectral figure has cast a powerful shadow over events during these ages. For two thousand years the Antichrist has appeared as the evil antagonist against Jesus Christ in the cosmic dual between good and evil." -The Authors

"There are two key terms applicable in all areas in which the "Great Replacement Theory" is espoused: replacement and loss of power. ... Most of the Great Replacement theories are prospective in nature, warning of dire consequences which will follow if the involved nation does not alter its current policies. This applies specifically to immigration, with very few other applications or areas of concern or alarm." -James B. Whisker and John R. Coe
