Description:
Human rights have fallen on hard times, yet they are more necessary than ever. People all over the world “ from Amazonian villages to Iranian prisons “ need human rights to gain recognition, campaign for justice, and save lives. But how can we secure a brighter future for human rights? What changes are required to confront the regime™s weaknesses and emerging global challenges? In this cutting-edge analysis, Alison Brysk sets out a pragmatic reformist agenda for human rights in the twenty-first century. Tracing problems and solutions through contemporary case studies “ the plight of refugees, declining democracies such as Mexico and Turkey, the expansion of women™s rights, new norms for indigenous peoples, and rights regression in the USA “ she shows that the dynamic strength of human rights lies in their evolving political practice. This distinctive vision demands that we build upon the gains of the human rights regime to construct new pathways which address historic rights gaps, from citizenship to security, from environmental protection to resurgent nationalism, and to globalization itself. Drawing on the author™s extensive experience as a leading human rights scholar and activist, The Future of Human Rights offers a broad and authoritative guide to the big questions in global human rights governance today.

Great plots, lovely use of English, lovable characters.
Format: Kindle
This series is a joy to read for lovers of the English language. The characters are interesting and/lovable. My family on my mother’s side lives in Florida and growing up I was certainly subjected to the mores and traditional thinking of the South, which did not help me at all in life, so the exposure to that culture raises an exasperated smile in me. For someone like me who loves to read the fact that the books are longer than normal for cozy books makes me very happy.

This would be a terrific book even without the mystery!
Format: Mass Market Paperback
The book has so much literary merit, that it could be placed among the novels. However, the excellent mystery plot also wins it a place among the mysteries.
Haines creates characters who are memorable and vivid and places them in the Mississippi Delta town of Zinnia (I'm kind of reminded of the movie "In the Heat of the Night"). Sarah Booth is living in the ancestral home -- she is an orphan and an only child, the last of the Delaneys -- but is about to lose it, because she is destitute despite her social credentials. Her only company at Dahlia House - the antebellum house -- is the ghost of a slave, who appears in a variety of outfits and "encourages" Sarah to get to work reproducing.
In an attempt to earn some money, Sarah takes on the task of trying to get to the truth of a scandal from 20 years ago in which first a leading citizen and then the leading citizen's wife die in some very questionable accidents. THe two young offspring are whispered to have something to do with it, and Sarah's client wants to find out if Hamilton the Fifth is as bad as rumors have it. Hamilton the Fifth is a romantic interest worthy of Evanovich -- and did I mention the book is often funny?
Sarah is stirring up some dangerous memories and some deaths start to follow.
I really loved this book and can hardly wait to read the next in this series and discover what happens to Sarah.

Southern Melancholy
Format: Kindle
On the plus side, "Them Bones" delivered on transporting me to the Mississippi delta (how do you stop typing Mississippi? it just begs to go on endlessly, like banana). I was there in the South and in a small country town. Brilliant on setting, which is what I like in a cosy mystery.
The mystery itself took a while to settle in and then, well, I guessed the plot. That meant instead of suspense, I plodded through having my hunches confirmed. But if I'd been charmed, that wouldn't have mattered.
This is not a negative review, but I'm heading towards the big problem I had with the book -- and I think this may be related to the fact that I was so busy and looking to enjoy some simply, happy downtime.
"Them Bones" has humour and a southern feel, but it also struck me as melancholic. And melancholy I did not need. For others (and maybe for me at a different time) that sense of mourning and tangled history might resonate. But it was a heavy load for the plot to carry.
Three stars for a solid read.

Expect to be hooked
Format: Kindle
Great cozy mystery with characters that become friends in a story that is great 'light" reading for an escape from the usual serious stories and politics on the news. Some laughs, some scares, some regular activities to fill out the characters are in good balance for the genre.
