Can any existing government claim to be truly democratic? This captivating, articulate volume explores and interrogates each form of democracy and questions whether they remain fit for purpose today.

Beyond soap : the real truth about what you are doing to your skin and how to fix it for a beautiful, healthy glow / by Skotnicki, Sandy,author.; Shulgan, Christopher,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Sensitive skin is one of the most buzzed-about topics in dermatology today. It can be painful, debilitating, and inconvenient. Astonishingly, many of the women and men who suffer from problem skin are unknowingly causing it by washing too frequently and using too many skincare and beauty products. In the name of beauty and anti-aging, we're slathering ourselves in creams and balms that actually can damage the skin they claim to protect. The miracle products we buy at department stores, specialty shops, and pharmacies have the potential to make us less attractive--and to prematurely age the skin. In Stop Washing, leading dermatologist Dr. Skotnicki explains that the best state for skin is the natural state. On its own the skin is better equipped to fight wrinkles, stave off aging and act as armor that protects the body from infection. Every time we slather, spread, hydrate, or soften the skin, we nudge the skin away from its healthiest natural condition. Skotnicki demystifies the claims of commonly used beauty products and offers a common-sense approach to cleansing the body and a natural skincare regime that will fight aging, preserve skin health, and enhance beauty. Stop Washing is a practical, essential guide to the best and worst ingredients we slather onto our bodies and how to get healthy glowing skin and look better than ever."--

Marked man / by Mayor, Archer,author.;
"In Archer Mayor's Marked Man, the death of a local millionaire becomes suspicious when Joe Gunther learns that he was not who he claimed. A year ago, local philanthropist and millionaire Nathan Lyon died a natural death in his sprawling mansion, a 150,000 square foot converted mill, surrounded by his loving, attentive family. Or so it seemed at the time. Now Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team has discovered that almost nothing about that story was true. Nathan Lyon was actually Nick Bianchi from Providence, Rhode Island. His money came from Mafia-tainted sources. And his family now seems to be dying themselves and their deaths are now revealed to be murders. As Gunther's team desperately works to uncover what is going on at The Mill, who is responsible and what they are trying to accomplish, Joe himself travels to Rhode Island to look into the original source of the money. While the police are doing their jobs, private investigator Sally Kravitz teams up with reporter Rachel Reiling to expose the truth behind this tangled and expanding web of duplicity, greed, and obsession. Having betrayed many, it's no surprise that Nathan Lyon was a marked man. But now Gunther has to figure out who, among the many, killed him, and stop them before their killing spree claims another"--
