Gore Vidal, known for such best-sellers as The City and the Pillar, Burr, Lincoln, and Myra Breckinridge, is a household name. The controversial Vidal ran for Congress in 1960, and set sparks flying with his public debates challenging William F. Buckley and Norman Mailer. Although one of America's most admired and prolific writers, Vidal has been steadfastly ignored or impugned by many critics. This is partly owing to the vast scope of his writings, which include more than twenty novels, half a dozen plays, dozens of screenplays, countless essays and book reviews, political commentary, and short stories; how do the critics approach such a writer? There has also been backlash against Vidal, whose radical polemics and undisguised contempt for those whom he has called "the hacks and hicks of academe" have hardly endeared him to the critical establishment.Gore Vidal: Writer Against the Grain is the first collection of critical essays to approach this important American writer in an attempt to rectify the unwarranted underestimation of his work. Jay Parini has drawn from the best of previously published criticism and commissioned fresh articles by leading contemporary critics to construct a comprehensive portrait of Vidal's multifaceted and memorable career. Writers as diverse as Harold Bloom, Stephen Spender, Catharine R. Stimpson, Richard Poirier, and Italo Calvino examine Vidal's work in their own highly individual ways, and each finds a different Vidal to celebrate, chide, recollect, or view close up. Also included is a recent interview with Parini in which Vidal discusses his career and his troubled relationship with the reviewers.The Vidal that finally emerges from these essays is a writer of undeniable weight and importance. As readers will agree, Gore Vidal: Writer Against the Grain establishes his rightful role as one of the premier novelists and leading critical observers of this century.
As computer-related crime becomes more important globally, both scholarly and journalistic accounts tend to focus on the ways in which the crime has been committed and how it could have been prevented. Very little has been written about what follows: the capture, possible extradition, prosecution, sentencing and incarceration of the cyber criminal. Originally published in 2004, this book provides an international study of the manner in which cyber criminals are dealt with by the judicial process. It is a sequel to the groundbreaking Electronic Theft: Unlawful Acquisition in Cyberspace by Grabosky, Smith and Dempsey (Cambridge University Press, 2001). Some of the most prominent cases from around the world are presented in an attempt to discern trends in the handling of cases, and common factors and problems that emerge during the processes of prosecution, trial and sentencing.

Teori sosial telah mengalami banyak perkembangan dalam beberapa dekade terakhir ini. Beberapa sosiolog dan antropolog, seperti para sejarawan, telah membuat “cultural turn”. Dengan demikian, kebudayaan menjadi lebih difokuskan. Bakhtin dan Gombrich, misalnya, mendiskusikannya secara lebih panjang, demikian pula Thomas Kuhn. Di sisi lain, berkembangnya “teori pilihan rasional” (rational choice theory) membawa kami untuk menambahkan seksi baru, yaitu tentang “problem” pada pembahasan konflik di antara sejarawan yang menekankan rasionalitas dengan pihak yang lebih mengutamakan relativisme kultural. Kepustakaan buku edisi baru ini juga telah diperbarui dengan menambahkan sejumlah artikel dan buku yang lebih mutakhir. Seksi baru pun ditambahkan, tentang modal sosial dan pascakolonialisme, yang sangat ramai dibahas dalam buku dan artikel era sekarang. Juga contoh-contoh baru kami tambahkan. Bahkan, untuk menampung banyaknya penambahan itu, kami sengaja membuat halaman baru. Sementara itu, bagian-bagian yang sudah tidak relevan, ketinggalan zaman, kami hilangkan, sebagaimana nyata dalam bibliografi dan teks-teks contoh yang dihilangkan.
