Editor's Notes

March 26, 2019:

These textbooks cover a wide range of material, so a large part of any user's buying decision will hinge on what, exactly, they want to learn about. For example, Street Law: Understanding Law and Legal Issues takes a look at the statutes governing everyday life, rather than focusing on criminal laws that students will hopefully never have to navigate. On the other hand, Criminal Procedure: From the Courtroom to the Street provides a useful primer on how law enforcement officials apply legal codes in everything from evidence gathering to prosecution. No one book will be comprehensive, so it's up to the user to decide which area seems most relevant or interesting.

After getting his bachelor’s from the University of Texas, Quincy Miller moved out to Los Angeles, where he soon found work as a copywriter and researcher, specializing in health and wellness topics for a major online media brand. Quincy is also knowledgeable about home improvement, as he’s had extensive experience with everything from insulation to power tools to emergency room trips, sometimes in that order. Sharing a home with three dogs and a couple of cats has forced Quincy to learn as much as he can about pet supplies, animal nutrition and, most importantly, the best ways to tackle the mountains of fur that accumulate in every corner of your home.
