In A Scrap of Paper, Isabel V. Hull compares wartime decision making in Germany, Great Britain, and France, weighing the impact of legal considerations in each. She demonstrates how differences in state structures and legal traditions shaped the way the three belligerents fought the war. Hull focuses on seven cases: Belgian neutrality, the land war in the west, the occupation of enemy territory, the blockade, unrestricted submarine warfare, the introduction of new weaponry, and reprisals. A Scrap of Paper reconstructs the debates over military decision-making and clarifies the role law played—where it constrained action, where it was manipulated, where it was ignored, and how it developed in combat—in each case. A Scrap of Paper is a passionate defense of the role that the law must play to govern interstate relations in both peace and war.

Whenever author Judith P. Foard-Giucastro had an interesting thought or question about her Christian faith or experienced a moment when she especially felt God’s presence in her life, she grabbed whatever scrap paper was nearby and documented her thoughts. Scrap Paper Reflections is a product of those notes she jotted down on a ragtag assortment of scrap paper. This collection of short meditations and stories charts the faith journey she’s taken since her retirement in 2003. Some of the selections describe the joys of a slower pace of life after retirement, the anxiety and grief associated with the long-term illness and death of her first husband, coming to terms with that loss, the joy of falling in love again and marrying, the illness and unexpected death of her second husband, and the attempt to move on with life. In other stories, Foard-Giucastro raises religious questions, points out something new she’s seen in a scriptural passage, or tells of special times in God’s presence. Insightful and inspirational, Scrap Paper Reflections shares Foard-Giucastro’s ongoing encounters with God as well as her questions, her doubts, and her discoveries.
The second thriller in the supernatural trilogy by the World Fantasy Award–winning author— An “intriguing and absorbing work from a major talent” (Kirkus Reviews). Howard Barton came to Mendocino in search of a folded scrap of paper. Not just any old scrap of paper, but one bearing what might be a sketch by the legendary Japanese artist, Hoku-sai. But Howard, unfortunately, is not the only one who wants the sketch . . . There’s old Heloise Lamey, whose lush and noxious garden is watered with blood, ink, and stranger substances. And the enigmatic Mr. Jimmers, the owner of a workshop that holds a bizarre invention designed to raise the dead. Even Howard’s Uncle Roy, a builder of haunted houses and founder of the Museum of Modern Mysteries, has an interest in the sketch. In Northern California, nothing is what it appears, but everything is connected— and Howard is led to a mysterious private war between secret, underground societies. Now he just needs to figure out whose side he’s on in the quest for the Paper Grail. “Blaylock redeems the familiarity of his plot with a gift for drawing characters who are eccentric in delightful and original ways, whichever side of the war they are on.” —Publishers Weekly “Blaylock ventures into the realm of magical realism as eccentric matrons and failed entrepreneurs assume mythic proportions in this witty and intelligent metaphysical novel. This crossover novel belongs equally well in literary and fantasy collections.” —Library Journal
