Over the past three decades, the United States has embraced the death penalty with tenacious enthusiasm. While most of those countries whose legal systems and cultures are normally compared to the United States have abolished capital punishment, the United States continues to employ this ultimate tool of punishment.

The preview at the end of the book for "The Wicked" tells you the next book is gonna rock the house. It is very thorough, but incredibly well organized and easy to use. This unique and information rich book manages to tie intellectual capital to competitive advantage together in practical terms. I wonder why they didn't look inside the book before ordering it? It's true the title is misleading, I would guess it was the publisher's decision. As described in the book the metadata is attached to the highest level of document in the repository, but not the lowest level of content unit.
