Historical Encyclopedia of U.S. Independent Counsel Investigations

ISBN-10 / ASIN:0313307350
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780313307355
Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
This volume is a compilation of the U.S. federal special prosecutor/independent counsel investigations spanning the complete twenty-one year tenure from 1978-1999 of the independent counsel statute. The entries include individuals who have served as investigators; those who have been targets of investigations; all attorney generals who have called for appointment of special prosecutors; all presidents during whose terms of office such prosecutors served; and all legal cases that served to argue for or against the constitutionality of the independent counsel statute. These historical precedents are traced from Ulysses Grant's appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the St. Louis Whiskey Scandal in 1875. More contemporary cases include Watergate, precipitated by Richard Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" dismissal of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox in 1973; Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's Iran-Contra Investigation; and Special Prosecutor Ken Starr's Whitewater investigation of the Clintons and the ensuing permutations which brought individuals like Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky to prominence and also brought the statute calling for such investigations into constitutional debate. The book is fully cross-referenced and contains a comprehensive bibliography and index. It will be of interest to scholars and students of American History and Constitutional History.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Stanley Fischer served as First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund from 1994 to 2001. IMF Essays from a Time of Crisis collects sixteen essays written for the most part during his time at the IMF, each updated with Fischer's later reflections on the issues raised. The IMF drew much criticism for some of its actions during Fischer's tenure, and he vigorously defends the "battlefield medicine" practiced by the IMF during a series of economic crises, which included the problems of economic transition in the former Soviet bloc and the Asian financial crisis. Fischer addresses the subsequent calls for reform of the international financial system and makes the case for the IMF as an international lender of last resort.
The first section of essays, "The Role of the IMF and the Reform of the International Financial System," considers the IMF's role in the international financial system in light of the crises of the 1990s. The second section, "Macroeconomic Policy, Stabilization, and Transition," examines such topics as exchange rate regimes, inflation, and Eastern Europe's relation to the European Union. The final section, "Poverty and Development," reflects Fischer's basic belief that economic policies should explicitly target poverty reduction. These engaging and accessible essays will appeal not only to economics students, economists, and policymakers but also to the general reader interested in the international monetary system.

Product Description:
Forensic mental health assessments are evaluations conducted by individuals from different disciplines on a variety of questions in civil, criminal, and family law. A growing number of mental health professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers, are being called
upon to assess everything from an individual's competence to stand trial to the risk or threat of future violence, and asked to weigh in on cases ranging from murder and assault to malpractice and child custody." General principles have emerged to guide professionals conducting forensic mental
health assessment. Forensic Mental Health Assessment: A Casebook illustrates those principles using relevant, real-world case material. Built around actual case reports from expert forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, the volume probes a broad range of legal questions through the detailed
examination of more than 40 cases. Topics include Miranda rights waiver, competence to act as one's own attorney, competence to stand trial, juvenile commitment, sanity at the time of the offense, child custody, termination of parental rights, guardianship, and malpractice. This is the first
casebook focusing specifically on forensic assessment. It contains cases from a broad range of civil, criminal, and family legal questions, described in case reports contributed by expert forensic psychologists and psychiatrists. It will be useful for anyone involved in assessments for the courts
and attorneys, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and attorneys.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:1580537197

Binding:Hardcover
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book Description:
Provides a broad introduction to the area of software licensing in the information age. Helps professionals and students to understand the basic philosophy and key issues of open source license. Explains the legal framework that has been developed to support the increasingly popular Internet-based open source and free software community.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary: Authoritative and essential
Rating: 5
This is one of two books that are essential resources for software acquisition - "Software Agreements Line by Line" (ISBN 1587623692) for commercial software, and this one for open source.
The SCO debacle with respect to Linux, and earlier cases of open source challenges, such as that related to MySQL, underscore the importance of understanding what you can and cannot do under the provisions of the various open source license models. This book provides a thorough understanding of each of the major license models, a comparison of open source to commercial models, and topics such as intellectual property protection, governing laws, and related issues.
I like the way the author, a practicing attorney and respected expert in cyberlaw and Internet governance, places open source in context with background information on software patents, open source goals and the Open Source Definition. This is key to understanding the licensing models, including GNU GPL, Copyleft, Aladdin Free Public License, and Open Software License. It's also key to understanding the limitations and possible vulnerabilities inherent with these license models in particular, and open source models in general - especially regarding ownership of code, derivative works, and the legal ramifications.
An interesting chapter for anyone who is considering releasing an open source product, "Rolling Your Own Open Source License", covers these issues from the developer's perspective, and gives excellent advice for selecting the appropriate open source license model.
The appendices and associated CD ROM contain a wealth of reference material, ranging from significant provisions of UCITA and UETA (1999), to a summary of every major and some minor models not covered in detail in the body of the book. Two areas in the appendix that merits attention are Fundamentals of Copyright Law, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), both of which are germane.
This book is augmented by the author's weblog, which is an invaluable resource and should be visited. The CD ROM that comes with this book is a searchable resource for quickly finding license template information and related laws.

Coercive Control: How Men Entrap Women in Personal Life (Interpersonal Violence)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Product Description:
Despite its great achievements, the domestic violence revolution is stalled, Evan Stark argues, a provocative conclusion he documents by showing that interventions have failed to improve womens long-term safety in relationships or to hold perpetrators accountable. Stark traces this failure to
a startling paradox, that the singular focus on violence against women masks an even more devastating reality. In millions of abusive relationships, men use a largely unidentified form of subjugation that more closely resembles kidnapping or indentured servitude than assault. He calls this pattern
coercive control. Drawing on sources that range from FBI statistics and film to dozens of actual cases from his thirty years of experience as an award-winning researcher, advocate, and forensic expert, Stark shows in terrifying detail how men can use coercive control to extend their dominance over
time and through social space in ways that subvert womens autonomy, isolate them, and infiltrate the most intimate corners of their lives. Against this backdrop, Stark analyzes the cases of three women tried for crimes committed in the context of abuse, showing that their reactions are only
intelligible when they are reframed as victims of coercive control rather than as battered wives.
The story of physical and sexual violence against women has been told often. But this is the first book to show that most abused women who seek help do so because their rights and liberties have been jeopardized, not because they have been injured. The coercive control model Stark develops resolves
three of the most perplexing challenges posed by abuse: why these relationships endure, why abused women develop a profile of problems seen among no other group of assault victims, and why the legal system has failed to win them justice.
Elevating coercive control from a second-class misdemeanor to a human rights violation, Stark explains why law, policy, and advocacy must shift its focus to emphasize how coercive control jeopardizes womens freedom in everyday life.
Fiercely argued and eminently readable, Starks work is certain to breathe new life into the domestic violence revolution.

Summary: Staying Rational Amidst Religious Faith and Fervor
Rating: 4
Moore provides a well written and documented reference. Frequently critical thinking, educated, "fair" and systematic people are caught off guard by claims and statements from those with strong political, religious, social and scientific beliefs. Moore is a rational, calm source for information regarding the role and conflicts over evolution and supernatural beliefs. Subjective decisions have often ended up in the courts. What was the outcome and what were the implications for subsequent conflicts and decisions.
Who were the players and decision makers. What conflicts and decisions have been revisited, after it was assumed a point had been resolved? How do I keep names, places and arguments straight?! Where did players end up, what do they look like, and how did they conduct their lives after living through trying times? Moore is an excellent source for teachers, scientists, attorneys, judges, school boards and administrators, parents, journalists, legislators and the general public.
Moore organizes his overview in 11 main sections: 1) "In the Beginning . . ." marks how fundamentalists, having waged a successful campaign to outlaw alcohol following WWI, turned their attention to Charles Darwin. Fundamentalist preacher "Billy" Sunday's theatrical services that linked evolution with eugenics, prostitution and crime. 2) State of Tennessee v. Scopes (1925) chronicles prosecutor and orator William Jennings Bryan, a fading influence in the Democratic party who needed a "great cause" like the antievolution campaign to prop up his political aspiration, and John Scopes, a science teacher who volunteered to be tried for teaching human evolution in public school, contrary to recently enacted state law. This was the "trial of the century" where Darrow and Bryan went hed-to-head in a "clash of faith vs. science."
3) "This Is The Bible, Buddy" Epperson v. Arkansas (1965) second year biology teacher Susan Epperson agreed to test Arkansas law after Central High School adopted a new text, "Modern Biology" which would subject teachers to being criminally prosecuted and fired. This was the first challenge since Scopes. 4) Epperson's Wake discusses how Biological Sciences Curriculum texts were outlawed in Texas and creationists became increasingly politically active. In 1979 Kelly Seagraves petitioned to block the Scientific Framework for California Public Schools. Another "trial of the century" resulted but a courtroom trial was precluded for religious challenges to evolution. Multiple creationist challenges were raised across the country and Whitcomb and Morris ("The Genesis Flood") revived Price's flood geology and triggered the revival of creationism in the US. Attorney Wendell Bird (Louisiana) joined the Institute for Creation Research and worked for the concept of "equal time" and "balanced treatment."
5) McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education (1980) involved the state legislature, Arkansas Board of Education included an analysis of what is science and what is not, destroyed the legal credibility of "creation science." 6) Edwards v. Aguillard tested Louisiana's Balanced Treatment law ending in the law being overturned by the US Supreme Court in 1987. 7) Evolution - Creationism controversy raged involving cased in Illinois, California, Louisiana, Minnesota and multiple other skirmishes.
8) Key People in the Controversy - Agassiz, Aquinas, Aristotle, Bryan, Darwin, Dawkins. Jerry Falwell helped trigger revival of creationism in the late 1990s. Haeckel, Hooker, Huxley, Hutton, Lamarck, Linnaeus, Malthus, Mayr, Mendel, Morris, Spencer, Wallace and many other participants are discussed. 9) A chronological historic treatment of evolution and creationism from Empedocles (415 BCE) to the Kansas Board of Education (2001 CE). 10) Bibliography and 11) Documents associated with the many skirmishes.
Moore enables you to make well-informed decisions and to not stumble on the path to reinvent the wheel and revisit case law. The 2002 publication predates Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District (December 2005), but provides a solid foundation for clearly understanding the clarity and significance of the ruling. The issue will rise again as creationists make more attempts to discredit evolution and establish faith-based beliefs in public schools and institutions. Readers are directed to the National Center for Science Education (www.ncseweb.org) to keep up with ongoing battles and controversies.

Product Description:
The area of Information Technology and Lawyers is a fascinating one. Both from a practical and an academic perspective the opportunities of applying Information Technology to law are tremendous. At the same time, however, lawyers are amongst the most conservative professionals, and traditional late adapters of technology. Nowadays the gap between Information Technology and Lawyers is closing more and more, in particular due to the Internet and the richness of legal sources that can be found online. This book provides material to further bridge the gap by showing people with a legal background what is possible with Information Technology now and in the near future, as well as by showing people with an IT background what opportunities exist in the domain of law.
Any lawyer should read this book about the current practice of IT in the legal domain, and what is to be expected in the near future.
The book is meant for both practitioners and academics, and can serve in any (post)graduate courses on computer science, law, business, etc.
