Описание: Prosecutes the civil litigation system and proposes practical reforms to increase access to the courts and reduce costs.
Civil litigation has come under fire in recent years. Some critics portray a system of dishonest lawyers and undeserving litigants who prevail too often, and are awarded too much money. Others criticize the civil justice system for being out of reach for many who have suffered real injury. But contrary to these perspectives and popular belief, the civil justice system in the United States is not out of control.
In Civil Justice Reconsidered, Steven Croley demonstrates that civil litigation is, for the most part, socially beneficial. An effective civil litigation system is accessible to parties who have suffered legal wrongs, and it is reliable in the sense that those with stronger claims tend to prevail over those with weaker claims. However, while most of the system's failures are overstated, they are not wholly off base; civil litigation often imposes excessive costs that, among other unfortunate consequences, impede access to the courts, and Croley offers ways to reform civil litigation in the interest of justice for potential plaintiffs and defendants, and for the rule of law itself.
A better litigation system matters only because of what is at stake for real people, and Civil Justice Reconsidered speaks to the thought leaders, litigation reformers, members of the bar and bench, and policymakers who can answer the call for reforming civil litigation in the United States.

Описание: The hangman's knot is a simple thing to tie, just a rope carefully coiled around itself up to thirteen times. But in those thirteen turns lie a powerful symbol, one of the most powerful in history, and particularly in America, whose relationship to the noose is all too deep and complicated. Our history with hangings is shockingly recent. The last man to be hanged in the United States was Billy Bailey, who was executed in Delaware in 1996 for committing a double murder. Hanging has since been disallowed in that state, but it is still legal, in certain situations, in New Hampshire and Washington. An incident in Jena, Louisiana, in 2006, in which nooses were used to symbolically menace black students, is a fresh reminder of just how potent this emblem of racism and savage violence still is. All that meaning, and all that history, is a lot to see in a coiled rope. But the fact is, that meaning is felt by all of us. And Jack Shuler, a professor of American literature and black studies, is the right man to explore it: from Judas Iscariot, perhaps the most infamous hanged man, to the killing of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the murderers at the heart of Capote's "In Cold Blood," and beyond. Shuler goes era by era, tracing the evolution of this dark practice in episodes, and revealing the ways each one impacted the society around it. As he investigates the death of John Brown and the 1930 lynching that inspired the song "Strange Fruit," his travels take him across America--and not just the South--uncovering our deep secrets and searching for meaning. Shuler's account is a kind of shadow history of America: for all the celebrated strides we've made towards integration and harmony, those victories are hollow without an appreciation for what they vanquished. "The Thirteenth Turn" is a courageous and searching book that reminds us where we come from, and what is lost if we forget.

Описание:
A utopian community is visited by a group of journalists interested in learning more about its unusual way of life--not knowing that one of them has a secret agenda. As the journalists become familiar with the varied innovative aspects of the network of Walden Two communities, they become intrigued with its theories of community structure, infant care, and education, as well as how ethics are taught in a rational society and the ways the community frees itself from the constraints of the larger society.
Based on the ideas espoused by B.F. Skinner in the 1940s, A World of Our Own Making: A Sequel to Walden Two is an engrossing tour through Skinner's behavioral principles and an imaginative look at how they might actually be implemented. Author Michael Shuler's in-depth look at the subject of "Behaviorology," now taught at institutions of higher education around the world, brings Skinner's Walden Two into the twenty-first century. It offers a new understanding of this ground-breaking discipline and its potential to revolutionize the basic structure of our society--for those with the courage and discipline to undertake it.
Readers will be surprised at both what they will learn and the unexpected ending as the plan of the mysterious visiting journalist is revealed, leading to an unusual revelation climaxing this refreshing read.

Описание:
From the lowcountry through the midlands and into the upstate, criminal cases and mysterious murders cast a dark shadow on small-town South Carolina....
Ax assault, kidnapping, brutal murder: how could these things happen in a small town? Although regional crimes hardly ever make it to the national circuit, they will always remain with the families and communities of the victims and a part of the area's history. After working with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division as special agent/forensic photographer for twenty-four years, Rita Shuler has a passion for remembering the victims. In Small-town Slayings, Shuler takes us back in time, showing differences and similarities of crime solving in the past and present and some surprising twists of court proceedings, verdicts and sentences. From an unsolved case that has haunted her for thirty years to a cold case that was solved after fifteen years by advanced DNA technology, Shuler blends her own memories with extensive research, resulting in a fast-paced, factual and fascinating look at crime in South Carolina.

Описание: Most travel memoirs are written from the perspective of travelers. This story is told through the eyes of two tour guides. Alaska, a destination many called the trip of a lifetime, they simply called home. Inspired by their love for the beauty of this place and the outdoor experiences that enriched their own lives, they became part of the still-developing travel industry in Juneau, Alaska. This is the story of nature and human nature spanning nearly two decades. While tourists were watching nature, their tour guides were watching them, what they said before and during their travels and after they returned home, what attracted their attention.While this book is firmly rooted in a wild and beautiful place, it also digresses into broader themes of human relationships, why we travel, our ties with the natural world, what wild salmon teach us about the meaning of life.
