Описание: Through the lenses of comparative and critical rhetoric, this book theorizes how alternative approaches to communication can transform legal meanings and legal outcomes, infusing them with more inclusive participation, equity and justice.Viewing legal language through a radical lens, the book sets aside longstanding norms that derive from White and Euro-centric approaches in order to re-situate legal methods as products of new rhetorical models that come from diasporic and non-Western cultures. The book urges readers to re-consider how they think about logic and rhetoric and to consider other ways of building knowledge that can heal the law’s current structures that often perpetuate and reinforce systems of privilege and power.

Is it really possible to live in a world without deprivation or economic strife, but instead with peace, prosperity, and better opportunities? Path to a Better World proposes a practical plan that provides the means to make this dream a reality-and all before the end of the twenty-first century.
James Albus, an engineer, neuroscientist, and international expert in robotics and intelligent systems, begins by sharing his vision of an ideal world and contrasts that with the current reality. After discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the cur-rent free market capitalist system, Albus suggests an improved version of capitalization that has the potential to broaden the ownership of capital and stimulate significant economic growth. Included is a review of our nation's technical progress to date and a proposal that encourages future technological advances that possess the capabilities to propel the country into an unprecedented era of success.
Path to a Better World is a well-researched, informative guidebook that allows Americans to imagine a life under a new form of capitalism that has the potential to offer the people of this great nation domestic tranquility, economic justice, and the pursuit of happiness for not only ourselves, but also our posterity.

US Senator Mark Warner - Former Governor of Virginia
Cabell Brand is a dear friend who I've come to know both as a leader in business and as a role model in his community. The personal stories and experiences he so generously shares in this book, on issues ranging from education to health care and the environment, provide a compelling and readable case for more civic engagement from everyone. What's more - Cabell's life story provides a useful guide for the next generation of leaders to step-up to continue his legacy of working to provide opportunities for everyone.
President of the National Academy of Sciences, Ralph Cicerone
Cabell Brand is an accomplished leader whose adherence to American ideals and his effectiveness make him rare. Even more rare, he demonstrates through genuine and encouraging experiences that many more people can become new leaders in our quest for better governance and a better society. An uplifting book.
VMI Superintendent General J.H. Binford Peay, III, U.S. Army (Retired)
Cabell Brand's life exemplifies the concept of the citizen-soldier, the foundation upon which his alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, was built. He served his country during World War II before embarking on a remarkable career in business, with simultaneous involvement at home and abroad as regards humanitarian causes. I have known few individuals who have been as successful in industry while giving so selflessly of their time and effort with civic affairs, the underprivileged, the environment and the general well being of mankind.
