This book was prepared with the design to having been to afford the novice of the game Bridge with sufficient theoretical knowledge of the principles and strategy of the game to enable the reader to commence the practise in a sound and intelligent manner. It includes full instructions, numerous examples, analyses, illustrative deals, and a complete code of laws, with notes indicating the differing practices at the most prominent clubs. It was originally published in 1902 but will still prove to be of interest to any player or learner of the game. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

Description:

The book is intended for the use of engineers and draughtsmen, who are so frequently in need of a good process for reproducing their drawings. After a brief theoretical introduction on the chemical and physical action of light, the author classifies the processes with salts of silver, with iron salts, with salts of chromium, and with salts of uranium. He gives practical instructions in regard to the paper to be used, the methods of sensitizing, and the trays and dishes used for the purpose, and describes various forms of printing-frames. Formulae which were found not practical, but which are recommended by reliable authorities, have also been given. The patented processes are included, although they cannot be used generally, in order to give a complete review of the subject treated. The first thousand copies of the book are accompanied by ten specimens of heliographic prints, among which the uranium and carbon prints deserve special mention. The first chapters, in which the methods of sensitizing and printing are described, are accompanied by numerous figures illustrating the instruments and processes. -The Photographic Times, Vol. 19 [1899]

A chapter on decision-making in wartime discusses command responsibility and gives the student a necessary taste of the underlying reality of combat. Appendices include four non-U.S. law of war manuals not commonly available in English (including the Russian Federation’s), a survey of the law of war in U.S. history, and all or substantial portions of important cited cases. A general course in public international law is not necessary for a student to understand and apply the contents of this book.

Title: The Law of Torts
Author: John Frederic Clerk, William Harry Barber Lindsell, Wyatt Paine
Language: angielski
Year: 2014
Subjects: National, Torts, Study Aid
Publisher: LexisNexis
ISBN: 9781780438849
Total pages: 981

Description:

This casebook concentrates on negligence as the primary vehicle for teaching tort law. It provides the historical background for each negligence principle so that students understand how current tort law developed. An introductory chapter presents the primary ideas of negligence law, and subsequent chapters develop the law of negligence in detail, including defenses, comparative fault, damages, and multi-party considerations. The second part of the book covers intentional torts, strict liability, products liability, tortious invasion of property interests, workers’ compensation, no-fault automobile reparations, defamation, privacy and constitutional torts.
This casebook reflects the numerous changes in tort law resulting from enactment of "tort reform" legislation over the last two decades.
The Teacher’s Manual (available only to professors) contains two "team" problems, which illustrate substantive principles and require students to apply the principles to resolve realistic disputes. Equally important, these problems require students to work with others to solve a problem, a necessary skill in the practice of law. Students assume the role of plaintiff’s attorney, defendant’s attorney, or judge, and engage in activities such as negotiations, arguing motions and making judicial decisions, all of which are designed to enhance the learning of torts principles.
The eBook version of this title feature links to Lexis Advance for further legal research options.
Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.

Title: Chasing the Wind

Language: N/A

Subjects: Politics, Nonfiction
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 9780691123813
Total pages: 264

Description:

The Federal Clean Air Act of 1970 is widely seen as a revolutionary legal response to the failures of the earlier common law regime, which had governed air pollution in the United States for more than a century. Noga Morag-Levine challenges this view, highlighting striking continuities between the assumptions governing current air pollution regulation in the United States and the principles that had guided the earlier nuisance regime. Most importantly, this continuity is evident in the centrality of risk-based standards within contemporary American air pollution regulatory policy. Under the European approach, by contrast, the feasibility-based technology standard is the regulatory instrument of choice.
Through historical analysis of the evolution of Anglo-American air pollution law and contemporary case studies of localized pollution disputes, Chasing the Wind argues for an overhaul in U.S. air pollution policy. This reform, following the European model, would forgo the unrealizable promise of complete, perfectly tailored protection-a hallmark of both nuisance law and the Clean Air Act-in favor of incremental, across-the-board pollution reductions. The author argues that prevailing critiques of technology standards as inefficient and undemocratic instruments of "command and control" fit with a longstanding pattern of American suspicion of civil law modeled interventions. This distrust, she concludes, has impeded the development of environmental regulation that would be less adversarial in process and more equitable in outcome.

The use of horses in warfare in analysed but the non-military aspects of the West African horse culture are also discussed, principally the use of horses as tokens of status and wealth.

Description:

Female Gladiators is the first book to examine legal and social battles over the right of women to participate with men in contact sports. The impetus to begin legal proceedings was the 1972 enactment of Title IX, which prohibited discrimination in educational settings, but it was the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the equal rights amendments of state constitutions that ultimately opened doors. Despite court rulings, however, many in American society resisted-and continue to resist-allowing girls in dugouts and other spaces traditionally defined as male territories.
Inspired, women and girls began to demand access to the contact sports which society had previously deemed too strenuous or violent for them to play. When the leagues continued to bar girls simply because they were not boys, the girls went to court. Sarah K. Fields’s Female Gladiators is the only book to examine the legal and social battles over gender and contact sport that continue to rage today.

"Professor Fields makes a fresh and excellent contribution to the literature by suggesting that the intensity of opposition to female football and baseball players was not simply-as is conventional wisdom-a somewhat quaint paternalistic protection of the ‘weaker sex,’ but rather due to the role of these major sports in promoting the American construct of masculinity and the desire to save these sports as a male ‘preserve’ as gender roles are deconstructed."-Stephen F. Ross, Penn State University

Description:

This book explores how the design, construction, and use of robotics technology may affect today’s legal systems and, more particularly, matters of responsibility and agency in criminal law, contractual obligations, and torts. By distinguishing between the behaviour of robots as tools of human interaction, and robots as proper agents in the legal arena, jurists will have to address a new generation of "hard cases." General disagreement may concern immunity in criminal law (e.g., the employment of robot soldiers in battle), personal accountability for certain robots in contracts (e.g., robo-traders), much as clauses of strict liability and negligence-based responsibility in extra-contractual obligations (e.g., service robots in tort law). Since robots are here to stay, the aim of the law should be to wisely govern our mutual relationships.
