Reorganized discussion of the principles of legislative jurisdiction recognized by customary international law in Chapter 6 and in Chapter 7, as well as expanded and updated discussion about the exercise of extra-territorial legislative jurisdiction by the federal government and the states. Inclusion in Chapter 8 of the Supreme Court’s reiteration in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization of the test used to determine if a right is protected by substantive due process. The examination of the Second Amendment updated and expanded to include the Supreme Court’s most recent explication of that right in New York Rifle and Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen and the limits that decision places on the ability of states and the federal government to enact statutes that make the carrying of firearms criminal. Expanded discussion in Chapter 10 to introduce students to the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the two principles that underlie most of its offenses. Updated examination of wire fraud, reflecting the Supreme Court’s latest decision relating to schemes to defraud. Updated discussion of the insanity defense in Chapter 12. Expanded examination of search and seizure Chapter 16 to include a discussion of emerging issues relating to encrypted and biometrically protected data, and an updated discussion of Terry stops to reflect the Supreme Court’s most recent teaching on the subject. Updated section about the right to trial by jury in Chapter 20. Rewritten and updated discussion of cruel and unusual punishment in the context of the death penalty, and a re-written and expanded discussion of the writ of habeas corpus.

Surveying the Record

North American Scientific Exploration to 1930

By: Edward Carlos Carter

Papers given at a conference on Scientific Exploration in North America to 1930 with topics including Cartography, Oceanic Exploration, Art, Anthropology, Lewis and Clark, and the West. This book adds much to our quest for knowledge of who and where we are by illuminating such themes as the role of maps and mapmaking in defining our national identify, the origins of Western exploration, the cultural clash found in the best-selling account of a 19th-century physician-explorer with Arctic peoples, the role of art in the service of science in bringing these newly discovered places and peoples into the Amer. parlor, and the impact of Mormon farming techniques on John Wesley Powell's famed 1878 Arid Region Report.

Around the World Submerged

The Voyage of the Triton

By: Edward L. Beach

When the nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton was commissioned in November 1959, its commanding officer, Captain Edward L. Beach, planned a routine shakedown cruise in the North Atlantic. Two weeks before the scheduled cruise, however, Beach was summoned to Washington and told of the immediate necessity to prove the reliability of the Rickover-conceived submarine. His new secret orders were to take the Triton around the world, entirely submerged the total distance. This is Beach's gripping firsthand account of what went on during the 36,000 nautical-mile voyage whose record for speed and endurance still stands today. It brings to life the many tense events in the historic journey: the malfunction of the essential fathometer that indicated the location of undersea mountains and shallow waters, the sudden agonizing illness of a senior petty officer, and the serious problems with the ship's main hydraulic oil system. Intensely dramatic, Beach's chronicle also describes the psychological stresses of the journey and some touching moments shared by the crew. A skillful story teller, he recounts the experience in such detail that readers feel they have been along for the ride of a lifetime.

Dividing the Land

Early American Beginnings of Our Private Property Mosaic

By: Edward T. Price

Many property lines drawn in early America still survive today and continue to shape the landscape and character of the United States. Surprisingly, though, no one until now has thoroughly examined the process by which land was divided into private property and distributed to settlers from the beginning of colonization to early nationhood. In this unprecedented study, Edward T. Price covers most areas of the United States in which the initial division of land was controlled by colonial governments—the original thirteen colonies, and Maine, Vermont, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas. By examining different land policies and the irregular pattern of property that resulted from them, Price chronicles the many ways colonies managed land to promote settlement, develop agriculture, defend frontiers, and attract investment. His analysis reveals as much about land planning techiniques carried to America from Europe as innovations spurred by the unique circumstances of the new world. Price’s analysis draws on his thorough survey of property records from the first land plans in Virginia in 1607 to empresario grants in Texas in the 1820s. This breadth of data allows him to identify regional differences in allocating land, assess the impact of land planning by historical figures like William Penn of Pennsylvania and Lord Baltimore of Maryland, and trace changes in patterns of land division and ownership through transfers of power among Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Mexico, and the Republic of Texas.
