Constitutional Bargaining in Russia, 1990-93

Institutions and Uncertainty

By: Edward Morgan-Jones

The years 1990-93 were a critical moment in Russia’s political development. This book provides a systematic explanation of outcomes of constitutional bargaining processes in Russia, which radically reshaped the institutions of the Russian state: removing Russia from constitutional subordination to the Soviet Union in 1990; creating a presidency and a constitutional court in 1991; and restructuring the relationship between the central state and its component federal units with the passage of three Federal Treaties in 1992. The book explores the reasons for these outcomes and identifies why there were consistent delays to the passage of a new Russian constitution as well as why negotiations eventually broke down. The book assesses the plausibility of different theoretical approaches to constitutional choice and argues that the role of uncertainty (and politician's strategic responses to uncertainty) in shaping constitutional outcomes has been under-explored by rational choices approaches to constitutional bargaining. Using a rich set of source materials - including roll call votes, parliamentary records, unpublished parliamentary and constitution commission documents, Russian newspapers - the book provides a detailed study of Russian politician's decision making about constitutional choices. It is a valuable resource to those interested in Russia and post-communist politics, the origins of political institutions, comparative government, democratisation and development studies.

Texas Place Names

By: Edward Callary,Jean K. Callary

“[A] linguist . . . takes readers on a tour across the state, using names and language to tell its history.” ―Alcalde Was Gasoline, Texas, named in honor of a gas station? Nope, but the name does honor the town’s original claim to fame: a gasoline-powered cotton gin. Is Paris, Texas, a reference to Paris, France? Yes: Thomas Poteet, who donated land for the town site, thought it would be an improvement over “Pin Hook,” the original name of the Lamar County seat. Ding Dong’s story has a nice ring to it; the name was derived from two store owners named Bell, who lived in Bell County, of course. Tracing the turning points, fascinating characters, and cultural crossroads that shaped Texas history, Texas Place Names provides the colorful stories behind these and more than three thousand other county, city, and community names. Drawing on in-depth research to present the facts behind the folklore, linguist Edward Callary also clarifies pronunciations (it’s NAY-chis for Neches, referring to a Caddoan people whose name was attached to the Neches River during a Spanish expedition). A great resource for road trippers and historians alike, Texas Place Names alphabetically charts centuries of humanity through the enduring words (and, occasionally, the fateful spelling gaffes) left behind by men and women from all walks of life. “[A] quite useful book.” ―Austin American-Statesman

The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, Or, A Commentary Upon Littleton

Not the Name of the Author Only, But of the Law Itself

By: Sir Edward Coke

Coke's Institutes are thought to be the first textbooks on the modern common law. Taken together they are a virtual legal encyclopedia of the law as it stood in Coke's lifetime. First published in 1628, it was a standard work for decades. This reprint of the 18th edition is considered preferable due to the notes and thorough index.

Duet for Two Voices

An Informal Biography of Edward Dent Compiled from His Letters to Clive Carey

By: Hugh Carey,Edward Joseph Dent

Using some of these letters as a framework, Carey's nephew has compiled an informal biography of Edward Dent. Production pictures, costume designs and sets will be of particular interest to the theatre and opera historian, while the period flavour of the book in general will appeal to anyone with interest in or nostalgia for an era that ended with the fifties.

Secrets of Life After Death

A Compilation of 3 Books: Beyond the Veil to Heaven Beyond Earth Through Heaven's Gates Conversations from Heaven

By: Ward Edward Barcafer Jr.

This is a book about life after death as provided to me through journaling and a series of extraordinary events by my wife, Suzette Delashmet Shockley, after her demise. When these events started to happen, I, having not known or even though about life after someone has passed was in disbelief. I researched and kept an open mind. Because of these happenings and my research, I now know that when a person loses a good friend, a spouse, a child, or other loving relationship, the deceased person can come through. The stronger the love vibrations, the easier and the stronger the connection between them will be. In shock and deep despair over the death of his beloved wife, Suzette Delashmet Shockley-Barcafer, Ward Barcafer struggled to live his life. But to his surprise, he began hearing Sue’s voice coming through to him from her life in Heaven! ... (Paula Lenz) This profound inner play from the light of love gives insight to the presence of heaven on earth and the continual expression of earth connection to what is called Heaven. The depth and breadth of their love is known as a harmonic love. ... (Dr. Patty Luckenbach) For those of a skeptical nature, the proof of life after death is undeniable. For those who are grieving, the intimacy and teachings are comforting. For those who are curious, these are remarkable stories. ... (Marcia Beachy) In this intimate journal of his experiences with Suzette and his spirit guides, Ward walks us through spirit to spirit connection and communication that has no barriers separating the earthly and ethereal realms. Suzette selflessly shares with us, through Ward, what life is like for a soul in Heaven ... (Dr. Ruth Anderson)

Beyond Earth Through Heaven’S Gates

Communication and Insights from Our Spiritual World

By: Ward Edward Barcafer Jr.

Ward Barcafer Jr. was naturally filled with grief and desolation after Suzette, his wife of thirty-three years passed away following a brain tumor operation. Certain he would never see or hear from her again, Ward was shocked when, on the second night after her death, he began receiving inexplicable manifestations and signs from her. After five floodlights in his ceiling began flashing at a tremendous speed, Ward reveals how he set out on a journey to seek insight and answers about after-death communication, spirit guides, and life after death as it unfolds in a new realm. Ward relies on a series of handwritten journals that recorded dramatic occurrences over several months and eye-opening communications from his spirit guides to share personal experiences with others that confirms it is possible to communicate with departed loved ones and be comforted by the fact that they have moved on to a joyful, loving, and renewed life in heaven. Beyond Earth Through Heavens Gates reveals a widowers poignant experiences after he discovered his ability to communicate with his beloved deceased wife through a series of signs and messages.
