Distinguishing the Righteous from the Roguish

The Arkansas Supreme Court, 1836–1874

By: J.W. Looney

During the period from 1836 to 1874, the legal system in the new state of Arkansas developed amid huge social change. While the legislature could, and did, determine what issues were considered of importance to the populace, the Arkansas Supreme Court determined the efficacy of legislation in cases involving land titles, banks, transportation, slavery, family law, property, debt, contract, criminal law, and procedure. Distinguishing the Righteous from the Roguish examines the court’s decisions in this era and shows how Arkansas, as a rural slave-holding state, did not follow the transformational patterns typical of some other states during the nineteenth century. Rather than using the law to promote broad economic growth and encourage social change, the Arkansas court attempted to accommodate the interests of the elite class by preserving the institution of slavery. The ideology of paternalism is reflected in the decisions of the court, and Looney shows how social and political stability—an emphasis on preserving the status quo of the so-called “righteous”—came at the expense of broader economic development.

Organic Chemicals in Natural Waters

Applied Monitoring and Impact Assessment

By: J.W. Moore,S. Ramamoorthy

This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the principles and applications of environ mental management. Each volume is a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discern and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable re sources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or harness nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem.

Butter Pecan for Two

By: J.W. Garrett

Tucker Jennings is disillusioned with his sterile life in 2050. Working for the family business is sucking the life from him when he yearns to follow his dream of becoming a reporter. Lilly Sinclair can’t break free from the cycle of grief after losing her husband three years ago in World War II. Life in Pensacola is comforting, predictable, until a barely conscious stranger with kind brown eyes materializes on her stretch of beach. When Tucker finds himself in 1946, can scoops of Butter Pecan ice cream from Lilly’s quaint little shop be the spark that opens his eyes to what really matters in life?

Structural Flaws in the Middle East Process

Historical Contexts

By: J. W. Wright Jr

Negotiations between Israel and the Arab states have continued in one form or another for over a decade, through three Israeli administrations, the death of a King of Jordan, and through countless riots and incidences of protest by Palestinians and Jews alike. The agreements that have been reached, and some situations established by defacto rule and force majure, have created possibly irreversible economic and political structures. This collection presents a debate among eminent scholars and public officials over the power these structures engender in the region.

Agricultural Law

Principles and Cases

By: J. W. Looney,Donald L. Uchtmann

When the first edition of Agricultural Law was published in 1981, it immediately set the standard for the field. Now in a new edition, the book includes new coverage of such areas as bankruptcy, government regulations, and environmental laws, as well as offering even more information on the federal regulatory and farm programs. The strong focus on environmental concerns reflects the latest state of affairs in the field, as do the completely updated case materials." "The cases, relevant to the issues discussed within the book, also help the reader to focus on today's directions and trends in agricultural law. In some, the facts provide a basis for illustration of law in action. In others, the court's opinion includes a useful description of particular legal principles and how they are applied. Between the book's discussion and the presentation of cases a "hybrid" is formed, thus providing the reader with both a casebook and a treatise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
