The Development of the Rudder

A Technological Tale

By: Lawrence V. Mott

Far exceeding anything ever before written on the subject, The Development of the Rudder endeavors to unravel the mysteries of the evolution of a vital piece of seafaring equipment. And in the process, Lawrence V. Mott answers far-reaching questions on why some technologies develop and endure, while others are soon replaced. In this first considered historical overview of the rudder, Mott begins his examination in the Roman period, and from there traces rudder development through the middle centuries to the age of exploratory navigation, by which time the quarter-rudder had been replaced by the pintle-and-gudgeon rudder. Throughout, he offers a thorough analysis of the mechanics of these rudder systems, while never losing sight of the human interest that attends the radical changes brought on by innovation. The layperson will find in this unique work a penetrating look into the history of technology at sea - a history that defies the linear cosntructs often associated with developmental and evolutionary theory. Maritime historians, nautical archaeologists, and ship modelers will embrace this book as an invaluable reference, which includes useful appendixes filled with technical data for researchers and scholars.

Readings on the Development of the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

By: O. Lawrence Burnette, Jr.

This compilation is an effort historically to trace the systrematic and ordered changes in Constitutional thinking, by judicious selection of the key operative phrases and concepts imbeded in hundreds of cases of varying importance, more clearly to illustrate the evolutionary process by which the Constitution has come to have its current form and meaning. The effort has been to extract from the hundreds of case decisions and dissents, those immutable words and phrases which capture the essence of the points at issue, in the Justice's own words just as they wrote them in the white heat of judicial argument. Moreover, the effort has been to trace the chain of precedents for cases and concepts, more clearly to show how the jigs and jogs fo decisions have altered the Constitution as applied. Whether or not agreed to (being the subject of strong controversy between the members of the Court itself), that process is one of organic, evolutionary growth, reflecting the chaging times, concepts, legal theory, and political ideas in the American experience. In a larger perspective, the Constitution has been the greatest American export to a world grappling with the desire to emulate the American experience of liberty under law. The volume will be of interest to students of the subject, as well as the legal profession; it is the product of a lifetime spent in the study and teaching of the Great Document.

Trial Consulting

By: Amy J. Posey,Lawrence S. Wrightsman

In its roughly 25 years of existence, the trial consulting profession has grown dramatically in membership, recognition, and breadth of practice. What began as a small activist group of social scientists volunteering their expertise to assist in the defense of Vietnam War protestors has evolved into a diverse set of professionals from a range of educational and professional backgrounds. In spite of such enormous growth, the work of trial consultants has gone largely unexamined. Trial Consulting takes an in-depth look at the primary activities of trial consultants, including witness preparation, focus groups and mock trials, jury selection, change of venue surveys, and attorney presentation style. It also examines the profession's struggle to define itself, resisting certification and licensure requirements and settling instead for a set of practice standards. The authors draw upon empirical and other scholarly work in the social sciences, recommended "best practices" from trial lawyers, and the written and spoken recommendations and reflections of the trial consultants themselves. Addressing a broad spectrum of topics ranging from handwriting analysis to medical malpractice cases, they also suggest reforms for improving the profession and the efficacy of the trial consultant in the courtroom. The result is a critical analysis of what trial consulting truly adds to, and detracts from, the administration of justice. This book is an indispensable guide for practicing and aspiring trial consultants as well as the judges, attorneys, and psychologists who work with them. Trial Consulting provides a thought-provoking statement on the state of the profession, and students and professionals alike will benefit from the challenges it offers.
