Constitutional Law

Cases in Context

By: Randy E. Barnett,Josh Blackman

Constitutional Law: Cases in Context, Third Edition places primary emphasis on how constitutional law has developed since the Founding, its key foundational principles, and recurring debates. By providing both cases and context, it conveys the competing narratives that all lawyers ought to know and all constitutional practitioners need to know. Teachable, manageable, class-sized chunks of material are suited to one-semester courses or reduced credit configurations. Generous case excerpts make the text flexible for most courses. Cases are judiciously supplemented with background readings from various sources. Innovative study guide questions presented before each case help students focus on the salient issues, challenging them to consider the court’s opinions from various perspectives, and suggesting comparisons or connections with other cases. Key Benefits: Revised doctrinal areas with newer cases. Updated background contextual material to reflect current scholarship. A highly accessible and engaging structure that examines the competing narratives that pervade the development of American constitutional law since the founding. Related cases are grouped together into “assignments” and make for a reasonable amount of reading for each topic. A wealth of photographs, maps, and primary documents to bring the cases to life.

Contracts

Cases and Doctrine

By: Randy E. Barnett,Nathan B. Oman

Contracts: Cases and Doctrine features a mix of lightly-edited classic and contemporary cases that stress current contract doctrine along with the essential lawyering skill of case analysis—how to sift through the facts of the case to discern the prevailing rules and theory. Randy Barnett and Nate Oman’s innovative text introduces each case and provides the historical background of the iconic cases that make the study of contract law engaging. Study Guide questions help students identify salient issues as they read each case. Judicial biographies of each judge provide additional context. The 8th Edition has been streamlined and edited to delete materials that are rarely covered in a 1L class. This edition includes new cases that have been chosen for their topicality, facts, or pedagogical usefulness. Areas covered include so-called “smart contracts” and the relationship between restitution and contract. As always, the authors focus on cases with facts that will be easier to teach. New cases in this edition include litigation between Ukraine and Russia over Russia’s invasion of its neighbor, a plea bargaining deal gone wrong, what happens when an employee signs a boilerplate arbitration contract “No Rejected,” and a dispute over whether spiders are insects. New to the 8th Edition: In order to keep the size of the book manageable, the authors have simplified its structure by condensing some of the more theoretical material on enforceability. The chapters on Principles of Enforceability and Intention to be Legally Bound have been deleted entirely, and highly truncated portions of the materials from these chapters have been added to the chapters on The Doctrine of Consideration and The Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel. New cases include: • In re IBP Inc. Shareholders Litigation (specific performance of a merger agreement involving personal services) • Bjorkman v. Arctic Cat, Inc. (modern application of the rule in Dickinson v. Dodds) • Ragland v. IEC US Holdings, Inc. (a new employee signed a boilerplate arbitration contract “No Rejected”) • Rios v. State of Maryland (confused bargaining over a plea bargaining agreement) • Robinson v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. (What is a spider? An example of neo-textualist interpretation) • Law Debenture Trust Corp. Plc. v. Ukraine (litigation between two countries – Russia and Ukraine – in the courts of a third country, England) • Martinez-Gonzalez v. Elkhorn Packing Co. LLC (duress in an employment contract involving a migrant worker) Professors and student will benefit from: • Case-based approach gives students ample doctrinal materials to sift through for facts and analyze for prevailing rules and theory. • Cases are lightly edited, or presented as whole as possible, to give first-year students the opportunity to develop case-analysis skills. • Restatement and UCC sections are integrated to encourage students to consult them as they read the cases. • Iconic and contemporary cases are combined to show how the classic cases are still relevant. • Each chapter begins with a brief, accessible textual introduction. • Study Guide questions before each case help focus student attention on salient issues. • Flexible organization begins with Remedies, but chapters can be taught in any order.

Record Industry Terms and Phrases of the Golden Era

By: Randy McNutt

Ever hear of a butt splice? A cover? An iron mother? A biscuit? These were terms used in the heyday of vinyl records, from 1949 to the mid-1980s. This colorful and almost forgotten language was once used by record producers, label owners, disc jockeys, jukebox operators, record distributors, and others in the music industry. Their language is collected in this dictionary. Each entry offers both an explanation of a term's meaning as well as its context and use in the history of the record business.

The Coon Dog Chronicles are a varied assortment of events and experiences that have marked some sort of strange turning point in my life. Why these particular stories I haven't a clue. A brown paper bag, a three-legged horse that refused to give up, three wild dogs that only wanted a friend. A brief talk with the wind. An old cowboy's last rodeo. The heart wrenching account of a friend's tribute to a dying daddy. It has occurred to me that these and other similar events have formed the substance of what I perceive to be my soul. Hopefully you will enjoy an identify with some of these. Possibly they will remind you of events in your life. And you will realize that such is the stuff of which we are made.

The Parasite-Stress Theory of Values and Sociality

Infectious Disease, History and Human Values Worldwide

By: Randy Thornhill,Corey L. Fincher

This book develops and tests an ecological and evolutionary theory of the causes of human values—the core beliefs that guide people’s cognition and behavior—and their variation across time and space around the world. We call this theory the parasite-stress theory of values or the parasite-stress theory of sociality. The evidence we present in our book indicates that both a wide span of human affairs and major aspects of human cultural diversity can be understood in light of variable parasite (infectious disease) stress and the range of value systems evoked by variable parasite stress. The same evidence supports the hypothesis that people have psychological adaptations that function to adopt values dependent upon local infectious-disease adversity. The authors have identified key variables, variation in infectious disease adversity and in the core values it evokes, for understanding these topics and in novel and encompassing ways. Although the human species is the focus in the book, evidence presented in the book shows that the parasite-stress theory of sociality informs other topics in ecology and evolutionary biology such as variable family organization and speciation processes and biological diversity in general in non-human animals.

The Grand Canyon

An Encyclopedia of Geography, History, and Culture

By: Randy Moore,Kara Felicia Witt

This single-volume encyclopedia examines the Grand Canyon in depth, from the native peoples who have survived there for centuries to the explorers who charted its vast expanses and to the challenges that Grand Canyon National Park faces. The Grand Canyon is one of the most internationally recognized landscapes and symbols of nature in North America. In this one-volume encyclopedia, readers can dive into the many people, places, stories, and issues associated with the Grand Canyon as well as the scientific, religious, and social contexts of events that have made the Grand Canyon what it is. At the front of the encyclopedia are thematic essays that examine the Grand Canyon's history, geography, and culture. Essays cover topics including John Wesley Powell, to whom the Grand Canyon "belongs," the Native Americans who live at the Grand Canyon, and the future of the Grand Canyon. Following the thematic essays are approximately 150 topical entries focusing on more specific aspects of the Grand Canyon, such as trails and camps, natural formations, and courageous heroes as well as shameless profiteers who have influenced the Grand Canyon's history. The encyclopedia is rounded out by a chronology of human history at the Grand Canyon, a Grand Canyon "at a glance" section, and multiple fact-based sidebars. Through the people, places, and stories explored in this work, readers will gain a better understanding of how the history of the Grand Canyon is relevant to the world today.

From Yeomanettes to Fighter Jets

A Century of Women in the U.S. Navy

By: Randy Carol Goguen

From Yeomanettes to Fighter Jets addresses a major element of twenty-first century sea power—the integration of women into all military units of the U.S. Navy. Randy Goguen delineates the cultural, economic, and political conditions as well as the technological changes that shaped this movement over the course of a century. Starting with the establishment of the Yeomen (F) in World War I and continuing through today to address the current arguments over the registration of women for Selective Service and the reform of the military justice system, Goguen describes how changes in civilian society affected the U. S. Navy and the role of Navy women. She highlights the contributions of key women and men in the military and civilian spheres who were willing to challenge convention and prejudice to advance the integration of women and make the U.S. Navy a stronger institution. Today women in the U.S. Navy have proven themselves essential to the mission success of the service. They are forward deployed around the world, sharing the same risks as their male counterparts. Some have commanded logistics and combatant ships, including aircraft carriers. They fly and maintain combat and patrol aircraft and serve as crew members on ships and submarines. Some hold major commands ashore and have risen to the highest echelons of navy leadership. Integrating women into the U.S. Navy has been a long and often contentious process, as women strived to overcome resistance imposed by prevailing cultural and institutional norms and patriarchal prejudices. Goguen, a retired naval reserve officer who holds a PhD in military history from Temple University, has written a comprehensive and up-to-date history of women’s integration into the Navy. She argues that throughout the process, the decisive force driving progress was exigency. That exigency took various forms: two world wars, communist expansionism in the Cold War, the ending of the draft and the establishment of the All-Volunteer Force, as well as the political pressures posed by social change, especially the mid twentieth-century feminist and contemporary “Me Too” movements. Despite a deeply ingrained institutional resistance cultivated within an insular, often misogynist, sea-going subculture, today’s U.S. Navy could not meet its mission requirements without women. Goguen asserts, “Exigency is the mother of integration.”

Lottery Wars

Case Studies in Bible Belt Politics, 1986-2005

By: Randy Bobbitt

Between 1986 and 2005, nearly every state in the Southeast grappled with one or more proposals for a state-run lottery. The political battles and marketing campaigns leading up to the decisions generated considerable public debate and media attention. Pro-lottery and anti-lottery groups executed costly and labor-intensive campaigns aimed at generating the involvement of the media, politicians, and voters. Using a variety of case studies, Lottery Wars examines those debates and campaigns from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Using thousands of media articles and government documents, in addition to dozens of interviews with politicians, religious leaders, and journalists who covered the campaigns, Bobbitt brings up-to-date the research on state lotteries in the Southeast United States. Accessible and journalistic in style, Lottery Wars is an ideal supplement to any political communication course.
