Property Law

By: D. Benjamin Barros,Anna P. Hemingway,Shelley Cavalieri

An innovative Property casebook that reimagines the law school casebook format. Covering all the major topics included in a basic 1L Property course, Property Law leverages resources more typicall to an undergraduate textbook than a traditional law school casebook, making use of sidebars, illustrations, and other design devices to present material more clearly. The authors present concepts simply, then move the discussion toward complexity in contrast to the approach taken by many current property texts. Clear yet sophisticated, the casebook is the perfect choice for all skill levels. Including problems that students can and should be able to do on their own, explanatory answers, and skills-based exercises, this casebook is both professor-friendly and student-friendly. Themes that run through the course are highlighted throughout the book, resulting in a casebook that clearly presents the fundamentals of property law. This allows students to develop an understanding of basic concepts on their own while allowing professors to assist their students in developing an advanced understanding of property law. Although Property Law goes far beyond bar tested topics, the authors are experts on the property coverage on the bar exam, and wrote the book to give students exposure to every topic they are likely to see on the bar exam. New to the 3rd Edition: ● Some cases have been eliminated or shortened to make coverage more manageable, especially for four-credit courses. Edits from Second Edition will be included in the teacher's manual. ● Chapter 9 revised to include Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, the Supreme Court's most recent takings case. ● Additional corrections, updates, and refinements throughout. Professors and students will benefit from: ● Property Law starts from simplicity and moves to complexity: The book first provides text that explains the basic doctrine, then presents a simple case example, and finally moves to more complex issues. ● Cases are introduced with explanatory text discussing the law and issues surrounding the case. This radically different approach from most other casebooks allows students to have a better grasp of the concepts and themes before they even read the case. ● Problems and exercises that students can complete on their own, with explanatory answers included in an appendix. ● Innovative design that aids student learning, with sidebars, diagrams, charts, and illustrations that make concepts clearer to students. ● Cases that are used as examples, not introductions to legal rules. Many topics in the book feature introductory text, illustrations, and problem sets before a single case is introduced, to aid in students' legal learning. ● The inclusion of sample documents, helping students to understand core concepts. ● Perfect for a four-credit course, the book also features a modular design that can be used in courses of varying credit size. ● More comprehensive bar exam topic coverage than any competing book.

Development and Distribution of Discontinuous Morphological Variation of the Human Infracranial Skeleton

By: Shelley Rae Saunders

Over 1,400 individual skeletons from three major skeletal populations were examined for a series of approximately fifty infracranial non-metric traits. Trait frequencies are studied for size, sex and age differences, trait intercorrelations, and association with bone robusticity. Skeletal population studies are performed using various combinations of the traits and two distance statistics.

Sleep Paralysis

Night-mares, Nocebos, and the Mind-Body Connection

By: Shelley R Adler

Sleep Paralysis

Night-mares, Nocebos, and the Mind-Body Connection

By: Shelley R Adler

Sleep Paralysis explores a distinctive form of nocturnal fright: the "night-mare," or incubus. In its original meaning a night-mare was the nocturnal visit of an evil being that threatened to press the life out of its victim. Today, it is known as sleep paralysis-a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, when you are unable to move or speak and may experience vivid and often frightening hallucinations. Culture, history, and biology intersect to produce this terrifying sleep phenomenon. Although a relatively common experience across cultures, it is rarely recognized or understood in the contemporary United States. Shelley R. Adler's fifteen years of field and archival research focus on the ways in which night-mare attacks have been experienced and interpreted throughout history and across cultures and how, in a unique example of the effect of nocebo (placebo's evil twin), the combination of meaning and biology may result in sudden nocturnal death.

Australian Horror Films, 1973-2010

By: Peter Shelley

This pioneering work provides in-depth coverage of 76 horror films produced in Australia, where serial killers, carnivorous animals, mutants, zombies, vampires and evil spirits all receive the "antipodean" cinematic treatment unique to the Land Down Under. Titles covered were released between 1973 and 2010, a period coinciding with the revival of the long-dormant Australian film industry in the early 1970s, and continuing into the second wave of genre production spurred by the international success of the 2005 chiller Wolf Creek. The Cars That Ate Paris, The Last Wave, Roadgames, Razorback, Outback Vampires, Queen of the Damned, Black Water, and The Reef are among the titles represented. Each film is covered in a chapter that includes a cast and credits list, release information, contemporary reviews and DVD availability, as well as a synopsis and in-depth notes about the story, filmmaking techniques, acting performances, recurring themes and motifs, and overall effectiveness of the film as a work of horror.

Was Huck Black?

Mark Twain and African-American Voices

By: Shelley Fisher Fishkin

Was Huck Black?

Mark Twain and African-American Voices

By: Shelley Fisher Fishkin

Published in 1884, Huck Finn has become one of the most widely taught novels in American curricula. But where did Huckleberry Finn come from, and what made it so distinctive? Shelley Fisher Fishkin suggests that in Huckleberry Finn, more than in any other work, Mark Twain let African-American voices, language, and rhetorical traditions play a major role in the creation of his art. In Was Huck Black?, Fishkin combines close readings of published and unpublished writing by Twain with intensive biographical and historical research and insights gleaned from linguistics, literary theory, and folklore to shed new light on the role African-American speech played in the genesis of Huckleberry Finn. Given that book's importance in American culture, her analysis illuminates, as well, how the voices of African-Americans have shaped our sense of what is distinctively "American" about American literature. Fishkin shows that Mark Twain was surrounded, throughout his life, by richly talented African-American speakers whose rhetorical gifts Twain admired candidly and profusely. A black child named Jimmy whom Twain called "the most artless, sociable and exhaustless talker I ever came across" helped Twain understand the potential of a vernacular narrator in the years before he began writing Huckleberry Finn, and served as a model for the voice with which Twain would transform American literature. A slave named Jerry whom Twain referred to as an "impudent and satirical and delightful young black man" taught Twain about "signifying"--satire in an African-American vein--when Twain was a teenager (later Twain would recall that he thought him "the greatest man in the United States" at the time). Other African-American voices left their mark on Twain's imagination as well--but their role in the creation of his art has never been recognized. Was Huck Black? adds a new dimension to current debates over multiculturalism and the canon. American literary historians have told a largely segregated story: white writers come from white literary ancestors, black writers from black ones. The truth is more complicated and more interesting. While African-American culture shaped Huckleberry Finn, that novel, in turn, helped shape African-American writing in the twentieth century. As Ralph Ellison commented in an interview with Fishkin, Twain "made it possible for many of us to find our own voices." Was Huck Black? dramatizes the crucial role of black voices in Twain's art, and takes the first steps beyond traditional cultural boundaries to unveil an American literary heritage that is infinitely richer and more complex than we had thought.

A Principal's Tale

Life In 31 Days

By: Shelley McIntosh Ed.D

A PRINCIPAL'S TALE, at turns is personal and humorous, insightful and engaging. A PRINCIPAL'S TALE democratizes the public school administration conversation and offers insight and wisdom to anyone who wishes to show up more authentically, effectively, and ultimately powerfully in today's challenging education world. More personal in tone than traditional educational books, A PRINCIPAL'S TALE acknowledges that leadership requires risk and commitment, and the greatest risk of all is discovered as we learn how to educate our own way and lead with impact in today's ever-shifting educational world. My personal stories in the office to the classroom will shine at times personal and at times a humorous look into the everyday life of a principal. Written on a daily basis, similar to a diary or journal entry, the book details thirty-one days in the life of an urban school principal, painting a true picture of the professional, emotional, and personal experiences of those who lead a school and a family of educators and learners.
