    Book Description

    Traditional historiography describes the repartimiento de mercancías as a forced system of production and consumption in which officials of the Spanish crown compelled Mexican Indians to produce goods marketable in the Spanish economy and to purchase expensive and undesired Spanish products. The author challenges this conventional portrayal of Indian-Spanish economic relations by arguing that Indian market behavior was economically rational and voluntary. He further argues that the repartimiento was an institution designed to overcome market imperfections inherent in Mexico’s colonial economy and to facilitate the extension of credit in a cross-cultural environment.

    Examining repartimiento production of cochineal, a dyestuff produced exclusively by Oaxacan Indians and representing Mexico’s most valued export after silver, this study shows that Indians produced cochineal for the market voluntarily because it provided them with needed income. The primary role of the repartimiento was to provide Mexico’s indigenous peasantry with credit, without which they could not have participated in the market as extensively as they did. Owing to the difficulty of collecting debts, credit provision was monopolized by agents of the Crown, the alcaldes mayores, who alone possessed the legal leverage needed to enforce the payment of debts. Though Spanish officials profited from the repartimiento, their economic gains were not so great as traditionally believed.

    Overall, the book demonstrates that Mexican Indians were much more actively engaged in the market than customarily imagined, and were adept at promoting their interests despite the discriminating policies of colonialism. The book rounds out its account of the repartimiento by examining the transatlantic trade in cochineal, especially in its late colonial decline.

                    5 out of 5 stars Much great information and well written ( you might expect).......2007-03-22

                    I guess you might expect a 5th edition book on reasoning and writing style to be well written! It is. Designed for 1st year law students, I got it becaause I am not an attny but spend a lot of time reading federal manuals and regulations with a lot of legal reaaoning beneath them, and then interpreting them and writing guidance to what they mean. Also i work in a field where cases regularly go to administrative law judges or where I get decisons back from them, and I also try to act in coordination with decisions in other jurisdictions or case that I am aware of. I found the book very useful. it actually functions as a fairly good working overview of the legal "system" - briefs, opinions, depositions, motions, claims, etc, while focusing most of the course on reasoning and writing per se. Some might might also enjoy the older 1970s book, cited by Neumann, Twining, "how to do things with rules." Books like Neumann on clear reasoning and clear writing are always useful, and this will likely improve your general writing skills as well.

                    5 out of 5 stars Excellant Introduction to legal writing style.......2002-07-28

                    The text focuses on constructing proof of a conclusion of law and teaches format, style, and grammar collaterally. The goal is to help students learn how to make the
                    kind of writing decisions that center on the need to prove analysis. Most students have substantial difficulties learning how to construct proof. If format and style
                    receive primary emphasis, the problem is compounded because the student is invited to mimic the customary appearance of a document, rather than to think through its
                    content and inner logic. Moreover, format comes easier to students who have already learned the dynamics of proof, and legal writing's heightened requirements of
                    style and grammar may be easier to accept when they are explained as ways of clarifying proof. And as a skill, style is much more valuable when rewriting second and
                    third drafts than in producing a first draft.

                    Part I of the text introduces students to the court and litigation systems, the structure and operation of rules of law, judicial opinions, and methods of briefing them.
                    Legal writing in general is introduced in Part II. Part III explains how to write an office memorandum; organize proof of a conclusion of law; use authority; analyze
                    facts; and use paragraphing, style, and citations. Part IV helps students with their first law school examinations. Part V introduces the advocacy skills of theory
                    development, argumentation, and accurate handling of procedural postures. Writing a persuasive motion memorandum is covered in Part VI; appellate briefs in Part
                    VII; and oral argument in Part VIII.

                    5 out of 5 stars Get Mr. Neumann's Book!.......2002-07-14

                    I got this book from the law library at school and I am going to buy Mr. Neumann's 2002 edition if there is one.
                    This is a good book to have for Law School!

                    I have read many pre-law books. This book explains so much in just two short concisely written chapters. I do have one small complaint the title of this book is wrong, this book covers so much more!

                    This book is an introduction to law, it explains and provides a general overview of the civil procedure process and goes over case briefing. I think this book is more useful than Helen Shapo's book on Legal Writing. In short, GET IT!

                    5 out of 5 stars American Law the Essence of Persuasive Writing.......2000-07-05

                    Mr. Newmann, Jr., the author, has captured the essential ingredients of American Common-Law, from it's heritage, rule analysis, and sources of law to it's practical application using lawyerly persuasion with words. Presented is a practical, logical, and understandable book format that supports the applied art of legal interpreting, reasoning, persuasive writing. This book is a must-have for all who desire to analyze facts with rules and then create persuasive or predictive legal written results in legal style.

                              5 out of 5 stars Thank You For Writing This Book!.......2007-10-09

                              I bought this book a few weeks ago. I was in the "how to" section for graphic software. This book stood out. I read a few pages and put all the other books back. This book has so much information for starting a business. I am modeling my home based business with the ideas from Mr. Smith's book. this book has everything. Now that I know there is an updated version, I will buy that as well. This book is a necessity for anyone starting their business. It is a blessing! Thank you so much and may you continue to have many blessings!!!

                              5 out of 5 stars Excellent to Lessen the Fear.......2007-09-23

                              I have been wanting to start a web-based design business, but some of the details are a bit scary to me. A friend recommended that I get this book, and he was right! It's packed full of very useful information in a highly understandable manner and language.

                              The business aspects helped me to clarify some of the confusing aspects of starting a business, and the examples of contracts is worth the price of the book alone.

                              I'd totally recommend this book to anyone looking into it for the first time. If you've already dabbled in a home business before, you may find this a bit too basic.

                              5 out of 5 stars Excellent, Cost Effective Resource.......2007-07-20

                              About a year ago, I bought Sitepoint's Web Design Business Kit, by Brenden Sinclair. At the time, I thought it was a good read. After reading Jim Smith's book on the same topic, I look back on the Business Kit and find it to be quite superficial. Sinclair focuses more on outsourcing and working on the business as opposed to working in it. Smith presents his information from a "man of many hats" point of view. As it applies to my situation, Smith's book is more useful.

                              I would hire Jim as a business consultant in a heart beat. I wish I would have read this book a long time ago. Do you know what can happen if you disable someone's site for non-payment? What if you register a client's domain name in your name, and then there's a domain name disupute from another organiztion... want to be in the middle of that? What about those of you who work as subcontracting agents? Do your contracts protect from issues between the original contractor and the stakeholder? This is just a taste of what you'll learn in this book... not HTML, CSS, PHP, C++, frameworks, etc.

                              5 out of 5 stars Read The Cover!!!.......2007-07-04

                              This book is not to teach you how to design a great looking website!
                              The book was written to give you some guidance starting a web design business in your home. I found the book does just what it says it will.
                              If you are thinking of going into this business,part time or full time, the book is a great starting point to give you an idea of what to expect.

                              I enjoyed the reading and recommend it.

                              5 out of 5 stars I'm really glad I purchased this book!.......2007-05-11

                              As someone who is just starting up a web development business, I have found this book to be invaluable. The author is honest and thorough in his presentation of what it takes to start and run a successful business. He includes many helpful suggestions such as how to write a client contract, how to develop a business plan, how to market your business, and how to make a successful sales presentation.

                                This volume moves beyond traditional studies of Jordan's politics to explore the interplay between politics and economy. Examining the phenomenon of market reform in the developing world, Timothy J. Piro assesses the state's contradictory impulses toward privatization and continued state intervention in the economy. Drawing on a wealth of primary materials, the author illuminates the kingdom's unique politics and argues that market reform is dependent on domestic rather than international political structures.

                                  Book Description

                                  This book is written for the backbone of America: the working class people. It's for the blue collar workers who have never had any money, grew up without any money, who have been stuck with low paying jobs, and no prospects for a better one. However, there is a way up and out of their bleak financial hole.

                                  In the seven simple steps used in his book, Erlend Peterson, a certified financial planner, provides anyone with the tools to break the cycle of poverty and become financially secure. It may seem impossible, but it's not. All it takes is making some fundamental changes in lifestyle, attitude, and presentation. The key is to start working toward realistic financial goals now. Money Changes Everything provides all the necessary tools and information to help working class people realize their dreams.

                                  It isn't a matter of being smarter or better looking or being in better physical shape. They don't have to be a college graduate or full of driving ambition, they just need to be focused, set a goal, and then do all they can to work toward that goal.

                                            The advent of the euro is a significant event for portfolio managers, both within and outside the monetary union. The euro will affect portfolio decisions through a variety of channels and the emergence of a single currency marks the disappearance of explicit and psychological barriers to international investing. The set of investment opportunities qualifying as 'domestic' is expanding, while the need for diversification across currencies must now be met by an increased demand for assets which are not denominated in euros.

                                            This paper examines the principal factors influencing the portfolio reallocation process following the introduction of the euro. Three broad categories of possible portfolio allocation are considered: domestic versus non-domestic investment, debt versus equity investment, and public debt versus private debt investment.
