Book Description

How should a judge's moral convictions bear on his judgments about what the law is? Lawyers, sociologists, philosophers, politicians, and judges all have answers to that question: these range from "nothing" to "everything." In his new book Ronald Dworkin argues that the question is much more complex than it has often been taken to be and charts a variety of dimensions--semantic, jurisprudential, and doctrinal--in which law and morals are undoubtedly interwoven. He restates and summarizes his own widely discussed account of these connections, which emphasizes the sovereign importance of moral principle in legal and constitutional interpretation, and then reviews and criticizes the most influential rival theories to his own. He argues that pragmatism is empty as a theory of law, that value pluralism misunderstands the nature of moral concepts, that constitutional originalism reflects an impoverished view of the role of a constitution in a democratic society, and that contemporary legal positivism is based on a mistaken semantic theory and an erroneous account of the nature of authority. In the course of that critical study he discusses the work of many of the most influential lawyers and philosophers of the era, including Isaiah Berlin, Richard Posner, Cass Sunstein, Antonin Scalia, and Joseph Raz. Dworkin's new collection of essays and original chapters is a model of lucid, logical, and impassioned reasoning that will advance the crucially important debate about the roles of justice in law.

Black Robes,White justice: Why Our Legal System Doesn't Work for BlacksI.......2006-02-24

I'm still reading this book. First time reading a book like this.This is one of the greatest. I recommend this book to be added to your library. It's gives truthful information of the legal system concerning the racism of blacks in the court system.

Racial Bias In The Legal System Exposed...by a JUDGE!!!.......2005-01-25

As a New Yorker, I remember Judge Bruce Wright well. He was dubbed: "Cut 'em loose Bruce", because he often released arrested citizens without their having to post bail money. Mr. Wright upheld the law that bail is not to be used as a punishment, but only as a guarantee that the accused party return to court to face the charges against he/she. This infuriated the "powers-that-be". The fact that Judge Wright is a Black man, and many of those who came before him were also Black people, swayed the media to portray his actions as racially motivated, as opposed to his acknowledgement of the law. His book superbly reflects the blatant inequitableness of the criminal justice system and how it is purposely designed to work against Blacks and other people of color. His personal experiences, as a sitting judge, lend great credence to his analogy and conclusions concerning the legal system. Wright fearlessly gives names and elaborates on instances wherein he witnessed and experienced bias in the system. This book is not written in "textbook" fashion, provides some humorous irony and is very informative. Add it to your library.

A book every American and law student should read.......2004-02-03

This book is an eye opener. It give you the truth behind the justice system from the perpective of a Sumpreme Court Judge who exposed the racism in the court system in New York. I never heard of Bruce Wright and happen I purchased this book. I have a lot of respect for the author.

Book Description

Rubin's book is a well-written examination of the issues and conflicts that are faced by the juvenile courts on a daily basis: it takes readers behind the scenes for a realistic analysis. The opening chapter depicts an exchange that might occur between judge, child, parents, lawyers, probation officials, and social workers during a typical day. The bulk of the book contains chapters on five distinguished working juvenile judges, describing the style of each. A final chapter simulates a meeting between the five judges to discuss policy.

Orgastic read 4 computer nerds, intelectuals, and theorists.......2004-04-16

I accidentally purchased this book on an Amazon review, and was sorely duped.

This is not the book for a beginner or intermidiate looking to set up his home network with step by step practical instructions. This book is better suited for the IT guy in training for a company with about 250-500 employees.

If you have formal computer training, don't mind being inundated with terms like WINS, DHCP, PSTN, CCITT, LSA, NVRAM, NWLINK, and enjoy reading dictionaries in your spare time just for fun, I highly recommend this book.

I guess my strong negative reaction came because I thought I was purchasing a "guide to installing a small office / home office network."

Instead of practical and sensible solutions, I got the extremes in spectrum: Simple explanations like this: "Sometimes the NIC drivers are out of date or they perform poorly, causing windows errors. In this case the most current upgraded drivers for the NIC should be installed." (Wow! Upgrade drivers? Who knew?! Thanks for telling me! I never would have known that!) while the majority of the time I felt like this author couldn't get out of "professor" mode, and is talking to a class that already has months of his lectures already under the belt. ( I'm just glad I'm not the woman married to the man.)

For those that need practical and sensible solutions to building a home network, I found Windows XP home networking by Paul Thurrott much more concrete and even sensually pleasurable to read by comparison. AND GET THIS: I was actually able to build a home / small office network with the Thurrott book.

For those of you on the LQT and don't mind a little PROVO while working your NICNT, I wish you a big UNATKO, and hope you find a little YCORLL on your Xray 818 Charlie Foxtrot.

That's a Roger big 10-4 over and out- cuz' he's got you covered.

Peace - Out

Not too impressed.......2004-03-22

A decent enough book if you're a beginner Windows user looking to set up a LAN. Otherwise too superficial and Windows-oriented.

Necessary for certification students.......2003-11-24

This book is a necessary addition to your library if you are studying for certifications such as MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, ORACLE, SUN JAVA 2, CIW, MCAD, MCSD, and so on. These certifications generally test your ability operate (writing programs, installing OS, creating and managing Websites and databases, etc) in a corporate environment with Server machines and Server software such as Windows 2003 Server or Linux. Use this book to build a small but cheap test network to approximate a real corporate network - the principles are the same. Then purchase the Microsoft certification books from amazon - MS PRESS books usually have trial editions of the enterprise level software that would be quite expensive for a poor student. Then study your heart out and be free to experiment as you wish. And yes, I did get my MCSA this way. Good luck!

Excellent Networking Text.......2003-07-06

I looked at many networking books when trying to setup my home network. The books aimed at home networking were all too simple, but the corporate networking books were a bit over my head. SOHO Networking addressed everything I needed, including how to use a server on my home network -- most home networking books only consider peer-to-peer networking. I now have a mixed wired and wireless home network running a file server and 5 computers, plus a Tivo Series 2. This book explains everything well in an easy-to-understand style that does not oversimplify.

Today's LAN & Broadband Technology with Eye to Future:.......2002-10-30

This text is a must for anyone who wants to understand, plan or build a SOHO [small office home office] LAN [local area netword] with Broadband Internet access. It will save the reader many times the cost of the book in obtaining the system the first time around, whether he/she builds it him(her)self or contracts a vendor to do the work. The reader will not longer be force to rely solely on salespersons.
Text explains Client/Server LANS and Peer-to-Peer LANS. Various means to interconnecting PCs, hardwired Ethernet Cat 5/Cat 6 cabling to be the connectivity of choice where one can make holes in walls.
Separate and distinct in the Broadband/DSL Connection. And the security issues resulting from 24 & 7 connection to the Internet Provider.
Finally, the text gives a flash view of where all this technology is going.

Best Business Guide to Internet.......1997-02-21

Vince and other readers, I just ordered *eight more copies* of 'How to Grow Your Business,' to add to the one I already own. I plan on giving one to each member of my staff, because they keep asking me questions that are already answered so clearly in the book. And I will have a couple of copies to give away to friends, just in case. I have seen Vince speak at conferences, and he really knows his stuff. He's low-key, has top-notch integrity, and cares about people. I have not found a more useful book on the subject, nor a nicer, more knowledgeable consultant. He gets my highest recommendation. --Peter Johnson-- Chief Vision Holder, www.GreenJungle.com

Here is my COMPLAINT!.......1996-10-15

Dear Mr. Emery: I am very sorry to have to register this complaint about your book. I was halfway through reading it when I suddenly realized the book was such a valuable asset that I could no longer keep it in my house. I now keep the book at my bank in a safe deposit box. Unfortunately, this means I can only access the book during banking hours. This is really frustrating because your book is the most fact-filled and comprehensive source of doing business on the Internet I have been able to find (and believe me I've been looking!). Please do not write any more books as I only have a very small safe deposit box (besides the people in the bank are starting to look at me suspiciously because of my frequent visits to the vault). Yours in humor, Andre Demoraes nirvmind@csa.bu.edu

Easy and fast system.......2005-08-28

The system is fairly compressed, similar in concept to Mary Hunt's 'Money Makeover' but less detailed in its record-keeping. You basically estimate and spend in a few basic categories. For example, you might list "Utilities" with what you plan to spend and what you actually spend, but you won't break it down any further, into Gas, Electric, Phone, Cable TV, Internet, etc.

This is a good book for those who don't have time for elaborate systems or whose uaual method of financial management involves playing the ATM like a slot machine ("Will it give me money today?").

Excellent book that provides realistic help.......1998-01-11

I found this one of the most helpful books on this subject because it is full of really helpful practical suggesions. It takes you step-by-step through ways to improve your financial situation with examples, and also deals with the psychological factors that are often the real issues. I gave this book to both of my grown children who are just starting out on their own. I recommend it highly!
