    Prior to 1906, the U.S. Supreme Court had never tried a criminal case--and the high court had yet to assert its power over state criminal courts. That was all to change after the events of a cold January night earlier that year in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Blond, beautiful, 21-year-old Nevada Taylor had hopped on one of Chattanooga's new electric trolleys after work. Before she could reach home, the young woman was waylaid and raped by an unknown assailant. At first Taylor couldn't describe her attacker to town sheriff Joseph Shipp, as she hadn't seen the man clearly, but she soon became convinced he was "a Negro with a soft, kind voice." In just 17 days, a drifter dubbed a "Negro fiend" by the Chattanooga News had been hastily arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang.

    Two idealistic black lawyers intervened, filing appeals to the state and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court, citing the numerous rights denied the most-likely innocent Ed Johnson. (One of the attorneys said of the suspect, "But for the will of God, that is me.") The high court agreed to hear the appeal, staying the Tennessee execution. But back in Chattanooga, the politically minded Sheriff Shipp looked the other way as a bloodthirsty crowd of hundreds broke Johnson out of jail, beat him brutally, and lynched him on the county bridge.

    Mark Curriden, a legal writer for the Dallas Morning News, and Leroy Phillips, a Chattanooga trial attorney, have painstakingly researched and vividly recounted the events of this oft-overlooked but significant episode in America's legal history, from the details of the original crime to the eventual federal conviction of Shipp and members of the lynch mob for contempt. A superb combination of journalistic storytelling and academic rigor. --Paul Hughes

    Book Description

    In this profound and fascinating book, the authors revisit an overlooked Supreme Court decision that changed forever how justice is carried out in the United States.
    In 1906, Ed Johnson was the innocnet black man found guilty of the brutal rape of Nevada Taylor, a white woman, and sentenced to die in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two black lawyers, not even part of the original defense, appealed to the Supreme Court for a stay of execution, and the stay, incredibly, was granted. Frenzied with rage at the deision, locals responded by lynching Johnson, and what ensued was a breathtaking whirlwind of groundbreaking legal action whose import, Thurgood Marshall would claim, "has never been fully explained." Provocative, thorough, and gripping, Contempt of Court is a long-overdue look at events that clearly depict the peculiar and tenuous relationship between justice and the law.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic book for law or history geeks!.......2007-03-08

    This is a terrific and rarely-told story from our nation's legal history. This well-written book will be fascinating to anyone who has an interest in the law, civil rights, our nation's history, or just in captivating stories.

    5 out of 5 stars Must Read.......2005-06-14

    For one interested in the history of federalism in this country, the book is a must read. The book can be enjoyed by both lawyers and lawmen. If you want to understand how and why the United States Supreme Court became involved in declaring state laws unconstitutional and the need for the Federal Courts to apply the United States Constitution to actions of local officials, this book will enable you to understand those reasons. A true story of unhearald courage by a very determined and brave attorney.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent book.......2003-11-10

    I ended up reading this book in a little over two days. I was quickly hooked by the fascinating and horrifying story of Ed Johnson, an indigent black man, unjustly accused and convicted by an all-white judicial system that was very typical of the south at the turn of the century. Mr. Johnson's second set of lawyers, two courageous black lawyers, from Chattanooga appeal to the US Supreme Court and set the stage for the most intriguing case to ever be heard before the court. Read the book!

    5 out of 5 stars Scary moments of our past.......2003-03-10

    When Leroy Phillips, Jr. came to visit my school in Chattanooga, I was overwhelmed by the knowledge that something like this could have happened in my city. After his talk, I decided to read the book for myself. At first, I noticed that the authors took a lot of time to research the subject thoroughly, so much so that I think they know more about Chattanooga than I do, keeping in mind Leroy Phillips does live here. What also impressed me the most was the nonfiction story itself. The story is about a black man named Ed Johnson who was put on trial at first as a scapegoat. However, he eventually was a target for all anti-black aggressions. I mean, for me the 60's were scary, but the brutality and violence of the early 1900's, especially these incidents, are just terrifying. This book will show a detailed look at Chattanooga's past; it will show some historically fascinating law and court decisions, and it will just be an amazing read.

    5 out of 5 stars Powerful history of the Law and Racisim.......2003-02-19

    Black man accused of raping a white woman. Shakey identification. All white judge, jury, police, sheriff, and all lawyers on both sides. A death penalty case. A jury in the midst of trial jumps up and threatens to rip the defendant's heart out on the spot. He is found guilty. From date of crime to guilty verdict--one week. Defendant advised by his own lawyers after trial: you have two choices, waive appeal and let the State execute you, or appeal and let the mob lynch you.

    Then two Black lawyers take up the case. The Supreme Court is horrified at the gross miscarriage of justice, and issues a stay. But the mob, with the Sheriff's apparent approval, decides the legal process is just taking too long, and lynches the defendant.

    Contempt of Court tells this story in great detail, bringing all of the characters to life. A fascinating history of the role racism played in the courts at the turn of the century.

    But the heart of the book is what followed the lynching. Unlike most cases which were quickly forgotten, the Supreme Court itself instituted contempt charges against the Sheriff for failing to carry out its stay of execution. This is the one and only contempt proceeding ever tried in the Supreme Court itself. It also marked the first time the federal courts had ever sought to review a state court criminal proceeding--setting the stage for such well known rules as "Miranda" and the exclusionary rule.

    I completely agree with the blurb on the book's cover. This volume belongs on the shelf next to Simple Justice and Gideon's Trumpet.

      Book Description

      "An uplifting ready for anyone with a hectic and stressful life, which is, let's face it, all of us." — Neil Bradford, Managing Director, Forrester North America

      There has been a great deal of talk during the past two decades about the serious problem of stress and burnout. Most of the discussion focuses on the pessimistic side of the story. The underlying assumption is that we are in a fierce struggle, one that we frequently lose. Burnout is presented as almost inevitable, and solutions focusing on recovery are offered.

      But there is another, more optimistic side to the story. What about the people who endure tough times with courage and grace, or bounce back from crises with renewed energy when logic tells you the situation should have left them depleted and discouraged? For all the talk about burnout, the fact is that the majority of people spend most of their lives coping amazingly well.

      Being good at not burning out is a skill more than a genetic personality trait. Just like any skill, you have to work at it. You can learn to manage your behaviour and your thinking, but it takes discipline and practice to do it.

      There are thousands of success stories every day about people who continue to survive and make the best of tough times. So how do they do it? What are the real stories of how individuals survive and thrive during uncertain and difficult times? And what is their advice on preventing burnout? This book answers these questions.

      I bought the 2 page excerpt of this book and was very disappointed. While it reviewed the 5 key messages to avoiding burnout, I would have rather spent $15 on the whole book to get more content than spend $6 on a very brief summary.

            4 out of 5 stars Great primer.......2007-06-25

            I read the reviews for this book and was a little hesitant so I checked it out at my library. Wow! What a good starter book for economic, healthy cooking!

            As many reviewers mentioned, it has some good basic recipes and a good basic shopping list of items you should have at all times. One reviewer said that the prices for items were questionable. The list (which appears on pages 9 and 10) is preceded by a paragraph in which the authors state that these are the prices at a discount grocery store which sells no name brands. Also, this was in 1997. The list looks accurate to me as I know of several such stores (the only reason this is not a five-star for me is that I wish the prices were updated). As for readers who didn't like the scarcity of red meat, the authors explain their reason for not using meat (nutritional, environmental, etc) but also add that this is a personal choice and that they do, in fact, eat other kinds of meat on occasion. I think this is difficult to take in our country where meat is consumed at nearly every meal!

            Other reviewers were bothered by the simple recipes. I, however, wasn't. A lot of nutritional food is really quite simple and I believe that the author wanted to keep it this way to avoid promoting the buying of more and more ingredients. The end of the book mentions that many people don't cook at home anymore because they believe it is too time consuming or too hard. Simple recipes that still taste great are a good inducement to stay at home!

            Overall, I think this is a great book, put out by real people who have lots of kids and don't want to spend a lot of money. This is a good read for those who are not brand-obsessed or focused on gourmet cooking but rather healthy, tasty home cooking with little bother.

            4 out of 5 stars Great book if you're searching for a place to start...........2004-09-29

            I have had this book for a long time, and while it is no longer useful to me (I've learned a lot since then) I think it would be good for someone just starting to learn to save money, cook healthy, etc. I have learned to be frugal, shop wisely and cook almost everything from scratch. BUT -- for 12 years I was a single working mother with absolutey no idea how simple it was to shop, cook and eat this way. I would have loved for someone to give me an alternative to fast food and convenience foods way back then. Not everyone knows all of the 'simple' recipes or even how to cook - especially when you are overloaded with work, kids, etc. If you don't know better, cooking from scratch can seem overwhelming and time consuming. I think this is a great book, simply written, with the intention of sharing what they've learned.

            1 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money! Don't bother!.......2003-10-26

            I was surprised this book even got published. It is way overpriced and altogether a disappointment. It was more of a "very" basic recipe book than how to save money on food. Mary Hunt's "How to be a Cheapskate" had tons of ideas how to save money on food and cut cost. If you want to save money or get ideas get Mary Hunt's book-don't bother with this one.

            5 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!!!.......2002-01-08

            This is an all around GREAT basic guide to feeding a family. I'm a professional mom who has relied too many years on eating out and convenience foods due to lack of time and picky eaters. Other cookbooks I tried were filled with recipes my family didn't like and ingredients that were sometimes hard to find. Most everything in THIS book, my family WILL eat and I CAN cook, plus there is the money saving feature. There are plenty of good ideas to answer that nagging question of what to cook. I made a shopping checklist on my computer based on the pantry item list in the introduction of the book. The shopping list helps me insure that I will most likely have on hand whatever I need for last minute cooking needs.
            Since the book covers everything the authors feed their family, a few extremely basic recipes are properly included; but this is not the rule and definitely not a reason to discredit the book.

            1 out of 5 stars Stupidest waste of money ever published.......2001-12-05

            This books should be called "I want an alternate income to support my family, so I wrote a book!". The recipes are too simplistic, not to mention questionably balanced. The author appears to rely heavily on convenience foods rather than real meals and the shopping list prices for this consumer are questionable. I don't know where she's shopping at, but at those prices, the store won't be open long!

            Horrible book -- don't waste your money.

                The Strategic Management Approach, or SMA, is a straightforward planning method designed to help development managers plan and manage successful programs and projects. The SMA is a package of management tools. Some of these tools have been around for more than 30 years, while some are more recent creations, targeted specifically to the needs of development managers today. "Because of its rigorous, systematic, flexible approach, the SMA has helped our programs to succeed by improving overall project management. The SMA has guided the design of our strategies and projects, ensuring sound decisionmaking and achievement of our conservation outcomes." * Efrain Niembro, Director Of Operations, Mexico And Central America Department, Conservation International "This is a much needed book, with a critical emphasis on strategy. I have been looking for something like this, and I can tell you it doesn't exist." * Steve Arnold, Ph. D., Former Director, International Development Program, School of International Service, American University and currently Senior Lecturer, Evans School of Public Policy, University of Washington "Just a note to let you know that the SMA is filtering down into all sorts of crevices in remote places. We are applying it with local project staff (all village people) and emphasizing the logical process. It has been accepted with great enthusiasm and seen as a great need for making the leadership of the communities work better. They can now better understand the process involved in designing activities in relation to a common vision while also budgeting resources accordingly rather than just choosing figures from the sky. This is the first time anything like this has been done here at the ground level." * Roger James, Village Resource Management Specialist, Makira, Solomon Islands

                  Book Description

                  The developing world is often viewed as marginal to global theory. The essays in this collection situate the developing world centrally within the globalizing process, and demonstrate how the global era has meant the intensification of uneven development.
                  The contributors to Globalisation and the Third World examine issues of capital flows, migration, health, the environment, popular culture in Latin America, cultural imperialism, popular music and religion to demonstrate the concrete forms taken by globalizing processes in the world today. This book offers both an invaluable introduction to a variety of development issues as well as providing an important contribution to the current debates about globalization.

                    Book Description

                    This study is the outcome of a series of original investigations into the deep crisis in which the organised labour movement in the South finds itself as a result of changes in the global economy. The regional overviews and illustrative country case studies from Asia, Latin America and Africa show how trade unions currently face a whole variety of difficult challenges. These include new management methods, the growing influence of the informal sector and casualisation of labour; and the ever larger participation of women workers who are currently not represented adequately by trade unions. The volume concludes with an exploration of possible strategies for the future.

                      Book Description

                      Wealth and money, which are meant to be sources of human happiness and facilitators of good social relations has instead become a monstrosity beyond human control. The unbridled quest to make money and accumulate wealth as well as assign social signification on the basis of the outcome of individuals' efforts in the process has ended up distorting existence and the meaning of being human itself. This work brings together a collection of very provocative and challenging articles that confront the problems created by wealth. Can there be happiness when wealth is increasingly concentrated in fewer and fewer hands? Can wealth really bring happiness? And what are the implications of the current trend to commodify everything for the project of human happiness? The contributors to the volume argue that there is a need to change wealth accumulation and its core purpose. They contend that from wealth accumulation the gear must change to wealth alleviation, because the ways the rich become wealthy often correlate with the ways the number of the poor increase. Following from this, they argue that rather than the current focus on poverty alleviation, the focus should shift to wealth alleviation because a happy future for all lies in promoting human well-being and removing human ill-being through the spring wells of solidarity and humanity. ______ Professor Mammo Muchie was born in Ethiopia and educated until matriculation in Gonder.

                            Book Description

                            In the new unipolar world of globalization, the bargaining power and sense of solidarity of Third World countries have never been weaker. But their shared problems, this author argues, remain a reality which requires political expression. Does the Third World still even exist? What role, if any, can it have in the 21st century’s new topography of power? Roy Ash Narain explores modern Latin American history, with emphasis on the changes wrought in the 1980s and 90s in the context of the continent's wider relations with the Third World and the USA.

                              From the author: This paper identifies three defining features of globalisation that have been habitually misrepresented by the anti-globalisation movement. First, that globalisation entails a universal shift towards economic liberalisation, rather than a selective liberalisation with particular disadvantage to the Third World. The movement also bewails the erosion of traditional economic functions in Northern governments, thus diminishing their agency in globalisation and largely absolving them of responsibility for it. Instead, the focus of protest should shift from international financial institutions (IFIS) to the state-IFI interface. Finally, the movement fails to engage with the ever-changing nature of capitalism's structural search for expanding profits.
