Download or read book Law and Magic written by Christine Corcos and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nearly two dozen studies in this collection explore the very rich ways in which the rule of law and the practice of magic enrich and inform each other. The authors bring both a U.S. and a comparative law perspective while examining areas such as law and religion, criminal law, intellectual property law, the law of evidence, and animal rights. Topics include alchemy in fifteenth-century England, a discussion of how a courtroom is like a magic show, stage hypnotism and the law, Scottish witchcraft trials in the eighteenth century, the question of whether stage magicians can look to intellectual property to protect their rights, tarot card readings and the First Amendment, and an analysis of whether a magician can be qualified as an expert witness under the Federal Rules of Evidence. "[E]rudite discussions of historical aspects all presented in a readable style. This text is greatly recommended." -- Joel Moskowitz, M.D., MagiCurrents "This fascinating collection explores the unexpected intersections and overlaps of the worlds of law and magic. From the rights of fortune tellers to the wrongs of pulling rabiits out of hats, from the use of magic in courtrooms to the use of intellectual property laws to protect magic secrets, from the illusion of burning your assistant alive to the reality of burning magicians as witches, these essays run the gamut. Eminently readable, thought-provoking, and highly informative, these essays should appeal to magicians, lawyers, or any other practitioner of the art of deception." -- Simon Aronson, Author of Try the Impossible and six other books presenting Aronson's original card magic creations; retired partner, Lord Bissell & Brook "This book contextualizes concepts from intellectual property and copyright law to animal rights and labor laws using the world of magic as backdrop. Discussions of the historical relationship between magic and law show how magic helped shape law's treatment of religion, science, and freedom of information. The chapters on modern law and magic serve as a handbook for magicians and entertainers as well as providing a unique way for students of law to study the concepts of the stage of magic entertainment." -- David Hira, David Hira Productions, Co-Producer of "Shows In A Box" "[F]or those whose lives sit squarely in both legal and conjuring circles, Law and Magic will be worth a look." -- Gabe Fajuri, MAGIC Magazine "[T]he 24 essays in this book are wonderful and full of wonder. They should be required reading..." -- GENII Magazine"[A] fascinating array of commentary that could be related to many shades or avenues of the concept of magic... I do hope Law and Magic will be read by many." -- The Amazing Kreskin "This is an important collection of essays that provides a definitive scholarly source on research into the various interconnections between law and magic. Written with wit and humour, the essays are a fascinating read for legal and non-legal scholars alike." -- The Law and Politics Book Review

Download or read book The Life History of a Star written by Kelly Easton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Donald Justice wrote in "On a Picture by Burchfield" that "art keeps long hours," he might have been describing his own life. Although he early on struggled to find a balance between his life and art, the latter became a way of experiencing his life more deeply. He found meaning in human experience by applying traditional religious language to his artistic vocation. Central to his work was the translation of the language of devotion to a learned American vernacular. Art not only provided him with a wealth of intrinsically worthwhile experiences but also granted rich and nuanced ways of experiencing, understanding, and being in the world. For Donald Justice--recipient of some of poetry's highest laurels, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Bollingen Prize, and the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry--art was a way of life. Because Jerry Harp was Justice's student, his personal knowledge of his subject--combined with his deep understanding of Justice's oeuvre--works to remarkable advantage in For Us, What Music? Harp reads with keen intelligence, placing each poem within the precise historical moment it was written and locating it in the context of the literary tradition within which Justice worked. Throughout the text runs the narrative of Justice's life, tying together the poems and informing Harp's interpretation of them. For Us, What Music? grants readers a remarkable understanding of one of America's greatest poets.

Download or read book Integrated Water Resources Research written by Jason A. Hubbart and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenic and natural disturbances to freshwater quantity and quality are a greater issue for society than ever before. To successfully restore water resources requires understanding the interactions between hydrology, climate, land use, water quality, ecology, and social and economic pressures. This Special Issue of Water includes cutting edge research broadly addressing investigative areas related to experimental study designs and modeling, freshwater pollutants of concern, and human dimensions of water use and management. Results demonstrate the immense, globally transferable value of the experimental watershed approach, the relevance and critical importance of current integrated studies of pollutants of concern, and the imperative to include human sociological and economic processes in water resources investigations. In spite of the latest progress, as demonstrated in this Special Issue, managers remain insufficiently informed to make the best water resource decisions amidst combined influences of land use change, rapid ongoing human population growth, and changing environmental conditions. There is, thus, a persistent need for further advancements in integrated and interdisciplinary research to improve the scientific understanding, management, and future sustainability of water resources.
