Download or read book The Federal Courts written by Richard A. Posner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal courts are the world’s most powerful judiciary and a vital element of the American political system. In recent decades, these courts have experienced unprecedented growth in caseload and personnel. Many judges and lawyers believe that a “crisis in quantity” is imperiling the ability of the federal judiciary to perform its historic function of administering justice fairly and expeditiously. In a substantially revised edition of his widely acclaimed 1985 book The Federal Courts: Crisis and Reform, Chief Judge Richard A. Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit provides a comprehensive evaluation of the federal judiciary and a detailed program of judicial reform. Drawing on economic and political theory as well as on legal analysis and his own extensive judicial experience, Posner sketches the history of the federal courts, describes the contemporary institution, appraises the concerns that have been expressed with the courts’ performance, and presents a variety of proposals for both short-term and fundamental reform. In contrast to some of the direr prophecies of observers of the federal courts, Posner emphasizes the success of these courts in adapting to steep caseload growth with minimum sacrifice in quality. Although the book ranges over a variety of traditional topics in federal jurisdiction, the focus is steady on federal judicial administration conceived of as an interdisciplinary approach emphasizing system rather than doctrine, statistics rather than impressions, and caseload rather than cases. Like the earlier edition, this book promises to be a landmark in the empirical study of judicial administration.

This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fine mathematical biography.”—John Allen Paulos, New York Times Book Review Just when we thought we knew everything about Lewis Carroll, here comes this “insightful . . . scholarly . . . serious” (John Butcher, American Scientist) biography that will appeal to Alice fans everywhere. Fascinated by the inner life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Robin Wilson, a Carroll scholar and a noted mathematics professor, has produced this revelatory book—filled with more than one hundred striking and often playful illustrations—that examines the many inspirations and sources for Carroll’s fantastical writings, mathematical and otherwise. As Wilson demonstrates, Carroll made significant contributions to subjects as varied as voting patterns and the design of tennis tournaments, in the process creating large numbers of imaginative recreational puzzles based on mathematical ideas. Some images in this ebook have been redacted.
Download or read book A Decade after the Global Recession written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the 2009 global recession. Most emerging market and developing economies weathered the global recession relatively well, in part by using the sizable fiscal and monetary policy ammunition accumulated during prior years of strong growth. However, their growth prospects have weakened since then, and many now have less policy space. This study provides the first comprehensive stocktaking of the past decade from the perspective of emerging market and developing economies. Many of these economies have now become more vulnerable to economic shocks. The study discusses lessons from the global recession and policy options for these economies to strengthen growth and prepare for the possibility of another global downturn.
Download or read book Rendezvous Frankfurt written by Ilona Cole and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of love emerges from a devastating war in Ilona Cole's Renzdezvous / Frankfurt. This engaging love story and memoir is a portrait of two different people brought together by unusual circumstances, destined to spend a lifetime of happiness and bliss in each other's arms. The story begins in 1948, post World War II, as a young woman who unwillingly witnessed her world crumble right before her very eyes due to the devastation of war. Her hometown completely destroyed, she starts her new life working for the American Northern Area Command Headquarters. Little did she know that fate would bring a handsome, young American soldier to Frankfurt, at the same command headquarters where their fifty-year love story would begin. Rendezvous / Frankfurt follows the couple through the ongoing stages of their lives. Together, they experience the rest of the world for the first time through their numerous travels. They also explore the depths of human emotions as they encounter heartbreaks in their tale of love and perseverance. We follow the couple through the ongoing stages of their lives together: WWII Germany; the difficult move and transition to the United States; their marriage and honeymoon; traveling and art collecting over the years; their exploration of good food, wines, and other delights of the senses; to their connections with family and friends and the inevitable tragedies, losses, and heartbreaks that come from living; ending the memoir with their 50th Wedding Anniversary, and beyond. It is a positive tale of love and dedication that inspires the readers as we go through the journey with them. The author's voice shines through the telling of their many life and culinary adventures. Also, several pictures included in the memoir let the reader see a bit of their world and the couple as they live and age together. A sentimental and inspirational read, Rendezvous / Frankfurt shows that not only adversity and hatred can emerge out of a destructive war. New life, love, and perseverance also have a chance if one has the foresight, stamina, and good fortune to hold on to.

Download or read book Twentieth Century China written by Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth Century China: New Approaches is an important revisionist study of China's recent past. The chapters throw light on a variety of subjects within the field, which has recently undergone considerable change. The three major parts of this reader take into account the historical shape of the century, local perspectives on national history, and reflections on cultural history. The chapters in this volume reflect a move away from a Western-centred analysis of Chinese history, as well as the new wealth of archival material made accessible over the last decade. They highlight in challenging ways important topics that have generated considerable excitement among historians. Subjects discussed include the watershed date of 1949, feminism, the revolutions, the discourse of the communist party, and political theatre in modern China.
