Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, Case Files, vol. III (Wolff & Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, Case Files)
Batton Lash Manufacturer: Exhibit A Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0963395440 |
Amazon.com
Horror and humor are tough to pair without the end product seeming forced and therefore neither scary nor funny. This combining is not a problem for cartoonist Batton Lash, who has been making the frightening funny since the 1979 debut of Wolff & Byrd. Using his two main characters--lawyers who only take cases involving the supernatural--Lash manages to pick apart popular culture and dig deep into touchy issues, all while reveling in the standard tropes of horror comics. In this, the third collection of his bimonthly comic book series, the stories span such subjects as alien abduction (in a dead-on X-Files parody) and a guardian angel being sued for neglect. This book also contains Lash's most controversial issue to date: in a setting reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby, a woman impregnated with Satan's baby weighs the pros and cons of abortion.Book Description
Beware the Creatures of the Night--They have lawyers! This book collects issues 9-12 of the popular comic book series featuring Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd, whose clients are monsters and the supernaturally afflicted. In this volume you'll find great parodies of the X Files and Rosemary's Baby ("I'm Carrying Satan's Child!"), the story of a guardian angel sued for being incompetent (a must for Jack Benny fans!), plus a number of short stories, including "I Married a Quivering Blob of Jelly," and "The Man With His Own Personal Laugh Track."Customer Reviews:
Batton Lash's Lawyers Are Scarier Than My Lawyers!.......1998-12-30
So, of course you want to get in onthe ground floor, be the first on your block to be captivated by Alanna Wolff , Jeff Byrd, their secretary Mavis and the ebb and flow (sometimes literally) of their bizarre clients.

Democracy Upside Down: Public Opinion and Cultural Hegemony in The United States
Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 027592453X |
Book Description
"Cultural hegemony theory" is a branch of political sociology that concerns the way in which political sociology is transmitted. Democracy Upside Down weaves together, for the first time, the central arguments and the most important threads of empirical work on the theory of cultural hegemony in the U.S. Whereas most research on political socialization concludes that it is unclear exactly where the most cogent influences on political learning lie, this volume focuses upon the "top-down" process of political learning: the extent to which elites can impose their ideology on masses by domination of various sources of political ideas. In addition, liberalism-or the ideology of elites according to hegemony theory-and the socializing agents through which it can be imposed is discussed.

Workers Comp Injury? You need to have this book!.......2004-08-29
Excellent resource for all parties.......2004-02-12
This book is easy to read and understand. I am a nurse case manager for workers comp injuries and found this book extremely helpful. I encourage all my clients to obtain this book even if they have a lawyer. It gives them a solid knowledge base when the docs, attorneys and insurance people are throwing terms around.
It is well organized and follows a normal sequence of events. It was written by an attorney who handles workers comp cases.
I highly recommend this book.
Best info. to help you "right the wrong" of W/C claims.......1999-03-14
KEEP FIGHTING AND BELIEVING THAT 'JUSTIFICATION FOR EMPLOYEER'S WRONG DOING CAN BE ACHIEVED.
READ THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!!!
Excellent overview of the basic rights of an injured worker........1998-07-08
There is more emphasis in this book on answers and "by the number" processes than legal precedent or analysis, which I find easier to follow for the lay person. Chris Ball also has a number of forms included with simple completion directions.
If someone is looking for an overview with more legal justification or reference to statutes, the California Workers' Compensation Handbook is an excellent choice. This book by Stanford Herlick is updated every year, and has shorter sections with less hand-holding.
I think that the Herlick paperback is the reference source of choice for the attorney or paralegal to carry in the car or briefcase for quick review of issues and solutions.
