Law as a Means to an End: Threat to the Rule of Law (Law in Context)
Brian Z. Tamanaha Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0521689678 |
Book Description
The contemporary U.S. legal culture is marked by ubiquitous battles among various groups attempting to seize control of the law and wield it against others in pursuit of their particular agenda. This battle takes place in administrative, legislative, and judicial arenas at both the state and federal levels. This book identifies the underlying source of these battles in the spread of the instrumental view of law - the idea that law is purely a means to an end - in a context of sharp disagreement over the social good. It traces the rise of the instrumental view of law in the course of the past two centuries, then demonstrates the pervasiveness of this view of law and its implications within the contemporary legal culture, and ends by showing the various ways in which seeing law in purely instrumental terms threatens to corrode the rule of law.Customer Reviews:

Regulating Procurement: Understanding the Ends and Means of Public Procurement Regulation
Peter Trepte Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0198267754 |
Book Description
Public procurement regulation is the body of law dealing with the way in which public authorities award contracts. Procurement by public bodies has implications for a number of areas of law, in particular trade and competition law and administrative law. Failure to comply with public procurement rules can lead to public bodies being sued by unsuccessful contractors (or their governments), under national, EC or WTO law. The object of this study is to show why procurement is regulated at all and to provide an understanding of the differences between national and regional systems and a guide to the emerging international system. This book will provide an essential international and comparative perspective on the foundations of procurement for academics, practitioners and policy makers.

Conservative Environmentalism: Reassessing the Means, Redefining the Ends
James R. Dunn , and John E. Kinney Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0899309933 |
Book Description
If America's environmental laws and regulations are left unchanged, they will ultimately contribute to the destruction of the human and natural environments. Dunn and Kinney argue that the environmental movement as it now operates is counterproductive; solutions can be found only through rational, non-political efforts based on reality, not ideological propaganda. The authors show what the facts are and how they have been distorted to benefit what are often misguided, self-serving political agendas. For anyone uncertain of the facts and baffled by conflicting viewpoints, Conservative Environmentalism will come as fresh air, bringing hope and encouragement that solutions are possible. The greatest environmental gains in human history have occurred in democratic First World nations over the past century--nations that have not only expanded their natural resources but also improved the human condition. The environmental "Left" has largely ignored these gains, stressing imperfections and promoting fear through unfounded, unproven theories or deceptions. specious evidence. To solve the problems they see, the Left uses regulations that severely impede technology and efficient productivity--the very things that improve environmental conditions. Rather than supporting the regulation of industrial productivity, Dunn and Kinney argue for its expansion. The authors compare "downside" and "upside" effects of environmental actions in both First World and Third World countries and examine the negative effects that U.S. EPA and U.S. AID edits and proscriptions have on development and the environment.Customer Reviews:
Brilliant Book Which Provides Reason to the Ecology Debate.......1999-01-12
Conservative Enviromentalism properly offers solutions at the local level and believes that much of the problems found today should be cured in our neighborhoods and municipalities.
The real kicker about this book though, is their concept of the "Ledger," which use the basic double-entry accounting method to help quantify the costs and gains of environmental regulation.
This book is a truly remarkable work, which will have lasting impact in the ecological debate.

Complexity from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales: Coherence and Large Deviations (NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402006330 |
Book Description
Many mesoscopic systems display `adaptive' behaviour - changes in some physical property that results from a small change in an internal or external driving force. There is a kind of progression in adaptive phenomena, from quantum mesoscopics to complex, evolved cooperative systems and large scale events like turbulence. The field of mesoscopic magnetism, especially quantum coherence and quantum tunnelling in spin systems, and the coupling between mesoscopic magnetism and mesoscopic transport is currently a very active area of solid state physics. `Dephasing' is an important concept in mesoscopic systems like these. A basic question is the limit at which quantum mechanics breaks down and what it can be replaced with. Another interesting crossover is that between complexity and large excursions or events, with turbulence as a prototype example. The book also contains a discussion of finance. Qualitatively speaking, turbulence and financial markets are apparently similar, so our understanding of turbulence may be relevant to understanding price fluctuations.

Loose Cannons of Buckland County
J.D. Elder Manufacturer: PublishAmerica ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1413741959 |
Book Description
Welcome to Buckland County, Ohio. Midwestern small town Americana. A place where everyone knows everyone. A place where they also take their politics seriously- sometimes a little too seriously. As the 2004 election arrives, a young waitress named Charlene Ann Cantrell struggles to hold her family together and scrape up enough money to go to college. Her faith and unconditional devotion to her father DeWayne- host of the countys political television show Loose Cannons- is put to the test as he struggles to overcome an emotionally crippling divorce from her mother and tries to find peace and personal redemption. One part a story about family, one part political satire, and one part a low rent Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Loose Cannons of Buckland County follows the countys memorably unpredictable 2004 election from the beginning at the Buckland County Candidates Night all the way through to the November election.Customer Reviews:
