"Blackstone's great work on the laws of England is the extreme example of justification of an existing state of affairs by virtue of its history. Until the Commentaries, the ordinary Englishman had viewed the law as a vast, unintelligible and unfriendly machine. Blackstone's great achievement was to popularize the law and the traditions which had influenced its formation. He takes a delight in describing and defending as the essence of the constitution the often anomalous complexities which had grown into the laws of England over the centuries. But he achieves the astonishing feat of communicating this delight, and this is due to a style which is itself always lucid and graceful.". 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

In this straightforward financial-planning guide, the author predicts an economic boom in the early 21st century with dramatically different lifestyle opportunities. He suggests ways to tailor investments and career choices to benefit from this forecasted transformation. One of the world's most prescient economic forecasters unveils his predictions for the beginning of 21st century - and shows readers how we can take advantage of the unprecedented opportunities that will accompany the great financial boom to come. Dent's previous book The Great Boom Ahead (Hyperion, 1993) accurately predicted the stock market boom of the 1990s. In this one, he looks ahead to the new millennium and claims that the Dow may reach as high as 35, 000 within the next decade, due in large part to the changing demographics of baby boom investors. - Dirda . 1st Edition.

Among the defendants appearing in Unconscious Crime are a sleepwalking, homicidal nursemaid; a "morally vacant" juvenile poisoner; a man driven to arson by a "lesion of the will"; and a Jekyll-and-Hyde assailant who underwent his transformation into beast-man while on the stand. These people are not characters from a mystery novelist's vivid imagination, but rather defendants who were tried at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court, in the mid-nineteenth century. In Unconscious Crime, Joel Peter Eigen explores these and other cases in which defendants did not conform to any of the Victorian legal system's existing definitions of insanity, yet displayed convincing evidence of mental aberration. Instead, they were - or claimed to be - "missing," "absent," or "unconscious": lucid, though unaware of their actions. Based on extensive research in the Old Bailey Sessions Papers (verbatim courtroom narratives taken down in shorthand during the trial and sold on the street the following day), Eigen's book reveals a growing estrangement between law and medicine over the legal concept of the Person as a rational and purposeful actor with a clear understanding of consequences. The McNaughtan Rules of 1843 had formalized the Victorian insanity plea, guiding the courts in cases of alleged delusion and derangement. But as Eigen makes clear in the cases he discovered, even though defense attorneys attempted to broaden the definition of insanity to include mental absence, the courts and physicians who testified as experts were wary of these novel challenges to the idea of human agency and responsibility. Combining the colorful intrigue of courtroom drama and the keen insights of social history, Unconscious Crime depicts Victorian England's legal and medical cultures confronting a new understanding of human behavior, and provocatively suggests these trials represent the earliest incarnation of double consciousness and multiple personality disorder..

Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919) was a Polish-born German Marxist theorist, socialist philosopher, and revolutionary for the Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, the German SPD, the Independent Social Democratic Party and the Communist Party of Germany. In 1914, after the SPD supported German participation in World War I, she co-founded, with Karl Liebknecht, the revolutionary Spartakusbund (Spartacist League), that on 1 January 1919 became the Communist Party of Germany. In November 1918, during the German Revolution she founded the The Red Flag, the central organ of the left wing revolutionaries. She regarded the Spartacist uprising of January 1919 in Berlin as a mistake, but supported it after it had begun. When the revolt was crushed by the Freikorps (monarchist army remnants and proto-fascist right-wing freelance militias), Luxemburg, Liebknecht and hundreds of left-wing revolutionaries were captured, tortured, and killed. Since their deaths, Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht achieved great symbolic status amongst democratic socialists and Marxists.. Soft Cover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

The memoirs of the world famous and influential economist, ambassador, professor, and politician. In the urgent years of the Great Depression, Professor Galbraith concerned himself with agriculture in Canada and with agriculture and economics at Berkeley. After a year of teaching at the University of California, he served briefly in FDR's administration and then went on to Harvard. He spent the late thirties in Cambridge, England, where his life centered on the new economics of John Maynard Keynes. In the war years, he held what was arguably the most powerful civilian post in war administration; he organized and administered the system of wartime price control. At the end of the war, Galbraith served as a director of the survey that interrogated the highest-ranking Nazis and assessed the effects of the air war on the German economy. Thereafter he worked for the State Department as administrator of economic affairs in the occupied countries and served as an editor of "Fortune" when that magazine was enlisting the talent of some of the greatest writers of the day. In 1948 Prof. Galbraith returned to Harvard to write three of the most widely read books on economics and the postwar years - The Affluent Society, The New Industrial State and Economics and the Public Purpose. In a lively and exuberant style, the author relates all this and then goes on to discuss his two political campaigns with Adlai Stevenson, whom he served as adviser and speechwriter; John F. Kennedy, for whom he campaigned across the country; his service as ambassador in India during several terse and exciting years; and his long crusade against the war in Vietnam. Many have been close to great events and great leaders. Few have combined that proximity with the ability to write effectively, amusingly, even brilliantly about those events and people, the great men and women, and those who were only interesting, entertaining or absurd. Galbraith combines an intimate knowledge these people and political and economic context in which they lived, with a unique writing ability, as all who read this book will discover. . 1st Edition.

NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE. Victor K. Kiam (1926-2001) was a famous American entrepreneur and the owner of the New England Patriots from 1989-1991.After attending such universities as Yale, the Sorbonne and Harvard Business School, Kiam became part of the Lever Brothers and Playtex company as a salesperson. He first made his fortune as the President and CEO of Remington Products Company, which he famously purchased after his wife bought him his first electric shaver. Kiam also operated two other companies: Ronson and TravelSmart. He became even more famous as the spokesperson for his Remington shaver. Kiam's famous catch-phrase, "I liked it so much, I bought the company!" made him a household name; the phrase "Doing a Victor Kiam" has now become a term for a customer who becomes the owner of a company. He famously recorded each advert in the native language that the advert was broadcast. Upon Kiam's death The Times quoted one of his closest business associates in later years, Jonathon Lyons, as saying that he was "a truly remarkable entrepreneur of the old kind - the kind they simply don't make any more. "Kiam wrote a number of business books: * Going for It! : How to Succeed As an Entrepreneur * Keep Going for It! * Live to Win: Achieving Success in Life and Business"A wonderful guide to living life to the fullest"--Dr. Robert H.

Young Henry Burton is half flattered, half shanghaied, by the governor of a small Southern state to join him as campaign staff, in a run for the presidency. What follows for Henry, and the reader, is an education in modern American electoral politics that in dramatic power, humor, psychological acuity, and insider knowledge beggars a hundred textbooks and a thousand lectures. This is the pseudonymous, anonymous novel closely based on Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign. The question of the identity of the book's author became the talk of Washington and the media as soon as the book was published and debate continued until a reporter from the Washington Post was able to identify Klein by the handwriting in the marginal notes on a set of galleys. The subsequent scandal became a debate about ethics in journalism. Klein was a columnist for Newsweek at the time of publication and had denied writing the book, as had his superiors at Newsweek. Klein was forced to leave Newsweek and took a position at The New Yorker. The first edition was immediately sold out, and the book has been reprinted at least eight times, and became a huge bestseller. The novel was the basis for the feature film of the same name staring John Travolta and Emma Thompson. An excellent copy of a highly readable and amusing novel. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

This volume presents selections of what must have been a monumental record of half a century of American history, and of the complex, enigmatic character of its author; but the pieces are colorful, deeply intriguing, and readable in themselves. The material gathered from Frankfurter's own diaries is joined to an extraordinarily revealing biokgraphical essay by Joseph Lash. This brings a special feeling, a special understanding, of the diarist in his life as a scholar, a statesman, a friend, sometimes an enemy, and an ambitious human being. Ranging from Frankfurter's pre-World War I days as a Harvard law student through 'discovery' by immortals such as Henry L. Stimson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Chaim Weizmann, to his days as a jurist of international prominence, Lash has turned his faithful research into a living portrait of one of the most unusual men in our nation's history..

At a time when the office of President of the United States is acquiring a new significance, both national and international, this refreshingly objective interpretation by a noted student of politics meets an urgent need. The President of the United States has a unique role. His powers and functions are subject to peculiar limitations that have their roots in the Constitution and in the historical traditions of a people who came to political life through rebellion against outworn conventions. With brilliant and sympathetic penetration Prof. Laski defines those qualities which make for success in the presidency; points to the various forces which hedge and delimit the presidential influence; shows the interaction between the presidential, legislative and cabinet offices; discusses the President's relations with his Cabinet, and with Congress and the Supreme Court. He searches out the strengths and weaknesses of the American system; and in conclusion offers suggestions for reform. This book is informal, alive, stimulating and to anyone concerned with American ways of life it will evoke a great deal of the fascination of our history. Professor Harold J. Laski of the London School of Economics and Political Science at the University of London was a Visiting Professor at Indiana University during 1939. This volume is, substantially, the course he delivered during that year. It is a fascinating study of the American presidency. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

In The Last Brother, Joe McGinnis brings to startling and disturbing life the childhood, the brief triumph, and the long downward slide of the last Kennedy brother, and exposes, as never before, the chilling reality behind the glittering façade of America's First Dysfunctional Family, as well as the terrible cost of Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy's dark ambitions for his children, even the last and least of them. His book focuses in particular on the extraordinary sixties, a decade that began in glory for the family with Jack's ascension to the presidency, and ended, after the murders of Jack and Bobby, the tragedy at Chappaquidick, and their father's death, with Teddy, the last brother, standing alone in the rubble of Camelot. While The Last Brother is both shocking and newsworthy, Teddy Kennedy emerges as a curiously tragic figure, the victim of his own family, forever "the fat, awkward little boy" who was ignored by his siblings, his father and his mother, then propelled, unwilling and unprepared, into the public limelight. Searing, yet strangely moving and even sympathetic, The Last Brother presents a detailed, tragic portrait of a man at war with himself, doomed to live in the giant shadow of his brothers, trapped in the glorious but hollow Kennedy myth, longing, but unable, to escape. Ted Kennedy gave the greatest speech of his life at the 1980 Democratic Party convention. For those true believers, who heard that speech, all was forgiven. The rest of the public has not been so forgiving. . 1st Edition. Hard Cover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

NEAR FINE. Ben Mezrich (born 1969) is an American author from Boston, Massachusetts, who started out writing fiction but later expanded into non-fiction. He graduated magna-cum-laude from Harvard in 1991. He has since published ten books which have together sold over three million copies in twenty different languages. Some of his books have been written under the pseudonym Holden Scott. Mezrich attended Princeton Day School, in Princeton, New Jersey. Mezrich is best known for his first non-fiction work, Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions. This book tells the story of a group of students from MIT who bet on blackjack games using a sophisticated card counting system, earning millions of dollars at casinos in Las Vegas and other gambling centers in the United States and the Caribbean. The story was made into the movie 21, released in 2008. After the book's publication, Mezrich was frequently interviewed, asked to speak in a number of forums, and was published in the Boston Globe. The Globe later debunked much of the reporting in Bringing Down the House, claiming that the book describes numerous events that never took place, and "is not a work of nonfiction in any meaningful sense of the word." In 2004, Mezrich published a new book called Ugly Americans: The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions. Also a nonfiction work, this book recounts the exploits of an American named John Malcolm, who was an assistant securities trader. In 2005 Mezrich published Busting Vegas: The MIT Whiz Kid Who Brought the Casinos to Their Knees a semi-sequel to Bringing Down the House. The book tells the story of another student involved in a similar Blackjack team, but one that used more advanced techniques than the ones discussed in the first book. In 2007, Mezrich published Rigged which recounts the formation of the Dubai Mercantile Exchange by two young visionaries, one in the New York Mercantile Exchange and the other in the Dubai Ministry of Finance. In 2008, Boston magazine and The Boston Globe investigated the accuracy of Mezrich's non-fiction, identifying occasions in his blackjack books where scenes were invented out of whole cloth. .
