  The Little Black Book -- A Do-It Yourself Guide for Law Student Competitions

  Martin Frey, Barbara Bucholtz, and Melissa Tatum

  The Little Black Book is designed to fill a gap in law school pedagogy: the skills needed for succeeding in law school competitions. Law schools perpetually struggle with the need to fit an ever-expanding universe of both doctrinal studies and skills development into a finite curriculum. Training in competition skills inevitable gets squeezed and edited down, and sometimes even left on the cutting room floor. Yet students can benefit enormously from these competitions, as they provide a way for students to practice and develop skills that will benefit themselves and their clients once they enter the workforce.

  Energy Policy: The REEL World: Cases and Materials on Resources, Energy and Environmental Law

  Marla Mansfield

  The title of this up-to-date casebook emphasizes that it surveys numerous fields. In addition to covering the two main subjects with which traditional energy law deals—the laws with which an energy producer must comply and the government regulation of energy producers—this book also covers the intertwining of environmental law and energy law. Mansfield first examines the basic legal framework of U.S. energy policy and law, considering constitutional issues such as federalism and the limits of regulatory authority; traditional economic regulation; various energy fuel cycles; and federal and state regulation of natural gas, electricity, and hydroelectric power.

  Essentials of Contract Law

  Martin Frey and Phyllis Hurley Frey

  Essentials of Contract Law presents the study of the law of contracts in an organized fashion via a "road map" for thinking about contracts problems. Through the road map concept, students learn about contract formation, determining the applicable law, unenforceable contracts and breach of contract. The text cuts through excess verbiage and outdated doctrine, ensuring that students gain a solid understanding of the material. The rules of law are developed through presentation of theory, followed by an example and a paralegal exercise. Each chapter develops the next step in the road map so the text is methodical and cohesive. Students are also taught how to analyze a contract problem using a common law and code. - See more at: http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=97887572975880385520805487661512825784&N=16+4294962413+4294955610&Ntk=P_EPI#sthash.qmVe2Vdw.dpuf

  Energy Law and Policy for the 21st Century, with the Energy Law Group

  Marla Mansfield

  Published by Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, Energy Law and Policy for the 21st Century was written by five professors who have practiced, taught, consulted, researched, and written in the field since energy law first took shape in the wake of the OPEC embargo and oil price increases of 1973. The book’s objective is to provide a concise examination of energy law for the attorney or policy maker who is new to the field, with an emphasis on information rather than opinion. The authors provide fundamentals of energy law rather than the latest regulations or court decisions which can be easily obtained from other sources.

  Ending the Explosion: Population Policies and Ethics for a Humane Future

  Bill Hollingsworth

  Anyone who cares about the future of humankind will appreciate Ending The Explosion. This book concentrates upon the world population crisis not because resolving that crisis is somehow humanity's only needed step toward a future of sustainable well-being. Instead, the book's focus is upon how indescribably cruel an enemy of children, women, and men (and of a culture's survival) massive overpopulation would be. It is to help us overcome the problem, and to help us face the population crisis and resolve it both adequately and humanly, that this book is dedicated.

  H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Kora and Ka

  Robert Spoo

  Written by H.D. in 1930 and only published in a 100-copy edition for friends in 1934, Kora and Ka marked a new level of intensity in the poet's experiments with prose fiction. The two long stories contained in this volume, "Kora and Ka" and "Mira-Mare," are at once profoundly autobiographical yet, through H.D.'s unusual brand of modernist story-telling, pushed beyond personality. The men and women who haunt these tales are wraiths in spiritual exile, wanderers in a Europe still recovering from the devastations of World War I. Her descriptions of the beaches at Monte Carlo are triumphs of vivid detail––bright watercolors set against brooding psychological portraits. In its exploration of the "broken dualities" of self and civilization, Kora and Ka looks forward to H. D.'s masterpieces, Tribute to Freud and Trilogy.

  Joyce and the Subject of History

  Robert Spoo, Mark Wollaeger, and Victor Luftig

  What did James Joyce think about history? He boasted that Dublin could be rebuilt from the pages of his novels, yet Joyce stopped writing essays and reviews at an age when many authors are just beginning to express themselves on important extra-literary topics--and the Joyce that emerges in biographies and memoirs is notoriously unreliable about history and politics. In Joyce and the Subject of History, some of the brightest stars in Joyce criticism tease out the historical implications embedded in Joyce's oeuvre without conceding too much to the comprehensive historical claims of the fictions themselves. At a time when much historical work remains surprisingly under-theorized and much theoretical work excludes the detail and rigor of serious historical research, this collection attempts to bridge the gap between history and theory, to reconceive the field of literary historical scholarship as a whole. As an added resource, the book concludes with Robert Spoo's extensive Annotated Bibliography of historical work on Joyce.

  James Joyce and the Language of History: Dedalus's Nightmare

  Robert Spoo

  History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. Stephen Dedalus's famous complaint articulates a characteristic modern attitude toward the perceived burden of the past. As Robert Spoo shows in this study, Joyce's creative achievement, from the time of his sojourn in Rome in 1906-07 to the completion of Ulysses in 1922, cannot be understood apart from the ferment of historical thought that dominated the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Tracing James Joyce's historiographic art to its formative contexts, Spoo reveals a modernist author passionately engaged with the problem of history, forging a new language that both dramatizes and redefines that problem.

  Asphodel H.D.

  Robert Spoo

  DESTROY, H.D. had pencilled across the title page of this autobiographical novel. Although the manuscript survived, it has remained unpublished since its completion in the 1920s. Regarded by many as one of the major poets of the modernist period, H.D. created in Asphodel a remarkable and readable experimental prose text, which in its manipulation of technique and voice can stand with the works of Joyce, Woolf, and Stein; in its frank exploration of lesbian desire, pregnancy and motherhood, artistic independence for women, and female experience during wartime, H.D.'s novel stands alone. A sequel to the author's HERmione, Asphodel takes the reader into the bohemian drawing rooms of pre-World War I London and Paris, a milieu populated by such thinly disguised versions of Ezra Pound, Richard Aldington, May Sinclair, Brigit Patmore, and Margaret Cravens; on the other side of what H.D. calls "the chasm," the novel documents the war's devastating effect on the men and women who considered themselves guardians of beauty. Against this riven backdrop, Asphodel plays out the story of Hermione Gart, a young American newly arrived in Europe and testing for the first time the limits of her sexual and artistic identities. Following Hermione through the frustrations of a literary world dominated by men, the failures of an attempted lesbian relationship and a marriage riddled with infidelity, the birth of an illegitimate child, and, finally, happiness with a female companion, Asphodel describes with moving lyricism and striking candor the emergence of a young and gifted woman from her self-exile. Editor Robert Spoo's introduction carefully places Asphodel in the context of H.D.'s life and work. In an appendix featuring capsule biographies of the real figures behind the novel's fictional characters, Spoo provides keys to this roman à clef.

  Ezra Pound and Margaret Cravens: A Tragic Friendship, 1910-1912

  Robert Spoo and Omar Pound

  Ezra Pound met Margaret Cravens in Paris in 1910 during one of his most creative and formative periods. Margaret Cravens, of Madison, Indiana, had come to Paris several years earlier to study piano and was drawn to the young Pound out of a shared interest in poetry and the arts. Their friendship began when she offered Pound generous financial support, which continued, unknown to anyone else, until June 1912, when she committed suicide in Paris, one year after her father's suicide in Indiana. Pound was deeply affected by her death, as was the poet H. D., who had recently come to know her. Pound's letters to Cravens, extensively annotated, are published here for the first time; her suicide note to him is also included. Ezra Pound and Margaret Cravens contains photographs and previously unpublished material by Pound and H.D., as well as an excerpt from H.D.'s autobiographical novel Asphodel, in which Cravens figures prominently. This portrait of a friendship provides insight into the literary achievements of Pound and H.D. and tells the unknown story of Margaret Cravens's tragic life.
