Great Quality
The book arrived ina timely fashion and I would definitely buy my textbooks through Amazon again

Almost Painless Public School Law
This Sixth Edition of American Public School Law is a comprehensive treatment of noteworthy public school case law that also serves to outline the history of our country. It's user friendly, while not lowering the bar for comprehension. Legal lingo is left intact, but translations are offered for those of us who are reading it for School Law classes, as opposed to Law School classes. There's a useful glossary, and a handy index for locating specific topics, and the cases that illustrate them. This is a book you'll want to keep.

Public School Court Cases
I ordered the book for my graduate class. It contains landmark court cases and rulings dealing with public school issues in all U.S. states. It is a great source for public school administrators and basically an easy read for those who have never had a law class.

Barry Fergus Jones, CISM CISSP
This is the best single reference that I've seen on the subject.Kevin and Rebecca have assembled a guide that is eminently practical, superbly organized, and tremendously helpful.I reach for it every time I have a question on HIPPA.In fact, it's the only HIPPA reference I've used since I got it.

Excellent resource everyone involved in HIPAA should have
Rebecca and Kevin have created an excellent resource for HIPAA Security Practictioners. They provide practical guidance for interpreting the HIPAA security rule, in terms that the non-security professional can understand. Especially of value are the ideas on how to "implement" the security rule, broken down by the relevant HIPAA security standard. I agree with the practical approach that they take within the book, as it is consistent with the HIPAA message that I have also been communicating over the past several years. There are also useful lists of items needed to maintain security compliance after implementation. This is a good book for the novice and experienced privacy/security professional. It is nice to see that someone has compiled this much useful information into one book. Nice job ! This is a must have book if you are a Security of Privacy Officer.

A must have for all Information Security Professionals!
As the title states, the book provides a very practical guide to HIPAA Privacy and Security.I used this book as a key reference to understanding the HIPAA privacy and security rule and in building a comprehensive roadmap (project plan) for compliance -- nicely done!Read more

Decent
I thought this was a decent, easy-to-read book with great graphs to highlight the points made. My only suggestion is that some of the Hypothetical answers seemed choppy and I didn't grasp a full understanding of how some conclusion were reached (ex. the Independent running for president who couldn't get a certain length of time on t.v.) ...

A good book.... but not a international law bible
Ian brownlies'principles is a good survey of international law, but don't expect a full overview of international law. It lacks some deep exploration some parts, but well it is a principle book.
The most authoritative, yet quite challenging for biginners
No doubt that this book is one of the most authoritative and orthodox textbooks in this field. With prolific cases and legal reasoning, this book offers a clear and profound understanding on "principles of international law," especially its Sources, Jurisdictions, and subjects, and basic theories thereof. A must have for those majoring in international law, I should say. but Brownlie says...
As mentioned by other reviewers, to even consider undertaking Jessup mootcourt competition, or any other major project in international law withoutfirst turning to Brownlie is to miss one of the most comprehensive texts onpublic international law. There are those of us who have comprehensivelysilenced arguments on a point of law with the phrase ' but Brownliesays...'. No international law collection is complete without this text. ...

This is a great introduction to commercial paper!
I have to disagree with the last reviewer. This book was thorough, and handled commercial paper in a simply and easy to understand way. I didn't take commercial paper in law school, and was completely unfamiliar with the lay of the land. This book was an excellent starting point and covered all the basics necessary to do well on the bar exam. If you are like the last reviewer, and already have a solid enough grasp on the subject matter to be able to nitpick discrepancies between different versions of the UCC, then this might not be a good book for you. But if you are simply looking for a solid introduction to the subject, I highly recommend this book. Considering how lost I was in commercial paper, it was a godsend!

This Book Sucks
Don't bother buying this book if your professor teaches the 2004 version of the UCC.I spent hours trying to figure out why one of the chapters was so off base with regard to Accomodation Parties; then I realized the book was dealing with the pre-2002 version of the Code.Brook barely acknowledges the 2004 changes except to note that there are, in fact, changes.Gee, thanks. ...

The Doom of Public Under High-Pressure Business Rhetoric
Management is management everywhere, in public or private organization,but the principles you must be loyal to, the context you are faced with, and certainly means to be used depend on the setting, where you are in.So far, much was written about creating high-performance government organizations by making public organizations much more like business, that is, it was thought to apply business- oriented models to government organizations. This process gained the moment with the splendid study, reinventing government,of Osborne and Gaebler,. Following this book, lots ofbook took the turn to advance the reinventing voice and as time passed, incredible propositions were presented in order to transform public sector into a new structure similar to that of profit sector.
