Hot issue, Even hand
Stephen Bates must have invested three or four lives of time interviewing the original participants and digging up the actual letters and documents of this highly complex series of interconnected events. No, it is not out of date. The flaming issues of that date are merely the warning flickering of huge blasts of fire still to come. Scopes I was had nothing on this. Brilliant, thoughtful, readable, and provocative
A brilliant look at some of the more intractable intersections between the legal and the moral, here in the context of schools and the education of our kids.Bates wrestles with the issues, to be sure, but withoutpreaching -- he leaves it to us, the parents, to draw our own lessons. Read this if you care about your child. ... Read more

Helps you understand how to win
Gregory's book is very helpful in understanding what factors can win an age discrimination action.His clear and concise case studies are used to illustrate the main legal points and how the courts have changed over recent years in their requirements for success.It has in several ways become more difficult to win age discrimination cases and Gregory explains how and why very clearly. An excellent resource to help you decide....
if you wish to become a plaintiff, and as a source of information, wisdom and comfort, if you do take action against your employer. The explanations are worth a thousand bucks.
There is very little written on the subject of age discrimination in employment that ventures to explain the whole process for the Plaintiff.This author is very credible to me both in providing behavior insights and process descriptions.It raises my confidence that older workers can gain a good understanding of the steps they need to take when they face the problem of age bias in employment. ...

Excellent Resource
I think the book really pinpointed all the pertinent information that a new nurse consultant needs in order to begin. Although the text does cover how to begin your business; I do suggest that you buy a recommended book on how to market yourself in order to be successful in practice.

An LNC "must-have"
I loved this book.It has everything in it you will need to understand this complex and exciting field of Nursing.If you are considering a career change into Legal Nurse Consulting, this is a wise investment to get a feel and overview of the field before you invest in any other educational material.A "must have" resource book for practicing LNC's.

This is an excellent book for beginning LNC
If you are thinking about becoming a LNC, this is an excellent book to purchase.It was the text book that I used in class. It's professional, easy to read and comprehend. It covers different types of laws, contracts,areas of practice, litigation,expert witness,etc. ... Read more

one of the best books ever written
This is certainly the best book ever written -- the best book that ever will be written -- about race, law and American society. It is a remarkably insightful history and one of the most stunning existing examples of narrative journalism. It is a masterpiece.

Moving and Informative
I'm a fan of nonfiction works and this easily moved to my top 5 favorite books. When I was growing up there were no courses on the contributions blacks made to America.There was no black history month.And I was cheated.I'm a 50+ white woman who lived through desegregation and had no clue that it was a struggle.I honestly don't remember a time when my elementary classes were all white but they must have been.I do remember clearly when my elementary class stopped being all white.That was when Richard Harris became my Batman buddy.On the aftenoons following the show we would go to the neighborhood soda shop and have a coke and discuss all the action of the previous evening's show and check for new Batman bubble gum cards with the intensity that only 5th graders can bring to such an important endeavor.It felt normal to chat Batman with Richard; and I'm so sorry for all the children that had such a dumb practice as segregation rob them of those moments.
Compelling and original arguments and a fresh analysis of America's black & white race relations
I just finished this book, A Simple Justice, and it is fantastic.It's the story of Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, which is the landmark Supreme Court case that desegregated compulsory public schools in America.But it's so much more than that.After reading this book, I felt almost ashamed of my previous ignorance to the struggles and condition of black america at the hands of almost everyone else in the country.It is comprehensive in its scope and perspicacious in its analysis, sparing no feelings on either (or rather, any) side.I believe myself to be, for the most part, a judicious man when it comes to philosophical or sociological observations, but Kluger was able to open my eyes to angles I had previously missed on issues I thought I had resolved long ago.So if you're not too scared of big books, this one's worth the time. ...

Overpriced, underwritten
In short, do not spend $100 for this book.It is a basic approach to negotiating the most significant provisions of a telecom agreement.It tells only 1/2 the story when both sides and the thought process are needed to effectively negotiate these important provisions.
A layman's book for an esoteric telecom subject
I'm no lawyer but this is a solid book that provides excellent guidance.Telecom in general is pretty complicated but i've learned that the contracts make the technology piece look like cake sometimes.

Informative and Easy to Understand
If you want information about OSHA standards as it relates to health care, this is the book for you.It is easy to understand, covers all of the basics and even has chapter tests, (good for employee training).I have used this book to aid in writing a policies & procedures manual for my office.There are contacts at the back of the book for further information from a variety of sources.It covers fire, bloodborne pathogens, hazardous materials, respirators, TB, ergonomics, hazardous waste, radiation, infection control, confined spaces, medical records... It is an invaluable medical practice tool. ... Read more

If you have an ERISA problem and don't know where to start..
Ok.I already feel odd writing a review of this book.The anticipated audience is incredibly narrow and if you found this review, you probably know what you are looking for.However, I think this is one of the greatest books.As a law student who is planning on specializing in ERISA, this book has been an invaluable resource to me.It is the first place I turn when I have an ERISA question to research.It won't provide all the answers but puts a very complex statute into perspective.It would also benefit the non-lawyer who might be involved in benefits. ...
