New Attorney
I used this book in law school and continue to use it in my employment law practice.It is an essential for any employment lawyer's library!

A Law Student's Dream
As a current student of Professor White's I may be a bit biased. Regardless of that, however, this book truly is excellent for the law student looking to grasp the employment and employment discrimination law fields, the practitioner looking to update his knowledge, or the layperson seeking to gain an understanding of two extremely important topics.There are tons of examples in every chapter to help you apply the concepts she teaches you as you read the book.It is very clearly written, and it simplifies and clarifies even the hardest of concepts.

One of the best overviews of labor and employment law!
Rebecca Hanner White provides a clear and concise overview of labor and employment law terms and concepts, ranging from traditional employment law principles to those developed under modern, federal statutory employmentdiscrimination law.This handbook is appropriate and valuable foreverybody - from legal practitioners to college and law students toindividuals wishing to understand more about the legal framework foremployment in the United States.Everybody should read and review it forboth general understanding and as a starting point for more focused study. This book is a jewel of a find! ... Read more

Great collection
This is an excellent collection on affirmative action.Rather than merely rehash old debates, the editors have assembled a collection that sheds important light upon the ways in which affirmative action has beenunderstood and represented throughout the mass media and popular culture. The contributors agree that the kinds of reactions that are prompted byaffirmative action need to be understood within a broader context ofcontemporary racial relations in the United States, and with theunderstanding that representations of racial matters have always beenhighly charged, contested, and problematic in the mass media. ...

A great compilation of law cases and how the ADA applies.
This book was required for my law class on disabilities at the University of Pittsburgh. I took this class even though I have an MS in Neuroscience and I am finishing my doctorate in Science Education. I not only got thebook for class, but I plan on keeping it and its casebook for futurereference. Bonnie Tucker knows of what she speaks, since like me she is/wasdeaf. Like her I know how hard it is to make your way through the regularschool systems, and exactly why we need the Americans with DisabilitiesAct. She and Ms. Colker do a good job of putting this law book together. Inotice in the University bookstore...they don't often get this book backand have to buy more (I work there while getting my PhD). We didn't get thetime to do the whole book in class and actually Disability Law should takemore than one semester, especially if lawyers are planning on entering thisspeciality. But I also think this book needs to be read by educators, byemployers, and by people like Clint Eastwood who apparently doesn't thinkthat this particular law should apply to him. Thanks for making a greatclass more interesting with a great and concise law book. Karen L. SadlerScience Education, University of Pittsburgh, klsst23@pitt.edu ... Read more

A change is long overdue.
This is a book about human beings, and what behaviouir they will justify - and will try to get away with - if they are allowed. a law of her own
Written in a straightforward, non legalistic style, this book is a very thorough and thoughtful analysis of why the "Reasonable Woman" standard should be applied to both male and female defendants and victims,in situations involving sex, sexism, and aggression.Read more
