Well argued discourse on tort law.
I found this book a little beyond my layman's understanding of the law and the process of the legal system in cases of tort law, but it was still incredibly informative.The points are laid out in an organized way, building a case for the writers' thesis that, despite some public notions to the contrary, plaintiffs are not receiving monetary settlements or judgments out of line with the wrongs done them by defendants.On a subject complicated by so many variables, the writers don't make attempts to sum ideas up in sound bytes or manufacture easy answers.It is thoughtful and provocative and certainly worth reading for anyone with a desire to learn more about this area of law. ...

A voice of truth in a complex issue
As Ms Stewart points out in her introduction, the studies that claim to prove that there is no relationship between breast implants and atypical autoimmune diseases prove NO SUCH THING..they were not designed to answer that question. Those often touted studies are actually flawed and biased which any researcher who understands statistical analysis will see. Ms Stewart's approach is not biased, but actually entirely upright and marked with a sense of integrity.She takes an extremely complex and overtly political issue and brings a sense of truth to it that needs to be heard.These many thousands of women are sick because toxic chemicals have been implanted and spilled into their bodies, and that is not a normal event in life.Political posturing has tainted the ugly truth in this issue because interested parties are not willing to lose their financial investment. I applaud Ms Stewart for her important work, which will probably be suppressed and discredited.That's just the way things work in this country, to the detriment of women everywhere.By the way, I had breast implants and I DID get sick from them, without a doubt whatsoever.Am I biased?No, just telling the truth as I experienced it.

Biased account that substitutes sympathy for thought
The book gives short shrift to the many studies (Harvard, Mayo Clinic, Holland), etc.)that show that women with implants do not suffer from the diseases in question at a rate any higher than those without them. Insteadshe talks with the women who have these conditions (lupus, auto-immune,etc.) and allows her sympathyfor them to cancel out the statistics.Although she cites some obscure newspaper articles on the issue, shenowhere citesthe NY Times' Gina Kolata because of the latter's extensiveunbiased reporting of the lack of evidence associating implants with theseconditions.

Life changing book read a little too late
After getting breast implants I was given this book. It changed my outlook on everything. I wish I could go back and get these things as small as they used to be. As well as bringing light to the subject of sillicone leakageit also aludes to the back pains associated with artificially large breastlike mine. ... Read more

Firearms Favor Equality
Stephen Halbrook does it again with a scholarly exegesis of the Fourteenth Amendment exposing anew the racist roots of gun control. Halbrook reveals the lies and lays bare the cynicism of those who claim the Constitutionpermits or even favors anti-gun laws. A must read for those who stillbelieve in liberty. The Fourteenth Amendment meant to enshrine and extendthe Second Amendment specifically, along with the rest of the Bill ofRights, to newly freed blacks and make them enforceable against stategovernments. ...

The rights of patiens.
When I bought this book I had no background in Law whatsoever. This book was excellent for me because it is very easy to understand and it provides the reader with examples so that on learns how to apply the concepts being taught. Keep in mind that this is a public health law book, but it provides one with the basic concepts and vocabulary one needs to understand it (make sure to read the preface and introduction first). ...
