The U.S. Constitution was written more than 230 years ago for a new
country on the periphery of the world. Two centuries later, it
governs the most powerful nation on earth, and its meaning is
constantly debated. The U.S. Constitution in Five Minutes presents
fifty-nine essays on subjects central to the meaning and
application of the U.S. Constitution. Written by scholars, these
essays cover origins; institutions, processes, and structural
features; civil rights and liberties; and modes of interpretation
and address common questions and misunderstandings about the
Constitution, such as: • Can the president start a war? • Does
the Constitution protect hate speech? • Does the Second Amendment
give everyone the right to have a gun? • Does the Constitution
protect noncitizens? • How can we tell what the Constitution
means? Intended for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the
underlying principles of the U.S. political system, the book will
also be a valuable supplement to political science courses. As with
all the “Five Minutes†books, the essays are written in lively
and accessible prose and are brief enough to be read in five
minutes.
This is an innovative and collaborative life history of one of
Alaska's pioneering wildlife biologists. David R. Klein has been a
leader in promoting habitat studies across wildlife research in
Alaska, and this is his first-hand account of how science and
biological fieldwork has been carried out in Alaska in the last
sixty years. This book tells the stories of how Klein did his
science and the inspiration behind the research, while exposing the
thinking that underlies particular scientific theories. In
addition, this book shows the evolution of Alaska's wildlife
management regimes from territorial days to statehood to the era of
big oil. The first portion of the book is comprised of stories from
Klein's life collected during oral history interviews, while the
latter section contains essays written by Klein about philosophical
topics of importance to him, such as eco-philosophy, the definition
of wilderness, and the morality of hunting. Many of Klein's
graduate students have gone on to become successful wildlife
managers themselves, in Alaska and around the globe. Through The
Making of an Ecologist, Klein's outlook, philosophy, and approach
toward sustainability, wildlife management, and conservation can
now inspire even more readers to ensure the survival of our fragile
planet in an ever-changing global society.

Once largely ignored, judicial elections in the states have become
increasingly controversial over the past two decades. Legal
organizations, prominent law professors, and a retired Supreme
Court justice have advocated the elimination of elections as a
means to choose judges. One of their primary concerns is interest
group involvement in elections to state supreme courts, which they
see as having negative effects on both the courts themselves and
public perceptions of these judicial bodies. In The Battle for the
Court, Lawrence Baum, David Klein, and Matthew Streb present a
systematic investigation into the effects of interest group
involvement in the election of judges. Focusing on personal-injury
law, the issue that has played the most substantial role in
spurring interest group activity in judicial elections, the authors
detail how interest groups mobilize in response to unfavorable
rulings by state supreme courts, how their efforts influence the
outcomes of supreme court elections, and how those outcomes in turn
effectively reshape public policies. The authors employ several
decades’ worth of new data on campaign activity, voter behavior,
and judicial policy-making in one particularly colorful, important,
and representative state—Ohio—to explore these connections
among interest groups, elections, and judicial policy in a way that
has not been possible until now.
American Courts Explained takes students on a detailed tour of
American courts by following two real cases-one criminal, one
civil-from the events that gave rise to them, through pre-trial
proceedings, jury trials, and appeals. Along the way there are
stops in state and federal trial and appellate courts, as well as
the U.S. Supreme Court. It introduces readers to major debates
relating to the courts: How "political" are judges? How well do
different methods of selecting judges work? Do ordinary people have
adequate access to lawyers? Should we trust jurors to decide
complex and emotional cases? But it presents these debates in the
context of actual cases so that readers can see why these debates
matter to the parties, lawyers, judges, and jurors. The conviction
behind this approach is that students learn best when engaged by
vivid, interesting cases with details that make abstract debates
and difficult legal concepts meaningful and easier to understand.
By the end of this book, readers will find that the judicial
process has been demystified. They will have a firm understanding
of what litigants, lawyers and judges do, will understand the
structure and procedure of American civil and criminal courts, will
see the purposes served by judicial rules and procedures, and will
see what effect these rules, and procedures have on the outcomes of
cases. Readers will have acquired the knowledge needed to
critically evaluate the legal institutions we have and proposals
for changing them.
