The Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is
arguably the most historically important clause of the most
significant part of the US Constitution. Designed to be a central
guarantor of civil rights and civil liberties following
Reconstruction, this clause could have been at the center of most
of the country's constitutional controversies, not only during
Reconstruction, but in the modern period as well; yet for a variety
of historical reasons, including precedent-setting narrow
interpretations, the Privileges or Immunities Clause has been cast
aside by the Supreme Court. This book investigates the Clause in a
textualist-originalist manner, an approach increasingly popular
among both academics and judges, to examine the meanings actually
expressed by the text in its original context. Arguing for a
revival of the Privileges or Immunities Clause, author Christopher
Green lays the groundwork for assessing the originalist credentials
of such areas of law as school segregation, state action, sex
discrimination, incorporation of the Bill of Rights against states,
the relationship between tradition and policy analysis in assessing
fundamental rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment rights of
corporations and aliens. Thoroughly argued and historically
well-researched, this book demonstrates that the Privileges or
Immunities Clause protects liberty and equality, and it will be of
interest to legal academics, American legal historians, and anyone
interested in American constitutional history.
This book explores the work of those artists who attempted to keep
alive the expanded possibilities opened up by Cubism in Paris
between 1911 and 1914. This little community of artists refused to
accept that recording the war or producing propaganda was their
duty. Instead, they kept faith in their independence as individuals
as this war of machines threatened to rob every front-line soldier
of his humanity and to draw the globe into unprecedented conflict.
The vast majority of fit young Frenchmen were mobilized, so those
artists left behind in Paris were either foreign or too old or
unfit for combat. Pablo Picasso, then known as the inventor of
Cubism, remained a prominent figure, alongside his fellow Spaniards
Juan Gris and Maria Blanchard, the Mexican Diego Rivera, the
Italian Gino Severini, the Lithuanian sculptor Jacques Lipchitz and
the French painters Georges Braque, Henri Laurens, Fernand Leger
and Henri Matisse. One focus of this book is the sheer diversity of
the work produced by these artists; another is the move made by
most of them toward a more structured, architectural Cubism,
especially from 1917, which could be taken as reparation against
the destructive forces that seemed to have taken over the whole
world.

Essays on the development of the post-medieval house, its contents
and decoration. During the last forty years, South-West England has
been the focus of some of the most significant work on the early
modern house and household in Britain. Its remarkable wealth of
vernacular buildings has been the object of muchattention, while
the area has also seen productive excavations of early modern
household goods, shedding new light on domestic history. This
collection of papers, written by many of the leading specialists in
these fields, presents a number of essays summarizing the overall
understanding of particular themes and places, alongside case
studies which publish some of the most remarkable discoveries. They
include the extraordinary survival of wall-hangings in a South
Devon farm, the discovery of painted rooms in an Elizabethan town
house, and a study of a table-setting mirrored on its ceiling. Also
considered are forms of decoration which seem specific to
particular areas of the West Country houses. Taken together, the
papers offer a holistic view of the household in the early modern
period. John Allan is Consultant Archaeologist to the Dean &
Chapter of Exeter Cathedral; Nat Alcock is EmeritusReader in the
Department of Chemistry, University of Warwick; David Dawson is an
independent archaeologist and museum and heritage consultant.

When she switches her attentions to a classmate, Arthur's passion for Betsy turns, by degrees, into something far darker. Now Arthur must tell the truth about what happened to Betsy. But can Arthur's version of events be
trusted - or is the reality much more complex and unnerving?

My book is designed to reach individuals that struggle with his or
her sense of indentity. My life has always been a challenge and the
lessons I learned from it helped me find my true self. I was
misguided I thought the value of man was broken down into dollars
and cents. No dollar value can compare to a person who helps people
out of the kindness of their heart and not to be pompous. I use to
believe that obtaining a quality education didn't matter because so
many people where I'm from were criminals and they lived like rock
stars. Some of my family members and peers had the American dream
for moment but all that came to an end. I tried to follow in their
footsteps but a higher power had a greater purpose for me. I made
the transformation from living in darkness to light so I could do
my part in trying to remove the blindfold from the eyes of
Detroit's youths and the world if possible. My book is designed to
inspire and motivate the world to discover his or her positive self
and abandon negativity forever.
Proverbs of a troubled soul consists of fifty poems substantiated
by fifty scriptures from the Bible. Each poem derives from my most
personal experiences and deepest spiritual beliefs. Not every poem
from this book rhymes all the way through. Some of the poems do not
rhyme all the way through for the purpose of delivering my message
from each poem appropriately. This book explains what a spiritual
union between men and women is supposed to be in my opinion. This
book also explains in detail why I believe the Bible can help
someone live a moral life and fulfilling life as well. "Proverbs of
a Troubled Soul" is also dedicated to my late father "Curtis Lee
laster Jr." that passed away in November of 2013. Enjoy my book I
hope you are blessed by it.

"Mirror Lake" brilliantly explores life, death, love, and loss
against the backdrop of rural Vermont and the drama of its seasons.
Nathan Carter, a man in his twenties, moves from Boston to Eden,
Vermont, following the death of his father and the end of yet
another failed romance. When Carter's Jeep goes off the road in a
snowstorm, seventy-nine-year-old Wallace Fiske nurses him back to
health and the two become unlikely friends.
Wallace begins to tell Nathan his story, a love story he was
prepared to take to the grave with him. It is a tale of passion, of
obsession, and ultimately, of tragedy. Along the way, Nathan,
suspecting that Wallace is not telling him the whole truth, sets
out to discover for himself what happened here at the edge of this
small mountain lake fifty years before.
In the process, Nathan not only discovers Wallace's dark secret,
but also finds himself transformed by the experience, leading to an
unforgettable conclusion.
The novel unfolds between each man's present and past, and reveals
the loves and passions that have defined their lives.
"Mirror Lake" is a brilliant and suspenseful first novel about
love, marriage, friendship, and betrayal.
The lives of brothers Charlie and Owen Bender are changed
forever on the night their father walks into the Vermont woods with
a death wish and a shotgun. The second shock comes when his suicide
note bequeaths the family's restaurant to Charlie alone, while
leaving Owen with instructions to follow his own path, wherever it
may take him.
Years later, the restaurant is a success. The void in Charlie's
life, created by his beloved brother's absence, is finally filled
when a passionate affair becomes a deeply satisfying marriage. And
now prodigal son Owen is returning home, to be welcomed back into
the family fold. But the cruel legacy that tore a brotherhood apart
created wounds not easily healed . . . and there must be
reckoning.
