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 âFive Minutesâ books, the essays are written in lively
and accessible prose and are brief enough to be read in five
minutes.
This book explains and develops the Dirac equation in the context
of general relativistic quantum mechanics in a range of spacetime
dimensions. It clarifies the subject by carefully pointing out the
various conventions used and explaining how they are related to
each other. The prerequisites are familiarity with general
relativity and an exposure to the Dirac equation at the level of
special relativistic quantum mechanics, but a review of this latter
topic is given in the first chapter as a reference and framework
for the physical interpretations that follow. Worked examples and
exercises with solutions are provided. Appendices include reviews
of topics used in the body of the text. This book should benefit
researchers and graduate students in general relativity and in
condensed matter.
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.

This is a new release of the original 1951 edition.
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.
