Understanding America's Gun Culture focuses on building
understanding of some of the issues associated with U.S. gun
culture and the contemporary debate about the availability and use
of guns. This edited volume is unique in that it draws on a wide
variety of disciplines and presents perspectives on both sides of
the debate. Contributors hail from the academic disciplines of
history, social work, criminal justice, sociology, religion, and
theological ethics as well as policy agencies. Some chapters
examine the issues social-psychologically to help readers better
understand dynamics within the debate. Others pose important
ethical and philosophical questions about gun culture. Still others
address practical policy solutions for enhancing gun safety and
minimizing gun violence, even bringing in international
perspectives. This second edition includes literature published in
the last two years and two new chapters, one focusing on gender
within gun culture and another that features a conversation between
the editors and an ethnographic researcher with broad expertise in
gun culture and research and policy trends. Together, the chapters
create a thought-provoking compilation that offers insightful
findings, considers theoretical and practical implications, and
invites further exploration of the topic.

Law, Liberty and Church examines the presuppositions that underlie
authority in the five largest Churches in England - the Church of
England, the Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, the
United Reformed Church and the Baptist Union. Examining what has
influenced their development, and how the patterns of authority
that exist today have evolved, Gordon Arthur explores the
contributions of Scripture, Roman Legal Theory, and Greek
Philosophy. This book shows how the influence of Roman legal theory
has caused inflexibility, and at times authoritarianism in the
Roman Catholic Church; it explores how the influence of reason and
moderation has led the Church of England to focus on inclusiveness,
often at the cost of clarity; it expounds the attempts of the Free
Churches to establish liberty of conscience, leading them at times
to a more democratic and individualistic approach. Finally Arthur
offers an alternative view of authority, and sets out some of the
challenges this view presents to the Churches.

The most significant overhaul of the U.S. patent laws in decades
occurred with the recent passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents
Act (AIA). Understanding the law that dictates what a patent is and
how a patent is obtained and enforced, and the recent changes
through statute or case law litigation presents unique challenges.
This third edition of Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and
Engineers examines the new Act and provides an overview of the
patent system for the independent inventor as well as for members
of the scientific and business community whether a scientist,
engineer, supervisor, or manager.In addition to a new chapter
dedicated to the America Invents Act, the third edition includes
annotations of the recent law changes, updates in all chapters, new
figures, and new case studies. The authors discuss patent filing
outside of the United States and also dedicate a chapter
specifically to the Canadian patent system. They describe the key
topics that anyone involved in the patent process needs to know,
including what makes an invention patentable, the art of patent
searching, and the crucial role of record keeping. The text also
includes an indispensable glossary of patent terminology, as well
as an appendix with sample U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
forms.This book provides a valuable guide to assist inventors in
dealing with the USPTO, as well as with patent professionals. The
text describes the patent process from conception to application
filing and is a must-have reference for scientists and
businesspeople alike. Since the role of patent professionals is to
obtain the maximum protection for inventors, both the inventor and
businessperson would be well advised to understand and participate
in all the steps involved. This book offers an excellent insight
into the patent process.
