Prisoners' Self-Help Litigation Manual, in its much-anticipated
fourth edition, is an indispensable guide for prisoners and
prisoner advocates seeking to understand the rights guaranteed to
prisoners by law and how to protect those rights. Clear,
comprehensive, practical advice provides prisoners with everything
they need to know on conditions of confinement, civil liberties in
prison, procedural due process, the legal system, how to litigate,
conducting effective legal research, and writing legal
documents.
Over the past decade, prison law and conditions have changed
significantly. This new edition is updated to include the most
relevant prisoners' rights topics and approaches to litigation.
Updates include all aspects of prison life as well as material on
legal research, legal writing, types of legal remedies, and how to
effectively use those remedies.
This book succeeds the highly successful third edition of
Prisoners' Self-Help Litigation Manual. Written by two legal and
penitentiary experts with intimate knowledge of prisoner's rights
and legal aid work, authors John Boston and Daniel E. Manville
strategically focus on federal constitutional law, providing
prisoners and those wishing to assist them with the most important
information concerning legal rights.
To litigate effectively, several features of the book are designed
to make finding information easy. A detailed Table of Contents and
Index make for effortless access to specific information within the
chapters, which are conveniently divided into smaller sections and
subsections. Each page contains Footnotes with authoritative case
citations, statutory references, and other necessary information.
Additionally, the manual provides a Table of Cases, Forms, Sources
of Assistance and other books and publications to further aid
research.
Certainly the most authoritative, well-organized and relevant
prisoner's rights manual available - - the eagerly awaited fourth
edition should be purchased by everyone interested in civil rights
for the incarcerated.
In the mid-1960s, British science fiction and fantasy were
convulsed by the "New Wave." This movement emerged from the SF
magazines edited by John Carnell. Such brilliant NEW WORLDS and
SCIENCE FANTASY writers as J. G. Ballard, Brian W. Aldiss, John
Brunner, and Michael Moorcock heralded the rise of this new kind of
fantastic fiction. John Boston and Damien Broderick's concluding
volume of their critical trilogy examines the history and
development of these important magazines--and the fiction that they
championed. By the end of this period (1964), Carnell had set the
stage for that major development in UK science fiction--the new
wave adventures of the transformed NEW WORLDS, under the editorship
of Moorcock--and had himself shifted gear into the next mode of SF
publishing as editor of the paperback anthology series, New
Writings in SF. Boston and Broderick's series will become the
definitive critical histories of these important British magazines.
Complete with indices of names and titles cited.
Building New Worlds is a history of a pivotal decades-long episode
in the birth and growth of today's science fiction. Enthralling and
amusing, it's written with affection and wit. This is no dry,
modishly theorized academic analysis. Nor is it a rah-rah
celebration of the "Good Old Days." Here is a candid and astute
reader's response to a magazine that, by today's standards, was
often comically bad--but was also immensely important in its time,
and improved, like the Little Engine (or maybe Starship) That
Could. New Worlds is best remembered today as the fountainhead of
the New Wave of audacious experimental SF in the second half of the
1960s, under editor Michael Moorcock. But these first pioneering
issues, from 1946-59, were edited by the magazine's founder, John
"Ted" Carnell (1912-72). Carnell was a pillar of the old-style UK
SF establishment, but gamely supportive of innovators--most
famously, of the brilliant J. G. Ballard, Brian W. Aldiss, and John
Brunner, whose early work he nurtured. The story of how New Worlds
got started, survived, and got better is essential to the history
of the genres of the fantastic in the UK--and indeed, the world.
And huge fun to read. Watch for the companion volumes, New Worlds:
Before the New Wave, and Strange Highways, dealing with New World's
companion magazine, Science Fantasy.
