The celebration of Washington D.C. basketball is long overdue. The
D.C. metro area stands second to none in its contributions to the
game. Countless figures who have had a significant impact on the
sport over the years have roots in the region, including E.B.
Henderson, the first African-American certified to teach public
school physical education, and Earl Lloyd, the first
African-American to take the court in an actual NBA game. The
city's Spingarn High School produced two players - Elgin Baylor and
Dave Bing - recognized among the NBA's 50 greatest at the League's
50th anniversary celebration. No other high school in the country
can make that claim.These figures and many others are chronicled in
this book, the first-ever comprehensive look at the great high
school players, teams and coaches in the D.C. metropolitan area.
Based on more than 150 interviews, The Capital of Basketball is
first and foremost a book about basketball. But in discussing the
trends and evolution of the game, McNamara also uncovers the
turmoil in the lives of the players and area residents as they
dealt with prejudice, educational inequities, politics, and the
ways the area has changed through the years.

This book is about supervision in the legal profession with a focus
on the experience of novice lawyers. It is the first of its kind.
Until now there have been a range of books dedicated to
professional supervision in many disciplines, but not law.
Supervision is an important link between formal university-based
legal education and independent practice and is relevant to a range
of contemporary legal practice issues including changes driven by
technology, workplace culture, regulating law firm management, and
well-being. This book aims to be scholarly and practical. It
provides an overview of how supervision is positioned in the legal
regulatory framework; it describes how supervision is conceived in
the legal profession and practice management literature; and draws
lessons from clinical legal education and other professional
disciplines. By reporting on survey data, this book also provides
insights into practitioners' attitudes and perceptions about
supervision in legal practice.

This volume examines the role of logic in cognitive psychology in
light of recent developments. Gonzalo Reyes's new semantic theory
has brought the fields of cognitive psychology and logic closer
together, and has shed light on how children master proper names
and count nouns, and thus acquire knowledge. The chapters highlight
the inadequacies of classical logic in its handling of ordinary
language and reveal the prospects of applying these new theories to
cognitive psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, the
philosophy of language and logic.
This important book presents seminal contributions to the emerging
synthesis of logic and cognitive psychology. Logicians, who
typically concern themselves with ideal reasoning processes, have
rarely crossed paths with cognitive psychologists and their more
empirical endeavors. With the introduction of a landmark semantic
theory by Gonzalo E. Reyes, however, the fields have somewhat
reconciled and together have been fruitful in shedding new light on
several issues--for example, on how children may master proper
names and count nouns, and thus acquire knowledge. Authored by an
outstanding collection of leading theorists and researchers across
disciplines, this book details the inadequacies of classical logic
in its handling of ordinary language and reveals the prospects for
applying a symbiosis of logic and psychology to cognitive
psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, the philosophy of
language, and logic itself. Both scholarly and engaging, The
Logical Foundations of Cognition will be of interest to
psychologists, philosophers, linguists, and computer scientists
alike.
The breakup of AT&T in 1984 and the events that have
occurred since provide an historical opportunity to evaluate
innovative behavior in an industry before and after restructuring.
The effects of government regulation and market structure on the
rate of industrial innovation are not well understood, and existing
studies of innovative behavior across industries yield vague and
conflicting conclusions. This book provides a detailed study of the
effects of market structure and government regulation on innovation
in a single industry over a long period of time. The benefits of a
stable industry with prices regulated in the interests of consumers
are compared with the benefits of a dynamic industry constantly
introducing new products.
The history of telecommunications in the United States is
summarized, paying particular attention to the effects of market
structure and government policy on innovation. Existing economic
studies of the telecommunications industry are reviewed, and the
arguments for and against the regulated monopoly structure are
evaluated. The philosophy and practice of telecommunications
regulation are described and the effects of alternative pricing
plans on the demand for services and on the creation of incentives
for innovation are studied. Current and emerging telecommunications
technologies are described in layman's terms in order to provide an
intuitive sense of the economic implications of technological
advances.
