Individual demands for equality and civil rights are central themes
in U.S. history and American Indian people are no exception. They
have had to deal with white racism and its expression in local and
national political institutions while trying to define the rights
of individual Indians vis-รก-vis their own tribal governments. The
struggle has made their civil rights movement unique. This
encyclopedia, designed to meet the curriculum needs of high school
and college students, provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date
coverage of American Indian civil rights issues. More than 600
entries cover a variety of perspectives, issues, individuals,
incidents, and court cases central to an understanding of the
history of civil rights among American Indian peoples. The issue is
a complicated one, expanding over a period of more than a century.
The history of American Indian civil rights can be traced not only
in the courts and the federal legislation, but on the battlefield
where a number of civil rights protests have been fought. This
encyclopedia clarifies the complicated history of individual
rights, water rights, land rights, and other issues in American
Indian civil rights. It is thoroughly cross-referenced for ease of
use in tracing any particular issue or incident. Each entry is
followed by a list of works for further reading on the topic. An
appendix of entries on landmark court cases is organized by issue.
A selection of photos complements the text. This work is a one-stop
source for up-to-date information on all aspects of American Indian
civil rights and is essential for high school, public, and
university libraries.
Walworth, in the London borough of Southwark, was mentioned in the
Domesday Book and, over the centuries, this former rural,
agricultural area has been engulfed by the expansion and urban
sprawl of the capital city. This part of London is constantly
changing, particularly at the start of a new decade. In Walworth
Reflections, local authors Darren Lock and Mark Baxter have brought
together a fascinating collection of old and new photographs that
have been individually merged to show the surprisingly rapid
changes in London SE17 through the decades. Readers can compare the
old Walworth with the fast-emerging new, which is a melting pot of
cultures and classes living cheek by jowl amid the regeneration of
an often undervalued part of London. Each of the 180 images
effectively contrasts the changes, and readers will see how
streets, buildings, businesses and aspects of everyday life have
altered within living memory. This superb visual chronicle of
Walworth past and present will appeal to residents and everyone
with connections to this area.
Risk and Negligence in Wills, Estates, and Trusts provides
essential guidance for all will draftsmen. It offers in-depth
analysis of negligence and wills, together with commentary on safe
practice and the avoidance of risk. Together the areas covered
provide a framework for the safe practice that is now essential in
this much disputed area of work. This updated edition examines the
new developments in will preparation and what is needed for safe
practice as well as the important cases since the last edition.
This work contains indispensable practical guidance, tailored to
meet the demands of all those involved in wills, trusts, and
estates and disputes relating to them. Practical advice in
establishing best practice to avoid disputes is given and the
appendices include practical forms and checklists to assist this.
In addition there is analysis of the allied subjects of estate and
trust administration and commonly encountered problem areas. A
section also concentrates on duties in relation to taxation aspects
of this work. Negligence and private client work is a fast
developing area of modern law. The recent financial crisis has
helped to focus attention closely on what risk is and how it should
be managed. This has not merely been in the financial sector but in
all areas of business. The legal profession has seen some major
financial failures and an operating climate that is increasingly
difficult. The rise in PI claims, the insurers' restrictions on
cover, and the increased cost of cover have led to an increased
focus on professional ability and risk management. Therefore,
knowledge of the risks, what constitutes safe practice, and how to
manage risk, are essential for anyone practising in this area.
