Understanding the impact of constitutional rights in the real
world depends on understanding the law of constitutional remedies
for their violation. Integrating the history, doctrine, and policy
of constitutional remedy, Wells and Eaton explain how people go
about trying to obtain redress for violations of their
constitutional rights. Diverse issues arise when persons seek to
bring a lawsuit against governments, officials, or private
individuals for violation of their constitutional rights. Among
them are whether the injury ought to be accorded constitutional
status at all, or instead should be treated as a routine wrong, no
different in principle from a traffic accident. If the case
warrants constitutional status, the next issue is whether or not
suit may be brought against the officer who committed the wrong or
his government employer, and so on. On each of these and other
issues the authors guide the reader through the complex body of
doctrine, the lively case law debates, and the scholarly literature
over the appropriate mix of policies and the means by which to
achieve them.

In his gripping and provocative debut, anthropologist Jason De Leon
sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our
time-the human consequences of US immigration policy. The Land of
Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in
the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants
attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.
Drawing on the four major fields of anthropology, De Leon uses an
innovative combination of ethnography, archaeology, linguistics,
and forensic science to produce a scathing critique of "Prevention
through Deterrence," the federal border enforcement policy that
encourages migrants to cross in areas characterized by extreme
environmental conditions and high risk of death. For two decades,
this policy has failed to deter border crossers while successfully
turning the rugged terrain of southern Arizona into a killing
field. In harrowing detail, De Leon chronicles the journeys of
people who have made dozens of attempts to cross the border and
uncovers the stories of the objects and bodies left behind in the
desert. The Land of Open Graves will spark debate and controversy.
The distinctive feature of this Federal Courts casebook, and the
main difference between it and other Federal Courts books, is its
systematic focus on remedial issues, especially the problems that
arise when a litigant tries to enforce federal constitutional
rights against state officers in the federal courts. Departing from
the traditional approach of Federal Courts books, the book begins
with a chapter on 1983 litigation, and includes a comprehensive
treatment of habeas corpus. The book stresses economy of means,
clarity of presentation, and attention to the real-world Federal
Courts issues that students need to understand and anticipate. This
edition covers the principal cases decided by the Supreme Court
over the past four years, including Hertz Corp. v. Friend (chapter
3), Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation and Massachusetts v.
EPA (chapter 4), Watson v. Philip Morris and Haywood v. Drown
(chapter 7), Boumediene v. Bush, Danforth v. Minnesota, Schriro v.
Landrigan, Panetti v. Quarterman, and Magwood v. Patterson (chapter
9).

Michael Welling analysiert den gegenwartigen Status quo des
Forschungsfeldes "Marke" und zeigt ein gravierendes Begriffsdefizit
auf. Er begegnet diesem mit einer die identifizierten Probleme
uberwindenden Markendefinition und stellt den bislang dominierenden
verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen mit der Okonomik ein
alternatives Erkenntnisobjekt zur Seite. Er legt die Moglichkeiten
verfugungsrechtlicher und vor allem informationsokonomischer
Analysen dar und erarbeitet damit ein (alternatives) Fundament fur
die noch immer defizitare Markentheorie.

Seamus and Liam Quinn, brothers, are enlisted members in the Irish
Republican Army. They execute a mission to explode a bank involved
in illegally repossessing homes from Catholic landowners. Murphy,
the leader of the Ulster Volunteer Force, retaliates for this bold
move and murders Seamus, sadistically, in presence of his family.
Gavin, the youngest of the Quinn brothers, wrestles with his
morality as he now enlists in the IRA to avenge the death of his
brother. Will this set things right? Fiona, now widowed, holds onto
her silent rage in this perverse world which seems sarcastically
normal to those in it. The Quinn brothers now cultivate a plan for
retribution as the violence escalates uncontrollably. Jack, a
politician from the Crown who placed Murphy in power now must
confront the realization that his collusion with the Ulsters is a
mistake. Murphy's psychotic strategy intensifies but-who gives the
orders? is it even reality...? He seeks control by imprisoning and
beating victims indiscriminately. One of them, Gavin gets locked up
in the securest prison, the Maze. Jack has a moral dilemma after
discovering that Murphy is a serial killer. Now he must decide how
best to cover up this political disaster and most importantly to
conceal his involvement. His plan is to hide the truth behind an
IRA assassination so he helps Gavin escape to take out the trash.
Murphy's number is up but he is not going easily. First things
first, the path leads to Murphy and he must be dealt with. The boys
execute their plan to move on the Cross and take out this vile man.
It is a military base and not the kind of place any man should be
except the best tool-an angry Irish woman-Fiona who has dreamt of
revenge. Now she gets the chance to exact the same abuse that has
ripped her family apart. If they survive the scars that remain will
be visible for their entire lives. In the end, one thing rings
true: violence begets violence and the only way to stop the
fighting, is simply to END IT.
