This monograph has two main objectives. The first one is to give a
self-contained exposition of the relevant facts about set operads,
in the context of combinatorial species and its operations. This
approach has various advantages: one of them is that the definition
of combinatorial operations on species, product, sum, substitution
and derivative, are simple and natural. They were designed as the
set theoretical counterparts of the homonym operations on
exponential generating functions, giving an immediate insight on
the combinatorial meaning of them. The second objective is more
ambitious. Before formulating it, authors present a brief historic
account on the sources of decomposition theory. For more than forty
years decompositions of discrete structures have been studied in
different branches of discrete mathematics: combinatorial
optimization, network and graph theory, switching design or boolean
functions, simple multi-person games and clutters, etc.
The Seventh Edition of this casebook provides a systematic
comparison of the Evidence Code's and Federal Rules' approaches to
admissibility of evidence. Transcripts of witness examinations help
students visualize the process of presenting and objecting to
evidence. The book combines the problem and witness examination
approach with text, not cases, that sets out the law of evidence in
a clear and concise manner. It discusses major cases and the
policies and concepts underlying the rules, not just the rules
themselves. The end of each chapter includes the text of the code
sections and rules discussed in that chapter. Changes from the
Sixth Edition include: (1) Significant revisions of the Questions
and Problems to eliminate true-false questions and replace them
with real-life hypotheticals that give students an opportunity to
argue for and against the admission of specific items of evidence;
(2) Reductions in the text regarding the role of 1982's Proposition
8 to reflect the reality that it has made only a few changes in the
admissibility of evidence in criminal cases; (3) Revisions of the
sections involving Specific Conduct for Non-Character Purposes, to
better illustrate the difficulties in using uncharged offenses that
are similar to the charged offenses; (4) Division of the Chapter on
Impeachment of the Credibility of Witnesses to make it more
manageable to teach and less daunting to explore; (5) Inclusion of
recent developments limiting the use of hearsay by expert
witnesses; and (6) Restructuring of the chapters on privileges by
eliminating redundant material and grouping similar privileges
together in one chapter, thus reducing the number of chapters on
privileges from 11 to 6.
