successful, and perhaps even pleasant law school experience--read
this book
Written by students, for students, " Law School Confidential" has
been the "must-have" guide for anyone thinking about, applying to,
or attending law school for more than a decade. And now, in this
newly revised third edition, it's more valuable than ever.
This isn't the advice of graying professors or battle-scarred
practitioners long removed from law school. Robert H. Miller has
assembled a blue-ribbon panel of recent graduates from across the
country to offer realistic and informative firsthand advice about
what law school is really like.
This updated edition contains the very latest information and
strategies for thriving and surviving in law school--from
navigating the admissions process and securing financial aid,
choosing classes, studying and exam strategies, and securing a seat
on the law review to getting a judicial clerkship and a job,
passing the bar exam, and much, much more. Newly added material
also reveals a sea change that is just starting to occur in legal
education, turning it away from the theory-based platform of the
previous several decades to a pragmatic platform being demanded by
the rigors of today's practices.
"Law School Confidential" is a complete guide to the law school
experience that no prospective or current law student can afford to
be without.
Bob Backlund began life as a poor farm boy in the little village of
Princeton, Minnesota, with a population of just over 2,000 people.
He was a below-average student with a lackluster work ethic and a
bad attitude, who hung with the wrong crowd and made a lot of bad
choices. He was a kid whose life was headed for disaster-until a
local coach took interest in him, suggested that he take up amateur
wrestling, and offered to work with him if he promised to stay out
of trouble. It was in North Dakota that Bob Backlund had the first
of several chance encounters that would shape his destiny. While
working out at the YMCA gymnasium in Fargo, North Dakota, where he
wrestled for North Dakota State, Backlund met a well-known
professional wrestler, "Superstar" Billy Graham. The men talked,
and at Graham's suggestion, Backlund was inspired to pursue a
career in professional wrestling. Less than five years from that
day, on February 20, 1978, Backlund would find himself halfway
across the country, standing in the middle of the ring at Madison
Square Garden with his hand raised in victory as the newly crowned
World Wide Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion. The man
Backlund pinned for the championship that night was none other than
Superstar Billy Graham. Featuring contributions from Bruno
Sammartino, Harley Race, Terry Funk, Pat Patterson, Ken Patera,
Sergeant Slaughter, The Magnificent Muraco, George "The Animal"
Steele, "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas, The Iron Sheik, and many others, this
book tells the incredible story of the life and nearly forty-year
career of one of the most famous men to ever grace the squared
circle. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing

Do low income tax rates result in more job creation than do higher
rates? The answer to this question is not a matter of opinion.
There are historical records with facts that support or refute this
premise and enable one to determine whether such a correlation
actually exists. Yet the increasing staccato of voices from the
right and left proclaiming their ideological viewpoint to be
correct without bothering to provide any substantiation leaves the
truly independent individual in a quandary. But no more. Robert H.
Miller, a retired senior corporate executive and CPA, provides an
unbiased, objective and most definitely non-ideological answer to
that question with the facts to support it, and in a manner that
can be readily understood by even the most partisan politician or
beleaguered bureaucrat.
"Do You Understand What You Are Reading?" This book by Kenneth A.
Pierce and Robert H. Miller is a Presbyterian Primer, one of a
series of books written in non-academic style, specifically
designed to reach new or previously unread Church members. It takes
the time-honored principles of biblical interpretation and presents
them in a way that is understandable and practical for the everyday
Christian. Along the way, it tackles some tough passages of
Scripture and sheds light on how to know the intended meaning and
correct usage. Ken and Bob give insight into the language and
culture of the Bible's writers, discuss the genre and context of
the writings, and look at the impact of manuscript evidence and
presuppositions on biblical interpretation. They offer suggestions
on Bible versions and commentaries, as well as other study helps
such as concordances and dictionaries. But most helpful are their
common sense rules of observation, interpretation and application,
applied to the various major divisions of Bible text: historical
narrative, law, poetry, wisdom literature, the Prophets, the
Gospels, the Epistles and the Revelation. The reader can gain
confidence in his or her knowledge of the Scriptures simply from
reading this book; and then, when the principles are applied
through study, a newfound assurance and wonder will be the result.

English novelist, short-story writer, playwright and journalist,
Graham Greene was one of the most widely read novelist of the
20th-century, a superb storyteller. Adventure and suspense are
constant elements in his novels and many of his books have been
made into successful films. Although Greene was nominated several
times as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature, he never
received the award.
Graham Greene is a descriptive catalog of first editions of
works by Greene, which are currently held in the collection of the
University of Louisville. Arranged chronologically by title, Robert
H. Miller, also includes letters, radio scripts, pamphlets, and
subsequent editions of importance and scarcity.
