"Public education is in crisis - and it has been for some time. The
problem is, no one can agree on the problem, and when there is no
agreement on the problem, developing solutions is nearly
impossible." Thus writes Matthew T. Lambert in this study of
present-day public higher education, which is currently plagued by
momentous challenges. In Privatization and the Public Good, Lambert
examines a range of developments related to the "privatization" of
public higher education in the United States, including increasing
"institutional autonomy, higher tuition, diminishing
appropriations, alternative revenue sources such as philanthropy
and new business ventures, and modified governance relationships."
These developments, in turn, have resulted in an uncertain future
for public academic institutions across the country, posing
unprecedented questions and challenges for them. Through a
wide-ranging analysis of the current situation and detailed case
studies that focus on prominent public universities in Virginia,
North Carolina, and California, Privatization and the Public Good
provides a panoramic account of the challenges faced by public
institutions. Insightful and essential, this book makes a crucial
contribution to the current reassessment of higher education in the
United States.
AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO ROMAN LAW. Originally published:
London: Stevens & Sons, 1882. xiii, lx, 626 pp. With an
extensive introduction. In this edition Mears arranged both
Institutes in parallel columns to facilitate comparisons. Passages
copied from Gaius are printed in italics. The two Novels, which
deal with intestate succession, are included because they
supplanted the sections on that subject in Justinian's Institutes.
" A] concise and practical vade meecum for the student of Roman Law
at the Universities and Inns of Court." --8 Law Magazine and Review
5th Series (1882-1883) 107. THOMAS LAMBERT MEARS 1839-1918] was a
barrister of the Inner Temple and legal writer who taught at the
University of London. Some of his notable works are Analysis of M.
Ortolan's Institutes of Justinian (1876), and A Treatise on the
Admiralty Jurisdiction and Practice of the High Court of Justice
(1903).
A landmark in the study of Roman law Reprint of the only edition.
The final edition of Ortolan's Explication Historique des Instituts
de Justinien (1873) is a vast three-volume work containing a
history of Roman law, a treatise on Roman jurisprudence and a
complete commentary on the Institutes, the textbook of Justinian's
law from the Corpus Juris Civilis. It was the standard textbook in
its day and often the basis for examinations. Conceived for
students with limited time and fluency in French, Mears's Analysis
is a skillful condensation of Ortolan's work. Still a remarkably
comprehensive study, it provides an excellent contextual overview
of Roman law. CONTENTS PART I. History of Roman Legislation First

This study concerns the position of Saint Thomas Aquinas on human
self knowledge ("the soul's knowledge of itself," in medieval
idiom). Its main goal is to present a comprehensive account of
Aquinas's philosophy of self knowledge, by clarifying his texts on
this topic and explaining why he made the claims he did. A second
objective is to situate Thomas's position on self awareness within
general world, and specific thirteenth century, traditions
concerning this theme. And a third is to apply Aquinas's approach
and insights to selected and contemporary issues that involve self
knowledge, such as the alleged paradoxes of self reflection and of
"unconscious awareness." The primary approach is that of "critical
narrative," which attempts to understand St. Thomas's texts by
posing critical questions for them. While this questioning may
expose certain texts as equivocal or unsupported, usually Thomas
emerges as coherent, reasonable, and better understood. This work
is serious scholarship that presumes reader interest in
philosophical reflection and some background in medieval type
thinking. On the other hand, the book is not narrowly specialized
in Aquinas or a single methodology, but includes broad reference to
worldwide traditions and attempts to integrate St. Thomas's
approach into topics of contemporary interest.
