This is the most authoritative biography of Eva Braun ever written.
The author, who holds doctorates from UC Berkeley and the
University of Bonn, began researching the life and times of Eva
Braun in 1997, when he became the first American to be appointed to
a professorship in law at a German university. The author's ability
to conduct research and to interview witnesses in both English and
German enabled him to discover astonishing new facts about Eva
Braun, including her personal involvement in anti-Semitic pogroms
and the startling revelation that Eva Braun suffered from Mayer
Rokitansky Syndrome or "MRKH," the congenital absence of a
functioning vagina and uterus. Written with a popular audience in
mind, the present biography omits citations to authority in order
to keep the book under 400 pages in length. Those who want a full
academic treatment will be pleased to learn that the author's
600-page biography, replete with over 2,000 footnotes, will be
published in early 2012. The author is also planning to publish an
abridged version of "The Untold Story of Eva Braun" which omits
much of the background information on politics and the war.
What does it mean when civil lawyers and common lawyers think
differently? In Charting the Divide between Common and Civil Law,
Thomas Lundmark provides a comprehensive introduction to the uses,
purposes, and approaches to studying civil and common law in a
comparative legal framework. Superbly organized and exhaustively
written, this volume covers the jurisdictions of Germany, Sweden,
England and Wales, and the United States, and includes a discussion
of each country's legal issues, structure, and their general rules.
Professor Lundmark also explores the discipline of comparative
legal studies, rectifying many of the misconceptions and prejudices
that cloud our understanding of the divide between the common law
and civil law traditions.
Students of international law, comparative law, social philosophy,
and legal theory will find this volume a valuable introduction to
common and civil law. Lawyers, judges, political scientists,
historians, and philosophers will also find this book valuable as a
source of reference. Charting theDivide between Common and Civil
Law equips readers with the background and tools to think
critically about different legal systems and evaluate their future
direction.
This book provides a coherent, readily accessible analysis of the
tensions inherent in American constitutional law between the
governing body and the governed. Combining extensive analysis with
text from seminal Supreme Court decisions, each chapter examines
different components of constitutional law. It has been updated to
include the most current legislative and Supreme Court decisions
affecting constitutional law.
Part One examines the structure of the federal government of the
United States, focusing on the core principles of separation of
powers and federalism. Part Two presents an overview of the
constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. For ease of understanding,
these are divided into liberty and equality rights. A thorough
review for students of constitutional law as well as a systematic
reference for lawyers and scholars, Power & Rights in U.S.
Constitutional Law is an invaluable guide to the delicate balance
between governmental power and the constitutional rights of
individual citizens.
