The Oxford Companion to American Law
Roger Bernhardt
Author of section: Real Property.
A landmark in legal publishing, The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court is a now classic text many of whose entries are regularly cited by scholars as the definitive statement on any particular subject. In the tradition of that work, editor in chief Kermit L. Hall offers up The Oxford Companion to American Law, a one-volume, A-Z encyclopedia that covers topics ranging from aging and the law, wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping, the Salem Witch Trials and Plessy vs. Ferguson.
The Companion takes as its starting point the insight that law is embedded in society, and that to understand American law one must necessarily ask questions about the relationship between it and the social order, now and in the past. The volume assumes that American law, in all its richness and complexity, cannot be understood in isolation, as simply the business of the Supreme Court, or as a list of common law doctrines. Hence, the volume takes seriously issues involving laws role in structuring decisions about governance, the significance of state and local law and legal institutions, and the place of American law in a comparative international perspective. Nearly 500 entries are included, written by over 300 expert contributors.
Intended for the working lawyer or judge, the high school student working on a term paper, or the general adult reader interested in the topic, the Companion is the authoritative reference work on the subject of American law. -

The Earth on Trial: Environmental Law on the International Stage
Paul S. Kibel
The Earth on Trial examines the degree to which the law has accommodated an increased understanding of the natural environment. Paul Stanton Kibel provides a clear assessment of what conceptual and practical changes are needed to reconcile law to the limits of ecology. By moving the debate between law and the environment beyond specialists, and towards a public forum, The Earth on Trial acknowledges that a healthy environmental future depends not so much on our ability to alter nature to accommodate society, as our ability to alter society to accommodate nature.

Uproar at Dancing Rabbit Creek: Battling Over Race, Class, and the Environment
Colin Crawford
"In late 1990, Ed Netherland - a renegade Tennessee entrepreneur driven both by financial gain and his own battle with cancer - actively sought the endorsement of Noxubee County, Mississippi, for his company's toxic-waste disposal facility. He was armed with cash and promises of new jobs, but he met unexpected opposition: Martha Blackwell, a white housewife and descendant of the planter class, helped to organize a movement to stop the dump. However, Netherland also made unlikely allies: poor blacks and poor whites, who united to push for new jobs and the opportunity to wrest political and economic power from the landed families. Their effort was led and personified by the self-styled savior of Noxubee's black majority, Ike Brown. The ensuing battle tore the county apart, pitting families, friends, and even entire church congregations against one another, unleashing century-old hatreds and blood feuds." "At the heart of the story lies control over the land, an issue William Faulkner saw as the "curse" of Southern history (Dancing Rabbit Creek was the site of an 1830 federal treaty with the Choctaw Indians, leading to their forced exodus). Only the characters are new: with Blackwell, Brown, and Netherland, there is Prentiss "Printz" Bolin, the former Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Trent Lott, who returned home to Noxubee County as local salesman of a waste dump proposed by Netherland's competitors; Ralph Higginbotham, the white president of the county Board of Supervisors, who was supported by blacks but derided by prosperous whites as a "hillbilly"; Essie Spencer, a retired school teacher and leading black opponent of the toxic dump; and a host of other vividly drawn characters."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
