Published in Hardcover by Carolina Academic Press (1999)
Author: Richard B. Cunningham
Amazon base price: $80.00
Average review score:

Understand property law by taking a trip into the past!
A well written and neatly organized case book. It takes advanced legal concepts of property and plays them out in the context of archarology. I can't think of a more interesting and enthralling manner to learn the law of finds than through the story of the Central America!

Cunningham's book is a delight. Almost makes me want to go take his class in person at UC HASTINGS!

Thumbs up!!
This book is my bible. It is perfection itself. It is the most up to date resource of its kind, and of any kind. The author is a god. Please call him Zeus, all of his friends do. I do not know the author, but he is one of the voices in my head. If you read the book backwards, you will find inner peace. Buy it

Average review score:

The clash of law and religion: Who owns our body parts?
E Richard Gold's Body Parts is 'must' reading for anyone interested in the patenting of genes or biological materials. Gold demonstrates that the law is moving inexorably in the direction of attending only to economic values, whereas historically and in most religious traditions, the human body serves many values outside of economics.

Good book, but AMZN's price is high
You can get the book at much cheaper price from elsewhere including book stores.

Let the Devil sort 'em out!
While "kill 'em all" may be an extreme reaction, this book offers a number of highly satisfying solutions to the problem of persecution by the goose-stepping thugs of the world of debt collection.

This book, along with Dover and Donovan's Back Off! empowers the reader with a vast quantity of information so that a victim may make informed decisions in dealing with their debt situation.

While the finer points of the Law apply to the American Justice System, the principles may be applied in virtually any democracy. One of the most useful things about this book is that it explains the structure of the organizations and the PSYCHOLOGY of debt collection. Knowing your enemy is 90% of the battle.

I would like to expand on the psychological aspects of the debt collection process. In my own experience, in which I was being hounded by a Canadian-based collection agency (some years ago), I noticed that they often use female collectors. This, plus the TONE OF VOICE used by these women is the key to the darker side of collection practices.

All people usually subconsciously associate women with nurturing and the Mother figure. By the female debt collectors using a Standard Harsh Callous Unfeeling Cruel Debt Collector Tone Of Voice, they are deliberately trying to trigger a fear and panic response in their victims. This parallels the experiments in which female monkeys have had their facial nerves severed so that they cannot show emotion via facial expression, which causes extreme distress and panic in their babies.

Debt collection, as it is usually practiced, is one of the most disgusting and utterly cruel practices in Western society. Many people have literally been driven to suicide by these monsters. Others have simply given up and declared bankruptcy, although as we see, this does not necessarily end the harassment. More than a few bailiffs have been shot dead by desperate debtors, and it is surely only a matter of time before somebody adopts a Tim McVeigh solution to the problem of harassment.

This wonderful book clearly shows that it needn't come to this. Before you strap on ninety pounds of C-4 and six inch nails, please read this superb study. Not only will it be more satisfying to use the System to defeat these callous bullies, you'll even live to see the fruits of your actions!

Please do not consider my above comments to be flippant. I know what went through my own mind during my darkest hours of persecution. While I was able to clear my own debts by getting a consolidation mortgage, there are many people who do not have this option, and for them, desperate measures will surely beckon.

In the post-911 world, even debt collectors should be reflecting on their mortality. I urge you to arm yourselves with knowledge, not propylene oxide. Buy this book, and Back Off!, and beat the bullies at their own game. Nuke the system, not the building!


Communication in Legal Advocacy (Studies in Communication Processes Series)
Published in Paperback by University of South Carolina Press (1992)
Authors: Richard D. Rieke and Randall K. Stutman
Amazon base price: $21.95
Used price: $20.68
Average review score:

Communication in Legal Advocacy
I found this book quite helpful in understanding the use of communication in dispute resolution. The material is presented clearly and intelligently, but not in an intimidating manner; it is understandable. The material itself is thorough, with several documented studies and examples to illustrate the points made. All claims were supported by evidence or logic. It is a book I would recommend for anyone interested in the legal processes, for it demostrates the importance of communication to those processes. I would also recommend this book to those who are interested in the theory of communication and do not necessarily desire a focus on the legal system. The ideas of and studies on communication are fascinating independently of their application to legal advocacy.

The Complete Entheogen Law Reporter Vol.1 (Issues 1-10)
Published in Library Binding by Spectral Mindustries (01 January, 1999)

Amazon base price: $35.00
Average review score:

Professional Info on a Secret Subject
I got this after hearing about The Entheogen Law Reporter newsletter, but learning it is out of print. This volume compiles all the past issues. I was amazed at Boire's knowledge of entheogens and the legal problems around them. I can't imagine a better source for such information than this compilation. I don't really care about legaleze and was very happy to find that this is so well-written it's like reading a great SF novel or something. It seems expensive, but not when you figure it is first rate legal info on a weird topic.


Conducting Insanity Evaluations, Second Edition
Published in Hardcover by Guilford Press (18 February, 2000)
Authors: Richard Rogers, Daniel Shuman, and Daniel W. Shuman
Amazon base price: $44.00
Used price: $27.60
Average review score:

A Dynamic Partnership!
Here's yet another--MUST READ--for the forensic expert! The authors have formed a "poetic partnership," especially in that both the legal and the psychiatric/psychological fields are successfully brought together in their focus. The text is clearly extensively researched, well-documented and, perhaps, most importantly, is packed full of valuable information! A clear line of communication is established between both the legal and the mental health professional. An extensive list of references is also provided. Rogers and Shuman have done an admirable job with CONDUCTING INSANITY EVALUATIONS!

Reviewer is the author of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity,(which is also on Amazon.com).
