Very informative book!
I was not so sure whether I'd even understand this book, let alone enjoy it, but found it really added to my knowledge about not only tort law, but also about law and economics in general. I'd particularly recommend it for other law students. Also, don't be intimidated by the authors' credentials--I have virtually no background in economics and still was able to follow it.

Business Law Explained for the Intelligent Layman
I was given this book for free by someone who had used it for a college course and didn't want it. I couldn't believe the person wanted to throw it away. This book tells all the basics of business law. If you don't know anything about business law, read it. It is a good book for beginners. I know I will keep it for a reference book for a long time. I am starting my own business and I refer to it all the time. Not only does the book tells just about everything you need to know about business law, it gives actual descriptions of court cases to illustrate the points of each section. A very good buy & an excellent reference book!

The Philosophy of Ethics meets Criminal Justice
Richard Hall's book provides students, professors, scholars and practitioners an excellent overview of the ethical decisions made within the criminal justice system. If readers take this book seriously, it may cause readers to consider re-engineering the way we approach ethics insofar as how we attempt to teach our law enforcement official how to act. Thie book provides several models of ethics and places these models in various contexts in the criminal justice system. The book is well written and well organized. I believe this book should be read by anybody considering a career in criminal justice or public policy.

A Must-Read for every Student Headed for College
The Educated Student should be required reading for every high school senior heading for college. I only wish it had been available when I needed it. It really helps to ease the anxiety of what to do, when and how to do it. The books covers everything from how to choose your courses and your Major; how to prepare for exams; writing papers; how to study; how to work with your professors; extra-curricular activities; how to study; and much, much more.

It is extremely well written, easy to follow, and easy to understand. It would make a perfect graduation gift or even a gift for a student who is already in college.


The Flat Tax: A Citizen's Guide to the Facts on What It Will Do for You, Your Country, and Your Pocketbook

The Flat Tax is Real Tax Reform
This book describes a tax relief measure that is much needed in America. While the book is now a few years old and some of Mr. Armey's predictions for the passage of Flat Tax legislation have not come to fruition, the description and explanations regarding the Flat Tax is still pertinent and applicable. This book is intended for ordinary citizens who are burdened by the onslaught of taxes at the local, state, and federal level. It is not intended reading for an economist and contains little jargon. The book answers common questions regarding Mr. Armey's proposal. It also debunks and refutes arguments that have been made against the Flat Tax as well as showing why competing tax reform measures miss the mark. The Flat Tax is an idea who's time has come and Mr. Armey has done a superb job explaining why it is needed now and why it will work to send America's economic growth through the ceiling.

Nice Explanations
The editor wrote a short forward explaining all the computer concepts the reader will need in order to understand the book. In addition, there are footnotes throughout the book explaining obscure people and computer terms. This way even a sociology major like myself can understand everything.

Stallman talks about important issues that are currently being played out in Washington DC. This book is a great way to help make sense of it all.
