Well written, but not as comprehensive as the title suggests.......2007-05-24

The book is a decent reference, but not nearly as comprehensive as I had hoped. Let me down a couple of times when I was looking for information about a particular specialty.

If you are a student, don't buy it. Check to see if your library, law library, or career services office has a copy and borrow it from them. There is little need for you to buy a copy of your own.

details explaination of each specialization in law. worth reading for those who are considering law as a profession but not sure which field they are interested in.

Every law student (or would be law student) should read this book.......2006-03-11

As a law school career counselor, I can attest that one of the top challenges students face is determining what they want to do with their law degree and how to get what they want. This book goes a long way in helping to solve that riddle. I recommend it to every law student with whom I work. Each one who has followed my advice has praised the recomendation. My Admissions Office will not give me my personal copy back because they find it so useful.

This book lays out many of the typical and not-so-typical practice areas lawyers may enter, explaining what to expect, how to prepare for these jobs, and what employers are looking for. Law students will still need to do some self-analysis on what they are looking for, but this book will help immensely in sorting out areas that may work for them. It is especially helpful in that it may point them to areas they may not have thought of. I have seen many students gravitate towards areas because they are easy to understand or grasp onto. This book helps them open their eyes to many other areas.

A very useful book for yourself or to counsel others.......2004-01-21

I work in the career services field and have found this book very helpful in counselling law students. Most law students come into law school with a vague notion of what they want to do, but no sense of what it really means to practice a particular kind of law. Ms. Abrams book gives them a real-world account of what lawyers in each specialty do all day and what they can expect out of their careers. I'd highly recommend this to anyone considering a legal career or anyone helping those who are.

How to appear knowledgeable during on-campus interviews:.......2003-10-10

For anyone who needs an edge over competition during recruiting season, here is your ticket. Abrams' books is well-organized, comprehensive and illuminating. If you read it, you will learn the most basic lingo of the various legal practice areas. You will also be able to identify the specialities that suit your personality (for instance litigation and corporate are very different). You'll enter the interview process more self-aware and be aware of what's out there; as a result you'll be able to effectively market yourself to particular firms. If you don't read the Official Guide and don't know anything about the different practices of law yet, how do you know you are not making a mistake pursuing the practice of law? Read it, then apply for those jobs.

Book Description

This comprehensive volume provides an indispensable analysis of the development of agricultural policy in Western Europe and the United States.

After providing a background to agricultural policy in the two regions, the authors focus on specific issues including:

development policy and trade intervention up to 1930 a review of the major adjustments to agricultural policy in the world depression of the 1930s agricultural adjustment and trade interaction between 1940 and 1973, including the enlargement of the EC, the formation of CAP and the foundation of GATT an examination of the growth in agricultural protection in the 1980s and the effects of the Uruguay round of GATT negotiations on trade conflicts the EU's 1992 reform of CAP policy reforms in the 1990s in the US and Western Europe and the prospects for the future

The book concludes that although there continue to be substantial differences in agricultural policy between the EU and the US, they are diminishing as a result of a fundamental similarity of the forces pushing for reform and the harmonizing effects of international negotiations.

This book is about self employment, not businesses........2003-07-09

This book is about self employment, not businesses. The difference is broadly explained in other books (that I will not mention, because you might think I am trying advertise those), but basically is the fact that the business is capable of running without the owner, and the self employment depends on the owner for it's existence.
The advice and examples given in this book refer to self employment. For example, in the first chapter, the Vargas Family (a family of trapecist that performs at the Ringling Brothers Circus) is presented as a successful business. This one is not even self employment, the Vargas are EMPLOYEES of Ringling Brothers.
If you dream of having a business that doesn't need you to be there all day every day, don't follow these commandments. If you do, you won't own a business, you will own a Job.

Excellent MUST READ.......2000-06-19

I can not state the value of this book, since it made me aware of what was wrong with my business early enough for me for me to fix it. I am an entrepenuer with a several rapidly growing businesses, and without this guide I would have been in trouble. Having this book really saved my business!

Very good resource.......1999-12-25

If you've got a small business--particularly if you are just starting out--this book will be very helpful. It's a very good resource, I'd recommend it along with Jay Conrad Levinson's Guerrilla Marketing and the book on yellow pages advertising by Barry Maher (if you, like most of us have to advertise in the phone book). I'd also consider Denny Hatch's book on direct marketing, if that's a part of your business.

Book Description

The first volume in the China 2020 seven-volume set, China 2020: Development Challenges in the New Century, provides an overview of the country's strengths and weaknesses as well as its obstacles and options. The report argues that China can meet these challenges and sustain rapid growth,
mainly because of its strengths including its relative stability, a remarkably high savings rate, a strong record of pragmatic reforms, a disciplined and literate labor force, a supportive Chinese diaspora, and growing administrative capacity. These strengths have driven the country's growth for the
past two decades and can continue to do so over the next two. To nurture these strengths and use them effectively, however, reforms must develop in three related areas: the spread of market forces must be encouraged; the government must begin serving markets by building the legal, social, physical,
and institutional infrastructure, and integration with the world economy must be deepened.

Book Description

Bruce Ackerman offers a sweeping reinterpretation of our nation's constitutional experience and its promise for the future. Integrating themes from American history, political science, and philosophy, We the People confronts the past, present, and future of popular sovereignty in America. Only this distinguished scholar could present such an insightful view of the role of the Supreme Court. Rejecting arguments of judicial activists, proceduralists, and neoconservatives, Ackerman proposes a new model of judicial interpretation that would synthesize the constitutional contributions of many generations into a coherent whole. The author ranges from examining the origins of the dualist tradition in the Federalist Papers to reflecting upon recent, historic constitutional decisions. The latest revolutions in civil rights, and the right to privacy, are integrated into the fabric of constitutionalism. Today's Constitution can best be seen as the product of three great exercises in popular sovereignty, led by the Founding Federalists in the 1780s, the Reconstruction Republicans in the 1860s, and the New Deal Democrats in the 1930s.

Ackerman examines the roles played during each of these periods by the Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. He shows that Americans have built a distinctive type of constitutional democracy, unlike any prevailing in Europe. It is a dualist democracy, characterized by its continuing effort to distinguish between two kinds of politics: normal politics, in which organized interest groups try to influence democratically elected representatives; and constitutional politics, in which the mass of citizens mobilize to debate matters of fundamental principle. Although American history is dominated by normal politics, our tradition places a higher value on mobilized efforts to gain the consent of the people to new governing principles.In a dualist democracy, the rare triumphs of constitutional politics determine the course of normal politics.More than a decade in the making, and the first of three volumes, this compelling book speaks to all who seek to renew and redefine our civic commitments in the decades ahead.

Customer Reviews:

The most significant constitutional work in 25 years.......2005-01-17

This seminal piece of constitutional theory represents more than a decade of thought and consideration; it is Ackerman's opus that substantial reinterprets the traditional understanding of constitutional history. Ackerman begins by developing the concept of the Dualist Constitution. Unlike the British parliamentary system, we do not give plenary lawmaking authority to the victors of a normal election. Instead we recognize a two track system with the victors of normal elections given the political power, but not the authority to change the basic constitutional structure. To gain the power to alter the Constitution, a movement for constitutional change requires the sustained support of We The People.

Of course, this idea flies in the face of the traditional claim that the only valid means of changing the Constitution is through Article V. Ackerman claims that the two most important periods of constitutional reorientation occurred outside of the strictures of Article V by utilizing unconventional modes of ratifying popular change (see Volume 2, Transformations, for this). Ackerman argues that there were three periods of massive constitutional change: the Founding, Reconstruction, and the New Deal. Now I have historical criticisms with some of this, which is dealt with in my review of Transformations, but overall Ackerman's argument is persuasive.

After making his historical argument, Ackerman lays out a role for the Supreme Court that refutes the monist claim that Court power violates democratic principles. Ackerman argues that the Court has a preservationist role to play: that it maintains the principles established by the People against attack by politicians in normal eras.

Ackerman's book is brilliant, but one must remember that this volume is only the initial overview. It doesn't seek to explain every piece of the theory in thorough detail; that is the job for the other volumes. I would recommend that anyone reading this volume should hold off making judgments until after reading Transformations.

Something's Missing.......2001-08-28

Something's missing from this book. Maybe it's that Ackerman is not as incandescently deceptive .... No, Ackerman is not so fine a worker with the constitution. It's more like he's rummaging around in the cupboard, making a lot of noise about historical debates here and there, and big supreme court decisions that do or don't bear out some preferred value. By the middle of the book, you cease to care, and just wish he'd stop making noise. .... In summary, this is an example of what the Crits refer to as a "hard book" ....

Essential Historical Constitutional Analysis.......1999-12-18

Ackerman describes historically how we arrived at our current Constitutional jurisprudence. He compares the original Constitution with the changes arising out of Reconstruction and then out of the New Deal--emphasizing that those changes cannot be adequately described within the formal Article V ammendment process. We might wish history had gone otherwise--I know I often do--but he gives a framework to at least understand it.

This book is a major step forward in recogizing that the fundemental structures of American Constitutional law require both sound analytical models as well as rich historical context.

This is one of the handful of most thought-provoking and persuasive books I have read on the Constitutional process.

This is a terrible book........1999-04-25

At times our constitutional jurisprudence has fundamentally changed without a constitutional amendment. Bruce Ackerman tries to expalin this. He offers the theory of a constitutional moment that occurs when the public makes it clear that it is time for a new constitutional way. The problem is that only Ackerman knows when that moment occurs. This arrogance does violence to serious and meaningful constitutional interpretation

Great Overview of Constitutional Development.......1998-10-31

I bought Mr. Ackerman's Transformations part II to learn about the constitutional changes brought on by reconstruction. I learned so much about the constitution in this book that I went back to volume I. This is a MUST for anyone who desires to understand the nature of our government under the constitution.

Good book worth the money.......2000-03-04

I disaggree with the previous reviewer. The book is a nice, concise, and reasonably deep treatment of the topic. Thinking about it, with its 1996 publication date, this is one of the books that existed on the topic of CRM BEFORE it became such a big buzz word. Recommended.

The graphics and illustrations add NO value........1999-02-16

The graphics, illustrations and figures add no value to the book. They confuse the reader and distract their attention away from the authors points. I would not recommend reading this book unless the graphics were removed.
