• Basic Legal Drafting: Litigation Documents, Contracts, Legislative Documents

    02
    BASIC LEGAL DRAFTING offers down-to-earth instruction on how to draft well-organized and clearly articulated legal documents. A culmination of twenty-five years of teaching in the highly regarded Legal Drafting Program at the University of Florida College of Law, the book is designed to be used as a resource for law students and practicing attorneys, as well as a textbook for drafting classes. The text is particularly strong in its discussions of how to organize a document, often the most difficult task facing a drafter and typically under-addressed in other drafting manuals. Equally useful are the very concrete recommendations on how to articulate the language of a document in order to achieve clarity and precision. The text helpfully distinguishes traditional drafting principles from common conventions and stylistic preferences. The litigation chapter addresses complaints, answers and motions. Useful examples range from a simple negligence complaint to a complex statutory-based multi-count complaint and appropriate responses. The contracts chapter includes an extensive discussion, with examples, on how to create for any contract a logical, coherent framework that underlines the drafter’s (and presumably the client’s) intentions. The chapter addresses in detail the articulation of particular provisions, including definitions, termination and exculpatory provisions. Its comprehensive discussion of how to recognize and avoid various types of ambiguity will prove useful beyond the contract drafting context. The legislation chapter identifies common legislative protocols and applies, within those protocols, many of the organization and articulation principles set out in the contracts chapter. While the text uses litigation documents, contracts and legislation as the bases for its discussions, Basic Legal Drafting offers practical, realistic advice and instructions that will be useful to the drafter of any type of legal document.

  • ROBBERY WITH MALICE a gripping British legal thriller full of twists (A Chris Tyroll Mystery Book 2)

    02
    Just before the start of what should be an idyllic Christmas, two very different women manage to turn West Midland lawyer Chris Tyroll’s life upside down.

    One is his beautiful and no-nonsense fiancée, Sheila McKenna, who arrives unexpectedly at Heathrow.

    To Chris’s delight, she announces that she has arranged a year’s sabbatical in England.

    The other is the less shapely, but equally beguiling Granny Cassidy who persuades Chris to take on the appeal of Alan Walton; her son-in-law convicted in the infamous Belstone Lane Case.

    As a man who has served twelve years for crimes he claims he didn’t commit, Walton has nothing left to lose and is dead set on an appeal. To Chris the case initially seems hopeless, but sensing that something doesn’t quite add up and with scores of his own to settle, he reluctantly accepts the job.

    He and Sheila begin the daunting task of unearthing files that had been closed for eighteen years and searching for parties who frequently don’t want to be found.

    But troublesome enmities are awakened and witnesses are silenced — sometimes by murder.

    Repeated threats put the duo in danger until violent threats come to fruition and it becomes crystal clear that trouble awaits them if the case is probed any further.

    Chris is no stranger to hassle from criminals and dubious policemen, but having narrowly escaped death only last year, images of masked judges and police flash through his mind at night and he wonders whether this time will be different.

    Someone, somewhere, will stop at nothing to ensure the case remains permanently closed.

    But who are these figures sent to stop Chris in the dark and why are they so concerned?

    A complicated trail of lies and forgeries have to be unravelled before Chris and Sheila can even begin to understand the extent to which the law has been perverted to pursue a private revenge…

    ‘Robbery for Malice’ is a gripping legal thriller, perfect for fans of John Grisham.

    Praise for Barrie Roberts:

    ‘This book has a lot of spirit and is very enjoyable and well-informed read. It’s refereshingly different to what’s on offer elsewhere and I’m looking forward to future entries in what could well be a successful series.’ Mat Coward, Morning Star.

    Barrie Roberts has been a criminal lawyer for almost thirty years, working for two firms in the West Midlands including work on the appeals of the Birmingham Six. He is the author of four Sherlock Holmes books and one previous Chris Tyroll mystery, ‘The Victory Snapshot’.

  • Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession: a practical guide to trauma, burnout and collective care

    02

    Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession is a practical guide to trauma, burnout and collective care. Using case studies from lawyers in their own words, it provides the individual with tools for self-reflection and provides organisations with an understanding of trauma-informed working practices and guidance towards implementing collective care, training and support in the workplace.

    Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession is essential reading for social justice lawyers across many areas of law and should be required reading for organisational leaders, HR managers, practice managers, representational and membership associations and those in charge of regulation of the professions.

    Lawyers working in legal aid, social justice or with survivors of injury regularly work with traumatic and emotionally potent caseloads and often draw on skills for which they have had no formal training. They bear witness to the pain of clients, to the suffering that humans inflict upon each other, and to the incredible strength of survivors of violence, torture and abuse. They do this while dealing with the financial pressure of poor rates of pay, constantly overstretched resources and a relentlessly hostile political environment.

    While there has been a growing conversation within the legal profession about the mental health of lawyers, much of it looks at mental health as a primarily personal issue: the individual s work/life balance and stress as a personal response. Vicarious Trauma in the Legal Profession draws focus to the impact of traumatic casework for lawyers and how collectively change can be made.

    • Aberdeen Corporation Transport and its Successors

      02
      Aberdeen Corporation Transport and its successors, Grampian Transport and FirstBus/First Aberdeen, can trace their history back to 1898 when they commenced tram operation within the city of Aberdeen. Motor buses were first operated in 1920. During that period, all vehicles other than special occasion vehicles wore a livery of Brunswick green and white, being replaced by Lincoln green and cream in 1954. Although the company ventured into operating rural routes in competition with Northern Scottish during 1986, the company has always been, and continues to be, the major bus service provider within the city of Aberdeen. This book, written by three co-authors with a long-standing interest in buses operated in Aberdeen and the north-east of Scotland, concentrates on the fleet purchased by Aberdeen Corporation Transport and Grampian Transport from the early 1960s up to 1998, when the green livery was replaced by First corporate livery. Also featuring some earlier vehicles as well as demonstrators, ancillary vehicles and others, this book is an excellent portrait of the bus fleet in the Granite City.

    • United Counties Buses: A Fleet History, 1921-2014

      02
      United Counties Buses – A Fleet History begins by taking a brief look at the expansion of the United Counties Omnibus Company since its formation in September 1921 through to its demise in October 2014. The company acquired over fifty independent operators between 1922 and 1938 giving the company prominence in Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. May 1952 saw the fleet double in size with the acquisition of the Midland area of the Eastern National Omnibus Company, encompassing Bedfordshire, north Buckinghamshire and north Hertfordshire. The National Bus Company split United Counties into three operating companies in 1986, United Counties, Luton & District and MK Citybus, halving the size of the fleet. After being acquired by the Stagecoach Group in 1987, the company was largely left untouched. The main focus of the book looks at the vehicles operated by the company, covering the numerous types operated by United Counties themselves. The various liveries, both fleet and advertising liveries are also listed with in the book.

    • Tank Gun Systems: The First Thirty Years, 1916 1945: A Technical Examination

      02
      Much has been written about the use of tanks in battle. Little, however, has appeared about the gunnery systems that are at their core. This book describes and examines the main gun systems of medium and heavy tanks from first use in 1916 in World War I to those fielded in numbers to the end of World War II in 1945, including tanks of the interwar period. Specifically considered are guns of a calibre greater than 35 mm, which have been deployed in numbers greater than 100. The emphasis is on guns mounted in turrets on heavier tracked armoured fighting vehicles (greater than 15 tonnes) which were considered tanks. There are, though, exceptions, in that the naval 6 pounder guns in First World War British tanks, as well as the 75 mm guns in French medium tanks of the same period (all turretless) are included. The treatment of gun systems includes sighting and fire control equipment, gun laying equipment, mounts and the array of munitions fired, as well as the actual gun, including its, barrel, cradle, breech, firing mechanism, sights and recoil system. Related to this are issues of gun handling (loading and unloading), ammunition design and rates of fire. Also examined are the maximum impulse and energy generated by firing some of the munitions available that must be absorbed by the gun recoil system.

    • Quantum Computing Secrets – The Ultimate Human Guide to Quantum Universe: Quantum Physics and Quantum Mechanics Supremacy Explained For Beginners And Their Impact on AI,…

      02

      Quantum computing is one of the most mind-bending and reality-warping technologies the world has ever seen. But most explanations of it are about as clear as the dingy basement a quantum computer has to live in.

      Don’t you wish someone could just explain quantum in plain English, using examples like burritos and cats driving spaceships? Maybe with a few jokes and pop culture references sprinkled in for good measure?

      Look no further friends, because that’s exactly what this book provides!

      Quantum Computing Secrets is the everyday person’s guide to understanding this crazy technology that promises to transform our world.

      Inside, you’ll learn:

      • ✨ What exactly a qubit is, and why their wild quantum properties like superposition and entanglement enable insane computational power
      • ✨ How quantum computers work at a basic level, from their intricate architecture to keeping them stable enough to churn through calculations
      • ✨ The key players racing to build these machines, from Google and IBM to upstarts like IonQ and Rigetti
      • ✨ The difference between a quantum computer and an old-fashioned calculator (hint: it’s like comparing a portal to alternate dimensions versus an abacus)
      • ✨ Applications for quantum across fields like chemistry, AI, cryptography and more – hello future!
      • ✨ All explained using simple analogies, engaging real-world examples, clarifying diagrams, and even the occasional meme for good measure

      Most quantum books try to blind you with fancy equations and technical jargon. But why should only physics PhD students get to learn about the most important computer breakthrough of our times?

      Quantum Computing Secrets makes this esoteric topic accessible for everyday folks by breaking everything down into digestible bites.

      With wit, humor, and geeky passion, this book finally makes understanding quantum feel achievable for anyone motivated to try. Time to give that brain a quantum upgrade!

      All around the world, something is happening to women when they fall asleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent…

      In the small town of Dooling, West Virginia, the virus is spreading through a women’s prison, affecting all the inmates except one. Soon, word spreads about the mysterious Evie, who seems able to sleep – and wake. Is she a medical anomaly or a demon to be slain?

      The abandoned men, left to their increasingly primal devices, are fighting each other, while Dooling’s Sheriff, Lila Norcross, is just fighting to stay awake.

      And the sleeping women are about to open their eyes to a new world altogether.

    • Inside Central Asia: A Political and Cultural History of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kergtzstan, Tajikstan, Turkey and Iran

      02
      The former Soviet republics of Central Asia comprise a sprawling, politically pivotal, densely populated, and richly cultured area of the world that is nonetheless poorly represented in libraries and mainstream media. Since their political incorporation in Stalin’s Soviet era, these countries have gone through a flash of political and economical evolution. But despite these rapid changes, the growth of oil wealth and U.S. jockeying, and the opening of the region to tourists and businessmen, the spirit of Central Asia has remained untouched at its core. In this comprehensive new treatment, renowned political writer and historian Dilip Hiro offers us a narrative that places the modern politics, peoples, and cultural background of this region firmly into the context of current international focus. Given the strategic location of Central Asia, its predominantly Muslim population, and its hydrocarbon and other valuable resources, it comes as no surprise that the five Central Asian republics are emerging in the twenty-first century as one of the most potentially influential-and coveted-patches of the globe.

      It has become a common theme in today’s world to talk about the incredible technological and economic development of modern China. However, there are very strong historical roots to the exponential growth of modern China going back thousands and thousands of years.

      Today, people stand in awe of China’s achievements, such as lifting hundreds of millions of people from poverty or becoming a global power. But have you ever wondered how the ancient people from the Far East developed so much while being virtually independent of other civilizations?

      Not everything in China’s history is tied to growth, improvement, and development. There were many periods riddled with internal strife, which plagued China and its numerous dynasties. However, the Chinese empires were somewhat shielded from external dangers, partially thanks to the ingeniousness of the Chinese and the famous Great Wall of China and partially thanks to the country’s geographic position.

      In this book, we look into how and why the historical pendulum of China sometimes turned one way and then the other.

      Discover the following about ancient China:

      • The deep, virtually unfathomable paleolithic roots of Chinese civilization;
      • Neolithic China and the formation of the Yellow River and Yangtze settlements;
      • The Age of Metal in China, a glorious but increasingly violent period that resulted in the emergence of the first hegemons in China;
      • The mythical Xia dynasty and its fantastic Yu the Great, credited with taming the Yellow River;
      • The birth of China’s fascinating writing system during the Shang dynasty;
      • The rise of the Zhou, who finally overthrew the Shang, thanks to their military prowess and ability to keep numerous Chinese states tied in a loose feudal system;
      • Confucius, the Chinese Socrates, who promoted peace, harmony, and wisdom;
      • The absolute dissolution of the Zhou state during the Warring States Period;
      • The formation of a ruthless yet efficient Qin Empire under the watchful eye of Qin Shi Huangdi;
      • The rebellion against the Qin and the final victory of Liu Bang and the Han dynasty;
      • And so much more!

    • Asia in Flanders Fields: Indians and Chinese on the Western Front, 1914 1920

      02
      The First World War brought peoples from five continents to support the British and French Allies on the Western Front. Many were from colonial territories in the British and French empires, and the largest contingents were Indians and Chinese – some 140,000. It is a story of the encounter with the European ‘other’, including the civilian European local populations, often marred by racism, discrimination and zenophobia both inside and outside the military command, but also lightened by moving and enduring ‘human’ social relationships. The vital contribution to the Alles and the huge sacrifices involved were scarcely recognised at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918 or the post-war victory celebrations and this led to resentment – see huge media coverage in 2021. The effect of the European ‘other’ experience enhanced Asian political awareness and self-confidence, and stimulated anti-imperialism and proto-nationalism. This is a vivid and original contribution to imperial decline from the First World War. and the originality of the work is enhanced by rare sources culled from original documents and ‘local’ European fieldwork – in French, German and Flemish.

    • Central Asia: A New History from the Imperial Conquests to the Present

      02

      A major history of Central Asia and how it has been shaped by modern world events

      Central Asia is often seen as a remote and inaccessible land on the peripheries of modern history. Encompassing Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and the Xinjiang province of China, it in fact stands at the crossroads of world events. Adeeb Khalid provides the first comprehensive history of Central Asia from the mid-eighteenth century to today, shedding light on the historical forces that have shaped the region under imperial and Communist rule.

      Predominantly Muslim with both nomadic and settled populations, the peoples of Central Asia came under Russian and Chinese rule after the 1700s. Khalid shows how foreign conquest knit Central Asians into global exchanges of goods and ideas and forged greater connections to the wider world. He explores how the Qing and Tsarist empires dealt with ethnic heterogeneity, and compares Soviet and Chinese Communist attempts at managing national and cultural difference. He highlights the deep interconnections between the “Russian” and “Chinese” parts of Central Asia that endure to this day, and demonstrates how Xinjiang remains an integral part of Central Asia despite its fraught and traumatic relationship with contemporary China.

      The essential history of one of the most diverse and culturally vibrant regions on the planet, this panoramic book reveals how Central Asia has been profoundly shaped by the forces of modernity, from colonialism and social revolution to nationalism, state-led modernization, and social engineering.

    • A History of East Asia: From the Origins of Civilization to the Twenty-First Century

      02
      Charles Holcombe begins by asking the question ‘what is East Asia?’ In the modern age, many of the features that made the region – now defined as including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam – distinct have been submerged by the effects of revolution, politics or globalization. Yet, as an ancient civilization, the region had both an historical and cultural coherence. This shared past is at the heart of this ambitious book, which traces the story of East Asia from the dawn of history to the twenty-first century. The second edition has been imaginatively revised and expanded to place emphasis on cross-cultural interactions and connections, both within East Asia and beyond, with new material on Vietnam and modern pop culture. The second edition also features a Chinese character list, additional maps and new illustrations.

    • Good Teams Win, Great Teams Cover: An Underdog’s Tale of Life, Gambling and Sharp Sports Betting

      02

      I will teach you how to win more bets, but first a story…

      I was hungover. I had spent the previous night in an Italian bar trying to convince naïve girls that I was Jason Sehorn of the New York Giants. This was my move. It wasn’t particularly effective, but it was the best I had…

      The next morning I found myself on a train going from Bologna to Rome. I was young, and this would be my first visit to the ancient city.

      As luck would have it, I was seated next to Evelyn O’Reilly. Evelyn was a stunning foreign exchange student from Dublin, and we hit if off.

      We hit if off so well that when she got to her stop in Florence she invited me to join her for the weekend. In a moment of sheer madness, I politely declined.

      I had the next few hours to contemplate what had just happened, and I became paralyzed by my own stupidity. What the hell was wrong with me? I had an amazing opportunity, but I was too damn dumb to realize it. This exquisite creature exited my life forever, only to revisit every now and again as a memory…

      This same scenario plays out EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND of the football season.

      Beautiful opportunities are out there, but most bettors can’t see them. They aren’t trained on what to look for, and when they finally do discover a gem, they are too scared to act.

      Taking advantage of situational opportunities is what separates the sharps from the stiffs.

      “Good Teams Win, Great Teams Cover” is a collection of betting advice that WILL make you a sharper sports bettor.

      My strategy of situational betting in college and pro football is a time-tested method for beating the sportsbook. I highlight over twenty situational opportunities where the bettor will gain an advantage over the house.

      Included are detailed examples from past football seasons which will allow the reader to gain a firm understanding of the concepts that can make your betting very profitable.

      I also mix in candid and embarrassing personal stories that makes this a highly entertaining read while providing valuable insight that will educate all levels of degenerate gamblers.

      If you are sick of praying for backdoor covers, if countless bad beats have made your betting life miserable, if you are reloading your gambling account way too often – then this book is for you.
