The confluence of new ways of thinking about law with rapid technological change has led to an outpouring of fascinating literature about copyright. This Anthology contains material dealing with both prongs of recent thought about intellectual property. The first Part explores some of the new critical literature derived from theories about literature, economics, and law. As a body, the work reproduced here explores most of the central tenets of copyright law – the meaning of authorship, the nature of a copyrighted work, the contours of the idea-expression dichotomy, and the significance of originality. The rest of the Anthology explores more discrete areas of copyright law, using writings that discuss the ways in which technology may have an impact on the development of legal concepts.

A Property Anthology

Business

Anderson Publishing

This casebook raises interesting and challenging problems concerning the development of property law. Property concepts are introduced through cutting edge issues, such as intellectual property, rights of publicity, and ownership rights in the human body. Historical dimensions are presented through discussions of laws which formerly excluded certain individuals from most forms of ownership and property control, such as Native Americans, African Americans, and women. The text covers traditional topics: estates in land, landlord and tenant laws, transfers of property, private land use controls, and constitutional limitations on public land use controls. 
Most chapters are preceded by a concise summary of legal doctrines or common themes covered in the chapter. Explanatory Notes provide extensive explanations of cases and rules; they clarify complicated opinions with background information regarding the circumstances giving rise to the proceedings. Problems and Problem Notes take students beyond the realm of settled rules to generate analysis of the purpose behind the rules. This book also points students to relevant secondary sources for a broader understanding of property law.

Gendered Law in American History is a remarkable compendium of over thirty years of research and teaching in the field. It explores an array of social, cultural, and legal arenas from the turn of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth centuries, including concepts of citizenship at the founding of the republic, the development of married women's property laws, divorce, child custody, temperance, suffrage, domestic and racial violence before and after the Civil War, protective labor legislation, and the use of legal history testimony in legal disputes. It is both an invaluable reference tool and an important new teaching text.
