The Dynamics of Law

Thoroughly revised and updated, this widely used text offers a concise introduction to the American legal system for students without a legal background. The book's coverage is cross-disciplinary, informed by the literature of law, business administration and the social sciences, especially public administration and policy. Its goal is to give non-lawyers in all these areas a lucid overview of the workings of the American legal system as it may affect individuals and organizations in their interactions with each other and the environment.Unlike longer, more expensive competing works, "The Dynamics of Law" presents its subject with clarity and precision, and minimal use of legal terms. It offers clear explanations of how to brief a case and how statutes and regulations are codified in the United States. Study problems and review questions in each chapter, drawn from legal literature as well as general interest articles and books, are designed to stimulate classroom discussion.

Energy Policy Analysis: A Conceptual Framework

Presented in nontechnical terms, this book offers a unique and powerful conceptual framework for analysis of energy technologies (standard and alternative) in terms of their respective dollar costs, environmental costs, and national security costs. Energy technologies examined include coal, nuclear, oil, natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass and biogas, energy conservation and efficiency, ocean power, hydrogen, electric power and transmission, and transportation. This three-point framework allows examination of issues and problems associated with implementation of U.S. energy policies in the context of major social goals (such as growth and equity), with treatment of conflicts and trade-offs between energy development and other social values (such as health and safety, cultural, historical, and aesthetic values). These are the key political issues for policy makers formulating national energy policy and decisions makers implementing it.

A teaching reference for faculty who want to develop or improve course offerings on nuclear weapons and arms control as part of an interdisciplinary curriculum geared toward undergraduates. The first chapter presents a survey of 75 university courses based on analysis of data gleaned from relevant syllabi up to mid-1987. It assesses the relative degrees of emphasis accorded to technological, political, and ethical issues in existing university course offerings. Findings concerning the frequency of team teaching, guest lectures, and the relationships between multidisciplinary teaching approaches and individual topics (e.g. nuclear ethics, the arms race, strategic doctrine, etc.) are also presented. The second chapter discusses the political science underpinnings of coursework on nuclear weapons and evaluates the extent to which political analysis can contribute to a better understanding of the arms race, arms control, and strategic doctrine. The third chapter looks at the challenges of teaching about nuclear weapons from the perspective of a sociologist, giving special emphasis to how the issues of value choice and cultural awareness can be factored into coursework. The fourth chapter presents a selected unannotated bibliography of over 800 required readings and films, compiled from the 75 syllabi studied in chapter 1. The list itself is broken down into 20 categories and the frequency with which individual texts and films are used is noted.
