Thomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation. Indeed, it was the monumental success of the original English translations that earned him the title of 'the greatest living man of letters' during his years in American exile (1938-52). This book provides the first systematic exploration of the English versions, illustrating the vicissitudes of literary translation through a principled discussion of a major author. The study illuminates the contexts in which the translations were produced before exploring the transformations Mann's work has undergone in the process of transfer. An exemplary analysis of selected textual dimensions demonstrates the multiplicity of factors which impinge upon literary translation, leading far beyond the traditional preoccupation with issues of equivalence. Thomas Mann in English thus fills a gap both in translation studies, where Thomas Mann serves as a constant but ill-defined point of reference, and in literary studies, which has focused increasingly on the author's wider reception.

Will the Amish survive the 21st Century? Are human sacrifices performed at the Serpent Mound? What is Thomas Jefferson's legacy in the state of Ohio? What was the Air Force looking for in the Ohio night skies? Where did the Shawnee call the place of the "devil winds"? Where does Sasquatch reside? What really matters most?    Did you think Ohio was boring and colorless?     All these questions are explored if not answered in Dave Horton's road trip through Ohio in the fall of 2009 that is now the book "Small Towns, Country Roads, Autumn Leaves and Other Points of Historical Interest."     Follow Dave as he guides you through some of the more obscure and lesser known sites and stories of his home state which covers the history of Ohio from the Devonian Age (400,000 million years ago) to the present (no kidding).      Says Gina Haber, noted acupuncturist, nutritionist, and native Cincinnatian, "I've never been a history reader but Dave's book is insightful, instructive and at times LOL funny."       Although this book is about Ohio, it has a reach far beyond and will be of interest to anyone who has fond thoughts of a home left behind.   The book also has many beautiful color photographs of the fall foliage. You haven't read anything like this, and you'll never look at Ohio in the same way again.

As its title implies, Essentials covers only the core legal doctrines and does so in a concise, straightforward format that focuses on practical application rather than theory. The organizational structure of each chapter facilitates student learning by providing: (1) a clear explanation of the doctrine in plain English, (2) an excerpt of relevant statutory authority where applicable, (3) an illustration of the doctrine through a carefully-selected judicial opinion, and (4) an application of the doctrine in a problem set. Each judicial opinion is followed by a series of questions, as well as narrative answers to each question. The problem sets, which are heavily emphasized, simulate the practice of law in a realistic T&amp;E setting. Key Features: <ul>
<li>Makes a challenging course uniquely accessible. Plain English explanation of legal doctrine at the beginning of each section helps ensures students have a basic foundation of substantive knowledge, allowing the professor to focus classroom discussion on applying the doctrine.</li> <li>Delivers well-edited judicial opinions in a format that allows students to achieve mastery of the materials before entering the classroom.</li> <li>Emphasizes problem-solving through detailed problem sets that allow students to apply newly learned legal doctrine to real-world situations.</li> <li>Offers concise, yet comprehensive coverage. All core Trusts &amp; Estates topics are covered in fewer than 650 pages.</li> </ul>

CasebookConnect offers you what you need most to be successful in your law school classes—portability, meaningful feedback, and greater efficiency. Cases, Problems, and Materials on Contracts is known for pioneering the problem method of law school teaching. A staple in classrooms for decades, it stands out from other texts in the scope of its coverage and its use of short, carefully-constructed Problems to expose students to new concepts, reinforce what they have just learned, and stimulate thought. The Eighth Edition, the first since the passing of Thomas Crandall and the addition of David Horton as co-author, is more accessible than ever. It introduces complicated issues with a clear narrative summary or explicit statement of black-letter law. The cases have been tightly edited for best effect. The book can also be easily adapted to fit various pedagogical needs. Although it starts with “Agreement” and moves to “Consideration,” it is also designed for teachers who prefer to begin with “Consideration” or “Remedies.” It can be used in courses that both include and exclude sales. Finally, because it is shorter than most other texts in this field, it works in 4-unit, 5-unit, and 6-unit courses. New to the Eighth Edition: <ul>
<li>Substantial input from a new co-author means that the book contains scores of new cases, Problems, and narrative introductions to issues.</li> <li>Each opinion has been streamlined to enhance readability.</li> <li>Where possible, applicable Restatement of Contracts and Uniform Commercial Code sections have been printed in the text, saving students the cost of buying separate supplements.</li> </ul>
Professors and students will benefit from: <ul>
<li>Coverage of the basics of Contracts Law in a format that allows greater exposure to the legal concepts through the many Problems that fill each chapter alongside the most illustrative cases on point</li> <li>Assessment multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter that are meatier than such questions in most books, focusing not on the “right answer” so much as on what real attorneys must consider when confronted with the issues presented</li> <li>The entire book’s approach not just to teach rules of law but to train students to be lawyers faced with commercial issues. For example, Problems sometimes ask students whether they would be committing malpractice if they took a certain course of conduct, an issue very much on the mind of actual attorneys but seldom mentioned in law school classrooms.</li> </ul>
