Book Review Of Hacking: The Next Generation (Written By Nitesh Dhanjani, Billy Rios & Brett Hardin), Katina Michael

Professor Katina Michael

Hacking: The Next Generation demonstrates just how hackers continue to exploit “back doors”. New ways of working and new ways of communicating have meant that the number of attack vectors continue to rise rapidly. This provides hackers with a greater number of opportunities to penetrate systems using blended approaches while organizations struggle to come up to speed with the latest technology developments and commensurate security capabilities. Dealing with anticipated threats is a lot harder than dealing with known threats.

Medical Malpractice (Book Review), Robert B. Leflar

Robert B Leflar

This is a review of Medical Malpractice, by Frank Sloan and Lindsey Chepke. This superb book provides a balanced, comprehensive, factual overview of the structure, flaws, and merits of the U.S. legal system relating to malpractice; the causes of cyclical insurance pricing and availability difficulties; ameliorative initiatives both implemented and proposed; and the political considerations affecting the achievability of leading reform proposals. The authors' evidence-based stances will discommode many participants in the malpractice debate, physicians and trial lawyers alike. The book debunks widely-held "myths of medical malpractice" propounded by medical tort reformers. However, the authors also conclude that "no convincing …

The Financial Crisis And The Future Of Law And Economics, Wladimir D. Kraus

Wladimir D. Kraus

A Failure of Capitalism is a multifaceted contribution to our understanding of the Great Recession. But, due to its overwhelmingly macroeconomic character and substance, the nuanced approach of the law and economics scholarship is virtually absent, and so is any plausible explanation of the financial crisis that touched off the great recession. This is puzzling, because attention to the economic consequences of the law seems to provide a much more powerful framework for understanding what caused the financial collapse, and it is a natural approach for scholars of law and economics to pursue.

Review Of "Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind The Nanotechnology Buzz", Michele L. Mekel

Michele L Mekel

The hype - both positive and negative - surrounding nanotechnology dwarfs its industry and its present panoply of products. No pun is intended by this statement, nor is it meant as a slight to the field. This phenomenon of nanotechnology hype is laid out in clever prose and in well-footnoted detail by David Berube, professor of communication studies in the Department of English at the University of South Carolina, in his book, "Nano-hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz."

Building The Emotionally Learned Negotiator, Erin Ryan

Erin Ryan

This essay reviews three recent books on the significance of emotion in negotiation and dispute resolution (Fisher & Shapiro: BEYOND REASON: USING EMOTIONS AS YOU NEGOTIATE; Peter Ladd: MEDIATION, CONCILIATION AND EMOTION: A PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE FOR UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION; and Lacey Smith: GET IT! STREET-SMART NEGOTIATION AT WORK: HOW EMOTIONS GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT), situating each work within a theory of practice for emotionally learned negotiators. After discussing the how the appearance of emotional sterility became synonymous with “professionalism” (and the toll this has taken on professional interaction), the piece sets forth a functional theory of emotion …

The Tales Of White Folk: Doctrine, Narrative, And The Reconstruction Of Racial Reality, Robert L. Hayman, Nancy A. Levit

Nancy Levit

Black America, some people said, was dying. And they wondered what they would hear in the souls of white folk when white America heard the news.

Part of the story was told in June 1995, by the Supreme Court. The session of the Court had not been convened explicitly or exclusively to determine the fate of black America. Still, it was clearly on the agenda, with no less than three major race-related disputes on the High Court's docket.

And what the Court had to say on such matters did matter. As the highest tribunal in the land, it possessed the …
