The book itself apart from a trace of foxing to the top of the text block shows no damage. ". "This work attempts to distinguish in general terms the ironical from the non-ironical. It summarises the history of the concept of irony from the first appearance of the word " EIRONEIA" in Plato to the present day. It isolates and discusses five "basic features" of irony: the element of "confluent unawareness" the contrast of reality and appearance the comic element the element of detachment and the aesthetic element. It distinguishes carefully the two main types of irony: verbal or behavioural irony and situational irony." -- Front fold over blurb. Size: 12mo Small Hardcover.

Slight starting to separate page block in middle of table of contents pages. "A worthy companion to The Oxford Book of English Verse this anthology covers in 571 selections the whole range of American poetry from colonial times; more than half of it is devoted to the best work of the period from 1900 to 1950. Fifty-one poets represented - deliberately fewer than in most anthologies so that sufficient space can be devoted to each poet to afford a real understanding of his or her work. More recent and less well-known poets are represented wherever possible by works of some length rather than by a scattering of short poems. Brief biographical notes at the end enable the reader to know in what volume of the poet's work each poem originally appeared.": 5 x 7.25 in.: 1132 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

"In this book Greenawalt explores the three-way relationship between the idea of freedom of speech the law of crimes and the many uses of language. He begins by considering free speech as a political principle and after a thorough and incisive analysis of the justifications commonly advanced for freedom of speech looks at the kinds of communications to which the principle of free speech applies. He then turns to an examination of communications for which criminal liability is fixed. Focusing on threats and solicitations to crime Greenawalt attempts to determine whether liability for such communications seriously conflicts with freedom of speech. In the second half of the book he goes on to develop the significance of his conclusions for American constitutional law addressing such questions as what should be considered "speech" within the meaning of the First Amendment and what tests the courts should employ in deciding whether particular criminal statutes should be held constitutional. He concludes that the issues are too complex to yield simple solutions and insists that the protection of the First Amendment can be reduced neither to one justification nor to one all-purpose test of coverage.

Klein Barry T.
Reference Encyclopedia Of The American Indian 11th Edition
Millwood New York: Todd Publications. Very Good. 2004. Eleventh Edition. Soft Cover. 0915344777 . 005426: Scarce Out Of Print Book. Copy's covers and pages are bright clean tightly bound and sharp cornered. It does have Library stamp inside label on spine some dark marks on covers under plastic covering and title page has been neatly removed. Editorial Review by From Library Journal: "Klein's editions of the Reference Encyclopedia have been the major source for listings of information on American Indian and Alaska Native groups for more than a decade. The first section of the book contains the source listings presenting names addresses and often leaders of the tribal organizations both federal and other across the United States. The resource provides similar information for Canada. The second section is the bibliography which contains citations for 4500 in-print titles. Separate lists by subject follow and there is also a listing of publishers of Indian titles. The Directory has an excellent index but does not include biographical information. Biennial editions are planned. Surprisingly these two reference titles do not always list the same organizations and programs in similar categories. Tribal entries tend to be similar though the exclusion of nonfederally recognized groups is a serious omission in the directory. While Klein's encyclopedia entries in other areas have been gleaned from years of compilation the Directory has extracted information from a variety of existing reference publications as well as some original research. Putting this information in one place is certainly a contribution though the compilers need to dig further to include organizations neglected by major reference sources. Because of the disparity of the information included in these publications libraries with serious collections on Native Americans will want both. ": Ex-Library: 8.25 x 10.75 in.: 777 pages .
