Greenawalt Kent
Speech Crime And The Uses Of Language
Cary North Carolina: Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good Dust Jacket. 1989. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0195057996 . 006438: Printing Number Line 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 . Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Top edge of dustjacket has small stain on inside. Scarce Out Of Print Book. "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 .

Scarce Out Of Print Book. Here we discover not only the origin and history of many of our most delightful words but also the changing cultural conditions that produced them. With chapters on Americanisms cyberspace advertising fighting words fitness geography economics sex crime gender generation gaps and many other subjects Speaking Freely covers the whole spectrum of language in America from the Pilgrims to the present. In the chapter on American's love affair with booze for instance we have a rollicking history of all the delectable words we've devised to describe the condition of drunkenness and its insalubrious effects. If for example you were to find yourself frequently groggified half-shaved full as a fiddler's fart balmy owly-eyed pifflicated comboozelated tanglefooted ossified petrified snockered or wazzocked you would often suffer the jim-jams the jitters the heebie-jeebies or the screaming meamies the next day and would eventually come to be seen as an elbow-bender a guzzler a rumhead swiller or tosspot. Speaking Freely also explains the droves of new expressions entering our vocabularies. With over 400 illustrations and a generous offering of quotations from Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain to Susan B. Anthony Elizabeth Hardwick and many others Speaking Freely takes the lid off the American language and shows us where it is where it's been and why it's ours. ": 8.75 x 11.25 in.: 472 pages .
