History Proved Him Right 5 out of 5 stars.
27 of 27 people found this review helpful.

It's funny how some negative reviews of this book spoke about how wrong Greider was and how right corporate superheros like Jack Welch were. Now in 2003 as America struggles to rebuild after the savage [things] that these corporate overlords have done (Enron? Worldcom? Global Crossing?) we see just how accurate Greider's predications were. The men who rose to power in the 1990's didn't get there because they loved all humanity, they got there because they wanted power above all else. It wasn't the job or the love for their products, it was for money. If they had to fire tens of thouands of people, if they had to bankrupt the company, that was fine. THEY got to keep their millions in the form of Golden Parachutes. History has now born this simple truth out. Power doesn't neccesarilly corrupt, but absolutely corrupt people seek power at any cost.

Editorial Review:

The author of Secrets of the Temple describes the reality of how Washington really makes decisions, revealing that the government by and for the many has become a government by and for the few. 50,000 first printing. National ad/promo. TV tie-in. Tour.

Not very good, but the only thing out there 2 out of 5 stars.
13 of 15 people found this review helpful.

This book, like most of the other nutshells I've read, is not particularly helpful. The organization is confusing, and not enough attention is devoted to major topics, as the format is primarily just a recitation of cases. A study guide is supposed to provide a concise synopsis of the law, not merely throw a bunch of conflicting cases at the reader. Steven Emanuel has the market for law school study aides cornered, with the Examples & Explanations series a distant second. Unfortunately, this is the only major study guide that exists for employment law. Thanks to Rothstein's worthless and maddening casebook, learning employment law is neither interesting nor fun. This nutshell will provide some relief, but not much.

Different viewpoints 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 62 people found this review helpful.

There was once a boss and an employee. They both saw things from a different viewpoint and from the vision of their own eyes both were entitled to their own opinions and neither was to blame for the differing viewpoints.

Editorial Review:

Provides an overview of individual employee rights. Expert authors focus on the problem areas, such as employee safety and privacy, discrimination, termination of employment, and pensions.

Good General Summary of EU Law Principles 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book provided a concise overview of the principles of EU Law. Well-written and easy to understand, it covered the most important aspects of the topic. The only criticism I have is that it did not provide a great deal of detail on the seminal cases, merely mentioning the name and the principle therein.

Editorial Review:

Folsom's European Union Law analyzes critical developments and emphasizes the external impact of European law. Contents summarize the history and growth of the European Union and lawmaking in Europe. Explores litigating European law, free movement, and internal policies. Also discusses external trade law and business competition law.
