Editorial Review:

Even though grade-school teachers have told us otherwise for years, you can copy other people's creative work and get away with it. How? By dipping into the public domain, where everything is free for the taking.

The first book of its kind, The Public Domain is the definitive guide to the creative works that are not protected by copyright and can be copied freely or otherwise used without paying permission fees.

The book explains step-by-step how to recognize when a work is in the public domain. Chapters cover:

* writings
* music
* art
* architecture
* maps
* choreography
* photography
* film and video
* computer software and databases

The book also lists hundreds of resources, such as websites, libraries and archives, useful for locating public domain works.

Destined to become a classic reference guide, The Public Domain is indispensable for anyone who deals with creative works, including publishers, web developers, writers, musicians and composers, artists, librarians, photographers and filmmakers.

Decent Book, but has many flaws 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a decent law school text book. While it does give a good overall summary of the current trends in family law, the book is filled with notes that really have no relevancy in any way to the cases you have read. Also the comments sections devoted to law reviews feel like they were forced in to add pages as these comments usually add nothing to the section in which you are studying

Editorial Review:

The 6th edition of this popular and manageably sized casebook retains the structure of the 5th edition and its emphasis on practical skills and contextual analysis. New cases, statutes, and notes reflect judicial and legislative developments across the country. The new edition includes materials on the 2005 amendments to the bankruptcy code and two new uniform laws. It also integrates the Supreme Court's recent privacy cases, including Lawrence v. Texas, with traditional family-privacy materials. Updated notes and additional problems test a wide range of skills and introduce students to practical aspects of family law.

Editorial Review:

The first book to explore--in one volume--the causes, consequences, and prevalence of domestic violence and the positive law enforcement response. Using a socio-legal approach--with emphasis on the practical criminal justice perspective--it offers a contemporary view of the criminal justice experience with diverse forms of domestic violence and populations: violence against women; dating violence; sibling abuse; rape and incest; child and elder abuse and neglect; male battering; lesbian and gay violence; specific issues affecting African Americans and American Indians. Balanced and thorough, it exposes the myths about both victims and offenders, showing how women and men, the elderly and children, heterosexuals and homosexuals all can be perpetrators and victims as well. Explores in depth questions such as: What is domestic violence? Why does it happen and what are the consequences? Who are the offenders and who are the victims? What legislation exists relative to family violence? How does the court and law enforcement respond? How to you get help? What resources are available? For professionals in criminal justice, law enforcement, social work, counseling, education, etc., and for anyone wishing to be better, more thoroughly informed on this important issue.

Very Useful and Informative 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I presently use this book as a text for a course for Imaging Systems students. They have found it easy to read and informative. While it dwells on the legal aspects quite heavily, it still delves into the personal aspects of ethical issues which might be encountered by imaging professionals.

Editorial Review:

Allen Memorial Hospital, Waterloo, IA. Textbook for radiation therapists presenting a balanced coverage of both ethical and legal issues in practice. Each chapter applies issues to real-life situations. Includes: imaging scenarios, critical thinking questions and activities, case studies, chapter outlines, review questions, and key terms.

Beware! Does not deliver what it promises- unless you pay more!!! 2 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

The information in this book seems correct as far as it goes. But the book's subtitle says "All you need to know about limited liability companies." Turns out, though, that to get "all you need to know" you have to buy one or several of their other books, depending on how much of "all" you expected to get! For instance, on page 6/18 (3rd edition) the book directs you to purchase one of their other publications to get information on how to operate your LLC. I could accept this if the cover of the book said "volume 1" or "companion volume to..." but it says "All you need..." For a fairly scant $30 paperback to promise all, then direct me to buy another $30 paperback, is IMHO, a broken promise and a lie.

Editorial Review:

If you are wondering whether or not a limited liability company is right for you, Nolo's Quick LLC is the book to grab.

Written by LLC expert Attorney Anthony Mancuso, this book shows you, in plain English, the advantages and drawbacks of forming an LLC, and how the LLC compares with running a business as a corporation, partnership or sole proprietorship.It explains:

*how LLCs are formed by filing Articles of Organization with the state

*the Operating Agreement, which details the legal rights and responsibilities of LLC members and managers

*how you can choose between a member-run or manager-run LLC

*important tax options that qualify an LLC for partnership tax treatment -- an essential benefit of forming an LLC

*the required ongoing legal and tax paperwork

Practical, concise and easy to read, the 2nd edition of Nolo's Quick LLC provides vital; and the latest; information you need to know about this valuable business option.
