Book Description
1924. Scholar, poet, critic, United States Minister to Denmark and most delightful of companions, Maurice Francis Egan pours out his happiest moments of a rich life in this volume. Egan has great skill in drawing portraits of people, little sketches which are true to life and make you feel the person. He hates scandal, but loves good humored gossip. A joke is dear to him, even if it is on himself. This is a wonderful book of American reminiscences.

Book Description
Available November 2003 In essays with settings that range from the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, to the mountain town of Leadville, Colorado, to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, Trudy Dittmar weaves personal experience with diverse threads of subject matter to create unexpected connections between human nature and nature at large. Life stories, elegantly combined with mindful observations of animals, plants, landscape and the skies, theories in natural science, environmental considerations, and touches of art criticism and popular culture, offer insights into the linked analogies of nature and soul. A glacial pond teeming with salamanders in arrested development is cause for reflection on the limits of a life that knows only bounty. The hot blue lights of celestial phenomena are a metaphor for fast, flashy men—he loves of a life—and a romantic career is interpreted. Watching a pronghorn buck battling for, and ultimately losing, his harem leads to a meditation on a kind of immortality.
Fauna and Flora, Earth and Sky is testimony to the bearing and consequence of nature in one life, and to the richness of understanding it can bring to all human lives.

The Opal Desert: Explorations of the American Southwest
ASIN: 0801865050 |
Book Description
An ardent early suffragette, Edna Brush Perkins set out in 1920 with her friend, Charlotte Hannahs Jordan, to journey into the Mojave, both women seeking to escape civilization and their struggle to secure voting rights for women. The Mojave at that time was considered to be a desolate, inaccessible region--part of the fading American frontier. Originally published in 1922, The White Heart of Mojave is Perkins' account of this journey.
Perkins' evocative writing describes the landscape and the people she encounters. As editor Peter Wild writes, this is ultimately the story of two wealthy women who enter Death Valley "as a sort of middle-aged lark" and "emerge from the trip profoundly changed."
Customer Reviews:
A Fascinating Tale of Old Death Valley.......2004-05-07
The White Heart of Mojave is an old classic of desert literature, recently brought back into print as part of the American Land Classics series. Centered around an adventurous trip through Death Valley by two women in the 1920s, it gives a fascinating glimpse into the region and some of its eccentric inhabitants before it became a National Park and popular tourist destination. The book was written at a time when real American wilderness was beginning to disappear, and the deserts were first coming to be appreciated for their remoteness and solitude and austere beauty, rather than as simply wastelands to be exploited for mineral resources. Edna Brush Perkins, along with a few other desert pioneers like Mary Austen and John Van Dyke, was among the first to contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of the great American deserts. Aside from its historical significance, though, the book is well written and is sure to be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in this harsh but fascinating region.

Book Description
Those picking up a book filled with examples and discussions of laws regulating speech by advertising and public relations practitioners may be puzzled since the First Amendment clearly mandates freedom of speech or of the press. How can there be laws regulating any speech--let alone advertising or public relations--in the face of the Constitution's emphatic statement?
The first text to respond to the growing interest in law courses for those involved in advertising and public relations,
Advertising and Public Relations Law breaks new ground in each respective field. The book shows how many issues and ideas affect the regulation of advertising and public relations speech including:
*the categorization of different kinds of speech afforded different levels of First Amendment protection;
*court-created tests for laws and regulations of speech; and
*non content-based restrictions on speech and expression.
{Advertising and public relations students can no longer afford to escape training in law, as demonstrated by the increasing number of suits against advertisers, corporate communicators, and advertising and public relations agencies for copyright or trademark infringement, appropriation, and unfair and deceptive commercial speech. Clearly, anyone entering either field must be well-versed in the law.}
This text was written to serve the instructional needs of upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Also designed as a standard reference source for advertising and public relations practitioners, this clear, concise, comprehensive, and well-written and designed law text should prove an invaluable addition to their libraries.
Book Description
This exceptional new text offers an up-to-date and integrated approach to communication law. Written by two practicing attorneys with extensive experience teaching the communication law course, Law for Advertising, Broadcasting, Journalism, and Public Relations covers the areas of communication law essential and most relevant for readers throughout the communication curriculum. Its integrated approach will serve students and practitioners in advertising and public relations as well as those in journalism and electronic media.
Providing background to help readers understand legal concepts, this comprehensive communication law text includes an introduction to the legal system; covers legal procedures, structures, and jurisdictions; discusses the First Amendment and electronic media regulations; and considers issues of access. Additional material includes:
*intellectual property law;
*employment and agency law, with explanations of how these laws create obligations for mass communication professionals and their employees;
*commercial communication laws; and
*special laws and regulations that impact reporters, public relations practitioners, and advertisers who deal with stock sales.
Special features of this text include:
*Magic Words and Phrases--defining legal terms;
*Cases--illustrating key points in each chapter;
*Practice Notes--highlighting points of particular interest to professional media practices;
*Instructions on finding and briefing cases, with a sample brief; and
*Examples of legal documents and jury instructions.
This text is intended as an introduction to communication law for students and practitioners in mass communication, journalism, advertising, broadcasting, telecommunications, and public relations.
Book Description
This brief, supplemental text is intended for introductory courses in American government, or intermediate level courses on public policy, public administration, and administrative law. This new 6th edition is a now part of the Paul S. Herrnson (Editor) series Real Politics in America. Recognizing the centrality and complexity of modern bureaucracy public policy making, Smoking and Politics helps the reader understand why under our system of government tobacco is a legal and thriving industry despite the harms caused by using its products.
Customer Reviews:
Good Reference For Historical Politics Of Smoking.......2003-03-25
"Smoking and Politics," presents the mechanical bureaucratic and political moves that involve PACs, lobbyist firms, and constituents. There are ample amounts of administrative information that is important to explain what happened and why, but it can overwhelm some. However, it does reflect the complexities of the legislative process.
In recent years there have been many legislative and legalistic transformations since Fritschler began this book (first edition). This book is commonly read, studied, and dissected at some point in a public administration student's college stint. Compromising, steps forward and back, lobbying, and watershed legislation are presented here highlighting the individuals and organizations involved. (The who, what, how, why, and where.) It's what I call "Machiavellian bureaucratic implementation of policy." Those doing research into the historical politics of smoking, and/or the public policy process involving smoking in particular will get a lot of facts from this.
Good info, but disorganized.......1998-10-15
Federal policy with regard to tobacco has undergone substantial change over the past thirty years. Fritschler and Hoefler have regularly updated their book, to include these new changes. Unfortunately for them, the mid- to late-1990s has seen a whole new series of proposals, which means a two year old book is already somewhat out of date.
Also, with each new edition, they've tried to maintain the general organization of their earlier editions. This means the fifth edition tells a somewhat disjointed story. The book jumps repeated from the 1960s to the 1970s to the 1980s and 1990s, then back again. Often, this leaves the reader confused as to exactly *when* a particular change occurred.
The book's strongest point is that it clearly illustrates the importance of the bureaucracy in making [not just implementing] public policy. Many policy texts present the mistaken impression that Congress makes policy and the bureaucracy implements policy. Fritschler and Hoefler do policy students a great service by demonstrating the importance of the federal rulemaking process, and the ability of an activist bureaucracy to make or motivate substantial changes in federal policy.
Book Description
A practical guide to winning the public relations war in business
In The Court of Public Opinion is a lively and practical guide for anyone involved in high-stakes litigation. Given the increasingly litigious, media-saturated business environment, companies and high-profile individuals need protection-not just in the courthouses, but in the court of public opinion. Using examples from many of the most famous cases in the past several years,
In The Court of Public Opinion contains real-life strategies that CEOs, lawyers, and other executives can use when they find themselves in a high-profile lawsuit. James F. Haggerty, one of the nation's leading attorney/PR pros, offers advice on public relations strategies that will help businesses and individuals save their reputations as well as their livelihood.
James F. Haggerty (New York, NY) is an attorney and CEO of the PR Consulting Group in New York. He has been working with legal and litigation issues for more than fifteen years and has been involved in many high-profile legal disputes, including the Ronald Perelman/Patricia Duff divorce and the Screen Actors' Guild strike against the advertising industry. His writing on communications issues has appeared in The New York Times, the National Law Journal, and PR Week.
Customer Reviews:
it takes one to know one.......2003-05-20
Jim Haggerty's book is just what the doctor ordered for these post Enron, Andersen, Healthsouth days where corporate responsibility has become an oxymoron. As a practicing lawayer and public relations pro, Jim bridges the gap between what companies think they should say when a crisis occurs, what PR firms typically counsel their clients to say and what the law permits. This is MUST reading for anyone working in Corporate America today. And, it's fun reading for the casual reader. It makes for a grerat plane ride companion.
An incisive, informative and entertaining read.......2003-05-08
This work is a must-read for any executive with direct responsibility for shaping public perception of their company and any attorney who must navigate a court system that has, like it or not, become increasingly media-driven.
In The Court of Public Opinion features an engaging mix of real-world examples and solid communications strategy. Mr. Haggerty provides a clear and decisive action plan that can be adapted to almost any litigation situation, and offers examples of common mistakes that both attorneys and executives make in the face of media scrutiny. His style is engaging and entertaining, making the book a fun, fast read. Highly recommended!
Smart, Incisive Guide to "Media Age" Litigation.......2003-04-30
Haggerty's book is a 'must-read' for any professional concerned about protecting their business' hard-won reputation in the face of high profile litigation. The author's real-life case studies showcase many intriguing cases that were tried in the media prior to being tried in the courts! Through an engaging mix of case studies, analysis and personal stories, Haggerty provides insight into how media coverage is used as a powerful weapon in the litigator's arsenal, and practical advice on how to leverage public relations as part of your litigation strategy.
Perspective from a PR-Legal Pro.......2003-04-27
Jim Haggerty is an ace public relations professional and legal consultant. He successfully conveys in his new book the heightened role communications management plays in affecting the outcome of a litigation. Simply put, lawyers, business executives and even professional investors need to be more strategic about the communications aspects of legal disputes.
In the Court of Pubic Opinion provides much needed perspective into how thoughtful lawyers and their clients manage legal communications and media relations. Haggerty, who I have worked with closely, rightly suggests that outside and in-house attorneys representing either plaintiffs or defendants, who believe they can "finesse" the press without the necessary tools, may be allowing their egos to undermine their legal expertise. Court battles will never look the same after reading this accessible and often humorous book.
