  This is a summary book for four separate books. They are not the original books. It is meant as a companion book, not a replacement. 
  The 2020 election is as much about the Supreme Court as it is about Trump. Senator Ted Cruz, a former state attorney general for Texas, is fully acquainted with how the Supreme Court works and its colorful history. One justice--one vote-- can change a nation by overriding the Constitution. Nothing less than our freedoms are at stake should a liberal judge become a new addition to the court, a strategy put in play by the Left since the 1960s. Cruz served as a Supreme Court clerk and litigated the court numerous times with success.  
  Candace Owens decided to take a close look at how the Democrats had "organized" Black communities for "change" that meant "control," "constrain," and "harm." The Democrat efforts were aimed to prevent Blacks from conquering the challenges of poverty. Black success meant less power for the Democrats. Taking a right turn in political identity will lead to a healthier, happier, more independent, and more successful life.  
  Be aware that you and your family will always live under constant attack by socialists. Sean Hannity will tell you why in Live Free or Die. Leftwing resentment, radicalism, and elaborate plans for theft and graft grew in the shadows to undermine democracy beginning in the turbulent 1960s. They comprise a formidable army of social justice warriors aided and abetted by such institutions as academia, the mainstream media, and the diabolical Deep State. 
  Dinesh D'Sousa writes to expose the Democrat socialists, their "Socialist Dream" for what a "racket" it is and then proceeds to bury them. He shares how the socialists first arose, how their deceitful techniques are infused with a divisive and antagonistic form of "Identity Socialism," and how we must rally behind Trump's lead to stop them.

  “It takes true brilliance to lift the arid tellings of lexicographic fussing into the readable realm of the thriller and the bodice-ripper….David Skinner has done precisely this, taking a fine story and honing it to popular perfection.”—Simon Winchester, New York Times bestselling author of The Professor and the MadmanThe Story of Ain’t by David Skinner is the captivating true chronicle of the creation of Merriam Webster’s Third New International Dictionary in 1961, the most controversial dictionary ever published.

  Introduction to Intellectual...

  AN INTRODUCTION TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 
  Intellectual Property is a subject of recent origin. 
  We own houses, jewels, shares, money in the form of cash etc. These are the things we know as 'Properties'. These are tangible assets. We enjoy them as we own them. Unless and until we offer them to somebody else, these things which we own cannot be taken away and enjoyed by others.  
  'Intellectual Property', on the other hand, refers to the ownership of intangible and non-physical goods. It results from the expression of an idea. It is the property of your mind or a proprietary knowledge. Since it is the property of your mind, the moment it is divulged, the benefits arising from these ideas can be enjoyed by others. The concept of Intellectual property, therefore, provides that certain products of human intellect should be given the same protective rights that apply to physical properties. This is known as Intellectual Property Rights. It refers to the ownership of intangible and non-physical goods. It includes Copyright, Related Rights, Patents, Trademarks, Industrial Design and Geographical Indications. 
  Since intellectual properties are intangible, it is more difficult to protect them than other types of properties. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) helps to encourage and protect inventors and creators by giving them exclusive rights over their work for a set period of time. This book gives a brief introduction to the concept of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and the various components of IPR. It will be a useful book to the student community as well as the public at large. 
  It was published in the year 2014. It is available as an e-book with leading booksellers. The author may be contacted at venkalp74@gmail.com in case printed copies of the book are needed.

  Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in social psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity, the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are."Who am I?" It's a question that most all humans have grappled with at some point or another. This book seeks to answer this question through relatable examples that show how psychological theory can be applied to our own lives. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us, and the groups that we belong to, affect who we are. Finally, these ideas are considered in the context of real-world phenomena and behaviors; for instance, how we use language, conflict between groups, and social influence.This book is an ideal introduction for students of social psychology and related fields. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to gain social psychological insight into who they are and how others got them there.

  The Transatlantic Constitution -...

  “One of the more significant recent pieces of scholarship in this area . . . essential reading for all students of early America.” —Journal of American History  
   
  Departing from traditional approaches to colonial legal history, Mary Sarah Bilder argues that American law and legal culture developed within the framework of an evolving, unwritten transatlantic constitution that lawyers, legislators, and litigants on both sides of the Atlantic understood. The central tenet of this constitution—that colonial laws and customs could not be repugnant to the laws of England but could diverge for local circumstances—shaped the legal development of the colonial world. 
   
  Focusing on practices rather than doctrines, Bilder describes how the pragmatic and flexible conversation about this constitution shaped colonial law: the development of the legal profession; the place of English law in the colonies; the existence of equity courts and legislative equitable relief; property rights for women and inheritance laws; commercial law and currency reform; and laws governing religious establishment. Using as a case study the corporate colony of Rhode Island, which had the largest number of appeals of any mainland colony to the English Privy Council, she reconstructs a largely unknown world of pre-Constitutional legal culture. 
   
  “The book is rich in social history as well, with the evolving status of women and institutional religion providing much of the legal grist.” —Choice
