Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In this comprehensive and engaging book, we explore the fascinating history of contract law in the United States, from its roots in the common law to its current state as a complex and sophisticated body of law. We also examine the vital role that contract law has played in shaping American society, from the abolition of slavery to the rise of industrial capitalism to the civil rights movement.

We begin by considering the fundamental nature of contract law itself. What is a contract? What are the essential elements of a valid contract? How are contracts formed, interpreted, and enforced? We then turn our attention to the specific types of contracts that are most common in our society, such as employment contracts, marriage contracts, and sales contracts.

We also delve into the role that contract law has played in addressing some of the most pressing social issues of our time, such as discrimination, consumer protection, and environmental protection. We see how contract law has been used to promote equality, protect consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices, and reduce pollution and other forms of environmental degradation.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the role that contract law plays in our society. It is also a valuable resource for lawyers, judges, and policymakers who are involved in the development and enforcement of contract law.

With its clear and accessible writing style, this book is perfect for students, scholars, and general readers alike. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the foundations of American law and its impact on our society.

Healing Hearts and Minds - A...

LCSW Tracy Livecchi, PhD Liza...

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
 
 
 
Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.

Unstoppable Brain

Kyra Bobinet

We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame. 
It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.
