Summary

Legislative Intent explores how laws are interpreted and applied, focusing on legislative history, judicial precedent, and statutory language. The book examines how laws evolve from abstract concepts into concrete regulations, crucial for legal professionals and anyone interested in politics. It emphasizes that understanding the original intentions of lawmakers, as reflected in legislative history, alongside the framework established by judicial precedent, is vital for navigating regulatory applications.

 
The book argues for a holistic approach to statutory interpretation, balancing legislative history, judicial precedent, and statutory language to achieve a just outcome. This approach acknowledges that laws are not static but reflect societal values and evolving understandings. For example, shifts in societal values and evolving judicial philosophies can significantly alter how a statute is understood over time.

 
The book progresses by introducing fundamental concepts of statutory interpretation, then delving into techniques for analyzing legislative history and examining landmark court cases. This academic work offers a unique perspective by emphasizing the interconnectedness of these elements, moving beyond a purely textualist approach. It is intended for law students, legal professionals, and policymakers, providing valuable insights for navigating the legal system. The analysis relies on primary legislative documents, court opinions, and scholarly articles, making it a well-researched resource for those interested in academic and political aspects of law.

    Capitalizing on College - How...

    In Capitalizing on College Joshua Brown illustrates how tuition-driven colleges and universities have been forced to innovate and adopt market-driven financial strategies. These institutions have longstanding commitments to offering access and opportunity to marginalized students, but the promise of improved educational outcomes stemming from federal policy changes aimed at increasing market competition never materialized. Instead competition for tuition dollars meant these colleges had to adopt new strategies to find more students to offset losses.Capitalizing on College reveals how three of the strategies these schools adopted were initially successful but ultimately fell short in raising enough revenue to support operating a residential campus. Only a fourth accelerated strategy of going to scale raised the necessary funds—but at the cost of undercutting their mission by leading them to view students as dollars.Capitalizing on College reveals the untold story of the missing middle. It shows how the unanticipated consequences of federal policy changes have ultimately distorted the values of mission-driven schools. Capitalizing on College offers a timely and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the changes shaking higher education and what the future holds for colleges and universities in this new financial climate.

    From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
     
     
     
    In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.

    Understanding how right-brain and left-brain differences influence our habits, thoughts, and actions. 
     
     
     
    Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics? 
     
     
     
    Side Effects delves into how lateral biases in our brains influence our everyday behavior, and how being aware of these biases can be to our advantage.
