Product Description
In the 1850s, Congress authorized and funded five railroad surveys to determine the most practical route for a transcontinental railroad through the western frontier. The northernmost survey, headed by Maj. Isaac Stevens, was the most successful, both scientifically and geographically. Along with the data assembled by numerous scientists and surveyors was the work of two artists, John Mix Stanley and Gustavus Sohon. Their illustrations graphically documented the physical and cultural geography of the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, with a particular eye for Native American life. Eye of the Explorer: Views of the Northern Pacific Railroad Survey reproduces all seventy of the lithographs that appeared with Stevens s final congressional report, published in 1860, as well as twelve of the lovely watercolor images from which the final prints were prepared.
These views depict landscapes of undisturbed wilderness, scenes from the explorers journey, and glimpses of settlements in the initial throes of development. The accompanying text tells the story of the survey party s adventures, struggles, and day-to-day activities, and describes each image s historical, geographical, and geological importance. Liberally scattered throughout are quotations from the report. Dozens of detailed maps, illustrations, and historical photos further illuminate this engaging history. ... Read more

A captivatingly original contribution to art, railroad, or natural history shelves, and highly recommended
Eye of the Explorer: Views of the Northern Pacific Railroad Survey, 1853-54 is a compendium of lithographs (and six of the fine prints) originally painted by John Mix Stanley and Gustavus Sohon in 1853-54, as part of a survey led by Major Isaac Stevens in search of a northern transcontinental railroad route. All of the superbly reproduced, color images are strikingly beautiful, revealing glimpses of vast tracts of untamed land. The text of Eye of the Explorer also recounts the story of the expedition - its discoveries, challenges, encounters, and modern evaluations of the expedition's contributions to history and science. A breathtakingly beautiful coffee table book, Eye of the Explorer is a captivatingly original contribution to art, railroad, or natural history shelves, and highly recommended.

A must-have
This was a wonderful purchase. The information was very accessable and to-the-point. A good nuts-and-bolts resource for common evidentiary issues. A handy tool for busy attorneys. I wish I would have bought this the day I was given my law license.

Highly recommended.

Before Every Trial...
Before and during every trial, I refer to this book. It lays out the elements necessary to lay a foundation of mostly any type of evidence and lays out the questions necessary to establish that foundation. It serves as a terrific checklist, not only to learn the rules in law school, but to use them in the courtroom. An absolute must have.

I also recommend Thomas Mauet's Fundamentals of Trial Techniques.

It is lacking in the foundation for more current evidence -- e.g., emails, web pages, etc. ... Read more

Product Description
One of the central concepts in Buddhism is the idea of Kamma. Although the importance of Karma in Buddhist thought is regularly recognized, the question remains whether the Buddhist understanding of the principle of Karma has been inalterably fixed, or whether it has undergone a process of development and modification during the course of Buddhist history. If, indeed, the Buddhist understanding of Karma has not been static, what kinds of development has it undergone? It is to these questions that this study has been text-critical and historical.The initial Buddhist formulation of the principle of Kamma as it is depicted in the Vinaya and the Sutta Pitakas is analyzed as a base for the study.

Modifications are noted as already present in the later strata of this literature. The problem is then examined in the Abhidhamma Pitaka, where certain abstract developments in the definition and categorization of Kamma are discovered. In order to provide a greater chronological scope, the text then turns to an analysis of Kamma in the milindapanha. Finally, the Abhidharmakosa of Vasubandhu is considered. A new concern with the mechanism of Karmic retribution becomes evident in the Abhidharmakosa.

The modifications which the concept of karma is found to have undergone roughly speaking are of two broad types. First, there were popular folk developments which were accepted only reluctantly, if at all, in more scholarly circles. Then there were the more scholastic developments in the direction of greater precision of definition and refinement of categories. In the same vein, a growing scholarly concern for specific implications of the more general principle of karma is also noted. ... Read more

Excerpt:Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) John McDermott (born 3 February 1969 in Middlesbrough) is a former English footballer. McDermott, who is a right-back, has played his entire career at Grimsby Town, and holds the club's all-time appearance record, having played 647 league games, 754 games overall for the Mariners. He is one of only 17 players in the history of English football to play more than 600 Football League matches for a single club. Grimsby Town FC and the Grimsby Telegraph newspaper are running a campaign for McDermott to be awarded an MBE; the Telegraph is hosting an online petition. He was released at apprentice level. However, when the apprenticeship scheme was revamped he was re-signed as a trainee at Grimsby Town and after 13 appearances in the second division he signed professional terms. At the start of Macca's career he was a utility player but then established himself as a regular right-back for the Mariners. Over the decades he was seen by many as a consistent performer as he won Grimsby Town 'Player of the Year' a record three times. In 1994 McDermott suffered an injury and was injured for nine months. He regained his place in the team in 1996 and was quickly becoming one of the most respected defenders outside the Premier League and was linked with moves to Sunderland AFC and Ipswich Town but did not leave his beloved Grimsby Town. McDermott has experienced it all after around ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2691087 ... Read more
