I have spent my life at sea. So did my son........2003-05-24
Deaths, accidents and collisions and sinkings at sea are not viewed by U.S. Courts with laws that confine the everyday civil, criminal, commercial, or real estate business of this country. Like the sea itself, U.S. Maritime Law is a collection of interconnected forces that one must navigate to pass.
Thomas J. Schonenbaum helped my family understand and navigate the legal proceedings after my son's death at sea.
Pocket Part not included.......2002-10-23
Customers should be aware that the Pocket Part used to bring this volume current is not included in the sale. You would be better off ordering this book directly from the publisher, West Group, if you want a law book that is current, at no additional cost, at the time of sale.
The definitive Hornbook on maritime law.......1999-03-18
Schoenbaum's Hornbook on Admiralty is indispensable from the point of view of this maritime practitioner. It is much better than the other Hornbook available - and so far beyond other guides that it's not even worth looking at anything else. If you need a sound reference on such an esoteric subject, this is the one to get.
The must have maritime law source!.......1998-12-08
Have a maritime matter come across your desk? Where to begin research into a pesky and ancient area of rather arcane law? Schoenbaum is IT. Cites cases, statutes, and explains basic admiralty law very well, so that the admiralty virgin will have no problem figuring out why there is no jury, how a ship can be arrested, and what the heck general average is all about.
Book Description
Parsons, Theophilus. A Treatise on Maritime Law: Including the Law of Shipping, the Law of Marine Insurance, and the Law and Practice of Admiralty. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1859. Two volumes. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2003052779. ISBN 1- 58477-368-5. Cloth.
* Reprint of the first edition. Parsons was a member of the Harvard Law School faculty and an authority on maritime law. This impressive treatise was a breakthrough because it was the first to consider the law of shipping, the law of marine insurance and the law and practice of admiralty as interconnected aspects of maritime law. Parsons also includes an extensive list of United States statutes relating to commercial and maritime matters and the rules of practice for United States Courts of Admiralty and Maritime jurisdiction. Taken together, he offers an unparalleled contemporary overview of the subject by one of the most important American legal scholars of the period.
Book Description
This is the 2006 single volume edition of the abridged, or "student," version of the authors' legal treatise on admiralty and maritime law.
Book Description
While the admiralty and maritime law of the United States is harmonious in broad outline with the law of other major maritime nations, it has unique features tied to the structure of the United States Constitution. In Admiralty and Maritime Law Robertson, Sturley and Friedell reveal the areas of international harmony and explore the United States' special problem areas. The book provides the fundamental professional tools necessary to the practice or advanced study of United States maritime law.
While each of the authors is an expert in admiralty and maritime law, the book maintains a nonspecialist's perspective. It enables the well-grounded generalist to understand how and why admiralty is different yet, at the same time, ultimately familiar in its structure and preoccupations. Experienced admiralty teachers will find that the book is an orderly and user-friendly presentation of the unavoidable complexities of this area, with no sacrifice of depth.
A teacher's manual is available.

Book Description
If our economy is doing so well, why are so few of us better off? The answer: rising wage inequality.
Since the early 1970s, the gains of growth have gone almost entirely to a small fraction of the wealthiest and most powerful. Today, American wage inequality is a national crisis, and the question must be: What are we going to do about it?
In an impassioned argument backed by impressive statistical evidence, James Galbraith shows that inequality is not inevitable, nor irreversible, nor the result of impersonal market forces. Instead, blame belongs to specific political decisions and the poor economic performance they produced. And the solution lies within reach, through a return to an economic policy commited to full employment, low and stable interest rates, strong and stable economic growth, and control of inflation by civilized means.
For decades before 1970, America was home to booming technological progress amidst a stable relationship between rich and poor. We were, in those years, a true middle-class society. It was only when the government decided to abandon the goal of full employment, to fight inflation by throwing people out of work, and to use high interest rates like a bludgeon, that inequality began to threaten the American dream.
In Created Unequal, Galbraith explains the relationship between economic policy and the structure of pay. He shows why "knowledge" workers have done well and why service workers have not; why consumer industries have lost ground and why the true service economy is smaller than you think. Whether you are in the aircraft industry (rich) or the garment business (poor), medicine (up-and-coming despite HMOs) or residential construction (in deep decline), you will be surprised and provoked by his findings. Most of all, Galbraith gives us all hope that we can reclaim our country through economic understanding, commonsense policy, and political action.

Wage determined by Supply-demand, buyer-seller. Liberty to buy-sell-trade-commerce.......2006-04-01
Wages are determined by Supply-demand, buyer-seller. Liberty to buy-sell-trade-commerce in a free society.
In a free society with free citizens, as opposed to state-enforced police state like north korea or cuba,
prices and hence wages are determined by supply-demand, demand-supply.
Price is where supply-demand meet.
Witness gold, silver, oil, all traded globally with a price determined by supply-demand.
Why is Wal-Mart on the #1 on the Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500. Simple: quality products at low prices.
Why is Toyota the #1 car-builder and GM and Ford going almost bankrupt. Simple. Toyota can build quality cars at "reasonable" prices.
Consumer want quality products-services at at low prices. True at all places and at all times.
Wages are also determined by supply-demand. Being a retail service clerk is Not going to earn an NBA salary.
Wages in a free society, as wages for pro football, basebll, and basketball are set by the free market of supply-demand.
True today and unlikely to change anytime soon.
Galbraith has exempted himself from either the "marketplace" and the "customer", like father, like son, with a phony, fake, welfare-for-academic job like a professor at the University of Texas.
If you are so smart, why aren't you in the real world making it.
From Yale to Harvard to Cambridge, to Univ of Texas. . From one ivory tower to another ivory until retirement.
Typical "ivory tower pinhead". What a massive fraud. The rest of us have to actually work for a living. Lifelong "ivory tower pinhead".
Those who do not live in reality write books about un-reality. That's what this silly little book is about.
Technically solid, but weaker on policy arguments.......2001-02-23
"Created Unequal" is an impressive work of economic analysis of wage and wealth inequality. Although the book occasionally gets into some relatively rigorous economics, it should be accessible to the determined lay reader.
Professor Galbraith's central thesis is that the amount of wage inequality (the difference between what the wealthiest make and what the poorest make) is tied directly to a number of key factors: the unemployment rate, the interest rate, the strength of the dollar, and so on. Essentially, the lower the unemployment rate, the less the degree of wage inequality. I am simplifying his thesis considerably here, but this is the essence of it. There is a considerable amount of technical research presented that supports the thesis and demonstrating a strong correlation between wage inequality and unemployment.
So, Professor Galbraith makes a persuasive case that the government can affect wage inequality by making certain policy decisions, such as lowering unemployment, raising the minimum wage, weakening the dollar against international currencies, and so on.
But, what is missing from the book is a serious justification of why the free market should not dictate the value of labor. In other words, from a normative standpoint, why should workers be paid two or three or more times the value of their labor? There are egalitarian arguments to be made, of course, but at the same time, if the value of Bill Gates' labor is, say, 100 times more valuable than the work of a custodian, why should Gates' wages be limited to, say, 30 times that of custodian? (At one point, Professor Galbraith suggests a 30-1 limitation.)
In the end, this is an impressive and valuable work. You may or may not agree with the policy decisions that Professor Galbraith supports, but his analysis must be reckoned with.
A compelling case that politics affects wages........1999-06-19
Galbraith provides a cogent, well-documented argument that instability has more to do with wage inequality than does a mechanism for market efficiency. "When the ocean is flat, rowboats and dinghies can join the trawlers out on the reef where the fish are running. But in a gale, the little boats sink while the large ones do not." He argues that reasonable wages obtain from low unemployment and that expecting science and technology to act as the "centerpiece of a progressive agenda is absurd." Highly recommended.
A book for Europeans.......1999-06-11
Polititians and business people in Europe often recommend to learn from the US. But usually they don't tell the full story. Galbraith's book does.
An eye opening look at the american wage structure........1999-05-27
Created Unequal begins by telling the reader that the book will discuss the gap between the highly skilled employee and the unskilled. Mr. Galbraith begins by dicussing the chamge in monetary policy since the 1970's and the change in the labor force, as well. Since the 70's more women and minorities have joined the labor force and the U.S. has enjoyed a prospering economy and slipped into a recession. The main focus of the book is discovering what caused such a huge gap between the skilled and unskilled. One possible solution Mr. Galbraith suggests is the rise in the number of college bound and college graduates in the past twenty years. The increase in education has forced employers to pay these higher skilled employees a greater wage. Another possible answer, which directly relates to education, is the advancement of technology, namely the personal computer. As more and more computer were,and are, becoming part of the business world employers needed to find employees who knew how to operate the new machines. In the beginning, these employees were a rare find and thus, could demand a higher wage. This solution, the most popular among modern economists, is rejected by Galbraith. He states that the rise in education came before the introduction of the personal computer. The technicality and dryness of the book was to be expected as it is a study on a dry science. We did, however, find that the book presented a new outlook on the way sociery functions. The gap between the rich and the poor is large, and ever widening. There no longer exsists a middle class who can keep the balance and rock the vote on Republican, rich favoring policies. Mr. Galbraith is an excellent economist who writes technically on a topic of intrest to everyone.

Excellent Presentation of an Array of Stinking Cases.......1999-10-23
I can't say anything more about this book. The author's presentation skills and overall arrangements are marvelous. It's not only informative to read it, but extremely fun! Though my firm specializes in securities, internal control, and compliance areas, I still regularly raise those issues highlighted in this book to my colleagues over email or during conference. We all benefit from it a lot.
