Sale of Goods: Reading and Applying the Code (American Casebook Series)
Carol L. Chomsky , and Christina L. Kunz Manufacturer: West Group Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0314262059 |
Book Description
This new book offers a fresh approach to teaching the law of sales of goods. Through precisely crafted problems, the book guides students through their own close textual analysis of Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code and then invites them to test their understanding by applying the Code to complex fact situations. Students learn how the Code works by actively parsing the language themselves and exploring the interpretational difficulties presented, rather than relying more passively on cases or explanatory text, which are included here only when necessary to furnish rules or interpretations not derivable by students' own close reading and analysis.With a primary focus on Article 2, the book also incorporates relevant material from Articles 1 and 7, and from related statutes such as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign). It concludes with an assignment on the economic loss doctrine and the relationship between Article 2 claims and tort liability. The text teaches the doctrinal content of the law of sales of goods, while concurrently building students' skills in reading statutes critically and constructing legal solutions to complex problems. The format keeps students actively engaged in analyzing statutory provisions and formulating answers. They will emerge from the process with a deep understanding of the Code, and with the skill to read any statute---including any amendments to Article 2---more effectively.
The book is accompanied by a Teachers' Manual containing the authors' solutions for each of the problems in the text. If the Article 2 revision process results in the adoption of amendments to Article 2, a supplement will be available with additional problems based on the new provisions.

The Concise Edition is more than one third shorter than the full casebook. The Concise Edition, however, is not merely an abridgment of the full version, but rather a self-contained casebook specifically designed for the shorter Accounting for Lawyers courses. The Concise Edition stands entirely on its own, making no reference to the full edition, and providing complete, though more limited, coverage of the field. Despite the overall substantial reduction in the text, the concise edition contains some special added material designed to ease the introduction of several of the core topics in the field.

ADD in the Workplace ADDS a lot of info for people with ADD.......2000-10-21
A comprehensive book, explaining the positives and negatives of ADD in the workplace. The book is written for people who are already working and does not include job hunting informaiton. Personal coping skills and accommodations for employers are described. The book covers possibilities for self-employment, telecommuting, an other ways of "customizing" your own job. Two combinations are covered in separate chapters: women with ADD and people with ADD who also have learning disabilities."
I would like to add a few other points:
1. The book is beautifully laid out in an "ADD-friendly" manner that makes it easy to read.
2. The author speaks in a respectful tone to the reader.
3. She is very positive about ADD.
If you have ADD, this book will add to your repertoire of skills in handling work issues.

Counselling in the Workplace (Counselling in Context)
Adrian Coles Manufacturer: Open University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0335212115 |
Book Description
“The strength of Adrian Coles’ book is its basis in his extensive knowledge of workplace counselling in Britain and his wide knowledge and relationships with those who work in the area. What is magical about his book is his use of examples. Throughout, real life examples of workplace counselling, dilemmas, organisational and many other issues, help to illuminate concepts and bring theory down to earth.” This book is a thorough exploration of the people and practices involved in the provision of counselling in the workplace. It addresses questions such as:
· Why do employees need to be counselled in the workplace?
· Why is counselling in this context so different from counselling in other environments?
· Why are some workplace counsellors hard to manage?
Counselling in organisations is complicated because of the many different and conflicting interests of individuals involved in an organisation. A workplace counsellor needs to be aware of the many roles within an organisation and how those roles are perceived by different members of the organisation. Moreover, workplace counsellors need to know how to provide effective help for employees, and in particular, why this may need to be measured and evaluated by organisations.
Written predominantly from a psychodynamic perspective, the book looks at the complex conscious and unconscious roles that counsellors adopt in organisations and explores different approaches to providing counselling at work. The multitude of conflicting boundary issues present in workplace counselling are thoroughly explored - in particular, the differences between being a counsellor in a workplace and a counsellor in private practice.
Counselling in the Workplace also offers a unique management training programme for counsellor-managers and non-counselling managers. The book is essential reading for counsellors, human resource managers, workplace supervisors, trade union officials and all those involved in decision-making with regard to employee counselling.
