A unique mix of wit, wisdom, and practice tips on real estate law from a veteran lawyer, Real Estate Lore is filled with invaluable, practice-focused advice on a range of subjects, including mortgages, landlord-tenant law, buying and selling real estate, brokerage law, and land use and title issues. As the author explains, his book raises some ironies, plays some intellectual games, pokes fun at the conventional wisdom, and may even provide a few chuckles about the light side of real estate law.

New Religious Movements tend to start their lives with a number of unequivocal statements, not only of a theological nature but also about the world and appropriate behaviours for the believer. Yet these apparently inalienable Truths and their interpretations frequently become revised, ’adjusted’ or selectively adopted by different believers. This book explores different ways in which, as NRMs develop, stagnate, fade away, or abruptly cease to exist, certain orthodoxies and practices have, for one reason or another, been dropped or radically altered. Sometimes such changes are adapted by only a section of the movement, resulting in schism. Of particular concern are processes that might lead to violent and/or anti-social behaviour. As part of the Ashgate/Inform series, and in the spirit of the Inform Seminars, this book approaches its topic from a wide range of perspectives. Contributors include academics, current and former members of NRMs, and members of ’cult-watching’ movements. All the contributions are of a scholarly rather than a polemic nature, and brought together by Eileen Barker, the founder of Inform.
