Yvain
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Sign Languages of the World
Although a number of edited collections deal with either the languages of the world or the languages of particular regions or genetic families, only a few cover sign languages or even include a substantial amount of information on them. This handbook provides information on some 38 sign languages, including basic facts about each of the languages, structural aspects, history and culture of the Deaf communities, and history of research. This information will be of interest not just to general audiences, including those who are deaf, but also to linguists and students of linguistics. By providing information on sign languages in a manner accessible to a less specialist audience, this volume fills an important gap in the literature.
Antitrust Law, Policy, and Procedure
The Fifth Edition continues to emphasize cases as the best way to teach antitrust law. The principal cases in this edition are the best and most current legal precedents. Judicial opinions are supplemented by historical and economic discussions and analyses. In particular, the notes discuss varying antitrust ideologies, confronting their defects and presenting their strengths. This new edition adds rich new material on: the transnational reach of the United States2 antitrust law; antitrust2s application to intellectual property; the Microsoft case and its history as it implicates monopolization, tying doctrine and market power analysis; expert testimony after Daubert and its relationship to antitrust summary judgment motions; and antitrust2s application in the field of regulated industries.
