Nerison and Bergene Roots and Branches
Between Larry and Ethel Nerison, they trace back to over thirty prime ancestors. This book follows lineages down from each of these ancestors to the present generations. Connections have been found to B.C. dates of Scandinavian Kings, the Mayflower, Laura Ingalls Wilder, U.S. Grant and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Photographs include present generation, ancestors, and ancestral homes and farmsteads on both sides of the Atlantic. A code number system has been developed to identify each family member which allows the reader to trace ancestral lines. These code numbers enable the reader to instantly calculate the number of generations between family members.
Andrew Jackson Higgins and the Boats that Won World War II
Andrew Jackson Higgins is perhaps the most forgotten hero of the Allied victory. He designed the LCVP (landing craft vehicle, personnel) that played such a vital role in the invasion of Normandy as well as the first effective tank landing craft. During the war, New Orleans–based Higgins Industries produced over twenty thousand boats, including lightning-fast PT boats and the twenty-seven-foot airborne lifeboat. Higgins dedicated himself to providing Allied soldiers with the finest landing craft in the world, and he fought the Bureau of Ships, the Washington bureaucracy, and the powerful eastern shipyards to succeed. Jerry Strahan’s biography of Higgins reveals a colorful, controversial character—hard fisted, hard swearing, and hard drinking—who was an outsider to New Orleans’ elite social circles. He was also, however, a hardworking boatbuilder who became a major industrialist with a worldwide reputation—even Hitler was aware of Higgins, calling him “the new Noah.”

After the JD
"The After the JD project will track the professional lives of more than 5,000 lawyers during their first ten years after law school. Whilemost of the project will unfold in coming years, the data presented here provide a first snapshot of the stratified random national sample, based on questionnaires administered two to three years into the new lawyers' careers. The findings presented here will be elaborated and augmented through face-to-face interviews with a sub-sample of roughly 10% of the survey respondents. Building on this first wave, the future work of AJD will employ follow-up questionnaires and personal interviews six and ten years into the respondents' careers. When completed, it will be the first national study of the factors -- personal and professional -- that account for the wide spectrum of legal careers and experiences"--Introduction
The Language of Law School
In this linguistic study of law school education, Mertz shows how law professors employ the Socratic method between teacher and student, forcing the student to shift away from moral and emotional terms in thinking about conflict, toward frameworks of legal authority instead.
