History of Italian Philosophy
This book is a treasure house of Italian philosophy. Narrating and explaining the history of Italian philosophers from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, the author identifies the specificity, peculiarity, originality, and novelty of Italian philosophical thought in the men and women of the Renaissance. The vast intellectual output of the Renaissance can be traced back to a single philosophical stream beginning in Florence and fed by numerous converging human factors. This work offers historians and philosophers a vast survey and penetrating analysis of an intellectual tradition which has heretofore remained virtually unknown to the Anglophonic world of scholarship.

Those Darn Lawyers
LAW / SOCIAL ISSUES Had Problems with Lawyers? • Do they ride roughshod over clients’ rights? • Do lawyer-judges favor lawyers? • Consumer protection rules apply to most busi¬nesses. Why do lawyers have free rein, not even an ombudsman for clients’ rights? THESE AND OTHER questions led the author-journalist to write Those Damn Lawyers, citing her own encounters. This well-documented book tells how a law firm was able to dump her in midstream despite a written contract. Going pro se she took the issue to Connecticut’s Appellate Court, with disturbing results. YOU WILL DISCOVER • How lawyers dump clients they don’t want. • How a lawyer-written rule eases withdrawal. • What happens after the client is abandoned. • How the Appellate Court dodged the issue. • How a due process solution could remedy the problem of lawyers’ breach. Those Darn Lawyers is a personal account, not a how-to manual, but its dos and don’ts can help you get a handle on client-lawyer issues and smooth your way through the tangles of the American civil justice system
Ricochet
Ricochet Confessions Of A Gun Lobbyist "Ricochet tells the truth. With each page I can hear the echo of footsteps down the Rayburn Building's marbled halls as Feldman tells the intimate story few know and even fewer survive." ?Jack Brooks (D-Tex.), former Chairman, U.S. House Judiciary Committee "Ricochet casts an eye-opening spotlight on the shadowy world of behind-the-scenes gun politics. Is it accurate? Absolutely! I was there." ?John Aquilino, former Director, NRA Public Education "Ricochet is right on target. Feldman's behind-the-scenes memoir vividly describes America's firearms debate and struggle to win in extraordinary detail. I thoroughly enjoyed it." ?John W. Magaw, former Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
