Gifts
Over the past two thousand years, Western legal systems have had to alter some of their most basic principles in order to regulate the giving of gifts. This is a study of how legal concepts from the marketplace have been reshaped to accommodate a fundamentally different type of social practice. Richard Hyland examines the law of gifts in England, India, and the United States, and in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Giftsalso surveys the extensive discussion about gift giving in anthropology, history, economics, philosophy, and sociology. In addition, Hyland offers a critique of the functionalist method in comparative law and demonstrates the benefits of an interpretive approach.

Law and Truth
Taking up a single question--"What does it mean to say a proposition of law is true?"--this book advances a major new account of truth in law. Drawing upon the later philosophy of Wittgenstein, as well as more recent postmodern theory of the relationship between language, meaning, and the world, Patterson examines leading contemporary jurisprudential approaches to this question and finds them flawed in similar and previously unnoticed ways. He offers a powerful alternative account of legal justification, one in which linguistic practice--the use of forms of legal argument--holds the key to legal meaning.

Confronting the War Machine
Focusing on the draft resistance movement in Boston in 1967-68, this study argues that these acts of mass civil disobedience turned the tide in the antiwar movement by drawing the Johnson administration into a confrontation with activists who were largely young, middle-class, liberal, and from suburban backgrounds--the core of Johnson's constituency.
