Construction Energy Development describes the commercial arrangements used by energy companies to build pipelines and other facilities. The costs of construction-and the profits earned by a contractor-are a direct function of the interplay between key provisions in specialized agreements. Scott Gaille distills his experience negotiating energy procurement and construction agreements into a comprehensive overview of typical contract provisions. Construction Energy Development is the third book in Gaille's Energy Development series, which he uses to teach the fundamentals of energy development at Rice University's Graduate School of Business and The University of Chicago Law School.
Technological advances have opened a new frontier in energy development-shale, the rock from which petroleum originates. Shale Energy Development is based on the author's experiences as a shale developer and describes how companies have adapted their commercial approaches to meet the challenges of shale projects. Shale Energy Development is a stand-alone sequel to Gaille's International Energy Development, which explored how companies navigate political frontiers around the globe. Both serve as texts for his courses at Rice University's Graduate School of Business and the University of Chicago Law School.

A distinguished and experienced appellate court judge, Richard A. Posner offers in this new book a unique and, to orthodox legal thinkers, a startling perspective on how judges and justices decide cases. When conventional legal materials enable judges to ascertain the true facts of a case and apply clear pre-existing legal rules to them, Posner argues, they do so straightforwardly; that is the domain of legalist reasoning. However, in non-routine cases, the conventional materials run out and judges are on their own, navigating uncharted seas with equipment consisting of experience, emotions, and often unconscious beliefs. In doing so, they take on a legislative role, though one that is confi...
This acclaimed series serves as a biography of the U.S. Constitution, offering an indispensable survey of the congressional history behind its development. In a rare examination of the role that both the legislative and executive branches have played in the development of constitutional interpretation, The Constitution in Congress shows how the actions and proceedings of these branches reveal perhaps even more about constitutional disputes than Supreme Court decisions of the time. The centerpiece for the fourth volume in this series is the great debate over slavery and how this divisive issue led the country into the maelstrom of the Civil War. From the Jacksonian revolution of 1829 to the s...
