Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Bills and Notes At the suggestion of many teachers, the publishers have adopted the device of printing in bold type in the footnotes and text the names of all cases there cited which are to be found in certain of the collections of leading and illustrative cases on Bills and Notes in use in the law schools. The cases so printed are to be found in Ames' Cases on the Law of Bills and Notes, Huffcut's Negotiable Instruments, and Johnson's Elements of the Law of Negotiable Contracts (second edition).

Book Description
Excerpt from Hand-Book of the Law of Bills and Notes In preparing a new edition of Mr. Norton's book, it has been deemed advisable to print as an appendix the Negotiable Instruments Law, which has already been adopted in fifteen states, as well as in the Dis triet of Columbia. It is obvious that even an elementary book upon Bills and Notes must contain references to this law, which, while it is, in the main, declaratory in its efiect, settles some doubtful points, and necessarily changes rules in many jurisdictions upon points con cerning which a conflict of laws existed. The text of the law as print ed in the appendix is that of the New York act, such few modifications as have been made by the various states being mentioned in the notes. The law is also valuable to the student, even in states which have not adopted it, as furnishing a concise statement of rules, which for the most part are of universal application; and for this reason the editor has throughout the book, in the footnotes, inserted references to the appropriate sections of the law, at the same time pointing out any changes effected by them. Much new matter has been incorpo rated, and this has necessitated some alteration of the former text. At the suggestion of many teachers, the publishers have adopted the device of printing in bold type in the footnotes and text the names of all cases there cited which are to be found in certain of the collee tions of leading and illustrative cases on Bills and Notes in use in the law schools. The cases so printed are to be found in Ames' Cases on the Law of Bills and Notes, Huffcut's Negotiable Instruments, and Johnson's Elements of the Law of Negotiable Contracts (second edi tion). The present editor wishes to express his great obligation to Prof. Ames, whose Index and Summary at the end of the cases, unquestion ably the most important contribution to the subject that has been made in America, he has constantly consulted; and to Prof. Hufl'cut, whose Negotiable Instruments is an invaluable commentary upon the Negotiable Instruments Law.

Factfulness

Pages : 353
Book Description
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.
Understanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts

Book Description
"Copyright law and contract language are complex, even for attorneys and experts. Authors may be tempted to sign the first version of a publication contract that they receive, especially if negotiating seems complicated, intimidating, or risky. But there is a lot at stake for authors in a book deal, and it is well worth the effort to read the contract, understand its contents, and negotiate for favorable terms. To that end, Understanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts identifies clauses that frequently appear in publishing contracts, explains in plain language what these terms (and typical variations) mean, and presents strategies for negotiating "author-friendly" versions of these clauses. When authors have more information about copyright and publication options for their works, they are better able to make and keep their works available in the ways they want"--Publisher.
