Book Description
Nature has designed laws that govern the process of healing that cannot be changed or altered in any way other than usage in the natural working order. Through the engagement of these laws, the autonomic nervous system requests reconstruction. This process illustrates the need sequence which allows the request to be given by the hypothalamus.

Book Description
Chiara knew she was missing something. She never dreamed it was everything. Awakened to the seedy underbelly of her utopia, Chiara thought that was the worst of it. Then Director Cygnus, her benefactor turned worst enemy, stole her beloved brother. A brother he's promised to return when she repairs the cold fusion energy source she created for him. If only he'd keep that promise! Also, if her suspicions are correct and he's using her inventions for evil instead of good, Chiara can never give him the technology. How does she pretend to grant Cygnus's desires to achieve her own objectives, yet defeat him in the process? Her only choice is to ally with Deran, the sole person who seems willing to share what he knows about the world they live in. Still, Chiara can't help but ask herself-is the swoon-worthy mechanic worthy of her trust, or is he another tool wielded by the almighty conglomerate controlling their world? But fortune never favored cowards. For Chiara to save her family, she must take risks. Even trust someone in a world where trust equals death. This is the second book in the Laws of Attrition series.

Book Description
Ronald Dworkin once imagined law as an empire and judges as its princes. But over time, the arc of law has bent steadily toward deference to the administrative state. Adrian Vermeule argues that law has freely abandoned its imperial pretensions, and has done so for internal legal reasons. In area after area, judges and lawyers, working out the logical implications of legal principles, have come to believe that administrators should be granted broad leeway to set policy, determine facts, interpret ambiguous statutes, and even define the boundaries of their own jurisdiction. Agencies have greater democratic legitimacy and technical competence to confront many issues than lawyers and judges do. And as the questions confronting the state involving climate change, terrorism, and biotechnology (to name a few) have become ever more complex, legal logic increasingly indicates that abnegation is the wisest course of action. As Law’s Abnegation makes clear, the state did not shove law out of the way. The judiciary voluntarily relegated itself to the margins of power. The last and greatest triumph of legalism was to depose itself.

Book Description
Legal Passing offers a nuanced look at how the lives of undocumented Mexicans in the US are constantly shaped by federal, state, and local immigration laws. Angela S. García compares restrictive and accommodating immigration measures in various cities and states to show that place-based inclusion and exclusion unfold in seemingly contradictory ways. Instead of fleeing restrictive localities, undocumented Mexicans react by presenting themselves as “legal,” masking the stigma of illegality to avoid local police and federal immigration enforcement. Restrictive laws coerce assimilation, because as legal passing becomes habitual and embodied, immigrants distance themselves from their ethnic and cultural identities. In accommodating destinations, undocumented Mexicans experience a localized sense of stability and membership that is simultaneously undercut by the threat of federal immigration enforcement and complex street-level tensions with local police. Combining social theory on immigration and race as well as place and law, Legal Passing uncovers the everyday failures and long-term human consequences of contemporary immigration laws in the US.

Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. From FY 2000-08, the number of persons employed by fed. agencies who perform law enforcement (LE) functions and receive either special pay or enhanced retirement benefits, in the form of a faster-accruing pension, has increased by 55%. In addition, as of Sept. 2008, 51,000 personnel were employed in LE-related occupations that could seek enhanced retirement benefits in the future. This report reviewed the retirement benefits provided to LE personnel. It addresses: (1) the processes used to grant enhanced retirement benefits to federal LE personnel; (2) the rationales and potential costs for extending benefits to additional occupations; and (3) the extent to which fed. agencies used human capital tools to retain LE and other personnel.
